Chapter 355 Zheng Shuhui's Mixed Feelings
"President Shi," Su Meisu said excitedly, "I came here today specifically to thank you!"
As she spoke, she handed the box in her hand to Shi Nian.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation," Su Meisu said, wiping her eyes.
Shi Nian reached out and took it, opened it, and saw that the box contained some of the latest pastries made by Su Meisu.
“It was tough raising my daughter alone, but everything has been better since you came to my little shop.”
Su Meisu spoke, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"It wasn't just your company that ordered our pastries; several other companies also ordered tea and snacks from us later."
"After that, my little shop had a stable income!"
As she spoke, Su Meisu smiled—a genuine and simple smile.
“I noticed you really enjoyed these last time, so I brought them for you,” Su Meisu said. “This is my latest creation; I hope you like it.”
Shi Nian looked at Su Meisu's crying and laughing, and lowered her eyes slightly.
If she and her mother had received such help when they were down on their luck, perhaps... they wouldn't have ended up like this today.
Thinking about it, she smiled and said, "It's because your own work is good; I didn't recommend it."
“That’s because you discovered me!” Su Meisu added.
She must always remember to accept this token of her gratitude.
Although she had nothing, all she could do was make some snacks for Shi Nian.
Looking at her sincere expression, Shi Nian sighed softly.
Then, Shi Nian said, "Then let's send some here too from now on."
Huo Yanmo nodded as well: "I'll have the butler contact you."
Su Meisu opened her mouth wide in surprise.
"I...I didn't mean that." She wasn't there to pick up an order.
Shi Nian smiled and said, "I think it tastes good. Are you not going to sell it to me?"
"No, no, I mean, it's free," Su Meisu quickly said.
"That won't do," Huo Yanmo said with a smile. "If you do that, Niannian won't dare to eat it."
Su Meisu reluctantly nodded.
After a long pause, she finally said, "You are all such good people."
Shi Nian shook her head to indicate that it was nothing to worry about, and said, "Come in and have a seat."
"No, no," Su Meisu said. "You all should get some rest."
Seeing that Su Meisu refused repeatedly, Shi Nian went inside with Huo Yanmo.
Not long after, someone ran out and came to Su Meisu, who was still there.
"Ms. Su? Please come in. Let's talk about tea and refreshments."
Su Meisu nodded immediately and followed them inside.
...
The car drove all the way in.
Shi Nian looked at the food box with a dejected expression.
They continued deeper into the area.
Upon reaching the door, Shi Nian did not immediately go inside.
"You should go back first," Shi Nian said.
Huo Yanmo could tell that Shi Nian wanted to go to Zheng Shuhui's place, so he nodded.
Shi Nian carried the food box all the way to Zheng Shuhui's side.
She reached out and knocked on the door of Zheng Shuhui's residence.
After a while, Zheng Shuhui opened the door.
"It's so late, why did you come over?" Zheng Shuhui asked, but did not let Shi Nian in.
Shi Nian handed over the box in her hand.
"There's some good food here, I brought it over, and I'd like to eat with you," Shi Nian said.
However, Zheng Shuhui still didn't let Shi Nian in; she simply reached out and took the food box.
Shi Nian pursed her lips, wondering if she could go in and talk to her.
But before she could speak, Zheng Shuhui said, "Okay, I received it."
Shi Nian opened her mouth, but the words were swallowed back down.
"It's late, go back and rest," Zheng Shuhui said.
Shi Nian paused for a moment, then nodded after about three seconds.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "I've reserved some shares for you during the game. If there's a profit later, you'll receive a share of the profits."
"Okay, I understand," Zheng Shuhui said.
There's still no intention to keep it as a memento.
Shi Nian understood Zheng Shuhui's meaning: she was not welcome.
Shi Nian felt a little wronged. She raised her head and looked at Zheng Shuhui.
She really wanted to talk to her.
"mom……"
The door closed as soon as the words were spoken.
Shi Nian lowered her head.
She stood there alone, the wind gently blowing, ruffling her hair.
Finally, she suppressed her sadness and turned to leave.
Inside the house, Zheng Shuhui watched Shi Nian leave.
Her eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions.
For many years, the relationship between the mother and daughter has been strained.
Zheng Shuhui opened the food box and looked at the snacks inside.
Zheng Shuhui took it out and tasted it.
It's quite delicious, she knew, Shi Nian had always loved eating these little things.
"well……"
Zheng Shuhui sighed deeply and put down the food box.
She wanted to go out for a walk.
We took a shuttle bus all the way out.
Then she walked out along the lake.
Just then, she saw someone.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much!" a woman's voice came from inside. "I'm really sorry to trouble you to sign the contract with me so late at night."
"Don't mention it. Miss Shi must really enjoy your pastries to want to sign a contract with you. It's our duty, nothing we should do." It was the butler's voice.
When Zheng Shuhui heard Shi Nian mentioned, she went over to him.
The housekeeper saw her and immediately greeted her.
Zheng Shuhui nodded, then looked at the middle-aged woman next to her.
He glanced again at the contracts that were still lying on the table.
It's an order for snacks.
Zheng Shuhui suddenly remembered the box of snacks she had just eaten.
It was something Shi Nian brought over; it was a flavor Shi Nian liked.
Just now, Shi Nian wanted to eat with her.
“Su Meisu?” Zheng Shuhui read the name on the contract.
Su Meisu nodded immediately and asked with a smile, "And you are?"
“I am…” Zheng Shuhui thought for a moment, not knowing how to say it.
The butler immediately said, "This is Ms. Zheng Shuhui, Miss Shi's mother."
Su Meisu suddenly realized.
She immediately came forward: "So you're Miss Shi's mother! You're so beautiful! No wonder you looked so familiar!"
"Miss Shi really helped me a lot. If it weren't for Miss Shi bringing me the order, my daughter and I might have been very sad."
Su Meisu said excitedly.
Zheng Shuhui frowned slightly. The woman in front of her and her daughter?
The butler looked left and right, unsure whether to stop it or not.
Su Meisu believed that Shi Nian's family were all good people, so she was not on guard.
Besides, Shi Nian already knew about her family situation. This person was Shi Nian's mother, and they lived together, so there was even less to worry about.
With that in mind, Su Meisu recounted the whole story.
She specifically mentioned her relationship with her daughter.
"Thank you so much!" she said.
Zheng Shuhui looked at Su Meisu.
She didn't speak, but nodded after listening to what Su Meisu said.
Her feelings were mixed.
