Chapter 67 Will you come back tonight?

"good."

Wei Qingming pulled out his chair and stood up.

"Let's go out for dinner together. I haven't eaten yet."

Li Qingqing pointed to the lunch box in front of her and said, "I've already eaten."

"For our first meal as partners, I would like to tell you about my future plans." Wei Qingming gave her a reason that could not be refused.

Li Qingqing was surprised at Wei Qingming's work efficiency. Perhaps she could really learn a lot from him.

During the meal, Li Qingqing barely put down her chopsticks as she kept listening to Wei Qingming's business development plan and relevant knowledge about the food industry.

He said a lot, and Li Qingqing listened to it all, but she didn't understand business, so she didn't know how much she could digest.

In addition, she also knew that Wei Qingming started his business since college. He was not a food major, but he had such business talent. Once he saw an opportunity, he would devote himself to it and then get rich returns.

After dinner, she went back to the store to work as usual. With Wei Qingming's guidance, Li Qingqing's vision was finally no longer limited to the area under her control.

For the first time, Li Qingqing had a complete understanding of how to calculate material costs, how to allocate labor, how to place orders more efficiently, and how the entire business line operates.

However, Wei Qingming told her that the most important thing for her now is to study the product more so that she will have a solid foundation to deal with specific projects in the future.

He said something at the dinner table that left a deep impression on Li Qingqing.

He said: It is easy to make one dessert, but making ten thousand desserts at the same time and ensuring that each dessert is of the same quality and taste will test the skills of the dessert developer.

Li Qingqing has never made 10,000 desserts, just as she never thought she could earn 900,000 in three years.

This is a gap in thinking, a different perspective from which an employee and a boss see a problem.

Wei Qingming's words at the dinner table seemed to have opened her third eye. Perhaps she could really achieve unexpected results in three to five years. It was hard to say.

Li Qingqing's imagination of life suddenly expanded several times.

This feeling is very strange. In the past, Li Qingqing only felt that life was hard, her father didn't love her, and her mother didn't care about her. It seemed that poverty never thought of letting her go, which led her to think that her upper limit was very low.

Finding a decent job, making money steadily and living an ordinary life, this is all she expects.

Now that I think about it, this way of thinking seemed to be the strongest shackles her original family had put on her, and she didn't even realize it.

Fortunately, she woke up in time, and now everything is still possible. From now on, her heart will be stronger than before, and her mind will be more open than before.

Li Qingqing suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of energy.

After get off work in the evening, she stayed in the store for a while longer, reviewed all the orders placed today, and began to analyze the sales of the products on her own.

In the past, Wei Qingming would tell them the results directly after analysis. Now, Li Qingqing also wants to analyze it herself. She wants to see the operation of the entire store from Wei Qingming's perspective.

If Wei Qingming can do it, maybe she can do it too.

After staying in the store until after eight o'clock and standing all day, Li Qingqing finally felt tired.

It was already nine o'clock when I took the subway back to Wanhua. When I opened the door, the house was pitch dark and Lu Yan had not returned yet.

She wanted to send him a message to ask him what he thought about the issue, but she felt that it was unnecessary. She had already made the decision anyway, and whether he agreed or not, she would definitely argue for it.

After a quick meal, Li Qingqing washed up and went to bed. She waited until late, but Lu Yan still didn't come back. Li Qingqing thought he might still be angry with her. She didn't blame him. It was her own fault for not keeping her promise, so he was right to be angry.

Li Qingqing lay on the bed and recalled the details of their time together.

She remembered that she was a little afraid of him at first. People like him who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths always made people feel distant and afraid to get close to them.

But she didn't know when it started, but she always felt that she had some capital to be willful in front of him.

When did it start? Li Qingqing thought about it carefully.

Maybe it started from what he said: Even if you don’t regard him as her man, you can still regard him as your own resource?

A man who can say such words probably means he is sincere to the girl.

Li Qingqing's nose soured at the thought. What kind of feelings did Lu Yan have for her? He was so bad in bed, but he cared so much about her affairs. This made her feel conflicted.

The next day, when Li Qingqing got up, she saw that the entire apartment was still empty. This was obviously Lu Yan's home, but even though he was angry, he did not forget to leave this private space for her.

But no matter how much she felt, it couldn't stop her from wanting to leave. After all, the good things of others belong to others, and only what is in her own hands truly belongs to her.

The warmth of the encouragement Wei Qingming gave her yesterday was still there, so she got up early and went to the store.

After a long day of intense work, Wei Qingming brought her a bag of money as agreed, and also gave her two baking books. Li Qingqing didn't count them specifically, as she didn't think it was necessary.

She took a taxi to go home today. This was the first time she carried so much money, and she held the bag containing the money in her arms the whole time.

The driver would occasionally glance at her in the rearview mirror, as if he'd noticed something. Li Qingqing tried her best to remain calm, watching the scenery recede from the window. She eventually arrived safely at the Wanhua Apartments.

She came back early today, and she was not sure whether Lu Yan would come back today, so she sent him a message when she got home.

【Will you come back tonight? 】

After about ten minutes, there was a reply, [What's up?]

Li Qingqing knew that Lu Yan could not accept the conditions she proposed yet, so she did not mention this matter to him directly, but used a very common excuse to trick him back.

【Come back tonight and have dinner together. We haven’t had dinner together for a long time.】

When Lu Yan saw the message, he hesitated for a while, but finally showed a long-lost expression of joy.

She was trying to make peace with him, Lu Yan thought. She didn't know how she had resisted messaging her or going to see her these past few days.

But he still replied calmly, "I know. I'll be back after work."

He had a dinner party tonight, but he asked Shen Xing to turn it down for him. This damn woman was finally willing to coax him.

After receiving a positive answer, Li Qingqing immediately went downstairs to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables, and picked out all the ones he usually liked to eat.

When the meal was almost done, Li Qingqing sat at the table, silently waiting for him to get off work. Looking at the table full of the fruits of her labor, she hoped that they could have a good talk later, at least to part ways on good terms.

After waiting for about five minutes, the sound of a door opening was heard outside.

Li Qingqing looked forward to it, stood up and walked to the door to greet him.
