Li Xiaoyu grinned at Li Junsheng, "Actually, Dad, if you want to start another family, we can understand and agree."
To put it simply, Lu Ping has no children, only a mother.
If she really married her father, there wouldn't be so many messy things. It would be better than her father finding someone with children!
Li Junsheng, however, was reluctant to say this.
"Dad didn't think that far ahead. Once you all have your own families, Dad won't have anything to worry about anymore."
Hearing Li Junsheng say this, Li Xiaoyu felt a little sorry for Lu Ping.
It seems like she's only hoping for the best with her father!
Li Xiaoyu didn't say anything more, after all, the restaurant was quite busy.
Li Junsheng had nothing much to do, so he would brew a pot of tea and drink it at the restaurant. He would also chat with the regular customers.
Once you get to know each other well, customers will definitely think of Li Junsheng's restaurant first when they want to eat out in the future.
In the afternoon, a government official arrived. He was wearing glasses, looked very refined, and was carrying a briefcase.
Upon entering the restaurant, the man politely asked Lu Ping, "Excuse me, comrade, is Mr. Li Junsheng in the restaurant?"
"Yes, I'm here. What can I do for you?"
"Oh, I'm here on official business. I'm here to give Mr. Li an approval letter and to discuss some other matters with him. Could you please show me to him?"
Upon hearing what the young comrade said, Lu Ping knew that there was news about the acquisition of the state-owned noodle processing plant.
She quickly gestured to the young man, "Please come with me, I'll take you to see him."
"Thanks."
Lu Ping led the young man, a customer, to Li Junsheng.
"Brother Li, there's a young comrade sent by the government who says he has an approval letter for you and something else he wants to discuss with you."
Li Junsheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly put down his teacup and shook hands with the young comrade.
"Hello comrade, I am Li Junsheng. Please have a seat and let's sit down and talk slowly."
The young comrade shook hands with Li Junsheng and then sat down at Li Junsheng's invitation.
He didn't say anything, only curiously looking around Li Junsheng's restaurant.
Li Junsheng opened a brand new pack of cigarettes and handed it to the young comrade.
"Young man, do you smoke? Since you've come to my restaurant, I should do my best to be a good host. Let's have a meal and a couple of drinks later!"
Li Junsheng gave the young comrade a lot of face, but the young comrade waved his hand repeatedly.
"No need, Mr. Li, you're too kind. I need to go back and submit a report after handing this over to you, so I won't have time for a meal or drinks. That's not allowed!"
"That's a pity. I'll have someone brew a pot of good tea, let's have some tea together."
This time, the young man did not refuse.
Knowing that everyone else was busy, Li Junsheng called Lu Ping over directly.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping was also proficient in tea ceremony. From warming the cup to serving the tea, Li Junsheng looked at her with new respect!
Sure enough, keeping her around was the right thing to do. When we went out to discuss business, she would make us tea, and we could slowly talk over the tea. What couldn't we discuss?
"Mr. Li, the acquisition application you submitted to us a few days ago has been officially approved by us, and the acquisition approval letter has been formally delivered to you."
"Please come to the noodle processing plant in two days to discuss the price for acquiring the plant. All the leaders and managers of the noodle processing plant will be there to welcome you!"
The young man formally handed the acquisition approval letter to Li Junsheng.
Li Junsheng opened the approval document and glanced at it. The official seal on it was there, so there couldn't be any mistake!
"I am so grateful that the government is willing to trust me and approve my acquisition of the noodle processing plant. Young comrade, please be sure to thank your leaders for me when you get back."
Li Junsheng exchanged pleasantries with the young comrade, offered him fine tea, and gave him a box of extremely expensive cigarettes.
Upon opening the cigarette pack and seeing what was inside, the young man's eyes lit up with understanding, and he immediately put the cigarettes into his pocket!
"Mr. Li, you're too kind. I wish you all the best for the negotiation meeting in two days."
Li Junsheng nodded and exchanged pleasantries with the young comrade, saying, "Actually, I could have just called and come to pick up the approval document myself. I'm sorry to have troubled you to make the trip."
"It's no trouble at all. It's my job. My supervisor specifically instructed me to personally deliver it to you, Mr. Li..."
After chatting with the young man for a while, he had to go back to submit his report.
After Li Junsheng saw the person off, Lu Ping stood beside him, smiling, and said, "That's great! Since the government has approved your acquisition application, there's a very good chance this will succeed!"
"Yes, it's basically a sure thing. Let's go back to the store and tell Xiaoyu and the others the good news."
Li Junsheng turned around, about to return to the hotel, when someone suddenly called him from behind.
"Hey, Mr. Li, wait a minute!"
Li Junsheng felt the voice was familiar, and when he turned around, he found that the person who called him was none other than the grain store owner from before.
I hadn't seen him for quite some time, and I never expected to see him at the restaurant entrance.
"Oh, it's Mr. Xiao from the grain store. What brings you here?"
Li Junsheng glanced at the two black-boned chickens he was carrying; they didn't look like they came from his restaurant.
They were probably just passing by!
Unexpectedly, Boss Xiao, with a fawning expression, said to Li Junsheng while carrying two black-boned chickens, "I heard that you were injured a bit these past few days, so I came to see you. These two black-boned chickens are for you; they're especially nourishing when stewed in soup!"
Mr. Xiao's words truly surprised Li Junsheng.
They weren't close, and Boss Xiao had absolutely no reason to do that.
Could it be that you have something to ask of me?
"Mr. Xiao, you're too kind. I can't accept your black-boned chicken. Besides, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious. There's no need to treat it like this."
Regardless of what Boss Xiao was thinking, Li Junsheng politely declined.
He didn't plan to invite Boss Xiao in for a seat, since he had sent his employee to deliver the torn-up supply contract, which was tantamount to breaking ties with Li Junsheng!
Li Junsheng wouldn't completely ignore him, but he simply had nothing more to say to him.
Seeing that Li Junsheng was about to enter the restaurant, Boss Xiao quickly followed and put on a smiling face!
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I've come here to apologize to you."
"It was wrong of me to tear up the supply contract with you before, Mr. Li. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"
Li Junsheng was surprised. So, Boss Xiao came here just for this?
"That happened so long ago, let's not talk about it. Boss Xiao has his own difficulties, and I can't say anything about it."
Li Junsheng maintained a polite facade, but it was unclear whether Boss Xiao had understood.
He continued, following Li Junsheng's words, "Who says otherwise? It was that fat Liu who was giving orders recklessly before. I didn't dare to go against him, otherwise, how could I not sell grain and oil to Boss Li!"
"But things are better now. Fatty Liu is out of office. Mr. Li, do you think we can sign a new supply contract?"
