Around noon, Song Lili finally stopped and said, "Let's find a place to eat." She had already looked around enough.
"Okay, okay!" The two younger ones clapped their hands happily, and then perked up.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and she followed Song Lili closely.
In the afternoon, Song Lili looked at everyone and said, "I have something to do in a little while. Are you coming with us or going to have fun by yourselves?"
Now that we're out here, we can't just go home like this!
So it's fine to go and have fun on your own.
"Let's go play, let's go play." Xiao Chen grabbed Zhang Shengtian's hand and said urgently and softly.
Xiao Hui was much more direct when he said "play," he just wanted to play.
Xiao Zhe didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, he probably wanted to go play too.
“Then you two go ahead, we’ll go together.” Song Lili had never considered that she and Zhang Qinghua would be separated.
Therefore, it was quite natural to decide where Zhang Qinghua would go.
Zhang Qinghua didn't object and also wanted to be with Song Lili.
“Then you guys go ahead, I’ll go with them to look around somewhere else,” Zhang Shengtian said finally.
He could also see that the children all wanted to play, and they couldn't get together.
In the afternoon, Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua moved quickly because she had already chosen a location in the morning.
This is at an intersection. The storefront is somewhat dilapidated, and there are only a few scattered shops around, and none of them are doing well.
That's why this store wants to be sold, because business is really bad.
Song Lili wasn't interested in the location, but rather in the size of the shop.
This shop is three times the size of the one near Metropolitan University, but the prices are the same.
This surprised Song Lili. She found the owner and bought it without haggling.
The shop owner was still somewhat incredulous until he actually received the money and completed the formalities, at which point it felt real.
My shop has finally been sold, and I'm satisfied with the price.
This shop has been listed for more than half a year, but no one has paid any attention to it, which has made him somewhat disheartened.
They all thought that if things really didn't work out, they'd just leave it there and wait until someone wanted it before taking it back.
Unexpectedly, I was so lucky this time that I actually found someone who wanted to buy it.
The shop owner happily took the money and left, and Song Lili also happily pulled Zhang Qinghua back home.
She had no idea what the shop owner was thinking; if she had, she would have definitely scoffed.
In the future, this place will be incredibly valuable, and he'll regret it.
But the shop owner didn't know! If he had, he would probably be kicking himself.
The following days were spent ordering tables, decorating the shop, and so on.
After the first time, the second time was much easier and even more efficient.
Two weeks later, the shop renovation was completed, and Song Lili was very happy to see the shop.
She looked around. Although the area was underdeveloped, it had a large population, and the market was not far away, so there was a lot of foot traffic.
Therefore, there's nothing to worry about in opening a hot pot restaurant here.
Song Lili chose an auspicious day and opened for business.
There's no need to specifically choose weekends to open here, because the customers here aren't students, so there's no need to cater to their schedules.
On this day, Song Lili asked for leave from school.
Because of her good grades in her major courses, the teacher turned a blind eye and approved it.
Song Lili rushed to the hot pot restaurant, where all the employees were already there.
"Everyone, get moving! The gate will be opening soon," Song Lili said quickly.
The staff here are also newly recruited, but one person was transferred from the Capital University to serve as the supervisor.
It was a girl named Hu Lin, a capable young woman.
So Song Lili had her eye on this person from the beginning and planned to cultivate him properly; now was the perfect opportunity.
Hu Lin was already familiar with the hot pot restaurant's operations, so when she made arrangements for everyone, she did so in an orderly manner without any sense of panic.
Hu Lin was in charge of the lobby, so Song Lili went directly to the kitchen. With Hu Lin outside, Song Lili felt at ease.
In the kitchen, Song Lili took charge of the arrangements, and everyone got busy.
Time flies, and soon it was ten o'clock. Everything was almost ready, and we could begin.
Song Lili asked Hu Lin to make the arrangements. After the last store opening, Hu Lin understood what she needed to do.
Song Lili doesn't plan to show her face anymore; she'll just stay behind the scenes.
After setting off a string of firecrackers and attracting a crowd, Hu Lin finally spoke.
"Today is the grand opening of our Chenhui Hot Pot restaurant! Everything is 40% off, and the first three customers get a free trial. Don't miss out!"
Those around who heard it started talking about it, but no one came in.
Song Lili wasn't in a hurry. Hu Lin wasn't in a hurry either.
Eventually, someone will come in. There are three free spots available, and there will always be people who want to take advantage of the situation.
As long as one person comes in, there's no worry about not having customers later.
The two people held the vessel steadily, which calmed down the employees who were panicking when no customers came in.
They all stood in two neat rows at the doorway, smiling as they looked outside.
After a period of discussion, someone suddenly asked, "There's also a Chenhui Hot Pot restaurant near the Capital University. Why do you have the same name?"
Clearly, this person knows about Chenhui Hot Pot Restaurant and may have even been to the branch near the university.
Upon hearing this, Hu Lin smiled slightly, with a professional smile, and said, "We are from the same store; this is a branch."
So if you like hot pot, this is the place to go.
"Really?" the person asked, seemingly unconvinced.
Hu Lin maintained her smile and said, "It's true."
"Since it's the same store, I'll go try it." Without further hesitation, the person went inside.
Outside, some people were still discussing what exactly this Chenhui Hot Pot restaurant was.
Others who knew about Chenhui Hot Pot Restaurant had already gone in, and all three spots were filled in no time.
Then, someone came out and explained to everyone, "Chenhui Hot Pot Restaurant is just a hot pot restaurant."
"The food inside is delicious, and as long as you don't waste it, everyone can eat as much as they want after paying. Even the meat is the same."
That last sentence is the most captivating.
Many people got excited when they heard that they could eat meat as much as they wanted, and looked at Hu Lin with excitement.
"Really? Can we really eat whatever we want? Even meat?"
"Yes, as long as you don't waste food, you can eat as much as you want. That's our promise," Hu Lin said with some pride.
She was proud to work in such a place.
Not only is the salary high, but the boss is also friendly, and there are bonuses and good benefits. Many people envy her for having such a job.
