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

I looked through each room one by one.

Lu Zhaoyang checked the time; it was almost eight o'clock, time for dinner.

"Dad, Mom, do you want to rest for a while? We'll go eat later, and you can also check out the restaurant we opened."

The moment the topic of visiting their son's restaurant came up, the couple lost all interest in relaxing.

Zhang Shuying said without hesitation, "No need to rest, let's go now and take a look."

"Alright, let's go then."

Lu Zhaoyang could guess what his parents were thinking, so he didn't delay any longer.

They came out of the house and returned to the yard.

Zhang Shuying took one last longing look at the beautiful kitchen. If she weren't so eager to see her son's restaurant, she would have loved to cook a meal there herself.

Lu Zhaoyang noticed his mother's gaze and gave her a deep look as well.

I used to think it looked good, but now it's not quite the same.

For a mother who has cooked for her family of four for decades, this kitchen seems particularly appealing.

That alone makes this kitchen worthwhile.

Lu Zhaoyang drove his parents to Guanlan Community.

After parking their car on the side of the road, Zhang Shuying and her husband got out and looked up, instantly stunned.

"Yangyang, is this... the restaurant you mentioned that you opened with someone else?"

Since they had stopped here, Zhang Shuying knew the answer was most likely yes, but she still couldn't help but stare in astonishment and ask.

The four large red characters "A Xiang Barbecue" were particularly eye-catching above their heads.

Of course, it's not just the signboard itself that's eye-catching.

It also suffers from its isolation; none of its neighboring shops have opened yet.

Of course, there's also a lively area: the small square outside the store is filled with neatly arranged outdoor tables and chairs.

Every table was packed with guests, and the place was bustling with noise.

The aroma of grilled skewers mingled with the smell of food wafted towards you.

The bustling and crowded scene was particularly eye-catching.

There were just too many people.

She had expected business to be good, but the scene before her eyes was better than she had imagined.

"Do we have to wait for our food?"

When Zhang Shuying heard a number being called, this scene undoubtedly refreshed her understanding once again.

Lu Dashan remained silent, his gaze falling on a scrolling red subtitle on the shop sign.

The sign reads: "To celebrate the grand opening of our new store, we thank you for your patronage and support. Due to the large number of diners exceeding our service capacity, we suggest that customers who are unable to find a table come back another time for the best dining experience. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

His wife was illiterate.

He really wanted to tell her that the store not only had long queues, but also forced people out.

"Yes, there are more people here because of the opening promotions."

Seeing his mother's surprised expression, Lu Zhaoyang, oblivious to her Versailles-like reassurance, said, "It should get better in a few days."

There are actually fewer tables set up outdoors now than in the first two days after the store opened.

This was Su Rui's decision; she had announced the news in the group chat.

The reason is that although the space in front of their store is large enough, theoretically they could easily add more tables.

Adding tables is easy, but their kitchen's capacity to accommodate guests is limited.

If customers sit down but their food takes a long time to arrive, it can severely damage the store's reputation.

Therefore, Su Rui made a resolute decision: instead of increasing the number of items, she removed some.

To ensure the best possible dining experience for our customers.

Li Jianxiang was very supportive of this decision, and Lu Zhaoyang had even less objection.

However, Lu Zhaoyang underestimated the Chinese people's tendency to join in the fun.

Perhaps some customers have been successfully deterred for the time being, but it seems there are still plenty of people willing to wait.

"Yangyang, did you really open this place with someone?"

Zhang Shuying still couldn't quite believe it. "Are you really the boss?"

The couple worked diligently in the village their whole lives, and it was already a great source of pride that they raised their two children to go on to university.

They never imagined that their son would suddenly become the owner of such a large restaurant.

This is so wonderful, it feels like a dream.

"Mom, it couldn't be more true. It's definitely true that your son is one of the bosses."

Looking at the busy waiters, Lu Dashan, now that his son was the boss, had no appetite for food. He said, "You see how busy we are, let your mother and I help out. Is there anything we can do?"

"Yes, yes, at a time like this, why are we eating? Helping with the work is the priority..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuying immediately echoed, then asked doubtfully, "Yangyang, you're the boss. You're already so busy, is it reasonable for you to just ignore everything? If you're partnering with someone, won't they have objections?"

Lu Zhaoyang was both amused and exasperated: "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, you don't need to. We have enough manpower. You wouldn't even know what you could do if you got involved, and you'd need someone to supervise you, which would only slow people down. As for me being so free..."

"Actually, I only invested money in this store. As a partner, I manage it. Professionals do professional things. I don't usually get involved. I'm just waiting to get my share of the profits."

Split the money?

Zhang Shuying's curiosity was piqued by this word.

With such a busy shop, she doesn't even dare to imagine how much money she can make.

However, she suppressed her curiosity and didn't ask.

Although no one overheard their conversation, people still didn't easily talk about money in public.

"Is it that girl?"

Zhang Shuying pointed to Su Rui, who was standing at the store entrance, constantly going in and out and directing the scene.

This girl has a capable and confident aura; she looks like a leader.

Lu Zhaoyang glanced at Su Rui and lowered his voice to explain, "This is the lobby manager. The partner is in the kitchen; he's a chef by trade and oversees the kitchen."

"oh."

"Mom and Dad, wait a moment, I'll go ask them to arrange a table."

Lu Zhaoyang didn't actually like using this privilege, but these were his parents, and he couldn't bear to let them wait here idly.

Just as he was about to walk over, Lu Dashan reached out and stopped his son: "No rush, everyone else is waiting, let's wait too. We're not that hungry."

"Yes, yes, let's wait. We shouldn't cut in line like this."

"This might take a while!"

Lu Zhaoyang hesitated for a moment.

"It's alright, we've prepared some sunflower seeds."

Zhang Shuying and Lu Dashan looked at a small table to the side, where popcorn and sunflower seeds were indeed placed.

Zhang Shuying couldn't understand why even the most delicious food was worth queuing for.

Unless, of course, this is a restaurant owned by her son.

Of course she had to wait.

I'm happy even if I don't eat anything, and I'm happy waiting.

Lu Dashan, who never eats snacks, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and popcorn and handed them to his wife.

The two sat side by side on small stools, chatting idly with their heads down, their eyes occasionally glancing at the people eating.

The joy in their eyes was undisguised.

Lu Zhaoyang watched this scene quietly.

Suddenly, he realized that he had made his parents proud once again.
