Qiu Dafu has a resolute face with distinct features. Although he is older, his handsome face is still undeniable.
Some people become more attractive with age, and Zhao Juan was willing to marry him.
Little did she know, Qiu Dafu was unwilling to marry her.
Qiu Dafu rubbed his throbbing temples. "According to seniority, you should call me uncle. Let's not talk about our past anymore."
After Qiu Dafu finished speaking, he turned to leave, and Wang hurriedly chased after him.
"Dafu, you can't jump to conclusions about matters between men and women based on just one glance. Since Miss Zhao Juan is interested in marrying you, you should get to know each other better. Maybe you'll hit it off."
In Wang's eyes, this was such a wonderful marriage, so why wouldn't he agree?
Qiu Dafu finally left, leaving Zhao Juan looking aggrieved as she went back to her room alone.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Wang followed closely behind Qiu Dafu, catching up with him; she still had to cook for the workers.
"Qiu Dafu, Zhao Juan is a pretty girl, and she's still a virgin. Why do you still look down on her?"
Qiu Dafu: "Sister-in-law, please don't introduce me to any more marriage proposals in the future."
Wang was puzzled; this Qiu Dafu was truly strange.
Given this marriage proposal, no normal man would refuse it.
"Why? Dafu, your sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. Having a woman in the house makes all the difference."
Qiu Dafu paused for a moment, then emphasized, "Sister-in-law, I said I don't need it."
Wang shook her head helplessly. "Fine, let Qiu Dafu figure it out himself."
When Qiu Yan arrived in Baiyang, the first thing she did was to look for Master Zhang.
When she arrived at the No. 1 Cloth Shop, the No. 1 manager was carefully looking at the account books.
Upon seeing Qiu Yan arrive, he stopped what he was doing and personally greeted her.
"Young lady, our shop recently produced a new batch of silk. Would you be interested?"
Qiu Yan greeted him with a smile, "I wonder if Master Zhang is at the shop?"
"Excuse me, young lady, who are you...?"
Qiu Yan nodded, "Qiu Yan."
"Oh, so you're from Xingyuelou. It seems our boss went to Shuangxilou. By the way, I heard from our boss that our No. 1 shop wants to do food delivery business with you."
"Yes, that's exactly what I've come for today."
Qiu Yan briefly explained her purpose. The shopkeeper knew that the two parties had already made a deal, so he didn't ask any more questions and sent someone to invite Master Zhang.
Soon, Master Zhang arrived.
After exchanging greetings, he said:
“Miss Qiu, now that we have reached an agreement, I will naturally need you to run this shop.”
Invited by Manager Gao, he went to Shuangxi Restaurant today. Shuangxi Restaurant also wanted to do lunchbox business with him, but their prices were too high, so Master Zhang rejected it on the spot.
His original intention was to make things more convenient for himself. Firstly, it would save him the trouble of finding a cook and ingredients, and secondly, it would be more convenient.
He can expand the usable space in the backyard, and also allow the cook to start spinning cloth.
Qiu Yan smiled and nodded, handing a menu to Manager Gao. The workers could choose for themselves whether they wanted the cheap or expensive option.
Xingyuelou mainly serves high-end dishes, while these meal boxes mainly serve ordinary meals.
Therefore, Qiu Yan separated it from Xingyuelou and started operating it separately.
Actually, at first, this business didn't make much money for Qiu Yan.
However, if this business grows, they can deliver hundreds or even thousands of meals a day, which is quite a lot.
Of course, she can also deliver her wontons.
With the deal settled, Qiu Yan also reached an agreement with Master Zhang, informing him that someone would come to their door to provide service before the meal the next day.
After Qiu Yan finalized the business deal, she also inquired about the Zhang family's house.
The house is almost finished, and speaking of which, my second uncle will be coming soon.
Master Zhang was somewhat surprised to hear that Qiu Yan wanted to rent a house. The house was empty anyway, so he had no objection.
Soon, Qiu Yan and Master Zhang arrived at the courtyard.
The courtyard is right next to Old Mu's house. The gate turns into a bend in the road, into a small alley.
The courtyard was not large, with a row of houses running horizontally inside, and two side rooms on the east and west sides.
Now that Master Zhang has a better house, this place is vacant.
After Qiu Yan reviewed it, she thought it was feasible, and then they discussed the lease term and rent.
She thought she would rent it for a year first, and the rent would be exactly the tuition fee for a year.
After finishing her business, Qiu Yan realized that the academy had already closed for the day, so she didn't linger and prepared to leave.
Just as she stepped out of the courtyard, a football came hurtling towards her, heading straight for her body.
At this moment, Master Zhang was right next to Qiu Yan, and the football directly threatened him.
Ahead, the footsteps of several boys playing Cuju (ancient Chinese football) came to an abrupt halt.
Only one boy stood there, smugly watching the football, waiting for Qiu Yan to make a fool of herself.
The young man was Gao Chong, the son of Manager Gao, and playing Cuju (ancient Chinese football) was his greatest hobby.
That's right, he did it on purpose, because Qiu Yan was affecting his father's business.
Master Zhang was startled. Qiu Yan grabbed his collar to help him regain his balance, almost causing him to strain his large waist.
Qiu Yan remained unfazed, took a step back, and kicked the football away.
As luck would have it, the football struck Gao Chong in the chest with a thud.
Instantly, it attracted a crowd of students who came to watch.
Master Zhang patted his wildly beating heart. "You children are truly unreasonable!"
As soon as Du Changjun arrived, his eyes were drawn to the rapidly moving football.
"Sister!" Qiu Xu rushed to his sister like a firecracker, glaring angrily at Gao Chong in front of him.
Du Changjun chuckled. So it was his sister. No wonder she was so arrogant. He winked at Qiu Dazhi, who was in the distance.
Qiu Dazhi walked to Du Changjun's side, wanting to see how Qiu Yan and the other girl had offended the young man in front of him.
Gao Chong staggered from the impact, glaring angrily at Qiu Yan, "What a girl, so arrogant!"
After he finished speaking, he kicked the ball towards Qiu Yan again.
Qiu Xu flipped to the side, his feet slightly moving, and the football, as if it had eyes, slammed into Gao Chong's forehead with a thud.
Qiu Yan nodded silently; her younger brother had made a lot of progress.
This scene terrified Master Zhang.
Manager Gao always had a kind and gentle demeanor towards him, but he never expected his son to be so unreasonable.
Du Changjun and Qiu Dazhi looked on with suspicion.
Gao Chong's face turned red, and his forehead became red and swollen.
He rubbed his aching forehead, glanced at the students, and wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
He kicked again, the ball striking directly at Qiu Yan and her brother.
He must regain the face he lost today.
Just as Qiu Yan was about to retaliate, two figures suddenly descended from the sky. Two men in tight-fitting clothes landed in front of her, one of whom blocked the ball for her.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar dark figure slowly approached.
"Yan Yan, A Xu."
Qiu Yan was stunned. This man always surprised her.
Qiu Xu's mouth opened slightly. "Senior brother, when did you arrive?"
"Just arrived."
Gu Qian's arrival immediately attracted the attention of those around him, especially Qiu Dazhi.
Gao Chong originally wanted to seek justice for his father, but he didn't expect to make a fool of himself today. He hung his head and was about to run away when Qiu Xu stopped him.
"Apologize!"
