Fayue Restaurant is located in the most prosperous Sanlitun. It is next to the most prosperous and lively intersection in Sanlitun. Fayue Restaurant has three floors. The first and second floors are open to the public. The third floor is Li Tong's own territory, his office. and the place where he entertains good friends are all on the third floor. Next door is a two-story Fayue Coffee. The third floor of Fayue Coffee is Fayue Bar, an authentic European-style quiet bar. The catering, coffee and bar are all Li's. It is said that Tong's own property has a thirty-seven-story building behind it that is being renovated. He has booked the three floors 35, 36, and 37 in advance, and will be renovating it after the year to build a Fayue Hotel.
Li Tong's plans are basically in the direction of collectivization, and they are all located in Sanlitun, one of the hottest business districts in Yanjing. This shows that his financial resources are still very strong.
Before Su Yingxue's aunt and uncle came, Li Mu chatted with them for a while. When he thought that this was Sanlitun, Li Mu thought of the Sugar Club that Fatty Wang was running. He also invested money in it, but he had never paid attention to him. After seeing the progress, he asked Xu Jiaming: "By the way, how is Lao Wang's Sugar Club going?"
Xu Jiaming said: "I mentioned it a few days ago, and it seems to be about 70% to 80% done. Now I have been working hard to prepare for the opening on the second day of the new year. The most people come out to play during the Chinese New Year."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Then I won't have time to come over and support you."
Xu Jiaming smiled slightly and asked him: "Are you going on vacation soon?"
Li Mu nodded: "It's almost there, it's only a few days away."
"Going back as soon as the holiday comes?"
"Well, let's go on vacation."
Xu Jiaming nodded and asked him: "Have you seen Lao Chen recently?"
Li Mu knew that he was asking about Chen Ze, so he shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him in the past few days."
Xu Jiaming smiled and said: "Lao Chen has been crazy busy recently, and he doesn't pay attention to anyone who comes to him."
Li Mu asked curiously: "What is he busy with?"
Xu Jiaming shook his head and said, "I don't know what I'm busy with, but I heard that Du Fei will be back soon. Lao Chen may want to finish a lot of things that need to be done before she comes back, so as to free up time." Stay with her when she comes back."
Li Mu exclaimed: "Old Chen is quite infatuated."
"That's right." Xu Jiaming said: "It's well-known in the circle that no matter how many women post it, it's no use. They don't even look at it. All they can think about is Du Fei."
Li Tong smiled and said: "Brother Chen and Sister Fei have been entangled for many years, right? I don't know what Sister Fei thinks, and she never gave him an explanation."
Xu Jiaming smiled and said, "Things between them are very complicated and we can't comment."
With that said, Xu Jiaming changed the topic and said to Li Mu: "When you meet your parents today, have you learned about their elders' preferences in advance?"
Li Mu glanced at Su Yingxue standing aside, spread his hands and said, "My girlfriend said that her aunt and uncle don't care much about eating."
Xu Jiaming said: "It doesn't matter if you don't care. The chef here at Lao Er is very good. He will definitely satisfy all of you when the time comes."
Just as he finished speaking, a man in work clothes walked over quickly and said to Li Tong: "Mr. Li, two guests have arrived. They said they were with Mr. Li Muli. Our greeter has already brought them in."
Li Tong nodded and said to Li Mu: "Then we won't bother you here. Li Mu, if you have any needs, just ask the waiter here. I have already said hello in advance."
Xu Jiaming also said: "We will go upstairs to have a cup of tea and call if we need anything."
Li Mu and Su Yingxue thanked the two of them, and they left in a hurry. Within half a minute of leaving, the white woman who had greeted the guests downstairs personally took Su Yingxue's aunt and uncle upstairs.
Li Mu and Su Yingxue hurriedly stood next to the table. When the welcome guests brought them to the front, Su Yingxue blushed and called out: "Aunt, uncle."
It was the first time that Su Yingxue brought her boyfriend to meet her family. Although she was not her parents, Su Yingxue was still a little nervous and shy.
Li Mu was also a little nervous, but his face was still calm and he called politely: "Hello, uncle, aunt."
This was the first time that Su Yuehua and Wang Shaohua met Li Mu face to face. Although they had seen them on TV before and from a certain distance in reality, it was only when they came face to face that they realized that Li Mu's appearance was quite good. , who is also tall, stands straight and straight in front of the two of them, and is very energetic.
Su Yuehua's first impression of Li Mu was very good, maybe because she heard some of Li Mu's deeds, she had already had the impression that Li Mu was a talented man, so when they met, she saw that he had a very good appearance and temperament, which made her even more impressed. She thinks Li Mu has both talent and appearance, which is very rare.
The same goes for Wang Shaohua. Li Mu is not the kind of white-faced scholar who is fair and frail, but looks much calmer than his peers.
Both of them nodded to Li Mu. After everyone sat down at the dinner table, Su Yuehua said with a smile: "I have seen you on TV before. I knew that you and Yingxue were both studying at the National People's Congress, but I didn't pay much attention at the time. I didn't expect it. You and Yingxue are actually high school classmates."
Although Su Yuehua knew that Li Mu and Su Yingxue were boyfriend and girlfriend, she deliberately did not say it out loud. Instead, she brought up the relationship between the two as classmates. In fact, it was also a disguised attitude. She did not want to admit the two directly at first. This kind of puppy love relationship between people.
Li Mu smiled and said: "Yingxue and I were in the same class as a freshman in high school. When I was admitted to college, I wanted to apply for a major with her, but my score was not good and I couldn't choose."
Wang Shaohua glanced at Li Mu, smiled slightly and said nothing, but his impression of Li Mu became a little better.
The meaning of Li Mu's words is actually very straightforward. He came here for Su Yingxue. From high school to now, he also implicitly proves his feelings for Su Yingxue.
Su Yuehua also heard what Li Mu meant and asked him with a smile: "Xiao Li, how many people are there in your family?"
Li Mu said: "Three people, I am an only child."
Su Yuehua nodded and asked, "Are your parents in Haizhou?"
Li Mu said: "They are all here, natives of Haizhou."
Su Yuehua said: "I see that you are not very old, and you are the only one in the family. Your parents should be in their early forties, right?"
Li Mu nodded: "My parents got married early and gave birth to me early. This year my dad is 41 and my mom is 40."
Su Yuehua frowned slightly, then said with a smile: "Then your parents are indeed very young. What do they do?"
Su Yuehua was mentally deducing the occupations of Li Mu's parents at this time. If Li Mu's father was only twenty-two years old and his mother was only twenty-one when Li Mu was born, then she could conclude that Li Mu's parents had never gone to college and were just a bachelor at best. High school diploma.
Su Yuehua has four brothers and sisters, two older brothers and one younger sister. All four of them are college graduates. Not only them, but their parents were also college students before the founding of the People's Republic of China. They are from a scholarly family. It is expected that these four families will be in the future. When looking for in-laws, money is not the first priority, but the education level of the other family may be what they care about most.
However, Su Yuehua didn't have any bad opinion of Li Mu because of this. After all, Li Mu was a student of Renmin University. From this point alone, he and Su Yingxue were right.
Regarding Su Yuehua's question, Li Mu did not hide it: "My parents used to be employees of Xiling Coal Mine. They were laid off last year and opened a clothing store in Haizhou."
Su Yuehua nodded slightly, with some hidden disappointment in his eyes.
In recent years, the wave of layoffs has been increasing, especially in state-owned manufacturing companies and energy companies. Male employees are laid off 45 times out of 10, and female employees are laid off 89 times out of 10. Coal mines are not good units in the first place, and the couple both After being laid off, looking back at her second brother's family, the second brother was just promoted some time ago and became the top leader of the Haizhou Municipal Bureau. For a person of his age, it is already very impressive to have reached this level. Her sister-in-law is also a national civil servant, and she is also a civil servant. Comparing department-level cadres, Li Mu's parents and Su Yingxue's parents, there is really a gap.
Let's talk about opening a clothing store. When Su Yuehua heard the word "clothing store", he couldn't help but think of the small shops that specialize in low-quality clothing on the streets of Haizhou, so the feeling of gap in his heart became even greater. a bit.
Su Yuehua was embarrassed not to respond, so she asked casually: "It should be quite profitable to open a clothing store."
That's what she said, but she didn't think so in her heart. For a clothing store in a place like Haizhou, if it could earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year, it would be very expensive, right
Su Yingxue realized that her aunt might be a little dissatisfied with Li Mu's family situation, so she hurriedly pretended not to care and said casually: "Aunt, Li Mu's parents are very discerning. They first opened a Metersbonwe store in Haizhou, and then another Opened a Semir."
Su Yuehua was stunned. Although she doesn't wear these two brands, her daughter likes them and often goes shopping with her. These two stores should be the favorite brands of young people now, so the business is very good every time she goes there. Especially on weekends, I have to queue even for the fitting room.
Although she is not in business, Su Yuehua has heard about this kind of franchised brand stores. If you open a store in Yanjing, it will cost millions. Even in a small city like Haizhou, it will cost hundreds of thousands. Only then can I get it
Thinking of this, she was full of curiosity about Li Mu's family. These days, if you want to know how much money a worker can earn, you only need to know three pieces of information to guess it: place, company, position, first of all, Haizhou, Haizhou's per capita salary It's not more than a thousand. The coal company may be slightly better, but the salary will not be much higher than the ordinary salary. And the most important thing is that Li Mu's parents have been laid off, which proves that their positions are not high. It is estimated that the couple When I was on the job, I spent a total of 2,000 yuan a month. How could a family with this level of income use the funds to open two stores in a row after being laid off
Su Yuehua couldn't figure it out.
