Li Yan wanted to stay and clean up the shop. She did not want to go back with Li He.
"Are you sure you can manage such a big shop by yourself? My advice to you is to hire people first. Once you have a team, everything will be done with half the effort, "Li He said." Don't panic. "
"Yeah, I'll go find a partner now," Li Yan said and ran out.
"Hey, wait. You're going in one ear and out the other. I just told you not to panic, but you're still so impatient. If you're really in a hurry, wait until you get the keys and the account book. Also, there's the customer list, the purchase and sale contracts, and so on. "
Seeing her childish temperament, Li He felt rather helpless.
Li Yan stuck out her tongue. "I have a bad memory. Otherwise, I would have studied a long time ago."
"All the information about this shop is in the cabinet." Li Yan was so impatient that Lu Bo took the opportunity to hand her the keys. "This is the key to this room and all the cabinet doors in the house. Take them first. You can apply for a new business license for this shop. The original account has nothing to do with you. When you get the business license, we'll sign a new lease contract. So, you have a lot of things to do. Take it slow, one step at a time. If you have any difficulties, just call me. "
No matter what Li He and Lu Bo said, Li Yan nodded vigorously.
In the end, Li He said, "Ask more if you don't understand. Don't pretend to understand."
"Then I'll be fine now?" Li Yan asked before she left the shop.
Li He said, "Are you looking for your friend here? I'll get Dong Hao to send you. "
"No, no, I'll take the bus."
Li Yan ran away like a gust of wind.
Lu Bo looked at her back and said with a smile, "She's quite lively."
Li He looked at Lu Bo and said meaningfully, "Life is like a pencil that is constantly being used. It's sharp at first, but it slowly becomes smooth. However, if it's too smooth, it'll be time to be cut again. "
"Huh?" Before Lu Bo could figure out what he meant, Li He had already left.
What did he mean?
He was stunned.
Was she blaming him for being too slick?
Was he trying to curry favor too obviously?
He didn't understand!
His heart was in a state of panic.
He racked his brains to figure out what was wrong with him.
Li He didn't have the time to care about him. Let him think whatever he wanted.
At the door of the house, a man holding a snakeskin bag was swaying back and forth. From time to time, he would look at the door, but unfortunately, there was no one at home. General Tie was guarding the door.
Zhang Bing leaned against the door of the Yu Family's old house, munching on melon seeds. He just stood there and watched coldly. That person kept walking back and forth, but didn't notice him.
When he saw Li He and Dong Hao, he smiled at them.
Li He took advantage of the moment when the man wasn't paying attention to enter the Yu Family's house. He pouted at the man. "What are you doing?"
Zhang Bing shook his head. "I don't know. He's been loitering at the door for a while. I'm just here to see what he's up to."
"Keep an eye on him." Li He reminded Zhang Bing and went straight to his house. When he walked past the man, he glanced at him.
It was a man with a square face. He wasn't tall, and his face was rough. He was wearing a wrinkled gray suit that obviously didn't match his figure. He looked to be in his fifties.
Just as he was about to step into the house and take out the key to open the door, he was stopped by the man.
"Young man, may I ask if you're from this family?"
Li He nodded. "Who are you looking for?"
"Young man, my name is Yuan Lei. This is my letter of introduction." He took out a piece of paper from his greasy pocket, carefully unfolded it, and handed it to Li He.
"You're from Jizhou?" Li He took it and carefully read the handwriting on it. This letter of introduction was issued by the village to the school where He Fang used to work.
Although there were fewer and fewer places to use a letter of introduction with an ID card, it was still indispensable. Not only was it needed by individuals, but also by many enterprises. If they wanted to go out to do something, not only would they need a business license, but they would also need a letter of introduction.
However, this letter of introduction could not be completely trusted, because it could be forged.
In this day and age, one didn't need a high IQ to cheat. All one needed was courage. Even if it was to cheat in a bank, the threshold was very low. There had been people who successfully used a letter of introduction to falsely claim a bank transfer, and there were many more cases.
Moreover, forging a bank transfer certificate and the bank's declaration, encryption key, engraving a carrot stamp, and altering the amount of the bank draft were not very technical.
Yuan Lei nodded and said with a face full of smiles, "Yes, yes, I'm here to see Teacher He. May I ask if she's at home?"
"Come in and have a seat." Li He had never seen this person before, and he didn't know him. However, he didn't ask why he was looking for He Fang.
He went into the living room and made him a cup of tea.
"Ah, thank you, thank you." Yuan Lei put down the two snakeskin bags and hurriedly stood up to take them.
Li He pointed at the snakeskin bag and asked, "What's inside?"
There seemed to be something alive moving in the snakeskin bag.
"Oh, I forgot about this." Yuan Lei hurriedly put down the cup and opened the snakeskin bag, wanting to show it to Li He. "This is a chicken raised at home. I brought it here for Teacher He to have a taste. I guarantee it's better than the ones sold in the city."
"Oh, put it there first." Li He didn't know how to deal with it. It was better to wait for He Fang to come back and deal with it. After all, it was up to He Fang to decide whether to accept it or not.
The two chatted casually for a while. Then, Granny He came back with Li Yi in her arms and He Fang carrying bags of various sizes. Li He hurriedly went up to them and helped them carry the bags.
"Someone is looking for you?"
"Who?" He Fang asked curiously.
"Teacher He, don't you remember me? It's me, Yuan Lei. "Yuan Lei seemed to be at a loss as he rubbed his hands.
He Fang said with a smile, "Master Yuan, how could I forget you? When did you come? Are you here for business? "
"Yes. Oh, no. I came specially to look for you. "Yuan Lei was a little flustered.
"Look for me?" He Fang didn't understand. But then Li Yi started crying again. She hurriedly comforted her and held Li Yi in her arms. Then, she said, "Master Yuan, please sit for a while. I'll put the child to sleep."
Yuan Lei said embarrassedly, "Go on, go on."
Li He followed He Fang back to the bedroom and helped the child fold the quilt. He asked He Fang, "Why haven't I seen this person before? When did you meet him? "
He Fang said, "I know many people. How can you know all of them? The heater in our house was installed by him. I drew it and Master Yuan built it for me. Don't you remember? Back then, I made a small fortune selling radiators. "
Li He said with a smile, "Of course I remember. Otherwise, how could he have snuck into our house? "
The address of their house was rarely disclosed to the public except to their acquaintances.
He Fang went back to the central room and refilled Yuan Lei's glass of water. Then, she asked with a smile, "Master Yuan, how's your house?"
"It's fine. It's fine." Yuan Lei poured out all the things in the bag. The chickens and ducks with their claws tied were crying in the central room. "I brought these from home. Have a taste."
"Thank you." He Fang took it with a smile and then said, "Master Yuan, take a seat first. It's lunchtime. I'll cook first. You must have a drink at noon."
"No need, no need," Yuan Lei said hurriedly. "Teacher He, actually I'm here for something."
He Fang said carelessly, "Master Yuan, if there's anything, just say it. Don't stand on ceremony."
"The radiator factory is going to close." After saying that, Master Yuan was too embarrassed to look at He Fang. He lowered his head and sighed.
"Why would it close?" He Fang also picked up Li He's teacup and took a sip of tea. Then, she asked in puzzlement, "I remember that your business was very good a few years ago."
"Thanks to your guidance, I scraped together some money and opened a radiator factory in my hometown. At first, the business was very good. The supply simply couldn't meet the demand. There was a long line of people who came to deliver the goods." Yuan Lei was very embarrassed. He said listlessly, "But in a few years, more and more people started making radiators. Our radiators became unsalable. We lost money every time we sold one. It's almost winter and we can't even pay our wages. I'm fine. I'll take responsibility for my own sins. But these workers are all my relatives and acquaintances. Because of the factory, there wasn't much harvest. They trust me. But if they don't get paid at the end of the year, they won't be able to survive. That's why I'm shamelessly coming to you. "
"So you want to borrow money from me?"
He Fang seemed to understand something.
"No, that's not what I mean. Teacher He, don't misunderstand!" Yuan Lei waved his hand hurriedly.
"Then?" He Fang and Li He also looked at him.
Yuan Lei said sincerely, "Teacher He, I want you to go back and take charge of the factory. You can be the director of this factory."
"Me?" He Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How can I do that?"
"Teacher He, I, Yuan Lei, have never admired anyone! I've traveled all over the world, but the person I admire the most is you! You're cultured and skilled. I believe you're the only one who can save our factory now! " Seeing that He Fang rejected him, Yuan Lei was a little anxious. "Teacher He, when I built this factory, I reserved some shares for you. I wanted to give you a surprise when the factory was developed, but I didn't expect … things to turn out like this."
He sounded very depressed.
He was afraid that He Fang wouldn't believe him, so he quickly added, "Teacher He, I'm telling the truth. I really reserved shares for you. When we built the factory, I've said it publicly. Many people can testify to that."
"No, no, I believe you. I believe you. Don't worry." He Fang was a little amused. "Master Yuan, thank you for your trust in me. But I have two kids at home. Jizhou is so far away, I can't even take a step away."
There was no one at home who could make her feel at ease. Otherwise, she would have gone to work long ago. How could she wait until today?
"Teacher He, there are more than 300 people in our factory. We haven't paid our wages for eight months." Yuan Lei felt like crying.
