I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

Lu Dashan sat quietly at the table, enjoying the atmosphere before him.

My son has grown up.

Previously, Lu Zhaoyang lived in the southern part of the city. Although the physical distance wasn't too far, he rarely came home.

Such an experience, where the father and son sit together and share a beer, is extremely rare.

Lu Dashan felt very satisfied.

But then he was shocked by the sudden news from his son.

"Yangyang, you just said... you opened a restaurant?"

Zhang Shuying was also stunned.

The couple exchanged a glance, and as was their habit, she spoke first, asking incredulously.

"Yes, the hotel."

Lu Zhaoyang nodded slowly but firmly.

"You opened it as a partnership?"

"right."

"You mean one of those small restaurants?"

Lu Zhaoyang pondered for a moment.

He needs to visualize the "small restaurant" his mother mentioned and compare it with their actual shops in order to answer the question.

In terms of grandeur, their restaurants certainly can't compare to large hotels and restaurants.

Objectively speaking, however, 400 square meters is definitely not a small area in a county town.

The key point is that their main business is barbecue, and they can set up outdoor stalls in the summer, making their business scale much larger than it actually is.

This time he wasn't overly modest, and honestly laughed, "It's not too small."

"Not too small..."

Zhang Shuying muttered to herself, thinking to herself that she also needed to convert the numbers.

A moment of silence fell over the room as the couple struggled to process the somewhat sudden news.

Lu Zhaoyang didn't rush to speak and leisurely took a sip of draft beer.

But his mother's overly cautious questioning nearly made him spit out his drink.

"Is it one of those restaurants you see on the street?"

Although Lu Zhaoyang didn't spit it out, he still choked a little. He wiped his mouth with a wry smile and said, "Mom, you can keep asking, but my answer will never change. That's right, it's a restaurant, the kind of restaurant you see outside where people eat."

Zhang Shuying nodded blankly, wanting to say something, but hesitated.

Lu Dashan, who had remained silent, had a calm expression, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.

Lu Zhaoyang wasn't too surprised by his father's reaction.

But his mother, who was always sentimental, didn't show any joy upon hearing the news, which surprised him.

After a moment, Lu Dashan finally spoke, his tone filled with worry: "Why did you suddenly decide to open a restaurant? You've never done this before, and running a restaurant isn't easy."

Lu Zhaoyang was not at all surprised by his father's worries; they were exactly what he had expected.

He felt that the older generation seemed to like to worry excessively and overthink things.

In the past, he would have been anxious to explain his thoughts immediately, convince his parents, and prove that he was definitely right.

But it's different now.

He had a different mindset, which made him more composed, allowing him to put himself in the shoes of the sanitation workers and understand his parents' thoughts.

Of course.

What he truly hoped for was to see the shocked expressions on his parents' faces when he finally revealed the restaurant's operating status.

You have to understand, these past few days his mind has been nearly blown off by a string of astonishing data.

Apart from Wei Kai, he has never truly let go of his concerns and revealed them.

Just as he was secretly looking forward to it, Lu Zhaoyang inadvertently caught a glimpse of worry deep in his mother's eyes.

In an instant, Lu Zhaoyang felt as if he had been struck by something, and a blockage in his heart seemed to slowly dissipate and collapse.

Lu Zhaoyang seemed to have grasped something in his heart.

He remembered something that had puzzled him for a long time.

Both my parents came from rural areas; they were the kind of farmers who could be considered role models.

Their income was not high, and they lived a very simple life.

Even under these circumstances, they managed to raise two children and successfully send both of them to university.

Perhaps the food and clothing we ate and wore when we were young weren't very good.

However, he never lacked care and love, and received the best education he could from a young age until he graduated from university.

He had acquired the ability to establish himself in the city.

In addition, his parents had quietly saved up several hundred thousand yuan for him, which was intended to help him get married and buy a house.

He used to be very curious about how they managed to save up so much money.

This is comparable to Ultraman's "money power" for the younger generation.

Unbelievable!

Lu Zhaoyang suddenly understood.

He felt that he should have realized this sooner.

Lu Zhaoyang looked at the cheap beer in the corner and the clothes his parents had worn for years and couldn't bear to throw away.

They saved every penny to accumulate hundreds of thousands in savings.

They were old-fashioned and conservative, but it was precisely because of their conservatism that they were able to earn enough money in peace to support their education and the growth of their younger brother.

They seemed to have sealed themselves away, and all their energy seemed to be dedicated to the next generation.

Lu Zhaoyang realized that this enormous sacrifice and this great power moved him, but he couldn't help feeling somewhat apprehensive.

Lu Zhaoyang put away his boastful thoughts and said frankly, "Dad, you're underestimating the situation. The restaurant business is indeed difficult. Not to mention small towns, even in big cities, many businesses close down and go out of business. The current environment is really tough."

Unlike before, Lu Zhaoyang did not rush to express his opinions or try to persuade his father as soon as he heard any doubts.

Lu Dashan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

His previously tense expression relaxed somewhat.

His concern was that his son knew nothing and might open a shop based on hearsay or impulsive decisions.

The fact that he could say that at least indicates it wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

"If you know this isn't easy, why did you start it? We've never done this before. Do you think your partner understands?" Zhang Shuying knew what her husband was thinking and asked the question for him without even having to talk to him.

"That's right, Mom, I, as your partner, know what I'm doing!"

Lu Zhaoyang laughed and said, "The market is bad right now, the overall environment is bad, and it's not easy to do anything. But no matter how bad things are, there are always some businesses that are doing well. Not all restaurants on the street can lose money; there are plenty of profitable ones."

"Of course, they have plenty of profitable restaurants. Why would they work so hard to open a shop if they weren't making money?"

Zhang Shuying chimed in, then pressed further, "Who's the partner? Did you know them before? You opened the shop together, what's their character like? We don't want to cheat them, but we also need to be careful not to get cheated ourselves."

The couple tacitly avoided asking about the funds at all.

They knew that Lu Zhaoyang had a million yuan, and even if he bought a house, they thought it wouldn't be a problem for him to open a restaurant.

Their concern was that their son, suddenly having so much money, might act rashly without thinking things through, or even be fooled.
