Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 251 Donation to the Walled City
In a flash, Li Jiankun has been in Hong Kong for a week.

into the night.

Yuanji Hotel.

At a dining table by the window on the first floor, Li Jiankun and Lin Xinjia sat opposite each other. There were four dishes and one soup on the table, all of which were authentic Cantonese dishes.

"Grumble!"

Lin Xinjia finished a large glass of beer, and most of his fatigue was gone.

"Boss, it's all done. The set of sofas I ordered will come in tomorrow morning, and the office equipment will come in in the afternoon. I also bought some green plants. When everything is arranged, the company will look like it."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Jiankun picked up the beer bottle and filled him with a glass.

Lin Xinjia smiled and waved his hand. No matter how hard it was, he would be happy with it. It was like setting up a decent nest for himself, and the boss usually didn't stay in Hong Kong City.

The company is located in a new but not old office building in Mong Kok, Kowloon, only 500 meters away from the famous Xianda Plaza.Li Jiankun went there twice, the first time to view the house and the second time to sign the contract.

The area is small, 63 square feet, totaling 58.6 square meters.

The annual rent is HKD 5.8.

Including the things purchased, the expenditure amounted to [-] Hong Kong dollars.

But this money cannot be saved.Li Jiankun named the company Huadian, and his expectations for it were not just to establish a leather bag company with the Electronics Department of Huiyang Machinery Bureau, TTK Home Appliances.

While the two were eating and chatting, a beautiful figure ran in from the dusty door.

"Affi is here."

Lin Xinjia greeted with a smile, glanced at Li Jiankun, and said politely: "Come over for dinner?"

Effie smiled back and shook her head, "No, thank you Brother Lin, Uncle Yuan will pack me dinner."

Watching Effie unload her backpack and walk into the counter, Li Jiankun asked: "Are you familiar with her?"

"It's hard to say we're very familiar. I didn't even know him when I lived in the Walled City. Later, when I moved out, I got to know Uncle Yuan, a fellow villager, by accident. Sometimes we come over for dinner at night and we bump into him."

After Lin Xinjia said this, he added, "This girl has a hard life, it's not easy."

Li Jiankun picked up the glass and sipped Carlsberg slowly, looking at the ponytail exposed over the counter.

"You said, let her come to the company and work with you, is that okay?"

Lin Xinjia was startled at first, and then slapped his thigh.

"That's great! Don't you know, the boss, that this girl is very good? She can talk like a bird. She can chat casually with those foreigners. I heard from Uncle Yuan that she also studied accounting. In a small hotel like Uncle Yuan , all the ledgers are kept in sets.”

Li Jiankun smiled knowingly, he had his own considerations.

When setting up a company in Hong Kong City, Lin Xinjia must not be the only commander-in-chief. He has to run to the mainland from time to time. There must be someone in Hong Kong City who can guard the house and make arrangements immediately for emergencies.

Even if he doesn't recruit Effie, he still has to look for other candidates.

But he likes this girl very much.Well, I like the work and the future is promising.

"Do you know what kind of job she does during the day besides working here at night?"

"This... I'm not sure. Uncle Yuan should know."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

"Affi, it's time to eat."

Effie comes over to start work every night, and obviously has a fixed time. Lao Yuan has already gone to the kitchen to cook a bowl of wonton noodles.

Li Jiankun noticed that the portion was quite generous and contained a lot of eggs and barbecued pork.

Effie stood up and took it, smiling. This scene looked like an old father and daughter.

"Lao Yuan, come over and have a drink." Li Jiankun raised his glass.

Lao Yuan seemed to have something to do. After raising his wrist and taking a look, he picked up a bottle of Carlsberg and walked over with a clean cup.

"Boom!" The wine glasses clinked together.

Li Jiankun smiled and said, "Old Yuan, you are very kind to your employees."

Lao Yuan knew that he was referring to the bowl of wonton noodles just now, and sighed:

"This child is frugal and reluctant to eat or drink. When she first came to my place, she was so thin that she was out of shape. She looked distressed. To be honest, I didn't mean all that well. I was worried that something would happen to her when she stayed up all night and I couldn't be held responsible? Anyway, that's what we were talking about. It’s a package of dinner, with more eggs and two more pieces of meat, so what’s the difference in money?”

"Lao Yuan, you are a good person."

"Harm, it doesn't count, it doesn't count."

"What does she do during the day?"

"It's not a good job. I work in a convenience store until mid-afternoon, and then do part-time work to help others clean. In fact, this kid is quite capable. He mainly suffered from a bad background. I heard that he is from the Walled City, and there are many bosses. I’m afraid; if you don’t have a diploma, in Hong Kong City, if you want to find a good job, people don’t look at your ability first, they have to look at your diploma first.”

Li Jiankun knew what he was talking about. After chatting for a few minutes, the roar of an engine came from outside the door.

Old Yuan Gulu finished his glass of wine and stood up hurriedly, "Boss Li, please eat slowly. I have something to do here. The rice, flour, grain and oil delivered to the Walled City tomorrow will arrive."

After that, he rushed out of the door.

"Lao Yuan is still doing this business?" Li Jiankun looked at Lin Xinjia.

The latter nodded, "He has a grain and oil store in partnership with others, but the Walled City business is not very profitable, and it is a charity. The conditions in the Walled City are too bad, and there is a residents' committee there, which will receive some social donations. , I will order some grain and oil from time to time and distribute it to the lonely elderly, orphans, and disabled people who have no earning power."

"Are there many such people?"

"They are everywhere, so these are just a drop in the bucket. We have to maintain order every time. I gave them to you last time, and I will give them to others this time."

Over at the counter, Effie's cheeks were bulging. She didn't have time to finish the noodles, so she rushed out the door with paper and pen.

After a while, I heard Lao Yuan and Effie chatting and walking in together.

"Uncle, I have half a day off tomorrow morning."

"That's okay. With you here, I feel much more relaxed. It's like fighting every time."

Effie had a smile on her little face and was particularly concerned about this matter.

Although this amount of "relief food" was insignificant, no one knew that it really saved her and her grandmother's lives during the most difficult time of their family.

"Lao Yuan, you still have half a bottle of wine left."

"...Boss Li, you are also an alcoholic."

After Lao Yuan sat over, he realized that Li Jiankun didn't really want to drink with him again. He was surprised and said: "Boss Li, are you going to the Walled City?"

Lin Xinjia also became nervous, "Boss, I will be at the company tomorrow..."

"You don't need to accompany me, you are busy with your business. I will follow Lao Yuan and the others."

After Li Jiankun finished speaking to him, he looked at Lao Yuan again, "I'll bring something with me too, so it won't be so dangerous, right?"

Lao Yuan scratched his head, not understanding what he meant, and said seriously:
"Boss Li, the Walled City is really not open to outsiders. I'm not trying to scare you. Every time we go to deliver goods, the crowds of people who come to pick up things can surround us. I may not be able to take care of them when I arrive. Come on, if something happens to you..."

"They even bullied the people who helped them?"

"what?"

"What I mean is, can you see if you can stir it up a little bit more overnight and add some rice, flour, grain and oil? I'll pay you [-] Hong Kong dollars, and you can take care of it."

"Hiss!" Old Yuan Ke finally understood what he meant and took a breath of cold air, "Boss Li, you want to donate 1 yuan of grain and oil to the city?!"

You know, this time the neighborhood committee only ordered [-] Hong Kong dollars of grain and oil from him, but there was also a small truck.

"There's no danger, it's absolutely safe!" A voice suddenly came from the other side of the counter.

Effie stood up at some point, with an excited expression, and said this decisively, as if she was afraid that Li Jiankun would regret it.

Li Jiankun looked at her with interest, "You promise?"

"I guarantee my life!"
