Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Li Mingliang is doing well in the steel rolling mill. Although Hu Chengyu no longer works there, he was somewhat connected with Li Huaide because of Hu Chengyu. However, Director Yang would not give him a hard time just because of this.

In fact, after Li Mingliang's father came back two years ago, he has been doing very well in the factory.

However, although the factory is stable enough now, the steel mill is not worried about unsold products and wage arrears.

But he didn't earn much. Just then, Hu Chengyu found Li Mingliang and asked him to come to the hot pot restaurant to help him. His salary more than doubled.

After considering for a few days, Li Mingliang gave his job to his brother-in-law and followed Hu Chengyu to Shuxianglou.

And Zhongshan did have a lot of things happen this year, but he didn't even know about it.

After hearing what Hu Chengyu said, Zhong Shan smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Chengyu, ask Aunt Li if the hot pot restaurant's building is for sale. Let's buy it. If there are houses for sale nearby, we can buy them too. Even if we don't need them right now, we can rent them out later."

Hu Chengyu sighed.

"Zhongshan, we bought this house a long time ago, have you thought about it?"

"what?"

Well, after Hu Chengyu mentioned it, Zhong Shan actually remembered it, but he was busy at the time and didn't pay much attention to it, so he let Hu Chengyu do it.

Now Zhongshan finally understands the trouble of not knowing how many houses he owns, although he still doesn't have many houses.

"Okay, I remember now. I've been so busy lately that I forgot some of the things I was doing.

Keep an eye on the houses next door. If the price is right, buy them all.”

This time, Hu Chengyu did not continue to tease Zhong Shan and nodded.

"I'll keep an eye on it. Why did you buy so many houses?"

Zhong Shan didn’t know either. If it was for future appreciation, maybe, but it wasn’t absolute.

In the end, the housing prices in the old city were indeed high, but he had no intention of selling it, so whether it appreciated in value or not had little to do with him.

If I have to say it, it might be because of a sense of security. A house represents home. After all, Zhongshan is an outsider. Although he has now fully integrated into this era, he has a home, money, a wife, children, many relatives and friends, and is very happy.

But the lack of security is not so easy to change.

Zhongshan traveled alone to this era, and together with his predecessor, he was the only one left. This feeling of insecurity was already ingrained in his bones and was not so easy to change.

Zhong Shan chatted with Hu Chengyu for a while, then looked at Li Mingliang and suddenly something came to his mind.

"Mingliang, you said you were under Lao Hu's command when you were in the steel mill. Now that you are out, you are still under his command. What's the point? I also have a restaurant. How about you go there? You can give it a try. If you can adapt, I will let you run it."

Before Li Mingliang could speak, Hu Chengyu shouted out immediately.

"Zhongshan, there's no one like you. You don't come here for a second normally, but when you come, you poach people from my place. How can you be a boss like this?"

But having said that, we can't really stop Li Mingliang from having it. Li Mingliang can only be given a normal salary if he needs it, and at most a little bonus, and no more. After all, he can still tell the difference between public and private.

If he went to Zhongshan, it would be different. Although I don't know whether he would get dividends like Hu Chengyu does now, it would at least be better than what he has now.

We can't just stand in the way and prevent people from making progress.

After Hu Chengyu finished complaining to Zhong Shan, he turned around and said to Li Mingliang.

"Mingliang, why don't you give it a try? Although restaurants are different from hot pot restaurants, you have been in charge of this place for the past few months, so you have some experience. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"This……"

It has to be said that Li Mingliang was moved.

However, Zhong Shan did not plan to take people away right away. Two days later, Lou Xiao'e was describing the appearance of the Hong Kong Island Clothing Store to the construction team and was preparing to renovate it.

On the other hand, we recruit waiters.

Perhaps Lou Xiao'e and her two generals were really destined to be together. The first group of people recruited by the clothing store were Xiaodang and Huaihua from Qin Huairu's family in the courtyard.

After Lou Xiao'e came back, the two girls had a good relationship with Aunt Lou who came back from Hong Kong Island. In Lou Xiao'e's early years, when she was still living in the courtyard, she thought that there was something wrong with her and she could not have children, so she liked these two girls very much. After she came back, she was also closer to these two generals.

Zhong Shan did not say anything about this.

Zhong Shan didn't have a very good impression of the two girls, but it's not that he disliked them that much. After all, they were just two little girls, just two children.

And when the restaurant first opened, Qin Huairu also helped a lot.

People say Banggeng is an ungrateful person, but actually Banggeng is not that bad. Although he is not a good person, he is not a heinous person either, except that he is a little bit twisted.

But these two girls are really scheming, and whoever gives you milk is your mother. When Banggeng was a child, he stole things, and it can be said that it was these two little girls who instigated him behind the scenes.

Whenever they felt greedy, they would instigate Banggeng to steal food from He Yuzhu's house. In the end, they would eat the food. If the truth was revealed, there was still Banggeng to back them up. Especially Huaihua, she had instigated Banggeng to steal things many times.

Of course, the plot changed later. After Jia Zhang died, the Jia family became the Qin family, and the family conditions improved. The green tea attributes of these two girls were not fully developed.

However, Lou Xiao'e is rich, and these two girls don't have any bad intentions. They just want to make her life better. Coupled with a little admiration for the strong, Lou Xiao'e gains some emotional value, and these two girls improve their lives. This combination is suitable. After all, they are all people in the courtyard, and they know their background, which is much better than outsiders.

Zhong Shan didn't worry too much about Lou Xiao'e and let her deal with it on her own. Zhong Shan brought Li Mingliang to Jufulou in the compound.

Zhong Shan was much more familiar with this place than Shuxianglou, and he knew all the waiters. After entering the restaurant, Zhong Shan found Gao Yue who was doing something there.

"Gao Yue, I've brought someone to you. I'm telling you, I poached him from another store. You have to take good care of him. When you bring him out, you can go to Pengcheng to find Yuemin."

After Gao Yue heard this, a smile appeared on her round face.

"Really? Brother Zhong, you finally did something human. No, no, you did a good thing. No, that's not right. Anyway, don't worry, I will take good care of you."

Gao Yue was almost trying to stab Zhong Shan in the past few days. The two of them were originally getting along well, but Zhong Shan suddenly separated them by more than 2,000 kilometers.

It's just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Zhongshan is the Queen Mother of the West. With a hairpin, she and Zhong Yuemin are separated by a line, and they cannot meet each other.
