Hearing this, Song Qianning raised her eyebrows and looked around at the strange woman.

The woman was wearing clothes that had not been changed for who knows how long. They had been washed so much that they looked pale. She had a timid expression on her face and exuded a sense of pity from the inside out.

After looking at the strange woman, Song Qianning touched his chin and asked, "What's your name?"

Under Song Qianning's gaze, the woman looked nervous and timid, and said in a low voice: "My name is Yue Cuicui."

"Why do you want to be a helper?"

Nowadays, whether it is a restaurant or somewhere else, most of the helpers are men, and there are very few women who volunteer to be helpers. Even if they do work, it is mostly embroidery or something like that.

Yue Cuicui lowered her head, biting her lip, and said in a somewhat lost voice, "Because I am an orphan and have nowhere else to go, I came to Miss Song for help."

"I've heard Miss Song's name on the street before, and I know you're a kind-hearted person. Now that you're opening a restaurant, you must be in need of helpers, so I've come to you with the audacity to ask for help."

Hearing this, Song Qianning neither agreed nor refused, but only asked: "Then what will you do?"

Yue Cuicui became more nervous. She looked at Song Qianning carefully and said, "I can do everything, from greeting guests to cleaning."

Song Qianning raised her eyebrows, looking puzzled, and asked a similar question: "I see you should have a place to live before, why did you suddenly want to be a helper? Is there no one else in your family?"

Yue Cuicui's face darkened, and she whispered, "To be honest, Miss Song, I have a reason for coming to you. As for my family..."

She bit her lips and said, "I am an orphan. My only family is my uncle and aunt, but they treat me so cruelly."

"Not only do I have to do the rough and tiring work every day, but I'm also responsible for most of the housework. Besides that, I eat the least."

"In order to have a place to stay, I had no choice but to obey my uncle and aunt's orders. I worked diligently every day just to get them to keep me. But I never thought that this would be my only wish."

Yue Cuicui's eyes turned red as she choked up and said, "My uncle and aunt thought I was wasting money, so they kicked me out of the house."

"I am a weak woman, and no one is willing to take me in. I really don't know where to go, so I have no choice but to come to you, Miss Song, in the hope of finding a place for myself to stay."

"As long as Miss Song is willing to take me in, I can do any job."

After hearing Yue Cuicui's miserable life story, Song Qianning fell into deep thought.

After a while of thinking, she raised her head again and looked at Yue Cuicui with a moving expression: "Okay, then you can stay and be my helper in the future."

Seeing that Song Qianning was willing to accept her, Yue Cuicui's eyes lit up and she looked excited and happy.

He nodded hurriedly, his voice trembling with excitement, and said incoherently: "Thank you, Miss Song, thank you, Miss Song, I will definitely work hard for you in the future and won't let you accept me in vain."

Patting Yue Cuicui's shoulder, Song Qianning smiled and comforted her, "We are all women, I understand your pain, I just did what I could."

Facing Song Qianning's comfort, Yue Cuicui was even more moved. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, and tears fell down: "Miss Song, you are the best person I have ever met."

Qin Ye, who was originally talking to Song Qianning with a smile, has not spoken since Yue Cuicui came in.

When Song Qianning agreed to take Yue Cuicui in, his brows immediately furrowed.

When Yue Cuicui disappeared, he looked at Song Qianning and said, "Miss Song, do you really want to accept Yue Cuicui?"

"Yes." Song Qianning admitted directly.

Glancing at the direction Yue Cuicui had left, and remembering how she had just complained to Song Qianning, Qin Ye pursed his lips tightly and spoke carefully, "Miss Song, you might as well think about this matter again."

"There's something wrong with Yue Cuicui. It might not be simple."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Qin Ye's words, Song Qianning's face did not show any surprise, but her smile deepened.

Noticing Song Qianning's smile, it was Qin Ye's turn to be surprised, and he vaguely guessed something in his heart.

As expected, Song Qianning said to him: "I know something is wrong with her."

As early as when Yue Cuicui complained, she noticed something was wrong.

"Miss Song knows?"

Nodding his head in a very bachelor-like manner, Song Qianning said indifferently: "I'm not stupid enough to believe everything others say."

She is not a fish with its head in water, and she still has some basic vigilance.

And the reason why she accepted Yue Cuicui...: "It's free labor, and it comes to me on my own, so I don't want to refuse it."

After hearing her words, Qin Ye suddenly realized that he was not the only one who noticed that something was wrong with Yue Cuicui.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Song Qianning was a little deeper, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that I was worrying too much. A smart person like Miss Song will naturally not be fooled easily."

After hearing this, Song Qianning showed a rare look of approval to him: "You are right, I am indeed a smart fish...man."

Taking in Song Qianning's self-conscious look, Qin Ye's smile deepened a little.

At the same time, the worries in his heart also subsided a little. Song Qianning was smarter and more clever than he had imagined, and there was no need for him to worry about her.

…

As time passed, the preparations for Song Qianning's restaurant were completed and it was time for the opening.

On the opening day of the restaurant, Qin Ye guessed that Song Qianning would be too busy, so he took the initiative to send Chang Qing to help.

Chang Qing naturally did not dare to refuse the order from his master. As soon as he received his order, he ran to help very quickly.

There were a lot of customers on the opening day. In addition to Song Qianning's regular customers, there were also many ordinary people attracted by the restaurant. The entire restaurant was crowded.

"Miss Song, good luck with your opening."

"Miss Song is a good cook, so the food in the restaurant must taste good too."

"Oh, I heard there's a new restaurant opening on this street. I didn't expect it to be Miss Song's."

"I often couldn't buy cooked food in the store before, so I must eat to my heart's content today."

After welcoming the guests inside, Song Qianning looked at Chang Qing with a bright smile: "Mr. Chang Qing, thank you for your help."

Chang Qing's mouth twitched as he glanced at the guests who kept entering the restaurant.

Remembering his master's order, Chang Qing took a deep breath and continued to work as a waiter in the restaurant, enduring humiliation.

As a restaurant owner, Song Qianning was very happy to collect money and turned into a happy money-collecting fish.

Just as Song Qianning was happily collecting money, the road ahead was suddenly blocked by a customer.

The guest stared at Song Qianning with lustful eyes and rubbed his hands from time to time.

"What are you doing?"

"I just want to say a few words to Miss Song." The guest looked at Song Qianning with a somewhat vulgar smile.
