Upon hearing this, Chairman Fu's ulterior motives resurfaced:

"You haven't been coming to the office lately because of her?"

Fu Jue replied lazily, "Not entirely. After working for three years, Lao Deng, you should give me a break."

Speaking of this, Fu Linyue became angry again:

"Let go! Let go! Let go! I haven't had a proper rest in years, so if anyone should be letting go, it should be me."

Suddenly, Chairman Fu recalled that when Lin Jiao was angry with him, she had said something similar, and he felt a pang of sadness:

"When are you going to find someone? Hurry up and come back to work, I want to travel the world with your mom!"

Hey! As expected of the seasoned Chairman Fu, you can tell from Fu Jue's little actions that he hasn't even won her over yet.

Even though Fu Jue was directly exposed, he didn't lose his composure. What he wanted was a lifetime together, so it should be taken slowly. As long as the person was by his side, that was enough.

——

A beautiful day begins with waking up early and basking in the morning light.

Tao Zhizhi slept very well last night and had no dreams.

Humming the ending theme of last night's variety show, I walked briskly toward the warm food stall.

Fu Jue wore a simple and relaxed black short-sleeved shirt with a pair of high-quality white wide-leg pants, which coincidentally matched Tao Zhizhi's white top and black bottom outfit.

Seeing his handsome face first thing in the morning, the slight dissatisfaction I had about getting up early vanished.

"Good morning, Zhizhi!"

Fu Jue handed over the breakfast he had prepared in advance.

Tao Zhizhi waved her hand and declined, "Thank you, but no need, I've already eaten."

Fu Jue didn't feel embarrassed at all, and her smile remained gentle: "Yes, it's good that you've eaten."

The two entered the store side by side. With Fu Jue handling the ingredients, she had an excuse to go into a small booth.

She used to stay up late, and last night she had some trouble falling asleep at first. She went into the system kitchen to learn how to make Spanish paella for a while, and came out just after midnight. Sleepiness overcame her and she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The shop usually opens at 10 a.m., so I have two hours to learn how to cook this dish first, so I can finish what I started!

"Here! Here!"

Blueberry firecrackers hold aloft their self-printed blueberry flags, which they hang on their shoulders when not in use; they're small and inconspicuous.

Nearly a dozen blueberry fans, including Berry Sundae and someone who changed his name after earning over 10,000 yuan a month, arrived outside the shop at 9:30 a.m.

When Su Bai was about to open the door, he was a little overwhelmed by the large crowd, because his regular customers usually came during mealtimes.

Tao Zhizhi returned from her studies and sat on the small bed, her eyes glazed over, trying to relax her mind and body.

As soon as the shop opened, it welcomed many new customers, and the noise reached the kitchen.

She rushed over upon hearing the noise.

The moment Blueberry Firecracker saw Tao Zhizhi, her eyes widened, and she ran to her side as if they were old friends.

"Hey beautiful lady, we're all fans of Cheese Blueberry! We've seen you in your live streams before!"

"You're so beautiful! Can I take a picture with you?"

Blueberry Firecracker is a sweet girl with a round face. Tao Zhizhi looked at her and saw her blinking her big eyes at her, and couldn't bear to refuse her.

After taking a few photos with her, other fans came up to ask her questions, and she obliged them all.

His face was so stiff from smiling that he quickly left the lobby under the pretext of going back to cook.

She returned to the kitchen, patted her chest, and let out a long sigh: "They were so incredibly hospitable!"

Hearing some noises outside, Fu Jue guessed what was happening and handed over an apron.

"If there are too many people, I won't go out. I'll come if needed."

She put on her apron and looked back at the kitchen after a week's work. Fu Jue had still kept it impeccably organized, and she was filled with admiration: [He has the potential to be a good husband and father!]

Tao Zhizhi didn't waste any more time and started preparing the dishes in preparation for the upcoming surge in orders.

Soon after, Zhou Nan's food-hunting team, who didn't believe in bad luck, also arrived at the warm food stall, only to see the deliveryman carrying a full load of food in both hands, walking briskly by.

If you didn't count carefully, there seemed to be more than ten portions. The group looked at each other, then nodded: [Looks like we didn't get the wrong ones!]

Two more groups of blueberry fans followed closely behind.

There were no empty seats in the store, and the fans, who were in good spirits, took charge and started queuing up with umbrellas.

Tao Zhizhi cooked one dish after another without taking a break.

Fu Jue felt a pang of sympathy watching from the side. He stepped forward and gently wiped away her sweat, and fed her warm water from time to time.

The flow of customers was constant. Regular customers who usually came to the hot food stall at the appointed time to have a hearty meal found that the queue had already stretched outside the courtyard.

Several people were also standing in the shade of the big trees outside; they were all regular customers who usually came to dine at the same time.

Because there hadn't been such a large flow of customers before, Su Bai could only tear off some paper to write down numbers, while Fu Jue pushed the free mung bean soup that had been prepared in advance in front of everyone.

They were gestured to take it themselves, as the Blueberry Fan Club already had fans who came because of the handsome guy in the store, as described by the Berry Saint.

Upon seeing him in person, none of them dared to utter a sound. Only after Fu Jue left did they engage in a heated discussion with their sisters!

"Wow! I knew our fans had great taste!"

"How can someone be so good-looking! [Excited.jpg]"

"Want my WeChat?"

"I dare not—"

"Me too—I usually only dare to glance at these kinds of amazing items a few times to make up for the loss!"

Zhou Nan's fans weren't so interested in the handsome guy; they were busy scrambling to pick up food for him.

While eating Tao Zhizhi's cooking, I thought of those guys in the group who complained about trendy restaurants. I'm glad I didn't believe their nonsense.

They will regret missing out on such a delicious meal for the rest of their lives.

Su Bai was so busy that he was constantly on the go, and even with the air conditioning set to 17 degrees Celsius, he was still covered in sweat.

The kitchen staff were working tirelessly, and Fu Jue was also constantly processing ingredients and assisting Tao Zhizhi.

Tao Zhizhi was extremely busy. Every table of guests placed large orders, asking for several portions, and asking Su Bai to pack up the leftovers.

Regular customers waited for almost an hour before gradually leaving, waving their hands and saying, "[We live in Qingshui, how could we not get a meal?]"

Two days later, they wanted to slap themselves; today was the most likely day they'd get to eat it t_t

Passersby stopped in their tracks when they saw the queue forming at the hot food stall, and those who loved to join in the fun certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity.

They stood at the back of the line and joined in.

Su Bai saw that the table numbers had been written up to seventy or eighty tables, so he hurried to the kitchen to tell Tao Zhizhi.

Fu Jue calmly counted the remaining ingredients.

"There are about 45 tables left, and we should order more ingredients for dinner."

Tao Zhizhi frowned, pursed her lips, and pondered for a while:

"Sister Su Bai, go and tell the guests that there are still forty-five tables left, and the rest of them don't need to queue anymore."

By the time this wave of customers ended, it was already 3 PM. Tao Zhizhi and Su Bai were so exhausted that they collapsed onto the table, looking like dying salted fish.

Fu Jue, who exercises regularly and enjoys some exciting activities, couldn't help but break out in a light sweat.

"Zhizhi, go to the next room and rest for a while."
