Chapter 163

At this time, Li Lei was standing in front of Meng Xiaoning's house and said to Meng Xiaoning, "Go in."

Meng Xiaoning nodded, a little hesitant.

"Thank you for your clothes and movies, how about I invite you to dinner next weekend?" Meng Xiaoning asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Li Lei nodded cheerfully: "Okay, then we will meet at the entrance of the market at ten o'clock in the morning next weekend."

Meng Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief, and then went home happily.

When Meng Xiaoning returned home, Li Lei raised his wrist and glanced at it, it was already 7:30 in the evening.

He hesitated for a while, but went home.

Even if I go back to my eldest sister, I have to go home early tomorrow morning, so there is no point in staying for such a night.

Moreover, if you go to the eldest sister, you will definitely be questioned.

He didn't want to be cross-examined by the eldest sister.

When I got home, the small shop hadn't closed yet, Li Lei called Li Xu.

If you don't say a word, the eldest sister will definitely be worried.

Li Xu, who was still waiting in the store for Li Lei to go back and ask what was going on, was completely dumbfounded when she received the call: "Go back? How are you and Xiaoning? How are you talking today?"

Li Lei said: "Fortunately, we made an appointment to eat together next weekend, and I will come over next Saturday morning!"

"Really? What is Xiaoning's attitude?" Li Xu got a little excited when she heard the words.

Li Lei didn't want to say any more, just said: "Okay, sister, the phone bill is too expensive, I won't tell you, goodbye."

Having said that, he hung up the phone bluntly.

"Hey, don't hang up yet..." Li Xu shouted slowly and didn't stop Li Lei.

Looking at the hung up call, Li Xu shook her head helplessly and put the microphone down.

"Xiao Lei is also..."

Zhang Kun watched from the side and persuaded her in a low voice: "If you know that the two of them are having fun, don't ask any more questions. Xiaolei is almost thirty years old, so don't keep controlling him. Did you tell your parents about the process? You have to learn to compare your hearts!"

Listening to Zhang Kun's words, Li Xu didn't say anything for a while.

After a long time, she sighed deeply: "You are right, I worry too much. Xiaolei is five years younger than me. When I was young, my parents were busy and had to work in the fields every day. Xiaolei is He grew up on my back, and later he became a soldier, and he left for eight years. In my heart, he is still a child, and he does not understand the world, and I am afraid that he has done something wrong!"

But in fact, Li Lei is almost thirty years old and is already a mature adult.

He has his own judgment, and the people around him should not influence his decision.

"Just figure it out, worry so much, and I'm still too tired to panic, why bother?" Zhang Kun said with a smile, and turned to Li Xu to talk about other things, "By the way, the house opposite your house The Lord came back and asked me to go through the formalities another day. I just renovated it a few years ago, and I will be able to live in it after the year.”

Li Xu was also very happy to hear it.

"Do you have enough money? If not..."

Before Li Xu could finish speaking, Zhang Kun interrupted, "Not enough, I asked my brother and sister to borrow some, so you don't have to worry about it."

Although prices have fallen, they haven't dropped much. The money in his hand was still a thousand yuan, so he asked his younger brother and sister to borrow five hundred yuan.

"It's not easy for your brothers and sisters. Go and repay their money another day. I have money here, you can use it first." Li Xu whispered.

When she went back that time, she could see that Zhang Kun's younger siblings had average living conditions at home.

Especially his younger sister, who is young and has hands like old tree bark, at first glance, she knows that she has a lot of work at home.

For her, a thousand dollars is half a month's worth of money, but for her younger brothers and sisters, it may take more than half a year to earn this money.

"You can't wait to give me your money before you get married? Wouldn't it be easy for me to cheat some money from you if I were a bad person?" Zhang Kun said jokingly.

Li Xu listened, the expression on her face was a little embarrassed, and her face was a little red: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She naturally knew that Zhang Kun was not that kind of person, so she offered to lend him money.

"Okay, there's not much money. I'll pay them back when I'm paid. Don't worry, my brothers and sisters, I can still make things difficult for them?" Zhang Kun said, "You can keep your money yourself, here. The business is good, and when we save up the money, we can open a branch."

Li Xu nodded: "I also have this plan."

"By the way, have you ever thought about our sign, but it's easy for someone to imitate it. They put up a sign exactly like ours, who knows if it's our branch? If it runs well, it won't be too big for us. At most, the impact is to distribute some business. But if the other party's management is not good and they play some small tricks, it will directly affect our reputation! "

Li Xu nodded thoughtfully, "Then what do you mean..."

Zhang Kun did not speak for a while. He has been thinking about this issue for a few days, but he has not thought of a good way to prevent it.

"Mom, Uncle Zhang, we can go and register a trademark." Ji Yuanyuan, who had been doing his homework beside him, heard the conversation between the two, put the pen on the table, and suggested.

"Registered trademark?" Li Xu murmured.

People in this era are not so sensitive to things like trademarks, and some people don't even know what a trademark is.

"Yes, we design a pattern ourselves, which is our trademark. Just like on the washing machine in our house, aren't there two little boys with bare bottoms? That is the trademark." Ji Yuanyuan wrote in a serious science.

"After we register, if someone dares to use the same trademark as ours, then he is infringing, and we can go to court to sue them. And if we have a trademark, we have a brand. Although we only have one store now, it is not useful. It's huge, but we'll definitely use it later."

Listening to Ji Yuanyuan's words, Li Xu's eyes lit up.

After a while, she discussed with Zhang Kun: "Wait another day, I'll inquire about this matter."

Zhang Kun nodded and looked at Ji Yuanyuan, "Then what we have to do now is to find someone to design a pattern for us as our trademark, right?"

Ji Yuanyuan looked at Zhang Kun with great admiration: "Yes, there are many people who specially designed this."

Zhang Kun was a little surprised, "Yuan Yuan, where did you know all these things?"

"From the book, and from the TV." Ji Yuanyuan lowered his head and muttered.

Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other.

Ji Yuanyuan was afraid that Li Xu and Zhang Kun would continue to ask questions, so he yawned quickly and said, "Mom, I'm sleepy."

Li Xu quickly said: "Okay, wait for mom to clean up, let's go home and sleep!"
