Mr. He quickly said to Mrs. He, "Wife, don't listen to this slut. I'm really innocent with her. She really did pounce on me!"

Mr. He was furious; he was now in a situation he couldn't clear his name no matter what.

Knowing that she couldn't afford to lose, even though she was furious, He Ma still added, "It doesn't matter if you sleep with her, it won't cost you anything."

Remembering what He Wenlin had said the previous evening, He Ma said to Zhang Hongmei, "I won't divorce my husband. My husband has no money, so you won't get anything. On the contrary, we'll make sure you can't find a job, can't rent a place, and can't find other men!"

With a strong will to survive, Mr. He quickly chimed in, "That's right! We'll make sure you can't stay here any longer!"

Zhang Hongmei didn't say anything, got up and left.

She had originally planned to win over Mr. He, but she never expected that he would catch her talking to Mrs. He today!

She knew that it was completely hopeless now!

...

He Wenlin quickly learned about what happened at the cake factory gate from Mao Fa.

He Wenlin was furious.

He immediately called He Na, He Shan, and Lin Fei, and they went to Zhang Yujie's rented room with great fanfare.

He Wenlin snapped at Zhang Yujie, "This is none of your business, mind your own business!"

Zhang Yujie was intimidated by He Wenlin's gaze and didn't move.

He Wenlin gritted her teeth and said fiercely to Zhang Hongmei, "You're a shameless slut who deserves a beating! I was thinking that if you knew what was good for you, you would leave here or go far away, and I would let you go. I didn't expect you to be so reckless!"

Then He Wenlin and her friends gave Zhang Hongmei a good beating!

Then, He Wenlin grabbed her hair, dragged her outside, and shouted, "Don't miss this, everyone! This woman is lonely, empty, and cold. She seduces men everywhere and destroys other people's families. Please, all you aunties, grandmas, and sisters-in-law, take note!"

The onlookers whispered among themselves, sizing up He Wenlin and the other teenagers, guessing that they were there to avenge their family members.

The women all thought it was a good thing to beat him up; they were all united in their hatred of the mistress.

He Wenlin pushed Zhang Hongmei away, then waved her hand and left with her companions in a dashing manner.

"Thank you all for your help today. Let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

He Wenlin took them to a high-end hotel in the city for a meal, and of course, she also invited He Wenjun along.

He didn't call for help when the fight broke out earlier because he was the only chef at the second store and couldn't leave. Unlike Lin Fei, who was there with He Ba and others, he could leave temporarily without any problem.

As soon as I arrived at the hotel, my grandma called.

"Linlin, where are you? Did you go to fight that vixen?"

"The game is over, we're eating outside."

"Oh dear, how could you kids do such a thing? I should have gone instead. And Xiaofei, you didn't even ask me to come with you when you left..."

Grandma He was extremely upset; she couldn't have participated, which was such a pity.

"Grandma, the matter is resolved. You can rest at home with peace of mind."

"Okay, okay, come back soon."

...

After hanging up the phone, He Wenjun also said, "I'm never involved in any fights."

Last time He Wenlin was bullied, everyone else went to support her, but he couldn't leave and didn't go. He didn't go again this time.

He Wenlin said, "It's not a great thing. By standing guard, you're helping me too."

After that, the dishes were served.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the dishes.

They weren't used to the local food, so He Wenlin ordered Western dishes like steak and pasta to let them try something new.

It wasn't that He Wenlin looked down on them, but rather that children in the countryside at that time had never eaten Western food and didn't know how to use knives and forks.

He Wenlin took the lead in setting an example, and they followed suit.

"There are so many dishes to wash after this meal," Lin Fei said. "But this mushroom soup is so delicious, Linlin, do you know how to make it?"

“I don’t know how to do that, but I’ll look for some books at the bookstore next time. If you’re interested, you can learn from them,” He Wenlin said. “Is this enough? If not, order more.”

"That's enough, that's enough. I've gained weight recently." He Na touched her belly. "My mom says my face has gotten rounder."

He Shan: "No, I look the same as when I first arrived."

“This is just right,” He Wenlin said. “Have you finished eating? If you have, let’s go.”

He Wenlin went to pay the bill, and her friends followed her to the counter. When they paid, they were all shocked.

It actually cost 1200!

"Linlin, 1200! That's more than my monthly salary!" He Na exclaimed, experiencing for the first time what it meant for poverty to limit imagination!

"There are even more expensive options. Keep up the good work, and when you have money in the future, a single breakfast might cost someone else half a month's salary." Besides thanking them, He Wenlin also hoped to use this opportunity to encourage them.

Others' efforts may not be effective, but with He Wenlin as a friend, their efforts will definitely be effective.

On the way back, He Wenlin received a call from Mao Fa, saying that Zhang Hongmei had taken a taxi with her suitcase and left for another district.

He Wenlin was finally relieved; the woman had finally left.

After dealing with the worst case, He Wenlin threw herself wholeheartedly into her work.

The cake shop's second branch will open this Friday.

Her mind is entirely on the second branch now, and it's already Tuesday.

The second branch is slightly larger, and the mall here has a large flow of customers. So, in order to run it better, He Wenlin transferred He Na and Xiao Mi, two experienced employees from the first branch, and added two more employees to the branch.

"Linlin, did you ask me to come here to be the store manager?" He Na asked with a smug look on her face.

"It's good that you want to be a store manager and have a goal, but it doesn't mean you're lacking in any way right now."

He Wenlin knew that He Na was only in favor of He Shan becoming the store manager, and she felt somewhat resentful that she was just an ordinary employee.
