Even with five extra-large ovens baking at the same time, they still can't keep up with demand. The people queuing up are all taking it away; they're buying a lot because they need to feed their whole family.
Those who dine in the restaurant receive preferential treatment and can eat in just three to five minutes.
Ning Yan wiped her mouth with a tissue. "You didn't even look at the name of this store."
The breakfast shop's name simply includes the words "sesame seed cake".
I guess those wontons and steamed dumplings are just for diverting customers; if they get impatient waiting for the sesame cakes, they'll have a second option.
After leaving the pancake shop, Yi Qiansheng made arrangements to take Ning Yan to work.
"No need, I've already driven out, and besides, your company and my workplace aren't in the same direction."
"Then I'll pick you up after get off work this afternoon to go to the movies."
Ning Yan nodded this time, and then the two drove away separately.
Ning Yan's office was set off at 4:30 PM, just as she was about to leave work at 5 PM. She was carrying a bright red rose and swaggered into the office.
Yi Qiansheng handed the flowers to Ning Yan, saying, "These are for you."
Ning Yan reached out and took it. "Thank you. You'll have to wait for me a bit. It's not time for me to leave work yet."
Seeing the disappointed and regretful looks on the men's faces, Yi Qiansheng was satisfied. He had come today to assert his dominance. He had finally gotten a girlfriend, and he didn't want to have her stolen away. "I know, you go ahead with your work, I'll wait for you in the car."
"No need, you can just wait here. I'll write something and be done in a minute."
While she was young, she wanted to achieve something. She didn't expect to get promoted immediately, but at least she wanted to make a good impression on her superiors, like her mother who could get a full salary even if she didn't go to work.
She now works at the Geological Bureau, and she is extremely knowledgeable about mineral exploration, having published books in ancient times after all.
Ning Yan moved a chair next to Yi Qiansheng, poured him a glass of water, and handed him a book. Then she focused on continuing to type.
Half an hour passed quickly. I closed the laptop and put it in my laptop bag. "Okay, let's go."
With one hand holding the laptop and the other holding the rose, he waited for Yi Qiansheng to put the book back before they left the office together.
Several colleagues teased her, saying, "Xiao Ning, is this your boyfriend? You two look like a perfect match."
Ning Yan glanced at Yi Qiansheng, only to find him looking at her with amusement in his eyes. She turned back and laughed, "How are we a good match? I'm clearly prettier than him."
Yi Qiansheng smiled indulgently: "Yes, yes, you are the most beautiful. I am the one who is worthy of you!"
"What are you trying to prove? We haven't officially started dating yet."
His colleagues all left with smiles on their faces.
These two seem to have a real connection. Even if they're not officially dating, it's only temporary. Looks like I should start preparing my wedding gift money.
Yi Qiansheng leaned over and took Ning Yan's hand that was holding the roses. "I thought we were already boyfriend and girlfriend."
"No, you're still in the probationary period; you haven't been officially hired yet. My mom says we need to spend more time together before committing to a relationship, so we don't regret it later."
Yi Qiansheng said helplessly, "Okay, then you can observe me first, but can't you just give me a permanent position first?"
You can even test someone's character when they become your boyfriend.
Ning Yan let him hold her hand, saying, "It depends on how you behave."
Yi Qiansheng really wanted to perform well, but Ning Yan went on a business trip three days later.
That's how it is at the Geological Bureau; when things get hectic, you're on business trips for two-thirds of the year.
Three days after she left, the two could no longer contact each other; they couldn't get through on the phone.
Fortunately, Ning Yan had told him before her business trip that she was going to a remote place where the signal might be bad; otherwise, Yi Qiansheng would probably have called the police.
Yi Qiansheng was the only child of Yi's parents, and this son had always been their greatest pride: he was cute and well-behaved when he was young, and everyone praised him when they took him out.
He was a good student after starting school, and he never ranked second. He would get so angry that he would cry if he couldn't get a perfect score that he would ask his parents to hire a tutor for him.
He got into the best university in China through the college entrance examination, and he started his own business while he was still a sophomore. The key point is that he succeeded. Which of his friends and relatives didn't envy him?
However, they started having headaches after the child graduated from university.
The two main headaches are: First, he only went to the company at home once and never went back.
Second, I won't have a girlfriend!
The couple was scared; if the company didn't take responsibility, they could at least hire a professional manager.
But it would be abnormal not to have a girlfriend. A 27-year-old isn't a 7-year-old, so he must have something going on, right?
Why doesn't he solve it?
Who should we contact to resolve this?
Therefore, all the male employees of Yi Qiansheng's company were once blacklisted by the two elders.
But soon, all of those people were ruled out.
Just then, a strange thing happened in the capital, and they were worried that their son had contracted that strange disease. Later, they found out that he did not, and the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
But they were even more worried. They wouldn't look for men or women, not even ugly ones, because they were afraid that their son had a health problem.
Just when they were about to persuade their son to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, his aunt introduced him to a potential partner. Desperate, they forced their son to go on the blind date, and lo and behold, the two of them actually hit it off.
They are now hoping that their son will bring the girl home so they can meet her, but despite their repeated hints, their son has said that he cannot bring her home.
The elderly mother was puzzled, "Why can't I bring it back?"
"First, she went on a business trip to a remote mountain area, and her phone had no signal, so I couldn't contact her."
Secondly, if we want her to step into our family, she'll have to get past her mother first; she listens to her mother in everything.
Yi's mother: She listens to her mother in everything? Isn't that just being a mama's girl?
A mama's girl is fine too. After all, she's a woman. At worst, she can be a little more family-oriented. Their family may not have much else, but they have money.
"Then what are you still doing here?"
If your daughter-in-law isn't home, you should take care of the house for her.
Don't you know how to give gifts?
Can't you please your future in-laws?
If you don't know how, can't you just ask me to teach you?
Do I really need to teach you this?
Yi's mother's voice grew louder and louder until she was spitting everywhere. She was really angry. "Do you know where the key to getting a wife is? Why don't you break through that key?"
As a result, all this brat knows is how to make money. He's always on time for work, and if he keeps going like this, when will he ever get a wife?
Seeing that his mother was about to hit him, Yi Qiansheng quickly ran away.
While driving, he called his aunt, "Auntie, there's something I need to trouble you with."
Ms. Qiu rarely receives calls from her nephew. It's not that their relationship is bad; they never miss sending each other gifts during holidays, and the children help her with anything. It's just that she's usually too busy, so she speaks very concisely.
"Tell me, Auntie will take care of anything you need."
Yi Qiansheng then asked what she wanted to ask.
"Oh, Xiao Sheng, let me tell you, Zuo Yuzhen is the gentlest of all, and has a great personality."
When Yan Yan was little, she didn't have much of her own opinion. Her mother was afraid that she would be deceived, so she disciplined and taught her every day, which made her develop the habit of listening to her mother in everything.
Don't worry, if you two get married, Yan Yan will at most consult her mother for advice; it won't affect your relationship. (End of Chapter)
