Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

At the Mengli Driving School's training ground, the roar of engines rose and fell.

At this moment, Li Mengli was sitting in the driver's seat of a red Ferrari LaFerrari.

The coach sitting next to me had a middle-part hairstyle and overalls. His profile looked very much like that famous "Chicken Brother".

Li Mengli's phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a WeChat message from her younger brother, Li Menghan.

When Li Mengli saw the message, "Sister, send me Dad's phone number," she was taken aback.

She muttered to herself:

Good heavens, has this kid taken the wrong medicine? Just two days ago he was all tough as nails, determined not to spend a single penny of his dad's money, but today he's actually asking her for his dad's phone number?

Could it be that she experienced some kind of shock when she went to see Dai Yuqian today?

So she quickly replied with her fingers:

"Hey, didn't you disown our dad? Why are you now asking for his phone number? Have you changed your mind?"

On the other side, on the street.

Li Menghan was in no mood to joke around with her sister.

He looked at his phone screen and replied directly:

I need to speak with him.

But Li Mengli, with her gossipy nature, didn't care about any of that and pressed on with the question:

【What's wrong? What happened? Why the rush?】

Li Menghan hesitated for a moment before replying:

It's nothing, I just wanted to borrow some money from him.

Upon seeing this news, Li Mengli became even more excited:

[Borrow money? Why are you borrowing money from Dad? Is there something you want to buy? Or did you win Sisi back and are you planning to buy her a gift as an apology?]

Seeing these words from her sister, Li Menghan felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Try to coax him back?

They've already admitted to cheating, so how can you appease them?

He replied somewhat irritably:

"No, neither. Oh, sis, please stop asking and just give me the phone, I have an emergency."

Seeing that her younger brother was really anxious, Li Mengli stopped teasing him.

Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Here you go... 175XXXXXXXX.

After receiving that string of numbers, Li Menghan replied with "Thank you, sis."

After sending the message, Li Mengli tossed her phone aside and continued learning to drive with the handsome instructor next to her, just like a little fangirl.

Meanwhile, Li Menghan stared at the number, her finger hovering over the dial button, but she couldn't bring herself to press it.

Should he make the call or not?

What did he say on the phone? Did he say, "Dad, I want money?" That's so embarrassing to say.

After hesitating for a long time.

In the end, he exited the dial pad, opened WeChat, selected "Add Friend," and entered the number.

In the verification application section, he solemnly typed three words: Li Menghan.

After all, compared to real-time voice communication on the phone, he felt that text communication on WeChat would make him less awkward and give him some room to maneuver.

After sending it, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Once he adds her on WeChat and gets the money, he can prove to Xixi that he is capable.

Once she proves she has money, Sisi will change her mind and leave that jerk, right?

......

A few hours ago, at eight o'clock in the morning.

Li Ze arrived at his Zeran Flower Shop early in the morning.

The eldest brother is indeed reliable; he arranged the scene to be very impressive.

The whole scene didn't look like a flower shop at all; it looked more like a press conference for some international brand.

Everywhere was adorned with flowers, and a long row of flower arches stretched out.

Moreover, you can spot several international superstars just by glancing around in the crowd.

Fans like Bingbing and Taylor Swift, and even Hollywood action star Jackie Chan, were all there, serving tea and water or helping to carry flower baskets.

Strangely, besides the flower-themed posters, there were also many posters advertising cosmetic surgery for celebrities.

Li Ze was a little puzzled, wondering if he was having the opening ceremony of a flower shop or a plastic surgery company.

At this moment, the old man came over and explained things to Li Ze.

It turns out that this was a brilliant idea that Lao Yi came up with to prevent celebrities from causing disturbances.

He specifically acquired a cosmetic surgery company.

At the same time, we can get these international superstars to endorse our products. They're all celebrities we paid to hire, so why not use them?

Moreover, with this cosmetic surgery company as a front, they can advertise to the outside world that:

These people who look like superstars are actually just ordinary people who have undergone cosmetic surgery; they're just imitators.

This way, they can promote the cosmetic surgery company they just acquired.

This allows these big stars to work here openly and legitimately without causing traffic congestion due to fans crowding around them.

Kill two birds with one stone.

After listening, Li Ze couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"Old Yi, that's a really good idea. Well done, you're quick-witted."

Then Li Ze glanced at the time; it was 8:20, and there were still forty minutes until 9:00.

I might end up working at the restaurant across the street.

He was also prepared to start the opening ceremony on time at that time, to give her a big surprise.

the other side.

It's almost nine o'clock.

Zhang Ruoran drove the white Volkswagen into the underground parking lot of Han City Tiandi.

Today is the first day of business after the New Year.

But she just checked her phone's backend system and saw that the store's reservations for today were really bad.

So far, only two private rooms have been booked for lunch.

Looking at the booking schedule for the next few days, the sales figures were also dismal.

I wonder where everyone is going to eat after the New Year, and what will happen to our performance?

As a restaurant owner and store manager, Zhang Ruoran's biggest headache every day is achieving sales targets.

If the performance is poor, not only will her bonus and commission as the store manager be reduced by a lot.

Moreover, if things go wrong, you might be transferred by headquarters to a store with even worse business to fill the gaps, or even face the risk of being laid off if you fail to meet the standards for a long time.

Although she is very capable, the store she works for used to be the most successful.

But this year has been really strange; I just can't seem to get any clients.

She had just gotten out of the car, locked the door, and was about to walk towards the elevator.

Suddenly I saw a familiar figure.

Wang Cong is the store manager of the Taizixuan Xudong branch.

When she saw her colleague arrive, Ruoran naturally had to greet him.

However, she wasn't very enthusiastic; she just smiled politely.

The main reason is that Wang Cong has been pursuing her, but they haven't confessed their feelings yet; it's a one-sided love affair for him.

However, everyone within the catering group knew that Wang Cong liked her.

When Wang Cong saw Zhang Ruoran, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over, immediately saying:

"Ruoran, Happy New Year! You seem even more beautiful since you came back from the New Year holiday."

Zhang Ruoran smoothed her hair and said politely:

"No way, I'm forty years old, I'm not that pretty anymore. You, on the other hand, look great."

Wang Cong chuckled and launched into another barrage of compliments.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Cong inquired about the business at the store.

Zhang Ruoran sighed and didn't hide it:

"Don't even mention it, business is bad, I'm really worried. We only have two tables booked today."

"By the way, how's business at your shop? What brings you here on your first day back at work?"

A smug smile appeared on Wang Cong's face. He straightened his suit and tie and said:

"It's because my restaurant is so popular, all the private rooms are full. So I invited a few important clients to come and visit your place, and if possible, they can have dinner here later."

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Let me tell you a secret, they're all big bosses with huge projects under their belts. If you treat them well, their company staff will be coming to your place to host banquets all the time."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoran's eyes lit up immediately.

She was worried about her sales performance, this was a godsend.

"Really? Thank you so much, Wang Cong!" Zhang Ruoran said gratefully.

"Don't be so polite with me." Wang Cong waved his hand.

As they talked, they took the elevator to the first floor and walked towards the store entrance.

I had just arrived at the restaurant entrance.

Just as Zhang Ruoran was waiting for her manager to open the door, Wang Cong, who was standing next to her, suddenly exclaimed "Huh?"

He pointed to the opposite side and said:

"If you look, there's a new shop opening here for the New Year, it seems to be a flower shop."

"Zeran Flower Shop? That name sounds pretty good."

Upon hearing the name "Zeran," Zhang Ruoran shuddered and instinctively turned to look at him.

Ze Ran? Li Ze and Zhang Ruoran?

When she saw the stylish white and pink signboard, and Li Ze standing at the entrance of the flower shop, dressed in a sharp suit, smiling at her.

Her heart skipped a beat.

It's really him!

Just then.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A salvo of cannon fire rang out, and colorful confetti filled the air.

Accompanied by a burst of rousing music, a host holding a microphone walked to the front of the stage.

That's right, that host looks exactly like CCTV's famous anchor, Sa Beining!

The host announced loudly in that magnetic voice:

"Distinguished guests and friends! The opening ceremony of Zeran Flower Shop now officially begins!"
