Li Chunya and Tang Liang breathed a sigh of relief; at least the restaurant's business could continue.
Li Junsheng smiled broadly and said to his children, "I've already made arrangements with people. If we need anything in the future, we can just exchange our grain coupons for grain. Our restaurant will never lack grain and oil again."
Li Junsheng felt a sense of pride. Someone was deliberately targeting him. However, in such a big world, as long as one's mindset doesn't falter, how could one possibly not be able to get even a single grain of food or oil?
Upon learning that Li Junsheng had reached an agreement with someone and that there would be no shortage of food and oil, Li Chunya and Tang Liang were overjoyed.
Tang Liang, in particular, gave Li Junsheng a thumbs up and praised him with a smile, "As expected of my father-in-law, you're really amazing!"
Li Junsheng smiled, but his joy didn't last long. He wanted to know who was deliberately targeting his restaurant.
They cut off our food supply; that's quite a move!
He needs to find out if that Fatty Liu was instructed by someone to issue that rule.
After moving all the grains and oils into the kitchen, Li Junsheng and Tang Liang rested in the restaurant!
As darkness fell, Li Junsheng saw other self-employed individuals go out under the cover of night and quietly return with some grain shortly afterward.
It seems they got in through the back door, while we didn't!
Anyone else can get in through the back door, but I can't. This makes me even more certain that I'm being deliberately targeted.
The next day at noon, Li Junsheng brought a nutritious meal he had prepared himself to visit Mr. He's mother and bring her some delicious food to eat!
Recently, Grandma He's condition has also deteriorated.
Li Junsheng pushed open the door to the ward and saw that Grandma He was sleeping, looking even weaker than before.
She's suffering a lot. I don't know what Mr. He was thinking, but he's doing everything he can to keep her alive!
"Aunt He, I've come to see you. I brought you some food that I made myself. Please get up and have a bite."
Li Junsheng called out loudly to Grandma He, but she was old and hard of hearing, so she couldn't hear him if he spoke softly!
Fortunately, Old Mrs. He heard Li Junsheng's voice. She opened her cloudy eyes and smiled kindly at Li Junsheng.
"Oh, it's Xiao Li. Thank you for bringing me food in person again."
"It's no trouble at all. I made you some soup, and I'll help you sit up so you can have some to drink!"
Li Junsheng skillfully helped Grandma He sit up on the hospital bed, opened the thermos containing bone broth, touched the thermos to make sure the temperature was just right, and then used a spoon to feed Grandma He the broth.
"Xiao Li, I thank you so much. This kind of thing should have been done by my son."
"It's alright, Aunt He. Boss He gave me a lot of money and asked me to take care of you. Speaking of which, hasn't Boss He come to visit you these past few days? What has he been busy with?"
Li Junsheng hadn't seen Boss He for several days either. Ever since the restaurant was expanded, he seemed to have disappeared!
Therefore, Li Junsheng could only go to Old Lady He's place to see if he could find out any news about Boss He.
Since I don't have that many connections, I need Boss He's help to find out why Fatty Liu is targeting me!
Li Junsheng had no choice but to come to Boss He!
However, Old Mrs. He wasn't entirely clear on what her son was busy with.
“I’m not quite sure either. Guang only reports good news and not bad news. Maybe he didn’t give you enough money? Auntie can give you more.”
Seeing that Grandma He had misunderstood, Li Junsheng waved his hands repeatedly, "No, Aunt He, I just haven't seen him for several days, so I just asked casually. He also invested in my restaurant. If I can't find him, I can't give him the dividends."
"Oh, is that so? Ah Guang told me that he invested in your restaurant and thinks you have a talent for doing business."
Did Boss He really say that to his mother? Li Junsheng never expected that he would be seen that way by Boss He!
Since Grandma He didn't know where Boss He was either, Li Junsheng didn't ask her any more questions. He was only concerned about whether she was bored in the hospital and whether he should take her out for a walk later.
Grandma He had a good attitude and said to Li Junsheng with a smile, "How can I get out of bed now? I don't have many days left, but I'm not afraid of death... I watched A Guang grow up and enjoyed the blessings of my son."
"My life is complete, but I'm a little worried about A-Guang. After he was born, I always wanted to give him a brother so that they could support each other!"
"It's a pity his father passed away early. Sigh, why don't you call me godmother, and I'll find Ah Guang a sworn brother!"
Grandma He liked Li Junsheng very much and even wanted to adopt him as her godson.
Li Junsheng dared not presume to associate with Boss He; maintaining the current relationship was already good enough, and taking any further steps might backfire.
"Auntie, please don't say that anymore. I'm already very grateful to Mr. He for investing in my restaurant. How could I dare to presume to be his sworn brother?"
"If Boss He finds out about this, he'll probably think I'm up to no good, just trying to curry favor with him for personal gain!"
Li Junsheng was genuinely afraid that Boss He would misunderstand, so he spoke his mind to Old Lady He, fearing that she might mention it to Boss He and cause him to have a great misunderstanding.
Seeing that Li Junsheng had no intention of becoming her godfather, Old Lady He felt nothing but regret.
Having lived to her age, she understands that some things cannot be forced!
Li Junsheng stayed with Grandma He at the hospital for quite a while before returning to the hotel with the empty food box.
As Li Junsheng approached his restaurant, he noticed that a shop across the street was about to be renovated!
Li Junsheng didn't think much of it. As soon as he arrived at the restaurant entrance, he saw Li Guohua standing there, looking rather grim.
"Second brother, what are you doing standing here? That long face is going to scare the customers away!"
Li Junsheng spoke to Li Guohua in a half-joking manner.
Li Guohua took the empty food box from Li Junsheng, pulled him into the restaurant, and then said seriously to Li Junsheng, "Dad, do you know why the shops across the street are being renovated?"
"I don't know, maybe you're going to change careers."
“I’ve asked around, and the shops across the street are also going to be converted into restaurants. They look like they have quite a big storefront, and they’re deliberately opening one right across from our house. Aren’t they trying to mess with our restaurant?”
Li Guohua gritted his teeth inwardly. These days, making money is really difficult. First, the restaurant almost went out of business.
After much effort, my father managed to resolve the issue of food and oil.
A restaurant is about to open across the street right after that. Isn't it obvious that someone is trying to make trouble for them?
"Dad, do you think we should secretly trip them up?"
Li Guohua was clearly getting restless, but Li Junsheng didn't seem to care much about the matter.
"It's alright, Second Brother. Let's not panic. Besides, our restaurant has great food, a wide variety of dishes, excellent service, and is clean. That restaurant across the street won't stand a chance!"
