However, they did not have enough money to pay the lease. "The money we have is far from enough to rent that storefront," Xu Huizhen said with a disappointed look.
"Don't worry, sometimes money is not the only solution." He Yuzhu comforted her, and then said, "I have a suggestion, you can try it."
"Tell me about it." Xu Hui looked at him with genuine curiosity.

Xu Huizhen's eyes flashed with anticipation. He Yuzhu smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery, and waved to her gently.
Xu Huizhen walked forward and approached He Yuzhu, and he leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.
"Will this method really work?" Xu Huizhen seemed a little worried and asked softly.
"Don't worry, I'm confident that it will work." He Yuzhu answered confidently. Hearing this, Xu Huizhen gave him an encouraging look. After discussing it, the two decided to act according to the plan proposed by He Yuzhu.
The next day, He Yuzhu led Xu Huizhen to an empty shop near the South Gate. From the outside, the shop looked deserted, with doors and windows closed and the interior of the shop deserted.
They walked around the store and found an old sign hanging above the store with three large characters "～Weixiangfang" clearly written on it.
"This sign is good. We can continue to use it after we take over." Xu Huizhen looked at the store carefully and was delighted. After discussion, they decided to buy the store and start renovating it.
A few days later, the renovation was successfully completed. The entire store was brand new, and the signboard was changed to a brand new "Food is Heaven".
"Huizhen, our branch is about to open." He Yuzhu looked at the brand new store, his heart full of anticipation.
"Okay, let's get ready now." Xu Huizhen began the preparations with great anticipation. A few days later, the new branch opened grandly.
After discussing with Xu Huizhen, He Yuzhu decided to hire several experienced chefs. They published a recruitment information in the newspaper, which soon attracted many people's attention and applications. After screening, they finally found several chefs with superb cooking skills. These chefs not only have outstanding skills, but also have innovative spirits. With their joining, the dishes of "Food for Heaven" are increasingly loved by customers, and the business is very hot, with customers coming in an endless stream every day.
Seeing all their efforts pay off, He Yuzhu and Xu Hui were truly satisfied and felt extremely happy.
Since the store was changed from a pub to a restaurant, the number of people coming to buy wine has decreased significantly. Xu Huizhen checked the sales records for a month and found that most of the customers who came to eat would bring some wine with them. Therefore, she discussed with He Yuzhu how to improve wine sales.
"Yuzhu, I've always wanted to make this a nice tavern again." Xu Huizhen is a familiar face to the drinkers and is used to dealing with them. Since she became the hotel manager, she no longer feels as comfortable as before.
He Yuzhu was silent for a moment and looked at her seriously. "Actually, I've always thought it's a good idea to turn this place back into a tavern. I looked at the sales data before and found that the sales of alcohol have indeed dropped after it was converted into a restaurant."
Xu Huizhen looked at him in surprise: "Do you think so too?"
"Yes, I support you in doing so. And we can transform it into a late-night place to serve the nightlife community."
"This is a great idea!" Xu Huizhen's eyes lit up.
They are full of confidence in the future and are determined to implement this new plan.
We can choose a busy location and create a retro yet modern style venue that will definitely be very eye-catching.
In addition, we can also add some unique features.
For example, providing live singing so that customers can enjoy music while tasting wine, He Yuzhu suggested.
After listening to He Yuzhu's advice, Xu Huizhen became more confident.
"Yuzhu, thank you! With your support, I really feel more motivated," said Xu Huizhen.
"We are husband and wife." He Yuzhu responded with a smile.
"Since we have decided to open the pub, let's act quickly."
Xu Huizhen nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will find a suitable store as soon as possible and start decorating it."
He Yuzhu added, "Please let me know if you need my help at any time."
The two reached an agreement and immediately began preparations.
Not long after, Xu Huizhen approached the landlord and asked if there was a shop available for rent that suited her taste.
After several days of searching, we found a suitable store in the city center. Although it is not big, it is very attractive because of its prime location and dense flow of people.
After negotiating with the landlord, Xu Huizhen rented the store and carefully designed the overall layout of the pub according to her own ideas.
After a month-long renovation project, "Late Night Stories" was officially launched with a new look.
The unique style of the pub attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.
To welcome the official opening of the pub, Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu went to the door to welcome the guests. The pub was packed with people that day and business was booming.
Seeing the hustle and bustle in the bar, the two were full of infinite expectations for the future of this small world. "I think we did the right thing." He Yuzhu said with emotion. "Our bar has become an indispensable part of the city's nightlife." Xu Huizhen smiled and agreed.
They realized that this small corner carries their hard work, dreams and beautiful visions.
One night, a middle-aged man walked into the pub.
He was wearing a black windbreaker and his hair was neatly cut short. As soon as he stepped into the pub, he looked around at the design and nodded in appreciation.
Xu Huizhen walked forward and warmly greeted the guest.
“Good evening, and welcome to Late Night Stories. What would you like to drink?”
The middle-aged man looked at the wine list carefully and finally chose a glass of health-preserving medicinal wine.
While he was savoring the food, he was chatting with Xu Huizhen. "I heard that your store has many wonderful stories to tell?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes, this is where many people's stories take place."
Xu Huizhen greeted them with sincerity and said, "Every night different people share their experiences here." "Then I also want to tell a story." The middle-aged man took a sip of wine.
Xu Hui sincerely replied: "Of course. Do you have any special experience you want to share with us?"
The middle-aged man took a sip of wine and began to slowly recount his life - from his early youth to the ups and downs, setbacks and achievements in his later life. These experiences were both emotional and resonant. When he finished speaking, he looked at his wife who was listening attentively in front of him,
"Thank you for taking the time to listen to me talk about this long journey," the middle-aged man said to Xu Huizhen gently.
"This is one of the best things I've gained tonight," Xu Huizhen expressed her feelings sincerely.
This moment is warm and meaningful, as if time has stood still; not only an opportunity for communication between two strangers, but also a beautiful memory created by shared memories.
This story carries Xu Huizhen's many years of experience, and she hopes to pass on this precious emotion to more people through the stage of the tavern. The middle-aged man was deeply touched after hearing her words, "Thank you very much for sharing such a beautiful story." He said. "We will record it so that more guests can feel the power of it."
The man smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you." Gradually, the middle-aged man became a regular customer of the tavern, and he would often come to tell his story. His story not only touched every customer who listened, but also became a unique landscape of the tavern. One night, the middle-aged man told Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu a news that was about to change.
"I'm leaving," he told them.
"I received a job opportunity that requires me to move to another city." Hearing this news, Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu were somewhat sad. "It's such a pity."
“But I will miss this place too,” the man said with a smile. “Late-night stories have become my spiritual home.”
He went on to say, "In the pub, not only my story was listened to, but I also heard the voices of many others. I felt that I became more powerful." After hearing this, Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu were deeply touched. "We will continue to pass on the charm of these stories and let more people experience the power brought by this resonance." Xu Huizhen promised.
Hearing this, the man smiled with satisfaction and said, "I believe you and Yuzhu can do better. I'm really grateful." Then, with reluctance, the middle-aged man finally bid farewell to the city, but everything he brought - the power of the story and the unique atmosphere of the late-night story remained and infected wave after wave of people who came to this small bar.
As the days passed, Xu Huizhen and He Yuzhu continued to run the pub. "Late Night Stories" gradually became one of the signature features of the local nightlife, attracting countless tourists to explore its charm. Various themed activities continued to emerge, including theme parties, story exchanges, etc., further enhancing its popularity and influence. One night, a girl in an elegant white dress walked into the pub, looking particularly gentle and quiet under the soft light.
The girl ordered a glass of red wine and sat in a corner, quietly savoring the atmosphere of the pub. Xu Huizhen was very attentive and quickly noticed the unique aura of this guest.
So I walked over and asked politely, "Is this your first time here?" The girl raised her head and gave a sweet smile. "Yes, I came here on a trip and heard that it was a lively place, so I came to take a look."
The girl looked around curiously and asked, "Are you two a couple?" This sentence brought the atmosphere closer. Looking at each other's innocent and friendly eyes, the two looked at each other tacitly and admitted with a smile. "Yes, we are indeed a couple." Xu Huizhen replied. Hearing this, the girl smiled approvingly again and continued chatting: I see.
“The stories here are always fascinating.”
