When it comes to spending money, Li Yutong did some calculations and finally decided to open the business in the old district, where there is a large flow of people and the rent is relatively cheap. When she is busy, her grandmother Chen Xiaoying can help her keep an eye on things.

Chen Xiaoying was very happy that her granddaughter was going to open a hotpot restaurant. She helped her decorate the store, recruit employees, and deal with issues such as business license.

Li Yutong was well prepared and had obtained her ID card a few days ago, and some of the documents were in her own name.

Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang, a married couple, didn't know that their daughter had opened a hot pot restaurant. They thought that Chen Xiaoying had opened another one.

Run over to take a look.

The two were a little confused. Li Hongwei was honest, so he said to Chen Xiaoying: "Mom, why did you write Xiaoyu's name on your store?"

Chen Xiaoying glared at him angrily: "Hongwei, why do you say that too? Don't you think Xiaoyu can't open this store by herself because she is young?"

"How many times have I told you that the food in the restaurant was all developed by her? The two breakfast shops I opened were still taking advantage of her. It was said that you took half, but the other half was actually for Xiaoyu. You two still don't understand?"

Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang were both stunned, looking at each other.

Liu Lanxiang felt uncomfortable: "Mom, didn't you say that it was half for me?"

"Your half? Think about it honestly, what did you do to deserve half? I put the half that was given to Xiaoyu on you, just to prevent that old man and Hongyan and the others from plotting against Hongwei." Chen Xiaoying knew that her boss and his wife were honest couple. Until now, they still believed that half of the money was given to them.

Liu Lanxiang thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case.

If she was given something like the house, her father-in-law and other brothers-in-law would not be too blatant in their plot against Li Hongwei.

only.

"Xiaoyu is still young. Can she manage such a big store? And it's not her name, why not her father's name?" Liu Lanxiang said.

In her eyes, Li Yutong is still a child.

"Don't let yourself be fooled."

Chen Xiaoying glanced at her and said, "Forget it. Even if someone deceived you two, they couldn't deceive her. She knows more than you two."

Li Hongwei was listening on the side. A few years ago, he felt that his daughter seemed to know more than them. Now that she opened this store, he was not too surprised.

"Forget it, just write about her. It's not convenient to write about me."

Seeing the anger on his face, Liu Lanxiang understood that he was afraid that if his name was written, his father Li Pingwang, his sister Li Hongyan, and his brothers would come and cause trouble for him again.

Speaking of which.

As they were talking, the decoration of the hot pot restaurant was almost completed, and a middle-aged man with a briefcase under his armpits walked in hurriedly.

"Hey, Auntie, you opened this hot pot restaurant? So quickly?"

The man was in his forties with a slicked-back hair. He looked like a successful businessman. Li Hongwei stood up and looked at his mother Chen Xiaoying: "Mom, what's this?"

Chen Xiaoying did not hide it. If this person did not give up, he would come to Li Hongwei sooner or later: "He said that he is the business manager of a factory specializing in food packaging in another place, and he came to discuss cooperation with us."

As soon as they talked about cooperation, Li Hongwei suddenly became alert. They were just farmers in the village. What kind of cooperation could they talk about? They must be scammers.

"Talk about cooperation?"

Liu Lanxiang was also startled, and looked at Wang Youben as if he was a liar.

Wang Youben hadn't noticed yet, and smiled as he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Hongwei: "Brother, since I'm older than you, I'll call you brother. I'm the business manager of the Chuanma Food Processing Factory. My name is Wang Youben. Hello, hello."

Li Hongwei is just a rough farmer who has never seen the world, yet people are so polite to him.

Don't hit a smiling person, so he quickly said in a simple and honest manner: "Oh, hello, hello."

Wang Youben sat down, looking at this and that: "I came at the right time today, Auntie, your son is here too, so it will be easy for us to discuss cooperation. I went back to the factory recently and discussed the matter of your hot pot ingredients with our factory director."

"Our factory director is a capable man with foresight. He thinks your hot pot ingredients have great potential and is willing to increase the 30% bonus from last time to 50%. Auntie, this is already a lot. If you want a little more, you will become an employee of our factory."

Wang Youben seemed to be speaking very honestly.

Li Hongwei looked at his mother Chen Xiaoying.

Chen Xiaoying said, "Uncle, didn't I tell you the other day? We are just setting up a small workshop. We won't discuss cooperation with anyone. We will make as much money as we can. We are not greedy."

"I explained everything to you last time, why are you still here?"

Wang Youben smiled and said, "Auntie, society is developing so fast now. You have a way to make a fortune right in front of you. Why don't you take it?"

Then he looked at Li Hongwei and said, "Brother, have you heard of our Sichuan Hemp Food Factory? Take a look at our products."

As he spoke, he took out a pile of food from the big bag he brought.

Instant noodles, bread, spicy strips, rice crusts and other snacks were piled on the table.

Li Hongwei picked it up and took a look. He found that the address and phone number of the food factory were indeed printed on the back. There was no doubt about it.

These things can often be seen in small shops.

He looked at his mother Chen Xiaoying hesitantly: "Mom? Is this okay?"

Chen Xiaoying also saw it and said to Wang Youben: "I know, but I'll tell you the truth, we really don't want to discuss cooperation with you. The main reason is that your factory is too far away, and we don't know what it is like."

"We don't want to worry about this. It's enough to focus on the current career."

"The meat is too big for us to finish, and we're afraid we'll fill ourselves up. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Youben wanted to say something else, but Chen Xiaoying waved her hand and said, "Uncle, forget it. Next time you come to our restaurant to eat hotpot, it's free. Don't say anything else, it hurts our feelings."

Having said that, Wang Youben was filled with disappointment.

He really thought that the hot pot ingredients were very good, so he came to inspect them again and again and discussed cooperation with Old Lady Chen. However, this old lady, after all, was educated but uncultured and indecisive, and she gave up such a great opportunity to make a fortune.

"Well, okay." He was a little angry, so he packed up his things and left.

Li Hongwei didn't understand: "Mom, why don't you cooperate with him?"

"Can't you hear it? I'm afraid he's sold us out, and we don't even know it yet." Chen Xiaoying glared at him and said, "We're living a good life now. Don't believe in the pie in the sky that others paint for you. No matter how big it is, it's not realistic. Let's just run the hot pot restaurant down to earth."

Li Hongwei thought about it and agreed: "Okay."

From beginning to end, their conversation was heard by He Mingliang and He Zixuan who were helping nearby.

In the evening, He Zixuan told his father, Secretary He, about the matter in detail.

"Dad, tell me, is Wang Youben a liar?"
