Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Tan Shulin's reputation on Xijing Road is well-known, and Lu Yuan is quite confident in his actions.

He was confident that his arrangements would be successful.

When Lu Yuan was about to leave, he came to the first floor and found grooves made by ink lines on the wall, indicating that he planned to prepare the lines in advance.

He noticed that of the six sockets he had originally planned, only three remained. At first, he thought he had misread it, but when he went over to take a closer look, he realized that it was indeed completely different from what he had initially said.

"Xiao Yuan, let me explain. I've actually renovated a restaurant before, and we really don't need that many sockets. Besides, your wiring is a bit wasteful."

He knew that doing so might displease Lu Yuan.

However, Tan Shulin's thoughts were not so complicated. He simply didn't want Lu Yuan to waste money on this, and preferred to spend as little money as possible or even not at all.

It was for this reason that Lu Yuan was willing to let Tan Shulin work here, but this also led to a small problem.

In Tan Shulin's eyes, Lu Yuan was first and foremost a junior, and only then his benefactor, which led him to always try to make decisions for Lu Yuan in ways he thought were best.

This was something Lu Yuan didn't need at all. Looking at the scene before him, he rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Brother Tan, didn't we agree beforehand? How can you just arbitrarily change my design?"

"I didn't make any random changes. This is all based on my experience. I know you know a lot, but you haven't done as much renovation work as I have. I'm doing this for your own good."

Tan Shulin was afraid that Lu Yuan wouldn't believe his judgment, so he quickly spoke up to explain a few more words, and even raised his hand to show Lu Yuan that he really hadn't done anything unnecessary.

Lu Yuan looked at the person in front of him, opened his mouth to think for a moment, and then began to speak.

"Stop! I know what you want to say to me, but after all, I own this shop."

"This milk tea shop isn't a restaurant. I'll need to install two induction cookers, and then I'll need to install air conditioners, freezers, ice makers, and several other machines. Six plugs might not even be enough."

Lu Yuan wasn't angry. He knew that Tan Shulin really cared about this matter, which was why he said that. He chose to patiently explain to the person in front of him.

Hearing this, Tan Shulin was a little stunned and shook his head repeatedly.

"There are so many things to consider when opening a bubble tea shop? I thought it was similar to a restaurant, but it turns out there's such a big difference!"

"That's right."

Lu Yuan smiled and continued, "That's how doing business is. Opening a supermarket and opening a milk tea shop are worlds apart. You can't just rely on your own experience to make decisions."

"So it really is my fault. Xiao Yuan, could you take another look and see if there's anything else I've done wrong?"

"OK!"

Lu Yuan nodded and spoke with a smile.

This is his own shop, so without going into too much detail, he definitely needs to put in extra effort.

After some investigation, Lu Yuan did indeed discover a problem.

"Brother Tan, regarding the ceiling, I suggest you install a light steel keel on it. That way, you can just drop things on it directly, which will save you a lot of trouble. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with later."

"Wow, that's something I didn't expect."

Upon hearing this, Tan Shulin wiped the sweat from his forehead. He began to doubt himself, wondering how he could be outmatched by even an amateur.

Lu Yuan remained calm, and he felt that Lu Yuan was indeed quite knowledgeable. His abilities were not like those of a shop owner at all; he was even more insightful than him, an old worker.

Tan Shulin admired him greatly: "Xiao Yuan, it would be great if you were willing to work for me."

"Uncle Tan, please stop talking. If my shop doesn't make money, I'll have to come after you."

Lu Yuan said jokingly.

This made Tan Shulin a little embarrassed, and after they chatted for a while longer, Lu Yuan finally left.

As soon as he stepped out of the breakfast shop, he saw Grandpa Hu watching people play chess.

Grandpa Hu couldn't hide his smile at all these days, treating him like his new grandson. Upon seeing Lu Yuan, he immediately said...

"Xiao Yuan, why did you suddenly come to check on things? You're so busy, just leave the shop matters to me, don't worry about it."

"I just came to take a look."

Lu Yuan didn't mention that he had given advice on the renovation. Given Grandpa Hu's style, if he found out about it, he would most likely come looking for him.

He might have to argue with himself to get him to restore the renovations.

Lu Yuan had also made an agreement with Tan Shulin that this matter would remain a secret between the two of them and would not be told to Grandpa Hu. He would also bear any additional losses incurred.

Grandpa Hu rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with joy.

"You're so busy all the time, how could I let you look after things here? Just relax, leave the rest to me."

"By the way, sir, don't just watch them play chess here. Remember to treat Tan Shu and the others to a meal. Here's the money."

Lu Yuan slapped his forehead and said.

Grandpa Hu should know this about social etiquette. He was just worried that the restaurant Grandpa Hu had chosen might not be very good. He thought it would be better to treat Tan Shulin and the others to a nice meal so they would work harder.

These are some of the things that are assumed to be done by those who dare to renovate; only by doing these things will the renovation team pay more attention.

Grandpa Hu waved his hand repeatedly, refusing to accept his money.

"You don't need to worry about this, so you can rest assured."

"Um."

Lu Yuan didn't say much, wanting to continue chatting with Grandpa Hu.

Not only that, but some sounds came from inside Xijing Road. Dozens of people were gathered in one place, as if they were waiting for something.

Although Grandpa Hu is old, his eyesight is excellent. He doesn't have presbyopia, nor even nearsightedness.

"Xiao Yuan, don't waste your time here. There are so many people waiting in front of your shop. Don't keep them waiting too long. Hurry up and open the door."

"Okay, then I'll be going, Uncle Hu."

Lu Yuan was a little worried, so he gave the instructions again before leaving.

Looking at those people from afar, Lu Yuan felt very happy.

These customers all arrived early in the morning, wanting to buy things from him to visit relatives and friends as gifts, which also meant that his store's reputation had spread.

This is fantastic news!

What Lu Yuan found a little strange was that in the past, these people would line up at the store entrance, and no one wanted to let the later people buy first, but now they seemed to just be crowding around the store entrance.
