MtaurNovel Chapter 48
Chapter 48
The three of Zhou Shudi disembarked from the spaceship. As far as their eyes could see, there was a vast world that was extremely simple and highly technological. Compared with 20 years ago, the long-lost scenery has not changed much except that it is newer and more advanced.
Zhou Shudi was familiar with the door and the way, and led Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Zhifei to the exit.Huo Xuan knew the news that they were coming early in the morning. After asking about the time of the boat ticket, Huo Xuan said that he had sent someone to pick them up.After being away for so many years, the capital star has changed a lot compared to Zhou Shudi's impression, and it will be easier to get familiar with this place with someone with him.
The person Huo Xuan arranged was Shen Huaining, a shrewd man who looked to be in his thirties. He drove a low-key private speed car, and after receiving Zhou Shudi and the other three, he began to popularize the changes of Capital Star over the years.
"Have you decided where to stay?" Shen Huaining asked, his curiosity towards the three of them was well concealed in his eyes, "Boss Huo said that if you can't find a place to live for the time being, I can take you to one of his houses." I will live in Bieyuan temporarily, and I will move out after you find a house."
"Don't worry about it, let's go back to Zhou's house." Zhou Shudi said lightly and gave an address.Since the fall of the Zhou family, the Zhou family moved out of the old house and disappeared from the sight of the upper class of Capital Star.Zhou Shudi has not come back for so many years, but every year he will regularly report to the Zhou family that he is safe.Therefore, before going back to Capital Star this time, he contacted Zhou's family, and the address reported by Zhou Shudi was left to Zhou Shudi by Zhou's family.
Shen Huaining's eyes flickered: "This place is nice, not far from the former dining hall." His eyes stayed on Zhou Shudi for a while longer, and he had seen it when Huo Xuan sent him to pick up Zhou Shudi and the other two. Although they don't understand why Mr. Huo treats a person who has fallen into the Zhou family seriously, but his intelligence makes him never talk too much about what he shouldn't ask, and he only makes up the relationship in his heart. "We will pass by the old restaurant of Jushan Building. Recently, I heard that the place will be auctioned off by Baoda Group. If you are interested, you have to start preparing as soon as possible."
The address of the Jushan Building is in the central city of Capital Star, which is the busiest area on Capital Star. After Qu Feiang swallowed up the market and power of the Zhou family, he took the resources of the Zhou family that he annexed as quickly as possible. Integrate into various places under the Qu family, such as attracting customers from Jushan Building and merging into Zhenxiu Pavilion, taking over the product formula under the name of Jushan Building, changing the name and changing the number, and putting it into production and sales on its own production line... The only thing that still retains the capital star The place where there are traces of Jushanlou is the old store of Jushanlou.
The steady private speeding car turns left at the crossroads and passes by rows of modern buildings. Gradually, a patchwork of wood-like architectural complexes full of ancient Chinese style appears in the field of vision. This area was positioned as a The antique scenic spot is adjacent to the bustling new commercial area, and complements the new area.Most of the established Chinese restaurants in Capital Star choose their addresses here, and Jushanlou is no exception.
Shen Huaining knew about the origins of Zhou Shudi and the three of them in advance, and knew their origins with Jushanlou, so when passing by the old restaurant of Jushanlou, he stopped the car very understandingly: "I will take you down to have a look at this restaurant Bar."
Among the neat and renewed antique buildings, the old restaurant of Jushanlou without a signboard is unexpectedly conspicuous.No one else, just because this six-storey building looks very old and dusty compared to the surrounding ones.Obviously, the old store has not been carefully maintained and repaired, and there are still signs of damage after wind and frost erosion in some places.Although the appearance seems to have changed a lot of the features of the original Jushan building, the details all reflect the roughness and carelessness of the repairs.
Zhou Shudi had mixed feelings when he saw the old restaurant of Jushanlou again.The news of the auction that Shen Huaining mentioned had already been known when he communicated with Zhou's family, which is why the three of them rushed here non-stop as soon as Zhou Zhifei received the admission notice.Although the Zhou family has disappeared, they still keep an eye on the news of the Jushanlou in secret. They always hope that one day the Zhou family can take back this place and let the Jushanlou reopen on Capital Star to welcome guests.Zhou Shudi also hoped so.
"In the beginning, this restaurant was operated under the name of Zhenxiu Pavilion, but the reputation of Jushanlou was so great before, they hastily regarded it as Zhenxiu Pavilion, and the business has not been very good. Next, when walking along the route that blooms everywhere, Zhenxiu Court also has its own old restaurant, so this restaurant seems useless and redundant. There are only so many old-fashioned restaurants in the Capital Star, and no one is willing to take the initiative to take over this place, and take over the business halfway The benefits of other industries are also not optimistic, so that such a good bottom end has been abandoned in recent years." As if seeing the doubts of Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Zhifei, Shen Huaining took the initiative to explain to them the reason why this place has been abandoned for so long.
And Jushan Restaurant returned to Capital Star to reopen, the old restaurant is undoubtedly the best and only choice in Zhou Shudi's heart.Just wanting to buy this old store and bring it back to Zhou's family, I would need a lot of star coins, and I don't know if my savings are enough.Thinking of this, Zhou Shudi lowered his eyes and thought deeply.
After getting back into the car and driving through this area, it took less than 10 minutes to arrive at the location reported by Zhou Shudi. Shen Huaining put the person down and left with great insight.
The Zhou family lived in a somewhat remote location in this community. Zhou Shudi stood outside the door and unconsciously took a deep breath. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to press the doorbell.
Soon someone came to open the door following the sound, and it was Zhou Shudi's uncle Zhou Shiyun who came to welcome the three of them in.The structure of the Zhou family is simple, and after so many years, not many new faces have been added.Zhou Shudi's father has three brothers and sisters. This time, because of Zhou Shudi's return, the three families rarely get together. The big living room is packed to the brim. Everyone is watching Zhou Shudi who was brought into the house by Zhou Shiyun. three people.
"...I'm back." The greeting, like a child returning home who hasn't been away for a long time, suddenly ignited Qi Ying's mixed emotions, and made her eyes reddened.
Sitting in the middle are the oldest elders, Zhou Shudi's grandfather Zhou Shang, grandma Long Jing'an, and great grandfather Zhou Mu.Zhou Shudi's parents, Zhou Shiyu and Qi Ying, sat on the left hand side of the three old people, sitting opposite Uncle Zhou Shudi's family.Zhou Shudi's aunt Zhou Shiyin and uncle Bai Fengyu sat side by side with Zhou Shiyu and Qi Ying.When Qi Ying saw Zhou Shudi, whom he hadn't seen for nearly 20 years, her expression was full of surprise, and she couldn't take her eyes off Zhou Shudi. Although Zhou Shiyu still had a straight face, his eyes revealed the dissatisfaction in his heart. calm.
Uncle Zhou Shiyun, aunt Yu Manni, and their sons and daughters Zhou Yansheng and Zhou Qingxue.Zhou Yansheng has already married, and his twin sons Zhou Jingyi and Zhou Jingcheng are two years older than Zhou Zhifei, and they are looking at Zhou Shudi and the others curiously.They occasionally heard the story of this uncle several times in their parents' conversations, and their childhood memories of Zhou Shudi have been blurred. When they meet now, they can still see Zhou Shudi's clear and elegant character at a glance.
Zhou Shang was the first to speak. He was old, but his gray hair was still hale and hearty. His old voice was calm and hoarse: "It's good to be back." But only the simplest four words.
No one has taken the initiative to mention the past.
After all, I haven't seen it for so many years. At the beginning, the atmosphere was a little rusty, and I didn't know what to say.Fortunately, they quickly found a common topic, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
"You want to buy the Jushan Building back?" Zhou Shang frowned fiercely, his expression showing his enthusiasm for the proposal, "But will there be any problems in the auction?"
"The Qu family won't let us buy the Jushan Building so easily." Zhou Shiyun was very clear about the actions of the Qu family, and he did not conceal his disapproval and disgust for the Qu family in his words, "I heard that they have actually found a buyer. The family took over, the auction is just a gimmick.”
Zhou Shudi was silent for a while: "You have to try it. If they won't sell it to us, we don't have to come forward in person. It's okay to find someone to replace it."
"It takes a lot of star coins to buy back the old store. Just ask how much you lack. After all, this is the business of all of our Zhou family. You don't have to carry it alone." Zhou Shang said, he also wanted to let Ju The dining hall returned to the name of the Zhou family.Aquamarine's dining building suddenly emerged a year ago. After it was passed on to Capital Star, the same name quickly caught his attention. The Zhou family all had a feeling in their hearts that the person behind this was Zhou Shudi.
Later, Zhou Shudi took the initiative to contact the family, and the Zhou family felt that it was true, but they didn't expect Zhou Shudi to decide to come back so soon.After Zhou Shudi went to Seablue Star, he would only report to them on one day every year that they were safe, and no matter how they contacted, they still could not receive a response.Everyone knew in their hearts that although none of them blamed Zhou Shudi for what happened back then, Zhou Shudi still felt that all this was due to his own pressure and guilt, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped seeing them for so long.
Fortunately, Zhou Shudi was finally willing to come out.
Although it was said that an auction was going to be held, the Qu family and Baoda Group did not hold the auction with great fanfare. Instead, they invited interested parties and held a private reception, and the bidding price was secretly voted in advance. Baoda Group, at the reception, the chairman of Baoda Group, Qu Feiang, personally announced the results, and completed the property handover ceremony of the old Jushanlou restaurant at the reception.
Naturally, the Zhou family and Zhou Shudi couldn't receive the invitation letter for this reception, but fortunately, someone who knows them can help.
