Liu Yibo wanted to hold a full moon banquet for his son, so he dragged Li He and the others to discuss where to hold the banquet.
Meng Jianguo said, "Four Seas it is. You know that their food is pretty good. "
Liu Yibo chuckled. "But the price is enough to give me a heart attack. They even dare to sell a plate of braised pork for 11 yuan. I can't afford it. "
He still owed Li He money. The couple had been living frugally, and even with their parents' help, they did not have much money left. He did not dare to pretend to be a fool at a restaurant like Four Seas.
Mu Yan said, "I'm worried that you don't have enough money. I'll pay you for the manuscript tonight."
Liu Yibo's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile, "How much is it?"
In fact, he had long regretted not joining them. If he had joined them like Meng Jianguo, he would have been able to get at least tens of thousands of yuan a year, and he would not be in such a tight spot like he was now.
Mu Yan calculated in his heart before saying, "About 20,000 yuan."
Other than being controlled by Yang Ling this year, which made him feel suffocated, everything else had been going well for him. In particular, the teaching books were in short supply, and they were making a lot of money. Li He's printing factory was basically opened for his family, and he did not have the time to take on other businesses.
The director of the printing factory was very troubled by the lack of customers, and he was in a hurry to expand the printing workshop and add more printing equipment.
Liu Yibo's wife, Jiang Yan, heard Mu Yan's words and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She interrupted, "How about Four Seas? Originally, a full moon banquet is not a big deal. We planned to only invite some close family members, but some colleagues and friends will remember it and insist on coming. If the place is too small, it will not look good. "
Since his wife had expressed her opinion, Liu Yibo could not object. He nodded and said, "Four Seas it is then."
His gaze then drifted to Li He.
Li He smiled and said, "I'll be in charge of booking a place for you."
"That's it?" Liu Yibo put on a dissatisfied look.
"You're too greedy. It's good enough that you can book a place. Don't you know how popular her business is? "Joking aside, Li He still said snappily," I'll ask her to give you a discount. "
"Thank you in advance." Liu Yibo didn't know what the relationship between Li He and the owner of the restaurant was. In short, they were very familiar with each other. Since Li He had agreed, there would definitely be no problems.
Meng Jianguo teased Liu Yibo's daughter and said with a smile, "I have reserved your daughter for my son. She will definitely be a beautiful girl in the future. "
Liu Yibo said, "Don't think about such a good thing. Are you sure you can give birth to a son? "
"What if it's a son? I'll reserve it first. Let's be in-laws. " Meng Jianguo didn't mind. His wife had just gotten pregnant, which made him very proud. He didn't necessarily think that they were really getting married, but more to show off. Look, I'm going to be a father too. I'm really going to be a father.
His marriage was originally a rough man, but he had also tasted the sweetness of it. He began to learn how to do housework at home, unwilling to let his wife tire herself out.
Many people observed from the side and felt that the difference between before and after marriage was too big. Suddenly, his wife was pregnant, and he was going to be a father. It made his heart come alive again, and he could feel the wonderful rhythm of life.
"Let's talk about it when you can give birth to a son." Liu Yibo also understood Meng Jianguo's thoughts, but he didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
On the day of the full moon, Li He had a new understanding of Liu Yibo's interpersonal relationships.
At noon, two groups of people came, both with drivers. There were three cars parked in front of the big red flag, and two of them were Jeeps. The Jeep joint venture factory did not give up on the joint venture because of Li He, and their model had already been taken off the production line.
Li He didn't know the specifics, and it wasn't something he could get involved in.
The original plan of three tables became five tables. The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and Liu Yibo was very busy.
According to Li He's experience, these guests were not low-level. It should be known that in his circle of classmates, Wang Hui was the only one who was a driver. And Wang Hui was the one who was doing the best out of all the people he knew.
There were a few people who looked familiar, and he had seen a lot of news broadcasts. He almost wanted to go over and get familiar with them, but he gave up the idea. At most, he would give them a smile for Liu Yibo's sake. It was basically impossible to get close to them.
Liu Yibo and the others were all seniors, and they had a wide network that Li He couldn't compare with. When he was a teaching assistant, the resources that Mu Yan and Meng Jianguo used made Li He speechless. They didn't have any setbacks at all. Whether it was the ministries or the municipal committee, he had a large circle of acquaintances.
What left the deepest impression on Li He was a reckless young man who once went to Jiang Yan's hospital and pestered her. Liu Yibo thought that he was a scholar, and he tried to reason with the young man, but he said, "Look, this is my wife, and she already has a boyfriend. Don't come here again. There are so many good girls in the world, and there is no need to hang yourself here." The young man just didn't know what was going on. He acted like he was the number one, and said that he wanted to kill Liu Yibo.
Liu Yibo, who had a good temper, couldn't bear it anymore. He and Mu Yan beat the young man until his eyes were swollen. Of course, the young man's father wouldn't be happy and wanted to make trouble for Liu Yibo and Mu Yan. However, when he went over to take a look, he found that the two of them were drinking with his immediate superior. In the end, he didn't even dare to say anything. If he couldn't afford to offend them, he would just hide.
Therefore, Li He couldn't accept it. They were all teachers, but why was there such a big gap between them?
Seeing Liu Yibo chatting and laughing with these people, he would be lying if he said he wasn't jealous.
But he could only comfort himself. No matter how powerful you are, you still owe me money!
When Liu Yibo's father-in-law saw that so many officials were giving his son-in-law face, he was very happy and became a bit more docile towards Liu Yibo.
Even his two brothers-in-law, who were fierce to Liu Yibo before, spoke softly to him. Liu Yibo didn't expect that it would have such an effect.
When it was time to pay, Zhou Ping got Li He's permission, and she only charged him the cost. She smiled and said, "200 yuan."
"So cheap?" Liu Yibo couldn't believe it.
Zhou Ping smiled and said, "You are a frequent customer of my house, and you have been taking care of my business. 200 yuan will be enough. "
"300 yuan." Liu Yibo insisted. He couldn't take such a big favor for no reason. One should know that there were two bottles of Maotai on the table, and the price of a bottle of Maotai had risen to 40 to 50 yuan, and there was no supply.
Seeing that the two of them were in a deadlock, Li He smiled and said, "300 yuan then."
