Chapter 183: Refused to cooperate to hide secrets(1/2)
After visiting Huichuan County for free, Li Rui also unlocked a hidden cafe.
This cafe is called "greco", and it has the same name as the oldest and most famous cafe in Rome.
Originally, there were not many people drinking coffee at this time, and Huichuan’s economy was not developed, so it was reasonable that such high-end coffee shops had poor business.
But even so, this cafe is not easy to enter, and it requires a membership card to be allowed. Those who enter can enjoy specially customized desserts and drinks from two-star Michelin restaurants, which is an unthinkable treatment in the small Huichuan County.
The restaurant design is also very special, one is divided into two, half is modern and bold metal elements, and the other half is traditional French elegant style.
After entering, the two found a seat and ordered two cups of coffee.
At this time, the woman took off her sunglasses, stretched out her hand, and smiled and said, "I'll introduce myself, my name is Zhou Xinyue."
"Li Rui, I'll be lucky."
Li Rui also reached out and shook hands with the other party.
At this time, Zhou Xinyue leaned over and whispered: "You are really interesting. I invite you to have coffee, but I didn't expect you to come."
"Haha, it's not that I want to have coffee with you, but the look you looked at me when you left, making me guess you wanted to talk to me, so I came out of the store." Li Rui said.
Zhou Xinyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Is that so? I can tell my thoughts just from a look? You are really not an ordinary person. Are you the boyfriend of the beauty salon owner?"
Li Rui said without comment: "That's right."
"You are not from the county town, are you, because I have never seen you."
"Indeed, I'm a countryman." Li Rui nodded, but he changed his mind and said, "Your beauty salon business is much worse than Zhu Jingjing, recently..."
After Li Rui said this, Zhou Xinyue's face changed and she was very surprised.
"Even Zhu Jingjing doesn't know my background. How do you know that I run a beauty salon?"
Zhou Xinyue looked shocked. She was confident that she had never revealed any information that she was running a beauty salon.
Li Rui smiled and said, "Actually, I'm just guessing, because you can want to buy all the beauty creams in one go. Even a woman who loves beauty will not do this. People who do this either do wholesale or resell, but judging from your expression just now, what I guess should be right."
"Hahaha, you guessed it right. To be honest, I do run a beauty salon, and I already have three branches in the county."
"Then what do you want to talk to me about? It's better to be more straightforward."
Zhou Xinyue smiled and said, "How much does Zhu Jingjing give you to buy your things?"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, you are competitors, I'm her boyfriend. Do you think I might tell you these things?"
"You are right. I should ask in a different way. I will offer you an 80,000 yuan bottle of this beauty cream. Can you provide me with the supply of goods?"
"Zhou Xinyue, if you take 80,000 yuan from me, you still plan to sell it locally, and you are simply spending money in the water, because the price I give to Zhu Jingjing is much lower than that of you."
Zhou Xinyue said: "Don't worry about this. I won't shoot myself in the foot. So I want to cooperate with you to supply the goods. And I go to a big city like Wudu. I have branches in Shanghai, the more mid-sized places, and the consumption level there is much higher than this. So to be honest, if I get 80,000 from you, I will sell one bottle there, and I can earn 80,000 yuan per bottle, or even more."
After hearing her say this, Li Rui suddenly realized.
"I can't promise you now. Beauty cream is still a homemade product. It will be troublesome to go to the mall to sell it in the cabinet." Li Rui said.
Zhou Xinyue said, "I know, do you have no pharmaceutical factory or pharmaceutical company?"

Li Rui shook his head and said, "It's still in the plan."
"If possible, how about I invest?"
Li Rui felt puzzled about Zhou Xinyue’s proposal. Even though she knew that the beauty cream she developed was very effective, she had a lot of courage to directly talk about cooperation with people she didn’t know.
"Sorry, I already have a partner." Li Rui smiled and shook his head and refused.
"Haha, I think you must think I'm a little abrupt, but if you really understand my strength, you won't think so. In terms of funds, I can sponsor 50% of the shares, but I only have 30% of the shares, so you can make sure you make a profit." Zhou Xinyue chuckled.
Li Rui shook his head, stood up and said, "Sorry, I don't cooperate with people I'm not familiar with. Sorry, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
At this time, Li Rui's phone rang, it was Lin Wanqing's call.
Li Rui answered the phone and turned around and walked out of the cafe.
Lin Wanqing had already arranged the evening dinner. Li Rui had just hung up the phone and received another call from Zhu Jingjing.
"Hmph, where did you go? Are you planning not to take me to the dinner party tonight?"
Zhu Jingjing on the other end of the phone looked very angry. It seemed that Lin Wanqing also invited Zhu Jingjing.
Because of Lin Zejiang and the others' relationship with Zhu Jingjing, it is normal to invite her.
"No, I just want to buy a new set of clothes to wear. Isn't that clothes a little damaged?"
When Li Rui was in a car accident, his coat was scratched, but the T-shirt inside was still fine. Of course, he would not tell Zhu Jingjing that he had drunk coffee with a woman named Zhou Xinyue and also discussed cooperation.
Li Rui returned to the beauty shop, and Zhu Jingjing had been waiting at the door.
At this time, Li Rui's hands were empty and his clothes had not changed.
"Where are the new clothes I bought? Why don't you ask me to buy them with you?" Zhu Jingjing asked with some complaints.
Li Rui smiled and said, "I didn't like you, so I didn't buy it. It's getting late. Let's set off, you can't be late."
Zhu Jingjing didn't think much and said no. She had more than one car, and that car was still ordinary. Now this car is also a brand new one, which shows that Zhu Jingjing's financial resources are still very good.
Before five o'clock, the two arrived at Lin Wanqing's residence.
Although Lin Wanqing is just the vice principal of the art school, her residence is no worse than Lin Zejiang's residence, a single-family villa, a yard, swimming pool and garden.
"Jingjing, you are here."
Chen Ting is here too. She is wearing a black dress and has short hair, which makes her look more playful and cute.
Compared to before, Chen Ting prefers to work hard on dressing because of the effect of beauty cream, there is no need to worry about skin problems. Even without makeup, she can amazed the people present.
When Zhu Jingjing saw Chen Ting, she hurriedly walked over and said aggrievedly: "Sister Ting, I almost couldn't see you today."
As soon as she said this, Li Rui immediately coughed a few times.
Just so happened, Lin Zejiang came over, looked at Li Rui strangely, and asked, "What's wrong, brother, have you caught a cold?"
When Zhu Jingjing saw Li Rui's eyes, she immediately understood that he didn't want to tell these people about the car accident.
"It's nothing. Maybe I've been busy a little recently, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Lin Zejiang smiled and joked, "Stop coming, you are a miracle doctor, why are you pretending to be here? You have to stay drunk and stay away from home. Don't worry, my sister has a guest room here, and if you drink too much, she will be here for one night."
Chen Ting and Liang Ziying in the yard laughed.
"What are you still standing there? You're not unfamiliar, come here quickly, I've agreed that I won't be entertaining a lot of men and women."
Lin Wanqing let out a sweet cry, and walked over and took Li Rui's arm, pulled him into the house.

past.
When Chen Ting saw it, she was stunned and thought to herself, thinking about what was going on, why is Lin Wanqing so close to Li Rui? And she was in front of Zhu Jingjing. Isn’t this intentional stimulation of Zhu Jingjing?
Sure enough, when she turned her head, she saw Zhu Jingjing's cold eyes.
Fearing that she was angry, she was looking for trouble, Chen Ting hurriedly held Zhu Jingjing's hand and whispered: "I don't know what the situation is, but it seems that you have many rivals in love, and it may be just imaginary enemies."
"Hmph, don't blame Sister Wanqing. If you want to blame, blame Li Rui. He is a fickle young man, but I just like him like this. No matter how many women he has, I won't care."
When Chen Ting heard Zhu Jingjing beside her say this, she looked surprised.
She was so familiar with Zhu Jingjing. She might be generous in everything, but she would never be generous in relationships. Now she can say this, is she taking the wrong medicine?
"Dad, Uncle Fifth, you guys are coming out soon, everyone is here."
Lin Wanqing shouted as soon as she arrived at the door.
When Li Rui saw that Lin Yutang and Ma Wu were walking out of the house.
"Hello Uncle Lin! Hello, Master Fifth!"
After Li Rui called him this, Lin Yutang waved his hand and said, "Don't call him that, just call him dad."
Ma Wu joked, "You are too impatient. The matter between Li Rui and Wan Qing has not been confirmed yet. Are you sure that this son-in-law is yours?"
When they heard the conversation between Lin Yutang and Ma Wu, not only Zhu Jingjing and others were shocked, but even Lin Zejiang and Chen Ting looked at each other.
Lin Zejiang asked in a low voice: "Wife, what's the situation? Why did Li Rui hook up with my sister?"
"How can I know? Wanqing's gaze is so high that ordinary people can't even catch her eyes. What's important is that your father's sex is not that bad, so I just let Li Rui call him dad. This is too strange." Chen Ting said in a sigh.
Lin Zejiang snorted: "I knew Li Rui was not an ordinary person, a man who even Lin Wanqing could subdue. This must be an extraordinary man."
Both tables were almost full, and Li Rui was a junior, so he first filled Lin Yutang and Ma Wu with a bottle.
"Before drinking, let's be quiet. Before Li Rui and Jingjing came, I didn't let that happen. But now, it's necessary to let Li Rui clarify it himself. Li Rui, tell me, what's wrong with us?"
Lin Yutang said the first thing he said.
What did Lin Yutang ask himself to clarify?
Li Rui was stunned at first, but Lin Zejiang next to him pushed him and even made a move of turning his palms.
It seems that everyone knows that he and Zhu Jingjing had a car accident.
"Oh, this, Uncle Lin, actually..."
