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

Li Hanliang was somewhat surprised. "You mean, this shop is worth eight thousand? Two floors, about five hundred square meters?"

He knew long ago that prices were incredibly low in this era, but seeing it firsthand still gave him a different feeling.

What lies before Li Hanliang is a street-facing shop. Judging by its size, the ground floor alone is about 220 to 230 square meters, and with the upstairs and basement, it has an area of ​​at least 500 square meters.

And such a large storefront is only 8,000 yuan!

It's not even as expensive as a single floor tile in a first-tier city in the 21st century.

"But..." Li Hanliang, surprised, scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, "Three thousand yuan, where am I supposed to rob someone from?"

He's doing better now than before, but it's still impossible for him to come up with three thousand yuan at once.

Li Hanliang touched his wallet; it contained two hundred yuan, all the cash he had.

If you include the portion of funds in Xiaoliangzhuang that he can mobilize, it's at most two thousand yuan.

"Forget it, haste makes waste," Li Hanliang said, looking at the storefront in front of him. "Let's wait another month."

"Wait a month?" Zhou Meiping said anxiously. "Li Hanliang, what are you thinking? There are less than two months until the New Year. Are you going to drag it out until next year?"

Li Hanliang took a deep breath and made a decision. "Of course I won't wait until the New Year. But I have to wait this month."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Zhou Meiping and Liu Lanfang caught up with them.

Liu Lanfang whispered, "Boss, do you not have any money?"

"I...I have two hundred here, I can give it to you!"

She said "take," not "borrow."

The boss had been incredibly kind to her; she would gladly give him anything, even if it were five hundred yuan, let alone two hundred.

Li Hanliang was amused by her and couldn't help but pat her head. "Silly girl, don't worry, your boss has plenty of money."

However, he was wondering if it was worthwhile to buy it now for eight thousand yuan.

It's not time for housing prices to take off yet, and many business people are short of money as the year draws to a close. If he can hold on and prolong the time, he can save at least another thousand yuan by the end of the year.

Zhou Meiping was furious. She glared at Li Hanliang and said angrily, "You're just putting on a show! If you don't have money, just say you don't have money. What are you pretending to be, this rich boss?"

"Think what you want." Li Hanliang was too lazy to argue with this woman.

He knew this woman had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so as long as he understood that Zhou Meiping wasn't fundamentally bad, that was enough.

As for what the woman wants to say, let her say it.

"This is utterly unreasonable!" Zhou Meiping was at her wits' end with Li Hanliang, and stamped her foot. "Fine, I won't say any more to you. One month, just one month! I won't wait a single day longer!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and stormed off.

Liu Lanfang was taken aback by her impulsive personality. She watched her leave with a puzzled look, then looked at Li Hanliang in surprise, "Boss, why is she angry?"

“I don’t know either,” Li Hanliang shook his head, then instructed his obedient general manager, “Just know that you must take this as a warning and not follow her example.”

He already has a lot of headaches because of the emotional woman in his life.

If it weren't for Zhou Meiping's two acts of saving the hero, he would have permanently blocked her long ago.

The incident at the steamed bun shop alarmed the Pei family.

To Li Hanliang's surprise, Pei Jianjun actually came with Pei Shuxin this time.

Pei Shuxin was still gentle and considerate. As soon as she entered the room, she checked on Li Hanliang's condition. Seeing that he had no injuries and was in good spirits, she was relieved.

"That Jing Wenqiang is really too much! With the Jing family around, I don't think Anfeng County will have a good life." Pei Shuxin sat on the chair angrily.

Pei Jianjun looked around and shook his head. "I don't think this kind of small business is a long-term solution for you."

“Have you ever heard of a restaurant hiring security guards? Have you ever heard of a steamed bun shop hiring security guards?” He adopted the attitude of a teacher. “But given how troublesome the Jing family is, if your shop wants to be stable, you must hire security guards.”

"So, you need to expand your business as soon as possible. How about I invest in you and we open a restaurant?"

After observing him closely for the past two days, he realized that Li Hanliang was indeed a promising talent.

This man's only weakness is his arrogance. So if I can find an opportunity to firmly control Li Hanliang, this problem will be easy to solve.

Pei Jianjun's thinking was that he had money in his hands, while Li Hanliang had a business mind. As long as he was willing to invest in Li Hanliang, Li Hanliang would be nothing more than a worm in his palm, completely at his mercy.

"This... Brother Jianjun, you're late." Within just one hour, two people wanted to invest in him, which really flattered Li Hanliang. However, the truth was, "I've already made a deal with someone else, so you really don't have a chance."

“You!” Pei Jianjun suddenly stood up.

The fact that he even made this suggestion was already a huge favor to Li Hanliang!

Now look what's happened! Li Hanliang has become arrogant and smug with him!

"Brother!" Pei Shuxin felt a headache coming on.

"Didn't we agree to come and help Hanliang today?"

She had told Pei Jianjun several times before she left that he shouldn't argue with Li Hanliang and shouldn't say anything was wrong. The two siblings had come today mainly to comfort Li Hanliang.

Unexpectedly, his brother's stubborn temper flared up again.

“You…” Pei Jianjun pointed at Pei Shuxin again, “You good-for-nothing!”

"Li Hanliang, the fact that you dared to refuse me, Pei Jianjun, today shows that you don't respect the Pei family at all!"

Pei Jianjun pointed fiercely at Li Hanliang, "You're dreaming if you think you can get into the Pei family!"

After he finished speaking, he slammed the door shut and left.

Li Hanliang shook his head, suddenly feeling that his life was so bitter.

In a lifetime, most people might only encounter three or five hot-tempered individuals, but he encounters two at the same time, a mixed doubles of men and women.

“Shuxin, I… I’m just telling the truth. This has nothing to do with disrespecting the Pei family. Besides,” Li Hanliang wanted to say—I really want to enter the Pei family, but of course he didn’t dare to say it out loud, “I really don’t want to accept your brother’s favor. It makes it seem like I’m taking advantage of your family.”

He's a man of principle; he would never be willing to live off a woman!

“I understand, Wallace, you are a good man.” Pei Shuxin looked at him emotionally.

At this moment, the man standing before her was the most virtuous and admirable person she had ever met in her life.

"Shuxin, it's enough that you understand me..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Li Hanliang held Pei Shuxin's hand tightly.

An ambiguous atmosphere lingered between the two, and Li Hanliang couldn't help but lower his head, wanting to kiss her.

"oops!"

Just then, Liu Lanfang, who had gone out to buy autumn vegetables, ran in untimely.
