In the top-floor box, Qiang Mujie looked directly at Li Li with sharp eyes, his expression serious and his tone solemn.
"I don't care who you want to befriend or make friends with, but don't forget why we came here. Zhou Chen made a lot of money from us. Although it was just a trick used in the capital market, the fact is the fact."
Li Li ignored Qiang Mujie's warning and said calmly: "You also said that it's just the means of the capital market. Also, although we are in a cooperative relationship, my purpose for coming here is different from yours, so you don't need to tell me these things."
Qiang Mujie said: "I'm just telling you, don't ruin our business because of personal feelings."
"Boss Qiang's worry is unnecessary. Boss Qiang is worried that I might ruin things because of my personal feelings. I am also worried that Boss Qiang might ruin things because of his personal feelings. I have already found the person you asked me to find."
Li Li's words instantly changed Qiang Mujie's expression.
"Where is she?"
"Boss Qiang, aren't you going to talk business first?"
Li Li, who had taken the initiative, smiled brilliantly. She and Qiang Mujie had known each other for many years, they had worked together before, and now they were in a cooperative relationship. However, that did not mean that Qiang Mujie could tell her what to do.
Qiang Mujie looked at Li Li deeply and said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen you for a few months. You have changed a lot and seem to be more confident. Is it related to that Mr. Zhou?"
Li Li said: "This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Qiang. The private room here has been prepared for you. What you do next is your business. It has nothing to do with me."
"It has nothing to do with it?"
Qiang Mujie sneered, and it was unclear whether he was laughing at Li Li's naivety or ignorance.
"It's up to you. I came to Shanghai first just to tell you that the main force will arrive early Monday morning. You have to be prepared."
"The waiters responsible for reception have been arranged. They are all from other places and cannot speak Cantonese. The people you want to meet have also been arranged for you. It's up to you when you want to meet."
Qiang Mujie didn't give an answer, but asked again: "Where is she?"
"Jinxian Road."
…………
At the same time, in the same place, Zhou Chen poured tea for Li Li.
"You look like you have something bothering you. I'm flying to Hong Kong tomorrow. If you tell me now, I still have time to help you."
Li Li drank the black tea that Zhou Chen poured and said softly, "I'm used to drinking wine, but drinking tea has a different taste."
As the proprietress of Zhizhen Garden, she needs to deal with guests every day and drinks almost every day.
As for drinking tea, she thought about it and realized that since coming to Shanghai, it seemed that she had only had proper tea at Zhou Chen's place.
"There are no worries, and even if there are, they can be solved."
"It would be nice if it could be solved."
"Thank you for your help with Mr. Wu's order last time. If it weren't for you, Mr. Wu and his team wouldn't have chosen Zhizhen Garden."
"It's just a small matter, drink tea."
Li Li stayed at Zhou Chen's place for several hours and even took a nap on the lounge chair on the balcony. It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that she left Zhou Chen's place.
The next day, Zhou Chen took an afternoon flight to Hong Kong.
At the airport, Zhou Chen hugged Xuezhi who came to pick him up.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, but you're becoming more and more like a strong woman."
Compared to a few months ago, Xuezhi has changed a lot. Before she was with him, she was not in a very good state of mind when she was working as a waitress at the Peninsula Hotel.
But now, Xuezhi is full of energy and in very good condition, and she looks like a strong urban woman.
"You haven't changed much. You're still as energetic and handsome as ever."
Xuezhi looked at Zhou Chen with a dazed look in her eyes. Before being with Zhou Chen, she knew his charm. After being with him, she knew even more clearly how different he was.
No matter from which aspect, Zhou Chen is impeccable and can meet all her physical and spiritual needs. He is simply the man a woman dreams of.
So even after so much time had passed, she didn't regret being with Zhou Chen at all, and sometimes she even wondered why she didn't meet Zhou Chen earlier.
Her current life is what she wanted when she came to Hong Kong from Shanghai, but it took more than ten years for her to achieve it as she grew from a girl to a woman in her thirties.
"The restaurant has been decorated and all preparations have been completed. We are just waiting for you to come and open it. You have to appear in person for the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
Their restaurant has been renovating for more than half a year. It is impossible for a normal restaurant to spend that much time. It is simply a waste of money and time.
But this time Zhou Chen was striving for perfection. If he wanted to make something unique, it would naturally take more time. Anyway, he didn't care about this little time and money. To put it in a pretentious way, it was just the cost of a few bags for a woman.
"I will not show up at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I don't like this kind of occasion. Besides, I won't stay in Hong Kong for long. You still need to support everything here by yourself. I will support you behind the scenes."
Xuezhi said a little nervously: "But I don't have much experience."
"You have met all kinds of wealthy people in the Peninsula Hotel. I believe you will not be stage-frightened. What's more, I have your support. You don't have to be afraid of anyone. Any trouble that can be solved with money is not a trouble for me."
It is already mid-93. Although Hong Kong is still a bit chaotic, most of the problems can be solved with money. He came to Hong Kong to solve possible troubles.
After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Xuezhi's nervous mood remained, but she became more eager to try. After all, being a boss and living a better and more refined life were what she had always pursued. Now she could be fully responsible for a restaurant with an investment of several million, so she was naturally excited.
"Then I'll give it a try."
Zhou Chen first went to the renovated restaurant with Xuezhi to take a look around. He felt it was pretty good. The decoration was about 80% of what he designed. Although it was not perfect, it was already very good, especially in this era. Even in the economically developed Hong Kong, it was definitely very advanced.
After staying in the restaurant for a few hours, Zhou Chen told Xuezhi a lot of knowledge about Feng Shui and restaurants.
In the past few months, Xuezhi has not only been busy with decoration, but also studied. She has learned a lot about Feng Shui metaphysics, all of which were recommended to her by Zhou Chen. Of course, it is impossible for her to become professional in just a few months, but she has already mastered a lot of basic knowledge, which should be no problem for her to use to fool ordinary people.
After returning to the apartment where Xuezhi rented, Xuezhi, who had been patient for a long time, could no longer bear it and impatiently pestered Zhou Chen.
From the moment she entered the door, she completely abandoned her dignity outside and behaved very radically.
In this kind of situation, Zhou Chen certainly couldn't back down. He directly counterattacked, picked up Xuezhi, and bumped all the way from the living room to the sofa.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were so passionate that they spent a long, long time together...
Xuezhi fell into a deep sleep, but Zhou Chen was not sleepy. After the tenderness, he was in a really good mood. He knew that he could not live without women, not only physically but also mentally.
Xuezhi is quite capable. On the opening day of the restaurant, she invited many celebrities and made the ribbon-cutting ceremony a grand occasion.
Zhou Chen did not hesitate about the name of the restaurant and simply named it after Xuezhi. To be concise and to the point, it was called "Xuezhi Restaurant".
This touched Xuezhi so much that she treated Zhou Chen with a whole set of services from top to bottom...
In the blink of an eye, a month passed. After a month of development, Xuezhi Restaurant has become quite famous in the surrounding areas. Many people go there for the feng shui and are attracted by the decoration style.
As the proprietress of a restaurant, Xuezhi has gotten used to her identity and busyness in just one month. She is happy in her busyness and is becoming more and more like a strong woman.
However, there were some troubles during this month, all of which were resolved by Zhou Chen. There was a lot of money spent and fights, but everything was resolved smoothly in the end.
On this day, a special guest came to Xuezhi Restaurant.
A Bao looked at the restaurant sign in front of him with a very complicated look. The name Xuezhi had always been buried deep in his heart. It was a taboo for him and a nightmare that he would never forget in his life. It had always bothered him.
He came to Hong Kong a few days ago for foreign trade business and met many friends in the past few days.
I learned about this Xuezhi restaurant from a friend from Hong Kong when we were having dinner together yesterday. When he heard the name, he was stunned.
He didn't know whether Xuezhi Restaurant was opened by the person he imagined, but he had a hunch that it was probably her.
So he asked about the location of Xuezhi Restaurant, dressed up nicely, and came to this Xuezhi Restaurant.
Although he has not yet figured out whether this restaurant is opened by the person in his mind, he is still very nervous at this time.
He is Mr. Bao, a well-known figure in Shanghai, but when facing the person of his heart, he is always a little timid.
After taking several deep breaths, he mustered up the courage and walked into the restaurant.
“Welcome~”
In addition to the food, service is also very important in a restaurant, so Zhou Chen has made very thorough arrangements in this regard. Both the waiters' appearance and service attitude have been selected and trained.
"Sir, how many people are you?"
"One."
"So you're going to sit in the lobby, or?"
"Are there any private rooms?"
"some."
"Then let's go to the private room."
…………
A Bao came to the private room and looked at the antique and unique room with a look of surprise.
He has been to many restaurants of all kinds, but this is the first time he has seen a restaurant of this type, because it is not only ancient in style, but also has an extremely special style.
He didn't know how to describe it, it was as if there was a mysterious feeling, but he was fine. He knew that Hong Kong people believed in these things very much, so although this restaurant had only been open for a short time, its business was very good.
When Abao was about to order food, he was surprised to find that the names of the dishes on the menu were actually very unique, all of them were ancient style names.
In my uncle’s words, the style of this store is indeed quite eye-catching.
After ordering, A Bao pretended to ask the waiter casually: "Excuse me, why is your restaurant called Xuezhi Restaurant? Is Xuezhi the name of your boss lady?"
The waiter replied with a smile: "Yes, sir, Xuezhi is indeed the name of our boss lady, but our boss lady usually uses the English name, Betty."
"Betty?"
A Bao was stunned for a moment, then he understood that his guess was correct. If it was just Xuezhi, it might have been a coincidence, but with the addition of Betty, he was absolutely sure that the proprietress of this store must be the woman he had been thinking about day and night, his first love, the person he would never forget in his life.
Thinking of this, he couldn't control his emotions and asked the waiter, "Is your boss lady in the restaurant? I'm quite interested in the style of your restaurant and I have some questions to ask. Is it convenient?"
"Sir, I need to ask the boss lady."
The waitress was still smiling. In fact, requests like Abao's had occurred frequently since the restaurant opened, and she was used to it.
After the waiter left, A Bao sat in the box feeling uneasy. Even after a few years, he still couldn't forget that figure. There had been many outstanding women around him before, but no matter who they were, none of them could replace Xuezhi's place in his heart.
The ten-year agreement was not only a competition between him and Xuezhi, but also an opportunity he left for himself.
It was only a few minutes, but to Po, it seemed like a long time.
Until the door of the box was pushed open and a tall, dignified and elegant woman walked in, at this moment, his attention was completely occupied by this woman.
Xuezhi came to the box and was shocked to see that the person who wanted to see her was Abao.
"Po? How did you find this place?"
A Bao smiled and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
"I came to Hong Kong on a business trip and heard there was a Xuezhi restaurant here, so I came over to have a seat. I didn't expect it was actually opened by you. It's been a long time since we last met, and you're still as beautiful as ever. No, you're even more beautiful than the last time we met."
When Xuezhi saw Abao again, her heart was not quite at peace. After all, Abao was her first love. Although nothing happened between them, the pure feeling of first love was still unforgettable.
But she quickly adjusted her mood, smoothed her hair, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for six years, I didn't expect to meet here. I heard that your business in Shanghai is doing very well, and it has even expanded to Nanjing Road. Congratulations."
"There's nothing to congratulate, it's just some luck. As for you, seeing that you are doing so well now, I feel relieved, but I didn't expect you to choose to open a restaurant. I heard that your restaurant has only been open for more than a month, but the business is already very good. It's amazing."
"Yeah, it's only been open for over a month. I'm just running a restaurant now. I'm still far behind you."
Although this restaurant was opened with money from Zhou Chen, Xuezhi didn't want to lose face in front of Abao.
A Bao laughed and said, "I just opened a shell company. I'm not as good as you."
The two sat together like old friends, but their moods were different. Po was nervous and depressed, while Xuezhi's mood had slowly calmed down after the initial shock.
Although Abao is already very good now, the last thing she wants is to be outdone by him. Even if she has to rely on others, she doesn't want to be outdone by him.
"Originally I thought I would see you again after the ten-year appointment, but I didn't expect to meet you by chance during this trip to Hong Kong. It seems we are destined to be together."
A Bao looked at Xue Zhi with burning eyes. Even though several years had passed, in his eyes, Xue Zhi had not changed at all and was still as beautiful as ever.
Xuezhi said softly, "What a coincidence, you still remember the ten-year agreement."
"Of course I remember. This is the agreement we made. How could I forget? This is the sixth year, and there are still four years to go."
"Yes, there are still four years left. No one knows what will happen in the next four years."
The dishes were served soon, and A-Bao took the initiative to invite him, "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Let's eat something together."
Xuezhi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"it is good."
A Bao had countless things he wanted to say to Xuezhi, but after sitting together, he found that many of the words were speechless. Not much was said during the meal, and it seemed as if they had really just been eating.
After the meal, although Abao was reluctant, he still had to leave.
"I have some business to discuss in Hong Kong recently, so I may need to stay for a while. So I may come again. I hope I won't disturb you."
Xuezhi smiled and said, "No, I run a restaurant. You are a guest when you come to eat. Guests are God. How could I disturb you?"
A Bao looked at Xue Zhi and said, "You have become a little different."
