Li Ke replied, "In the largest private room on the second floor. It can accommodate four tables at the same time. I don't have many people, so four tables are just right."
The main thing is the employees in the store, and her friends are really very few now.
Chu Mu hummed, "Then I'll go out and buy some things. I'll be back soon. Do you need help entertaining the guests? I'll be back to help as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Brother Chu. You can go ahead and do your thing. My store manager and beautician will be here soon and will help me with this."
Chu Mu hummed again.
He left the hotel without saying anything else.
Li Ke waited until Chu Mu left before going upstairs.
Soon after, all the employees in her store came over.
Li Ke asked the store manager to wait in the private room to entertain the guests. She took the beautician to the hotel entrance. When the guests came, she asked the beautician to lead the guests upstairs.
Unexpectedly, her father came.
Li Yongtai came wearing that cheap suit on purpose. He had spent several hundred dollars to buy it for business talks and he usually didn't want to wear it.
Tonight, he changed into one, not wanting to embarrass his daughter.
Li Yongtai also sent a flower basket to his daughter's beauty salon, but his flower basket was not placed in a conspicuous place.
Li Ke knew that her father had sent her a flower basket, but she didn't say anything.
Li Ke has been hesitant about whether to invite her father to dinner, and she has not made up her mind yet, because she still has resentment towards her father and has not forgiven him for what he did.
Now, she and her siblings live a stable life.
This was when she was desperate, she got into Jun Li's car and begged Jun Li to save her. Only then did the three siblings have a stable life today.
If she hadn't met Jun Li, she and her sister might have ended up in Brother Qiang's hands and would now be working as hostesses in a nightclub.
The father said that he knew he was wrong, and Li Ke was just waiting and watching, not that he had forgiven his father.
But seeing his father coming, Li Ke did not chase him away. He just asked calmly, "Why are you here?"
Li Yongtai looked very uncomfortable, as he had come uninvited.
But he just wanted to come. This was his daughter's first time starting a business, and he wanted to be there to congratulate her.
"Ake, Dad knew you were having a dinner here tonight, so he came over. Dad wanted to... Dad just wanted to congratulate you. I hope your beauty salon business will be booming and you can open chain stores all over the country."
As he spoke, Li Yongtai took out a big red envelope from his trouser pocket and handed it to Li Ke. He looked at his daughter expectantly and said, "Ake, this is a little gift from Dad. Please don't despise it."
He has no money now. After paying salaries, purchasing raw materials and paying rent, he only has two thousand yuan left for treating people to dinner. If he wants to attract business, he always has to treat people to dinner.
He returned the rest to Brother Qiang.
Pay it back when you have money, little by little, and you will be able to pay off his debt.
In addition to his second wife's monthly income, Brother Qiang only gave her 500 yuan for living expenses, and the rest was used to pay off debts. If the two of them paid off the debt together, the process would be faster.
Therefore, he gave Li Ke a red envelope with only 666 yuan in it, which means good luck, hoping that his daughter's beauty salon would run smoothly.
Such a gift is already the highest for Li Yongtai now, and it can be said that he has done his best.
Li Ke took a look at the big red envelope and took it after a slight hesitation.
But she just folded a corner of the red envelope and returned it to her father, saying calmly: "You don't have any money now, I appreciate your kindness."
"Ake, are you dissatisfied with Dad's gift money?"
Li Yongtai wanted to stuff the red envelope back into his daughter's hands.
"If you keep pushing and shoving here, go back."
Li Ke said with a cold face.
Only then did Li Yongtai put the red envelope back into his trouser pocket.
At this time, Chu Mu came back from shopping.
"Brother Chu."
Li Ke felt like he had found a savior when he saw his stepbrother.
Chu Mu came over.
He looked at Li Yongtai twice, then at Li Ke. The father and daughter looked a bit alike, so he guessed that he might be Li Ke's father.
"Brother Chu, this is my dad. Is it convenient for you now? Please take my dad upstairs. My store manager is entertaining guests in the private room."
Chu Mu said, "Okay."
Li Yongtai looked Chu Mu up and down and asked Li Ke, "Ake, who is this?"
"My stepbrother."
Hearing this, Li Yongtai stopped talking.
After he married his second wife, they were unable to have any children.
The first time my second wife got pregnant, it was an ectopic pregnancy. Every time she got pregnant afterwards, she would miscarry after two months. Once, she was pregnant for more than five months and there was fetal movement, but the pregnancy still stopped.
Repeated miscarriages, even though he sent his wife to the best hospital every time, still caused great damage to her body.
Finally, the doctor told the couple that his wife could no longer get pregnant.
Li Yongtai was disappointed when he heard the news, but fortunately his three children with his ex-wife stayed with him, so he was not short of children.
His second wife cried so hard that she felt hurt.
After that, he changed. He spent money like water and took him to gamble... and eventually ruined the family.
His ex-wife also remarried after the divorce.
Li Yongtai had not gone bankrupt at that time, and was still the prosperous and generous Mr. Li.
He didn't need to ask, as someone with busybodies told him that his ex-wife had remarried.
He knew that his ex-wife was quite happy after remarrying, and had a son and a daughter with her current husband, and her stepson was also very good to her.
