The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Liu Minghui didn't know why Cai Quanwu wanted to see him, but since he had come to Yu Li, it must be no trivial matter, so he planned to go there later.

Speaking of which, Liu Minghui hasn't been to Qianmen Street for a long time. Ever since Chen Xueru left Beijing and went to Hong Kong Island, Liu Minghui has never been there again.

After all, although supplies are still scarce now, Niu Ye doesn't buy supplies from him, so Liu Minghui has no intention of going over. He can't run so far just to have a few drinks.

After dinner, Liu Minghui asked Yu Li to leave the door open for him and then rode his bicycle to the tavern.

The two sides were neither far nor close, and it took more than twenty minutes to get there.

Liu Minghui parked the car in front of the door. It was a hot summer day and there was no curtain on the door. Because the summer in Beijing was quite hot, it was cooler to leave the door open.

Liu Minghui walked straight in. At this time, the room was on bright yellow light and was full of guests. As soon as Liu Minghui entered the room, he saw Cai Quanwu busying around. From time to time, he gave things to the guests, which were the leftovers left by the departing guests.

"Madam, give me two ounces of wine."

Liu Minghui came to the counter and said to Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen, who was counting the bills, looked up and saw that it was Liu Minghui. She was surprised and said, "Officer Liu, you are a rare guest. Please take a seat. The food and drinks will be served soon."

After Xu Huizhen finished speaking, she shouted to Cai Quanwu who was busy, "Old Cai, hurry up and receive the distinguished guest."

Seeing this, Liu Minghui quickly waved his hands and said with a smile, "Come on, I'm just a drinker, just take your time."

Liu Minghui did not say that it was Cai Quanwu who asked him to come. He planned to wait and see what Cai Quanwu would say.

I found a corner and sat down. Not long after, Cai Quanwu came over with a tray.

"Brother Liu, the wine is here, and here are these side dishes, a new style. Let's try them."

Cai Quanwu pointed to a plate of what looked like a cold dish and said.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work first, and come over and sit with me when you're free."

Liu Minghui nodded and said to Cai Quanwu.

After all, their business is booming and we can’t just detain them.

Cai Quanwu nodded when he heard this. He was a man of few words, so he didn't say hello to Liu Minghui and went to entertain the guests on his own.

Only Liu Minghui was left alone in the corner, eating snacks and drinking wine, and listening to other people gossiping.

Later in the evening, when there were fewer people in the pub and Cai Quanwu had some free time, he came and sat down in front of Liu Minghui.

"I'm sorry, Brother Liu, for the poor hospitality. Please forgive me."

Tsai apologized repeatedly, seemingly apologizing for her own negligence.

"Hey, why are you being so polite? I'm also very interested in listening to gossip. It's nothing to worry about."

Liu Minghui said nonchalantly.

Seeing this, Cai Quanwu also agreed with a smile. He also brought a small pot of wine and said that he wanted to have a couple of drinks with Liu Minghui. Liu Minghui didn't care and followed his wish.

Although the two have different jobs, Cai Quanwu often walks around the streets and can talk about some interesting things in detail.

For example, there are so many people on Qianmen Street every day, and there are always some interesting things happening. Cai Quanwu also told Liu Minghui about this.

Liu Minghui nodded from time to time. What Cai Quanwu said was really quite eye-catching. After all, there was nothing else to do at this time, so they could only gossip about things that had already happened.

"What are you guys talking about? You look so happy?"

Not long after, Xu Huizhen came over again. Seeing that the two were chatting happily, she couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Liu Minghui smiled and explained, "Nothing, it's just that Lao Cai was telling me about Fan Jinyou's incident."

Cai Quanwu, who was sitting opposite, also nodded woodenly, indicating that Liu Minghui was right.

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen sat directly to the left of Liu Minghui and said unhappily, "Why mention that guy? He almost bankrupted our store. He's such a spendthrift."

Xu Huizhen hated Fan Jinyou to the extreme. You should know that Fan Jinyou had pursued her before, but Xu Huizhen had just taken over the pub at that time and didn't have the intention to pursue her.

But later on Xu Huizhen couldn't help but feel fortunate that she didn't agree, otherwise she would be the one who suffered the consequences.

"Oh, so serious?"

Liu Minghui was very confused and wondered if the silk shop had gone bankrupt. If that was the case, how should he tell Chen Xueru?

You have to know that this is Chen Xueru's hard work. If she knew that it was ruined by Fan Jinyou, she would be furious.

"Ahem, don't listen to Huizhen's nonsense. The company hasn't closed down yet. It's still doing well."

Seeing Liu Minghui's confusion, Cai Quanwu also explained.

"I'm not wrong. It's almost time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you."

Xu Huizhen first complained, then looked straight at Liu Minghui.

"Me, what do you want from me?"

Liu Minghui became even more confused after hearing this, wondering what this had to do with him.

"What else?" Xu Huizhen showed an unhappy expression and then explained: "I can't find Xueru, so I have to look for you."

"What do you want to see Xueru for?"

"Fan Jinyou has messed up the store. Now all the employees have left. Without the old master, who will go there to order clothes? Isn't it that the neighborhood committee lady is planning to ask Xueru to come out of retirement? I don't want this store to close one day."

Xu Huizhen explained a little embarrassedly.

What Xu Huizhen didn't say was that this proposal was made by Fan Jinyou, but Chen Xueru only told Xu Huizhen when she left and didn't say where she was going. Now that she can't be found, the neighborhood committee asked Xu Huizhen to help look for her.

As mentioned before, the tavern and Xueru Silk Shop were the first batch of businesses to undergo the public-private partnership. Moreover, silk shops are no longer privately owned. Chen Xueru gave up her share before she left, so it can be said that the shop is now public.

But it wasn't long before the company was about to go bankrupt, and the impact it caused was really bad, so he had no choice but to invite Chen Xueru back to see if the company could be saved.

Upon hearing this, Liu Minghui glanced at Xu Huizhen and thought to himself that it was a good thing that he did not tell her where Chen Xueru had gone, otherwise everyone would know.

"Boss Xu, I can't help you with this. Xueru has already left Sijiu City and she probably won't be back in the next few years."

When Liu Minghui said this, not only Xu Huizhen but also Cai Quanwu looked at him sideways, not understanding why Chen Xueru would leave Beijing.

Xu Huizhen was very smart. As soon as she heard this, she knew that Liu Minghui definitely didn't want to tell her. His "not knowing" was just an excuse.

"Well, I'm just helping to pass on a message. I don't want to get involved in this matter, but you know, in the eyes of outsiders, Xueru and I have a very good relationship. If someone finds me, I can't help but help, right?"
