Rebirth 07: Starting with Saving a Bankrupt Restaurant

Upon hearing her son's words, Zhang Mo nodded slightly.

If Zhou Wen could accompany us for a walk, that would be wonderful.

After confirming that everything inside the restaurant had been taken care of, the door was locked.

Then I took the two elders for a walk around the neighborhood, and while we were at it, we looked to see if there was anything they wanted to buy.

To be honest, just taking a simple walk like this made Zhou Wen feel much more relaxed.

The whole afternoon was spent taking the two elderly people to some crowded places for a casual stroll.

When the restaurant was about to open, it was time to go back to the restaurant.

"You can go back first, your dad and I will look around some more," Zhang Mo said, waving her hand.

Seeing that Zhou Wen seemed a little uneasy, he added, "Why are you worried about the two of us? We'll be going back later."

Zhou Wen nodded and didn't say anything more.

When they returned to the restaurant, Shi Ying and Shi Ling were already busy there.

On the way back, Zhou Wen bought the two of them two cups of milk tea and some snacks.

"You've worked hard, have something to eat first." Zhou Wen put the food on the table, asking the two of them to stop what they were doing and have something to eat.

Shi Ying sipped her milk tea, enjoying her afternoon tea time.

"Have Auntie and Uncle left?" Shi Ling asked.

"He's still out. He'll probably come back for a meal and then leave," Zhou Wen said.

The restaurant opened at five o'clock, and the two elderly people returned to the restaurant about ten minutes later.

The two ordered some simple food, and after finishing their meal, they prepared to leave.

"Take good care of yourself. If anything happens, call us back and let us know," Zhang Mo said thoughtfully, straightening Zhou Wen's collar.

Zhou Wen nodded.

"No need to take us, it's just a short distance, and we've already found a car..."

After the two elders left, Zhou Wen was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, but he quickly composed himself and continued working.

……

"Boss, let's go."

Shi Ying waved her hand in greeting.

"Okay, go ahead. Be careful on your way back." Zhou Wen nodded with a smile.

After everyone left, Zhou Wen, as usual, looked around the entire first floor to see if there was anything wrong.

After confirming, I stretched my body.

The arrival of the two elders today, coupled with the family of three going for a walk together in the afternoon, made Zhou Wen's mood quite good all day.

I really should find some time to go back and visit. Even though the restaurant is busy, I can't just never go back to visit.

It's really not good to always have two elderly people come to visit me.

However, we'll have to wait until September. During the summer vacation in July and August, which are the two months with the highest traffic, we naturally can't take a break.

The increase in restaurant traffic over the past month is partly due to the holiday break.

There were also many students present.

The restaurant remained quiet and bustling for the next half day.

Because of the delivery work, the electric scooter was left at noon so that Shan Wei could practice more.

I rode my bike around a few times to familiarize myself with the route.

It doesn't take too long; once you get back to the restaurant, you can park your electric scooter and then have your meal.

Shan Wei is used to eating after driving practice; otherwise, if he eats too much, he feels uncomfortable while practicing driving again...

……

"Excuse me, now..."

The speaker was Shan Wei, who was cleaning up the trash he had left behind after finishing his meal. He spoke up when he saw the guests arrive.

As for why he only said half of what he wanted to say, it was because after seeing who it was, he swallowed the rest of his sentence.

The reason is that the person who came seemed too beautiful, putting aside her appearance for now.

But his outfit and style really stunned Shan Wei.

She was dressed very fashionably, in a style that Shan Wei had never seen before.

Although Ren Xuan knows how to dress up, compared to the person in front of her, Ren Xuan's outfit seems to make her look a bit childish.

Hmm, it's a bit like a small fry compared to a big fish.

The person who came was wearing a light khaki classic British style trench coat with a fitted waist, a lapel, double-breasted design, a belted waist, and a length that went past the knees with an excellent drape.

For the inner layer, she wore a solid-color thin turtleneck knit top, paired with black high-waisted straight-leg suit trousers and simple loafers.

He had a retro square bag slung over his shoulder and wore a pair of black-rimmed sunglasses.

There were no other decorations, only pearl earrings on her ears.

Living in a small county town, Shan Wei had never seen this kind of outfit before and didn't know how to bring it up.

Dan Wei's cheeks flushed slightly, and he unconsciously looked away.

Then, as if remembering something, he quickly went to the kitchen: "Boss, we have guests."

Zhou Wen was also taken aback, then said, "Isn't the store closed now? Just let the customers know when they arrive."

Dan Wei scratched his pants and said, "Boss, why don't you go out and take a look?"

Zhou Wen glanced at Shan Wei with some doubt, then walked out of the kitchen.

Upon arriving at the lobby, they saw the guest that Shan Wei had mentioned.

It must be said that even Zhou Wen, who had lived a long life and seen many storms, was taken aback when he saw the lady standing at the door.

Although this kind of outfit is very common in later generations, it has to be said that fashion is a matter of personal preference, and people have become accustomed to the style of this era.

This startled Zhou Wen, but he quickly recovered.

Not to mention that the newcomer was a stunningly beautiful woman with a sophisticated air and a head of Hong Kong-style wavy hair.

The bridge of the nose is delicate and straight, and the tip of the nose is small and round; the lips are of moderate thickness and full shape.

The overall structure is very soft.

The woman also walked into the restaurant's lobby when she saw Zhou Wen.

Then he spoke up, "Boss?"

He speaks with a slightly soft, Cantonese accent at the end, and his pronunciation is rather light.

Just from that tone, Zhou Wen knew without a doubt that they were from Hong Kong or Macau.

In daily life, you can often encounter people from Hong Kong and Macau on the streets of Fujian Province. They are actually quite easy to tell just by their language and tone of voice.

Zhou Wen nodded and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Come eat."

Zhou Wen frowned slightly and said, "The restaurant is closed now. If you want to eat, you can come back in the afternoon. The sign at the door shows the daily opening hours."

However, the person seemed not to hear them and sat down after finding a seat.

"Does the boss have a menu?"

"Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now?" Shan Wei said quietly from the side.

Zhou Wen nodded and said, "Okay, you go back first, and be careful on your way back."

Before leaving, Shan Wei secretly glanced at the stunning Hong Kong-style beauty. Whether out of shyness or fear of being discovered, he immediately looked away after the first glance.

After Shan Wei left, only Zhou Wen and this Hong Kong-style beauty remained in the restaurant.
