"Yeah...eh? You're not here to eat? Then what are you doing here?"

Guan Ling's nodding action suddenly paused after hearing Hua Shi's words, and the look in her eyes became strange.

When the flowers bloom, the lid of the fish basket on the table is opened, revealing the fish inside with their tails wagging vigorously.

Guan Ling's eyes were always on her. When her gaze fell on the fish basket on the table, she immediately realized what these two people were here for.

"Are you two fishermen? Are you here to sell fish?" Guan Ling asked with a curled lip.

Hua Shi nodded, "These are fish raised in my own fish pond..."

Guan Ling didn't wait for her to finish her words and waved her hand, saying, "No need. You can see that this fish restaurant is not making any money. It will probably go bankrupt soon. Why should we continue to sell fish? You should find another buyer."

The waiter beside him listened and nodded, thinking to himself.

Even if we didn't go bankrupt, the boss wouldn't buy these fish anymore. My tavern has a fixed place for buying fish. These fishermen who come from nowhere come here to sell their fish to our tavern, but they don't think about the fact that such a big tavern can't be short of one or two fish...

The waiter was very active. After knowing that the two men were not here to eat, he immediately fell silent and let the second boss make the decision.

Seeing her attitude of rejecting without saying anything, Hua Shi was not discouraged. Instead, he said, "Second Miss, why don't you take a look at the fish in this basket before making a final decision?"

Guan Ling raised his eyes and glanced at her, as if he saw the confidence on her face. He lowered his eyelids, glanced at the fish basket, and his gaze suddenly paused.

"This fish...?" Guan Ling's eyes widened slightly. "This fish is so big? Did you raise it yourself?"

Guan Ling was originally not interested, but after seeing the size of the fish, a flash of light flashed in her eyes that did not escape Hua Shi's eyes.

Hua Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there was still hope for this matter and that there was something to be said.

"Yes, we raise them at home, but now is not the time for the fish to mature. We won't have a large quantity until around the beginning of July."

"What a pity," Guan Ling shook his head and sighed softly, "Alas... It's a pity that this is a disappointing tavern. Otherwise, if they cooked and sold such good fish, the business wouldn't be so slow."

Hua Shi calmed himself down and asked, "Excuse me, why is the business of this tavern so bad?"

"What else could it be? The dishes your chef makes are so bad, and my eldest brother sets the prices so high. Ordinary people can't afford to eat here. Those with a little money, after trying them once and tasting the flavor, naturally won't come back for a second time."

Guan Ling pouted, feeling distressed when she thought about the huge amount of money her eldest brother had wasted on opening this shabby fish restaurant...

Damn it! She was determined to make this fish restaurant go bankrupt as soon as possible. Since there was still no income this month, she would go to her grandmother and ask her to tell her eldest brother to close the fish restaurant!

Our money didn't come from the wind, so how can we waste it like this every year...

Hua Shi thought for a moment and was about to speak when a clear man's voice suddenly came from the direction of the second floor behind him.

"Guan Ling! What are you doing again? This is the nth time my fish restaurant's business is not doing well, and half of the blame lies with you!"

The voice was mixed with a bit of anger and came towards Guan Ling in a reproachful tone.

Guan Ling looked over, her face calm and composed. Instead, she seemed even more energized after seeing the newcomer. "What did I do?! I'm helping you! You've closed your fish restaurant to save you some peace and quiet. You haven't even managed your own cloth shop, and you've opened this shabby fish restaurant. Not only that, you've also dragged down the cloth shop, leaving it without anyone to take care of it. How much money have you lost?"

Guan Wei ran down angrily, but before he could finish his scolding, his little sister started to curse at him.

He looked at Hua Shi and the other man standing nearby. A hint of disappointment flashed across his handsome face. He lowered his voice and said in a serious tone, "Do you know what you're talking about? This is outside, not the mansion, and yet you're still so tactless, telling everything without a care in the world. Aren't you afraid that someone might overhear?"

"Hmph, who cares? I think you're guilty. Go out and ask around in this town. Who doesn't know that the eldest son of the Guan family spent half his fortune opening this fish restaurant? He didn't make any money and is losing money every day and every month!"

Guan Ling's momentum was not weak at all, especially when he heard Guan Wei's face-saving words, it became even more difficult for him to control his temper, and he said sarcastically:

"Everyone calls you the philanthropic prince. You can't sell the vegetables at the fish restaurant, so you give them away to the beggars. If you're not a philanthropist, what else can you be?"

These sarcastic words made Guan Wei, who was already very proud, feel quite angry and embarrassed. His face turned red with anger and he glared at Guan Ling.

Guan Ling glared back without giving in.

The two of them started arguing with each other in front of Hua Shi and Xie Mingchi.

The waiter beside them looked left and right, and tried to interrupt and stop the quarrel between the brother and sister several times, but was scolded back with eyes. He could only stand by and watch anxiously.

Hua Shi turned her head and glanced at Xie Mingchi. Xie Mingchi was also looking at her, but his face was very calm, and he was not at all disturbed by the scene in front of him.

"Two masters," Hua Shi coughed lightly, interrupting the brother and sister from continuing their argument.

Guan Wei and Guan Ling paused, turned their heads and looked in the direction of Hua Shi.

The two men's faces were still stained with anger from their recent argument, and they looked at her angrily.
