Chapter 230 Little Aunt
He Xiuzhu said, "Is it a bad timing for me to come here?"
This tone is even more sour than the vinegar brewed in the kitchen of Fuzhu Restaurant.
Shopkeeper Ma stood up quickly and said, "No, no, that's not the case!"
"You are the owner of the Fuzhu Restaurant, so why do you need to be particular about the timing of your visit?"
When the owner of the medicine shop, Fan Qiu, saw him coming, he laughed dryly: "Xiuzhu, I haven't seen you for a few months. You have grown taller and become more heroic."
Fan Qiu seldom flatters someone younger than her like He Xiuzhu, so it would be better for her not to praise him at this moment.
Everyone tried to smooth things over, but it only made things seem more awkward!
Jiang Lili, who was lying leisurely in the main seat, looked at the man at the door and recalled that this elegant man was the sponsor of her trip to the north coast of Haizhou Island, He Xiuzhu.
She wanted to stand up and give up her seat, but when she saw that she was peeling shrimps on her table, she paused and wiped her hands with a towel awkwardly: "Boss, don't just stand at the door, come in and sit down."
Jiang Lili regretted what she said as soon as she finished speaking. Didn't this make it seem like she was the master?
How could the shopkeeper of Fuzhu Restaurant let their big moneybag be wronged? He and He Xiuzhu have been friends for many years, and he is He Xiuzhu's cousin. He waved his hand and asked Jiang Lili to sit down steadily: "Shopkeeper Jiang, please sit down. You are the hero today, and you should take the main seat!"
He asked the waiter to add another table and serve more food, then he put his arm around He Xiuzhu's shoulders and walked in: "Sir, we'll trouble you to accompany our great hero today!"
The restaurant owner patted He Xiuzhu on the shoulder.
Great Contributor?
He Xiuzhu looked over at his usual seat, where Jiang Lili was concentrating on fighting with the shell and legs of a giant crab.
Miss Jiang has done something great?
He Xiuzhu really couldn't figure out how this girl, who was younger than him, could have achieved such a great feat.
By the way, Miss Jiang is very eloquent. Could it be that she persuaded the guests trapped in Bai'an County to invest in her business?
I'll ask you about it in detail later.
The waiter acted quickly and added a table next to Jiang Lili, so that the two of them sat on the same level, except that He Xiuzhu's table was smaller.
The restaurant owner said: "Boss, this table is a little small, but you are broad-minded, so you won't mind, right?"
He Xiuzhu patted the restaurant owner's shoulder heavily: "Now that you've said that, what else can I say? Bring me a pot of chrysanthemum tea."
He was so anxious about traveling these days that he was trying to come up with the best solution to every problem on the boat. He was so anxious that he got several blisters on his mouth.
After He Xiuzhu sat down, he got straight to the point because he was in a hurry to deal with the aftermath. He had to seize the golden time and race against time: "What is the reaction of the distinguished guests stranded in Bai'an County now? Have they been properly appeased? What do they want?"
"How much is the daily parking fee for the stranded cargo ships? I think the rain has eased now, so they should have already set sail. The delay should be shorter than I expected."
……
He Xiuzhu chattered like a worried old woman, and only after he finished talking about the issues he was worried about did he remember to ask, "By the way, what are you celebrating at the celebration banquet?"
After he finished speaking, he realized that the way people were looking at him was not right.
The atmosphere in the entire private room became extremely quiet.
The innkeeper said: "Sir, the distinguished guests have arrived at our inn and settled down. They are very satisfied with the services provided by our inn. It is also thanks to the flower tea souvenirs prepared by the innkeeper Jiang for the distinguished guests."
The wharf manager said: "The cargo ship has also set sail as scheduled. Manager Jiang has calculated the weather."
……
He Xiuzhu was stunned for a long time, "Then...then what else has not been resolved?"
All the shopkeepers shook their heads in unison: "No, big shopkeeper, the celebration banquet is to celebrate the perfect resolution of all the problems under the leadership of Shopkeeper Jiang."
The fish shop owner said bluntly: "Speaking of which, young master, why are you here?"
"Regarding the current situation on the north shore of Haizhou Island, we have already written a letter and sent a carrier pigeon to deliver the information back to the He family in Lingnan. Please rest assured."
Shopkeeper Ma speculated: "The carrier pigeon is probably the one that brought you to the He family during your days at sea. You missed the news."
He Xiuzhu saw that the shopkeepers were looking at him in confusion, and he felt like he was a superfluous person in this big family.
"It feels like you guys... don't need me anymore."
He Xiuzhu used to be full of energy when he came to Haizhou to inspect his industries, but now he became less confident when he said this.
The shopkeepers fell silent upon hearing this, and the room was instantly filled with an awkward atmosphere, as if they were saying to He Xiuzhu, "It's good that you know, Big Shopkeeper."
Jiang Lili looked at the somewhat disappointed He Xiuzhu and comforted him, "Young man, don't be discouraged. Everything has been resolved. This is a good thing!"
He Xiuzhu looked melancholy: "Forget it, I came here on my own accord..."
All these nearly ten days of deep thinking have been in vain!
"Manager Jiang, thank you for helping me solve a huge problem."
He Xiuzhu also knew how much Jiang Lili had helped: "I can never repay your kindness. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
Jiang Lili shook her head: "No, no, I've already received enough compensation this time."
The sadness on He Xiuzhu's face was replaced by shock: "What? There is actually a reward for solving such a troublesome matter? Where did you get the reward?"
Jiang Lili said naturally: "It was given by County Magistrate Huang."
He Xiuzhu's cognition was gradually refreshed: "It's good enough that County Magistrate Huang can give us money and doesn't exploit our company!"
Shopkeeper Ma, under the influence of alcohol, recounted the story of Jiang Lili's brilliant plan and the trap she set for Magistrate Huang. It was as exciting as a storyteller's tale!
Every step was beyond He Xiuzhu's expectations!
He Xiuzhu felt ashamed after hearing this. He suddenly felt that it was reasonable for him to sit at this small table. How could such a young girl set up such a treacherous scheme!
If Jiang Lili knew the doubts in He Xiuzhu's mind, she would definitely say: You will understand after watching too many anti-fraud videos and losing too much in the stock market.
The restaurant owner hadn't smiled since He Xiuzhu arrived, so he consoled her, "Don't be discouraged, Big Shopkeeper. There's a reason why Shopkeeper Jiang became your aunt."
Ah, when did the generation level get added?
He Xiuzhu recalled that in the eyes of these people, Jiang Lili had another identity: the adopted sister of his aunt, the head of the He family.
Then can't I call her aunt?
He Xiuzhu became even more depressed!
The guy is younger and more capable than me, and he also has the status of an elder. Miss Jiang is really lucky.
Jiang Lili recalled that there was something else she wanted to discuss with He Xiuzhu: "Also, I plan to set up a chicken farm in Wenchang. I will directly recruit people from the people I accepted into the farm this time. At least I have been with them for several days and know some details."
Jiang Lili told He Xiuzhu in detail about her plan to raise chickens and open an umbrella shop.
If he didn't come here once, and came again next spring, wouldn't there be more chicken farms, pig farms... all kinds of new farms and new stores built? Would Jiang Lili be able to lead him to success without him doing anything?
He was originally a little worried that if he gave Jiang Lili the highest authority, Jiang Lili would use her power to empty his company.
Now, He Xiuzhu finally understood how He Jing, a hopeless guy, managed to turn his life around. It turned out that he had found such a powerful financial supporter!
He Xiuzhu picked up a cup of chrysanthemum tea, showed his first smile of the day, and said to Jiang Lili: "Aunt, I toast you a cup!"
