Chapter 154 A Gentleman! Li Junsheng Doesn't Fall for the Trap



Immediately afterwards, Ah Ping grabbed a piece of clothing, covered her upper body, and hurriedly ran out of the room, as if there was something extremely terrifying in the room.

"Boss, there are rats in the room!"

Ping called out to Li Junsheng in a panic. Upon hearing this, Li Junsheng grabbed a broom from the living room and prepared to chase the rat away.

Previously, when Li Junsheng was sleeping, he heard some rats or termites gnawing on the wood.

After searching, we found nothing. I never expected that a mouse would dare to appear right in front of the guests today!

However, after Li Junsheng inspected the house, he found no trace of rats, except for the basin where Aping took a bath.

Did you see where the mouse ran off to?

Li Junsheng asked a question, determined to catch the rat today, otherwise the number of rats in the house might increase!

A-Ping stood at the door, not expecting Li Junsheng to be so focused on catching mice that he didn't even glance at her.

There were no mice in the room at all. Ping said casually, "They're probably hiding under the bed or in the closet. I didn't notice them much."

"It's okay, I'll look for it. If all else fails, I'll buy some mousetraps and put them in the house."

Li Junsheng carefully examined the areas under the bed and in the closet.

Since there was no sign of mice, he had no choice but to return to the living room.

"I don't know where the mouse is hiding, don't be afraid, I'll..."

Li Junsheng thought he would buy two mousetraps tomorrow and make sure they caught the mice.

To his surprise, when he turned around, he saw Ah Ping standing innocently behind him, her upper body covered only by a floral jacket.

Apart from that, there was no other clothing to cover them.

Upon seeing A-Ping's fair and rounded shoulders, and the glimpse of her exposed skin, Li Junsheng's heart skipped a beat, and the words he was about to say caught in his throat.

After exchanging a glance with A-Ping, Li Junsheng realized that it was inappropriate for him to stare at her, so he quickly turned around, turned his back to A-Ping, and cursed himself inwardly.

"You're already fifty years old, how come you still have so many messy thoughts in your mind!"

Li Junsheng corrected his thoughts and said to A Ping in a serious tone, "I'll go buy mousetraps tomorrow. You should go back to your room and tidy up first."

A-Ping didn't expect Li Junsheng to be such a gentleman, unmoved by this.

She didn't give up easily. Standing beside Li Junsheng, she said somewhat nervously, "No, there are rats in the house. I'm afraid of those things. Could you help me get the clothes from the bed?"

"It's just a few steps, you can carry it yourself. I was searching for mice so thoroughly, they must have been scared away!"

To avoid A-Ping, Li Junsheng, like a crab, walked sideways to the sofa and then sat down with his back to A-Ping.

Otherwise, since she's barely dressed, even glancing at her would be an offense.

After a moment of silence, Ah Ping hurriedly put on a coat, buttoned up a few buttons, and sat down opposite Li Junsheng!

A-Ping's collar was slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone. She smiled at Li Junsheng and said softly, "I'm a little scared. Let's sit in the living room for a while and go back to the room when Xiaoyu comes back."

Li Junsheng nodded, then stared intently at the black and white television.

If he remembers correctly, the country released a color television this year, and now that he has enough money, it's time to replace this black and white television!

Li Junsheng doesn't watch TV much, but his three children like to watch it when they have nothing to do.

Buying a color TV for them is worthwhile.

When Li Junsheng was thinking about buying a color TV, A Ping looked at him with a hint of resentment.

The implication of them offering themselves up is quite clear, isn't it?

Is this person genuinely ignorant, or are they pretending?

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, boss. I didn't even know how old you are. May I call you Brother Li?"

A-Ping stared at Li Junsheng, trying to close the psychological distance between them.

Li Junsheng was taken aback. If A Ping called him Brother Li, wouldn't that mess up the generational hierarchy?

After all, Xiaoyu, Chunya, and even her second daughter-in-law all usually call her Sister Ping.

Logically, A-Ping should call him "Uncle," but why did she call him "Brother Li"?

Calling each other "brother" and "sister" sounds so ambiguous!

Li Junsheng glanced at A Ping, sensing something was off about her tonight. What was she up to?

Li Junsheng hesitated, wondering if he should just get straight to the point with A Ping, so that the two of them wouldn't sit there like they were speaking in riddles.

As A-Ping looked at Li Junsheng, even Li Junsheng had to admit that A-Ping was truly beautiful, possessing a stunning beauty that perfectly matched the aesthetic standards of his generation.

She's become a female celebrity in Hong Kong, so how could someone as beautiful as her end up so miserable as to be homeless?

Li Junsheng seemed to be deep in thought, while A Ping was also seriously trying to lure him in. No man could stand being watched like that, right?

"cough!"

Li Junsheng cleared his throat, not wanting the atmosphere between himself and A Ping to become too ambiguous.

Just then, the door lock rattled, and A-Ping's expression changed. She quickly ran from the living room back into the house.

The room was just filled with warmth, but now it has vanished completely!

Li Junsheng looked towards the door and saw that it was his second brother and Tang Liang who had returned.

"Why are you two back so early? Did you finish watching the movie?"

Tang Liang smacked his lips and said to Li Junsheng, "This movie is about a girl's story. My second brother and I didn't find it very interesting. We just chatted on the side."

"Yes, there is a problem. Tang Liang came back with me to discuss it with you."

Li Guohua washed his hands and then plopped down on the sofa.

"What's the problem? Tell me about it."

Li Junsheng looked at Tang Liang, who then explained to Li Junsheng in detail one of the existing problems at the restaurant.

"Cooking dishes fresh every day is too time-consuming. The restaurant staff simply can't keep up, especially when there are many customers and many orders that need to be delivered to workplaces. There are just not enough people!"

“I’m thinking about how to solve this timeliness problem. Should we hire more chefs or something else? Otherwise, we’ll either only offer delivery or only allow dine-in customers. The two models are incompatible.”

Upon hearing Tang Liang's words, Li Junsheng nodded, agreeing with the problem Tang Liang had identified.

Li Junsheng had long known that this problem would arise whenever a large number of delivery orders were involved!

That's why he wanted to open a food processing plant.

"I must say, Xiao Liang, your insight is getting better and better. You can see the hidden problems in the restaurant. I've been thinking about how to solve this problem for a while now. Of course, it's not hard to solve."

"But I'd like to hear your thoughts first."

Tang Liang was a little nervous when he heard this, feeling that his father-in-law was testing him.

What if I don't answer well? My father-in-law will be disappointed, right?

"Dad, if you want me to say it..."
