Chapter 168 The Favors Are All Debts

On January 1, 1999, Lu Ze’s parents came back on New Year’s Day.

Although the bun shop is at its busiest time, six counties are now operating at the same time. The bun shops in the city and Jianyi City were officially opened before the New Year's Eve.

This time, the number of stores of [Juewei Baozi] has expanded directly to nearly 40, which has put a lot of pressure on the entire management team.

The operating mechanism planned by Lu Ze before showed its power at this time. The entire [Juewei Baozi] business was not only not overwhelmed, but also constantly adjusted and adapted. Employee recruitment and training are accelerating, and management talents are also increasing accordingly.

However, as the business progresses rapidly, the cash flow of the bun shop is a bit unable to keep up with the speed of opening a store. Lu Ze immediately paid [Juewei Baozi] a temporary fund for opening a store from [Shiguang] Cultural and Creative Company.

It’s not that the business of [Juewei Baozi] is too big to make money, but that the money business recycles investment costs and takes time. The store opening speed cannot be reduced, otherwise it will delay the rapid layout strategy set before.

Tao Jiayu, the financial department of [Juewei Baozi], felt no pressure when she saw this fund. She had been under great pressure before for the management and use of funds.

We must ensure the operating funds of [Juewei Baozi], ensure the investment funds for opening a store quickly, and ensure the salary of all employees. The cash flow of selling Baozi every day is immediately recovered through local banks.

Even so, the financial pressure is still very high, and she wishes to spend a penny in half.

But Lu Ze easily transferred 300,000 yuan from another company and told her not to be too stressed. She could transfer it at any time without money, so that she must fully support the progress of opening a store.

With the boss's words, what else was she worried about? She no longer felt like she was restrained. She let go of her hands and feet and made great efforts.

Xinwu County, Jianchang County in Yuanzhou City, Haihun County in Xunyang City, Yugan County in Guangxin City, and bun shops in these four counties are also being selected simultaneously.

It should be opened at the same time in half a month. At that time, [Juewei Baozi] will complete the development of all ten counties around the provincial capital. After the New Year, we will directly use the strength of ten counties to enter the provincial capital.

Even though the bun shop is so busy, even if my parents are not as busy as before, they still need to inspect the local area. They are worried about the business of the bun shops in various places, for fear of making some mistakes and smashing the signature of [Juewei Baozi].

However, today is the first day of the New Year, and Lu Jianjun and Xu Fangping still wanted to come back and the three of them were reunited.

Just when the couple was about to buy some vegetables and the whole family had a good meal, their second uncle Xu Dachuan came here.

"Sister, brother-in-law, stop buying vegetables. Let's go to my house to eat. Chunyan cooked a large table of vegetables, and Xiaoshan and Dongmei will come later." Xu Dachuan greeted with a smile.

Lu Jianjun and Xu Fangping were still waiting to decline, but Xu Dachuan invited him warmly, so they had to agree.

Lu Ze doesn't care, he can eat anywhere. Anyway, the skills of the Xu family are trained by Mr. Xu, and the food they make is delicious.

Whether it is the second or third aunt, she has learned the true knowledge of cooking. She went through the test before marrying into the old Xu family.

If you want to be the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, you have to pass the cooking training first. Only when Mr. Xu is satisfied can he agree to enter. He also hopes that his two daughters-in-law can pass on this craft.

Unfortunately, my second and third uncles are not good at it, and they all live in their daughters.

Mr. Xu kept urging them to give birth to another one to carry out so as to inherit his old man's legacy.

However, the family planning was strictly carried out in those years, and this matter was delayed. In addition, the times have developed and the concepts have changed, and the two granddaughters are so cute that they are tightly cute. The old man's obsession has also been let go in recent years.

When Lu Ze came to his second uncle's house, he saw a large table full of delicious food.

There are even a few exclusive dishes handed over by Mr. Xu, who have never taught him even Lu Ze’s mother. This has caused Xu Fangping to blame him for his old-fashionedness and conservativeness. He is still a man who is not a woman in his era.

When Lu Ze first found out, he found it funny. He taught his daughter-in-law not to teach his daughter-in-law, and he didn't know what he thought. The old man's stubborn idea was also so cute.

"Cousin!" Xu Lingling was very well-behaved this time and took the initiative to say hello to Lu Ze.

It seems that the gift was given last time. Girls just rely on coaxing. Lu Ze smiled: "Be good, wait for the New Year, I will buy you a big gift."

"Well, thank you cousin." Xu Lingling was filled with joy.

The second uncle hurriedly persuaded: "Don't spend money randomly, this girl has nothing to do."

"Dad, you are still my dear dad." Xu Lingling pouted, her cousin wanted to give her a gift, but her dad actually stopped her.

Xu Dachuan sighed: "Hey, you damn girl, you are talking less and less."

"Hmph!" Xu Lingling turned her head and sat alone in sulking.

After a while, my third uncle and his family also came.

The little cousin Xu Yingying was obviously closer to Lu Ze, so she rushed forward as soon as she met: "Hello cousin!"

"Hey, it's heavy again. Girls can't eat too much fat." Lu Ze began to tease her and play with her.

My little cousin is much cute and very funny. No matter how you joke, you won’t get angry or cry.

Seeing that her cousin disliked her fat, Xu Yingying hurriedly said coquettishly: "No, I have a normal figure, and not everyone is as thin as your cousin's girlfriend."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Fangping and Lu Jianjun looked at each other.

Xu Fangping first asked: "Yingying, what did you say? Whose girlfriend?"

"It's the girl my cousin often brings to rice noodle restaurants for dinner. Isn't it his girlfriend?" Xu Yingying replied with a innocent look on her face.

When Lu Ze heard this, his soul was scared and began to defend himself calmly: "Yingying, what are you talking nonsense? Where did you get your girlfriend? That's my classmate."

"How can I have a classmate eat together every day? On the way home, I saw you send her home several times. Although I am young, I am not stupid..." Xu Yingying muttered.

Lu Jianjun became anxious and asked, "Lu Ze, what's going on?"

"Dad, mom, don't listen to Yingying's random words. What does it mean, a little kid, know?" Lu Ze quickly explained again, and winked at his cousin while saying that.

The extremely intelligent little cousin instantly understood: "Is that true? Then maybe I guessed wrong."

Lu Ze added a few more words to say that he was fooled, which made people sweat so much that they were so nervous.

My second uncle asked everyone to have dinner.

The second and third uncles stood up and raised their glasses together, toasting to Lu Ze's family: "Sister, brother-in-law, Lu Ze, we brother-in-law, toast you with a glass. The family does not speak the two families, they are all in the wine."

As he said that, Xu Dachuan and Xu Xiaoshan did it.

"Sit down and drink, why are you doing this for being so polite to me?" Xu Fangping waved her hand and complained.

After the toast, Xu Xiaoshan and Xu Dachuan took out a document from behind.

Xu Dachuan said: "Sister, brother-in-law, Xiaoshan and I are helping us, and our business is getting better and better now.

Some time ago, Lu Ze helped me recruit people and borrowed another amount of money to expand my business.

After the New Year, I have to take Xiaoshan and I to the provincial capital. As younger brothers, we cannot take advantage of it, and we have no signs of anything. Our old Xu family does not have that kind of species.

Xiaoshan and I discussed it and took out half of the shares of the decoration company and the rice noodle shop each to Lu Ze. We have both prepared the legal documents, so Lu Ze can sign it."

"Why are you two doing this? They are all a family, so there is no need to do this. As long as you recognize me, your sister, don't mention this matter again." Xu Fangping was very angry, and said, and looked at her husband.

"Dachuan, Xiaoshan, listen to your sister, don't be dissatisfied with the whole family. If you have too much money, it's just a number. We live a good life, which is more important than anything else." Lu Jianjun quickly expressed his opinion.

Xu Xiaoshan said anxiously: "Sister, brother-in-law, you should be shameless as a younger brother. You can agree."

The last time he and his second brother went to Lu Ze’s house for dinner, they started discussing this matter. Later, they became busy and delayed for a while.

It was not until Xu Dachuan's decoration company became bigger and bigger that Lu Ze helped him recruit staff and also recruited an assistant for him. Xu Dachuan's work was idle and began to handle this matter.

He arranged for his assistant to get two share gift agreements, and directly transferred half of the shares of the [Dachuan Decoration] Company and the [Xuji Rice Noodle] Catering Company to Lu Ze's name for free.

As long as Lu Ze signed the agreement, the agreement took effect immediately. Today, the two of them brought up the matter as they took advantage of the New Year's Day dinner.

"Second uncle and third uncle, let's stop making trouble. What's the matter with these stupid things? You can just give it to me, so I'll keep it and give it to Lingling and Yingying in the future." Lu Ze said with a smile.

"Yes, if you two have to give it, then give it to me. I will serve as a dowry for Lingling and Yingying in a few years." After hearing his son's words, Xu Fangping, who is the eldest sister, immediately made the decision.

Xu Lingling said proudly: "My aunt, don't keep it for me as a dowry, so I won't get married."

"Silly girl, how can a girl not get married? When you grow up, you won't think so." Xu Fangping said to her niece dotingly.

Xu Dachuan said again: "Sister, brother-in-law, if you do this, Xiaoshan and I have no shame to face you."

Xu Xiaoshan also persuaded him, and the two argued with Lu Ze's parents for a long time, but there was no result.

"Second uncle and third uncle, stop fighting, this matter itself is meaningless. It is all a family, so it is appropriate to help each other.

If you make money in the future, my family will only make more money. It's really not bad for your shares.

To put it bluntly, even if I accept these shares, it will only have a few changes in my net worth, and there will be no major changes in life itself. These shares are meaningless to me, hahahaha." Lu Ze persuaded him and laughed at the end.

Xu Fangping and Lu Jianjun were also very happy, but their son was smart and he was very good at dealing with it.

After Lu Ze said that, Xu Dachuan and Xu Xiaoshan were stunned. They just felt that they could not take advantage of their elder sister's family and could not enjoy their success. They looked at their elder sister's family's help and remained indifferent.

I originally wanted to share half of the shares to Lu Ze and express my gratitude to my two brothers, but I didn't think too much about the rest.

Now that my sister and her family refuse, Lu Ze's words made them even more confused about what to do.

It’s easy to owe money, just pay it back.

I owe favors but I can't pay off my debts.

I want to use money to repay it, but I find that I am the most helpless to find that I am not short of money.
