Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Chen Feng, Jin Ling and Lou Xiao'e were seated, Li Guoyuan looked at Lou Xiao'e with a sharp gaze and was the first to break the silence.

Li Guoyuan asked in a calm but meaningful tone, "Miss Lou, it has been quite some time since you came back. I wonder how your investigation went?"

Just now, Chen Feng was secretly wondering why Li Guoyuan happened to stay at home today. When he heard him ask this, Chen Feng suddenly realized that Uncle Li had stayed at home on purpose to wait for Lou Xiaoe's arrival!

Lou Xiao'e, who was suddenly called upon by Li Guoyuan to answer questions, was already a little nervous because she had something to hide. Now she was like a frightened bird. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word for a long time.

After all, although she came back here under the banner of investigation, in fact, she has been here for these days.

She almost always took Chen Xi and others to travel around, eat, drink and have fun, and had never done any serious in-depth research and investigation on the market situation.

However, facing Li Guoyuan's direct questioning, he couldn't just remain silent, right?

Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath, tried to calm her panicked mood, coughed twice to cover up, and then slowly opened her mouth to answer.

"Well... the thing is, I've been walking around the city these past few days and I've discovered that quite a few people are starting to venture into business and start their own businesses."

"However, as of now, the business scale of these people is generally not large. I plan to investigate them carefully after the New Year, and then consider what specific investment to make."

After hearing what Lou Xiao'e said, Li Guoyuan realized that Lou Xiao'e had not yet completed a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the matter, so he wisely chose not to say any more.

Li Guotao, who was standing aside, thought for a moment after listening to what Lou Xiaoe said, and then spoke.

"Ms. Lou, you see, in today's society, many people have joined the business world, and most of them choose to open restaurants or canteens. I wonder if you are interested in this?"

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e fell into deep thought. After a moment, she slowly responded, "As for opening a restaurant, it is indeed a good project with great prospects."

"However, if you are just running a mid- to low-end restaurant, it might not be a big problem to just hire someone to cook in the kitchen."

At this point, Lou Xiao'e paused for a moment, then continued, "However, if you want to build a high-end restaurant, it will be much more complicated!"

"First of all, we need to put a lot of effort into the kitchen and hire a chef with rich experience and superb cooking skills to take charge."

"But nowadays, those really talented chefs either open their own restaurants or work in large companies with high salaries. They don't have the energy or willingness to work for us!"

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Li Guotao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He carefully pondered what Lou Xiao'e said and felt that it made sense.

After all, in today's era, chefs with superb cooking skills have long become the hot commodities that major factories and government agencies are competing for.

Thanks to their outstanding cooking skills, they were hired early on with high salaries.

So, nowadays, finding a truly good chef with superb skills is harder than climbing to the sky!
