Chapter 271 How about spinach?

After Li Xiangqian sat down, he went straight to the point: "Brother Damao, I have a plan recently. I want to expand my store, but I am a little short of funds. I want to borrow some money from you."

Xu Damao raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile, "Oh? Xiang Qian, you are planning to do something big. How much do you plan to borrow?"

Li Xiangqian hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to borrow 50,000 yuan."

After hearing this, Xu Damao's smile gradually faded, and his eyes showed a bit of calmness: "Fifty thousand yuan is not a small amount. How are you going to pay it back? Also, are you sure your plan can succeed?"

Li Xiangqian felt a surge of pressure, but he knew it was a challenge he had to face. He took a deep breath and said, "Brother Damao, I believe my plan will succeed. I will use the money to purchase new equipment and renovate the store, improve service quality, and attract more customers. I will work hard and pay back the money on time."

Xu Damao was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Xiang Qian, it's not that I don't trust you, but the amount of money is really not small. If you really want to borrow it, I can consider it. But you have to give me a clear repayment plan, and if you can't pay it back on time, I need to have a guarantee."

Li Xiangqian nodded: "Brother Damao, I understand your concerns. I can write a detailed repayment plan and use my shop as collateral. If I can't pay back the money on time, you can take over my shop."

After hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes flashed with satisfaction: "Okay, since you said so, let's write a loan contract."

After the two signed the loan contract, Li Xiangqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had taken an important step. After getting the loan, Li Xiangqian immediately began to work on the plan to expand the store. He purchased new barbering equipment, renovated the store, and added some new services. After some efforts, the store was completely renewed and attracted many new customers.

One night, Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu sat in the yard, looking at the newly renovated store, their hearts full of hope.

"Huai Ru, I know borrowing money is a risky thing, but I believe that as long as we work hard, we can run the store better." Li Xiangqian said firmly.

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Xiang Qian, I always believe in you. Let's work hard together. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will be by your side."

Li Xiangqian felt Qin Huairu's support and was filled with strength. He knew that the road ahead would be full of challenges, but he was confident to face everything.

However, as the business of the store became better and better, Li Xiangqian also felt some new pressure. Some customers had higher and higher requirements for service quality, and the management of employees became more complicated. He found that he not only needed to improve his skills, but also needed to learn how to better manage and coordinate the entire team.

One day, Li Xiangqian was busy in the store all day and was exhausted when he returned home. Qin Huairu looked at his tired appearance and said distressedly: "Xiangqian, you are so busy that your body will not be able to bear it."

Li Xiangqian smiled bitterly and said, "Huai Ru, I know I am tired, but I can't stop. The business of the store is getting better and better now, and I have to pay attention to every detail."

Qin Huairu gently held his hand and said softly: "Go forward, I know you are working hard, but you also have to take care of yourself. We can work together to divide some of the work among the employees. You can't handle everything by yourself."

Li Xiangqian nodded, feeling warm in his heart. He knew that he needed to learn to rely more on the team in order to make the store go further.

In the following days, Li Xiangqian began to pay more attention to the training and management of employees. He formulated some new rules and regulations, and communicated with employees regularly to understand their needs and opinions. Gradually, the store's work efficiency improved and the service quality also improved significantly.

Li Xiangqian finally felt that his efforts were not in vain. He looked at the busy scene in the store, and his heart was filled with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but as long as he had the support of Qin Huairu and the team, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and realize his dream.

In the evening, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e sat in the yard and discussed today's findings. Lou Xiao'e said worriedly: "Xiangqian, Qin Huairu's matter is getting more and more complicated. We have to be careful."

Li Xiangqian held her hand and said firmly: "Xiao'e, no matter what happens, we will face it together. As long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

In the following days, Li Xiangqian continued to pay attention to Qin Huairu's every move, while also working hard in the factory to maintain the stability of the family. He knew that the challenges in life would not stop, but as long as he had the support and trust of his family, he would have enough strength to face everything.

Li Xiangqian has been busy with work and investigating Qin Huairu's affairs recently, and he feels a little tired. Lou Xiao'e sees this and is a little worried. One night, Lou Xiao'e was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Li Xiangqian walked in. Seeing that most of the dishes on the table were meat, he decided to eat more vegetables to supplement vitamins.

"Xiao E, our family has been eating too much meat recently. I think we should eat more vegetables." Li Xiangqian said gently.

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I also think we should eat more green vegetables. Let's go to the market to buy some fresh vegetables tomorrow."

Li Xiangqian smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he would carefully select some fresh vegetables tomorrow. The next morning, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e went out together and came to the market. The market was bustling with people, and the air was filled with the aroma of various ingredients. Li Xiangqian took Lou Xiao'e's hand and walked slowly on the path of the market, feeling much more relaxed.

"Xiao E, what do you think of these spinach?" Li Xiangqian asked, pointing to the fresh spinach on a stall.

Lou Xiao'e looked at it carefully and nodded: "Very good, let's buy some spinach and take it back."

Li Xiangqian walked up to the stall owner, said hello, and picked a few handfuls of fresh spinach. Then, they bought some carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers, all of which were Li Xiaoling's favorite vegetables. After buying the vegetables, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e went home together, feeling very satisfied.

After returning home, Li Xiangqian took the vegetables to the kitchen and began to wash and cut them. Looking at these fresh vegetables, he felt a long-lost peace and happiness in his heart. Lou Xiao'e helped him, and the two of them cooperated tacitly, and the kitchen was filled with laughter.

At dinner time, Li Xiangqian brought the prepared dishes to the table. They were all fresh vegetables and a small amount of meat, a very balanced combination.
