Chapter 56(1/2)
Everyone stared at the chicken that Jin Debiao held with his chopsticks until he put it in his mouth.
“Not bad, really good! Authentic local chicken, authentic Songling white chicken!”
After eating a piece of chicken, Jin Debiao was full of praise.
Several people took off their chopsticks one after another, and half of the plate of local chicken was gone in an instant.
Li Xiangxiang watched everyone enjoying their meal and picked up the wine glass.
“Dear leaders, welcome to my shop!
You are the most respectable people in our town, and you think so highly of me,
I've finished this cup, leaders, you can do whatever you want."
Everyone clinked glasses with Li Xiangxiang.
Li Xiangxiang was very proud and drank a steel cup of wine in one breath.
Lightning dazzling point:
"Boss Boss, did you bring your own wine?"
Li Xiangxiang smiled sheepishly.
"That's the wine I brewed myself...I can't take advantage of your high-end wine."
Lei Guangyao took Li Xiangxiang's cup and filled it directly.
"Come on, drink up this glass of Wuliangye! I wish you a prosperous business!"
Lei Xiang suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
Li Xiangxiang went even further. Holding the wine glass, she took a step back solemnly, giving a ninety-degree gift.
"Thank you, leader, for thinking so highly of me! I'll finish this cup!"
She didn't say much, but she could hear the gratitude coming from Li Xiangxiang's heart.
In an instant, Li Xiangxiang drank all the wine in the glass.
Lei Guangyao also drank the wine in his glass.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yongjie also picked up the cup.
"Madam boss, it's not easy for you to run a small restaurant so well at such a young age!"
Li Xiangxiang shook her head in embarrassment.
"I'm not young anymore. I'm thirty-nine years old."
Cheng Yongjie is nearly fifty, and thirty-nine is certainly young for him.
"Thirty-nine is the right year, a woman's second spring!"
Cheng Yongjie clinked with Li Xiangxiang and drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Li Xiangxiang raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
He Yilin quickly filled the two of them with wine.
Jin Debiao also picked up his wine glass.
"Male and female match, you can drink without getting drunk! With such a beautiful boss lady drinking with you tonight, it seems that no one can get drunk!"
Kim Deok-pyo, who is usually serious and casual, shocked everyone when he spoke.
All eyes turned to him involuntarily.
Lei Xiang thought to himself that if it weren't for tonight's banquet, he really wouldn't be able to see the other side of Jin Debiao.
In fact, men are all the same, they are all visual animals.
Cheng Yongjie spoke directly.
"I've been working in Songling for several years, but I haven't found such a beautiful boss lady.
Your restaurant shouldn’t have been open for long, right?”
He Yilin replied:
“Sister Xiangxiang’s restaurant has just opened less than a year ago, and Sister Xiangxiang’s husband used to own a trading company.
After she died of illness, Sister Xiangxiang took over the company, but it was poorly managed and went bankrupt..."
Several men looked at Li Xiangxiang with sympathy.
"I have no experience in running a company. I think it would be no problem to open a small restaurant. After all, I still have to support my daughter."
Li Xiangxiang smiled helplessly.
Lei Guangyao said:
“Your food is good and not expensive!
It’s almost the same as our canteen, we’ll treat your place as a canteen when the time comes!”
Li Xiangxiang excitedly picked up the wine glass.
"Thank you, leader, for giving me such face. I don't even know what to say..."
Cheng Yongjie smiled.
"No need to say anything, we come to your place to eat and prepare the food."
Li Xiangxiang blurted out:
"Thank you, Brother Cheng!"
Several people opened fire on Cheng Yongjie at the same time, saying that he picked up a beautiful sister during a meal.
Li Xiangxiang was also very happy and took turns toasting.
"I have to go see how the chef is doing with the dishes. I'll come over and drink with you later."
Cheng Yongjie was a little hard to leave.
"The master has his own rules for cooking. Do you still need your wife to guide you?"
Li Xiangxiang smiled and said:
"In order to save labor money, there is only one chef in the kitchen, so I have to go over and help him.
Being too busy will also affect the quality of his cooking!"
Cheng Yongjie said in understanding, waved his hand and said to go quickly.
Watching Li Xiangxiang leave, Cheng Yongjie sighed.
“It’s not easy for a woman to support a family!
Although the food is good, the store is too small and customers don't want to come in.
Especially for people from our unit, there isn’t even a private room, so it’s very inconvenient in the lobby.”
Lei Guangyao looked around the hall.
"Yes, her store should be doubled in size and have two private rooms. The business will definitely be great."
Lei Xiang shook his head: "She just said that the company went bankrupt and all the money was lost. It must be very difficult for her to rent this small storefront."
Cheng Yongjie thought for a while.
"Isn't there an empty store next to her? We can invest in letting her rent it.
I just made a rough calculation and found that one hundred thousand yuan would be enough to renovate and rent the storefront."
Lei Xiang was startled. He thought of the private sugar factory shares Tian Fusheng had taken and the private sugar factory invested by his brother.
Jin Debiao looked at Cheng Yongjie seriously.
"Director Cheng, it's understandable that you feel pity for the boss's wife. If you say investment, who dares?
Do you dare? What if it fails?"
Everyone looked at Cheng Yongjie in unison.
Lei Xiang and Lei Guangyao looked at each other, but neither said a word.
Cheng Yongjie said disdainfully:
"Chief Jin, it seems you have never invested in or done business!
It’s obvious that this small restaurant can make money!
Plus, it's run by a boss, so there's no chance it will go down the drain.
Besides, it’s hard to say whether the landlady is willing to invest in us.”
Jin Debiao smiled and shook his head.
"Director Cheng, how much money can such a small restaurant make?
I'm the boss lady and I don't want you to invest, just come over and help my business!"
Cheng Yongjie chuckled.
"Chief Jin, you're right, I just had a casual chat.
