She felt that her memory was fading.
She cried out loud, because the ten years of dream were completely washed away, and Nangong Manyun felt powerless as if she had lost everything. No matter how hard she tried, she could not recall the illusion of the ten years.
Nangong Manyun left the meeting room sadly. Standing on the top floor of the building, she looked at the setting sun that was tilted towards her wish.
"It turns out that my most precious memories are those ten years! Unfortunately... I missed the chance. He will never look at me again."
"The immortals and the mortal world cannot be combined. Immortals and mortals are two different things, so why should we be obsessed with each other so deeply?"
Zhang Fan looked at the night sky, Nangong Manyun's sad face clearly reflected in his eyes.
“What a shame!”
He swept away the entanglements and conflicts in his eyes.
Nangong Manyun is more like a fairy than a mortal.
She can become an immortal, but she can never be a good mortal.
Zhang Fan had no regrets, just like he never wanted to reach the ultimate realm of cultivation! That would make him shed everything of a mortal and become a madman who only pursued endless power.
With a snap of his fingers, the lights gradually dimmed. He lay comfortably on the earthen kang, and the seal of the Pawnshop in his palm was casually thrown aside, and then he fell into a deep sleep.
In Xiangyang City, at the corner of Bei Hutong Beef Street, a small store still had its lights on. The lights on the signboard of beef noodles were flickering, and it was obvious that the owner wanted to open the store in the early hours of the morning.
A young man in a clean white chef's uniform was leaning on a corner of the counter, holding a calculator in his hand, looking a little tired.
"Oh, I'm losing money again! This...what's going on!" Li Yang wished he could scratch his hair into a bald head. He lowered his head and calculated carefully.
Soon, he sat down in frustration and placed the calculator heavily on the lunch box.
"Forget it. I've been losing money for more than a day or two! I've never made a profit in more than half a year since I took over this store. I already owe more than 100,000 yuan! Is this the winter that I'm going to freeze to death?"
When he bought this store, he was attracted by its excellent geographical location. The stall selling beef is one of the most visited places in the city.
But who would have thought that the people who sell beef don’t eat beef, and the people who buy beef don’t eat his noodles. He relies entirely on the food delivery platform to support his store, but the commissions of the two platforms are terrible. He can’t make any money at all.
Thinking of this, he remembered the bold words he had spoken at a class reunion a few months ago.
He said he would not be an employee and would become a boss. His relatives in his hometown spread the news. In a few months, he would become a great man. With money, he would lead the villagers to make money together.
When he thought about the fact that the store only had seven or eight customers a day and couldn't even pay the rent, he felt overwhelmed.
At this time, a red-haired beauty walked into the store.
Li Hongyu glanced at the noodle shop which obviously had little business, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Boss, give me a bowl of beef noodles!"
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter. Seeing how beautiful Li Hongyu was, and how fashionable her clothes were, he felt a little inferior for no reason. He sighed, went to cook noodles and brought them to the table.
"It tastes good! I'll buy something from this store!" Li Hongyu tasted it briefly and suddenly spoke.
Li Yang was stunned, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
"Boss, did you hear that? I bought this store. If you want to sell it, name your price."
Li Yang replied subconsciously: "Sell, sell!"
He turned around somewhat at a loss, stared at Li Hongyu and said, "Um, beauty, are you sure you want to buy the store?"
Li Hongyu nodded with a smile: "Of course it's true, you can calculate how much this store will cost! We can count it right away!"
Li Yang blinked his eyes and thought carefully about how much money he spent on the renovation. When he bought the shop, he just did a simple renovation. The lights were the cheapest, the floor tiles were the worst, and the walls were covered with putty powder, which was completely worthless. As a result, it has only been about half a year, and the decoration effect is completely invisible.
So he said, "Just pay the rent. I do have the skills. Do you want to buy it?"
Li Hongyu nodded, stood up and said, "Don't close your store. I will ask someone to come and learn it right away. You will move out before tomorrow, and my people will replace you and run this store."
Li Yang nodded, wondering if he had hit the jackpot. Just as he was wondering how to get out of this situation, someone else got involved.
Lao Zhou drove to the noodle shop, and Li Yang taught him everything he knew. After one night, Lao Zhou learned all the techniques. Li Yang packed up some of his things, including tools and various electrical appliances, and left them all. He left with only 150,000 yuan, reluctant to leave.
Li Hongyu glanced at the noodle shop that didn't look very clean, shook her head and said, "I can't imagine that this person has stomach cancer, but comes to this noodle shop to eat noodles every day. I can't understand it."
Old Zhou blinked and remembered what Zhang Fan said at the table: "Ms. Li, we are now closing the noodle restaurant, what should we do next?"
Li Hongyu pointed at the signboard and said, "Change it, all of it! Now that I've taken over this noodle shop, I must do it well! And Hua Yueying told me that as long as Li Zhongtian drinks the soy milk we prepared for seven consecutive days, his illness will heal on its own. Then when we close the shop, no one will notice, and we will have fulfilled Zhang Fan's request."
Old Zhou blinked and nodded solemnly: "This kid has a good mother. Our efforts are worth it. I'll go make the stew now!"
Li Hongyu was silent for a second, lowered her head and sat in her seat, a deep sadness appearing on her face.
The Li family was burdened with a heavy burden, and only one of the father and son could survive. Perhaps after Li Hongyu was born, her mother could not bear the pressure and chose to leave. Therefore, Li Hongyu grew up eating food from hundreds of villagers.
He could be careless, ruthless, and even cold-blooded like a stone. But she could not escape the love between family members no matter what.
"Li Tianzhong, it all depends on your luck!" After Li Hongyu left the shop, Lao Zhou moved quickly and efficiently. Early the next morning, Lao Zhou, who had been busy all night, did not look tired at all and started to work as a shop owner with ease.
"Hmm? Where is your boss?" Li Tianzhong arrived as promised, looking up at Lao Zhou. A stranger appeared in his familiar store. He wanted to stop keenly.
"He ran away with a loss! I'm his cousin." Old Zhou raised his head and said with an unhappy look on his face. He didn't explain, but let Li Tianzhong nod.
"I originally saw that he was from another place, so I advised him not to open a shop here. No one would go to a noodle shop in the alley on an empty stomach to eat!" Li Tianzhong pointed to the cheapest noodles.
