Chapter 300 Lou Xiao'e's Thanks
After instructing Xiaomei, Li Shengli took the five people to the second floor and came to the empty box.

"Boss?" Lou Xiao'e glanced at Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun with a half-smile. These two people were quite secretive. She only now realized that Li Shengli was already a small boss. Although his business was not as big as hers, it was still considered pretty good in the mainland.

"Small business." Li Shengli smiled and nodded at Lou Xiao'e. This amount was nothing. Compared with those chain restaurants and some other food factories in later generations, it was just a small business.

"You two are such a jerk." Lou Xiao'e smiled and couldn't help but think of Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun's bikes, which were the bikes they had ridden for so long. "When I saw the bikes you were riding, I thought you were still working in the factory."

Li Shengli was quite satisfied with Lou Xiao'e's reaction. As for why Li Shengli did not change his means of transportation, it was because there was really no need. Li Shengli was no longer at the age where he would show off when he got good things, and his bicycle had been with him for nearly 20 years. To be honest, Li Shengli had developed feelings for his bicycle.

"Originally, I was thinking of investing some money in you so that you could open a big restaurant, but I didn't expect that you would open it by yourself." Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that there would be someone in this courtyard with such a long-term vision and go into business so early.

"Can I go for a tour?" Lou Xiao'e thought about it and decided to go out and take a look to see how this hotel was different from the ones she had seen in Hong Kong.

"Of course. Do you need Qiuyun and I to come with you?" Li Shengli put one hand behind his back and made a gesture of invitation with the other hand. There was nothing shameful about this restaurant. Even if Lou Xiaoe wanted to poach people, there was nothing he could do because the head chef of this restaurant was both his senior brother and the owner of the restaurant.

"That's not necessary. You just need to help look after the kids. I'm just going to go down and take a look at the layout of your restaurant." Lou Xiao'e was just planning to take a look at the decoration of this restaurant. Other things could not be seen just by looking at the surface, not to mention that people were generally not allowed to enter the kitchen.

"Yunan, play here with your sister for a while. I'll be back soon." Lou Xiao'e said to her child again.

Li Shengli called a waitress over and asked her to take Lou Xiao'e around the hotel. As long as it was not confidential, Lou Xiao'e could tell her anything if she asked. There was nothing to hide.

"Shengli, what do you think Lou Xiao'e is planning to do?" Han Qiuyun looked at the three children who were playing and came up to Li Shengli and asked in a low voice.

"I guess half of them are to thank us for our previous reminder, and the other half is that they want to invest here because the development prospects here are better." Li Shengli also leaned close to Han Qiuyun's ear and whispered.

"Then what should we do? We don't need her to repay us. We just didn't have the heart to mention it before." Han Qiuyun didn't want to accept Lou Xiaoe's investment. Han Qiuyun thought that he didn't do anything good and didn't deserve such an expensive gift from Lou Xiaoe. It takes a lot of money to open a restaurant now. Lou Xiaoe planned to give Li Shengli some shares, and Han Qiuyun felt that these things were very hot.

"We would feel bad if we don't accept Lou Xiao'e's gift. How about this, we ask Lou Xiao'e to send us some Hong Kong specialties, and then this matter will be over." Li Shengli came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds. He didn't want Lou Xiao'e's things, and Hong Kong had many new and interesting things that were not available on the mainland.

"This is a good idea." Han Qiuyun nodded in agreement. Han Qiuyun would always feel uneasy if Lou Xiaoe gave her money or things. If it was just some rare and ordinary things, Han Qiuyun could still accept it.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e came back from visiting outside.

"Li Shengli, your restaurant is great."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm in partnership with someone." Li Shengli was not complacent. This restaurant was nothing to him. "By the way, Lou Xiaoe, why did you want to come back to Beijing? Aren't you living well in Hong Kong?"

Li Shengli was indeed very curious about Lou Xiaoe's purpose. According to Li Shengli's understanding, there should be nothing in this compound worth her staying. Could it be that she came back for revenge?
"It's nothing. Now I have taken over part of my family's business. I wanted to come back and take a look. Mainly, I wanted to thank you and your wife for tipping me off before." Lou Xiao'e stated the purpose of her return to Sijiu City. "I want to bring the child back and give Xu Damao another blow. Let him know that it's his own fault, not my inability to have children. I have to get rid of all the anger I suffered before this time." "Also, I plan to invest and develop in the mainland. My father has always been thinking about when to come back, but unfortunately he has no chance." Lou Xiao'e felt sad when mentioning her father.

"Oh, I see. You've already written a letter of thanks, so we don't need to do that." Han Qiuyun was a kind person and didn't intend to let Lou Xiao'e spend any more money.

It was Lou Xiao'e and Han Qiuyun, one of them insisted on thanking the other, while the other had already thanked her. The two of them pushed the other back and forth, leaving the three children confused.

"Okay, okay, stop refusing. Let me give you a suggestion." Li Shengli had discussed this with Han Qiuyun before, and this time the main purpose was to reject Lou Xiaoe.

After hearing what Li Shengli said, Lou Xiao'e turned around and stared at Li Shengli to see if he had any good ideas.

"It's not okay for you to push the issue back and forth like this, Lou Xiao'e. We are reminding you because we really can't stand Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong. This is just a trivial matter." Seeing Lou Xiao'e open her mouth to speak, Li Shengli quickly stretched out a hand to stop Lou Xiao'e, and motioned for Lou Xiao'e to listen to him finish his words.

"Well, if you don't repay us, you will feel unhappy. If we accept your things, we will also feel uncomfortable. So, I have a suggestion. Lou Xiao'e, you can send my children some books and other things suitable for their age after you return to Hong Kong." Li Shengli looked at Han Qiuyun and then at Lou Xiao'e. "In this way, these inexpensive but meaningful things can express your gratitude and make Qiuyun and I feel more at ease. What do you think?"

Han Qiuyun nodded in agreement. Books, whether extracurricular or professional, are beneficial to her three children. For a mother, children are the most important. Although Lou Xiao'e thought that these things were too insignificant to express her gratitude, she nodded and agreed at the insistence of Han Qiuyun and Li Shengli.

"By the way, Lou Xiao'e, are you planning to open a restaurant in Sijiu City?" Li Shengli suddenly thought of what Lou Xiao'e had said before.

"I was originally planning to open a restaurant with you, but since you've already opened this one, I'll just give up." Lou Xiao'e planned to invest in opening a restaurant because she wanted to repay Li Shengli for tipping her off. Now that Li Shengli has opened a restaurant, this is no longer necessary.

"Oh, that's a pity. I was thinking that if you were going to open a restaurant, I would introduce you to a chef." Li Shengli shook his head. He had taken away a lot of opportunities from Sha Zhu. Now Sha Zhu had no money to find a partner, so Li Shengli planned to introduce him to a job.

"Do you know any other chefs?" Lou Xiao'e became interested. This restaurant was now a sure profit, and she was also a Hong Kong businessman.

"It's He Yuzhu from our hospital." Li Shengli named the person he wanted to introduce.

"From our hospital? Who? He Yuzhu? Who is that?" Lou Xiao'e kept listening to Xu Damao calling him Sha Zhu and almost forgot Sha Zhu's real name.

"It's Xu Damao's mortal enemy Sha Zhu." Li Shengli reminded him, "This guy is a bit of a scoundrel, but his cooking skills are pretty good. He makes authentic Beijing-style Sichuan cuisine. If you want to open a restaurant, you can hire him as a chef."

"Silly Zhu? Let me think about it." Lou Xiao'e had to investigate carefully. Since Li Shengli didn't need investment, she needed to think seriously about whether she still needed to invest in opening a restaurant.
