Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Hu Lili quickly picked up a bright green banknote, examined it in the sunlight, and looked around but couldn't find anything wrong with it.

He then rubbed it in his hands.

"Do you think this money is fake?"

"If I remember correctly, it seems that the foreigner didn't bring enough money, so he took this money. Considering the exchange rate, he should have made quite a bit of profit."

Lu Yuan never expected that these foreigners weren't as special as they seemed, and some even didn't know the rules as well as people in China, with many unwilling to queue.

However, it was only after his strong insistence that he agreed to the matter.

Hu Lili put the money on the table, looked at it for a while, and then said...

"It's about 20,000 in total, but how do we get this one US dollar bill?"

"I'm keeping it for you; after all, it's the first dollar you've ever received."

That dollar bill was worth five dollars, which, according to the exchange rate at the time, would be worth at least several tens of dollars, so keeping it was quite meaningful.

Hu Li is actually still a minor. If he were a few years older, he might be arrested.

However, upon hearing this, she was immediately delighted and put the money away.

She quickly realized what was happening and turned to scrutinize Lu Yuan with a critical look.

"Brother, what you mean is? We can receive it a second time?"

"You really think your brother is just giving things away for free? The people who come to the exhibition, especially that David, don't look like ordinary people."

Lu Yuan smiled and explained.

"His height and the custom-made suit he wore weren't cheap, and most importantly, he could speak Chinese, and very fluently at that, which meant he actually dealt with people in China. Someone like that wouldn't just take my things and leave."

"I thought you simply assumed he was a foreigner, which is why you gave him those things. Turns out you had more ulterior motives?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Lili finally realized what was happening and had a sudden realization.

He looked at Lu Yuan with great surprise, completely at a loss for words, only feeling that the person in front of him seemed to be exceptionally capable.

After hearing his explanation, Hu Lili thought that what she had overlooked before was quite well said, but why hadn't she thought of it before?

She sat in the chair looking somewhat dejected, her mood seemingly a little down.

"I was hoping I could be of great help to you, but now it seems I'll be a hindrance even if I don't get in the way."

"There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. I'm not asking you to do anything right now. Didn't you say you wanted to take good care of Grandpa? Start by figuring out how to become a qualified store manager."

Lu Yuan rubbed her head and said.

Strangely enough, Lu Yuan could be serious in front of Sui Tingting, but he always treated Hu Lili like a younger sister.

I always felt that she was doing a very good job.

Hu Lili patted her cheeks and spoke up.

"No, I need to work harder like Sister Tingting in the future and try to take over the store as soon as possible."

"Wait, Sister Tingting told me that she'll be in charge of the Friendship Store from now on, so where should I go?"

She paused after making her bold statement, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Lu Yuan patted her head and spoke confidently.

"Don't rush, you forgot I still need to rent your grandfather's shop. How about I take care of it for you then?"

"good!"

After leaving the exhibition, Lu Yuan first took Hu Lili home, then helped Sui Tingting pack her things before leisurely leaving.

On the way to see Sui Tingting off, she looked at Lu Yuan with some curiosity, feeling that she couldn't quite understand it.

"Boss, you seem to have so much energy. You've been busy for so long, aren't you tired?"

"Aren't you tired of running the shop here?"

Lu Yuan glanced at her and said.

Sui Tingting was also honest and said directly, "Actually, it's quite tiring. I even went to borrow a chair from Grandpa Hu so I can sit down and rest if there are no guests."

"fine."

Lu Yuan nodded, then suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, if you're free these next couple of days, could you order some raffle tickets for me? I need them."

"Shall we do it now?"

Sui Tingting was stunned for a moment when she heard this, not quite understanding what Lu Yuan meant.

Lu Yuan didn't explain, but instead asked a question.

"How are our profits going so far?"

"Things have been pretty good these past few days, staying around 15,000."

Lu Yuan was slightly surprised when he heard the answer.

Because the number was much larger than he had estimated, he thought that the number of people in the nearby neighborhoods should have decreased significantly over the next few days.

However, considering that Xijing Road was quite lively, he could understand it and simply assumed that he had overlooked this point.

If we were to open a milk tea shop, Hu Lili alone wouldn't be enough, and the shop here would also need someone in charge.

Sui Tingting walked ahead, and seeing that Lu Yuan didn't say anything, she quickly shut her mouth.

After a while, Lu Yuan finally spoke.

"In the meantime, let's hire a few more employees, about four should be enough. We can always get more if we need more later."

Lu Yuan stroked his chin and said, "The salary is three hundred a month. If you perform well in the future, there will be more bonuses. You can start recruiting."

"Shall I?"

Sui Tingting was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously pointed to herself, and quickly shrank her neck.

"Can I do it?"

"You have to do it, whether you can or not!"

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"From now on, you'll be the store manager, so you can't be thinking about managing people."

"I can manage people too, but aren't there a lot of people?"

Hearing this, Sui Tingting breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little unsure. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly spoke.

"Boss, our shop is so small, three or four people is a bit too many."

Sui Tingting had already started treating the Friendship Store as her own shop. Thinking about Lu Yuan's arrangements, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, but she was worried that Lu Yuan might not have prepared well.

Lu Yuan smiled, pointed to himself, and said.

"Who told you I was planning to open a store?"

……

As the exhibition came to a close, it gradually quieted down.

Li Huan and his staff are temporarily closing this place and will resume operations tomorrow.

After she finished what she was doing, she turned around and was surprised to find Han Guodong standing there. She quickly ran over to him.

"Director Han, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

"I've come to check on your work and ask how it's going."

Han Guodong looked at him with a smile and asked a question.

Li Huan was somewhat unhappy when the topic of the exhibition came up.

"Although the flow of people today is very large, much more than expected, most of them are locals, with a small number of people from other places and a few foreigners."
