On National Day.
He Wenlin opened two cake shops at the same time.
Mr. and Mrs. He did not come this time.
He Wenlin went to the Yida store early in the morning. The store manager there was someone He Wenlin poached from Runda Supermarket.
Liu Xinze arrived a little after nine o'clock.
"Linlin."
He Wenlin admired him for one thing: no matter how much she ignored him, he always had a smile on his face.
"Mr. Liu," He Wenlin said, her tone distant yet polite.
"Don't be so formal." Liu Xinze took out his wallet. "I'll buy a 500 yuan voucher first."
"Please proceed this way," He Wenlin gestured.
Liu Xinze felt a pang of regret at spending 500 yuan on a cake voucher at once.
But when he thought about how wealthy He Wenlin was, he felt relieved.
He bought a 500 yuan voucher and the store gave him a free 12-inch birthday cake voucher, valid for six months.
The number of customers in the store gradually increased.
Liu Xinze bought the vouchers but didn't leave. He stayed here, busying himself with serving the customers.
He Wenlin: "..."
He Wenlin tried to tell him to stop, but he interrupted her.
Then, she continued to greet the guests actively, busying herself with everything, even more so than He Wenlin.
There were too many people in the store, and He Wenlin didn't want to argue with him there.
It was around noon, a little after 12.
The store is finally less crowded.
"Mr. Liu, would you like to go outside and talk?"
Liu Xinze felt that his persistence had finally paid off, and said with a smile, "Let me treat you to dinner. What would you like to eat? There's a hot pot restaurant called Yaomei'er on the sixth floor. I've eaten there before, and it's pretty good."
He Wenlin nodded: "Let's skip the hot pot for lunch and just go to the Cantonese restaurant across the street." It's a good opportunity to discuss this in person.
Liu Xinze was overjoyed: "Then let's go."
When we arrived at the restaurant, we found a seat by the window.
The waiter quickly brought over the menu.
"Linlin, order something, see what you'd like to eat."
He Wenlin looked down at the menu and asked, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"No, just order whatever you'd like to eat."
"Seafood congee, a platter of braised meats, garlic spare ribs, spicy baby squid, and a pitcher of freshly squeezed orange juice, is that alright? Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Liu Xinze: "Either is fine..."
He Wenlin handed the menu to the waiter: "Then let's bring these first."
The waiter confirmed the menu with He Wenlin again before leaving.
"I'm going to the restroom."
He Wenlin got up and left.
More than ten minutes later, He Wenlin returned to her seat.
The orange juice and braised platter has been served.
Liu Xinze poured her orange juice with great care.
"Aren't you tired of being so busy every day?" Liu Xinze asked. "Girls shouldn't work so hard."
"fine."
"You started a business at fourteen, that's really impressive. You could write a biography about it. I heard you started by making boxed lunches, your skills must be amazing. When will I have the honor of tasting them?"
He Wenlin smiled politely: "Then you really don't have that chance."
He Wenlin doesn't even cook for herself anymore, yet she cooks for him? Who does he think he is? He's just dreaming.
He Wenlin now spends at least three weekends a month returning to Shaoxing to handle business there.
Her family lives over there, so why would she need to cook?
In Shanghai, I usually have to attend classes and run a business after class, so I don't have time to cook. I only occasionally cook some noodles.
After the meal, He Wenlin took out two vouchers for a 12-inch birthday cake and gave them to Liu Xinze: "Thank you for your help this morning. This is a thank-you gift for you."
"I helped out of my own free will, you're being too polite," Liu Xinze quickly pushed it back.
"Keep it. I already paid for this meal. But no matter what you do, I have no feelings for you. I'm busy and don't have time for romance. Most importantly, I don't have any feelings for you, so don't waste your time."
Liu Xinze was completely stunned.
He thought he had won over He Wenlin.
Who knew it would turn out like this!
He Wenlin slung her bag over her shoulder, got up, and left.
Liu Xinze quickly caught up and grabbed her arm: "Linlin..."
"Don't touch me."
Liu Xinze let go of her: "Linlin..."
"I've made myself perfectly clear. Don't waste your time. Don't come looking for me, okay?"
"I won't affect your work. I just want to stay by your side quietly. I won't bother you or hold you back. Linlin, you can't stay single and unmarried forever, right? That day will come sooner or later. I..."
"I'll say it again, I have no feelings for you. Stop bothering me; it'll only make you annoying."
After saying that, He Wenlin entered the elevator, and Liu Xinze just followed her.
As soon as he got to the first floor, someone called out to him, and Liu Xinze recognized his mother.
He could only let He Wenlin leave, then walked over to his mother, his face somewhat grim: "What's wrong?"
"Who's that girl? Your girlfriend?" Aunt Liu stared at He Wenlin's back for a long time.
"Not yet."
"Not yet? You're pursuing her, aren't you? She doesn't look very tall, is she even 1.6 meters? Where is she from? What does she do? What's her family situation?"
"That big boss is worth tens of millions and lives in the Biyuntang Villa."
Upon hearing that He Wenlin lived in the Biyuntang Villa, Aunt Liu's expression instantly changed: "So rich!!!"
"She's still a college student, but she started doing business in her teens. She owns factories and has more than a dozen chain cake shops. The He Shifu Cake Shop downstairs is one of her chain brands."
