Chapter 553 - 553: Treat menu
The industrial zone that Huang Yuying and the others had chosen was where Sister Huang’s clothing factory was located. It was where Wanhua Beauty Salon was located.
The cosmetics company was not very big. They used to make their own brands and only made face masks. However, after the formula of the face mask was leaked, the business became worse and worse.
The factory had not paid its employees for two months.
Knowing that someone was willing to buy it, and that the factory owner had offered a very reasonable price, Huang Yuying also asked Wu Yuanyuan and other colleagues to go to the site to investigate many times. With the information that Sister Huang had given them, it was much easier for Huang Yuying and the others to talk.
“Then the day after tomorrow. It happens to be Saturday. I have half a day off.”
Li Muyao still had to go and take a look at the cosmetic factory. Although she didn’t know much, the research institute had given her some suggestions and told her about the details that needed to be kept confidential during the production process. Li Muyao wanted to go and see what the character of the original cosmetic factory owner was like. If it was possible, she could hire him to continue to be the factory manager.
There was also the problem of new and old production lines. Li Muyao also needed to buy new ones according to the suggestions given by the research institute.
After all, skincare products and cosmetics with Chinese medicine ingredients were more stringent than ordinary cosmetics in terms of space and environment.
After the meeting at the investment company, Li Muyao chatted with Huang Yuying. When she left the company, Li Muyao had a few more college entrance examination revision books in her hands.
Now, Li Muyao was also very helpless. Every time she came to the company, the employees in the company would find out that Li Muyao was studying for the college entrance examination every day. They would always want to buy new books that they had used for the college entrance examination. Then, they would help Li Muyao mark the key points and send them to Li Muyao.
This was also the reason why Li Muyao was unwilling to come to the company recently.
Everyone was concerned about her studies, encouraging her to study hard and wishing her success in her college entrance examination next year.
More and more people knew that Li Muyao was going to take the college entrance examination, and Li Muyao found that the pressure on her seemed to be increasing.
When they arrived at Huo Jiling’s office, Li Muyao laid on the soft sofa without caring about her image. She flipped through the information book she received from the staff and sighed,”Why is everyone so concerned about me, the boss? Indeed, I don’t want everyone to care about me so much. Sigh, this puts a lot of pressure on me.
By the way, Ling, did Grandma Huo call? Has her condition improved?”
Li Muyao didn’t want to think about studying anymore, so she changed the topic to Huo Jiling.
Hearing Li Muyao’s heavy sigh, Huo Jiling put down the documents, walked to Li Muyao’s side and sat down. He grabbed Li Muyao’s hand and massaged her, “Grandma’s condition is very stable. With sister-in-law taking care of her, we don’t have to worry. Xiao Yu and Yang Yang just sent me a text message saying that Xiao Cangshu’s father will be back today and will be taking three days off.
You don’t have classes on Saturday afternoon. Mooncake, why don’t we invite the family of five over for dinner? They had been talking about this for a month since they returned to Sun City from Jin City.
Moreover, Special Assistant Jiang did not have to work overtime or go on a business trip that day. It was just right for him to come with Assistant Huang.”
Huo Jiling had always remembered that he wanted to invite the She family for a meal.
Li Muyu, Li Muyang, and Little Cangshu went to the same school, so he naturally knew when Li Dangshen would return from his business trip. Moreover, half of the reason why Li Dangshen went on a business trip this time was for Li Muyao.
Li Muyao wanted to open a Chinese medicine skincare factory, and the demand for Chinese medicinal herbs would be huge. Previously, Li Muyao had invested a sum of money into the She Family Chinese Medicine Garden.
This time, the raw materials were also Chinese medicinal herbs. Li Muyao planned to continue investing money and expand the scale of the She family’s Chinese medicine garden. The business model remained the same, but the purchase of Chinese medicinal herbs could only be handed over to Li Muyao’s factory.
Li Muyao had also discussed the details with Dangshen Li and the others.
The contract could only be signed when Dangshen Li returned this time. The money would naturally be received immediately.
“Alright, Saturday night it is. But in the afternoon, I have to go to the industrial area with Sister Ying and the others to inspect the makeup factory. I might come back a little late.”
Huang Yuying had already booked her free time on Saturday, so Huo Jiling and his twin brother would have to cook for her. Even if Li Muyao stayed at home, she wouldn’t have much to do.
Anyway, Huo Jiling and his twin brother were at home, so they didn’t want Li Muyao to come into the kitchen. Moreover, Li Muyao had to attend tuition classes with the teacher every day, so naturally, she wouldn’t let Li Muyao do housework.
Huo Jiling and his twin brother would definitely do the grocery shopping, cooking, and washing the dishes.
“It’s fine as long as you’re back for dinner. I’ll get Special Assistant Jiang to drive you. It’ll be safer if you have a man by your side. Look at the menu that Little Yu, Yang Yang, and I have drawn up. There are Shacheng dishes and Yangcheng dishes. Mooncake, do you see if there are any dishes left?” Huo Jiling took out a menu from his desk drawer.
After all, this was the first time they had treated each other since they lived together, and Huo Jiling was the host. He was very attentive. The new dining table and chairs in the house were changed to a big table for ten people ten days ago.
Moreover, Huo Jiling was treating her friend to a meal in the name of Li Muyao.
Li Muyao was surprised by Huo Jiling’s seriousness, but she still took the menu and asked,”Aren’t there too many dishes on this menu? There were only eight cold dishes, twelve meat dishes, eight vegetable dishes, and five soup dishes. Wasn’t this a little too much?
Let’s not talk about whether we can finish all the dishes with so many people. Ling, are you sure that you, Xiao Yu, and Yang Yang can make so many dishes in one afternoon?”
Li Muyao wouldn’t have any objections if they hired a professional chef to cook so many dishes, but Huo Jiling and his two younger brothers would need a long time to prepare.
Thirty-two dishes, wasn’t that a little too exaggerated?
There were more dishes than eating in a hotel.
Moreover, the people of Yangcheng were not used to eating cold dishes. This cold dish could be completely omitted!
However, there was not much soup. After all, the people of Yangcheng liked to drink soup before and after meals.
“There aren’t many dishes here. Xiao Yu. Yang Yang. and I thought about it very
seriously before coming up with the menu. Moreover, we’ve divided the work and prepared these dishes in one afternoon.
You can leave the mooncakes to us without worry. It won’t be embarrassing. The taste of the dishes is also guaranteed to be delicious. If everyone likes it this time, you can invite your friends over for dinner anytime in the future!”
Huo Jiling always remembered what Li Muyao said. She said that inviting people to eat at home was the most sincere. Previously, Li Muyao’s cooking skills were average.
The twins were young.
Huo Jiling was a new chef, so he naturally wouldn’t invite the She family over for dinner.
Now, Huo Jiling had made many classic dishes of Shacheng. The twins, Li
Muyu and Li Muyang, had also made simple cold dishes. When they lived in the She family, they learned how to make soup from the housekeeper of the She family.
Huo Jiling saved a lot of trouble by leaving the cold dishes and soup to them..
