After strolling on Changping Street for a while, he accompanied his parents to the restaurant.
Seeing that the old couple didn't say anything, but their faces were full of smiles, Li Dong was also very satisfied.
He was going to transfer this shop to his parents' name, and even Li Dong was going to transfer the shop in Dongping to his parents' name.
With these two shops, even if his parents were old in the future, they could rent them out for a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.
Starting over again in this life, Li Dong always had a faint sense of crisis.
Especially after the car accident last time, Li Dong's sense of crisis was even heavier, for fear that one day he would accidentally transmigrate again.
Now that he had a way out for his parents, Li Dong felt that the sense of crisis was a lot lighter, and the shadow in his heart was also less.
Li Dong couldn't be blamed for worrying too much. It was really too strange to be reborn in his previous life.
When he woke up, he returned to his high school days. Who knew which god was playing a joke on him. What if the god was done playing a joke on him and asked him to transmigrate again?
Taking advantage of his current ability, he could let his parents live comfortably. Even if that day really came, Li Dong would have no regrets.
After walking around, Cao Fang and Li Chengyuan were ready to go back.
Li Dong didn't force them, and let Cao Feng and Lin Meng accompany them back. Before leaving, Li Dong smiled at Lin Meng and said, "When did I not like to do insurance? It's not bad to help my parents manage the restaurant."
After Li Dong finished speaking, Lin Meng didn't react.
Li Dong didn't say much, and said, "You go back first, I will walk around again."
Lin Meng was a little absent-minded as she supported Cao Fang and left. Before leaving, she couldn't help but think about what Li Dong just said. Li Dong wants me to help his parents manage the restaurant?
…
Li Dong didn't care what Lin Meng thought.
If Lin Meng was willing, Li Dong would welcome it.
Because Lin Meng was a smart person, she had been in the insurance business for a few years, and she also had good communication skills. This kind of person might not be able to adapt to managing the restaurant in a short time, but after a long time, Li Dong believed that she would be able to do a good job.
With Lin Meng's help, Li Dong believed that his parents would be able to save a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Lin Meng had no one to rely on in Pingchuan. She was not stupid and knew what to do and what not to do. With such a person, Li Dong trusted Chen Jing more than Cao Fang.
Because Lin Meng was smart, she would weigh the pros and cons, but Chen Jing might not.
Of course, if Lin Meng wasn't willing, then Li Dong didn't mind. After all, there was no lack of smart people in this world. Cao Feng was the main reason why he took a liking to Lin Meng. If it wasn't for Cao Feng, how would Li Dong know her?
The Earth would spin without anyone. Not to mention Lin Meng, even without him, Li Dong, the Earth would still spin, not to mention Lin Meng.
He wandered aimlessly on the streets with Zhou Haidong.
The sun was shining brightly, making Li Dong feel lazy and in a better mood.
Just as Li Dong was about to turn back, he suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes.
He turned to the side and looked. When he saw the person's face clearly, Li Dong was sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him.
"Wang Jia!"
Wang Jia, who was walking hurriedly with her head down, heard someone calling her. She looked up and when she saw that it was Li Dong, a blush appeared on Wang Jia's face.
It was not that she was shy, but she felt very embarrassed.
Li Dong had helped her so much, but she did not tell Li Dong that she was returning to Pingchuan, nor did she call Li Dong. Now that she had been caught red-handed, Wang Jia wanted nothing more than to find a hole in the ground and hide in it.
After dawdling for a while, Wang Jia walked over.
When she saw Li Dong, Wang Jia said timidly, "Li Dong, what a coincidence."
Li Dong smiled faintly and said, "It's quite a coincidence. You're back?"
"Yes."
"When did you come back?"
"The end of … last year." Wang Jia's voice became even softer.
Li Dong's expression was calm as he said, "It's good that you're back. Auntie's health isn't too good. She'll have someone to take care of her."
Wang Jia raised her head and glanced at Li Dong. She knew that he was probably a little angry.
After all, she had been back for so long, but she had not told Li Dong about it. She really shouldn't have.
But Wang Jia also had her own difficulties. Every time she thought about being with Li Dong, she would feel especially nervous and did not know what to say.
It was fine in the past. At that time, even if Li Dong was rich, Wang Jia did not think too much of it because she could not ask Li Dong for help.
But after Li Dong helped her a lot, it also brought a lot of invisible pressure to Wang Jia. The pressure made her feel guilty whenever she thought of Li Dong.
So after returning at the end of last year, she had been hesitating on whether or not she should call Li Dong. Even after the new year, Wang Jia still could not make up her mind.
Who knew that, coincidentally, Li Dong would bump into such a big place in Pingchuan.
Wang Jia wanted to explain, but after thinking for a long time, she did not know what to say.
Seeing her like this, Li Dong sighed in his heart. He had a rough idea of what she was thinking.
It seemed that sometimes helping people was also a kind of pressure. He remembered that Wang Jia was very cute in the past. Every time Li Dong saw her, he would want to tease her. It was not that he liked her, but he simply felt that she was fun.
For example, when Wang Jia was angry, the angrier she was, the cuter she was.
It was a pity that she met with a family change and owed a favor. This made Wang Jia mature but also lost that childish innocence.
It was not that Li Dong liked Wang Jia very much. In fact, he did not have deep feelings for her. He just liked the way Wang Jia made faces at him when she was angry.
Although the Wang Jia back then and the Wang Jia now did not change, almost everything else had changed.
He could not find that feeling again, and this made Li Dong feel slightly disappointed.
But it was only for a moment. Li Dong quickly came back to his senses and asked with a smile, "You seem to be in a hurry. Is something the matter?"
Seeing Li Dong smile, Wang Jia breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but at the same time, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Suppressing this uncomfortable feeling, Wang Jia nodded and said, "My mother and I are living here now. My mother didn't have an appetite at noon. Now that she has woken up, she wants to eat some dumplings. I came out to buy them for her."
"Oh, you are living here now. Is it a rented house?"
"Yes, it is close to the city, the rent is cheap, and the environment is good. I am now working as a clerk in a company, and I have a salary of more than two thousand a month. Apart from the rent and my mother's medicine money, the rest is enough for us to spend. But I'm afraid the money I owe you will have to be returned later. During this time, my mother is not particularly well. I have to take care of her, so I don't have much time to do a part-time job … "
Wang Jia explained her situation in one breath, and finally said, "My mother has been wanting to thank you and treat you to a meal, but I stopped her. I know you are busy. You don't mind, right?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "Why would I mind? Just let Auntie take care of her body. Don't worry about the money. To brag, I have been standing here for half a day now, and I have earned back that bit of money you owe me. "
Wang Jia could not help but burst into laughter.
After laughing for a while, Wang Jia said softly, "Thank you, Li Dong."
"I have already said that you are welcome. I can't stand being too polite."
Wang Jia combed her hair and said after a long time, "Whether you need it or not, whether you accept this gratitude or not, I will remember the help you have given me for the rest of my life."
Li Dong smiled and did not say anything.
After a while, Li Dong said, "Go do your work. Auntie hasn't eaten yet. Don't starve."
Wang Jia did not know what else she could talk about with Li Dong, so she nodded and then said with some hesitation, "Why don't you come to my place for a chat?"
"Forget it, I have something to do later. Maybe next time if there is a chance."
"Okay, then I will leave first."
Wang Jia said as she looked at Li Dong. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and then she hurried away with her head lowered.
It was not until Wang Jia left that Li Dong sighed.
Zhou Haidong did not know why Li Dong sighed, but his experience told him that there was no need to talk now.
…
The next day, the owner of the house on Changping Avenue waited for Li Dong's family at the real estate building.
With all the certificates and the cash transfer, the purchase of the house became simple.
There was no need for Li Dong to find someone. The owner, Mr. Huang, had an acquaintance in the real estate office. The contract was signed, the money was transferred, and the transfer was completed.
It was so fast that it was hard to keep track of it.
After the contract was signed and the money was transferred, Mr. Huang realized that the house was sold. Everything happened so fast that it was like a dream.
Li Dong was not in the mood to care about what others thought. He transferred the house to his parents' name. The property certificate would be issued within three days. Other than paying, he did not have to worry about anything else.
After coming out of the real estate building, Li Dong's family of three got the key and went to Changping Avenue again.
Yesterday, the shop was someone else's. No matter how much they liked it, it was just liking it.
But after today, the house was theirs.
Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang carefully looked around the restaurant from top to bottom. The joy on their faces was obvious.
Li Chengyuan touched the old tables and chairs and said with a smile, "Three million. This is a house worth three million. I have never lived in such an expensive house in my life."
Cao Fang also laughed, but when she heard that, she said with contempt, "This house is not for living. It is for opening a restaurant. Why don't you stay here for the night?"
"Sure! This is such a big place. I can sleep wherever I want. It is more comfortable than home! "
"Yo, you're starting to despise me? Dongzi's house is not better than this? Old thing, have you been living a good life for too long? "
"Son, no matter how good the house is, can you live in it forever? When he gets married, it will be uncomfortable for you to live in the same house. It is better to live in a restaurant. " As Li Chengyuan said that, he pointed to a staircase on the second floor and said, "There is an attic upstairs. I will live there in the future."
"Are you serious?" Cao Fang was surprised.
"Of course!"
Li Dong, who had been smiling and listening to his parents, hurriedly said, "Dad, what are you talking about? It is as if I am chasing you away."
Li Chengyuan mumbled and did not say anything. Cao Fang frowned and said after a while, "We will talk about this later. Let's talk about the renovation first."
"This place is very good. It has only been renovated for a few years. Why don't we not tear it down? It will cost a lot of money to renovate. "Li Chengyuan said.
"I am not afraid of spending money. Since we are opening a new shop, of course, we have to renovate. You don't have to worry about the renovation. I will get someone to do it later. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. "
Hearing Li Dong's words, the couple no longer objected.
They had already spent more than three million yuan on the house. How much more could the renovation cost? There was no need to talk about it now.
The three stayed in the restaurant for more than an hour. When they left, Cao Fang said to Li Dong, "Dongzi, are you really going to let Xiaomeng come to the restaurant to help?"
"What did Lin Meng say?"
"She is a little tempted, but she and Xiaofeng have not …"
Li Dong understood what Cao Fang meant. He waved his hand and said, "It is fine. Don't treat her as a niece's wife. Just treat her as a hired lobby manager. Give her a higher salary later. Everything else will be according to the market. Whether she and cousin succeed in the future, we will not be affected. "
Listening to Li Dong's words, Cao Fang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
After all, there were not many people they were familiar with in Pingchuan. They could not rely on the old couple to run such a big restaurant.
Li Dong could. He had people under him, but they could not let Li Dong do everything.
If they let Li Dong do everything, there was no need for them to struggle. They might as well retire.
Cao Fang and Lin Meng had also been in contact for a while. She felt that Lin Meng treated people well.
Whether it was an acquaintance or a stranger, Lin Meng could chat with them. This kind of person should be quite suitable for a restaurant.
Cao Fang did not object. Naturally, Li Chengyuan did not object either.
Originally, he only wanted to open a small restaurant to keep himself busy. But after Li Dong made it so big, Li Chengyuan felt a little guilty.
Since Li Dong thought that Lin Meng could do it, Li Chengyuan naturally believed in his vision.
Moreover, he also had a plan. Li Dong said that he had a way out. Li Chengyuan did not think about this before, but after Li Dong said it, he took it seriously.
Li Chengyuan wanted to run the restaurant well and make the business prosperous.
At the very least, when Li Dong needed it, the old couple would not be helpless.
