He suggested to Li Fucheng that they could pay for the Old Madam's birthday celebration at the Four Seas Hotel.
Li Fucheng hesitated, "How much would that cost?"
He wasn't afraid of spending money. As long as he had it in his hands, he was willing to spend it. However, he definitely didn't have that much money. The money was in his grandmother's hands and he definitely couldn't waste it. Hence, he wasn't willing to spend his grandson's money.
"Grandpa, to tell you the truth, I'm also in partnership with someone else. Frankly speaking, I have a share too. Even if I spend money, it will still end up in my pocket. Do you understand? "In order to make the old man feel at ease, Li He had to be more straightforward.
"It's really yours?" It was the first time Li Fucheng heard Li He say that. Even though he knew that his grandson wasn't lacking in money, he definitely didn't expect him to have such a big hotel.
Li Long said, "It's not like you haven't seen my hotel in the county. I can even manage it well. Isn't it normal for Brother to manage it?"
"Will it be troublesome?" Li Fucheng still didn't pay attention.
Li He replied, "It's not troublesome. You can discuss it with Old Madam and Chen Bao Guo. As long as they agree, I'll handle the rest. You don't have to worry about it."
"Yeah, Old Master, don't worry. I'm here. I guarantee that it'll be done beautifully. There won't be any mistakes." Zhao Zunian encouraged him.
"The boss of the hotel has already spoken. What are you still worried about?" Li He pointed at Zhao Zunian and then smiled at Li Fucheng. "As long as Old Madam is happy, anything can be discussed. Let's make it a lively one."
"Then I'll go and ask Old Madam." Li Fucheng was finally moved.
Li He said, "Then I'll go with you."
His motive was to support Li Fucheng so that Li Fucheng wouldn't come for nothing. Then, even if he went back, he would have done something and he would feel more at ease.
When Chen Bao Guo heard Li Fucheng's words, his brows furrowed.
"You'll handle it?"
He was first shocked, then a little unhappy.
Li Fucheng chuckled and said, "That's right, we haven't done our best for Ah Niang in the past. This time, give us a chance. We'll handle it and pay for all the expenses."
"You guys still don't understand things," Sun Jianfen said lightly. "Celebrating a birthday is a good thing. Don't cause trouble for Big Brother."
"No …" Li Fucheng was about to say something, but his hand was pressed down by Li He. He looked at Li He in confusion.
Li He looked at Sun Jianfen and said, "What are your concerns? What kind of trouble will it bring to Uncle Chen? "
Li Fucheng lowered his head and realized that Sun Jianfen wasn't referring to him, but Chen Baoguo.
He was obviously thinking too highly of himself, which made him very ashamed. When he looked at Sun Jianfen's eyes again, it was as if she was mocking him. He wanted nothing more than to find a hole to hide in!
Sun Jianshe said, "What we mean is to simply have two tables at home, invite our relatives and friends, and have a good time with the elderly. If we do it in the hotel, it's not that we can't, but it's not suitable. Big Brother and I are both cadres. If we make too much noise, it won't be good for us.
If it entered the eyes of those with ulterior motives, they would not know how to fabricate it.
If you didn't know better, you would think that us two brothers are trying to make money … "
"Second Brother …" Chen Baoguo stopped Sun Jianshe from continuing.
Li Fucheng said, "If we do it in our name, it shouldn't affect you, right?"
He asked cautiously.
"In name? In what name? You have to be famous first, "Sun Jianfen said bluntly." This isn't the countryside. Do you think it's as simple as a pig slaughtering banquet? "
"What about my name?" Li Long was angry!
It's not like he had never attended the weddings and funerals of city and county leaders!
Don't be so unreasonable!
Did he really think that he was a big deal?
To be honest, no one would take such a thing seriously!
However, he couldn't stop them from using this as an excuse to deliberately make life difficult for the Li family.
"Long Zi." Li He didn't want Li Long to continue. Although he was the one who suggested the banquet, it didn't matter to him whether it was successful or not.
Sun Jianfen smiled and said, "It's fine. I know you guys do some business and have some money. However, some things can't be solved with money. It's better to take it easy. A few years ago, there were some arrogant people. What a pity. "
She didn't finish her sentence, but the threat was self-evident.
"Little money? Then what is big money in your eyes? " Li Long risked being scolded by his brother and snorted coldly. "Who gave you the confidence to look down on others?"
"What?" Sun Jianfen was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect Li Long to dare to talk to her like this.
"Stop talking." Li Fucheng pulled Li Long to the side.
Li Long was afraid that Li Fucheng would be put in a difficult position, so he didn't dare to say more.
Chen Baoguo suddenly said to Li He, "I heard from Mingjing that you guys met once?"
Li He nodded. "It's been a while."
"Oh." Chen Baoguo asked again, "One of your sisters runs a shop there?"
Li Fucheng answered, "That's your grandniece. She's the eldest daughter of my third brother's family. Her name is Li Yan."
"They're all pretty good." Chen Baoguo said something that didn't make sense.
Since Chen Baoguo, Sun Jianshe, and the others didn't want the Li family to fork out more than half of the money for the restaurant, Li Fucheng went along with it.
On the day of the birthday, Old Madam Jiang could no longer get up. After her serious illness, it was difficult for her to even move a step. She was either in bed or in a wheelchair all day, but she was still extremely happy.
She liked the liveliness of the young people.
Until now, the happiest thing was that her eldest son was by her side. She always held Li Fucheng's hand and said that it was worth it to kick him. As a woman, she couldn't help but be happy and proud of having four generations under the same roof.
What she regretted the most was that she didn't have the chance to hug the Li family's great-grandson.
Li Fucheng could only comfort her that he would bring him over the next time he came, but he knew very well that Old Madam Jiang wouldn't be able to wait for him to come again.
The Li family, the Sun family, and the Chen family, old and young, more than twenty people, surrounded Old Madam Jiang and took a family portrait with their mother as their blood relation.
After Li Fucheng accompanied Old Madam Jiang alone, he gave her fifty thousand yuan, rubbed his red and swollen eyes and left.
On the way back, Li Fucheng was unhappy.
Li He coaxed him like he was coaxing a child, "Come back at the end of the year, okay?"
"Sigh, can she hold on?" Li Fucheng looked out the window and sighed.
Everyone knew that Old Madam Jiang didn't have much time left and was almost at the end of her tether.
As the car passed by the city, Li He didn't rush back. He only said to Li Long, "Send me home first. I still have something to do here."
Li Long said, "Stay at my place for a night. Yesterday, Meizi said that she wanted to buy you some clothes. She said that you have a big frame and it's not easy to buy clothes. You have to try them on."
Li Fucheng shook his head, "You're already so old. Why are you still being so naughty? Send me to the bus station and I'll take the bus back myself."
"Let's go to the county first." Li Long didn't say anything else. After saying goodbye to Li He, he left with Li Hui and the others.
After his brother and the others left, Li He threw the marked map to Zhang Bing and asked him to drive. He ran to the back seat to sleep.
When he opened his eyes, he hugged his arms and felt a little cold. He was woken up by the cold.
The car stopped at the curb, but Zhang Bing wasn't in the car.
He opened the door and got out of the car. The sunlight was a little dazzling, so he quickly blocked it with his hand.
Zhang Bing was smoking and drinking soda in front of a small shop. When he saw Li He get out of the car, he quickly handed him a bottle of soda. "Drink some. It's quite hot."
"What time is it?" Li He wasn't picky. He took the soda and drank it. It was more important to quench his thirst first.
"Around 11 o 'clock." Zhang Bing looked at his watch.
Li He was surprised, "I slept for more than two hours?"
When they reached the city, it was only around 9 o 'clock.
Zhang Bing nodded, "You woke up too early in the morning. I guess you didn't sleep well, so I didn't wake you because you were sleeping soundly. Why? Do you want to eat something?"
Rubbing his face with both hands to wake himself up, Li He asked, "How far are we from here?"
Zhang Bing pointed at the corner and said, "Turn left and you'll reach the factory gate."
Li He said, "You've worked hard these few days. Have a good lunch and find a place to rest."
"What about you?" Zhang Bing asked.
Li He said, "I'll go take a look at the factory myself. You don't have to follow me. Leave your phone here. I'll call you when I leave."
"But …" While Zhang Bing was struggling to make a decision, Li He had disappeared.
He was helpless!
If something really happened, he really didn't know how to explain it!
If Li He was easy to serve, he was extremely easy to serve. He was approachable and didn't put on airs!
The hardest part about him was that Li He was too willful and didn't take himself seriously!
Even if he didn't have eight or ten bodyguards, he couldn't just bring one with him!
Sometimes, he and Dong Hao didn't know what to do!
When they reached the factory gate, Li He noticed the changes in the factory. First, the factory's name had changed. It used to be called the Convenience Meat Factory, but now it was called the Food Factory.
The original push and pull iron gate followed the trend and was changed to a remote-controlled electronic retractable gate. Large trucks came in and out from time to time.
Just as he was strolling in, he heard a reprimand.
"Hey, it's you. What are you doing?" An old man came out from the guard room and looked at Li He with a look of distrust.
Li He smiled and said, "I've been to your factory before. Don't you remember me?"
The old man said, "We're a big company. There are many people here. How can I remember them all? Who are you?"
Li He said, "I'm looking for your Director Ye."
"You're here for business?" The old man asked.
"Are there many business contacts?" Li He asked.
The old man said proudly, "Our factory's ham is delicious. Adults and children alike like it. It's sold well all over the country. There are many people waiting in line to deliver the goods. I advise you to come back later. The factory doesn't have enough goods. It's useless to look for Director Ye. She can't make the goods appear."
Li He said, "Then I'll go in and look for her."
He didn't expect the ham factory to be so popular.
This was not what he had expected.
"You're so stubborn. You don't even listen to good words?" The old man looked at Li He from the corner of his eyes.
Li He smiled and said, "Give me a call. Just say my name is Li He and ask if Director Ye is willing to see me."
"What? What did you say your name was?" The old man suddenly stared at him and asked.
"Li He," he repeated.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Stop talking so much nonsense." The old man said impatiently, "Director Ye has already told me that if there's anyone with this name in the future, I can go in directly."
"Thank you." Li He walked towards the factory's office building.
When he found the director's office, he found that the door was unlocked. He hesitated whether to push the door open or not. However, the door was pushed open by another girl who hurriedly trotted over.
He saw Ye Zhi sitting at her desk and then stood at the door and looked at her with a smile.
The girl went in and whispered a few words. When Ye Zhi raised her head, she suddenly saw Li He leaning against the door and smoking.
"Why are you here?" Ye Zhi hurriedly stood up and walked around the girl. She went in front of Li He and was a little bewildered.
The girl, however, was stunned.
Was this the resolute and decisive CEO Ye with a hint of ferocity?
Why is he acting like a little girl?
She thought she was seeing things!
"Why can't I come?" Li He entered the office and looked here and there, looking very casual.
"The documents are here. You can go out. After you look at them, I'll sign them," Ye Zhi said to the girl with a straight face.
"Yes." When the girl went out, she looked at Li He curiously.
Ye Zhi turned around and said to Li He, "I'll pour you some tea."
"No need, I just drank it." Li He stopped her. "I heard that you guys are doing well now? You can't even meet the demand? "
Ye Zhi said, "It's all because of your good ideas. You said that ham sausages can be made into ready-to-eat food, can be eaten after it's opened, and can be roasted, fried, stir-fried, and of course, there are all kinds of flavors you mentioned. Corn flavor, spicy flavor, cumin flavor …"
She went on and on.
Li He gave her a thumbs up and said, "You're really capable. I just mentioned it casually. Even if I did it myself, I wouldn't be as good as you."
Of course, the most important thing was that the market for ham sausages was vast!
A ham sausage, no matter if it was thin and small, or short and fat and sturdy, was born as a ham sausage, it was destined to have a simple and versatile life.
It could be added when eating instant noodles, pretending to be nutritious.
It could also be added when eating fruit pancakes, making it a lot more fulfilling in one's hand.
It could even be used with stir-fried dishes …
Ye Zhi said seriously, "Don't be modest. For example, when you reminded me that I could do TV commercials, I thought about it. The most famous one was Central TV, so I went to Central TV and the advertising fee was five million a year! I thought Mr. Qi Hua wouldn't approve the money, but in the end, he did. "
"You went to Central TV?" Li He was a little stunned. He didn't expect this woman to be so bold. Then he said, "Work harder, and you can fight to be the king of the bid."
"Don't make fun of me. The advertising fee of the king of the bid is hundreds of millions. Our small factory can't afford it in just a few seconds. Our factory's revenue this year is less than 20 million." Ye Zhi quickly shook her head, and then asked, "You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go eat something?"
"That's what I want." Li He patted his belly, indicating that he was very hungry.
