Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Jia Zhang looked at the IOU in her hand, her expression changed for a while, and finally she let out a long sigh!

"Huai Ru, did you write this IOU? It's not fake, right?"

"It's not fake. I've seen it. It should be the IOU written to the He family back then. In those years, only Sha Zhu lent us money!" Qin Huairu said coldly!

"The He family has such a big business, why are they still keeping such a small account? I don't think their crappy restaurant will last long. They have no sense of propriety at all!"

Jia Zhang kept muttering to herself, but Qin Huairu showed no expression. After all, this matter was not glorious, and she had no way of really going to find the person who brought it.

"Alright, stop talking about it! I think He Daqing did it himself. Sha Zhu and his wife didn't come here, so they probably don't know about it! Just let it go, don't tell anyone!"

Qin Huairu stared at Jia Zhang with a warning look in her eyes!

Although Jia Zhang was indignant, the money would not go into her pocket in the end! She smiled awkwardly and lay down to rest.

Although Xiaodang's wedding was quite noisy, after all, the man was not present, so it did not have much impact.

……

Half a month later, Lou Xiao'e came back again, along with a professional hotel designer.

Lou Xiao'e has already chosen a location for her hotel and is ready to start construction in a big way.

Liu Qingshan did not join in the effort. There was no point in throwing in this little money for a hotel with a total investment of more than three million yuan.

Before the hotel's foundation stone laying ceremony, several people gathered at the Ho Kee Restaurant again. This time the children were not there, and Liu Qingshan went there in the evening with a few bottles of Moutai from home.

Everyone knew what we were going to talk about today. Although Liu Qingshan and Sha Zhu didn't want to invest, they still had to get together.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening and there were not many people in the restaurant. Only Liu Lan was left at the cashier counter. They all went into a large private room inside and started chatting.

"Why are you guys so stubborn? What's wrong with being in partnership with me? How can I treat you unfairly? We have been friends for so many years. To put it in a bigger way, it was you who saved our family back then!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at them with a look of disappointment. She really wanted to start a business with them, but the restaurant run by these two people was not up to par in the eyes of a well-informed rich woman like her.

"Sister Xiao'e, we all know that you mean well, but it's fine like this now. Although you are richer than us, you are still the same friend we used to be. If we do business together and there are any conflicts of interest in the future, our friendship will not be so pure!" Liu Qingshan explained with a smile!

"That's what I mean. Under the current circumstances, no matter how rich you are, I will only treat you as our friend Lou Xiao'e. That silly girl, if you became our boss, our relationship would be different!" Sha Zhu interrupted with a grin.

"You are the silly one!" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes in annoyance!

"Sister Xiao'e, we are quite content now. We have enough money to spend and earn a lot every month. As for my small restaurant, once we clean it up someday, it will be our family's ancestral business!"

Sha Zhu's ambitions are not that high. He is quite satisfied with having a restaurant in this yard. He is now thinking about making this restaurant a famous one and passing it on to his children!

"The money we earn is enough to spend. If we really go to Hong Kong one day and don't have enough money, we will come and eat for free at your place. You will be responsible for our food, clothing, housing and transportation then!" Feng Yu said with a smile, holding Lou Xiao'e's arm!

"Yes, let's go eat at a rich man's house!" Tian Xiuyun also joined in the fun.

"I really admire you all. You are all so content with the status quo that you don't even know how to earn more for your children. And you, Liu Qingshan, you have such a good business mind, but you have to go to university to live a leisurely life.

My dad rarely praises people, but he praised you so much, saying that you have a forward-looking vision and perspective. He also asked me to learn more from you, to learn how to avoid idleness?"

Liu Qingshan didn't say much, and turned to ask about the hotel: "Sister Xiao'e, your investment this time is not small. I see that your hotel is planned to be built according to the standards of foreign-related hotels. Do you plan to build a chain?"

"We have plans, but the conditions are not yet ripe. The consumption capacity in other places is too low. I am afraid that after the hotel is built, we won't even be able to earn enough to pay the employees. We also have a hotel under construction in the south, and it will probably be completed in the fall of next year. When the time comes, you guys should come with us and take a look around. Don't stay in this city all the time!"

Although Lou Xiao'e's tone was a little impolite, everyone could hear the kindness in her words.

"Okay, after your hotel is built, we'll go together. My restaurant will be closed for a few days, and we need to rest!"

Sha Zhu really wanted to go out for a walk. Since the restaurant opened, the couple had no days off and wandered around the restaurant like an old donkey.

Lou Xiao'e plans to build the hotel before the opening of the Canton Fair next autumn, so that she can attract a wave of foreign merchants. It's just in time for her to take a few people to the Canton Fair to see the world.

After finishing the serious discussion, everyone stopped talking about the hotel.

"Come on, come on, eat some food. I started preparing this in the morning, everyone come and try it!" Sha Zhu called on everyone to pick up their chopsticks, these were all his signature dishes that he had carefully prepared.

Everyone was not polite and started to clink glasses and chat while drinking.

Sha Zhu suddenly remembered the last time the Third Uncle and Xu Damao had a falling out in Liu Haizhong. He didn't know much about it as he had only heard about it from others, so he asked about it now.

"Qingshan, what happened with Uncle Sanye's company last time? Why did I hear there was such a big fight?"

Liu Qingshan organized his words and said slowly, "A while ago, Uncle Three and Uncle Two, Xu Damao, started a building materials company together. I heard it was quite profitable, and then Uncle Two and Xu Damao kicked Uncle Three out and stopped playing with him, which led to the quarrel."

"Wow! These two guys are smart! If they make money, they kick the people out. If they lose money, the third uncle will lose money as well. This is not the way to do business!" Sha Zhu said with disdain.

"Yes, that day was Xiaodang's wedding, and the Jia family set up three tables. Several uncles sat at one table. I guess the third uncle was upset, and he got drunk and started arguing with the second uncle!

Then the third uncle went back in anger, and the third aunt came over to argue, scolding the two of them!"

"It's so lively. If I had known that, I would have closed the restaurant that day and gone there for lunch! This scene is rare!"

Lou Xiao'e didn't show any expression, and asked, "What did their company buy? Is it large?"

"What are you doing? You don't want to cooperate with them?" Feng Yu pushed her and asked with some confusion.

"How is that possible? I'm just curious. Big building materials companies require huge investments. How can they make ends meet with the little money they have?" Lou Xiao'e explained.

"To put it nicely, it's a building materials company, but in fact, it's just a shell company that trades in approval certificates! Second Uncle has some connections and can get approval certificates for construction rebar. Xu Damao follows him to find customers and makes a profit from the difference by reselling them!" Liu Qingshan said slowly!

"Then this business probably won't last long. Without real skills, the construction industry is too complicated and they will fail easily."

"Isn't this just speculation? I thought they were really dealing in building materials!"
