Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 3 Busy Mother in the Pastry Shop

Bao Zixuan was sitting in a taxi heading towards Taikoo Shing, located on the east side of Xiangjiang Island. His family is in Taikoo Shing Community, and his mother, Li Yulin, bought a 1,200-square-foot house and an 800-square-foot shop in Taikoo Shing when the Taikoo Shing Group was just developing it. It was also a woman who raised her children easily over the years. main reason.

Li Yulin opened a pastry shop in Taikoo Shing. Although the price is relatively cheap, she can still earn about HK$400,000 a year because she owns the shop. It can be said that the living expenses and tuition fees for Li Yulin, mother and son are completely sufficient.

It can be said that Bao Zixuan is a little unfamiliar with this mother whom she has not yet met. Even his ex is not particularly clear about this mother. I only know through memory that when I was a child, I would rummage through things at home. I know that Li Yulin graduated from the accounting department of Xiangjiang University, but she has never seen any relatives except her mother since she can remember.

When I was a child, I asked my mother questions about my father, but every time the answer was that he died while going to sea; and the money to buy a house and shop was obtained by his father's death. I didn't think much about it when I was young, but with 50 years of life experience, I knew that even if a sailor encountered a shipwreck, it was impossible to compensate too much, especially in Hong Kong in this era.

Since my mother doesn't want to say anything, I think it's better not to ask in the future; to avoid embarrassment for everyone, since I borrowed this body to come to this era. Then I have the obligation to help you fulfill the responsibilities that a son should bear; to fulfill the filial piety that a son should have; to do everything that a son can do for his mother.

After getting out of the taxi with the suitcase, it was already 5:20 pm, which was the busiest time in the store. There are a total of 7 staff in the store. In addition to the cashier at the front desk who is responsible for my mother, the remaining 6 people include two couples, both middle-aged people in their 40s. I have been working in the store since it opened eight years ago, responsible for making pastries. The remaining two little girls are about 20 years old and are shopping guides responsible for guiding customers to sales. The two girls themselves had never met each other. Moreover, the store has also been renovated. Maybe my mother renovated it based on the photos she sent when she saw the appearance of foreign pastry shops in London!

Pastry shops with floor-to-ceiling glass windows are still very rare in Xiangjiang in this era. The open pastry workshop was even more unique in Xiangjiang in the 1970s. Seeing his mother busy, Bao Zixuan couldn't help but feel a little unbearable; she was much older than when she left two years ago.

When Bao Zixuan walked into the store, Li Yulin saw her son walking over excitedly, but when she saw that her son had gauze wrapped on his head, she immediately asked with concern: "Axuan, what's wrong? Why is he injured? Yan It’s not serious!”

Bao Zixuan: "Mommy, it's okay. I was accidentally hit by the suitcase on the plane. I have gone to the hospital to bandage it. I have also had a comprehensive examination. I will go to the hospital in three days and change the medicine." The previous life was very small. Having lost his loved ones, especially his mother, he once again felt family affection and care! It felt like he hadn't owned this clock in many years.

Li Yulin: "That's good. After I finished speaking, I turned to the little girl next to me and said: Xiaoli, take a look, I'll take my son home first; I just came back from London, I'll be back in a minute."

"Okay, boss lady; this is your son! He is such a handsome boy!" After saying that, he smiled.

Bao Zixuan: "Mommy, it's okay. I'm not tired. It just so happens that I haven't helped you with work for a long time. I learned some skills in London. In order to help you figure out the management of the pastry shop in London, I'm here I did this for two months during my vacation." After saying that, he put the suitcase behind the cashier. It's already very hot in Xiangjiang this month, so he wears short sleeves. After washing my hands in the sink, I started my work.

To be honest, Bao Zixuan has been a very sensible child since he was a child. This is probably the reason why children from single-parent families mature relatively early; he comes to the store to help every time he comes home from school and during holidays. So I started making pastries very early; after putting on my white work clothes, I went to the kitchen, which occupies half of the entire store. After greeting Lao Zhang and Lao Liu in a familiar manner, and after seeing that my mother purchased all the new pastry making machines he provided, she still sent me money on time every month. Bao Zixuan felt a little sad, but at the same time he was very moved. This is his mother! I would rather save for myself and live a harder life, but also give the best to my son. He shook his head and started his work.

At the same time, in a luxurious villa in the villa complex in the middle of Xiangjiang, a young man was reporting something to a middle-aged man. If Bao Zixuan saw it, he would definitely feel familiar, yes; these two people were the ones he was with. Zhang Yuliang and his bodyguard whom I met on and off the plane.

Bodyguard: "Fourth Master, as you ordered, I accompanied him to the hospital. However, Cathay Pacific paid all the medical expenses and compensated the boy named Bao with 10,000 pounds. After leaving the hospital, we went to Standard Chartered Bank. , and transferred 200,000 yuan directly to his account. However, he refused the driver we arranged and took a taxi home by himself; do you want to follow up?"

Zhang Yuliang: "Forget it, as long as this matter will not have a bad impact on Youran. I don't want you to send it. He seems to be a smart person. He doesn't want to get involved with our Zhang family in this matter. This is also A kind of self-protection! It seems that he is self-aware. Although he is a student from Oxford and MIT, there is really no shortage of such talents in Xiangjiang; besides, he is an engineering major and has nothing to do with our Zhang family industry."

Bodyguard: "Okay, I understand, Fourth Master; but if the lady asks."

Zhang Yuliang: "It's okay, I will explain to her." At this time, Zhang Youran walked in, and the bodyguard politely withdrew.

Zhang Youran: "Dad, how is that Bao Zixuan? What will A Yuan say when he comes back?"

Zhang Yuliang: "Don't worry! My good daughter has gone to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. It's just a little skin injury. And I also compensated him. He is a smart man and knows what to do! Besides, you were also careless, I We won’t let others feel that our Zhang family is bullying others. Well, you just came back, so you’d better have a good rest, we’ll go see our grandparents tomorrow morning.”

Bao Zixuan was mixing noodles skillfully when he saw this. Lao Liu said, "The skills of the young boss are getting better and better. If you don't study and do this, we people will be unemployed."

Lao Liu is 46 years old this year. The two of them have been working in the store and can be said to be the elderly in the store. However, Bao Zixuan was wearing work clothes and had covered the bandaged wound on his head, so this did not attract too much attention.

Seeing her son busy inside, Li Yulin smiled happily. The people who buy things here are all acquaintances from the neighborhood, everyone knows each other, and the lady boss has been smiling today. Some old customers joked: "What kind of happy event does Boss Li have! Why is he in such a good mood today? Is there someone pursuing him recently? He wants to radiate his second spring!"

Li Yulin: "No way, my son is back from London." At this time, someone next to him whispered, "Boss Li's son is very promising. He was admitted to Oxford University." Everyone was talking about it!

Then someone started to say: "Does the boss's son have a girlfriend? My daughter is single! And she is very beautiful!" At this time, a very fat woman retorted. "Don't be joking. Your daughter weighs 160 pounds, which is heavier than me. Don't scare the boss wife's son!" After saying this, everyone laughed.

It wasn't until after 8 o'clock in the evening that the store was not so busy, so Li Yulin called her son from the kitchen, arranged some things, and left the store to go home.
