Chapter 298 Suppressed by Senior

September 5th, Saturday.

Usually at this time, Lin Xiufeng would sleep in and wake up slowly around nine o'clock.

He says he drives a truck now, but actually, because of the job arranged by a relative, he doesn't have much work on weekdays, and he has weekends off, so he's actually quite free.

With a salary of a few thousand yuan a month, the relatives are very respectful to me.

Lin Xiufeng is a contented person.

Without any goals in life, he can just go with the flow, as long as he has food and drink and can survive, and he doesn't care too much about the quality of life.

Especially now that he lives in the house that his parents bought for him a long time ago in the south of Yinjiang District. He has no pressure of mortgage, is not married or has children, and spends all his salary on himself.

In fact, if he doesn't smoke or drink often, he can't spend all the few thousand dollars a month.

His few hobbies are playing games and driving.

The most luxurious configuration in his home is the latest model computer installed in the bedroom, but he does not spend money to play games. He usually only plays single-player games. He can play for a long time by buying a genuine version, and he does not spend more than a few hundred dollars a month.

As for another big hobby…

Lin Xiufeng got up and washed his face. After returning to the living room, he looked at the poster on the wall, which was a picture of a car.

There is a column of numbers written next to it.

From the initial 5097 to the bottom, it has been updated to the latest number - 125790.

Well, it was the money he saved for the car.

Once he saves 20 yuan, he plans to buy himself a new car. This is also the reason why he insists on selling fried rice every night after he recently set a new goal.

Otherwise, with a salary of several thousand yuan a month, Lin Xiufeng would not be bothered to go to work late at night.

When there is a specific goal, Lin Xiufeng's execution ability becomes particularly strong, and he will never stop until the goal is achieved.

But I don't have any work to do today, so it's time to relax and rest.

Lin Xiufeng went into the kitchen to cook himself a meal, then brought it to the computer desk in the bedroom, planning to finish this brunch and then play games for the whole day.

But he suddenly remembered what Li Luo had agreed with him last night, and then he smiled helplessly.

……

Half past one in the afternoon.

Lin Xiufeng arrived at the gate of Bihai Lanting community on time. He soon saw Li Luo walking out of the community and raised his hand to greet him.

Seeing the boy smiling, Lin Xiufeng slapped Li Luo on the shoulder and asked in confusion, "You, do you have bad intentions? What do you want from me?"

"Oh, you'll find out if you follow me."

Li Luo pulled his uncle towards West Street and refused to say what the matter was.

Lin Xiufeng began to get suspicious and couldn't help but guess, "Could it be that your mother introduced me to a blind date and was afraid that I wouldn't go, so she asked you to trick me?"

"How could it be!" Li Luo said firmly upon hearing this, "What is my relationship with my mother? What is my relationship with you, uncle? How could I betray you?"

"Ha." Lin Xiufeng snorted coldly, "I'm not going to play games this Saturday to accompany you. You'd better really have something to do."

"That's for sure. It's not a blind date anyway."

Following Li Luo all the way to West Street, Lin Xiufeng became more and more confused, and had no idea where Li Luo was taking him.

Until he followed Li Luo to stop at the door of a milk tea shop, Lin Xiufeng glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, watched the man greet Li Luo with a smile, then took out two keys and walked forward to open the closed door of the milk tea shop.

"The owner of this store has already given up the lease. You said before that you could keep the equipment, and your father paid for the depreciation and everything else, so now everything in it belongs to you."

"See if there's anything wrong with it."

"If you don't have it, I'll give you this key first."

Li Luo walked around the store and asked, "Did the boss run the business himself before? I remember he had a clerk, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Do you have contact information? Then I can ask how these devices are operated."

"Then I'll ask your previous boss for you."

"Thanks."

"Little things."

After visiting the milk tea shop, the middle-aged man took Li Luo and Lin Xiufeng to the breakfast shop next door.

"According to what you said before, we don't need any tables or chairs. The previous owner disposed of them all and only kept a kitchen. See if there is any problem with that."

Li Luo walked around and after confirming that everything was OK, he took the second key from the middle-aged man.

"If there are no other problems, I'll leave first. If you have any follow-up questions, please feel free to contact me."

"Okay, thank you Uncle An Gang."

After sending off the real estate agent Li Angang, Li Luo held the two extra keys in his hand, looked at Lin Xiufeng beside him with a smile, and asked him: "Uncle, what do you think of these two stores?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiufeng was a little confused by the current situation. "You want to open a milk tea shop?"

"It's not me who wants to open it." Li Luo shook his head, then pointed at Lin Xiufeng and put the key in his hand into his uncle's hand, "It's you who want to open it."

"What the hell?" Lin Xiufeng took a half step back in bewilderment, looked at his nephew in surprise, and then couldn't help asking, "Explain clearly, what's going on?"

"I'll open a store for you." Li Luo said as a matter of course, "You've heard of industrial upgrading, right? It's not good for you to push a tricycle to set up a stall every day, so I'll give you a base to play with."

"Go away! Why are you so foolish?" Lin Xiufeng frowned and quickly declined, "Was that a rental agent? Call them back and return this shop to me. Don't spend money to rent it."

"Didn't you hear what they said?"

"The previous owner of this milk tea shop has already given up the lease. How much money can this shop make?"

"Don't spend all the money you make from writing a book. Your parents will beat you to death if they find out."

Li Luo looked at his uncle and couldn't help coughing twice after hearing what he said. Then he reminded him, "Uncle, these two stores are not rented, but bought."

After these words were spoken, Lin Xiufeng suddenly fell into silence and was unable to speak for a while.

"This way is Qianjiang University." Li Luo pointed to the back of the store, then walked out of the store and pointed to the entrance of Ningshan Tunnel, "Over there is the new subway entrance that will be built in the future."

"Across the street is the Times Tianjie commercial district that is about to be built."

"In the future, this store will be one of the hottest stores in the area, and the property price alone will at least double."

"But now... it's really quite depressed, not many people are renting it."

"Originally my parents wanted to just leave it as it is, since they were aiming to make the difference in the house price anyway."

"But I'm thinking of you, uncle."

"This shop is empty anyway, so why not renovate it for you? How about you help me open this milk tea shop?"

After hearing what Li Luo said, Lin Xiufeng nodded in understanding. He probably knew what was going on, but he still frowned and asked, "But didn't the previous milk tea shop owner run away? How can we make money from this?"

"That's different." Li Luo shook his index finger. "I don't charge you rent. Whatever you earn is yours."

The owner of the milk tea shop previously hired two employees to make milk tea, paying each of them 2000 yuan.

After deducting labor and material costs every month, the profit is only a few thousand yuan.

After paying the rent, the profit is still less than the combined salary of the two employees.

But if we don’t count employee salaries and rent, the profit is actually around ten thousand a month.

This is not the kind of milk tea shop that developed to a later stage in the previous life, where the clerks made milk tea without stopping for a moment.

This milk tea shop now sells about 10 yuan for a cup of milk tea, including the takeaway business that has just started. The cost is estimated to be a fraction of that. With a profit of more than 10,000 yuan, it only sells about 1,000 cups a month.

If you divide it up every day, you will make more than 30 cups of milk tea a day, which can be said to be an extremely easy job.

But if we really want to make back our investment by relying on this turnover of just over ten thousand, especially since we have to close the business during summer and winter vacations, the renovation fee alone will probably take us a year to earn back.

Not to mention the various other costs.

But when it comes to Lin Xiufeng, the situation is quite different.

First, you don’t have to pay rent.

Second, Li Luo was also responsible for all the decoration.

Third, making milk tea here is very leisurely and he can do it himself usually.

As a result, the business that was originally not very profitable became an easy money-making business for Lin Xiufeng.

After listening to Li Luo's detailed analysis, Lin Xiufeng was somewhat tempted. After all, this thing was definitely much easier than driving a truck.

It also doesn't prevent him from setting up a stall at the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School in the evening.

But when he thought about how much money Li Luo would have to spend on the renovation, Lin Xiufeng hesitated: "Why don't we just forget it? You also said that the subway will be connected here in the future, and after the housing prices go up, you will probably have to sell it, right? Let's not go back and forth."

Hearing his uncle say this, Li Luo burst out laughing.

"It's not certain whether it will be sold or not." Li Luo said with a smile, "Our family is not short of money now, so you can just help me manage the store. At worst, you can give me a share of the profits every month."

"Hmm..." Lin Xiufeng thought about it and realized that he still needed 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to buy a car. After hearing this, he finally nodded and agreed. "Then we will split the money earned from the milk tea shop 50-50."

"Twenty-eight." Li Luo said, "Give me twenty percent."

"That won't work, Four-Six."

"370," Li Luo said. "It's settled. We'll be renovating this place during the summer vacation. Uncle, you can come and help keep an eye on it. When Qianjiang University starts in the second half of the year, you can officially open this place."

"alright."

After finally convincing his uncle, Li Luo discussed the subsequent decoration plan with him.

After the two of them finalized the specific plan, Lin Xiufeng planned to personally find a familiar decoration team to find someone to be responsible for the decoration.

The milk tea shop here is about to get on track.

……

And just when Lin Xiufeng put some of his energy into the milk tea shop.

The time has come to June 6th.

Early in the morning.

Li Luo got up and washed, then called Ying Chanxi and asked her to go to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, and then walked into Xu Youyu's room.

"Senior, wake up, get up, let's go for a morning run together." Li Luo gently patted her face, and then said: "Today is your birthday, so be energetic."

"Ugh...you're so annoying..."

"Your mother specifically told me to wake you up for a morning run every day. If you don't get up, I'll call your aunt." Li Luo took out his cell phone and pretended to dial a call.

"and many more!"

When Xu Youyu heard this, he instantly came to his senses, sat up quickly, and reached out to grab Li Luo's cell phone.

Li Luo raised his hand and held up his phone high. Then he glanced at the screen and said with a smile, "Oh, it seems the call went through."

"Hang up quickly!" Xu Youyu was anxious. He hugged Li Luo directly, climbed on him, and reached out to grab Li Luo's mobile phone.

Li Luo was so frightened by her actions that he couldn't even stand firmly. He stumbled and fell back onto the bed with Xu Youyu.

Xu Youyu was pinned down by Li Luo and groaned, but he did not forget to snatch Li Luo's cell phone.

But when I looked carefully, I realized that the phone was not making any calls at all.

"You're kidding me, aren't you?!"

"I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously?" Li Luo supported himself on the bed with both hands and was about to get up.

As a result, Xu Youyu used a scissors kick to tightly clamp Li Luo's waist, then turned over and pressed Li Luo under him.

Then the quilt was lifted, Xu Youyu buried his head on Li Luo's shoulder, lay down and closed his eyes.

"No...what are you doing?"

"sleep."

"Then at least let me go. Why are you sleeping on me?"

"In order to stop you from waking me up, just sleep with me." Xu Youyu hugged Li Luo and muttered, "Be good, stop waking."

"You are the one...please stop messing around." Because Xu Youyu was lying down at a high position, Li Luo could see his amazing outline and ravines almost as soon as he lowered his head, which made him furious. "Xixi will not be able to find me after she finishes washing up. It will be bad if she sees me."

"I don't care. Today is my birthday. You have to listen to the birthday boy."

"In fact, you will be the birthday girl in two days. Today's birthday girl identity is fake."

"You talk too much, shut up!" Xu Youyu impatiently covered Li Luo's mouth with one hand. If you didn't know, you would think she was doing something.

Just when Li Luo was pinned down on the bed by Xu Youyu, Ying Chanxi had already finished washing up, walked out of the bathroom, and was about to go back to the bedroom to change into school uniform.

As a result, neither Li Luo nor Xu Youyu came out of the corridor, and Ying Chanxi couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Li Luo, Senior, where are you?"

Hearing the noise coming from outside, Li Luo was so scared that he immediately sat up from the bed, picked up Xu Youyu and got out of bed, then put her down and sat her down beside the bed.

After tidying up his clothes, Li Luo coughed twice and ran out of Xu Youyu's room as if escaping: "Call her to get up, but she insisted on sleeping in. Xixi, go and call her too."

"I'm up already." Xu Youyu followed Li Luo out of the bedroom in disheveled clothes, rubbing his eyes sleepily. The straps of his pajamas drooped down, revealing a large white area on his chest.

Ying Chanxi saw this beautiful scene and quickly walked to Xu Youyu and helped her put on her pajamas without letting Li Luo see: "Senior sister, go wash up quickly. I will come back this afternoon to celebrate your birthday."

Xu Youyu was pushed by Ying Chanxi into the bathroom.

Soon, the three of them were dressed and went to school with their schoolbags.

Saturday morning is self-study class.

During the last class, Kong Junxiang came to the classroom and explained some situations to everyone.

"The college entrance examination is on the 7th and 8th, but the exam will be over tomorrow afternoon on the 7th, so it won't affect our evening self-study, so everything will go on as usual. However, the afternoon make-up classes will be cancelled, so everyone doesn't need to come."

"For the 8th, classes will remain normal during the day, but there will be no bell. Everyone should also remain quiet and not make loud noises in the school to disturb the senior students."

"Especially the senior high school teaching building, which is a closed area for the college entrance examination. The library has also been temporarily requisitioned as a study area for senior high school students. No one is allowed to enter during this period."

The Affiliated No. 1 Middle School is an examination venue for the college entrance examination. Only the senior three students of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School take the exam here, so only the senior three teaching building is sealed off, which will not affect the teaching of the first and second years.

This has been the case over the years.

Li Luo originally thought that the school would be closed on Xu Youyu's birthday on the 8th. Later he found out that the Affiliated No. Middle School was different from the high school he attended in his previous life. Probably because of its remote location, the Ministry of Education did not arrange for students from other schools to take the exam here.

So it became like this.

After talking about what happened during the college entrance examination, Kong Junxiang paused and then talked about another thing.

"At the end of this month, from the 24th to the 26th, there will be final exams."

"After the exam, we will give everyone a registration form for the second-year high school subject selection."

"During this period, everyone should have talked to their parents. If there are any questions, your parents have called me many times for consultation."

"After the final exams, everyone will take the registration form home, fill out the three specific secondary subjects they want to take, and then have their parents sign it and take it back."

"Let me tell you this in advance. When you go back this week, discuss and confirm with your family. Don't wait until then to make a last-minute decision."

After he finished speaking, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.

Li Luo was packing his schoolbag and was about to go out with Yan Zhusheng to meet up with Ying Chanxi and the others when Kong Junxiang, who was sitting on the podium, came down and found Li Luo. He whispered to him, "Have you decided which three subjects you are going to choose?"

"I've thought about it." Li Luo nodded, "Physics, history, and geography."

Kong Junxiang listened carefully and then was a little surprised: "Why two liberal arts subjects?"

"I like it better." Li Luo lied.

Yan Zhusheng, who was standing next to him, heard this and immediately looked at him.

"History, geography..." Kong Junxiang pondered, and then said without any context, "That's fine, it should be possible."

"What can I do?" Li Luo asked doubtfully.

"Nothing." Kong Junxiang laughed and patted Li Luo on the shoulder. "Keep working hard in your second year of high school. The teacher is very optimistic about you."

After saying that, Kong Junxiang walked out of the classroom humming a little tune. I don’t know why he seemed quite happy.

"Why is Lao Kong so happy?" Li Luo was confused and looked at Yan Zhusheng and asked.

Yan Zhusheng tilted his head and said, "Is it because of the subjects you chose that you were assigned to Mr. Kong's class when the second year of high school was divided, so he was very happy?"

After being reminded by Yan Zhusheng, Li Luo reacted: "You are quite smart. I didn't expect that."

Yan Zhusheng nodded as if it was a matter of course.

When it comes to snatching Li Luo away, she is indeed professional, and she obviously has a lot in common with Kong Junxiang, who likes to snatch class monitor away.

I immediately understood the profound meaning of Kong Junxiang's words.

"Let's go."

After school, Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng carried their schoolbags and walked out of the classroom. Together with Xu Yinghuan, they waited at the stairs for Ying Chanxi, Qiao Xinyan, and Zhao Rongjun who had rushed down.

Then the six people went downstairs to Houde Road, where they waited for Xu Youyu, who looked very excited.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Xu Youyu hugged Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi's shoulders and jumped happily, "Let's go eat hot pot at noon, it's my treat~"

"Hotpot? That's fine too." Li Luo nodded. "Which restaurant?"

"It's the one we went to last time. It's quite close to here." Xu Youyu said, "It's the Sichuan and Chongqing hotpot restaurant."

……

Sichuan and Chongqing Hotpot. When Li Luo followed a group of people to the door of this store, his expression was a little strange.

Just when Xu Youyu was about to enter the store, he was stopped by the waiter, who told him that their store was going to close and would be out of business soon.

In the end, the boss saw the situation at the door and heard that it was the girl's birthday, so he let her in.

"We are about to close the store, and we probably won't be open in the future." The boss said while smoking a cigarette in an empty seat next to him, "There are still a lot of fresh ingredients left in the kitchen. If you want to eat, just eat more. I don't want any money. I'll just treat it as a birthday celebration for you."

Xu Youyu and others were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

Li Luo, on the other hand, had a calm expression. He just looked at his boss strangely, very curious about what had happened.

While Xu Youyu and the others were ordering food, Li Luo started chatting with the boss and got a general idea of ​​the situation.

It turned out that the landlord, who had originally agreed to lower the rent, suddenly refused to lower the rent for some unknown reason a while ago.

Li Luo was not sure whether this change had occurred in the previous life, or whether it was because Li Guohong came to buy the store that caused new changes in this life.

All in all, this Sichuan-Chongqing hotpot restaurant probably can no longer continue to operate.

I don’t know whether the landlord will sell it or not.

Li Luo was muttering to himself, and then he was caught by Xu Youyu to celebrate the birthday of the birthday boy.

After having a good meal and a few drinks at noon, Xu Youyu paid the bill before leaving, waved his hand and left with Li Luo and the others.

When we returned to Bi Hai Lan Ting, it was already around two o'clock in the afternoon.

"So you're not going to buy food?" Li Luo asked Xu Youyu who brought them back, "We still have to eat dinner, right?"

"No need." Xu Youyu waved his hand, "Let's have Pizza Hut takeout tonight. Don't waste our precious time cooking."

After hearing what Xu Youyu said, Li Luo suddenly had a bad feeling: "So...what are you going to do with this precious time?"

"It's not hide-and-seek anyway." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, then asked them to sit on the sofa. He ran back to the bedroom with great interest, took out a box of something, walked to the coffee table, slapped it, and announced loudly, "Today is my birthday, you guys play this with me~"

Li Luo looked at the coffee table with a puzzled look on his face, then said in silence: "Monopoly? That's it?"

Ying Chanxi and the others were also surprised.

I thought Xu Youyu, who was good at playing hide-and-seek, could come up with some new tricks, but it turns out he was just playing Monopoly?

"Don't question my gaming taste." Xu Youyu shook his index finger and pointed at the string of words written on the box. "Look at what this is."

Li Luo looked at it carefully with a suspicious look on his face, and then read: "Attached is the Chinese version? What does this mean?"

"Hey, open it and take a look, then you'll know." Xu Youyu smiled mysteriously, "This is something I spent a long time making."

Hearing her say this, Li Luo was startled and quickly opened the box and pulled out a map on the top.

"This..." Li Luo looked at the object in front of him, which seemed to have a strange feel. He found that it seemed to be made by Xu Youyu himself. "Classroom 20 of Grade ... credits... What is this?"

"It means you can buy it for 20 credits."

"……What?"
