Unexpectedly, Tang Dongliang kept asking Li Junsheng questions.
"Xiaoyu's dad, how much did it cost you to buy this restaurant, from the initial purchase to the renovations and opening?"
Li Junsheng glanced at Tang Dongliang, wondering, "What's wrong? Is he interested in how much money I spent on opening a restaurant? Does he want to open one too?"
Thinking this through, Li Junsheng didn't hide anything and gave Tang Dongliang a rough figure.
"It'll cost at least 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, and that's without even considering the decoration!"
If you're looking for high-end interior design, tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan is far from enough.
Upon hearing the price, Tang Dongliang and his wife, as well as Tang Liang's parents, aunt and uncle, were all dumbfounded!
Tens or hundreds of thousands—that's a number they couldn't even imagine.
In this day and age, a family that can earn 10,000 yuan is considered very wealthy.
Tang Dongliang quickly calmed down and realized that Li Junsheng had spent so much money to open this restaurant. He looked as if he had discovered some unspeakable secret, and his eyes were filled with excitement!
Tang Dongliang tapped the table and then began questioning Li Junsheng.
"Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, that's really expensive. With so much money and such a high investment in a restaurant, and it's not a state-owned restaurant, how did you manage to open it without government support?"
"Tang Liang's uncle is also a worker in a state-owned factory, and he's even a section chief. His salary should be about the same as yours. I know that he has to be very frugal to support his family."
"Xiaoyu's dad, how did you save so much money? Can you share your tips with us?"
Tang Dongliang's sarcastic tone made Li Junsheng understand.
He went through all that trouble, first asking if he was a worker in a state-owned factory, then asking how much money he had invested in the restaurant, his ultimate goal being to question whether the money he had used to open the restaurant was from an illegitimate source!
Mr. and Mrs. Tang exchanged a glance, also curious as to why Li Junsheng could afford to open a restaurant.
"Xiaoyu's dad, I'm also quite curious. Why did you quit your job at the state-owned factory and start your own restaurant? Was the secure job at the state-owned factory not good enough, or is there some other unspeakable reason?"
Tang Dongliang then questioned Li Junsheng, making it sound as if Li Junsheng had secretly done something illegal in the factory.
He was afraid of being discovered, so he hurriedly resigned and then opened a restaurant!
For a normal person, a job in a state-owned factory is definitely better.
But Li Junsheng, having been reborn and knowing the future trends of the times, naturally wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket.
He has no way to explain this to others now, and Li Junsheng doesn't want to explain to Tang Dongliang, who is deliberately picking a fight.
Li Xiaoyu, however, couldn't stand Tang Dongliang's attempt to smear her father. She glared at Tang Dongliang and explained, "Our restaurant has an investor. We don't need to pay for all of this ourselves. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
Li Xiaoyu was quite rude to him, and Tang Dongliang disliked Li Xiaoyu's disrespect.
She's just a niece-in-law who's not even married yet, and she already dares to boss me around like that. What will she be like after she's officially married into the family!
Tang Dongliang took a sip of his drink and, still deliberately picking a fight, said, "What kind of big boss would be so kind as to give you money to open a shop for free? I don't believe in such a free lunch."
Tang Dongliang's words directly exposed his ignorance and stupidity to Li Junsheng's family.
Li Guohua was speechless. When you encounter such an uncultured and self-righteous guy, there's no way to explain it to him!
Li Junsheng couldn't help but ask Tang Dongliang with a smile.
"Did the government leave you out when it was eradicating illiteracy? Do you even understand what investing is?"
The atmosphere at the dinner table grew increasingly tense, and Tang Liang, seeing this, was anxious. What was wrong with his uncle?
Why is everything so complicated?
When the topic of eradicating illiteracy came up, Tang Dongliang understood; Li Junsheng was mocking his lack of education.
This infuriated Tang Dongliang. To prove that he hadn't suspected the wrong person, he deliberately brought up the information he had previously obtained from Fang Youcai!
"I heard that you also registered your name at Youcai's agricultural machinery factory? You rented a workshop, did nothing but store scrap materials brought in from the factory?"
"You said you were in the waste recycling business, but in reality, the waste was taken to the agricultural machinery factory and then quickly taken away by another group of people. What were they used for?"
Tang Dongliang reprimanded Li Junsheng, reminding him of what Fang Youcai had told him while drunk after they had been drinking together.
Tang Dongliang suspected that Li Junsheng was engaging in speculation and profiteering!
He didn't know Li Junsheng before, so there was no need for him to report Li Junsheng.
But things are different now. Li Junsheng is still showing off the money he made through speculation in front of me, which is unacceptable!
Upon hearing this, Li Junsheng frowned and looked at Fang Youcai.
Wasn't he supposed to keep this a secret? Why did he still tell Tang Dongliang?
When Fang Youcai met Li Junsheng's gaze, he couldn't help but feel flustered. He hadn't forgotten the promise he had made to Li Junsheng.
Unfortunately, I had drunk too much alcohol earlier and couldn't control myself.
I thought nothing would happen, but my wife's older brother caused trouble at this critical moment!
Fang Youcai gave an embarrassed smile and could only quickly try to smooth things over.
"Brother, when did I say those things to you? I was drunk and don't even remember saying anything I didn't believe. Why are you taking it to heart?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Aunt Tang Xue quickly echoed her husband.
"That's right, Youcai likes to talk nonsense after drinking. You can't believe a word he says when he's drunk!"
Tang Dongliang snorted coldly, completely ignoring what Fang Youcai and his wife were saying.
"What? You two are afraid that Xiaoyu's dad will cause you trouble? What's so scary about that? You've said it, so he can't eat you alive!"
Tang Dongliang stood ramrod straight, demonstrating that he was not afraid of Li Junsheng's criminal forces.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Fang Youcai was restless and didn't know how to stop his brother-in-law from causing trouble!
Should we pull him out?
"Brother, I think you've had too much to drink. Let's go, I'll take you back to rest first."
Fang Youcai stood up decisively, intending to pull Tang Dongliang away.
Otherwise, he would definitely ruin Tang Liang's marriage!
Tang Dongliang shook off Fang Youcai's hand, not wanting to be taken away by him at all.
"I'm perfectly sober. Which eye of yours saw that I was drunk?"
At this moment, Li Xiaoyu couldn't stand Tang Liang's uncle anymore, turned to her father and whispered, "Dad, why don't we call it a day? Things have come to this, what's the point of talking about marriage now?"
Li Junsheng gave his daughter a reassuring look, telling her that Tang Dongliang, this mad dog who bites indiscriminately, was not someone she should be afraid of.
If you show any fear or timidity towards this kind of person, they will only become more aggressive!
Besides, I have all the necessary paperwork, so why should I be afraid of him smearing me?
Tang Liang, on the other hand, immediately sat up from his chair in a hurry when he heard Li Xiaoyu say that they should let's not talk about marriage for now.
