Chapter 188: Lin Ji
Shao Qin still shook his head: "That's a bit much, you said to give a few hundred red envelopes or something, I'm happy to accept it." Now it's twenty or thirty thousand, and you only earn so much, which is not appropriate. ”
"You two are a bit of a dead brain. Li Zhengyi said dissatisfiedly, "When my family opened an acquisition station, I was in a hurry to use the money, but you borrowed it without saying a word, and I have always admitted it." ”
Lin Yuantu said: "That's different, can it be the same to lend and give? Otherwise, we will borrow your money first, and then the business will start and then pay you back, how about it?"
"Okay. Li Zheng had to agree, although he had always known in his previous life and in this life that the temperament of his brother-in-law Lin Yuantu and his family was that they would rather suffer losses than take advantage, but now that they are really facing it, they are still very speechless.
In the next few days, Li Zhengyi accompanied Lin Yuantu to buy a southern grocery store that was originally used to sell groceries at the south of Xiaochao Street, the closest intersection to the new Internet café in Poziao.
Originally, the area of the grocery store was not large, only about ten square meters, but behind the grocery store, there was a room for self-use, and after opening up, the total area of the store was about 50 square meters.
The rent is average, 12,000 a year, which must be paid in a lump sum, and the deposit is for one quarter. plus the decoration costs, a total of less than 30,000 yuan, Li Zhengyi paid it together.
At the beginning of November, Lin Kee Hotel officially opened, and the first business was an order from Li Zhengyi's studio, 23 boxed lunches. In the early days of the opening, there were not many customers who ate, but Lin Yuantu's own cooking skills were very good, coupled with the family hand-me-down braised meat skills, slowly, the number of repeat customers increased, and in less than a month, the braised meat of Lin Kee Hotel began to form a unique reputation in the school district.
Of course, that's all for later.
Before the opening of Lin Ji Hotel, Zhuang Xiangqiu, who had not seen him for a long time, came to find Li Zhengyi once since the last legendary internal chat. The two usually just chat with each other on QQ, because both parties have been busy recently, so there is almost no time to meet.
This time, Zhuang Xiangqiu came to return the shoes last time, and she was very embarrassed for almost a month, and said sorry to Shao Qin in person.
The two had a brief meal, and before leaving, Li Zhengyi asked her: "Isn't there a store manager in your store?" I can understand that you are very busy during the National Day, but are you so busy on weekdays, and you want to keep watch every inch?"
It's the end of October now, after a few autumn rains, it's getting cooler and cooler day by day, Zhuang Xiangqiu, who was originally dressed to take the sexy route, is dressed more formally, the upper body is a decent small-collar suit, tightly wrapped around the bulging chest, and the lower body is a pair of black pants with moderate ribbon cutting, with a pair of half-heeled black pointed scalp shoes, looking smart and capable.
Compared with the last time they met, Zhuang Xiangqiu's expression was a little more tired, and he seemed to be full of concerns, and his originally plump and ruddy face looked much lighter. She didn't answer Li Zhengyi's words, but said: "In addition, there are some things that are busy, and I can't get out of my body for a while, during this time, I'm afraid that I won't be free, in fact, the business in my store is very little now, and I only go there occasionally." ”
Li Zhengyi asked with concern, "Is there something wrong?" Can I help?"
"Can't help. Zhuang Xiangqiu shook his head bluntly, "I'm helping out in my father's company now, and I'm so busy all day and night that I don't have any gaps, endless meetings, and endless things." ”
Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you don't want to go to your father's company to do things? Why do you want to go?
Zhuang Xiangqiu shook his head and said: "No, there was a little accident in the middle, my dad didn't know why, all of a sudden, he was depressed all day, and he couldn't lift any spirits." ”
"Have you seen a doctor?" asked Li Zhengyi.
"The doctor has seen it more than once or twice. Zhuang Xiangqiu's eyes were a little melancholy, "The doctor tried his best, all the tests that could be done have been done, but he couldn't find out what was wrong, he couldn't and didn't have the heart to deal with the company's business for the time being, so I could only force myself into battle and do it for me for a while." ”
"How long has it been? It's not a big problem, right?" Li Zhengyi hurriedly put away his smile, although he hadn't seen Zhuang's father, but with his thinking, that kind of person who had already broken through the wind and waves would not have such an obvious abnormal state under normal circumstances.
"I don't know, what the doctor meant, just need to recuperate. ”
"And what about your dad's reaction?
"I didn't have a big reaction, just sat quietly and talked to him, just casually humming and not even paying attention to you, as if I was completely immersed in my own thoughts. ”
Li Zhengyi pondered for a while and said, "Then have you noticed any abnormalities in your daily life? For example, business, competitors, or other special circumstances." ”
Speaking of these, Zhuang Xiangqiu was even more sad: "Usually I only care about playing around and rarely pay attention to my father's affairs, so I basically don't know anything. Now think about how many things my dad has to do alone, but he allows me to be carefree and laissez-faire. To be honest, I've been really unfilial in this regard. ”
Li Zhengyi comforted and said: "Don't blame yourself too much, just pay more attention in the future, if there is anything that can be used by me, you can tell me directly, don't be polite." Besides, I'll find a time in two days to visit your uncle at your house, how about you?"
"Still don't go. Zhuang Xiangqiu hurriedly shook his head, "Although he didn't speak during this time, he had a very bad temper most of the time, and many people around him were scolded by him, I'm afraid that I won't know where to provoke him and embarrass you." ”
Li Zhengyi smiled: "If you find a time, you will inform me depending on the situation, I thought about going to thank him for the last time, if you don't go, it's not good after all." ”
"Okay then, I'll talk about it when I have a chance. ”
The two chatted casually for a while, and Zhuang Xiangqiu said goodbye and left.
Another autumn rain has passed, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, and there is already a little cold air that cannot be sheltered in the wind. At the end of the month, Li Zhengyi called the acquisition station and greeted his parents.
Li's father ended the call in a few words, only Li's mother kept chattering, and told Li Zhengyi to pay attention to cold protection and keep warm, don't just want to be refreshing, and don't want to add clothes.
Li's mother obviously knows her son, and since she was a child, she never took the initiative to add clothes to keep warm when the weather turned cold. In cold weather, sometimes it's a shirt and a coat over it. Even on a cold day, he still wears a pair of thin pants, and would rather shiver from the cold than wear a pair of autumn pants.
Ending the call in warmth, Li Zhengyi sighed with God's love and care from his relatives, and his previous life was far away in his dream. More than 20 years later, relive the old days again.
In this life, we must work hard to not return to the world in vain.
As the time entered November, because the legendary game had not changed for more than half a month since the second diversion, the studio tended to be stable, and Li Zhengyi's time gradually increased, and he began to think about finishing the programming course that he had originally left behind. When I stopped classes at the end of September, I seemed to remember that there were more than a dozen class hours, and I was idle anyway, and it was over when I finished learning.
