"Yes, yes, yes, Uncle will never do it again." Uncle Jiang nodded repeatedly, assuring him.

"Okay, I'll take care of your work. Now, let's go have lunch."

After Jiang Wanwan finished speaking, she walked into a restaurant.

Uncle Jiang slowly raised his eyes and saw the four large characters "Laixiang Restaurant" hanging high above the door, shining brightly in the sunlight.

He jogged after her, excitedly asking, "Wan girl, come on, what are you doing at Lai Xiang Restaurant?"

Could it be that they're going to find him a job as an accountant?

Uncle Jiang rubbed his hands together, grinning from ear to ear.

“Of course we’re here to eat,” Jiang Wanwan said simply.

Uncle Jiang looked somewhat disappointed when he heard that the job wasn't for him.

It was lunchtime, and the Lai Xiang Restaurant was packed with people. Waiters in matching blue short-sleeved uniforms were busy moving back and forth in the lobby.

A sharp-eyed waiter spotted Jiang Wanwan and her companion as they entered the restaurant. He hurried over and asked, "How many are in your party, sir?"

“The two of you,” Jiang Wanwan said.

"What a coincidence! We just happen to have a table available for two. If you had three or four people or more, you would have had to wait quite a while," the waiter said enthusiastically, then bent down and gestured for them to come in. "Please come in, sir."

Jiang Wanwan followed the waiter. By this time, Uncle Jiang had recovered from his disappointment at not being able to find him a job. He gently tugged at her arm and whispered, "Wanwan, are we here to eat?"

"Well, after a fierce battle with Liu Si and Wang Wu, I naturally need to eat something good to replenish myself."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiang abruptly released Jiang Wanwan's arm and reflexively covered his already empty money bag.

Turning to the thought that he had just decided to cling to his niece's powerful connections and spend a few coins to treat her to a good meal, he felt it was only right.

Thinking of this, he loosened his grip on the money bag.

He glanced furtively at the food on the other people's tables, and seeing the exquisite and delicious dishes, he realized that his remaining ten or so coins probably wouldn't be enough to pay for a meal.

“Little girl, your second uncle only has a dozen or so coins left, I’m afraid I can’t afford to treat you to the food here. How about this, your second uncle will treat you to a big bowl of wontons, how about that?” Uncle Jiang said somewhat awkwardly.

He's really useless; he can't even afford to treat someone to a meal.

As they were talking, the waiter led the two to an empty table. "Sir, please have a seat. This is our menu; would you like to see what you'd like to order?"

Jiang Wanwan took the menu, quickly scanned it, and then ordered two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a soup.

"Please wait a moment, sir. Your food will be served shortly." After saying this, the waiter jogged off to the kitchen.

Jiang Wanwan looked up at her second uncle, who was at a loss and looked embarrassed, and chuckled, "Second Uncle, don't just stand there, sit down quickly. Don't worry, this meal is on me, you don't need to pay."

Uncle Jiang was overjoyed to hear that he wouldn't have to pay, but he also felt a little sorry for himself.

A meal at Shanglai Xianglou would probably cover the family's expenses for a long time.

However, he dared not say it.

His niece was shrewd and calculating, so he decided not to say anything that might upset her and offend her.

Uncle Jiang sat down opposite Jiang Wanwan, and soon the waiter brought the dishes to the two of them.
