"Hey, you've expanded your business to the school," Teacher Qi said with a smile. "Why wasn't I included in the voucher offer? Am I not qualified to support you?"
He Wenlin smiled and said, "Teacher, I've already put a cake in your office. If you want some, just tell me, and I'll bring it to you rain or shine."
"loquacious."

At this moment, Chen Xinyi arrived with two female classmates.
He Wenlin wasn't quite sure of the two girls' names, but she knew they usually interacted with Chen Xinyi quite a bit.
"I didn't realize you were such a big boss," Chen Xinyi teased. "We'll definitely be there to support you."
"He, are you really the boss? My name is Lin Wei."
"These are my business cards." He Wenlin handed out one business card to each of the three of them. Zhang Mengqi and Fu Rong were also there, so He Wenlin gave one to each of them as well.
"General Manager of Master He Food Pre-made Company, General Manager of Xiangzhiyuan Food Company Co., Ltd., General Manager of Xiangmeizi Catering Company!!!" Chen Xinyi stared wide-eyed at He Wenlin in disbelief, "You... really?"
Zhang Mengqi and Fu Rong also looked incredulous.
"What do you think?" He Wenlin said with a smile. "My businesses are mainly in Shaoxing, but I will shift my focus to Shanghai in the future. Classmates, please continue to support me."
"Your business? Not a family business?" Lin Wei asked in surprise.
"No, I earned these businesses myself. My parents work for me."
"Your parents work for you???" Everyone shouted in unison.
He Wenlin: "My father is a chef, but he is also the head chef and manager of our family's fast food restaurant. He is currently in charge of the restaurant."
My mom is the manager of my cake factory; she handles the day-to-day operations.
The factory manager and production supervisor at Xiangzhiyuan Food Factory were both hired from outside at high salaries, which is why I can afford a Mercedes-Benz. But you probably wouldn't believe it if I told you.
Just like in the beginning, relatives and friends didn't believe it either.
They genuinely didn't believe it; it completely shattered their understanding.
"Aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Zhang Mengqi said. "How did you earn so much? You couldn't have earned all this in just one or two years. You still have to go to school, where do you find the time?"
“You’re right, it wasn’t something she earned in just one or two years. Linlin started doing it in 2000.” He Shan looked proud. “I started working with her in 2000, but she’s amazing; she even got into a good school. I can’t do that…”
He Wenlin said calmly, "I took a semester off in my third year of junior high school to focus on my business. After I was admitted to high school, two schools were vying for me. I told them whichever school would let me take leave, that's the school I would go to."
If I can't take leave from any school, I'll attend a private school. During my first and second years of high school, I took leave quite a few times, and my teachers talked to me several times, especially my math teacher, who was furious with me.
I didn't take leave until the crucial final year of high school, when the company wasn't expanding and was in a period of consolidation.
Because her grades in other subjects were good, she often failed math in her first and second years of high school.
After her college entrance exam results came out, her teachers all said that if she had worked harder in her first and second years of high school and done better in math, she could have definitely gotten into Fudan University or something similar.
Zhang Mengqi: "Then why didn't you say anything before? It caused everyone to misunderstand you so much."
Chen Xinyi laughed and said, "You're too low-key. If someone hadn't spread rumors about you, would you have kept quiet?"
“Indeed, I didn’t plan to say it,” He Wenlin said. “But now that I’ve said it, I guess many people still won’t believe it, and they might even say I’m the boss’s mistress.”
Hearing this, He Shan's eyes widened: "Linlin, what do you mean? Is someone spreading rumors about you? Saying you're a mistress?"
There were rumors that He Wenlin was being kept by a sugar daddy, but He Wenlin never told He Shan or her family.
So they didn't know.
“Last time I bought a Mercedes-Benz and drove it to school, people saw it and said I was being kept by a sugar daddy.”
"Bullshit!" He Shan cursed angrily. "How rich would that guy have to be to support you? He thinks he can support you with just a Mercedes? Who does he think he is?"
Seeing how excited He Shan was, everyone had more faith in the information on He Wenlin's business card.
"Linlin, who started this rumor? I'm going to teach him a lesson!" He Shan asked. "I'm going to call all our relatives and friends over and beat him up!"
"I wish I knew."
If she knew, would she need to notify anyone else? She would have already started a fight.
When asked, everyone said they heard it from someone else. Who told them? They didn't know, they just heard it from others.
She felt she hadn't offended anyone, so she didn't even have a goal.
He Wenlin said, "Don't go back and tell them about this, otherwise it will eventually reach my parents' and grandmother's ears. Once the business is done well, the rumors will fall apart on their own. Don't waste your time on this."
He Wenlin is giving out vouchers today, partly to prove her innocence and partly for publicity, killing two birds with one stone.
——
Before we knew it, it was May Day.
Mr. and Mrs. He arrived on the evening of the 30th.
On the 1st, I arrived at the store very early in the morning.
The store started playing energetic music around 8 PM, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
Around nine o'clock, General Manager Cao from Yimin, General Manager Lin from the distributor, and Manager An, the real estate agent who sold He Wenlin's villa, each sent two large flower baskets.
They walked around the store, and it was clear that General Manager Cao and General Manager Lin were the ones who most hoped He Wenlin's business would prosper.
Because He Wenlin's business is good, she can order more raw materials from them.
He Wenlin smiled and said, "You're too kind. You've all made time for lunch together."
Distributor General Manager Lin: "General Manager He, General Manager Xu, and Little General Manager He, to be honest, I already made an appointment for lunch. When you return to Shaoxing, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology."
Mr. Cao laughed and said, "Mr. He, I still have to go to Hangzhou on a business trip. Next time, next time, I'll treat."
"I have appointments with clients to view properties, so there's no need for dinner. Mr. He, just remember to contact me if you're looking to buy a house or shop," Manager An said with a smile. "Everyone has time to look at properties during the May Day holiday."
The executives shook hands with them and prepared to leave.
He Wenlin joked, "It's a holiday today, everyone's on vacation, but you're all so busy. Are you really that busy, or are you just unwilling to give us the time?"
"There really is something going on, otherwise, why wouldn't we come when Mr. He is treating us?" said Mr. Cao.
Mr. Lin: "When you return to Shaoxing, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology."
"In that case, I won't keep you any longer."
"You're all busy, you're all busy, may your business prosper, may your business prosper."
...
They left.
He Wenlin noticed that many of her classmates had come.
