Feeling bad, the older woman grabbed Lin Qingyu's sleeve as Lin Qingyu turned to leave.

"Young lady, to tell you the truth... actually..."

The older woman explained that someone had asked her to come over, and Lin Qingyu already knew what was going on. This further confirmed her suspicions.

The older woman felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so she put the buns on the table into her basket and slunk away.

The people in the shop felt a little uneasy when they saw the person leave like that.

Lin Qingyu then struck while the iron was hot, clapping her hands as she stood in the restaurant.

"Thank you all for coming. Today, we're still offering a 20% discount on meals, and I'll be giving everyone here two free meat buns—freshly baked meat buns!"

Her space is full of meat, not only pork, but also beef, chicken, duck, and all kinds of seafood, all stored fresh in her space.

I don't feel bad about giving away steamed buns at all.

Everyone was even more astonished, and someone started cheering, "The boss lady is so generous!"

"That's right!"

"It's much better than that Lai Fu Restaurant!"

Most of the people present were frequent patrons of various restaurants. They were not only picky eaters, but also very enthusiastic about sharing their opinions on the pros and cons of different restaurants.

Lin Qingyu found out about the restaurant by asking around in the neighborhood. It was in a good location, but the Laifu Restaurant was on the same street as the department store.

Yesterday was only the first day of business, and people were already getting restless.

Since they are both privately owned restaurants, the competition is definitely fierce.

Lin Qingyu pushed a small cart with a steamer on it, still steaming.

"Eat and drink well, everyone. If you're still hungry, we'll get more. It's all you can eat!"

The rice at Lin Qingyu's place costs one cent per serving, but it's all-you-can-eat. You can keep asking for more as long as you're not full, but you can't waste it or take it away.

"Thank you, ma'am! I'll definitely recommend your restaurant when I get back. Where can you find such a conscientious place these days!"

"That's right!"

The guests at the restaurant were enjoying their meal, and Lin Qingyu was happy too. However, although she knew who was behind it all, there was nothing she could do.

She thought about it and decided to hold back for now and see what other tricks they had up their sleeves.

Lin Qingyu went to the hospital and got someone to prescribe a bottle of mentholatum, which is said to remove paint.

When it got dark and fewer people were around, she moved one of the doors outside and started wiping it with mentholatum, and it actually worked.

After pouring the whole bottle down, it was a struggle to clean her up. In the end, she smelled strongly of mentholatum all over her.

She washed her hands for ages before the smell finally dissipated. She did all this outside the restaurant, and many people saw her.

A kind older woman helped her move the door panel.

This has caused quite a stir; I just don't know if people still have any ideas about her restaurant.

When Gu Shi came to pick him up, although Lin Qingyu had tried her best to restore the door, the smell of mentholatum in the air was still faint.

"What happened?"

As soon as he saw Lin Qingyu, he pulled her up and down to look her over. Lin Qingyu still had a lot of lingering scent on her.

"I... um, you know..."

Despite Lin Qingyu's best efforts to conceal it, Gu Shi still managed to discover some clues.

"Why didn't you tell me? Let me see your hands."

Because she had been soaking in water for a long time, Lin Qingyu's hands were wrinkled and looked rather pitiful.

"It's really nothing, it's all taken care of. If I couldn't handle it, I would have called you, don't worry!"

Gu Shi seemed to understand something, and then didn't pursue the matter any further.

The group ate dinner at a restaurant, which was cooked by Gu Shi. Lin Qingyu knew that he was concerned about her, so she ate the ready-made meal without any worries.

On the way home, Gu Shi remained silent, but Lin Weidong broke the silence from the back seat.

"Sis, how about I stay in the courtyard behind the restaurant? It's alright there if I tidy it up, and I can help you watch the shop!"

Lin Qingyu turned to look at him and said, "No need, it's so cold now, and besides, there's nothing to do. Just stay home and relax!"

Gu Shi suddenly interjected, "Why don't you tell Xiao Li to stay there, so he doesn't have to rent a place?"

"I told you, they don't want to. It seems they've found a partner and don't want to live there!"

"sister……"

"I'm really fine, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

The conversation ended there, and the car returned to silence.

The next day at noon, Lin Qingyu was busy at the restaurant. Because it was the last day of the discount and someone was helping to promote it, business was even better than the previous two days.

Gu Shi came to the shop without saying a word. Lin Qingyu knew that he had been busy at the factory these past few days.

That's why I didn't contact him immediately after the incident. When I saw him come over, I thought he was just there for a meal.

"Please wait a moment, I'll bring you the food in a bit."

She arranged for Gu Shi to sit at the cashier's counter, and then prepared to go and serve other customers.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Gu Shi held onto Lin Qingyu, not letting her leave, but another table of customers arrived outside, and the restaurant was already full of ten tables.

"Wait a minute! I'm quite busy right now, let me go order first."

Lin Qingyu was too busy to care about anything else, she was spinning like a top, and even Xiao Wang brought out the dishes to serve.

After 2 p.m., the crowd gradually thinned out, and Lin Qingyu was able to catch her breath. Only then did she remember that Gu Shi was still waiting for dinner!

She glanced at Gu Shi at the counter; he had left sometime earlier.

Then I saw people clearing away the dishes and helping her remove the table, and I felt a little touched.
