Chapter 419 Past Events
The man seemed to realize that Xu Miaomiao was a little nervous, and immediately refilled the teacup in front of him and said, "Madam Xu, how is your store doing recently?"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she nodded in response.
"Thank you for your concern, Boss Ye. Everything is fine in the store."
But Xu Miaomiao's doubts were still not alleviated. His shop was indeed not as good as before. If the man still wanted him to help sell tea, it was obviously not the best choice. He could just find a good shop in Bai County to sell tea, and surely it would do better than him.
After thinking about it, Xu Miaomiao really didn’t understand the meaning of the dish of pigeon she was given today.
But Xu Miaomiao's thoughts seemed to be seen through by the man opposite. The man smiled at him and said softly: "I was indeed a little abrupt to Madam Xu. It is reasonable for Madam Xu to think too much."
Xu Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed when someone suddenly said this to her. She scratched her head and smiled at him: "What are you talking about, Mr. Ye? You have helped me so much, and I really have no way to repay you. That's why I think about it more."
The man nodded when he heard this: "To be honest, what I admire most about Madam Xu is not how many stores you have opened, but that I can always see the shadow of my past self in you."
Xu Miaomiao looked up in confusion when she heard this, only to see the man seemed to be pulled into memories, and he spoke intoxicatedly: "Although Ye's Tea House is a big tea house, it didn't belong to us a long time ago. We are just a side branch, and this Ye's Tea House was opened by the main branch. I still remember that when the main family's grandfather was alive, his greatest wish was to let his descendants make good tea. It's a pity that the people in the main family were not good enough. Later, it was only after I took over the tea house that I made it successful. I don't know if grandpa will regret his decision when he sees this scene."
After Xu Miaomiao heard this, she saw his indifferent expression and knew that something else must have happened. However, the man laughed and said, "Madam Xu, are you also confused when you hear this?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded. He really didn’t understand what the man meant by main line and side line. The last time he heard that was when he was at Xu Qingshan’s house.
Fortunately, Song Wushao did not abandon his main system.
"It's not Madam Xu's fault."
As the man spoke, he stood up and unfolded the folding fan in his hand. His memory seemed to be pulled back to the past, and he slowly said, "I still remember that when I was a child, my family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to cook. At that time, not to mention drinking tea, even boiling a pot of hot water was a luxury."
Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised when she heard the words, because no matter how you looked at the man, he looked like a nobleman who had been brought up since childhood.
The man seemed to know that Xu Miaomiao must be confused. He looked at him and continued slowly, "Madam Xu, you must be curious about my every move. In fact, I was chosen when I was young and was trained together with others. It was a pity that when I took over Ye's Tea House, it was already in decline and on the verge of bankruptcy. I used the knowledge I learned to open Ye's Tea House, and also opened Zui Xiang Fang and Bai Bao Zhai. So every time I see Madam Xu, I always feel that you are very similar to me back then."
"Like what?"
Xu Miaomiao seemed to be still somewhat puzzled. The man laughed and said coldly to Xu Miaomiao, "At that time, I was as fearless as you. I believed that I had certain abilities and could run a good store. You have experienced many failures and it has not been smooth sailing, but I can still see my past in you. Perhaps it is for this reason that I will take better care of you, Madam Xu."
Xu Miaomiao nodded when she heard this. She was wondering what was going on. Maybe it was just a mutual sympathy among people of the same kind. However, after listening to this inspirational story today, Xu Miaomiao felt more confident.
She believed that there was nothing that could not be done with hard work. If there was nothing that could not be done, then it must be because she had not worked hard enough. Xu Miaomiao suddenly had a look of sudden enlightenment in her heart. She bowed to the man and said, "I will remember what happened today. Thank you, Mr. Ye."
The man stood up and shook his head at Xu Miaomiao: "I didn't help you with anything. I just told you my experience honestly. To be honest, I don't plan to help you with anything else. I want to see what you can achieve on your own, Madam Xu."
Xu Miaomiao smiled at him and was about to leave, but she stopped and looked back, smiled at the man, and said, "Mr. Ye, everything you said today is right, but this is wrong. I have never been alone."
After saying this, Xu Miaomiao turned around and left casually. She was similar to the man, but not exactly the same. The biggest difference between them was that she had Gu Yuanniang, Song Weiwei, and Song Wushao. No matter what happened, they would stand firmly behind her. This was the biggest difference between them.
As soon as these words came out, the man was the one who was stunned again. He stood there, staring at Xu Miaomiao's leaving figure, with a smile on his face. He muttered to himself, "It's really interesting!"
When Xu Miaomiao returned home, it was already late at night. Song Weiwei had already fallen asleep, but there was still a light on in the house. As soon as Xu Miaomiao walked into the kitchen, she saw Gu Yuanniang standing in front of the kitchen and frowned subconsciously: "Why did you come back so late? What's going on between you and that person? Is he easy to get along with?"
Xu Miaomiao naturally understood the worries in Gu Yuanniang's heart. She comforted her and held her hand, saying, "You have only recovered for a short time, and you are already worrying about me. You have to drink the medicine I gave you every day to recover. You don't have to worry about me and him. Mr. Ye will not harm us."
Xu Miaomiao stopped talking here. After hearing this, Gu Yuanniang had a general idea in her mind. She chatted with Xu Miaomiao for a few more words and then left.
Perhaps because she had moved to a new home and Xu Miaomiao was still not used to it, she had a sleepless night. When she woke up in the morning, the bed next to her was already cold.
Xu Miaomiao didn't think much about it. Song Wushao usually went to work early. She stretched her body and got up early. For a moment, she didn't know what to do and just went to take a casual look inside the shop.
