"If you want to continue teaching, I can help you find a way. It's not a problem which school you want to get into, so don't be shy with me." Yan Xin thought that having a stable job wasn't bad.
However, without a background or powerful connections, relying solely on a degree from Peking University, it's easy to be squeezed out. Yan Xin was afraid she would be too embarrassed to ask for help, so she said that.
"No need to bother, I don't want to go to work," Lin Xiazhu said matter-of-factly.
"Seriously? You're so young and you're already thinking about retirement? Or do you want to travel the world and squander all your money before you decide?" Yan Xin glanced at her distractedly while driving.
"I'll think about tourism in a couple of years. I just want to take back the coffee shop and open my own. I want to be a leisurely coffee shop owner." No one will manage me, and I can manage my employees. When you're the boss, you're the boss.
"Is that all you aspire to?" Yan Xin was dumbfounded, never expecting that she would really become a couch potato.
"What kind of expression is that? Opening a coffee shop isn't easy. Do you think everyone has the money to open one? I'll manage it well." Enough money is enough; don't be too greedy.
Coffee shops don't make a fortune, but they can certainly make a living. In Beijing, where the cost of living is high, maintaining a mid-range standard of living is already quite good.
Back in her hometown, Chacha's pig farm is very profitable. Now, more and more people are raising pigs, and the feed in her shop is selling very well, which is also a considerable income. In just three years, Chacha's savings are estimated to be several million yuan.
In a few years, it's estimated to be worth tens of millions. The chicken farm and fish pond are also profitable now, and Lin Xiazhu has invested in them all. She gets income every quarter, plus rent, and Lin Xiazhu suddenly feels that she can do nothing.
She leisurely lives her life running her own coffee shop; she has every right to be a couch potato.
"Why don't we go together?" Lin Xiazhu sincerely invited.
"Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not as lucky as you. I have two younger sisters who are eyeing me covetously. If I don't work hard, they'll suppress me to the point where I won't even have porridge to drink. I have to become strong to seize more wealth." Yan Xin was full of fighting spirit.
"Then good luck, and I wish you success in inheriting the entire family fortune soon," Lin Xiazhu said with a smile.
"It's impossible for them to have all of it. My parents love them so much, they'll definitely share some with them. But I'm definitely going to get the lion's share." In her past life, it was all hers, but in this life, she has to compete with two other people for it. Just thinking about it makes her heartbroken.
Xiao An couldn't pick her up today, so he called her in advance, which is why Yan Xin came over. The two of them didn't eat out, but went to Lin Xiazhu's house to cook.
Since Lin Xiazhu tidied up her own house and moved in, she no longer likes to go to Yan Xin's place, because there is no place as comfortable as her own.
The two of them worked together to cook a table full of dishes, then ate them all. They relaxed on the sofa and watched TV for a while before cleaning up the table and washing the dishes in the kitchen. That's how they digested their food.
"If I eat a few more meals with you, I'm sure I'll grow into a 200-pound fatso. You make so much food and I have to eat it all. You're really something else." After coming out of the kitchen, Yan Xin collapsed onto the sofa again.
"Then why are you still lying down? Get up and exercise more. Here, take the mop and mop the floor." Lin Xiazhu was mopping the floor with a huff and puff.
Yan Xin waved her hand and turned her head away. "Never mind, I'd rather be a little chubby than do too much housework."
During her ten years at the Lin family, she tried her best to be lazy. After returning to the Yan family, she didn't have to do anything. Everything was done by the servants. Now, Yan Xin is even lazier to the core. Helping with cooking and washing dishes is already the maximum she can manage.
It was only with Lin Xiazhu that she felt like doing nothing; anywhere else, she wouldn't want to do anything.
At nine o'clock, Lin Xiazhu started urging people to hurry up and go home. "If you keep dawdling, your parents will come over to have a lecture on life again tomorrow."
“My parents only contacted you once, why are you still holding a grudge?” Yan Xin was speechless. “I often stay outside now, so they don’t keep such a close eye on me, but every time I stay outside, they do a surprise inspection.”
After 10 o'clock, I video chatted with her every hour until 1 o'clock, just in case she was led astray by others outside.
"So hurry up and leave, don't cause me any trouble." Lin Xiazhu calmly continued to shoo people away.
"I'm not leaving, I'm staying here tonight." Yan Xin remained on the sofa, refusing to get up.
Lin Xiazhu stopped talking. She picked up the remote and changed the channel, choosing a period drama to watch with great interest.
"It's better to watch a movie." Yan Xin likes to watch American and European dramas, but on-demand viewing costs money, and Lin Xiazhu won't let her watch them, even if she says she will pay for them.
"Ding-dong..." The doorbell rang.
Yan Xin glanced at the time; it was already ten o'clock. Who would come looking for Xiao Zhu so late? Yan Xin's eyes narrowed, her gossip-fueled desire igniting within her. She jumped up and rushed to open the door.
The newcomer was tall and slender, with fair skin, a handsome face, a cold demeanor, and deep-set eyes. When the door opened, he initially wore a gentle and obedient smile, but upon recognizing who it was, his brows furrowed.
"How come it's you? What are you doing here?" Xiao An recognized Yan Xin. Yan Xin had gone to the Bai family to pay respects at Old Master Bai's funeral.
Old Master Bai was a man of great status and influence. After his passing, people from all the prominent families in the capital would come to pay their respects. Bai Ru'an had a good memory and could remember almost everyone he had met, but he was particularly impressed by Yan Xin.
Because Yan Xin deliberately took the opportunity to talk to Lin Xiazhu, the two of them stood in the corner and whispered to each other for a while.
"Little...uh, Young Master Bai, what brings you here? It's getting late!" Yan Xin almost let slip that she called him Xiao An, but luckily she reacted quickly and didn't give herself away, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain.
Xiao An frowned even more. "I'm here to find Xiao Zhu. Move aside and don't block the doorway."
Yan Xin: "..." She saw the disgust and loathing in his eyes. This brat.
Lin Xiazhu had already guessed that the person coming was Xiao An. Although he hadn't called beforehand to say that he would come, she had a feeling that he would come, so she kept urging Yan Xin to leave quickly, but she just wouldn't leave.
"Xiao An, you're here. Since you're already here, come in and sit for a while. What are you doing standing at the door?" She greeted them casually, as if unaware of their previous conversation.
Yan Xin was still lost in thought, wondering what was going on between the two of them. They seemed to be dating, otherwise why would a grown man come over in the middle of the night?
There's definitely something fishy going on.
"Have you had dinner yet? Are you hungry? There are some leftovers in the fridge. If you want some, I can heat them up." Lin Xiazhu smiled naturally.
It was clearly something I had deliberately set aside earlier. Yan Xin had thought this thrifty guy was saving it for breakfast the next morning, but it turns out it was a midnight snack for someone else.
She just smiled and didn't say anything, watching her perform.
“Okay, I’m actually hungry.” Xiao An looked at her with gentle eyes.
Tsk, only Lin Xiazhu would dare to tell the eldest son of the Bai family to eat leftovers. Anyone else would have fawned over him and tried to serve him the most precious things.
Therefore, regardless of Xiao An's identity, Lin Xiazhu will treat her the same way as always, and this will not change.
