Tao Zhizhi weakly raised her head, moved slowly, and listlessly walked to the cubicle.
His eyes lit up when he saw the bed, and he sprawled out on it, letting out a comfortable sigh.
Lost in thought, she entered the system space to replenish ingredients, otherwise there would be nothing to cook in the afternoon.
Su Bai, panting heavily in the lobby, fell asleep as soon as he slumped onto the cashier's counter.
Fu Jue frowned, remembering that there was supposed to be a meeting between lunch and dinner. He returned to the kitchen and dialed Secretary Gu's number:
"Secretary Gu, come over this afternoon to help out. The meeting will be postponed to this evening."
Sure enough, people started coming to the shop to eat at just four o'clock. Tao Zhizhi took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim, "The power of live streaming is truly amazing!"
Tao Zhizhi resolutely shut down the food delivery service, leaving only the crowd staring at the store, wailing and holding up their phones as they rushed to buy.
At this moment, Secretary Gu was preparing to go to the hot food shop to meet him after his overtime work.
Mingli rushed over and stopped him:
"Secretary Gu, Chairman Fu wants to see you in his office."
Secretary Gu was completely baffled and went upstairs with a puzzled look on her face.
Chairman Fu was sitting upright on the guest sofa, drinking the pre-Qingming Longjing tea he had gotten from someone else.
"Secretary Gu, you know where Fu Jue is lately, right?"
Secretary Gu dared not look Chairman Fu in the eye and calmly replied, "Yes."
Fu Linyue took a sip of tea and asked with a hint of gossip:
What is he doing now?
Secretary Gu was originally recruited by Fu Linyue to assist Fu Jue in his work, so naturally he wouldn't deceive him.
"Reporting to Chairman Fu, Mr. Fu is working."
Fu Linyue's face seemed to crack, and his deep voice was filled with shock:
“He didn’t want to work for me, but he went to work for that young girl.”
What's that place called?
"At the Warm Food Shop, Mr. Fu is working as a kitchen helper. It seems that Mr. Fu's current persona is that of a young man striving to start a business and earn extra money."
Upon hearing this, Fu Linyue laughed without any attempt to hide his laughter: "That's great, don't tell him about today's events."
"I should go and see him when I have the chance; it's time for him to be filial to his parents!"
——
When Secretary Gu arrived at the store, the fans of the two livestreamers had already taken numbers and lined up.
He strode into the shop and felt a hand reaching out to his right:
"Hey bro, go over there and get a number to queue up."
He gestured for Secretary Gu to look to the left, where Su Bai was quickly writing down numbers and taking orders from customers without stopping.
Secretary Gu waved his hand and explained, "I'm here to help out at the store."
After he finished speaking, no one stopped him anymore, and he started running errands for Su Bai on his own initiative.
Su Bai was initially puzzled, but asked him a few questions during the intermission.
"I was asked by Brother Fu to come and help out."
"oh."
——
The two, who were so busy in the kitchen that they didn't have time to talk, finally finished their dinner preparations before nine o'clock.
Before leaving the shop, the two stood at the door, and Fu Jue took the bath bag that he had secretly contacted Secretary Gu to buy.
"These contain relaxing bath packs and aromatherapy products. They work quite well. The store was suddenly packed today, so I'll rest early tonight."
In fact, she could buy items in the system shop that could instantly dispel fatigue.
She still accepted his kindness. The two of them were very tired today, and Fu Jue had planned to take her for a walk along the river this evening.
Looking at her tired expression now, I feel a little sorry for her. I think it would be better to let her go home and rest earlier.
A cool summer night breeze blew by, creating a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. The two chatted for a while, ending their farewell with "See you tomorrow."
——
On a night like this—
The little girl's heart-wrenching cries were so intense that her tiny hands and feet couldn't even cover her mother.
"Don't hit my mom—"
"Dad, I was wrong, please don't hit me anymore—"
The little girl's voice grew hoarse from crying, but the drunken man still didn't stop, relentlessly punching and kicking his wife on the ground.
After the man had finished beating her, he lay drunkenly on the bed, angrily berating the mother and daughter on the floor:
"I'm going to sleep. If you make a sound, you won't be leaving this room tomorrow!"
Actually, a year ago they were a happy family that everyone envied. The wife was gentle and lovely, the daughter was lively and cute, and the man was also understanding.
Until the man was deceived and lost his job, he did try to find another job, but each time he was thwarted, he began to vent his anger at home.
Yang Ping couldn't take it anymore and wanted to divorce him while taking her daughter with her, but he always canceled the divorce. After two failed attempts to divorce her, she now only has three thousand yuan that her daughter secretly kept on her.
She was going to the hospital to get a medical examination, even though she had broken one leg. While the man was asleep, she contacted a kind neighbor who had moved away, and with the medical report in hand, she successfully left H city.
Yang Ping didn't know where she should go. She just had someone buy her a ticket. All she knew was that it was a place far away from H City.
——
Wearing soft loungewear, Tao Zhizhi's hair was slightly damp at the ends, which she casually tossed back. She rested her chin on the large plush toy she was hugging, lost in thought.
"One hundred million? Haven't you had any special guests lately?"
"My points and happiness points haven't increased significantly in a long time."
Tao Zhizhi noticed that her happiness points had dwindled significantly after buying the pot, making her hesitant and timid when browsing the system's online store.
One hundred million was used to retrieve Tao Zhizhi's data panel:
Host: Tao Zhizhi
Restaurant: Warm Food Stall
8 recipes learned
Deliciousness Points: 1050
Happiness Point: 100
Yi Yi searched through all the abilities he had in his mind.
"Host, I have a prediction opportunity now. Do you want to buy it? It only costs twenty points! (′-w-`)"
Tao Zhizhi hesitated for a few seconds: "I'll buy it!"
Upon receiving the money—one hundred million—that was his own private stash, he was overjoyed and danced with delight.
"Stop emitting multicolored lights, it hurts my eyes—"
The host ruthlessly thwarted the joy of the 100 million, replacing it with a cold child's voice:
"Host, please wait a moment, I will begin the prediction shortly—"
Tao Zhizhi browsed the online store while waiting, but hesitated to click on the amount.
"Host, I'm back!"
"Host, please be patient, she will appear within this week!"
"Since this is the host's first purchase, I'll give you a bonus: she provides a lot of happiness points!"
Tao Zhizhi was pleasantly surprised because she saw a buff skill—five-minute fully automatic steaming and cooking. As long as she put her hands on the cookware and used the vitality-restoring water, she could easily prepare meals.
However, it requires 800 points and can only last for two days.
Fu Jue, on the other hand, is currently having a miserable meeting.
Then she had to endure Fu Linyue's questioning and sarcastic remarks.
"Young Master Fu? A kitchen helper?"
"It's been over twenty years, and we haven't been lucky enough to see you cook, Jiaojiao, don't you think so!"
Lin Jiao smiled, her gaze towards Fu Jue filled with mockery.
Fu Jue's face darkened: "You went to investigate her?"
Fu Linyue coughed, feeling guilty: "No, I was just asking, I won't go directly to her."
