Chapter 10

This summer is the fourth summer since Lu Anze left Chuancheng Hotel.The weather is not very hot. In July, showers from time to time bring a touch of coolness, and the refreshing scent of grass after the rain lingers in the air.

Yu Lanlan came to do a summer job again.

She has become thinner and more elegant, wearing white sandals, and a floral dress bought on Taobao that outlines the girl's curves, such a youthful and pure existence, without those expensive decorations, is already so beautiful that Lu Anze is a little scared.

In front of Yu Lanlan, he always has low self-esteem, maintains his distance as the boss and dare not relax at all.

***

Lu Anze travels between the three stores every day.

There is a shortcut from the 3rd store to the 1st store on Qingyang Road. It passes through the densely populated old town, and it is a not-so-wide branch road.

On Branch Road, there is a boiler factory building that has been abandoned for many years, lying like a giant in the overgrown area of ​​the community, and it has become the last trouble that the leaders don't bother to think about.

He saw that there was an open space in front of the factory and a large yard in the back, where a lot of cars could be parked.The surrounding residents are rich and the flow of people gathers, which is very suitable for building a big restaurant and organizing banquets and the like.

After careful consideration, he talked to Xing Li. Xing Li said that she believed in his vision and asked him about how much money he would invest.

Lu Anze said: The decoration alone costs about 800 million.

Xing Li asked: What about buying a factory building?

Lu Anze said: about 400 million.

He expressed his thoughts: He asked Xing Li if he could discuss with Mayor Liu that he would give him the factory building first, and he would pay off the purchase of the factory building in two years.

Anyway, the rotten factory building is not only worthless, but also hinders the appearance of the city.

Xing Li asked: "How much can you pay for the decoration and renovation costs?"

Lu Anze said: "I only have 100 million yuan in hand now, but I can go to your bank for a mortgage loan of 300 million yuan when I get the factory building. In this way, you pay 400 million yuan and I pay 400 million yuan. As the manager and operator, the landlord takes more Ten shares, you get forty, I get sixty."

Xing Li said, "You know how to do business." After thinking about it, she did have some spare cash on hand, and had lost a lot in stock trading before, so it might as well be a career to invest in restaurants.Look at today's marriage, full moon, catch up with the week, enter a higher school, thank the teacher, and the annual meeting. If you don't go to a restaurant to hold it, you can make a lot of money in it.So she agreed: "I don't have time to take care of it. You take care of everything. I'm only responsible for checking the accounts and dividends."

"Okay," Lu Anze agreed.

As expected, Deputy Mayor Liu was obedient to Xing Li, and soon the factory was taken down. 400 million, requiring Lu Anze to pay it off in two years.

Land uses a factory building mortgage loan of 300 million, and the operation is empty-handed and white-wolf.

In the second half of the year, he devoted himself completely to the restaurant business. In addition to fighting with the engineering team and decoration team, he had to socialize with the Environmental Protection Bureau, Sanitation Bureau, police station, catering management department, street, etc. every day, singing and drinking every night. Excessive drinking.Sometimes he wondered if he threw himself into this vortex of people and things because he didn't want to think about Yu Lanlan.

Time flies, and there were many happy events before the Spring Festival that year.

The first thing is that Gao Hu, the chef of the Qingyang Road store, got married.The short, dark Gaohu has captured the heart of Yingzi, a tall front desk cashier, with a set of mortgaged commercial housing at the subway entrance and a monthly salary of 10000 yuan.

The day before the wedding, Gao Hu came to Lu Anze and said, "Boss Lu, I can see that my brother and brother will not get drunk."

After the Sichuan restaurant closed early that night, Gao Hu brought out a plate of peanuts and Lu Anze opened a bottle of Erguotou.

"This wine is still strong." Gao Hu toasted Lu Anze glass by glass. "If it weren't for you, brother, I wouldn't be able to make it today." Gao Hu said while drinking, his eyes became foggy: "Hey, I am too bitter, you rich second generations don't understand the suffering of us from the countryside, it is too bitter Yes, moving bricks at the construction site, working ten hours a day." Gao Hu took out two greasy index fingers and made a sign of the cross together.Then he said: "Look at my skin, it used to be as fair as yours. I peeled off layer after layer in the summer on the construction site, and it became mutated and became African, hehe." Gao Hu smiled wryly and continued. After drinking a cup: "We came from the countryside, relying on our own strength, we can only grit our teeth and work hard, otherwise we won't have the money to buy a house, which girl will follow you."

Lu Anze also respected Gao Hu: "Without Brother Hu, our store wouldn't be where it is today."He told Gao Hu: "I also came from the countryside. I am poor and white, and now I still have millions of debts hanging on my head. You are better than me."

Gao Hu looked at him, patted Lu Anze on the shoulder, and confided vaguely: "I, marry Yingzi because she is a woman who lives a life. But, I tell you, you have to keep this word for me. But, if you want to talk about love, I still love that Lifang who rubs her feet, hey. It’s rare to love her. But I can’t marry a bitch and go home to have a baby. I can’t marry, but I still love her. I think about her every day, and I want to sleep with her. Hehehehe".

The two drank until three o'clock before resting.Gao Hu carefully lined up with Lu Anze and counted all the wronged and loved women he had suffered in the past 30 years.It seems to end an old self and start a new stage.Lu Anze listened, envious of the man in front of him who could tell his thoughts and past to others at will.He himself would never be able to do this.

The second happy event is the opening of Tongxi Building.The three-story well-decorated restaurant set off firecrackers and fireworks on the day of Gao Hu's wedding. The wedding banquet was the first time that Tongxilou held a banquet.Yu Lanlan also came that day. Yu Lanlan was wearing an apricot-yellow padded jacket, blue quilted jeans, loose hair, an apricot-yellow headband on her head, and a flushed face. When she was laying down the blanket, she even cried with a blissful expression on her face.

Lu Anze sat at the guest seat, always looking for Yu Lanlan through the crowd with his eyes, but he didn't dare to look at her presumptuously.
