Ye Shiming didn't mention the ancestor at all. He trusted Xiaoxi 100% that she would never break her promise. Even if they couldn't find the ancestor for the time being, wasn't that just a matter of time?

He wanted to befriend Xiaoxi and build a more stable relationship, which meant giving Xiaoxi the shares.

“Xiaoxi must think that Uncle’s gift is not enough.” Ye Shiming took out a brand new Fengzeyuan VIP black card.

"Xiaoxi can dine at Fengzeyuan anytime. She can use this card herself, lend it to a friend, or bring a friend to dine there. It's free anytime."

But you can only get this card if you accept your second uncle's first gift.

Xiaoxi was very tempted; the allure of Fengzeyuan's delicious food even surpassed the value of the shares.

"Alright! I'll accept Uncle's gift. It would be pretentious to refuse any longer. As for the Ancestor, I will do my best to win him over."

Xiaoxi was too embarrassed to make any more promises. It's not just about words; actions speak louder than words, especially now that she had received Ye Shiming's gift.

...

Xiaoxi went to the restroom and overheard two girls talking.

"Did you know? Shen Mubai is going to promote Fengzeyuan's imperial pastries at Joy City tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.

"Wow, this is the first time my brother has appeared in front of the public for an event. He's only ever done it in live streams before."

"Then I have to go to Joy City early tomorrow. Shen Mubai is super popular right now. I want to see what he looks like in real life. Is he as handsome as he appears in the live stream?"

Xiaoxi overheard the two girls' conversation. She wasn't interested in live streaming or any big internet celebrities. If she wanted to see handsome guys, she had eight handsome men in her family. Who could be more handsome than her brothers?

But Xiaoxi is interested in food.

She rushed out and asked questions when she didn't understand.

"Two beautiful ladies, aren't we at Fengzeyuan right now? We can just buy the imperial pastries directly. Is there really any need for such a big promotion?"

One of the young ladies looked at Xiaoxi and said, "Little sister, you don't understand. Fengzeyuan only sells dishes; they never sell snacks."

Another young lady laughed and said, "So this time Fengzeyuan has come up with a plan to bring imperial pastries to the market. Haven't you ever tried these pastries? There's a two-color cake that's so delicious you won't even recognize your own mother."

But most importantly, Shen Mubai is coming tomorrow to promote the brand and sell products on-site.

When Shen Mubai was mentioned, Xiaoxi looked blank.

The two beautiful ladies, seeing that Xiaoxi didn't even recognize Shen Mubai, didn't want to say anything more to her.

Now Xiaoxi is only interested in those desserts, especially the two-color cake they mentioned.

Since she'll be staying in Beijing for another day tomorrow, and she plans to buy gifts for her brother and classmates in Shanghai, she might as well go to Joy City while she's at it.

The next day, Xiaoxi dawdled out the door and didn't arrive at Joy City until after 10 a.m.

The square was already packed with people; it was impossible to squeeze in.

Xiao Xi was a little annoyed. It seemed she wouldn't be able to buy the imperial pastries. Wasn't Ye Shiming a friend of the boss of Fengzeyuan? She could just ask him to help her buy the pastries later.

Xiaoxi was just about to go shopping when suddenly she heard a cawing sound from the sky. It turned out to be Er Lengzi calling to her.

"Lord Xiaoxi, my brothers noticed that the big internet celebrity on stage today is acting strangely."
