Chapter 282 Xu Damao is also rich

As for Lee Seung-ri's original restaurant, Lee Seung-ri did not waste it. He hired four new people to be responsible for washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, serving dishes and cleaning the tables.

This time he didn't need a chef. He turned the restaurant into a hot pot restaurant, and every day Lee Seung-ri only had to stir-fry a big pot of hot pot soup base.

Xinyuexuan opened for business, and Li Shengli specially invited those leaders he was familiar with to attend the opening ceremony of Xinyuexuan. At this moment, the law enforcement outside was strict, so those gangsters would not come to make trouble. Li Shengli learned from the ideas of later generations and specially hired a security guard. This security guard was a retired army and had very good skills. In this way, the restaurant would not have to worry about those drunken troublemakers.

Matters in the kitchen are of course decided by Wang Zhenbang and Wang Defu. Not only are they the chefs but they are also the owners of the restaurant and no one dares to disobey their words. As for the waiters at the front, they are all from Li Shengli and Wang Zhenbang's former restaurants and are very skilled in their business. Li Shengli is even afraid that they will learn the bad habits of the people in the former state-owned restaurant, so he specially prepared an employee handbook.

As the saying goes, you have seen a pig run even if you have never eaten pork. In later life, Lee Seung-ri also ate in big restaurants and understood some of the rules of their service industry very well.

When Li Shengli opened his own Xinyuexuan, he did not invite anyone from the compound. Only Yan Bugui, based on his many years of experience in calculations and the fact that Li Shengli had been leaving home early and coming back late recently, guessed that Li Shengli was going to make some big move.

The restaurant had just opened, and Lee Seung-ri needed to be in charge of the hotel. The first few days, things like purchasing and the kitchen waiters seemed a little messy. Lee Seung-ri first ran a trial operation for a few days to let everyone get used to it so that they wouldn't be so hectic when it officially opened. After the trial operation was completed, Lee Seung-ri put up a sign outside the door, offering a 10% discount on all items for one week before the opening.

Not only that, Li Shengli also printed some flyers and hired a few temporary workers to distribute the flyers in other crowded places. This trick has been tried and tested since ancient times.

Lee Seung-ri also plans to move the membership system here in the future, but it is not very convenient now without computers, and membership cards are easy to forge.

After everything was back on track at the hotel, Lee Seung-ri stopped staying there often.

That day, Li Shengli finished his work and rode his old bicycle back to the courtyard early.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Shengli looked at his worn-out bicycle parked at the door of his house and wondered if he should change his means of transportation. He heard that the Shanghai Santana Automobile Factory had already produced cars, but the price was a bit expensive.

Li Shengli thought about the price and shook his head. There was no need for him to spend money on something that could only make him show off. He might as well buy a motorcycle with that money.

Li Shengli was looking at his bicycle when he heard the annoying voice of Xu Damao behind him.

"Hey, Li Shengli, it's already this time and you're still looking at your broken bicycle." Xu Damao, wearing a black suit and a gold tie with black patterns around his neck, came to Li Shengli arrogantly.

While Lee Seung-ri has been busy with his own restaurant recently, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong also started a business together and are said to have made a lot of money.

Li Shengli didn't say anything, he just looked at Xu Damao like a fool, "Xu Damao, you made money and now you are so proud?"
Seeing the look in Li Shengli's eyes that looked like a fool, Xu Damao immediately became unhappy: "Look, look, what is this? This is a suit, understand?"

Xu Damao looked at Li Shengli with his eyes slanted, pointed at himself with his right thumb, and shook it with a smug expression, thinking, Li Shengli, you country bumpkin, do you know what a suit is? This is something that only rich foreigners can wear.

Li Shengli burst out laughing when he saw Xu Damao's expression. Suits are so popular in the later generations that many people don't like to wear them. They feel very tight when they are worn. "Xu Damao, what kind of speculation are you doing?" Li Shengli saw Xu Damao's expression and remembered that he was dealing in rebar.

"Lee Seungri, don't talk nonsense. This is all legal business." Xu Damao was shocked by Lee Seungri's words. He thought Lee Seungri knew what he was doing.

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong's dealings in rebar cannot be considered as embezzlement of state-owned assets. What they actually did was to rely on their connections to get goods from the factory and then sell them at a higher price. To put it bluntly, this matter can be considered as speculation at best.

Xu Damao didn't dare to tease Li Shengli anymore, and went to the Central Courtyard in his suit to show off.

Li Shengli curled his lips when he saw Xu Damao who was about to start a love-hate relationship with Sha Zhu again. Logically, Qin Jingru should not have mentioned divorce to him at this time, so why did Xu Damao want to go into business?
Just when Li Shengli was wondering, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li walked in from outside the courtyard, holding something in their hands. After seeing Li Shengli, they smiled awkwardly and nodded at Li Shengli. After greeting Li Shengli, they walked towards the back.

Li Shengli felt that these two people were really ridiculous. Are they asking Sha Zhu to go back to work again?

Sha Zhu was lying on the bed at home in a depressed mood. Ever since Bang Geng was sentenced, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu had become much colder towards Sha Zhu. This made Sha Zhu feel like he was really a nobody. Not only did he leave a bad impression on Director Yang, but he also failed to get things done.

"Shazhu, Shazhu?" Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li walked into Shazhu's house, carrying things and smiling.

"Get out, get out." Sha Zhuli ignored the two of them and directly started to chase them out.

"Wait a minute, Master He, please listen to what we have to say first." Yan Jiecheng staggered after being pushed by Sha Zhu and then shouted nervously.

"Sha Zhu, what are you doing?" Qin Huairu also walked in at this time. Seeing Sha Zhu pushing Yan Jiecheng and his wife out, he couldn't help but shout. He knew what Yan Jiecheng and his wife were here for.

Seeing Qin Huairu coming over to stop him, Sha Zhu glanced at her and then lay back on the bed. To be honest, Sha Zhu was still a little angry with Qin Huairu. It was not that he did not want to save Bang Geng, but there was really no way to save him. Just like this, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu had been giving him a cold shoulder for several days.

"Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li, what brings you here for?" Qin Huairu glanced at the things Yan Jiecheng and his wife were holding.

"We are here to ask Master He to go back." Yu Li smiled apologetically to the two of them.

"Yes, Master He, as long as you are willing to come back and continue working, I will give you 2,100 yuan per person." Yan Jiecheng thought for a long time before reluctantly adding 100 yuan.

Qin Huairu was a little moved, but Sha Zhu ignored Yan Jiecheng and really thought she was being made into mud.

If Li Shengli knew how Yan Jiecheng raised the price for Sha Zhu, he would have to admire the Yan family to death. They are still scheming even at this point.
