Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

On his way home, Liu Quanyou's mind was filled with regret as he recalled the items Li Hanliang had discarded that day.

"Brother Hanliang, you really are something else! You just throw away perfectly good stuff like that, what a waste!"

Throughout the journey, Liu Quanyou kept complaining, but Li Hanliang seemed to ignore him, humming a tune and paying no attention to Liu Quanyou's words.

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Liu Quanyou, who had been nagging until his throat was dry, finally had no choice but to fall silent and continue walking towards home with a dejected look on his face.

Early the next morning.

Li Hanliang helped Liu Quanyou deliver all the pork to the technical school.

Since the steamed bun shop hasn't opened yet, it's not a bad thing to let Liu Quanyou get familiar with it first.

"Xiao Li, I've got the business license you requested sorted out. Is our pork ready for today?"

Zhou Weiguo walked in with a smile, holding a food business license and a business permit in his hand.

With these two items, Li Hanliang could open his shop with peace of mind, no longer needing to worry about anyone causing trouble.

At the same time, Li Hanliang was also surprised by the speed at which Zhou Weiguo handled things, not expecting that the business license could be obtained in such a short time.

This shows that Zhou Weiguo has a very wide network of connections, and it is indeed very beneficial to associate with such a person.

“Brother Zhou, I’ve already prepared everything. There are three hundred portions of pork here. We’ll be here for the next couple of days, and I plan to prepare a little more.”

As he spoke, Li Hanliang began moving the meat products, preparing to carry them into the house.

"Haha, I knew you were reliable! Not bad, not bad, then let's add another hundred, that'll be enough!"

Seeing that Li Hanliang was willing to provide an extra hundred portions of pork, Zhou Weiguo's smile never stopped.

He has always had a keen eye, and this time it has further proven that his judgment was correct.

"Brother Zhou, you flatter me too much. All three hundred catties of pork today are yours as a token of my gratitude."

Li Hanliang understood that the cost of obtaining the license was still within the budget, but Zhou Weiguo probably paid for everything else himself.

For someone like Zhou Weiguo, that might just be a small amount of money, something he wouldn't care about.

But Li Hanliang knew that the key to maintaining a good friendship was sincerity.

Only sincerity can touch people's hearts and lead to friendships that can become lifelong companions.

"Oh dear, Xiao Li, you shouldn't say that. There's no need for us to say thank you."

Upon hearing that the other party wanted to give him something as a gift, Zhou Weiguo waved his hand to refuse. He was happy to help but did not want to take advantage of the situation.

"Please accept this gift, Brother Zhou, otherwise I will feel really bad. If you really refuse to accept it, I will be embarrassed to ask you for help again if I encounter difficulties in the future."

Li Hanliang insisted that Zhou Weiguo accept the gift of gratitude, determined to satisfy his brother today no matter what.

"Alright, alright, since you put it that way, I'll respectfully comply."

Upon receiving the important documents from the other party, a feeling of joy welled up in Li Hanliang's heart.

Despite having experienced his past life, he knew that the present was fundamentally different from the past.

In his previous lonely and isolated life, it seemed as if he was the only person left in the world.

Now I am surrounded by family and friends.

Everything was moving in a brighter direction, which strengthened Li Hanliang's resolve to make money.

He hopes to provide the best protection for everyone he cares about through his own efforts.

His passion for wealth was almost uncontrollable.

Nowadays, if you want to sell goods, you have to find sources of goods and travel around, which shows the importance of the information and intelligent age.

Back at the shop, Li Hanliang skillfully patched up the gap in the wall and then applied another layer of paint after it dried.

After these procedures, the wall surface became much whiter and smoother, and its overall quality was significantly improved.

It was nearly four o'clock when they finished, and the two left after a quick clean-up.

Now, everything is ready except for the final push; the next task is to prepare for the official opening.

……

At this time, the Pei family.

Old Pei sat on the sofa, holding a freshly brewed cup of tea. After taking a leisurely sip, he turned his gaze to Pei Shuxin, who was standing to the side.

"Do you know what happened today?" he asked slowly.

Pei Shuxin shook her head.

Old Master Pei smiled slightly.

"That little guy successfully brought Zhou Pengfei down."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuxin was startled.

Old Pei then recounted the whole story.

A strange sadness welled up in Pei Shuxin's heart, and she asked softly, "I don't understand... why didn't he call me for help in that situation?"

Seeing a hint of sorrow in his daughter's eyes, Old Master Pei sighed, "Xiao Xin, are you wondering why he ultimately chose to ask Zhou Meiping for help instead of you?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuxin's voice trembled slightly, "Am I not trustworthy enough? Am I not as good as Zhou Meiping?"

Old Pei put down his teacup and looked at Pei Shuxin, who was in low spirits, and said, "On the contrary, I admire this young man even more."

Pei Shuxin looked up, her face full of confusion. "Why is that, Grandpa?"

Mr. Pei explained, "Because throughout the entire process, he demonstrated great principle and integrity. Even when faced with immense pressure, he did not choose to take shortcuts or exploit connections, but instead relied on his own abilities to solve the problem."

As someone with a military background, Mr. Pei always spoke highly of such a young and determined individual.

"Moreover, I believe that people who can remain clear-headed and dare to take on challenges under such circumstances are very rare and very valuable."

Hearing these words, Pei Shuxin, who had been feeling down, brightened up a little and then asked, "So, do you think I can continue to be friends with him now?"

Faced with this question, Elder Pei remained silent for a moment before shaking his head.

"It's too early now. Although he is a respectable person, he still needs time to prove himself. At this stage, the two of you are in different situations and have different development directions, and there is a certain gap between you."

Pei Shuxin suddenly felt as if something was blocking her chest, an indescribable sense of loss filling her once more. Although she understood that there was some truth to what her grandfather said, she still couldn't completely let go of this feeling...

……

After returning home, Li Hanliang picked up a machete and skillfully cut the bamboo into thin strips of appropriate length for later use.

The bamboo strips needed to make the steamer baskets varied in size, so he began to weave the steamer frame based on his past memories.

Soon, the first model took shape, surprising everyone around.

"Brother Hanliang, when did you learn this amazing skill? We didn't even notice before."

The close interactions over the past few days have filled Liu Quanyou with respect for his boss, who never imagined that he possessed such a superb skill.

“I once saw other people demonstrate knitting techniques at home, and I followed along to learn. I never expected that it would actually come in handy now.”

"Truly a cultured person, he can master anything he learns. Not only is he a first-rate businessman, but his craftsmanship is also superb!"

Hearing the constant praise coming from the side, Liu Quanyou couldn't help but give Li Hanliang a thumbs up, praising him highly.

Seeing this, other villagers also joined in the praise.
