Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Forget it, forget it, it's just two portions of xiaolongbao, there are still five portions in the kitchen, and there's fried noodles too."

Lu Feng said with a laugh-cry expression, comforting him.

Li Jiang seemed not to hear, staring at Da Mao lying on the ground for a while,

then he suddenly stood up, with a serious face said to Lu Feng: "Brother, thanks for today, I have some family matters to handle, so I won't see you off."

Then without waiting for Lu Feng to reply, he quickly walked toward the living room, shouting loudly as he walked: "Dad! Where did you put your Qi Pai Lang belt? Let me borrow it!"

Lu Feng saw Li Jiang's posture, helplessly shook his head, estimated that soon Li Jiang's home would stage a full-blown brawl.

The scene would definitely be violent, the kind that is tragic and horrifying.

To be safe, it's better to leave this place of trouble early.

When leaving, Lu Feng looked with a pitying gaze at the Erha who still didn't know what was about to happen.

Da Mao's eyes were clear, carefree with his tongue out, his thick tail wagging back and forth.

Good luck!

Lu Feng silently prayed for it in his heart, then turned around and left.

He walked to the living room to bid farewell to Li Tian Yong and Zhao Hui Fang, the couple chatted with Lu Feng for a while, then sent Lu Feng out of the front door.

"Dead dog! Spit out my xiaolongbao for me!"

The moment the gate closed, Lu Feng heard Li Jiang's hysterical roar from inside the house.

Accompanying it were Da Mao's several mournful howls, and the persuasive voices of Li Tian Yong and his wife.

Lu Feng shook his head, strode toward the elevator, and soon arrived at the first floor.

Just as he walked out of the elevator, Lu Feng saw a person standing at the apartment entrance, with many cigarette butts thrown on the ground.

Seeing Lu Feng, Li Hong'an immediately threw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, smiling and walking over quickly.

"Uncle, didn't you leave?" Lu Feng slightly frowned, then put on a smiling face and asked.

He knew Li Hong'an had a bad impression of him, likewise, he also had a mediocre impression of Li Hong'an this nouveau riche.

But for Li Jiang's sake, Lu Feng still pretended to be polite.

"Isn't this waiting for you, want to chat with you for a bit."

Li Hong'an patted Lu Feng's shoulder while smiling, his eyes flashing with appreciative gaze.

"Wait for me? Is there something, Uncle?"

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at the cigarette butts scattered on the ground.

It seemed Li Hong'an had been waiting here for a long time.

But looking at his expression now, waiting here probably wasn't to mock him.

"Lu Feng, how is the business at your restaurant now?" Li Hong'an rolled his eyes, smiling as he asked.

"It's okay, can't compare to Uncle's big restaurant you opened, I'm just doing a small business to make a living."

Lu Feng was humble in words, his attitude indifferent as he replied.

"Lu Feng, Uncle had some misunderstandings about you before, my attitude toward you wasn't very friendly, you must not take it to heart, actually I quite appreciate you."

Li Hong'an heard the distance in Lu Feng's tone, the smile on his face somewhat unnatural as he said.

"Uncle, just say what you have to say, I still have things to do in a bit."

Lu Feng knew Li Hong'an had been waiting here for half a day, definitely not just to say these things to him.

At this time he could also vaguely guess the other's purpose, so he directly spoke straight to the point.

"Fine, then I won't beat around the bush with you either."

Li Hong'an's smile deepened, patted Lu Feng's shoulder and continued: "Lu Feng, I very much appreciate your culinary skill, why don't you not stay at that small shop, interested in coming to work at my restaurant?"

Li Hong'an thought his restaurant in Jiangcheng was somewhat famous, compared to Lu Feng's current small shop it was much more upscale, he said this, Lu Feng would surely agree readily.

Unexpectedly just as his voice fell, Lu Feng without thinking refused: "Not interested."

Just as he guessed, Li Hong'an was nothing more than eyeing his culinary skill, wanting to poach him to work for him.

Even setting aside his impression of Li Hong'an, Lu Feng didn't plan to go.

He didn't want to return to that kind of ox-and-horse commuting life again.

Working for others, how could it be as comfortable as being your own boss?

Li Hong'an was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, immediately said: "Don't rush to refuse, the treatment I offer will definitely satisfy you, ten thousand a month, plus year-end bonus, how do you feel?"

In Jiangcheng this third-tier city, with most people's monthly salary generally four or five thousand, a monthly salary of ten thousand is already considered high pay.

If it were the past Lu Feng, if someone offered him such a salary, he would definitely think it's a pie falling from the sky.

But for him now, how could this bit of money catch his eye.

His daily business profit now is already more than ten thousand.

"Uncle, thank you for your appreciation, but I've accepted your kindness, my own shop is doing quite well now, I don't plan to go elsewhere." Lu Feng still firmly shook his head and refused.

Li Hong'an didn't expect that he offered a salary of ten thousand to poach Lu Feng, yet he wasn't moved.

Could it be he felt it was too little?

But the most expensive chef in his shop only had a monthly salary of twelve thousand, offering Lu Feng ten thousand was already taking good care of him.

He estimated it was because his attitude toward Lu Feng was too bad before, so Lu Feng was unwilling to go to his shop.

Li Hong'an wanted to speak again to persuade a few more words, but the mobile phone ringtone suddenly sounding in his pocket interrupted what he wanted to say.

He answered the phone and listened for a while, and his expression changed.

After hanging up, he took a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Feng: "Lu Feng, my restaurant has an urgent matter. Call me anytime you've made up your mind. If you find the treatment unsatisfactory, we can negotiate properly then!"

Finished speaking, he shoved the business card into Lu Feng's hand and hurried toward the underground parking garage.

After Li Hong'an left, Lu Feng didn't even glance at the business card in his hand; he crushed it into a paper ball with one squeeze and casually tossed it into the garbage bin.

Walking out of the apartment building, Lu Feng straddled Li Jiang's electric scooter, twisted the throttle, and drove toward the complex exit.

Li Jiang's electric scooter was of good quality; aside from some dust that hadn't been wiped clean in places, the rest was all new.

The electric scooter ran quite fast, but for safety's sake Lu Feng used low gear the whole way.

Lu Feng rode for thirty minutes and returned to the villa district; this was much faster than taking the bus.

The security guards on duty at the Yunding Huating gate saw someone riding an electric scooter toward the main gate from far away and originally planned to go over and question them.

But when the electric scooter drew near, they discovered the rider was precisely the new owner who had just moved in, so they decisively let him pass.

Only after Lu Feng rode the electric scooter into the complex did the several guards at the gate start discussing it among themselves.

They stand guard at the villa gate every day and have seen quite a few luxury cars come and go; the lowest-end was a BMW.

But someone riding an electric scooter like Lu Feng today — this was the first time they'd seen it.

Living in such a luxurious villa, yet traveling by electric scooter.

They really can't understand this new No. 8 Courtyard owner more and more.

Jiang City center, Hong An Restaurant.

After parking the car at the restaurant entrance, Li Hong'an hurried inside.

The moment he entered, a female waiter rushed up to greet him in a fluster.

Li Hong'an wore a stern face, didn't speak any nonsense, and directly had the waiter lead the way.

The waiter led Li Hong'an to a private room; Li Hong'an pushed open the door and saw two waiters cleaning the floor inside.

Fragments of bowls and dishes were scattered on the floor, along with various dishes and soups — a complete mess of soup and water.
