"Oh, right, Sister Caixia, I've been so busy these past few days, I almost forgot to ask you," Huo Qianli said. "Why did you come back with such a dark face the other day?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan looked at Feng Caixia.

Feng Caixia was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening and said, "The leaders at Yunxiang headquarters contacted me a couple of days ago and asked me not to resign and to stay at the Yangcheng branch as manager. The leader who came to me is someone I have a good relationship with, so I didn't feel comfortable refusing. But when I went to the branch I was going to take over, the employees there were all very disrespectful to me when they heard that I was from Lanzhou. They talked back to me all day long, which made me so angry that I had a fight with them. Then I called headquarters and told them not to contact me anymore. I'm not going back."

She had spent over a decade in Yunxiang, so she had developed some feelings for the place.

But Yunxiang's business has been declining in recent years. She didn't understand it before, but now she does.

It turns out there were too many bad apples; no wonder things have been going downhill.

Such a restaurant that forgets its roots is destined to not last long.

She's come to terms with it now, and she's not upset anymore.

"Now it's all good. You and Tang Li, one of you has to go to school and the other has a job. I'll just stay here and manage things for half the day. You can worry less. If there are any important matters, we can discuss them together."

Feng Caixia is now counting on having half a day of free time.

If she doesn't manage her half-day leisure well, she won't be able to find a good job at her age.

But she wasn't afraid; she had confidence in her restaurant.

Su Yan laughed and said, "That's more like it. You'll have plenty of free time to keep you busy from now on, so you won't have time to worry about Yunxiang. Besides, with Sister Caixia here managing the shop, Uncle Tang and I are very relieved."

"And me too! Don't underestimate me. Besides doing the accounts, I can also come downstairs to help out when I have free time," Huo Qianli retorted defiantly.

Feng Caixia chuckled, "Your competitive nature is exactly the same as Su Yan's. No wonder you two get along so well."

The three of them chatted until late at night before finally resting.

Su Yan and Feng Caixia still had things to discuss, so they decided to sleep together tonight.

"Ayan, are you really alright? You look so weak from flipping the wok." Feng Caixia asked.

Today, when learning to stir-fry, Su Yan probably wouldn't have been able to finish if it weren't for the help of several instructors to toss the wok.

Before, she could cook all day long without any problem.

Su Yan was naturally aware of her own problems.

Helplessly, he said, "My master said I can only recover slowly. Anyway, I'm not able to do many things right now."

Just as he finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table suddenly started vibrating.

Feng Caixia, who was sleeping outside, got up and muttered to herself, "Who would call you so late?"

Su Yan was already yawning from sleepiness. She took the phone that Feng Caixia handed her and put it to her ear. "Who is it?"

"Who is it? Who do you think I am?" Xie Jin's aggressive voice rang out. "Su Yan, have you gotten too bold? Going out without even reporting it, are you deliberately trying to avoid acupuncture? I'm going to tell my master tomorrow!"

Startled by the shout, Su Yan reflexively sat up in bed.

After a few seconds of mental blankness, she stammered, "Senior...Senior brother, please let me explain!"

"Explain later, where are you now?"

"Half a day of leisure."

"Come out in half an hour."

Xie Jin hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

They didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

Su Yan's face was more bitter than a bitter gourd.

"I'm doomed, Sister Caixia!"

...

Half an hour later.

Su Yan stood hunched over at Banrixian.

I waited for five minutes.

A car stopped in front of her.

The passenger door opened first.

Next up was Wen Liangce, who also had a sour look on his face.

When Wen Liangce saw Su Yan, he almost burst into tears of joy. "Miss Su, I've been looking for you for ages! I was about to get yelled at!"

"I'm so sorry, Assistant Wen, I really forgot!" Su Yan apologized quickly, feeling extremely guilty.

At that moment, the driver's side door opened.

Xie Jin came down and glanced at her expressionlessly.

Su Yan shrank her neck and obediently called out, "Senior Brother."

Xie Jin sneered, "Try to argue after the acupuncture is done."

"..."

Five minutes passed.

Su Yan lay on the bed, her eyes brimming with tears, glaring at Xie Jin and accusing him, "Senior brother, how cruel you are! You actually used your position to settle personal scores!!!"

Her entire back was covered in needles.

The key point is that this time it hurt much more than the previous two times!!

Xie Jin sat to the side and casually took a sip of tea before saying, "I told you, if I don't teach you a lesson, this kind of thing will happen again."

Feng Caixia, Huo Qianli, and Wen Liangce stood side by side at the door, not daring to utter a sound.

Xie Jin was terrifying when he was angry.

They were smiling, but it was more terrifying than if they weren't.

"Didn't I already explain? I really didn't mean it!" Su Yan was on the verge of tears.

She no longer thought her senior brother was a good senior brother!

"If you can forget things, it proves that you don't take your body seriously."

Su Yan pouted, not daring to refute.

She stared at him pitifully.

Xie Jin couldn't handle her like this and sighed helplessly.

"You're talking about yourself!"

“I promise it won’t happen again,” she said eagerly.

"I don't believe your promises." Xie Jin said irritably, "Wen Liangce will live in the Liming Apartment from now on. I've also bought the apartment next door. You need to take some time out every day to get acupuncture before you go about your business. If you dare to forget this, I really won't take care of you anymore."

He wasn't that attentive to his mother.

He's really worried sick about his junior sister!

Su Yan replied, "Okay."
