Seeing how seriously He Wenlin was talking, Liu Ma became somewhat uncertain.

When I saw my son Liu Xinze that evening, I asked, "The owner of that cake shop said he doesn't know you. What's going on between you two?"

"Don't you recognize me? You went to see her?"

"Yeah, I was thinking of inviting her over for dinner, but she said she didn't know you."

Liu Xinze was very unhappy. He had pursued her for so long, sent hundreds of messages, made many phone calls, and sent red roses more than ten times, only to be told that he didn't know her!

Although she never responded, he could be considered a friend; he was also the cousin of her childhood friend's boyfriend.

Liu Xinze was extremely unhappy!

"Do you two even know each other? What's going on?" Aunt Liu pressed.

"It's a hopeless situation," Liu Xinze said in a less than favorable tone.

"You two really know each other? Then why did she say she didn't? She must think she's something special just because she has a little money." Liu Ma immediately lost her goodwill towards He Wenlin.

"I think that young Sun is quite good. She's a graduate student in medical school, and her parents are directors at a hospital. Her conditions are much better than that cake seller's, and her social status is much higher."

"Forget it, look at how she looks."

“What does it matter if you’re not good-looking? The important thing is that you have good conditions. Whoever has a high status and likes you will definitely listen to you in the future,” Aunt Liu said. “Like that cake seller, she’s in business and has some money, but she’s definitely shrewd and hard to control. She’s already like this now, what will she be like in the future? If you marry her, you’ll definitely be completely controlled by her and won’t have any power at all.”

Liu Xinze also began to waver.

He did have some feelings for He Wenlin, but he pursued her mainly because she was rich.

He's now finding He Wenlin utterly boring and impossible to flirt with, and he's getting annoyed with her.

He Wenlin had previously said that if Liu Xinze sent her so many text messages a day, she would sue him for harassment. Liu Xinze then started sending flowers and a greeting text message every day, so that He Wenlin would remember him and feel his sincerity, without causing her any trouble.

In mid-October, He Wenlin discovered that Liu Xinze had indeed not sent flowers or sent any greeting text messages since National Day!

That's fine.

New Year's Day arrived in the blink of an eye.

He Wenlin's fourth store in Shanghai is about to open.

After nearly a year of development, the He Wenlin Master He brand has gained a certain reputation in Shanghai.

The three stores now have a combined monthly turnover of around 400,000 yuan, which is quite good.

The eight stores in Shaocheng are doing well. The combined monthly turnover of the eight stores is 700,000 yuan. The worst month it was 700,000 yuan, and the best month it was 740,000 yuan!

In other words, the monthly turnover of Master He's brand is now over one million yuan.

Previously, there were two or three stores in Shaoxing that didn't make much money and were just breaking even.

But now the brand has taken off, the reputation has been built, and every store is making money; it's just a matter of how much.

He Wenlin plans to open ten stores in Shanghai during her university studies.

When He Wenlin was first reborn, she dreamed of expanding her business, making it bigger and stronger, and taking it public, but she no longer has that idea.

That's too tiring. I died before I could fully enjoy life in my past life. Now that I'm rich, I won't be expanding my territory after graduating from university. I'll slow down, enjoy life, and invest in some projects when I have more money. I won't have to work so hard now.

Winter break arrived in the blink of an eye.

He Wenlin took four of her store employees out for barbecue as a team-building activity.

Her shop's employees are all young, so very few are absent; they're all night owls.

Because she was driving, He Wenlin couldn't drink alcohol, so at the dinner table, she was given drinks in turn.

There were many employees, about twenty people, and each of them offered her a cup. She drank all twenty cups and was really full.

"Slow down, slow down," He Wenlin laughed. "If I drink any more, I'm going to explode. Then you'll have to pick me up piece by piece."

He Wenlin got up to go to the restroom, which was downstairs. When she got downstairs, in the corner private room, she overheard people talking about her.

"Weren't you pursuing that boss of Master He, the one named Lin? Why aren't you with her?"

The door to the private room wasn't closed properly, and He Wenlin peeked inside. She didn't know the name of the person speaking, but she had seen him on Luo Wenbin's birthday, and the person he was asking about was Liu Xinze!

The man then laughed and asked, "Did you get it?"

What does "got it" mean? Combining it with his previous sentence, it's easy to understand what it means.

Before Liu Xinze could speak, Luo Wenbin said, "I doubt it. Someone like her, who earned her own money through entrepreneurship, is generally not easy to win over."

"Wenbin, you're wrong. To get to where she is today, I can't say for sure what else, but her pants must be really loose. Otherwise, how could a teenage country girl from the countryside earn so much? Without a sugar daddy giving her funds, who would believe it? I don't believe it."

"Aze, what happened?"

"Did you get the short end of the stick?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinze retorted, "If I can't have her, can I break up with her? I was originally thinking of saving myself more than ten years of hard work, but who knew she would be so clueless about romance."

Another person asked with ill intent, "Are you a virgin?"

"Of course not..."

Before they could finish speaking, a bucket of slop fell from the sky and splashed them all over!

The icy, smelly, and greasy swill made them gag repeatedly.

Seeing He Wenlin standing at the door with a frosty expression, Liu Xinze and Luo Wenbin immediately felt a little guilty.

Instead, he said her pants were loose, and his face was full of anger: "Are you sick?"

"Yes, I'm sick, so killing people isn't illegal!"

After saying that, He Wenlin threw the basin at her: "I thought you were quite talkative, why did you stop talking? Did you grow up eating shit? Your mouth is full of filth! Your brain is full of shit!"

Before anyone could react, He Wenlin slapped Liu Xinze across the face.

Seeing that He Wenlin had started a fight, Luo Wenbin quickly pulled her aside.

He Wenlin shoved him away and sneered at Liu Xinze: "Got it? So clueless about romance? Ha. Don't you even take a good look at yourself? Have you lost your mind? Have you forgotten that you sent me hundreds of messages and I didn't reply to a single one? Have you forgotten that I threatened to report you for harassing me?"

"You two, just you wait! This isn't over! You work at a bank, right? Tell me, I'll only use your bank for my future deposits and loans, but if I want you to suffer some injustice there, do you think I can make it happen?"

Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically!

If He Wenlin were an ordinary person, or had only saved around 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, it wouldn't really have much of an impact on him.

But she's a multi-millionaire.

If you save a few million, it's a different story.

That's enough to make his boss give a hard time for being such a nobody.

"And you, Liu, you just wait."

Luo Wenbin advised, "They speak recklessly. You threw spit on them and hit them. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

"Were you deaf when they were talking about me? This isn't over!"
