Wu Meng stood at the door, extremely embarrassed.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, Li Huan suddenly closed the door.
"Since you're here, you're a guest. Eat your fill before you leave!"
Wu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and walked towards the restaurant.
Wu Meng was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that there were four young and beautiful women sitting in the restaurant.
Wang Yuyan was still dressed in ancient costume, looking like a fairy descending to earth, dazzling and radiant.
"W-what's going on?" Wu Meng asked curiously, "You have so many beautiful women in your family..."
Li Huan didn't explain, but smiled and said, "Please sit down, would you like some beer?"
Wu Meng shook her head and sat down at the dining table.
Li Huan introduced, "Her name is Wu Meng, she also lives in this building, and she is our neighbor."
Sun Shangxiang stared at Wu Meng warily: "I heard from Yu Yan that yesterday when you opened the car door, you bumped into Li Huan's tricycle and actually acted tough, demanding compensation from Li Huan?"
Wu Meng quickly said, "It was a misunderstanding. I didn't make Li Huan pay any money."
Sun Shangxiang snorted, poured herself a glass of beer, and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Qiao was quite polite; she quickly served Wu Meng rice and brought her chopsticks.
"Thank you!" Wu Meng said, and began to eat.
Li Huan also sat down.
"This braised crucian carp smells so good!"
Wu Meng praised it sincerely, savored it carefully, and looked completely delighted.
Li Huan said, "Your stomach is growling, that's why it smells so good."
"No, no, no..." Wu Meng said, "When I was hungry, I ate braised crucian carp many times in hotels, but none of them tasted as good as yours!"
"Before you started your boxed lunch business, you must have received training at a culinary school, right? Were you a top-level chef?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "I have never been to a chef training school, nor have I ever taken a chef's exam. Before I started my boxed lunch business, I always learned to cook from my dad."
Wu Meng said, "Then your dad must be a great chef!"
Li Huan said, "You guessed right, my dad is a chef, and he's good at cooking."
Wu Meng said, "I knew it, like father, like son... Wow... This sweet and sour pork ribs is delicious, so fragrant, so tasty..."
"These seemingly ordinary home-style dishes are cooked to perfection, far surpassing the skills of the chef at my family's restaurant!"
Li Huan's heart skipped a beat: "Does your family own a restaurant?"
Wu Meng nodded: "My parents run a restaurant on the pedestrian street, serving specialty dishes."
Li Huan laughed, "To be able to open a restaurant in such a prime location in the city center, you must have substantial capital. You must earn at least several million every year, right?"
Wu Meng said, "I can't earn that much. The catering industry is very competitive now, and business is not easy."
"Li Huan, your cooking skills are so great, why are you selling boxed lunches at a street stall? Why don't you come work as a chef at my family's restaurant? The monthly salary is at least eight thousand!"
Li Huan took a sip of beer: "I'm not interested in working for someone else. I'm looking for a shop to open my own fast food restaurant."
Just as he finished speaking, Li Huan's phone rang.
Wang Jie, the "Fried Chicken Beauty," called.
"Li Huan! We've found a shop!"
Sister Wang's voice was pleasant and she sounded excited.
Li Huan asked, "Where is the location?"
Sister Wang said, "It's on the pedestrian street! Opposite to Xinghualou! It has two floors and is over 200 square meters!"
Li Huan said, "It's across from Xinghua Tower, a good location, I'm very satisfied..."
"What?" Wu Meng exclaimed in surprise, "It's right across from my restaurant!"
Li Huan was also surprised: "Holy crap, no way, you own Xinghualou?"
Wu Meng said, "What a coincidence! I remember now, there used to be a hot pot restaurant across from my house, but the owner quit and it's being sold..."
"Li Huan! Stop chatting with the pretty girl!" Sister Wang yelled into the phone. "If you're happy with this location, let's schedule a time to go to the pedestrian street tomorrow and take a look. If it's suitable, then rent it!"
Without hesitation, Li Huan replied, "Okay! Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock!"
After ending the call, Li Huan laughed and said, "It's quite a coincidence. Not only did I buy an apartment in this building, but I'm also planning to open a fast food restaurant across from yours! From now on, I'll be your competitor!"
Wu Meng smiled and said, "My family's Xinghualou specializes in specialty dishes, while you make fast food. It's not really competition."
Li Huan said, "What if the fast food I sell consists entirely of specialty dishes?"
Wu Meng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "That can't be considered competition. Our two companies have different customer positioning."
Li Huan said no more and started eating.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Huan said to Sun Shangxiang, "I'm going out on some errands. You all stay home and don't go out."
Sun Shangxiang hurriedly asked, "When will you return?"
Li Huan asked Wu Meng, "Which hospital is Lu Han in?"
Wu Meng replied, "Municipal Hospital."
Li Huan said, "The Municipal Hospital is not far from Yujing Bay. I can get home within an hour."
Sun Shangxiang nodded: "Go and come back quickly, I still have many questions for you."
Pan Jinlian said, "I also have a lot to say to you."
Li Huan teased, "Oh dear, you clingy little devils, you can't be without me for a second, it's so annoying."
Immediately afterwards, Li Huan and Wu Meng went out and entered the elevator.
Wu Meng turned to look at Li Huan, hesitating to speak.
Li Huan suddenly asked, "Did Lu Huan succeed in pursuing you?"
Wu Meng countered, "What do you think?"
Li Huan said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's somewhere between success and failure. Because you don't like Lu Han, you didn't officially establish a romantic relationship with him, but his family background is quite good. You want to keep him as a backup, so you continue to give him the opportunity to pursue you!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Meng's eyes widened in astonishment.
Undoubtedly, Li Huan's words were like a sharp arrow, hitting Wu Meng's "bullseye" precisely.
Upon arriving on the first floor, Li Huan was the first to walk out.
Wu Meng followed behind, watching Li Huan's back.
"You don't know my best friends, do you? Did you find out about me and Lu Han from them?"
Li Huan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, how could a loser like me, who sells boxed lunches at a street stall, know a rich and beautiful woman's best friend?"
Wu Meng retorted, "Which loser could afford a house in Yujing Bay?"
Li Huan said in a serious tone, "Please note, I said 'loser,' not 'poor loser'! Look at my appearance and demeanor, aren't I very much a loser?"
Outside the building, a Mercedes-Benz luxury car was parked.
Seeing Li Huan walk out of the building, Aunt Zhou quickly got out of the car and opened the back door for Li Huan.
After Wu Meng got into the car, Aunt Zhou instructed the driver to start the car.
Li Huan casually asked, "Aunt Zhou, what kind of business do you run?"
Aunt Zhou replied, "Recycling of renewable resources."
Li Huan said, "This line of work is very lucrative. No wonder your son drives a Porsche and is so arrogant!"
Aunt Zhou looked embarrassed: "My son Lu Han is just being immature, please don't take it to heart."
Li Huan knew that the character of a tall, handsome, rich, and successful man was closely related to the family education he received from childhood.
Aunt Zhou seems refined and not at all arrogant, but her husband must be quite domineering and spoils Lu Han.
Fifteen minutes later.
Arrived at the municipal hospital...
