Chapter 168
"Li Man declined Chen Xiaohui's kind offer, but Chen Xiaohui said, 'Sixteen percent of the shares are too little, it's meaningless. If you're unwilling to lend me money, then go find someone else to borrow from.'
Li Man thought about it and realized Chen Xiaohui was right, so she borrowed 40,000 yuan from Gu Ya.
Because there were transfer fees and booth rental fees to be paid, the monthly booth rental fee was 1,500 yuan, which amounted to 18,000 yuan per year. In addition, they also needed to buy barbecue equipment and various miscellaneous items, which added up to several tens of thousands of yuan.
And so, Li Man and Chen Xiaohui's barbecue stall finally took shape.
With this booth, Li Man felt that her life had a direction.
On the day of the opening, Li Man called Huo Jian Sheng and asked him to come and show his support.
Now, she truly regarded Huo Jian Sheng as a friend.
Although the night market didn't open until 5 p.m., the preparations in the early stages were very tedious.
Early in the morning, Li Man and Chen Xiaohui went to the market to buy the freshest meat and vegetables.
Huo Jian Sheng arrived early and blended in with the crowd, watching Li Man go from being flustered and chaotic at the beginning to being confident and skilled later. He sincerely admired her.
Although she was extremely busy, her face always wore a smile.
That smile was infectious and anyone who saw it couldn't help but stop and see what delicious things she had on her stall.
After watching for a while, Huo Jian Sheng finally walked over.
Li Man was delighted to see him. 'You're here! Order whatever you want to eat, my treat.'"
"Huo Jian Sheng smiled and said, 'I'm here to show my support on your opening day, how can I let you treat me? Let's skip it for today, and you can treat me another time.'
Li Man giggled and replied, 'Alright then, thank you. What would you like to eat? I'll grill it for you. My ingredients are absolutely fresh, so you can eat without any worries.'
Huo Jian Sheng ordered almost everything, and Li Man asked, 'Are you going to finish all of that?'
Huo Jian Sheng replied, 'I'll take some back home for my family, so don't worry. There won't be any food wasted.'"
