Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

On that day, Cai Lan officially switched to Phoenix Film Company.

After completing the onboarding procedures, he received a task from Li Huai-ren, which was to simultaneously produce "The Big Boss" and "72 Tenants"!

In the following days, several restaurant chains, including Shunde Gong Food Stall, Qinfangyuan (sweet soup shop), Zhurou Rong Barbecue, Caidiezhai (bread), and Little Prince Breakfast, opened and began operations one after another.

Like Haidilao and "Shunde Lao" Radish and Beef Offal Shop, all branches of these newly opened chain stores have the same decoration style, the same dishes, the same food taste, and the same uniforms for the waiters.

Ye San Niang has been extremely busy lately.

Li Huai-ren's San Niang Catering Company offered her shares, which she refused. However, she gladly accepted the position of consultant for San Niang Catering Company and provided various recipes to numerous chain stores free of charge without reservation.

She also serves as an advisor to Haidilao and other chain stores jointly established by San Niang Catering Company and Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars.

When Third Sister gets busy, it's naturally difficult for her to take care of things at home.

Considering that Xiaoyaoju would eventually need to hire a batch of workers to manage it, Li Huai-ren advised Ye San-niang to quickly hire some maids to help her.

Ye San Niang was kind-hearted, so the next day she hired Zhou Sao, an old acquaintance she used to meet every day at the market entrance who was carrying her daughter and collecting cardboard. Then she went to a housekeeping company and hired five maids.

These five maids are all live-in maids, but Mrs. Zhou has to come to work early every morning and go home after get off work in the afternoon because she has to take care of her mother-in-law and her four-year-old daughter.

Ye San Niang had known Zhou Sao for several years and was quite familiar with her, so she trusted her more. Therefore, she made Zhou Sao the foreman of several maids, who was responsible for helping her prepare ingredients, clean the kitchen, and the second floor of the villa.

That evening, Li Huai-ren and Leslie Cheung, who was on summer vacation and studying music under Joseph Koo, returned home together. When Li Huai-ren first saw Mrs. Chow, he felt that she looked familiar, like someone, but he couldn't remember who she looked like.

It was during dinner with Ye San Niang and Zhang Guorong that he learned some information about Zhou Sao from Ye San Niang, discovering that she didn't live there and had to go home every night to take care of her mother-in-law and daughter.

Upon learning that Zhou Sao's family was in dire straits, and that the entire family relied solely on her income to pay rent and make ends meet, Li Huai-ren said to Ye San-niang:

"Third Aunt, please tell Aunt Zhou that if she doesn't mind the leftovers we ate, she can pack them up and take them home with her."

By the way, it's not very convenient for her to move in with her mother-in-law and daughter right now. Once the annex next door is finished, you can let her move in with her mother-in-law and daughter.

Tell her it's okay.

Third Sister, Xiaoyao Residence is too big. Master said it needs people to liven it up. The more people, the more lively it is, the better, the more prosperous it will be.

Ye San Niang smiled and agreed.

Leslie Cheung glanced at Li Huai-ren and remarked:

"Brother, it's just a place to live, is it necessary to make it as big as a palace?"

"Do you think you're the emperor? You need such a huge place to house your three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines..."

At this point, he suddenly paused, startled:

"Huh, the three palaces, it seems that the candidates for the three palaces have already been chosen. The main palace is Qingxia, and the two concubines are Deng Lijun as Concubine Deng and Zhao Yazhi as Concubine Zhao."

By the way, who are the people in the Sixth Hospital...?

Li Huai-ren and Ye San-niang were taken aback, and Ye San-niang immediately interrupted him:

"Ten-zai, eat your food and stop talking nonsense!"

In the kitchen, Aunt Zhou, who was cleaning, felt a warmth in her heart and her eyes reddened when she heard Li Huai-ren ask her to pack up the food and take it home.

She was very grateful to Li Huai Ren and Ye San Niang. In fact, Ye San Niang had deliberately cooked extra portions tonight, saying that she should take the leftovers home. In reality, the three lunch boxes in the kitchen were already full of the leftover food from when the food was cooked.

Then, when she heard Leslie Cheung mention something about "three palaces and six courtyards," she sighed inwardly.

"Sigh, after my daughter grows up, I hope she can meet a good family like the young master, and not suffer poverty and hardship like her useless mother. That would be wonderful."

Around 7 p.m., in an old tenement building in To Kwa Wan, Kowloon, a chubby little girl sat on the steps at the entrance, nestled in the arms of an elderly woman of about fifty years old, her eyes fixed on the bus stop a few dozen meters away.

Every time a minibus or small bus pulled into the station, she would quickly stand up, stare at the station, and search for a familiar figure.

She was filled with hope time and time again, only to be disappointed again and again. But whenever a minibus or small bus pulled up, she would immediately stand up and search anxiously.

Seeing her disappointment once again, the old woman beside her smiled, reached out and patted her little head, and said:

"Xiaomin, I've told you so many times, your mommy has found a good job, she'll come home naturally after get off work, there's no use in you being anxious."

The little girl didn't turn her head, still staring at the station, and said:

"Grandma, Mommy used to take me everywhere she went..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly stood up, let out a sharp "Ah!", and, with her short legs, pounced towards the station.

"Mommy, Mommy~"

The little girl was calling for her mother, and Zhou Sao immediately squatted down, put down the large plastic bag she was carrying, and caught her daughter who was rushing towards her.

"Xiaomin!"

"Mommy, why are you only coming back now? I missed you so much!" The little girl pressed her slightly chubby face against Aunt Zhou's chest, hugging her tightly, and said with a hint of tears in her eyes.

Aunt Zhou reached out and patted her little head, saying affectionately:

"Silly girl, Mommy went to work and will be back after get off work."

Come on, let's go home. Mommy has met a great boss. He lets me bring food back from his house every day.

From now on, Mommy won't have to cook dinner when she gets home...

On this day, the little girl nicknamed Xiaomin ate a meal that tasted incredibly delicious for the first time;

The first time I heard the name Li Huai Ren from my mother was no, it was Li Huai Ren.

The little girl's thoughts were simple. Her mother said that the young master Li Huai-ren was good to her mother and to her, and that he had given her food that tasted incredibly good, which she had never eaten before. As a result, she had a very good impression of Li Huai-ren!

Before we knew it, it was already the end of June.

To Li Huai-ren's surprise, he created chain stores like Haidilao, which were ubiquitous in the past but not yet available in Hong Kong, directly igniting the passion of Hong Kong citizens for food. All the chain stores were incredibly successful!

Li Huai-ren immediately instructed Jin Zijin Real Estate Company to purchase the shop and open it for business as soon as possible after renovations.

The booming business of these chain stores naturally attracted the attention of criminal organizations such as 14K and Wo Shing Wo.

Li Huai-ren immediately convened a secret meeting of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars to discuss how to respond.
