Upon hearing this, Manager Li frowned.

He stared at Manager Qian: "Manager Qian, what you're saying is probably inappropriate."

The Gu family is facing tremendous difficulties at this time, and everyone needs to contribute their utmost strength and provide full assistance.

They share in the glory and the loss of the Gu family and Zui Shan Xuan.

How can you boost others' morale while diminishing your own?

Manager Qian didn't care at all: "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just telling the truth."

Manager Li didn't want to talk about these things anymore. Seeing the waiter hesitating not far away, he immediately said, "I advise Manager Qian to swallow these words and not let them reach the master's ears. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

He took two steps, then suddenly stopped: "Excuse me for speaking frankly, when Manager Qian fled to Shengcheng to seek refuge, he almost starved to death on the streets. If it weren't for the boss's great kindness in saving him, I don't know where Manager Qian would be right now, or even if he would still be Manager Qian."

Manager Li left after he finished speaking.

Manager Qian stood still, his gaze gradually turning gloomy.

He's been the shopkeeper for over ten years and has unique insights into business. He's quite well-known now, and if this matter ruins his reputation...

Manager Qian clenched his fists; he absolutely would not allow it!

...

Shen Jiao and her group did not go directly to Zui Shan Xuan, but instead sat in a teahouse opposite Zui Shan Xuan to observe what was happening inside.

"That little girl is so cute," she said casually.

Ji Yan glanced at it casually and scoffed, "What's so interesting about a drooling little radish?"

Shen Jiao: "???"

Little radish?

Could it be that in the eyes of this tyrant, humans are just a bunch of walking, sentient radishes?

"Am I a radish too?" Shen Jiao asked, a little curious.

When Ji Yan is in a good mood, the corners of her eyes always turn up slightly.

No, you are not.

Shen Jiao thought to herself, "That's good. I'm so beautiful, even if I were described as a pretty but ugly radish, I wouldn't be happy..."

The tea was a little hot. She looked at the tea leaves swirling in the teacup and asked, "Then what am I?"

Ji Yan paused for a moment: "Anyway, it's not a radish."

If it's not a radish, then what is it? Shen Jiao always felt that something was off about the tyrant's mind.

She tentatively guessed, "Is it a living thing or a dead thing?"

Ji Yan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Naturally, it must be a living thing. I don't like inanimate objects."

Now, Shen Jiao no longer cared about asking what kind of living creature it was. She propped her face up with her hands and looked at the tyrant, her eyebrows and eyes curving like crescent moons, her smile more radiant than spring and autumn.

"According to this logic, rounding it up, His Majesty likes me?"

Ji Yan's calm and composed expression inexplicably took on a strange tinge.

He poked Shen Jiao's cheek: "That's just sophistry."

Shen Jiao: "Is that true or not?"

Ji Yan: "No."

Shen Jiao: "Your Majesty, what do you think will happen?"

Ji Yan spouted nonsense: "It will cause a toothache."

Shen Jiao: "..."

Just you wait, one day I'll pull out all your teeth!

Four people sat at a square table. Liang Heng, who had been single for over twenty years, found it hard to bear the flirting between the two people opposite him.

Don't say that women are fickle; men are just as fickle.

Take the tyrant for example. Just two days ago, he was fiercely declaring that he and Sister Shen would return to the right path, but now he acts as if he has completely forgotten what he said.

Oh, the man about to fall in love.

Liang Heng shook his head and turned to talk to Gu An.

"I think I smell a familiar scent." Gu An twitched his nose and suddenly sniffed sharply towards the window.

Liang Heng joked, "Could it be familiarity with the family business?"

"No." Gu An shook his head, then said seriously, "It tastes like Shen Qingcheng."

With a "thud,"

The teacup in Liang Heng's hand fell onto the table, but fortunately, no hot tea had been poured in yet.

He picked up the teacup, suddenly feeling less inclined to chat.

Liang Heng wanted to cry but had no tears. Loneliness was nowhere near what he and Gu An shared.

He was always the only one who was lonely.

"Shen Qingcheng?" Upon hearing this, Shen Jiao was curious and peeked out towards the entrance of Zui Shan Xuan.

On the bustling street, a figure with outstanding style and extraordinary presence stood out.

As expected, it was Shen Qingcheng. Not only was he the young master, but there was also someone behind him whom he didn't really want to see: Shen Qingye.

Why isn't Chenyu here?

That's really rare.

Shen Jiao couldn't help but sigh.

It must be said that when God closes one door, the other window is of absolutely top-notch quality.

Although Gu Xiaoyou is dizzy and wears a mask all year round, his sense of smell and hearing are excessively sensitive and accurate.

...

Although Shen Qingye and Shen Yu were temporarily staying at the Third Prince's residence, Shen Qingcheng directly refused the Third Prince's invitation and continued to stay at the inn.

Firstly, it was not a good thing for him, as a general of the Great Yan, to get too close to the prince of the Southern Frontier.

Secondly, he was worried that if Shen Jiao came looking for him, she wouldn't be able to find him.

However, she is no longer the little girl who used to follow him around asking for candied hawthorns.

most……

I will never contact that irresponsible older brother again.

During his two days at the Gu family's residence, Gu An, ever the smooth talker, managed to extract the Gu family's solution to the Youlan River problem by simply asking them a few questions.

Gu An was afraid that he wouldn't believe her, so she specially asked the chef to make him a plate of crayfish.

Although Shen Qingcheng only ate two, the rest of the crayfish ended up in Gu An's stomach, and he also tasted how delicious the crayfish were.

When Gu An told Shen Qingcheng that this method came from Shen Jiao.

Shen Qingcheng was momentarily dazed. Had he not truly understood her for a long time?
