Chapter 527 Can't be like this anymore

With the development of Lu's restaurant, Lu Dong's wealth is not a secret in the eyes of many people. As long as you have the heart to understand such an information society, people like Lu Dong who have no special identity can always understand. a lot of.

   Rich, not bad looking, and still young, according to the standards of more than ten years later, Lu Dong is definitely called a tall, rich and handsome.

   Especially in the eyes of many people, Lu Dong's career has just started, and it is obviously in the rising stage, and it is far from reaching its peak.

   At this point in time, although not as impetuous in the future, there are already many people who take the lead.

   Some people, such as Ning Xue, are even self-taught. Maybe their rank is a little lower, but they have reached the threshold.

   In fact, there are many people who have their eyes on Lu Dong, but Taidong society as a whole tends to be conservative, most people are relatively reserved, and Lu Dong is also relatively low-key in addition to his work.

  Sun Sha simply took Zhao Li to the Burger King at the central intersection, so that Zhao Li should be familiar with the situation.

   Zhao Li didn't have a clear answer, but she didn't refuse to come over, curiously looking at Lu's restaurant.

  I even saw Burger King at the central intersection, and went to Lu's Mala Tang restaurant.

  The biggest impression on Zhao Li from the two stores is that there are many customers and the business is booming.

   I have been doing market development in McDonald's before, and I have some experience. After careful observation and estimation, it is not difficult to find that the single-day turnover of these two stores can reach at least 30,000.

   Lu's Catering Company already has 245 stores. According to Sun Sha, it may be close to 300 this year.

   Stores in other places may not have the unique advantage of the intersection of the university town center, but from point to surface, it will not be bad.

   When Zhao Li was studying abroad, although she was not as fun as Sun Sha, she also let go of herself, otherwise the two would not have become friends.

  What Sun Sha said was nothing to her.

   Zhao Li can go to study abroad, at least her family's conditions are not bad, but it is not bad. When she returned to the urban area of ​​Quannan, she was sitting in Sun Sha's BMW, and Zhao Li found that she also wanted to drive a BMW.

  …………

  Lu Dong came out after dinner, went to the Provincial Library to borrow books, and met Natasha.

   "Hi, Lu Dong." The blonde Natasha has been here for three years. She gradually passed the language barrier and spoke Chinese more fluently: "Come here to borrow a book?"

  Lü Dong saw that Natasha was also choosing books, and said, "You also come to borrow books."

  Natasha said with a smile: "Yes, I'm about to graduate. Song Na said, let me graduate and work in Wenxin business, I'm studying business."

   Lu Dong said, "You need to help Song Na more."

  Natasha replied: "No problem."

  Lu Dong thought of the big Ivan who had left and asked, "Do you plan to settle down in China?"

   "Yes." Natasha has a stake in Wenxin Trading and a stake in No. 1 Sports. This is considered a successful career, which is much better than returning to Ukraine to start from scratch.

More importantly, the social environment here is stable and the law and order is good. Even if she misses her hometown, Natasha still decides to stay: "I bought a house in a community in the north this year. When I graduate, all my family members will come. I like it here."

   Lu Dong said, "I settled down."

  Natasha smiled happily and said, "Unfortunately, Ivan is gone, he didn't want to go."

   Lu Dong didn't know if Natasha had put it down, so he continued: "Ivan attaches great importance to his family. I contacted him once, and now I live in Moscow."

  Natasha said: "I contacted him, bless him."

  The two chatted for a while, and then Lu Dong left the library and went back. When he got off work in the afternoon, the future father-in-law asked him to pick up something and walk to Wenyue, a school.

   When crossing the road, Lao Liu happened to be riding a tricycle, pulling a cart full of goods from the south.

   Lu Dong took the initiative to say hello: "Uncle Liu, have you gone to stock up?"

Lao Liu also saw Lv Dong, stopped, wiped the sweat with the towel around his neck, and said, "I'm going to pick up the goods, the old truck that delivered the pot has boiled and can't move, I'm waiting for it here. Goods, there are a few people who do errands at home, and the money has been paid. If I can't wait, I borrowed a tricycle and pulled it myself."

  Lü Dong saw that Lao Liu's wrinkled forehead was covered in sweat, and said, "It's such a hot day, ask the young to do it, don't be hot."

   "It's okay, it's okay." Lao Liu smiled, with a bitterness hidden in his smile that outsiders could not detect: "After so many years, I've gotten used to it, and it's not hot."

   Lu Dong didn't know what to say, and pointed to Wenyuan, a school: "You're busy first, I'll go to the community."

   Lao Liu was about to get something from the car: "Are you going to Song Na's house? Grab some melon seeds, and the big almonds that just came in. This is delicious."

   Lu Dong quickly stopped him: "Uncle Liu, you are busy, I have to hurry over here."

   Without waiting for Lao Liu to say anything else, Lu Dong turned around and left, doing business is nothing more than money.

Watching Lu Dong walk away, Lao Liu picked up the towel, wiped his sweat, got on the tricycle, and pedaled north to the farmers market. Even if the sun was about to go down, the sky was still hot, and the air he breathed in was like a fire, burning it. Sore throat.

   Lao Liu felt powerless.

This generation of rural people, when they were young, did not eat well and could not keep up with their nutrition. At the age of 10, they began to work hard, doing heavy and tiring work, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky. There are problems in all aspects of the body, either pain here or discomfort there. Many people in their fifties look very old.

   Not to mention Lao Liu, Song Na's parents, one has bad legs and the other has a bad waist. If Song Na hadn't worked hard, she would still have to endure the pain in her legs and back to work in the mountains and fields.

   People like Lu Dong who were born and grew up in the countryside in the early 1980s have seen them a lot and got used to it, and many people don’t even think there is any problem with this.

  Old Liu turned into the farmers' market on a bicycle, saw the director of the market management office head-on, and greeted with a smile: "Director Zhao, I haven't gotten off work yet."

   "I'm ready to go now." Zhao Hu saw that Lao Liu was struggling to pedal, and couldn't help but say, "Didn't your son open a shop with you? Let him do all the work."

   Lao Liu squeezed out a smile: "It's okay, it's okay."

   Zhao Hu shook his head, relying on the lack of direct contact with Lao Liu, and said, "You are used to it, and you don't do anything after that. Then you can't do it anymore, what should you do?"

  Old Liu pretended not to hear, just lowered his head and pedaled the tricycle, his grey short-sleeved t-shirt, already soaked with sweat, stuck tightly to his curved back.

   Zhao Hu glanced at him and said nothing more. He went back to the office, took his bag and got ready to leave work.

   "Director." A staff member came over to join in the fun: "Old Liutou is beyond the control of outsiders, he has to figure it out for himself."

   Zhao Hu took a sip of herbal tea and said, "It's not for Lu Dong's sake that I'm too lazy to say it."

It's not been a day and a half since I was transferred to the farmers market. From the first time Lu Dong asked him to coordinate the door, Zhao Hu was paying attention to Lao Liu. One, I know the old Liutou family relatively well.

Old Liutou is a down-to-earth and willing to work. His son... At the beginning, he was considered capable, but he couldn't stand the money in his hand. If there is more money in his hand, people will drift. The male looks for the mistress, the female Looking for a concubine, but his wife left home, and in the end he lost his business and business.

   If it wasn't for Lu Dong, would this family be able to get up again?

   Zhao Hu didn't understand, what's so good about the son of Lao Liutou, who married a mistress? Have money in hand? No matter how rich you are, can you be richer than Lu Dong? Even though Lu Dong is so rich, he still manages the company and does business in a down-to-earth manner, and he has never seen Lu Dongpiao...

   This person, if he can't be rich, he doesn't know his surname.

   Zhao Hu thought about whether or not there are some of these, and went home after get off work.

  In front of Liu Ji Roasted Seeds Shop, Lao Liu stopped his tricycle, his throat was dry and he wanted to vomit. The gray T-shirt was attached to his chest and back, and even the bones could be seen.

  He looked up and looked inside the store. His son and daughter-in-law were sitting in front of the fan, and his daughter-in-law was nibbling on melon seeds. His son had his legs crossed and took a sip of a blue Coke.

   Lao Liu greeted: "Liu Yang, come and unload the goods!"

   Liu Yang glanced at it, but didn't move his butt: "Put it here first, and then talk about it when it's cool."

   Maybe remembering what Zhao Hu said, Lao Liu said again: "People are waiting to use the car, so they have to go back."

   Liu Yang still didn't move: "What's the hurry? The sky hasn't fallen yet, wait until he comes to ask for a car."

   Lao Liu looked inside the store, Liu Yang drank Coke to himself, no matter what was going on outside, he didn't even see that Lao Liu was sweating.

I can't help my son, let alone my daughter-in-law. Lao Liu can't do anything about it. He took a towel that was soaking wet, wiped his sweat, picked up the bag and took it down. There were a lot of things. On the side of the store entrance.

   After the tricycle was delivered, the unloaded goods were piled up there, and no one came out to see it.

  Old Liu had smoke in his throat, went into the room to drink water, and wanted to blow off the fan, but his son and daughter-in-law took all the seats.

   "Hey..." Lao Liu's suffering can only be swallowed in his heart.

Fortunately, the orderer came, and there was no need to move things into the store. Old Liu saw that his son and daughter-in-law didn't move, so he hurried over to say hello, checked the goods and delivered them. question.

   The person who placed the order took out the money and was ready to pay the balance. Once the money was placed in his hand, he was ready to give it to Lao Liu.

   The two who were sitting still in the store all came out at this time, and the daughter-in-law naturally stood between Lao Liu and the buyer, and she was about to pick up the money.

  The buyer looked at Lao Liu, and when he saw Lao Liu nodded, the payment was given.

   Daughter-in-law clicked, as if she was skilled.

   "Right?" the buyer asked.

   "That's right." The daughter-in-law put the money in her pocket.

   Liu Yang immediately followed his daughter-in-law into the store, and whispered together, saying where to go at night.

  Old Liu sent them off, and when he heard the words of the two, his face became darker.

  Standing at the door and looking at the hanging signboard, I don’t know how long this store can last.

   Entering the store, when his son and daughter-in-law went to buy dinner together, Lao Liu opened the drawer of the counter, and there was no money except a few cash in it.

   "It can't be like this anymore." Old Liu muttered: "It can't be like this anymore."

He picked up the screwdriver, went out to the car shed at the back, and found his son's motorcycle. Lao Liu checked that there was no one to his left or right. The screwdriver in his hand slammed into the motorcycle tire. .

   After dinner, at eight o'clock, Liu Yang and his wife were about to go out, only to find that the tire was punctured by the motorcycle.

   After scolding, I had to switch to riding a bicycle.

   As soon as these two left, Lao Liu went to the management office, borrowed a car, and followed from a distance.

  There are many people on the road in the university town in summer, so you don't have to worry about being discovered.
