Chapter 240 Spring Festival
As Li Shengli opened the shop for a longer time, the people in the yard also discovered that these people were nothing serious.

When Lee Seung-ri opened his shop, he also encountered some people who were drunk. Lee Seung-ri would usually look at the situation. If the person was easy to talk to and paid the bill, then nothing would happen. But if the person was difficult to talk to and didn't give Lee Seung-ri face, Lee Seung-ri would not tolerate them and would just beat them up.

Even if a matter like this was taken to the police station, Lee Seung-ri would be in the right, and it would only slightly affect his restaurant's business.

During the following period of time, Lee Seung-ri's restaurant was relatively stable. The well-informed gangsters knew that the owner of the Happiness Restaurant was a ruthless man. Not only did he send people to jail, but he also broke their legs before sending them to jail. Therefore, there were almost no gangsters who dared to cause trouble.

Time quickly came to the Spring Festival of 1981. After more than half a year of business, Li Shengli had already become a millionaire.

However, Li Shengli did not make a fuss. He continued to live his life as usual. And to be honest, this amount of money was only enough to buy a slightly better courtyard house.

Li Shengli has no plans to invest the money in buying a house right now, as there is still a lot of room for money needed for the subsequent expansion of his business.

It was almost the year 1982, and Li Shengli had accumulated some capital. He was just waiting to find a larger storefront to open the most fashionable restaurant in the city.

The hotel was especially busy before the New Year. Li Shengli was a little overwhelmed by being so busy, but the turnover in the past two days was much higher than before.

On the last day of the New Year, Li Shengli planned to give everyone a holiday.

"Jianjun, Guangquan, Xiaohui, Xiaomei, we'll have a holiday starting tomorrow." Li Shengli gathered the four employees in the store. Other factories and the like had year-end benefits. Although he was an individual, he couldn't be a black-hearted boss. He earned so much money, but he got to eat the meat and didn't allow others to have the soup.

"Really? Boss." The four of them were all surprised. Although the salary working in Li Shengli's restaurant was very high, there was almost no time to rest. The only difference was that the working hours were different from those in the factory.

"Of course it's true." Li Shengli smiled, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

These four people are considered regular employees of the hotel. Li Shengli stipulates that the working hours are six days a week. On the day off, Li Shengli usually asks Director Wang from the Street Office to find some temporary workers.

"That's great." After getting the confirmed news, the four of them jumped up and cheered. This holiday is paid vacation, and who wouldn't want to stay a few more days?

"Then boss, when do we start work?" Xiaohui suppressed her happy mood and asked. It was a holiday, but she didn't know how many days it would last.

"Let's go back to work on the third day of the Lunar New Year." Li Shengli thought about it. Business is booming these days, so the holiday cannot be too long.

"It's only been three days." After hearing what Li Shengli said, the four people's originally happy moods all fell.

"We are a restaurant, so we have to open a few more days while people are on holiday." Li Shengli looked at the four people in front of him unhappily, but a restaurant is not a factory. Hotels are crowded during holidays. Even if he is not so black-hearted, he cannot give up this great opportunity when there are many people on holiday.

"Don't worry, there will be overtime pay." Li Shengli looked at the four people and knew what they were thinking. Even Li Shengli, who worked like a beast of burden in the future, wanted to take a paid vacation. Who would work overtime without overtime pay?

After hearing what Li Shengli said, the four of them felt a little better.

Seeing the somewhat dissatisfied expression on the private person's face, Lee Seung-ri understood that it was all because of insufficient money.

In fact, Li Shengli didn't really want to use these knowledge. Although he had some cultural knowledge, there were a lot of things to do. However, this had troubled Director Wang so much, so he should at least give her some face and help solve a few job problems.

"Okay, be happy." Li Shengli smiled and took out four red envelopes from his pocket.

Seeing Li Shengli's actions, the four people's eyes lit up, and all the dissatisfaction on their faces disappeared. Sure enough, for these people now, there is nothing that money can't solve, if there is, just add money.

The actions of the four people who received the red envelopes increased significantly.

By evening, there were not many ingredients left from today's purchase. Looking at the empty restaurant and then at the four anxious people, Li Shengli waved his hand and officially started the holiday.

After cleaning up the restaurant and locking the door, Li Shengli rode his bike home.

"Hurry up, he's the one who broke someone's leg." Li Shengli was riding his bike when he heard this voice coming from the alley next to him.

"?" Li Shengli's heart tightened, thinking that this voice might mean that someone was planning to rob.

Li Shengli stepped on the brakes to stop the car, picked up the steel pipe tied to the car and became cautious.

Ever since Li Shengli encountered robbery for the first time, he has been carrying this steel pipe and flashlight every day.

"Hurry up." Li Shengli only heard this sentence coming from a low voice in the alley, followed by the sound of someone running.

Li Shengli put the bicycle in front of him and carefully shone the flashlight into the alley. He didn't see anyone else, only two figures running to the end of the alley.

Li Shengli breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not very scared, as the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet.

Li Shengli didn't put away the steel pipe. He just held it and looked around vigilantly while slowly walking home.

Li Shengli was cautious and vigilant all the way around, and finally returned to the courtyard. The situation outside was becoming more and more chaotic.

"Hey, Li Shengli." Just as Li Shengli pushed his bicycle into the gate of the courtyard, Li Shengli breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he relaxed, a shout came from behind.

"Fuck." This frightened Li Shengli so much that he even cursed in Chinese.

Li Shengli turned around and looked back in annoyance. Ma Jianshe just came in from the front door, and it seemed that he had just finished using the toilet.

"Please don't scare me." Li Shengli patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then shouted at Ma Jianshe in a bad mood.

"Have you just come back?" Ma Jianshe looked at the bag hanging on Li Shengli's handlebar with a gleam in his eyes.

"Yeah." Li Shengli didn't notice Ma Jianshe's eyes.

"It seems like your restaurant is doing good business." Ma Jianshe said with a sour tone.

"It's just a small amount of money, not as good as a stable job." Li Shengli said casually, "Okay, Jianshe, I'm going back."

Ma Jianshe looked at Li Shengli's back in a daze. They were all of the same age, but Li Shengli had left behind the people in the yard.
