Li Sha said angrily, "Er Lv, I'll emphasize again: you and I are just ordinary friends. I have the freedom to contact any man, and that's none of your business. Also, I have to warn you: if you want to interfere with my freedom, from now on, we can't even be ordinary friends anymore."
“Sasha, I’m just reminding you because I’m worried you’ve been tricked by that old man. Maybe you don’t know the boss’s history. He’s a notorious gambler in Qinglong Town. Back then, when he lost money, he actually sold his own daughter for a thousand dollars.”
"Erlv, you've said it three times already. I'm so tired of hearing it. So what if Brother Ma gambles and sells his daughter? Now, he's focused on making money and is more successful than you."
“Sasha, I admit that the boss has changed for the better now. But as the old saying goes, ‘It’s easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one’s nature.’ I think it won’t be long before the boss goes back to the gambling table. When that happens, he will not only sell his daughter, but also his wife. Just wait and see.”
After Li Sha finished dressing up, she turned around and walked out.
"Sasha, where are you going?"
"Didn't Brother Ma invite us to dinner? We might as well take advantage of it."
Erlv followed behind Li Sha, nagging as he walked: "Shasha, I'm truly sincere towards you. I wish I could dig out my heart and show it to you. It's a bright red heart with 'I love you, Shasha' written all over it."
Li Sha sneered, "Erlv, are you reciting a poem? Which novel describes something like that, where you can write on your heart?"
"Sasha, to be honest, I would even dare to jump off Qinglong Cliff for you."
As it happened, the two of them walked to the edge of a pond.
Li Sha stopped, pointed at the pond, and said, "Erlu, since you dared to jump off Qinglong Cliff, you must not care about jumping into this pond, right?"
Erlv asked in a panic, "Sasha, do you mean I should jump into the pond right now?"
"Yes, jump quickly."
Erlu hesitated and said, "Sasha, I would jump into the ocean without hesitation, let alone the pond. But we need to get to the Mantanghong Hotel quickly, the boss is waiting."
"Erlu, I'm going to make you jump into the pond right now. If you don't, we're done."
Erlu was forced to join the Liangshan bandits, and he gazed at the pond.
There were lots of cow dung floating in the pond, in clumps, which looked disgusting.
If you jump into the pond, you'll have to take three baths when you get home.
Erlu was filled with remorse. He shouldn't have suggested jumping off Qinglong Cliff; he had just been asking for trouble.
At this critical moment, Ma Yunfei stood on the second floor of the Mantanghong Hotel and shouted loudly, "Erlv, Shasha, what are you two doing standing by the pond? Come on, I've already ordered the food."
Li Sha said excitedly, "Brother Ma, do you know what I like to eat?"
"Sasha, I've heard you say this countless times before. I've ordered all the dishes you like to eat."
Erlv felt a mix of emotions. He never expected that his boss would know exactly what dishes Sasha liked to eat. It was clear that their relationship was more than just ordinary.
Although Ma Yunfei had only met Li Sha twice, Li Sha was a talkative woman, and she had mentioned what dishes she liked to eat during their first meeting.
Ma Yunfei has a very good memory and is very meticulous; he kept all these words in mind.
Li Sha skipped and hopped to the Mantanghong Hotel.
Filled with resentment and anger, Erlv followed Li Sha into the restaurant.
Seeing Erlv's gloomy face, Ma Yunfei suddenly realized that it must be because he had said he knew what Li Sha liked to eat that Erlv had become suspicious.
Ma Yunfei quickly explained, "Sasha, the first time I met you was at the No. 1 Shop Under Heaven. You once said that your two favorite dishes were braised prawns and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. You said it three times in a row, almost making my ears calloused. Even if I didn't mean it, I would remember it."
Ma Yunfei's explanation worked, and Erlv immediately felt relieved. He also remembered that Li Sha had run into Ma Yunfei when she went to the No. 1 Shop in the World.
When the topic of banquets came up, Li Sha once said, "If there are no braised prawns and scrambled eggs with tomatoes at a banquet, I will definitely leave in a huff. I am not interested in any other dishes besides these two."
After the three were seated, Ma Yunfei said to the waiter, "Let's get the dishes ready."
Li Sha deliberately moved the stool next to Ma Yunfei and sat down next to him.
This action made Erlv jealous again.
Ma Yunfei was a little embarrassed and quickly said, "Erlv, let's switch seats. I'm afraid of the heat and like to sit by the window and eat in the cool breeze."
Ma Yunfei stood up and pulled Erlv over.
He made Erlv and Lisha sit next to each other, a gesture that touched Erlv.
Li Sha pouted, looking sullen.
The food has arrived.
Ma Yunfei asked, "What kind of drinks would you two like?"
Li Sha quickly said, "Give me a bottle of wine."
Erlv said, "Boss, we're men, let's go for the white stuff."
The three of them ate and chatted.
Ma Yunfei deliberately said, "Sasha, don't forget your promise after you've had a few drinks."
"Brother Ma, what did I promise?"
“Sasha, you can’t be that forgetful, can you? Just an hour ago, you promised that you would get rid of those two people who were buying yams within a week.”
"Hehe... Brother Ma, I won't forget this, I will definitely keep my promise."
"Sasha, the set of cosmetics I bought for you was because of your promise."
Erlv chimed in, "So it turns out that Sasha's cosmetics set was a gift from the boss. Boss, you're so generous!"
"Hehe... Sasha provided me with valuable information, this is her reward."
Ma Yunfei deliberately clarified the matter of sending cosmetics in order to clear up Erlv's misunderstanding of him.
Erlv asked curiously, "Boss, I heard you say that the yam business is not profitable, but why are there still people coming to buy yams?"
Ma Yunfei's heart pounded. If Erlv knew that making money from yams was profitable, he would definitely get involved in the sales station.
Erlu's uncle is the town mayor, so he will definitely favor Erlu.
Who knows, Erlv might even steal the yam sales station, which would be a really bad situation.
Ma Yunfei didn't intend to engage in yam reselling long-term; frankly, it was just a stopgap measure.
The sales station was established thanks to the town mayor's power, and it couldn't be sustained in the long run.
Ma Yunfei simply wanted to make his first fortune by selling yams, so that he could have capital to pursue other ventures.
Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "The yam business is not doing well in China, but I've heard that you can make a lot of money if you ship them abroad. Maybe these people are doing international business. It's a pity that we country bumpkins don't have the channels to do international business. We're lucky if we can make a little money."
