"Get up first, let's sit down over there and talk slowly."
Li Xiaoyu helped Li Guojun up, and then asked the kitchen to bring out some food for Xingxing and Xiaoming.
Whether the two children hadn't eaten well before or were genuinely hungry, they wolfed down the food on the table in front of Li Xiaoyu and Li Chunya, devouring it in a flash.
Li Guojun didn't eat, but he smiled awkwardly at Li Xiaoyu and Li Chunya and said, "It's great that restaurants are opening such nice branches now. It's something I never dared to dream of."
"Spring Sprout, Little Rain, is there anything I can do? I promise I'll work diligently and won't cause any trouble. Please, give me a way to make a living!"
Li Guojun was sincere, but Li Xiaoyu hesitated, wondering if she should assign him something to do.
Why not arrange something more demanding for him, and see if he's truly determined to change and stop being lazy?
If he really changes, it's not too late to arrange something easier for him!
"sister……"
Li Xiaoyu whispered something to Li Chunya, who nodded repeatedly, seemingly agreeing with Li Xiaoyu.
A moment later, Li Xiaoyu said to Li Guojun, "Are you sure you want to work at the restaurant? Right now, the only job left is delivering food, which is quite hard. If you can handle it, stay at the restaurant and help with the deliveries!"
Li Guojun was stunned for a moment, then quickly thought that although they were also Li Junsheng's children, Li Guohua and the others were leaders, while he could only help deliver meals and run errands.
Li Guojun lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, he decisively nodded in agreement.
Delivering food is fine!
And so, Li Guojun and his two children stayed at the hotel for the time being.
In the afternoon, after finishing his work at the machinery factory, Li Junsheng returned to the restaurant and saw Xingxing and Xiaoming running around inside!
Li Junsheng was startled, thinking that Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua had returned to cause trouble again, so he quickly called Li Chunya and Li Xiaoyu over to ask them.
"What are Chun Ya, Xiao Yu, Xing Xing, and Xiao Ming doing here?"
The two sisters exchanged a glance and immediately explained the situation to Li Junsheng, fearing that he might not want Li Guojun, Xingxing, and Xiaoming to stay.
Li Xiaoyu also specifically mentioned that at the time, many people were talking about it, so she could only leave Li Guojun and the two children behind temporarily!
Li Chunya also explained Li Xiaoyu's good intentions in asking Li Guojun to deliver the food.
Li Junsheng nodded and said gently to his two daughters, "I understand, I don't blame you!"
As the father and his two daughters were talking, they saw Li Guojun return from delivering food. Li Junsheng looked at his limping leg and noticed the blood seeping through the gauze wrapped around his leg.
Li Junsheng walked over and said coldly to Li Guojun, "The gauze is soaked with blood. Let me take you to the clinic to change your dressing, so that others won't see and spread rumors that our restaurant abused you."
Upon hearing this, Li Guojun instinctively refused!
"No... there's no need to go to the clinic."
Li Guojun's reaction was so strong that even he himself felt something was wrong, so he quickly changed the subject with Li Junsheng and cried out his regret to him.
"Dad, I know I was wrong. I was so immature before. I know I was wrong now. Please give me a job. I won't be in any trouble as I am."
"All I want is for my child to have something to eat, and for my child and me to have a place to stay. I don't mind if my monthly salary is low, please forgive me!"
Li Guojun talked on and on, making Li Junsheng sound like some kind of bad guy who didn't want to give him work and wanted to starve him and his children.
Li Junsheng's face darkened, thinking to himself, "This Li Guojun really doesn't know how to talk!"
And... when he said he was wrong, did he genuinely know he was wrong, or was he just pretending?
Li Junsheng remained expressionless, his eyes fixed on Li Guojun, who dared not meet his gaze, clearly feeling guilty!
Li Junsheng couldn't help but recall the things his boss had done in his previous life. After being cheated out of his job at the machinery factory, his boss was furious with him and said some extremely harsh things.
Later, after I diligently studied cooking skills and prepared to work in the catering industry, he heard about it and came over to me with the same insincere apology, regretting that he shouldn't have treated me that way!
But when he failed to open his restaurant and was penniless, he reverted to his ungrateful nature.
Li Guojun inherited Ma Yulian's performative personality; he would do anything and say anything for personal gain.
Li Junsheng no longer dared to trust him, suspecting that his current remorse was all an act.
But Li Junsheng currently has no evidence to prove that Li Guojun was faking it!
I just offered to take him to the clinic to change his dressing, why did he react so strongly?
Just as Li Junsheng was deep in thought and hadn't yet reached a conclusion on the matter, Li Guohua, the food deliveryman, returned to the store covered in mud and with some bruises on his face, looking disheveled.
Seeing this, Li Junsheng could only worry about his second son first.
"Guohua, what happened? Did you fall while delivering food?"
As Li Junsheng spoke, he even helped him brush the dirt off his clothes.
Li Guohua shook his head. "No, Dad. The food I delivered to the film set was stolen, and I was beaten up. Luckily, I protected my head, otherwise I don't know if I could have walked back by myself. It's such a pity about the food."
Li Chunya and Li Xiaoyu looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Are there people who can't afford to eat? Why are they fighting over the food?"
Li Junsheng was also puzzled, and hurriedly asked Li Guohua, "Did you see clearly what the person who hit you looked like?"
Li Guohua shook his head angrily and said, "I didn't see what they looked like. They were all masked, and it wasn't just one person, it was a gang. Even if it was one against one, I might not be able to beat them."
Li Guohua isn't a skinny monkey like Sun Gui. If it really came down to a one-on-one fight, he would have a much better chance of winning!
Unfortunately, there were too many people robbing him, so Li Guohua could only suffer this humiliation.
Still wearing a mask...
Upon hearing the second brother's description, Li Junsheng understood that the person who stole the second brother's food today was definitely prepared.
He no longer had time to care about the boss; his mind was preoccupied with figuring out why this had happened!
Currently, Ma Weidong is in prison, so it's definitely not him who hired someone to cause trouble. Chen Zhiyuan, on the other hand, has been released from the detention center, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Li Junsheng thought it was unlikely that he would lead a group to cause trouble. If he could really organize such a gang, he would have already come to cause trouble.
So who exactly did this?
Competitors?
After all, since their restaurant can deliver food, it's quite tempting for competitors. Plus, they're making more money than the competitors usually do. It's understandable that they might target their own restaurant out of jealousy or for some other reason.
The only thing Li Junsheng was certain of was that this gang had a grudge against his restaurant, so they certainly wouldn't just do this kind of robbery and assault once!
Li Junsheng devised a plan, pulled Li Guohua aside, and whispered something in his ear.
