As soon as I entered the Xiantang Building, neither Shen Shen nor Shen Wang, father and son, looked up at me, and when I approached the two of them, they still didn't look up.

Later, Shen Shen, who was settling accounts at the front desk, only waved at me after hearing my footsteps, and then said, "We're closed here, you can go to another house." ”

Listening to the helpless words and tone of Shen Shen, the big shopkeeper of Xiantang Building, I knew that he was in a very bad mood at the moment, so that the interest in looking up at me was gone.

This state is not like the head of a century-old store, but more like a rooster who has lost his hair.

With a thought that even I felt surprised, I walked in front of Shen Shen, tapped his table a few times, and then spoke: "Boss Shen!

After hearing my name, Shen Shen's hand holding the pen and ledger shook significantly, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked at me in front of the counter.

In a somewhat surprised look, he smiled slightly, and then stretched out his hand to clasp his fist at me and said, "Oh! Huo, Boss Huo, why don't you say a word, I talked like that just now, don't you mind." ”

Listening to Shen Shen's stunned words, I hurriedly nodded back and said, "We are all brothers, don't say these unseen words." I was just passing by and saw that you and the child were there, so I came over to take a look. ”

Hearing this, Shen Shen nodded, then waved his finger at his storefront, and said with some self-deprecation: "This...... Boss Huo came over, I was supposed to entertain you, but it's really no coincidence, I just dismantled the pot stove yesterday, so I can't make room for you to make a banquet for you. ”

When Shen Shen said these words, the wrinkles on the top of his brows became thicker, and there were more black lines on his face, obviously he didn't want me to see his down-and-out appearance, and he didn't want to talk about his predicament.

However, the current dilapidated state of Xiantang Building is clear at a glance, and although the reasons for this are unwilling to say...... I had another idea for him to say.

I smiled at Shen Shen's tactfulness, and then gently took his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Shen, go back to the hospital from the previous ...... I saw you today, that's fate, don't we brothers find a place to sit and catch up?"

Hearing my words, Shen Shen's face became hesitant, he shook his head and said, "I...... There are still some things in the store that have not been counted. ”

"It's okay!" I hurriedly added, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do today, you are busy with yours, I can wait." ”

As I spoke, I raised my hand again, looked at my phone, and then said, "It's almost twelve o'clock, and it's time for lunch! ”

"But......" Shen Shen still said with an embarrassed face: "I ......"

Seeing that Shen Shen still didn't agree, my face turned cold, and I didn't hurry up and sacrificed my killer idea.

As I spoke, I lowered my face and added to Shen Shen: "Shopkeeper Shen, you won't give me this face, right?!How can I say that my brother has also saved your and your son's lives a few times, my cheekiness can't even invite a meal?!"

Listening to my words, Shen Shen hurriedly shook his head and explained to me with a sweaty face: "Absolutely not! Boss Huo, I'm just ...... Not good at drinking...... So, you can tell me a place, and when I'm done with the work at hand, we'll go." ”

Listening to Shen Shen's words, I smiled and pointed to a home-cooked barbecue stall opposite his restaurant and said, "Okay, I'm the most casual person who eats, if you don't bother, where are we?"

Following my meaning, Shen Shen nodded without even thinking about it, and then hurriedly packed up the things at hand, took his son, and followed me to the barbecue stall.

In any case, I also saved the lives of Shen Shen's father and son, so he doesn't want to deal with me anymore, and he will definitely not snub me in this matter.

And I can see that the reason why Shen Shen is hesitant about me is not because he doesn't miss his old feelings or is ungrateful to him, but because he has a good face and feels in front of me...... Some can't hold their heads up.

After all, at the exhibition more than half a year ago, he Shenshen Hotel and my hotel were on the same starting line, and now my hotel has some fame, but he is doing an inventory of the closures.

In the internal gatherings of the Five Organs Temple, the things we eat are often relatively simple, so after Shen Shen followed me to the restaurant, he simply ordered a vegetarian fried cabbage, a few meat skewers, and asked for a meat noodle for his son, plus some sausages and jar meat.

As for me, eating was not my purpose, so my host casually ordered some nonsense, and then served Shen Shen two beers, eating and drinking while talking.

During this period, although Shen Shen said that he didn't know how to drink at first, he couldn't help but persuade me, and in addition to the bitterness in his heart, he still drank some beer, and after three rounds of drinking, his face gradually became red, and the words on his lips gradually increased.

After drinking for a while, Shen Shen, who was in a depressed mood, couldn't help hearing the news and told me all the inside story of his hotel closure.

When he came up, Shen Shen cried and told me that he was sorry for his ancestors, because his poor management had led to the current unsustainable situation.

Listening to his words, I hurriedly asked: "Boss Shen, don't always say such self-defeating words! Discuss with your brothers what difficulties are going on in this store, and everyone will have an idea!"

"Hey!" Shen Shen nodded, and then told me, "Blame me......! It's too easy to think about business......"

It turned out that since Shen Shen was admitted to the hospital, his restaurant operation has been intertwined with his own condition, which can be called difficult.

At first, after Shen Shen was injured by Lin Shaosong, his medical expenses were still paid by Hu Laoer, but later Hu Laoer's horse lost his front hooves and was made into ashes by the third young master of Hui, so his medical expenses were naturally gone.

In addition to these, what is even worse is that after Shen Shen was hospitalized, no one took care of Xiantanglou's business, not to mention anything else, just saying that the untouchable rental door fee was enough for Shen Shen to bear.

But even so, Shen Shen had no intention of giving up, at least when he was just discharged from the hospital, he still had a passionate fighting spirit.

After all, the Shen family of the Confucius Palace has the golden signboard of the Xiantang Building in his hand, and he has the skills and recipes to support the business, as long as he can recover, then he will not worry about the guests, nor will he be worried about the market.

But what Shen Shen never expected was that even so, he couldn't do it at all because of the comprehensive problems of sales and customers.
