A trace of jealousy flashed across Zhang Rourou's face, and then she sneered.
"How do I know if Zhang Yaoyao has found a partner? But I just saw her go out with two men. Maybe this woman is just a fickle person and wants to hook up with two men at the same time."
When Zhang Ruhai heard this, a serious look flashed across his face. He looked at his daughter and said seriously.
"Rou Rou, Yao Yao is your cousin after all, there are some things you can't say carelessly."
What does it mean to go out with two men? What does it mean to be fickle? He knows Zhang Yaoyao's character very well. Although she is a little romantic and stubborn, she will never be stupid enough to hook up with two men at the same time.
What's more, he saw it clearly just now. Among the two men who left with Zhang Yaoyao, one was Lu Sinian. It seemed that Lu Sinian had a very close attitude towards Zhang Yaoyao.
From this we can see that Zhang Yaoyao spent almost a year pursuing Lu Sinian, and perhaps she moved him, or at least softened his attitude.
"Tsk, Dad, do I need to say anything nonsense about her? The facts are right in front of us. Zhang Yaoyao clearly went out with two men just now, and they looked quite affectionate. It's obvious that these men are often with her. She is not wronged at all!"
Hearing what his daughter said, Zhang Ruhai couldn't help but frown and scolded subconsciously.
"Alright, Rourou, after all, we are Zhang Yaoyao's relatives. We shouldn't slander her behind her back. What exactly happened? I'll ask Yaoyao later. Aren't you hungry? Come on and eat."
In Zhang Ruhai's heart, he still didn't believe that Zhang Yaoyao would be the kind of person that Zhang Rourou described. So, as an elder, Zhang Ruhai didn't allow his daughter to continue talking, to prevent it from being heard by someone with ulterior motives and ruining Yaoyao's reputation.
Yaoyao had already lost her parents, and they were the only relatives left in this world. Zhang Ruhai did not want his own people to seriously hurt each other, as that would cause greater harm to both parties.
Hearing her father's scolding, Zhang Rourou reluctantly closed her mouth, but still muttered softly while holding the lunch box.
"Okay, Dad, I was just saying it casually. Is there any need to blame me like that? You don't know, your beloved niece was cooking across the street just now. She invited a bunch of friends to her restaurant to eat, and she didn't even bother to ask me, her cousin, to eat a single bite. You're still defending her like this. It's completely wasted your heart."
Zhang Ruhai glanced at the New Vision clothing store across the street. People were coming and going inside, and a tall and beautiful woman was greeting customers.
It was obvious that Zhang Yaoyao's shop was doing very well. For clothing business, good business requires more help. Who knows, maybe the people Zhang Yaoyao invited to eat were the workers she hired? She subconsciously excused her.
"Zhang Yaoyao is an orphan. It's not easy for her to open a clothing store in City A. As her uncle, I haven't been able to help her at all. Maybe the people she invites to dinner are all her hired workers. Don't bother with her so much. From now on, your mother and I will deliver your meals to you on time. Just focus on your business and don't always pay attention to Yaoyao's business. It's not easy for her either."
Having said that, Zhang Ruhai moved a stool and sat at the door of the clothing store, looking unwilling to continue this topic.
He naturally knew what kind of person his daughter was, as she was the one he raised. It was just that the clothing store had just opened, and the store was deserted compared to the bustling business at Zhang Yaoyao's place. Naturally, she was jealous that Zhang Yaoyao's business was better than hers.
As a middle-level cadre who has served in the military for many years, Zhang Ruhai has the fairness standards that a soldier should have in his bones and is very objective in judging everything.
As a father and an uncle, he naturally has to treat his daughter and niece equally. He must not let his daughter and niece become enemies because of opening a clothing store. It would be best to make them understand that they must compete fairly and follow market rules.
Whoever earns the money should earn it. Don't always guess at some crooked thoughts, even if that person is your daughter.
Hearing Zhang Ruhai's words defending Zhang Yaoyao, Zhang Rourou's mouth was almost crooked with anger. The delicious food she ate felt like chewing wax, and she yelled at Zhang Ruhai in grievance.
"Dad, are you still my biological father?"
However, Zhang Ruhai did not show any mercy to Zhang Rourou because of her aggrieved expression. Instead, he educated his daughter objectively and fairly.
"Okay, now that you've chosen to go into business, you should understand that many things have their own laws of survival. You can't expect your business to be good just by slandering people behind their backs. You should think of ways to improve your clothing business. After all, you're someone who quit their job to start their own business. You can only move forward bravely. There's no turning back."
Zhang Rourou: “…”
Yes, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now she has resigned from her job in the system. If she does not run her business well, not only will her former colleagues laugh at her, but if she continues like this, she will even lose all her capital.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rourou looked at the bustling scene of people coming and going in the New Vision Clothing Store opposite, and the jealousy in her eyes became even stronger. She must think of a way to snatch the customers from the opposite side.
On the other side, Lu Sinian, Ma Kaixuan, and Zhang Yaoyao drove to the city center. Ma Kaixuan parked the car at a busy street intersection and pointed to a house not far from the city government and said to Zhang Yaoyao.
"Zhang Yaoyao, this is the bustling city center of City A. My house is on the left side of the city hall. See that gray-white building?"
Zhang Yaoyao followed Ma Kaixuan's gaze and saw a gray-white building located directly in the most prosperous area. There was a constant stream of cars and people coming and going in front of the house, which was very lively.
The location of this shop was simply amazing for Zhang Yaoyao, she fell in love with it at first sight, and said leisurely.
"Get out of the car, let's go check it out!"
Although Ma Kaixuan's house has a very advantageous location and Zhang Yaoyao fell in love with it at first sight, she still wanted to go and see it in person to see whether the house could meet her requirements.
She wanted a shop with an excellent location and a very wide space, preferably one that could accommodate all the items in the large supermarket she envisioned.
The woman got out of the car swiftly. Ma Kaixuan quickly locked the car door and led Lu Sinian and Zhang Yaoyao towards his property.
The shops on the first floor are rented out to people for catering and watch businesses, and it seems that the business is pretty good.
When the three of them arrived at the shop on the first floor, people were coming in and out of the restaurant, and even the customers in the watch shop next door were coming in an endless stream. It was obvious that this location was indeed a prime location in City A.
