Chapter 358 Shen Xueli's Little Secret!

Cullinan was driving at high speed on the highway from Wanshan County to Shishi.

Shen Xueli sat in the passenger seat, and from time to time secretly glanced at Luo Yanning who was driving.

"Looking from the side, he looks even more handsome..."

Everyone has a little secret in their heart that only they know, and Shen Shirley is no exception.

Her secret is about Luo Yanning.

Shen Xueli still remembers the day when she was a freshman, when Luo Yanning ignored the disgusting looks of others and helped her carry the quilt in the pig feed bag into the dormitory.

From that day on, Shen Xueli had an inexplicable feeling for Luo Yanning.

She didn't know what it felt like to like someone until she graduated from college.

Today, four or five years have passed, and no man can make Shen Xueli feel that way.

However, because his family situation is extremely bad, there is a lot of debt at home, and he has a father who is paralyzed in bed.

In order not to drag Luo Yanning down, Shen Xueli didn't dare to confide in him even though she liked him very much.

She often thinks in her mind: At least she has to wait until the family's foreign debts are paid off, the house is built, her brother marries a wife after graduating from college, and there is no longer any burden on the family before she confesses her love to him.

If, at that time, he was still single like me...

Nowadays, under the care of Luo Yanning, the situation of Shen Xueli's family has been greatly improved.

After Shen Xueli went to work in the scenic spot, Luo Yanning alone gave her family three work quotas, not counting wages.

The lowest work indicator for Heilongshan Scenic Area is 110,000 to 20,000.

The three working indicators were sold for more than 300,000 yuan, nearly 400,000 yuan, and the foreign debt of more than 100,000 yuan that the family owed to relatives and friends over the years was paid off.

Moreover, there were still more than 200,000 yuan left, so Shen Yanqiu thought of demolishing the old house at home and building a new one.

The foreign debt has been paid, and the construction permit for the new house is coming soon. All that is left is to send her brother to school and wait for him to get married. Shen Xueli feels that she can't wait any longer.

However, when she thought of the growing gap between the two, Shen Xueli's fiery heart began to slowly cool down again.

Luo Yanning is getting better and better, which is obvious to all.

In business, he turned a tourist attraction that was about to close down into a popular tourist attraction with huge traffic.

He also showed everyone one amazing stunt after another.

He knew how to make clay figures, and was noticed by the descendant of "Clay Figure Zhang", who personally visited him as a master and accepted him as a disciple, and made him a fellow disciple.

His painting skills also attracted the favor of a respected old professor at Shishi Academy of Fine Arts, who asked him to teach at the school.

His self-taught Wing Chun can defeat former national team professional taekwondo players.

The dumplings he made were also praised by everyone.

There seems to be nothing in this world that he doesn't know how to do.

He has great looks, a good temper, and many talents. Only a fairy daughter in heaven can be worthy of such a man!

In front of Luo Yanning, Shen Xueli often felt ashamed of herself.

"By the way, Shirley, yesterday I discussed the feasibility of opening a B&B in Luojiazhuang with the branch secretary of Luojiazhuang. We feel that now is a good time."

"You are the marketing manager of our scenic spot. No one should know the operating conditions of the scenic spot better than you."

"There are more and more foreign tourists visiting our scenic spots, and the demand for accommodation is also growing."

"However, the current B&B market in Luojiazhuang is still very primitive. They all use unused rooms in their own houses for business, and the accommodation conditions are very average."

“If we invest in and build some B&Bs with better hardware facilities and better privacy, they will definitely be welcomed by tourists.”

While driving, Luo Yanning chatted with Shen Xueli about what he and Luo Haifeng were planning to do recently.

"Huh? Oh, yes..."

After hearing Luo Yanning's words, Shen Shirley came out of her trance, coughed twice awkwardly, and brushed the hair around her ears with her hands a few times.

"Luojiazhuang is the closest to our scenic spot, and the commercial area at the entrance of the village is convenient for eating and shopping. The prospects of opening a B&B in the village should be very promising."

Shen Xueli adjusted her mind and said: "Tourists from the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area next door support more than 200 B&Bs in Baiyun Town. The passenger flow of our scenic area is infinitely close to that of the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, and we will support 100 or 200 B&Bs in the future. It should still be possible.”

"Yes, we think so too." Luo Yanning said in a persuasive manner, "Since your family wants to build a house, my opinion is that you might as well build it here in Luojiazhuang, so that the family can live in it and do business at the same time. B&B, in this way, you can also increase your family’s income.”

"Going to build a B&B in Luojiazhuang?" Shen Xueli's eyes lit up after hearing Luo Yanning's words, but soon dimmed again, "It will cost a lot to build a B&B. Our funds..."

Luo Yanning didn't wait for Shen Xueli to finish speaking, and interrupted: "You don't have to worry about funds. If there are insufficient funds, I can lend you some first.

Don’t worry about the homestead and procedures. I’ll tell Party Secretary Haifeng and he will help you figure it out. "

"Yanning, why are you so kind to our family?" Shen Shirley was moved to tears after hearing Luo Yanning's words.

Luo Yanning smiled and said matter-of-factly: "Because we are friends.

Shen Xueli wiped her tears and smiled: "Friends... Yes, we are friends. The greatest luck in my life is to meet a good friend like you."

"Please, don't be so sentimental, okay." Luo Xuning joked with Shen Xueli while handing her the tissue in the groove of the car door armrest, "Wipe your tears quickly, Zhang Qian and others will see it and think I did something to you."

Shen Xueli blushed and took the tissue, and said boldly: "I want you to do something to me."

"Ahem..." Facing the old classmate who suddenly became extremely bold, Luo Xuning could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.

Even though Shen Xueli became more and more beautiful, he never had any other thoughts about Shen Xueli, and still treated her as an old classmate and good friend as always.

"Look how scared you are... You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just... just playing a little joke on you."

Shen Xueli said something that was completely against her will, and she felt as if her heart was being tugged hard by someone, and she felt extremely uncomfortable and suffocated.

The employees in the scenic area were privately saying that Luo Shuning and Shui Miaomiao were a perfect match, and Shen Xueli had naturally heard these rumors.

"Yes, Vice President Shui is prettier than me and has a better figure than me. I heard from Director Liang and others that they grew up together as childhood sweethearts..."

Shen Xueli's mind flashed with the image of Shui Miaomiao, and she immediately felt like an ugly duckling.

Even if Luo Shuning was a straight man, he felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange, and quickly changed the topic to the homestay.

"My apprentice and I are also planning to open a homestay in the village together."

"Our initial plan is to build three floors, with the first and second floors for business and the third floor for self-use."

"You really don't need to think too much about money. If you want to do it, you can refer to the cooperation method between me and Xiao Du."

Shen Xueli adjusted her mood and asked curiously, "What is the cooperation method between you and Xiao Du?"

Luo Xuning said, "I will invest in the homestay, and she will help me manage it. Before the return of the capital, the profit will be 70% and 30% respectively. After the return of all the capital, I will get 70% and she will get 70%."

"Ah? In this way, wouldn't it be..." Shen Xueli was very surprised when she heard the cooperation method between Luo Xuning and Du Enya.

In this cooperation method, Luo Xuning took all the risks, Du Enya didn't have to pay a penny and made a steady profit.

"From this cooperation method, you should be able to see my confidence in the homestay industry, so what is there to hesitate about?"

Luo Xuning said with a smile: "This cooperation method is not available to everyone. It is only open to my relatives and friends. You should think about it before answering. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have this opportunity again."

"I..." Shen Xueli was originally embarrassed to accept Luo Xuning's kindness.

But if you think about it from another perspective, wouldn't you be able to have more interactions with him through this jointly operated homestay?

Shen Xueli smiled and said: "You have said so much. If I refuse again, wouldn't it be a bit ungrateful? Then I have to refuse it disrespectfully."

Luo Xuning said: "Then it's settled. I will tell Secretary Haifeng tomorrow and ask him to help you find a piece of land."

"Okay." Shen Xueli smiled and nodded.

After confirming the cooperation, the two talked a lot about investing in building a homestay. It was not until Cullinan heard the parking lot of the destination that the two ended the topic with reluctance.

"When I came here, I remembered the days when I worked part-time in several stores nearby during college. Every time I got paid, I was the happiest time."

After getting off the car, Shen Xueli looked at the various shops on both sides of the road and couldn't help sighing.

"The happiness at that time was really simple. Okay, don't sigh. Let's go quickly and don't let the grandchildren wait anxiously."

Luo Xuning raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was already 7:51 in the evening, and there were only 9 minutes left before the agreed 8 o'clock.

"Yeah, let's go." Shen Xueli looked at Luo Xuning and smiled sweetly, and walked side by side with him towards the restaurant they had agreed to meet.

As soon as Luo Xuning and Shen Xueli left, a sharp-eyed passerby discovered the existence of Cullinan.

"Damn! Cullinan!! It's Cullinan!"

"Is there such a rich guy in Shishi?"

"He drives such a luxury car to eat in such a small restaurant. He is too low-key!"

"Could it be a senior from our school?"

Several students passing by talked about Cullinan, their eyes full of envy.

Click, click, click!

After the discussion, several people took out their mobile phones in tacit understanding, circled around Cullinan for a few times, and took pictures from all angles.

"Take a photo for me! I'll post it on WeChat Moments to show off!"

"I'll come too, I'll come too! Take a cool photo for me!"

When several students were taking pictures around Cullinan, Luo Xuning and Shen Xueli came to the door of the restaurant together.

"Xuning! Xueli, you are here. There is no traffic jam on the road."

Sun Liqun, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw Luo Xuning and hurriedly greeted him with an eager face.

"Xunning, Xue...Shirley, you're here." Song Jinyao walked up to the two of them with an unnatural expression and greeted them. The smile on her face was stiff as if she had rented it somewhere else.

Before coming to Shishi City, Song Jinyao actually looked down on Luo Xunning and Wu Mingshi's "small group".

This trip to Shishi refreshed her impression of this "small group".

Wu Mingshi, who was silly and stupid in college, now earns 80,000 to 90,000 yuan a month and drives a Mercedes-Benz.

Shen Xueli, who is either working or on the way to work, also earns 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month.

Luo Shuning, a small town test-taker who is a little handsome but has no money and no background, has now become a veritable big boss of a scenic spot.

This time in the business of Zhuoye Group, Luo Shuning helped Sun Liqun a lot and helped him win millions of business.

Song Jinyao really felt Luo Shuning's power in Shishi and no longer dared to look down on him.

Sun Liqun invited him to dinner again before leaving, just to maintain his relationship with Luo Shuning.

"Sun Zi, Song Jin Yao, we are not late, are we?"

Luo Shu Ning's attitude towards the two did not change at all. He was still the same as he was in school.

Sun Liqun said with a smile: "Not late, not late. There are still ten minutes left! We just arrived a while ago."

"Wow! I didn't expect Mr. Luo to come so early today. We are the last to arrive!"

As soon as Sun Liqun finished speaking, another voice was heard not far away. Wu Mingshi and Zhang Qian arrived with two bottles of wine in their hands.

Zhang Qian smiled and said: "Luo Zi, Shirley, Sun Zi, Song Jin Yao, you guys are not going in at the door. Are you deliberately showing it to me and Fatty to embarrass us?"

Sun Liqun hurriedly said with a smile: "No, no, Zhang Qian, don't misunderstand, we just arrived and happened to meet at the door. We just said a few words and you and Mingshi came."

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, go in and say it. Don't block the door and block their business." Luo Shu Ning said with a smile and went into the store first.

Sun Liqun said it was just right, but in fact, he had been there for more than an hour. He had already booked a private room and ordered dishes.

After entering the room, he told the waiter, who took everyone to the reserved room upstairs. As soon as they sat down and said a few words, the dishes began to be served.

A group of waiters came in and out several times, and a large table was filled with various dishes, both meat and vegetables. Luo Xuning roughly counted and found that there were at least 30 dishes.

Zhang Qian joked, "Squad Leader Sun, you made a lot of money this time, didn't you? You ordered all the dishes on the menu?"

"It's rare for everyone to get together, so let's eat and drink well."

Sun Liqun said with a smile, raised his glass and looked at Luo Xuning, and said sincerely:

"Xuning, let me toast you first, thank you for helping me this time."
