Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 444 Just follow my arrangements!

As night falls, the lights come on!
After chatting all afternoon and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Li Yi immediately proposed to take everyone out to eat.

But both Huang Lixing and Wang Anguo said they were not too hungry and said they could just make porridge at home.

Li Yi knew that everyone didn't want him to spend money. After all, with such a large group of people, it would cost a lot of money to have a casual meal outside.

If you eat something good, it might cost tens or hundreds of dollars more.

Although they knew that Li Yi was not short of money, everyone was still reluctant to let him spend money.

Li Yi directly told everyone that he was going to take everyone to his restaurant for dinner.

After hearing this, everyone immediately became interested. Everyone wanted to see Li Yi's property in the capital.

As a result, the group quickly packed up, then came out of their homes and headed straight to Beiguan Village.

When the convoy arrived at the shabu shop, it was just before 07:30, which is when the shop is busiest.

When Huang Lixing and others walked into the store, they were very surprised to see that [-]% of the tables in the store were filled with customers.

Especially Huang Lixing, he remembered that last year, Li Yi was still an ordinary person driving a carriage selling mushrooms.

I haven't seen him for a few months, but this young man actually opened such a big hotel in a place like the capital.

Let’s not talk about the taste of the food in the restaurant. In terms of popularity alone, it is indeed very good.

At the bar, Long Zhanjun was paying the guests and did not notice Li Yi and others.

But Li Na on the side saw it, and she had seen Wang Anguo, Li Gang and others, as well as Huang Lixing and his wife, and immediately came over to say hello to everyone.

After a while of greetings, Li Yi immediately asked: "Sister, are there any larger private rooms in the store?"

"There is another one. Private room No. [-] has just been packed out and is just big enough for a seat!"

"Okay, I'll take people over, and you ask Dongzi and the others to prepare the dishes quickly!" Li Yi said.

"it is good!"

The group came to Private Room No. [-], and then the guests and hosts were seated!

"Brother Li Yi, your store's business looks pretty good!" Huang Lixing said with a hint of amazement.

"Haha, it's a small fight, not worth mentioning!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Brother Li Yi, your words are too modest. There are not many such popular shops even in Hong Kong Island!"

Then Huang Lixing said again: "Are you interested in accepting my investment so that we can expand this store nationwide?"

Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Li Yi. Everyone thought Huang Lixing's idea was good.

From what you have just seen, if every store had such popularity, it would be difficult not to make money.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Li Yi just smiled and then decisively rejected Huang Lixing's proposal.

"Old Huang, let's forget this matter. If you really want to cooperate, I will have a better deal later and we can work it out together!"

Li Yi is indeed interested in cooperating with Lao Huang, but it is definitely not in the catering industry.

Although the business of the grilled shabu shop is good, under the current market environment, it is difficult to expand on a large scale.

Putting aside the issue of employment, more importantly, most agricultural products now require vouchers, especially grain and meat.

Under such circumstances, it is a bit difficult to maintain such a store, let alone multiple chain stores.

When Huang Lixing heard Li Yi's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately said: "Okay, let's have a good chat tonight!"

"Okay." Just as he said that, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and then he saw Dongzi walking into the private room carrying a large charcoal brazier with an iron bar.

After placing the charcoal basin, he quickly brought a large copper pot.

Then they started serving dishes in the private room, including mutton slices, beef rolls, beef tenderloin, and pork belly.
This is the first time for many people to eat this grilled and scalded dish, and it feels quite fresh.

Soon, everyone was conquered by the feeling of eating meat.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening after dinner. Since Wang Anguo, Li Gang and others would go back early tomorrow morning, at their request, Li Yi arranged for them to stay at the internal guest house of the cotton spinning factory!

After settling Wang Anguo and others, Li Yi took Huang Lixing back to his courtyard.

After returning home, Jiang Xue and Chen Chuhong each settled their little cubs, while Li Yi invited Huang Lixing to his study.

After the two sat down across a small round table, Li Yi poured tea for Huang Lixing and asked, "Old Huang, have you solved the trouble on Hong Kong Island?"

Huang Lixing knew that Li Yi was asking about his failed attempt to wash his hands of Jinpen some time ago. He was silent for a while and then said: "It's basically solved!"

Then, Huang Lixing explained: "I listened to your suggestion, brother, and instead of fighting with them, I returned to the club. When they saw that I no longer insisted on withdrawing, they stopped messing with me!"

"Then what are your plans for the future?" Li Yi asked again.

Huang Lixing shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about this yet, but I really don't want to get involved with the people in the club anymore. I'll have to pay back sooner or later if I hang out!"

"It's okay for me to be hacked to death, but I can't involve A Hong and A Min!"

Li Yi nodded and said: "I understand your thoughts, but the world is like this. You can't enter and leave when you want. You have no control over it!"

"Then what should I do? I no longer have the ambition I had before. If I try to hold on, I may not get good results!" Huang Lixing said in a deep voice.

"Well, I understand, but your so-called golden basin to wash your hands is not feasible. If you really don't want to stay in Hong Kong Island and do those gray businesses, I can help you withdraw calmly!" Li Yi said.

"Really?" Huang Lixing asked excitedly.

"Remember what I told you last year, as long as you take care of the donation to the school, I will give you a blessing!" Li Yi said.

"Of course I remember, but this matter is not easy to operate. Lao Wu and Fat Zaiqiang will not let me quit easily!" Huang Lixing said with a frown.

"You don't have to worry about this, just follow my arrangements!" Li Yi said.

"Then what am I going to do?"

"After you return from the capital, you prepare a sum of money, and then wait for me to go over and operate it!" Li Yi said.

"How much is it?"

"The more the better!"

"Row!"

Then Huang Lixing asked again: "Brother Li Yi, when are you going to Hong Kong Island?"

"After mid-July, after all, Xiaoxue will take the college entrance examination in early July. I can't leave for a long time before that!" Li Yi said.

Huang Lixing thought for a while, it was already mid-May, and there was only less than two months to go!

"Okay, then I'll start preparing for this when I get back!"

"it is good!"

Afterwards, the two chatted about specific details. At almost 10:30 in the evening, the two ended the chat.

Although Huang Lixing didn't know exactly how Li Yi would help him or what kind of business he planned to cooperate with him, he felt confident when he learned that Li Yi was going to Hong Kong Island in person to help him solve the club's affairs!
