Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

"Brother, you're still laughing at me! I'm not bringing you food anymore!"

Once the trade fair starts, it basically won't stop, so one of Lu Yuan and Hu Lili has to go out to buy food.

I've eaten at Hu Lili's house a lot since I was a child. Back then, every time I went to school, I had to go to Uncle Hu's house to buy a braised egg.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan quickly raised his hands to admit his mistake.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I won't laugh at you anymore."

What would you like to eat?

Hu Lili then slightly shook her head, temporarily bypassing Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Just make a bowl of rice. Don't even think about making braised pork trotter rice. It's good to have a change of pace every now and then."

As he spoke, he took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to her.

Hu Lili immediately shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, I have money."

"How can that be? I'm your brother."

Lu Yuan shook his head repeatedly, saying that this matter was absolutely unacceptable.

To everyone's surprise, Hu Lili's eyes lit up, and she turned and walked outside, casually touching her pocket as she went.

"I've received a lot of care from you and Sister Tingting these past few days, so it's no big deal for me to treat you to a meal. But don't think I'm stingy with money later."

Lu Yuan chuckled but didn't say anything.

When he was the only one left at the booth, Lu Yuan didn't sit idle. Taking advantage of the absence of others, he took out the goods from the glass cabinet and made some replacements.

Then, he took the mop and thoroughly mopped the floor.

A restaurant owner must strive for a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste. The first thing he needs to do when opening a business is to make others feel that the products are clean and comfortable.

"This place is quite interesting; it's a bit different from the ones I've seen abroad before."

Just then, a man's voice rang out.

Next came a somewhat familiar female voice: "I know this place; it's a place owned by a friend of mine."

"Your friend?"

The man paused, then looked around carefully.

"Huanhuan, shall we go somewhere else? It's lunchtime now, and I know a Western restaurant that makes pretty good steaks."

"Wait a minute, I'll say hello to him."

Li Huan spoke first.

Lu Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and the first thing he saw was Li Huan, who was wearing black high heels and a white dress.

Already tall and curvaceous, she seemed to have dressed up specially for this moment. Her swan-like white neck contrasted sharply with her long, jet-black hair, which was quite unexpected.

Behind him stood a man who was about 1.75 meters tall. The man's gaze was not on Lu Yuan, but he unconsciously looked around.

He was wearing a rather expensive suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and a side-parted hairstyle, making him look exceptionally stylish.

As he walked into the display case, he looked around with a slightly arrogant gaze, shook his head slightly, and said something.

"Chocolate? I'm tired of eating that many things abroad."

"If you're surnamed Qi and don't want to wait, you can leave first. There's no need for you to be so annoying."

Li Huan suddenly spoke up.

Qi Qiang, who was initially a little unhappy, quickly put on a fawning smile after hearing this: "Huanhuan, you know that's not what I meant. I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean it on purpose."

"Please don't mind him, he's a childhood friend of mine."

Li Huan knew that Lu Yuan had been listening to these words, so he quickly apologized.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Lu Yuan said it was nothing serious, but what made him a little curious was who Li Huan was, since this guy surnamed Qi seemed to be a returnee from overseas.

Although he had never met anyone who had studied abroad, he could tell from this guy's appearance that he was obviously an arrogant person.

Seeing that he really didn't care, Li Huan was very happy and spoke up.

"By the way, I actually wanted to try your stuff last time. How much do these things cost? Do you only accept large orders now?"

"So, Miss Li is looking for something in the tens of thousands of yuan range?"

Lu Yuan chuckled and asked.

"It won't cost tens of thousands of yuan, but I'd like to try all these things."

Girls are very interested in things with pretty packaging, and this applies to these things as well. So when she saw Lu Yuan's things, she became interested.

"Just give me a little bit of the same thing."

"OK!"

Lu Yuan nodded and took out some goods that he had prepared in advance from the cabinet.

Looking at the packaging, Li Huan suddenly remembered the newspaper he had seen before. Looking at the items here, he paused for a moment and said...

"Wait a minute, that shop I saw in the newspaper before, could it be yours?"

"Um."

"I've always wanted to go, and now it's so convenient."

Li Huan spoke with a smile.

"You can let me know when you want to come. Even if you don't have time, you can still let me know."

Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised to hear this. Clearly, the newspaper had been very effective. He was already considering whether to find a way to create another news story to hype it up.

While he was pondering, he was unaware that Qi Qiang's expression had become somewhat strange.

He approached Li Huan and extended his hand with a condescending tone.

"Hello, my name is Qi Qiang, and I'm Huanhuan's friend."

"Hello, my name is Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan only glanced at him, completely ignoring his deliberate act of calling out Huanhuan's name.

Isn't it just a matter of asserting sovereignty?

However, the two did not seem to have a very close relationship, which made his behavior a bit strange.

Qi Qiang liking Li Huan is none of his business, Lu Yuan's business.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then handed the item to Li Huan and said with a smile.

"Consider these things a gift from me. Anyway, the main purpose of the trade fair is to showcase products. Whether we make money or not doesn't matter. But next time you buy something, I won't give you a discount."

"That won't do!"

Li Huan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly took out his money.

Qi Qiang, standing to the side, pulled out two ten-yuan bills from his pocket and said in an arrogant tone.

"It's just a few bags of snacks, keep the change."

"I said it was a gift."

Lu Yuan didn't even go to see Qi Qiang.

It wasn't that he lacked manners; as a businessman, he knew all too well how to be kind to others.

However, this friendliness is based on respect, and emphasizes mutual respect.

But if you don't respect me, then I don't need to respect you either. I'm not being a fool to offer my face to someone to trample on.

So when he heard Qi Qiang's attitude, he completely ignored him and turned to fiddle with the ice cream machine.

Lu Yuan's actions also caused Qi Qiang's face to darken.
