Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

Chapter 354 Showdown

"Zhenmin."

Li Zhenmin, who was doing carpentry work, suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

Turning back, I saw Lin Xueru standing at the door.

"Do you have time?"

Lin Xueru spoke again.

Li Zhenmin nodded, then stood up, changed out of his work clothes, washed his hands and left with Lin Xueru.

He felt that Lin Xueru was getting more and more abnormal. She looked worried when eating before, and now her attitude was even worse.

You must know that in the past, Lin Xueru always had the provocative image of a royal sister to her, no matter how big or small it was, how could she be as formal and nervous as she is today.

Apparently something big happened.

"What happened? How can I help?"

Li Zhenmin sat down and poured Lin Xueru a cup of hot tea.

The tavern is now inseparable from Lin Xueru's management, and Lin Xueru has never taken the initiative to make any excessive demands. It can be said that both Li Zhenmin personally and the tavern have always been pretty good.

So no matter what the angle is, if you can help, you will naturally help.

After his opening remarks, Lin Xueru put the teacup to her mouth, seemingly drinking tea, but she did not put the teacup back on the table for a long time, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Li Zhenmin didn't urge him either.

After sitting for a while and looking at the watch, he stood up and said, "It's dinner time, I'm going to cook."

As soon as she stood up, she heard Lin Xueru say: "Wait a minute."

Li Zhenmin was stunned.

Lin Xueru replied: "Someone asked me to go to dinner tonight."

Li Zhenmin became more and more confused, but he didn't push him. He just sat down again and waited quietly for Lin Xueru's next words.

Lin Xueru took a deep breath, as if having a final ideological struggle, and then began to speak.

"Jia Dongxu suddenly found me when I got off work last night and told me..."

She told what happened last night and didn't hide anything.

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked directly at Li Zhenmin, feeling increasingly nervous.

Li Zhenmin frowned, a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't deduce any extra information in a short time, so he asked: "So what are you going to do? Isn't it just to eat? Can't you just go to the appointment? "

Hearing this, Lin Xueru stared at Li Zhenmin in surprise and said, "No, aren't you angry or saying something?"

Li Zhenmin was also puzzled and said: "What you do when you are angry is not your private matter? And Li Huaide does have a background. If by some chance his father-in-law likes your shop, this is also an opportunity, isn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something.

Finally realized what Lin Xueru meant when she was so nervous and guilty before?

"No, you are so worried today. Do you mean to leave the tavern?"

"I...."

Lin Xueru wanted to explain something, but in the end she still didn't know how to speak.

Li Zhenmin's frown deepened.

After a while, he smiled with relief: "This is your private matter. You don't have to be like this. It's up to you to stay or go. Besides, you don't have accurate information from Li Huaide. Anyway, you should go to the appointment first. If you feel that That's fine, it won't be too late to resign from here when the time comes."

When things got to this point, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

In his impression, Lin Xueru was the kind of woman who wanted to be strong, and who valued interests very seriously. It was already rare for her to be so kind to him now.

From another perspective, it is not that the tavern cannot continue to operate without Lin Xueru.

It's just a store manager. If he changes it, the worst he can do is go to Xu Huizhen to discuss it.

If the society really doesn't come, he will find someone else then.

The competitiveness and survival foundation of the tavern is not the woman Lin Xueru, not to mention that now that the tavern's management method and reputation have been established, the worst thing is to change her training.

"Sorry, I...."

"There's no need for this. In addition to business cooperation, we are still friends. What's more, you and Li Huaide haven't even gotten along yet."

"But...."

Lin Xueru also wanted to say something like Li Huaide was Li Zhenmin's enemy after all, and she was sorry for doing this, but Li Zhenmin waved her hand: "It's getting late, Manager Lin, go to the appointment quickly, don't waste time."

Hearing this, Lin Xueru was startled.

She was still Sister Lin before, but now she is Manager Lin. She is obviously unfamiliar.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Lin Xueru sighed, finally stood up, put on her coat and left the tavern.

Li Zhenmin sat on the stool without getting up to see him off.

I kept wondering what was wrong.

Would Li Huaide's father-in-law really be interested in the clothes in the silk store?

Would such a big shot buy clothes in ordinary stores?

It's not impossible, but the possibility is too small.

Even so, he mentioned this matter casually in front of Li Huaide, and then Li Huaide wanted to take Lin Xueru to make clothes for his father-in-law in person in order to show his courtesy.

but--

Why didn't Li Huaide find Lin Xueru in person? Is it really as Lin Xueru said that he was afraid that Lin Xueru would not agree because of his relationship with Li Zhenmin?

Then why do you want Jia Dongxu to pass on the message again?

Didn't Jia Dongxu have a worse relationship with him? Wouldn’t the invitation be more effective like this?

Besides, why do we have to find Jia Dongxu? Wouldn't it be better to find someone else to spread the word?

Jia Dongxu had an irreconcilable conflict with him just two days ago, and today his friends and partners made such a choice...

The more Li Zhenmin thought about it, the more something was wrong!

Just like that, time passed by minute by minute.

Cooking meals while deducing.

At meal time, Yuan Qinghe and Ding Qiunan came over to eat together.

Both of them discovered that Lin Xueru, who usually liked Li Zhenmin's cooking the most, was not there, and that Li Zhenmin seemed to have something on his mind.

"Where's Manager Lin, do you want to serve her some food?"

Ding Qiunan asked doubtfully.

Li Zhenmin came to his senses and waved his hand: "No, it's just us. She has something to do."

Ding Qiunan responded, then didn't ask any more questions and helped to put the rice on the table.

While eating, Yuan Qinghe couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhenmin, has something happened to Manager Lin?"

Li Zhenmin thought for a while and then explained the matter again.

Finally he smiled and said, "It looks like we have to hire another shopkeeper."

Hearing this, Yuan Qinghe and Ding Qiunan looked at each other.

too suddenly!

It’s so unjust!

Even if Lin Xueru took the initiative to say this, she didn't say hello in advance and didn't give her a buffer time. This is unjust!

"Usually Lin Xueru gets along well with everyone, but I didn't expect that he would be such a selfish person!"

Ding Qiunan scolded angrily.

Neither Li Zhenmin nor Yuan Qinghe spoke to each other.

Suddenly, Li Zhenmin thought of something.

"Isn't it Jia Dongxu who deceived Lin Xueru?"

Jia Dongxu is now unable to protect himself and must find a backer, and Li Huaide is a good candidate because he can speak well in the factory.

And Li Huaide was lustful and greedy for money.

Jia Dongxu has no money, so if he wants to curry favor, he can only offer beautiful women.

As for whether Li Huaide dared to take advantage of Lin Xueru's consent, Li Zhenmin had no doubts at all.

With Li Huaide's ability, the current social status of women, and Lin Xueru's many ties now, there is a high probability that Li Huaide will come directly by force!

"What do you mean? What are the benefits of Jia Dongxu lying to Lin Xueru?"

Yuan Qinghe didn't think about what else was there.

Li Zhenmin couldn't explain it at the moment and stood up quickly: "I will explain this later. If it is really what I think, then Lin Xueru is in a very bad situation now. I have to go and take a look."

On the one hand, they are friends, but on the other hand, it is also because neither Jia Dongxu nor Li Huaide can deal with him. Now this is a good handle.
