Li Xiao now understands why the system only gave this private Cantonese restaurant a 4-star rating.
Although the good dishes are quite good, the problematic dishes also have very obvious shortcomings. It is not clear whether there is a problem with quality control or a problem in some aspect of the kitchen.
Normally there shouldn't be such a big gap. Li Xiao thought that if the last two dishes were the same as the first 6, then this place should be at least a five-star rating in the system's evaluation.
It's a pity to check in.
After all, there is still a big gap between the reward of 10,000 yuan and the reward of 100,000 yuan. Although the income is high now, no one will feel that they have too much money.
I closed the live broadcast and glanced at the reward statistics.
It's okay, not a lot, only 57,000 yuan in total, which is still more than 2,000 yuan short of 60,000 yuan.
Li Xiao proudly showed his income record to his parents. When the two of them saw the income data clearly, they all gasped. In just over an hour, they actually earned nearly 60,000 yuan.
The earning power is also exaggerated.
Their combined monthly salary is probably only 10,000 yuan. After deducting some miscellaneous expenses, the most they can get is just over 8,000 yuan. I didn't expect that my son's one hour of work could equal their income for more than half a year.
The three of them walked out of [Xingji Yayuan] and looked at their parents' graying hair under the light. Li Xiao hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Mom and Dad, why don't you both resign and stop working?"
"I'll arrange a convenience store for you nearby. You can live here. If you want to work, you can do it by yourself. If you don't want to, just take care of two people. You can go and have a look at it in your free time. The work will not be so tiring."
Originally, according to the two people's wishes, after Li Xiao got married and had children, they would move from the old house in the town to live in the villa when they needed to take care of the children.
Until then, they will still live in the old house. After all, in their view, this villa can be regarded as their son's new house.
What's going on when my two old guys move into the new house first?
Upon hearing Li Xiao's words, the two of them quickly waved their hands and refused.
Liang Jinjian said
"No, no, how can this be allowed? There is no wedding house where two old guys can move in first. This is against the rules."
Li Xiao rolled his eyes,
"Bullshit rules. People in the past didn't even have enough to eat, and there were so many irregularities. It's all nonsense that has only been done in the past few years."
"Just like some areas on the Internet where the bride price is high, what is the local tradition of saying that the bride price is high, the woman's name is added to the house, and the bride price is not refundable?"
"I can only talk about nonsense rules. Let me just say that in the era when you got married, the monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan. If the traditional gift was hundreds of thousands, wouldn't everyone need to get married? Besides, you are also watching today
When my son’s earning capacity reaches a certain point, maybe when I get married, I might even switch to a bigger house, don’t you think so?”
Although Li Xiao's words are a bit exaggerated, after all, he just bought a house with a down payment of more than 7 million today.
It has only been less than 24 hours since he bought the house, and he said that he was going to change the house. Normally, the cautious Li Jianguo would have reprimanded Li Xiao when he heard such grandiose words.
But after thinking about it carefully, my son does seem to have such an ability?
After all, 60,000 a day is 6 million in 100 days. Not to mention live broadcast every day, even if it is broadcast continuously for these three days, you can buy a house worth more than 6 million in a year.
In this way, when you get married, you may really be able to move to a bigger house. Think about these joints.
The worries in his heart were a little less. He pondered for a while and looked at his wife.
"Honey, why don't you quit your job first and come over to help your son look at the house? After all, it's the Chinese New Year, so let's take advantage of the holiday and work late."
"After all, it's not okay to buy such a big house without anyone taking care of it. If there is an accident like water leakage and there is no one to take care of it, that won't be possible."
"I'll help the boss finish this batch of goods first. I'll leave when he recruits people. By the way, you can find a better location to open a convenience store at this time. Haven't you always wanted to open a convenience store? Since
Now that my son has money, he can open it if he wants, right?"
"this....."
Liang Jinjian was a little hesitant, although she had indeed thought about opening a convenience store before.
However, just thinking about it, she never felt that she was qualified in this field.
Li Xiao saw that things had turned around and saw that his mother was entangled. He knew that it was time for him to add fuel to the fire, so he quickly advised
"Yes, yes, yes, it only costs two to three hundred thousand to open a small shop. I can still afford this money, but it is just for three days of live broadcast."
"You guys, just open a small shop when the time comes. Open the door when you get up in the morning, and close it when you're done eating. You don't want to make much money, just earn enough pocket money to buy groceries."
Li Jianguo also spoke to persuade,
"Yes, we will open it for a few years. When the grandson comes out and needs us to take care of him, the small store will either hire someone or it will not open. It is also okay for us to take care of the children. After all, what kind of monthly payment is given to those people?
I can rest assured that my sister-in-law will take care of her.
Liang Jinjian was a little moved. After listening to the two people's advice, he finally lost the battle and nodded.
"Okay, then I will resign when I return to the factory tomorrow. Our factory's performance is not good anyway, and we will probably lay off employees in a while. I originally thought about giving gifts to the team leader, but now I have saved even the money for gifts.
.”
While they were talking, the Didi car arrived. Li Xiao opened the door for his parents and prepared to sit in the passenger seat.
At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly. He glanced at the screen and raised his eyebrows. After answering the phone, he sat down in his seat.
A male voice with a bold smile came from the receiver of the phone.
"Hey, is this Li Xiao? I heard from the squad leader that you just came back from Hangzhou, do you want to come over and get together? A group of us old classmates happen to be drinking here on the bar street."
Li Xiao frowned slightly, not quite understanding why the other party called him at such a class reunion.
You must know that I have had social phobia since I was a child. I often don't like to talk when facing other people, but I can speak freely when facing the audience behind the screen.
This is also the reason why he has always liked this job, so he can promote most of the so-called class reunions. Over time, everyone knows that he does not like to attend such gatherings, so they no longer call him. However, when he calls
But it was his high school classmate.
Ding Yougang is the person he is most familiar with in the class. After all, when he was at school, he naturally chatted the most often, so Ding Yougang relied on Ding Yougang to inform him of information in the class every time he got together.
However, this kind of thing has become much less common in the past two years, because my rejections have become more frequent.
Even if there is a party, the two of them should get together, have something to eat, and talk about recent events.
He hesitated for a while, but instead of refusing directly, he asked,
"Why did you suddenly call me? You also know that I don't like parties very much."
Ding Yougang, who is opposite, also knows Li Xiao's temper. After all, they have been friends for so many years.
"Of course I know what you don't like. It's just that the squad leader has spoken. It's hard for me to refuse. Actually, it's like this. The squad leader's new store is about to open. It's right next to Thirteen Bowls in Galaxy City. I heard that you're not
Are you doing a food live broadcast?"
"She wants you to help promote it, and I heard that you have a lot of fans, but don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. Of course, this is money, and it will be given according to the market price. I guess the monitor also wants to take care of it.
I think it’s a classmate’s business, this kind of thing where you are good to me and everyone is good to each other, I think it’s very good, and she happened to know that you are back here, so she wanted to contact me to contact you.”
"By the way, this is a class reunion. It's just a small gathering of a dozen people. Come over to have fun, chat, and discuss things. Don't worry, we all had better fun in the past."
"Monitor, Ah Shan, Okra, Fatty, Ah Wen, Shan Yin, you know all of them."
Ding Yougang knew Li Xiao's temperament and would seem at a loss in front of strangers.
So the names that came out of his mouth were things that Li Xiao could still speak in high school.
Li Xiao just hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Let's not talk about promotion or not for now. I'll go over there first. After all, I don't accept advertisements here."
Hearing Li Xiao's words, Ding Yougang frowned, thinking that Li Xiao didn't want to come over, so it was just an excuse.
But before he could open his mouth to persuade, Li Xiao said the second half of the sentence
"But as a friend's new store promotion, I am still happy to help. However, if you don't have money, forget it. It's too foreign to talk about money with friends."
Regarding this invitation, Li Xiao was actually a little resistant at first and wanted to reject it directly, but when Ding Yougang mentioned the squad leader.
Some memory fragments from high school came to mind again. His academic performance at that time was not very good. After all, he had never participated in any cram school or any other class that taught students to improve their talents.
Therefore, good subjects are not top-notch, and bad subjects become partial subjects. High school teachers are also very busy, and even if they have time, they pay more attention to good students.
After all, Li Xiao's original school was a private school, and teachers in the third year of high school would receive bonuses for every undergraduate they produced.
Of course, there are also key universities such as 985 and 211. Some higher-end institutions have awards in the hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, poor students can only make up for their mistakes through their own efforts. After all, in the eyes of the teacher at the time, it is simply a waste of precious time for a guy like Li Xiao, let alone a textbook, to even get a bachelor's degree.
I can't live with myself.
Most of the other students are busy with their own affairs. After all, everyone knows that the college entrance examination is like an army crossing a single-plank bridge. One point can lead to hundreds of differences.
If you read more, you may get one more point. Who wants to spend time teaching others?
So every time he saw that his superior subjects could only be ranked in the middle, while his scores in inferior subjects were significantly different from others, he felt quite desperate.
However, at this time, as the monitor with relatively good grades in the class, he was willing to waste precious study time to help him answer some questions that he did not know.
You must know that the time in the senior year of high school is very precious. You don’t have enough time for yourself, let alone helping others?
So Li Xiao was very touched, and he knew that if the monitor hadn't come over every day to help with tutoring, he wouldn't have been able to attend cram school, and he wouldn't have been able to get into university at his level, even if it was only a third-rate university in the end.
.
Li Xiaoke always remembered this kindness, but the monitor not only had excellent academic performance, but was also very popular, and his family background was also quite good.
Therefore, even if Li Xiao, who was impoverished and had no special skills, wanted to repay the squad leader, he had no way of doing it.
However, Li Xiao kept this kindness firmly in his heart and never dared to forget it. He thought that this kindness would never be enough in his lifetime, but he didn't expect that within a month or two, his life would change completely.
I have gone from an unpopular anchor to a somewhat famous anchor in the eyes of outsiders.
So when he heard that the squad leader's new store was about to open and wanted to ask him to help promote it, he agreed after only half a second of thinking.
I think with my current popularity, I can still help the other party to promote it.
After asking for the location of several people, Li Xiao hung up the phone, turned around with an apologetic smile on his face, and said to his parents in the back seat.
"You may need to go back to the villa by yourself later. I have a high school classmate who asked me to go out for a drink. You don't have to wait for me tonight. I still have a bunch of keys here."
The two of them didn't voice any objections. After all, they were both in their 20s. They were just hanging out with friends, so it wasn't a big problem. Besides, for boys, in the eyes of the older generation, going out to play was not a big deal.
The one who suffered a loss was just a reminder not to drink too much and pay attention to safety.
Li Xiao got out of the car again, stopped a taxi, and set off towards the destination.
On the other side, outside [Xingji Yayuan], a group of rich second-generation people also got into their luxury cars after eating and drinking.
While He Ruida was calling marketing to confirm the location of her booth in the bar, she watched the young men one by one light up the car and leave the parking lot.
After the last sports car left, he started his BMW and followed behind.
Everyone is a regular visitor to the bar street, so there is no question of whether to lead the way or not, so a small character like him must go at the end. After all, it is not very decent for the eldest brother to follow the younger brother.
Although I have been a grandson for a whole day today, accompanying a large group of young men around, but spending a whole day with me with a smile on my face is not without gain.
He glanced at the thick stack of documents on the passenger seat, with joy on his face.
I just signed four copies, and there are still six more. I guess I can sign them after the evening meal. This means that all the orders for the first half of this year have been secured.
I can also breathe a sigh of relief. You must know that the current economic environment is not very good, and many factories like my own are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Only my own side is doing well. In the first two months, I even contracted a nearby factory and expanded its production capacity by half.
He was able to fight his way through a group of peers, all by his own ability. He was able to flatter and flatter these young men, and he was able to get a lot of orders by himself at that time.
But thinking about the wine party waiting later, a wry smile appeared on his face.
It's all trivial to flatter someone and treat him like a grandson. It's just a matter of face. Once you get used to it and become thick-skinned, it won't matter.
He just couldn't get used to it, it was a fatal situation, and he was not naturally good at drinking.
However, at the wine table, why don’t you just drink if you say you can’t?
The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and he quickly took out the hangover pills from the passenger drawer and took a look at the dosage: 1 to 2 pills each time.
He shook his head, poured 4 small red pills out of it, threw them into his mouth, opened the mineral water and swallowed the pills.
Take 4 pills now, and then take 2 pills after drinking. Then you should be able to get up and have dinner the next day. He sighed, hoping to get up before night, otherwise he would fall asleep like last time.
It's troublesome day and night.
When the time comes, my crying mother will probably have to bring up the old issues again.
Although his mother has always wanted him to close the factory, there are still several rental houses in the family that can collect rent, so it is not a big problem for the family to have enough food and clothing.
However, after all, that factory was his father's hard work for most of his life.
He still wants to work hard, and if he wants to come here, he can pretend to be a grandson and drink with him, and he can earn two to three million a year. If such a job is lost, he doesn't know if he can still find it.
Li Xiao arrived at the destination according to the location on his mobile phone.
[Uncle Sam], a very famous bar in Dongguan City.
After politely bidding farewell to the Didi driver, Li Xiao closed the door and walked toward the bar.
Li Xiaogang entered the door and was about to take out his mobile phone and asked Ding Yougang to take him in. A familiar yet unfamiliar female voice came from behind.
"Li Xiao?"
Li Xiao turned around following the voice, and his eyes fell on a girl wearing a knee-length skirt in the middle of winter. Although she was wearing black pantyhose under the skirt, was it really not cold in this winter?
His eyes moved upward quickly, and he passed by a good-looking but slightly smaller figure and fell on the other person's face. He took a closer look and quickly recognized the other person's identity. He was a former classmate in his class.
, okra.
Li Xiao showed a polite smile
"Okra, long time no see."
Qiu Kui also showed a polite smile and looked Li Xiao up and down with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
In her impression, the man named Li Xiao, although good-looking, always wore rustic clothes. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for several years, not only did he look much more handsome, but his temperament also became more elegant.
"It's been a long time indeed. I haven't seen you since the last class reunion. I didn't expect you to be so handsome?"
Okra made a harmless joke, swung her neat short hair, and then took the lead to walk forward and said without looking back.
