To support Zhu Jinzhao's business, all of Shi Jing's young masters and ladies drove their luxury cars to her shop to buy fruit.

They buy several large bags at a time.

"Qin Ming, why did you buy so many apples?" Zhu Jinzhao stood behind the cashier, looking at the two large boxes of apples Qin Ming was carrying, and was a little dumbfounded.

Qin Ming said with a grin, "I'll buy them to eat. My dad, my mom, and my grandma all love apples. These two boxes aren't enough for them."

Zhu Jinzhao: "If it's not enough... then why don't you buy some more?"

"He can't buy it anymore!"

Duan Qing squeezed next to Qin Ming with three boxes of apples in his arms, grinning like an idiot as if he had found a treasure: "We've bought all the apples in your shop, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't buy any."

“…You guys really love apples.” Zhu Jinchao picked up the scanner next to him and started to pay for them.

"We've run out of samples today, do you need some more?" Ning Shi asked, raising her voice.

Zhu Jinzhao answered, "Yes!" as he paid the bill.

Jiang Jingwen held up a gleaming fruit knife: "Which fruits do you want to cut?"

Zhu Jinzhao: "Mangoes, oranges, grapes, whatever you like."

Jiang Jingwen: "Okay!"

Although it was only in the trial operation phase, Zhu Jinzhao's fruit shop was bustling with activity. Even though two-thirds of the customers were Shi Jing's friends, at least one-third were genuine customers who came to the shop to buy fruit on their own initiative!

What else could this be but a promising future?

"Xiao Jun, do you really think this store still needs us?"

In a corner by the shop entrance, two newly hired employees of Zhu Jinzhao stood there bewildered, watching their boss and his friend bustling about.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jun scratched her face helplessly: "I guess we still need to... otherwise why would the boss hire us?"

Anfei: "But we can't help at all. The boss's best friend is cutting fruit, the boss's friend is soliciting customers outside, and the boss is handling the cash register inside. The two of us are only good for breathing!"

Xiao Jun: "Then, how about we go do some cleaning?"

Anfei sighed helplessly and pointed at Xie Lang, who was mopping the floor, saying, "Too late. We can't even mop the floor properly."

Xiao Jun panicked instantly: "Why does this salary feel both easy and burdensome to me...?"

After a busy morning, Zhu Jinchao's feet were sore from standing.

Just then, the lunch that Shi Jing had ordered for her arrived at the store, so she took the opportunity to leave the cashier and let Xiao Jun take over.

"It smells so good! What did Shi Jing buy for lunch?" Jiang Jingwen swallowed and walked over eagerly.

Zhu Jinzhao opened the lids of the lunch boxes one by one, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "He bought me sushi and ramen, both of which are my favorites."

Ning Shi followed the aroma and came closer: "Which of the things Shi Jing bought for you don't you like to eat?"

"These sushi pieces are so beautiful, I'll have a couple too." She said, reaching out her hand.

Zhu Jinzhao took out two pairs of chopsticks from the takeout bag, one pair for her and one pair for Jiang Jingwen: "Help yourself to eat whatever you want."

Then he picked up the lid of the lunchbox that was placed to the side, took out some sushi from the box, and served it to Xiaojun and Anfei.

"You should try some too."

"Wow..." The two little girls were flattered.

"Thank you, boss! You're such a kind person!"

Zhu Jinzhao smiled gently: "I bought two chairs for you, and they will be delivered this afternoon. If you get tired at work, you can sit and rest at the cashier for a while."

"Mmm!" Xiao Jun nodded while eating sushi, so touched she was almost crying. "Boss, you're so kind, I love you to death!"

Anfei: "I love you too!"

"You two shouldn't rush into love," Ning Shi teased them from the side. "Your boss is the apple of Young Master Shi's eye. If you want to love her, you'll have to get Young Master Shi's permission first."

"What Young Master Shi?" Taking advantage of Zhu Jinchao's inattention, Jiang Jingwen arrogantly stole some noodles from her bowl. "Our Chaochao is the boss now, so Shi Jing is the rightful boss's wife!"

Ning Shi: "...Isn't he a man? How can he be the boss's wife?"

Jiang Jingwen: "Why not? As long as he can be tied to Chaochao, he'd be happy for three days and three nights even if you asked him to be a cashier."

Hahahaha!

The people in the shop were amused by this remark.

As Xiaojun finished the last piece of sushi and was about to say something to liven things up, she caught a glimpse of a girl in a white dress striding into the store.

She quickly put down her chopsticks and greeted them warmly, "Welcome to 'Just Buy Some Fruit'! All the fruits in the store are freshly delivered daily, feel free to choose."

"..." The girl remained expressionless, ignoring her completely and not even sparing her a glance.

She paused, about to repeat the welcoming words, when she saw the girl walk straight up behind Zhu Jinzhao and then stammer, "Sister."

Zhu Jinzhao turned around upon hearing the voice, and was completely stunned when she saw that the person who called her was Zhu Mingyue.

"...Mingyue?! What are you doing here?"

Zhu Mingyue didn't answer her, but just grinned foolishly: "Sister, looking for sister."

"Who is she?" Jiang Jingwen put down her chopsticks and walked to Zhu Jinzhao's side with a wary look, scrutinizing Zhu Mingyue with a direct and scrutinizing gaze.

"He doesn't seem to be thinking very well..."

"Tsk!" Ning Shi nudged her arm, signaling with her eyes to be careful with her words. "She's just sick, not mentally unstable!"

"Mental illness?" This description sounded vaguely familiar to Jiang Jingwen. She frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Is it that little girl who picked up an apple from the ground and ate it last night?"

“It’s her,” Zhu Jinzhao replied. “She was taken back by her older brother last night, who said she had to catch a plane to leave Xuancheng early this morning.”

"Huh?" Jiang Jingwen was shocked. "She was supposed to leave early this morning, so why is she still here at noon?"

Zhu Jinzhao shook her head: "I don't know either."

Confused and not seeing Zhu Xingye follow, she patted Zhu Mingyue's arm and asked slowly, word by word, "Mingyue, what brings you here? Where's your older brother?"

"Sister." Zhu Mingyue didn't answer, but just held Zhu Jinzhao's hand and called her obediently, "Sister, I want to find my sister."

"You can't call her 'sister'," Jiang Jingwen interjected.

Zhu Mingyue paused slightly, then slowly turned to look at Jiang Jingwen, asking awkwardly and blankly, "Why?"

This was the first time Zhu Jinzhao had heard her use a term other than "sister" since she had known her, and she was quite surprised.

"Mingyue, so you can say other things too?"

Zhu Mingyue ignored her, still wondering about the question: "Why? Why can't I call you 'sister'?"
