“It’s a must!”
"Oh, by the way, Manman, how is the decoration of the store going?"
"The renovations are complete, and Ma Fumin is even helping with the general cleaning! Boss Ma said he'd like you to come over and see if there's anything else that needs changing.
If you don't need them, we can just hire some workers." Su Manman stuffed a meat bun into her mouth.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look this afternoon. Thank you, Manman."

At noon that day, at Heqing Restaurant.
Hong Qiu Sheng, the leader of the Hongmen (gang), booked a restaurant for a banquet to entertain Jing Junzhuo.
The huge dining table was filled with sumptuous dishes and various fresh seafood.
On one side of the dining table sat the leader of the Hongmen and his only daughter Hong Yue, and on the other sat Jing Junzhuo.
Hong Qiusheng said, "Junzhuo, these past few days, I've sent people to your aunt's house to invite you many times, but you didn't respond. What were you busy with?"
Jing Junzhuo said, "I went to Southeast Asia."
"Going to Nanyang must be for business. How is it going? Is everything going well?"
Jing Junzhuo curled his lips and shook his head without saying much.
Hong Qiusheng took out a cigar, and the Hongmen brothers behind him immediately lit it for him. He grinned heartily and said, "It's okay. It's normal for young people to fail in business after losing their backing.
Junzhuo! Let me be frank. I only have one daughter, Yueyue, and I don't have any sons. Her husband will be the successor to my Hongmen boss in the future.
Now, our Yue'er, I like you very much. After seeing you last time, I have been talking about you all the time. This girl has been persistent in doing things since she was a child.
You are the only person she has fallen in love with over the years, so don't let her down!"
Jing Junzhuo looked at Hong Yue.
She is pretty, but Nan Chengcheng's lively face always appears in Jing Junzhuo's mind. He feels that other women are always vulgar and their temperament can't compare with Nan Chengcheng.
He likes Nan Chengcheng's interesting soul.
Facing Jing Junzhuo's gaze, Hong Yue lowered her head shyly.
Jing Junzhuo suddenly felt like vomiting. He frowned, his eyes filled with sadness. He sighed and looked at Hong Qiusheng, "Master Hong, when we went to Nanyang this time, Uncle De died in an accident.
His body hasn't been found yet, and I'm sending people to look for it. At this time, his body is still warm, so I really can't consider my personal problems.
Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Hong, and I hope you can understand my feelings at this moment."
Jing Junzhuo mentioned this matter deliberately, but in fact, he was not sad about Jiang Deqing's death.
When his villa first encountered trouble, Jiang Deqing lent a helping hand and he expressed his gratitude.
However, Jiang Deqing kidnapped Nan Chengcheng and gave her to Meng without his knowledge, which made him very angry.
He wanted to get Nan Chengcheng, but he didn't want to harm her.
Taking her to Nanyang would undoubtedly be like pushing her into a fire pit. If he violently violated her or forced her to have sex, it would be like destroying her. He was still afraid of the consequences.
So, from then on, he never wanted Jiang Deqing to come back alive.
Hong Qiusheng was slightly startled, and slowly put down the cigar in his hand, anger gradually showing on his face, "In today's troubled times, accidents are common. Jiang Deqing and I have worked together a lot over the years, and we are friends.
So, if you get engaged to my daughter, I will immediately send people to Nanyang to find Jiang Deqing's remains and ensure that he returns to his roots.
As for Jiang Deqing's funeral, I'll help you hold a grand ceremony and bury him with honor, how about that?"
Jing Junzhuo looked at Hong Qiusheng and felt extremely disgusted with his face. A gangster who had gained power and was so arrogant really deserved a beating. He bowed politely and said, "Thank you very much, but I won't do that anymore. I'll take care of this matter."
It’s getting late, and I have things to do. Master Hong, take your time eating.”
Hong Qiu Sheng's bodyguard blocked the door and acted as if he was about to pull out his gun.
Jing Junzhuo lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Let's do it!"
