Lu Dongming instinctively wrapped his arms around the little one in his arms first before snapping his eyes open.
Seeing that the person in front of him was Hai Ling, he instinctively revealed a big smile and asked Hai Ling, ”Hai Ling, finished working? Can we go home now? Yangyang is all sleepy, I was holding him, trying to let him sleep for a while, and accidentally, I fell asleep too.”
Hai Ling retracted the hand that touched her son’s small face.
Lu Dongming reacted with a rather begrudging response, why did he react so slowly, he should have caught her hand first when she retracted her hand and let her touch his face ah.
Also, he was too light sleeper, he should have slept like a pig, maybe then Hai Ling would have secretly kissed him while he was asleep.
I wonder if it’s too late to pretend to be asleep?
“Finished with my work. Trouble for Mr Lu, helping me with Yangyang at this late hour.”
Lu Dongming said to her, “What’s the point of being so polite between you and me, I can’t even be happy that Yangyang is willing to follow me.”
At first, when he wanted to hug Yang Yang, Yang Yang didn’t even want him to hug him because of the scar on his face.
Until now, Lu Dongming did not do surgery to remove the scar on his face.
Hai Ling already knows the story of the scar on his face and understands the reason why he has kept the scar.
When I first met him, the scar on his face was quite scary.
Now that she’s used to seeing it, Hai Ling doesn’t think it’s scary, but rather, she always feels heartbroken, how painful it was when he was slashed in the first place.
“Is Mr Lu’s bodyguard still outside?”
Hai Ling asked gently.
Lu Dongming said, “Yes, my people are still here, he won’t leave.”
The night was even darker, as long as he was still in the restaurant, the bodyguards had to wait for him and send him home.
Hai Ling could also send him, but when it was late at night, Lu Dongming wouldn’t let Hai Ling send him, Hai Ling would send him home and then come back, the road wasn’t safe, he was worried about it.
Hai Ling went inside the cashier’s counter and got her own bag, then walked back and pushed Lu Dongming out.
“You’re exhausted today.”
Hai Ling said as she pushed him along, “Tired yes, but tired and happy.”
“I did some calculations and the profit is much bigger than my breakfast shop.”
“That’s natural, the main thing is that the business is good, even if the profit is not very high, many people come in to eat, and with a thin profit margin, you can make a lot of money just the same, the breakfast shop only has half a day’s business, and it doesn’t open in the afternoon and evening.”
“The business hours are also not as good as the restaurant, which can be compared to the profits of the restaurant.”
Hai Ling laughed, “That’s also true. I hope that all future business will be as hot as today’s, that way, within three years, I will be able to realise my dream of a star-rated hotel, and by that time, my hotel won’t be opened in Guancheng, and I’ll go to other cities to look into it and open it to other cities.”
Lu Dongming instinctively asked, “Why not in Guancheng?”
“The star hotels in Guancheng are too competitive, they can’t compete with the Guancheng Grand Hotel and my sister-in-law’s family’s hotel, and I don’t want to compete with both of them, what’s the sense of achievement in competing with your own people for business? I’m going to compete with others, and only when I win will I have a sense of achievement.”
Lu Dongming laughed harshly, “Not bad, that’s the reasoning. Guancheng can be said to be the world of War Yin’s family, you see I won’t even invest heavily in the hotel industry, I know I can’t compete with Guancheng Hotel, so I won’t invest heavily in that section, lest I lose money to myself.”
“You see your great aunt’s family’s hotels can’t even compare to the Guancheng Hotel’s, the hotels near the Guancheng Hotel, closed down one after another. It’s good that you have this awareness and cognition, let’s just go and steal business from others, not our own people.”
Hai Ling: “…… You don’t even dare to invest heavily in the hotel industry, should I, a newcomer to the industry, invest in hotels in the future? Or continue to operate restaurants and develop into a chain restaurant form?”
Lu Dongming said, “I suggest you in the short term, do not consider this, star hotels require a lot of capital, not hundreds of thousands, over a million can be resolved, if the operation does not work, at any time you can lose to you even the old capital.”
