Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Standing beside the neon lights under the night sky, Li Huan's eyes, as clear as autumn water, flashed with a hint of helplessness.

She had intended to treat Lu Yuan to dinner alone, but she never expected it to turn out like this.

Lu Yuan, completely unaware of this, said with a smile.

"They are the biggest contributors to my success today, so how could I not bring them to the celebration banquet?"

"A victory celebration banquet?"

Li Huan gently rubbed his forehead, finally understanding why things had turned out this way.

This made him even more curious about Lu Yuan.

"Someone like you probably doesn't have a girlfriend."

How did you know?

Lu Yuan turned his head to look at her.

It was just a casual remark, but unexpectedly, it came true. Li Huan looked at him with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"How come no one is interested in a guy as outstanding as you?"

"Am I good enough?"

Lu Yuan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"I'm just a pig standing on the edge of the storm. How can I be considered excellent? Just a few days ago, I was still guarding my little shop. I can't compare to you."

"Your description is so bizarre. If you're a pig, then what are all those people at the trade fair?"

Li Huan didn't say the second half of the sentence, but he said it out loud.

Aren't they even worse than pigs?

Keep in mind that the exhibition lasted for three days, but there weren't many things that could truly attract foreigners.

The only place willing to spend money, or even consider investing, is in Luyuan. As for other places...

It's just that those foreigners are going out and thinking of bringing back some gifts as a souvenir.

Lu Yuan had no idea how Li Huan viewed him, and he offered a brief explanation of his own words.

"Actually, I'm just an ordinary person. What kind of food do you like to eat?"

"Anything works!"

Li Huan said with a smile.

Lu Yuan stroked his chin and sighed in a deliberately profound manner.

"According to girls' psychology, generally speaking, anything is fine, as long as it's a cuisine that just matches his taste."

"Where did you hear these fallacies?"

Li Huan was both amused and exasperated by these words and chimed in from the side.

At that moment, Hu Lili and Sui Tingting stopped in front of a rather large hotel.

The neon lights on both sides are colorful and look very expensive.

"I wish we could eat here sometime."

Sui Tingting said with a hint of envy.

Hu Lili, who was standing next to her, poked her head and teased her with a smile.

"Wouldn't one meal cost a month's salary?"

"This is it."

After glancing at it, Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Li Huan was somewhat taken aback and quickly stopped him.

"Isn't this a bit too expensive? It's too much of a waste of your money to come all this way. How about we go somewhere else?"

"Just relax and eat. Leave the rest to me."

Lu Yuan looked at the three people and explained.

"I'm also quite curious whether big hotels are different from small hotels."

This Sheng Hai Restaurant is indeed different from the pork trotter rice stalls on the street. As soon as you enter, a waiter opens the door. The floor is covered with tiles that reflect your image, and a waiter greets you with a smile.

"Welcome to Shenghai Hotel. Would you like to dine on the first floor or the second floor? The first floor is the main hall, and the second floor has private rooms."

"Let's go to the first floor."

Lu Yuan originally wanted to go to the second floor, but seeing that the people around him looked a little nervous, he smiled and said...

They sat down by the window, and Lu Yuan picked up the menu and handed it to Li Huan.

"Let's see what you'd like to eat."

Li Huan opened it and looked at it, a somewhat troubled expression on his face. He then closed it again.

"I don't really want anything to eat. How about we go somewhere else?"

"I'll do it."

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly. He understood what the other person meant. It wasn't that he didn't like to eat anything; he just didn't want him to spend too much money.

"Braised carp, braised sea cucumber with scallions, some blanched vegetables, and a beef soup."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The waiter nodded with a smile.

After the waiter left, Li Huan looked at him with some concern.

"I just checked, even a cup of jasmine tea costs ten yuan here. Do you have too much money to burn?"

"So expensive!"

After hearing this, Hu Lili felt a little regretful. She wished she hadn't brought it up herself.

"I want to eat."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

At his insistence, the others stopped saying anything more.

Li Huan remembered something and quickly said it.

"By the way, about that government recommendation I told you about before, don't take it lightly. Get ready as soon as possible, it's a great opportunity."

"Don't worry, I've already figured out what to do."

Lu Yuan said with a smile that he had been preparing for the opening of the store and the new employees for a long time.

If he happens to receive government support, he can save himself a lot of worry.

"How much money can you actually make? Why do you seem so unconcerned?"

Li Huan looked at him with some surprise, not quite understanding.

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"I don't earn much money, maybe a few thousand a month."

He naturally wouldn't reveal the real number; this number is the correct one for a normal business.

It might even be a bit too high.

This number, which seemed rather unfavorable to Lu Yuan, was quite surprising to Li Huan, who was unsure how to respond to it.

"No, they can earn several thousand a month, that's a year's salary for most people."

"By the way, where do you get all the stuff in your shop? I've never seen it anywhere else. And what made you decide to open a shop in the first place?"

Li Huan felt that she was becoming increasingly unfamiliar with the person in front of her, which was so different from what she had imagined. She quickly asked a question.

"I mainly got this opportunity because a friend helped me; otherwise, I wouldn't have the confidence to sit here."

Lu Yuan said.

He himself didn't think he was anything special.

Sui Tingting, standing to the side, had stars in her eyes and quickly spoke up.

"The boss is really impressive now."

"That's right, my brother is very capable; I'm definitely not as good as him!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Lili nodded repeatedly, indicating that she was no match for him.

"I think you seem to really enjoy this, do you really like running a shop?"

Li Huan asked curiously, showing some interest in Lu Yuan.

"I hadn't thought about that."

Lu Yuan was taken aback by the question. He hadn't really thought about it, but hearing him say that made him realize it was something that had been overlooked.

However, his own perspective on the matter was completely different.

"At first, I just wanted to give it a try. I never thought I could stick with it, nor did I expect to be able to participate in the exhibition and meet friends like you. I guess this is my luck."
