After the cured meats were sold out, it was less than a week before New Year's Eve. Lin Mo made a net profit of more than 40,000 yuan just by selling the cured meats, excluding various expenses. Enough for the loan and interest from the bank earlier, and the balance is several thousand yuan. Anyway, Han Xun said that his funds will arrive in the account one after another in the next year. With the idea of being debt-free and light-hearted, Lin Mo plans to ask Lin Hai to go with him to return the money to the bank.
The decoration of the new shop is coming to an end, and now it is only necessary to install the stove, tables and chairs, and add appliances.
Entering the store, the antique-style decoration is eye-catching. Exquisite carved windows, quaint red lacquered beams and columns, exquisite painted palace lanterns, antique and magnificent, and green potted plants beside the corner columns, It adds a bit of vitality to the thick color, which makes people feel happy.
The tables in the downstairs lobby are separated by elegant and classic wooden screens, and a square wooden plaque is hung on the screen with the table number of each table engraved on it. The private rooms on the upper floor are all divided into uniform-sized rooms with Japanese-style sliding doors. Each room can accommodate eight people. As long as the guests need it, the waiter can open the door lock and combine several small private rooms into a large private room. Each private room is equipped with air conditioners and customer service buttons. The indoor environment is extremely elegant, giving guests the best enjoyment and the most comfortable environment to the greatest extent. In the large yard at the back, a pool of more than ten square meters was built in the middle. A fountain and rockery were installed in the pool. Small goldfish with cheap tails were stocked underneath, a few water hyacinths floated, and a circle of fresh green potted plants was placed around the rockery. The antique cloister is built against the courtyard wall. More than ten plants of various flowers and trees are transplanted in front of the cloister. Scattered wooden screens divide the entire curved cloister into many seats. Every table can just enjoy the beautiful scenery in the courtyard. With the closed environment of private rooms, the courtyard looks more pleasant.
It is gratifying to see the results, but when thinking about the whole process of renovation, Lin Hai and his subordinates almost wish to die. In order to achieve the retro effect that Lin Mo wanted, he asked the experts and professors in Jincheng University through his relationship, and it took a lot of effort to find a carpenter who can make these antique objects. He broke his leg! After working hard for two months, he lost more than ten catties. Fortunately, Lin Mo and Han Xun trusted him, and they prepaid all his project budget before the start of work. Later, when the money ran out, they gave him another sum of money. Otherwise, just raising money would be enough for him to have a headache.
Of course, spending so much thought is not without rewards. The owners of several shops came to see their renovation results and were quite satisfied. They inquired about the prices. Three shops signed contracts with him, and one shop has already moved in for renovation. , and the other two will start to decorate after the eighth day of the first lunar month. With the money and deposits earned from these shops, he would find a way to borrow some money, which would be enough to tide over this crisis. It's just that in this world, icing on the cake is easy, but giving charcoal in the snow is difficult. Those buddies who used to be close enough to him to wear a pair of trousers now avoid him when they see him, and they are sloppy. There is still a shortfall of thirty thousand yuan.
Although the 30,000 yuan is missing, as long as he can pay most of the workers' wages to everyone, I believe that with his reputation, everyone will not have much opinion. But because of this, Lin Hai didn't want to owe everyone money for the New Year.
Hearing that Lin Mo said that he wanted to pay back the money from the bank, Lin Hai pondered for a few seconds and said, "Little Mo, Uncle Hai will discuss things with you, okay?" After Lin Mo nodded, Lin Hai told Lin Mo about his current predicament Again, "...Xiaomo, look at the bank, it's not due yet, so you lend me the fifty thousand yuan first, and when my project is completed during the Chinese New Year, I'll help you go to the bank to get the money back Pay back with interest, do you think it will work?" Lin Hai knew that the real master of the Lin family was Lin Mo, so he asked Lin Mo directly, without mentioning other members of his family.
Lin Mo knew in his heart that Lin Hai wouldn't say this to him if he had to. He said without the slightest hesitation: "It's okay, Uncle Hai, you can use the money first. Don't say that there is no interest or no interest. If it wasn't for you, I would I'm afraid Dad won't even be able to keep a leg. If Dad and Grandma come back and find out that I lent you money and charged you interest, they should scold me."
Lin Hailang smiled and said, "Okay, you're a good kid! Don't worry, when I get the project money, I will definitely pay you back." Now not only the problem of workers' wages is solved, but also the money for all parties involved There is also, at least I can have a safe year.
Lin Mo also smiled and said, "It just so happened that I brought all the money today, I will give it to you somewhere, and you can count it."
Lin Hai ordered the cash, and after confirming that it was correct, he gave Lin Mo an IOU for 50,000 yuan.
After leaving the shop, Lin Mo bought a lot of New Year's goods and returned home. The house has been cleaned by the person who helped him before, and all the temporary canopy steel frames in the yard have been dismantled. The smell of blood and smoke, and the few osmanthus trees in the yard were also severely affected.
Lin Mo arrived home, and Lin Shu came back. The little fat man set up his bicycle and said excitedly: "Brother, Teacher Pang has given me a vacation. When will you take me to Jincheng?" Lin Shu was still thinking about it. The last shooting game I played.
"Tomorrow, I invited Aunt Gu and the others to come to our house for a New Year's Eve. We will go to Jincheng the day after tomorrow. Let's go play for two days before coming back." Dad and grandma will not come back until New Year's Eve, so Lin Mo can only organize Several people in the store had a reunion dinner, and gave everyone their salary and bonus for the last month.
"Two days! It's great!" Lin Shu jumped up excitedly: "Brother, brother, I'm going to eat hot fat sausage, Yipin tofu, honey yam, braised pork tomorrow..." After thinking about it, the little fat man felt that what he wanted to eat was too much. Too much, so I simply said, "Brother, why don't you make me a Manchu Banquet!" Thinking about the Manchu Banquet he watched on TV a few days ago, Lin Shu almost swallowed.
Lin Mo couldn't help laughing, and slapped him on the head: "It's still a full banquet, who is yelling that he wants to lose weight?"
Lin Shu's eyes dodged, and he raised his chin and said guiltily, "Who, who said he's going to lose weight?"
"A little fat man."
Lin Shu was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "I'm not fat, it's just that I have a little more flesh. Don't listen to the rascal Han!"
"Hey, who was it that called Brother Han so affectionately when they called a few days ago?"
"That's, that's because he said he would bring me back a super fun game." Lin Shu defended himself, he didn't like Han Bastard, unless he didn't steal his brother.
"So it's just for the game?"
Lin Shu was a little shy. Among the elder brothers and sisters, apart from Lin Mo, only Han Xun treated him the best. He bought him a lot of toys and snacks, and he was very knowledgeable. He shot guns to win toys, and helped his father heal... Well, he admitted, he still likes Han Xun a little bit, only a little bit!
Looking at his younger brother's expression, Lin Mo couldn't figure out what he was thinking? He shook his head silently in his heart, Han Xiaoren is really omnipotent, there is no one in his family who doesn't like him, including that little fat dog who is greedy and afraid of death!
I really don't know if it goes on like this, and when the relationship between them is broken one day, it will be easier for the family to accept it, or it will be more repulsive.
Lin Shu accidentally caught a glimpse of the sadness in his brother's eyes, and felt as if he had been stabbed for some reason, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Brother, brother, I want to eat mapo tofu, you can make it for me tonight." Lin Shu subconsciously changed the topic, but left a question in his heart - why does my brother feel sad when he mentions Han Bastard? Is it because villain Han bullied him? But it's not like that either.
Lin Mo twisted his chubby face and said with a smile: "You are a dog's nose, you know that I bought tofu before entering the house. Come on, help me light the fire, and I will make it for you."
"Okay!" Lin Shu temporarily suppressed the doubt in his heart.
In the evening, Lin Mo was leaning on the bed and reading a book under the quilt. The phone rang, and Han Xun was complaining when he picked it up: "Lin Xiaomo, don't you know how to call me because the signal is poor? I'll give you It took half an hour to get through!"
With a slightly arrogant tone, it was obvious that he was seeking to please his hair. Lin Mo hooked the corners of his mouth, so he didn't bother to talk to him: "Is there something wrong?"
The deserted voice was a little distorted through the microphone, and Han Xun stopped in his ears, only to feel that the exhaustion of the day had disappeared: "Little heartless, can you call me if you have nothing to do? It's not that there is no phone bill. Besides, I I won't dislike you for interrupting my work."
You wish I could interrupt your work!
"… oh."
Han Xun frowned instantly: "Oh, what do you mean? Lin Xiaomo, is it so difficult for you to say that you miss me?"
"Who misses you, don't put gold on your face." Do you want to? It seems that there is a little bit.
Han Xun heard from somewhere that Lin Mo felt guilty, and said, "Hmph, just keep your mouth shut. The game developed by our company will be officially released tomorrow."
"Then what?"
"Do you want to come to the capital to play?" Han Xun regretted it after finishing speaking, and quickly changed his words: "Forget it, you better not come, this year I have already agreed with my family, I will celebrate the New Year here, and wait for New Year's Eve I will look for you."
Almost instantly, Lin Mo understood Han Xun's thoughts. He was silent for a moment, and before he could speak, Han Xun hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, don't think about it. I have prepared a surprise for you You are not ready yet, when I am ready next year, you come again, okay?"
Hearing this surprise, Lin Mo suddenly remembered the time when he was seriously ill in his previous life, and mentioned to Han Xun that he wanted to buy a courtyard house to live in. The corners of the mouth that had been tensed just now suddenly broke into a smile: "Xiaoren Han, you should have more confidence in yourself." After speaking, Lin Mo hung up the phone.
Han Xun pondered for a moment, then recalled that the corners of his mouth almost went behind his ears——
Lin Xiaomo is really too awkward, just say "like" to him plainly, is it that difficult
"Xiaoyou, boss, are you calling your sister-in-law again? You really should show those nympho women how stupid you are now!" Zhao Yunfei pushed the door open and came in, seeing Han Xun's stupid appearance and couldn't help complaining.
"Fuck you, are things arranged for tomorrow?" Han Xun put away his smile, and returned to his usual stable appearance.
Zhao Yunfei secretly slandered the boss for changing his face faster than the sky, and said with a bitter face: "Lao Jin said that there seems to be something wrong with Bangziguo, let you go and have a look."
"Um."
