Chapter 161 A Shopping Trip



Zhang Haiyang waved his hand: "No need, I just really like the food here!"

Lin Qingyu quickly tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Everyone is working so early and it must be very tiring. Director Zhang, you'll need to have breakfast before you start working too!"

"Haha! You're right, boss lady, we'll eat here then!"

Zhang Haiyang then led his three men into a private room, seemingly indicating that he had no intention of not eating there.

However, Lin Qingyu was happy to waste her breath. She was already quite embarrassed, and she would feel even worse if the person really left without having eaten.

Only after a deluxe breakfast was served in the private room did Lin Qingyu have time to properly examine the plaque.

It's made of wood and looks very heavy; I don't know what kind of wood it's made of.

However, nowadays, very few people use such plaques; they are usually used by long-established shops.

Lin Qingyu gestured to herself, thinking that it should be able to be hung up, right?

After Zhang Haiyang and the others finished their meal, they helped Lin Qingyu move the plaque out.

The group took a group photo at the entrance, and Zhang Haiyang left satisfied, leaving his assistant behind to hang the plaque for Lin Qingyu.

More people gathered around, including many cyclists and pedestrians, all curiously looking at the signboard at the entrance of the Jade Restaurant.

However, the items were so heavy that it took several young men wearing glasses a lot of effort to lift them onto the top of the gate.

However, having the shelf placed right at the entrance is really affecting business.

Lin Qingyu was speechless; so many young men couldn't even get one thing done.

"Boss lady! We need a hammer here, could you help us find one?"

There were two people standing on the shelf. One of them, a chubby boy, kept asking Lin Qingyu for things, such as nails, hammers, boards, and axes.

After working on it for half a day, the signboard still hasn't been hung up.

Just as Lin Qingyu was about to go and search without complaint, she saw two men walking across the street, and they looked exactly like that kind of people.

Perhaps it's the air of a soldier? He looks a lot like Lin Dajun.

After they came over, they went straight to Lin Qingyu and said, "The boss sent us to do some work. Does the boss's wife need any help?"

Lin Qingyu looked at the two trembling figures on the shelf and sighed.

"Please help me hang up the plaque. I'll have them come down first."

Upon hearing that someone had come to help, the two scholars on the shelf climbed down without waiting for Lin Qingyu's instructions.

The thinner one's legs were still trembling a little. Lin Qingyu couldn't bear to scold him, so she just smiled apologetically and said, "You two have worked hard. I'll have someone go up and fill it up. Please have a cup of tea before you go!"

The two of them were too embarrassed to drink tea anymore, so they quickly waved their hands and shook their heads, and ran away in a flash.

Immediately afterwards, the two men scrambled up the wooden frame and, using the tools available there, quickly secured the plaque in place.

A red cloth was hanging on it, which Zhang Haiyang had hung up before he left. He was usually very low-key, so he left in a hurry before anyone else had taken off the red cloth.

The two of them pulled one end of the red cloth down so that Lin Qingyu could pull it open.

After everything was packed up, it was unveiled before noon.

Lin Qingyu also bought firecrackers, thinking that she had given Zhang Haiyang enough face.

With such a grand display, even if the onlookers didn't see Zhang Haiyang in person, they could still hear about it from the gossips who had been there since early morning.

Thus, the fact that Zhang Haiyang personally bestowed a plaque upon the Jade Restaurant became the biggest news in Xinshi City.

Many newspapers rushed to interview Lin Qingyu, but she declined them all.

This really affected her business, and after just two days, she decided she didn't want to go anymore.

There are so many people surrounding the restaurant every day, it's so annoying!

She hadn't gone out today and had stayed home, so Li Juan went to look for her.

Is Qingyu home?

Li Juan knocked on the door again, carrying a basket of things. She was lying on the sofa at home, reading a novel.

Li Xiuhua and the nanny took the child out to play. The environment in this compound is quite nice, and there is a small park next door.

Lin Dajun went with her, leaving Lin Qingyu alone at home.

She got up to open the door, greeting her with a smile, "Juanzi, you've come at just the right time today! I just happened to be away from the restaurant!"

As soon as Li Juan entered the room, she grabbed Lin Qingyu's hand and said, "You're such a busy person! I always want to hang out with you but I can't find you anywhere!"

"Oh, it's all for making a living!"

The two laughed, looking as if they had returned to their childhood.

Back then, it was always you coming to my house to find me, and me coming to your house to find you.

In short, they are inseparable best friends, although both of them are now married and Lin Qingyu is a parent.

However, she also felt that their friendship had not changed.

Li Juan brought a basket of loquats and cherries, both of which are not commonly seen fruits.

"Try it, it's so sweet! I'd also like to ask you to go shopping, but you're never free!"

Lin Qingyu ate a cherry, and it was indeed sweet, unlike any she had eaten before.

Hearing Li Juan say this, she immediately felt a little embarrassed.

"I've been busy with the restaurant, and I wanted to chat with you, but I haven't had a chance to."

"That's perfect! You should have some time today, right? Let's head to Star Square now! I heard there's an event there today!"

Li Juan invited Lin Qingyu with a beaming smile, a smile that reminded Lin Qingyu of their childhood.

Back then, the two little girls would always run to town together, and even if they had no money, they would still lie by the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The two little girls watched as people from the supply and marketing cooperative came and went, buying all sorts of daily necessities, candies, and biscuits.

I often spend the whole morning looking at things, and only run home when I feel hungry.

Lin Qingyu ate another large cherry, clapped her hands, and said, "Great! It's been so long since we've had a proper conversation. I'll go out after I change my clothes!"

She got up and walked towards the stairs; the couple's bedroom was on the second floor.

As Lin Qingyu was about to reach the top of the steps, she suddenly turned around and looked at Li Juan.

"Juanzi, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there!"

Li Juan moved her hand from her body to the sofa armrest and nodded in response.

Soon, Lin Qingyu changed her clothes and came downstairs, her figure returning to its original state.

She was wearing a light green cheongsam, perfect for spring, with a trench coat over it; the weather in April was still a bit chilly.

Li Juan herself was wearing a pink dress, and she said jokingly.

"We're trying to look young! Hahaha, we're both so old, but we're dressed so youthfully!"

Lin Qingyu disagreed, saying, "No way! We're only in our early twenties, just when we're young!"

The two walked hand in hand down the street, just like sisters, just like when they were little.

Young and beautiful girls always attract more attention from passersby.
