Final victory!
Um?
Victory?
Did she win?
Did they win?
As soon as the score came out, Jian Jianan cheered. She had a good foundation in mathematics since she was young, so she calculated every score that came out. As soon as the final score came out, she knew the final result.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! That's great! Sister Xiu Li won! We won!"
Jian Jianan's cheers finally got everyone excited, and they all celebrated together with their arms around each other.
Ma Xiuli was at the center of everything, she was stunned for a long time without any other movement. Jian Jianan saw her and thought that her sister Xiuli was so happy that she was stupid.
But Ma Xiuli, in fact, is now getting what she wanted. She is just feeling satisfied after her wish is finally realized, and a little overwhelmed by happiness. Of course, Ma Xiuli will never admit to being ecstatic, only a little bit, just a little bit.
One of the judges, the oldest and most compassionate-looking, came up to the podium and gently addressed Ma Xiu Li, "My dear, now that policies have changed, chefs like us no longer have to work in state-owned restaurants for a fixed salary. Naturally, there's more motivation for innovation. We believe that the once-stagnant food market will, in time, become vibrant and active again."
"This cooking competition is also driven by the same principle. We hope to discover more promising culinary talents in Guangdong Province through this competition, attracting more people to pursue a career in this field and revitalizing it."
"We are very fortunate to see a young woman standing on this stage and winning. Your first place is of extraordinary significance to other women who want to work in this industry. There are many women younger or older than you who are confined to their kitchens all day long. They clearly have excellent cooking skills, but for various reasons, they cannot come out and showcase their culinary skills. Whenever I think of this, I always feel regretful."
"But your appearance today has given other women trapped at home a shot in the arm. They see other possibilities, which is to stand in the kitchens of famous restaurants and become a cook, or even a chef."
"This will provide more jobs, drive economic development, and create a virtuous cycle for our catering industry."
"Xiao Ma, you have made great contributions."
The kind-hearted Elderly Affairs Commission took Ma Xiuli's hand affectionately and said this to her word by word.
After she finished speaking, she left, leaving Ma Xiu Li standing alone on the stage in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Am I really as good as this old judge said?
This compliment made me feel embarrassed.
Ma Xiuli couldn't suppress her joy. She had indeed struggled and gone through many hardships to be here today and standing on the competition stage.
My father was against it from the beginning. He felt that a woman should not take a man's position as head chef. He even thought of matching her up with Lu Zude, hoping to have the best of both worlds.
Later, Lu Zude's betrayal and desperate counterattack brought considerable obstacles to Ma Xiu Li.
But she overcame all the difficulties and made it through. She is standing here and won the first place, which is the best reward for her unwillingness to relax and hard work over the years!
Today, Ma Xiuli received praise and honor that she had not experienced in the past twenty years.
After the final list of winners was announced, she was first pulled over by the judges to receive lavish praise, and then she accepted a post-match interview with the TV station. She answered many questions seriously and sincerely, which earned her the admiring gaze of the host.
Finally, there is a group photo of everyone.
Countless people wanted to rush to Ma Xiu Li, either to shake hands with her and take photos, or to have a chat with her, even if it was just to say a few words!
When taking the group photo, Jian Jianan keenly noticed that only He Jiao was on the stage, but Lu Zude was nowhere to be seen.
After taking the group photo, He Jiao refused to leave. Instead, he acted as if nothing had happened and stayed to talk to Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan.
"Old Jian," He Jiao said, his tone like an old friend meeting, and he immediately started teasing, "You're really a hidden talent. Where did you find this talented person? You didn't even tell us in advance. If you had asked, would I have come to confront you head-on?"
They were competitors before the competition, but now they are brothers?
It really makes people sigh that He Jiao's face-changing skills are really amazing.
Business is business, and one should not hit someone who smiles at them. After all, He Jiao said so, so Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping couldn't say anything more.
The three of them stood together, talking and laughing, discussing the future business of their respective restaurants. To those who didn't know, they would have thought they were three good friends chatting.
Jian Jianan watched intently, wanting to deeply imprint this scene and the expressions of his parents' words in his heart.
After all, she will be the one who inherits the family business in the future, and she will definitely meet many people like He Jiao. It will be a good idea to learn how to deal with such people now!
However, where is Lu Zude, who has always been inseparable from He Jiao, now?
Judging from the way He Jiao kept looking around, he didn't seem to know either.
He Jiao's assistant came up and whispered something in his ear. He Jiao nodded, said goodbye to Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping, and left in a hurry.
Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing looked at each other, and these two extremely adventurous children immediately followed, wanting to find out where He Jiao had gone, and that Lu Zude, did he hide from everyone because he felt ashamed to face the people of Jiangdong after his failure?
Then when she sees Lu Zude later, she will definitely laugh at him.
Following He Jiao, they were able to find Lu Zude. Lu Zude quietly appeared behind He Jiao, and then pulled him to a corner where no one was. Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing squatted in the corner, listening to what the two men had to say.
As soon as He Jiao saw Lu Zude, he complained, "Where have you been? I couldn't find you no matter how hard I looked. I just met with a few big guys in the industry, all well-known figures in the catering industry. I wanted to introduce you to them, but they couldn't find you. What a great opportunity, and you just missed it."
Lu Zude felt embarrassed, his face flushed red. "I was going somewhere else, so I didn't see it. Besides, it wouldn't look good if I went out with this ranking."
It would have been better if he hadn't listened. After hearing this, He Jiao became even angrier. He poked Lu Zude's collar with his finger and said fiercely.
"I haven't even talked about you yet. Look at yourself. Didn't you say that with that recipe book, you'd be invincible? I heard you talk so much nonsense, I thought it was true, but in the end you can't even beat a little girl. I think you're just making up lies to deceive me. I've wasted all my time, energy, and money on you. You're a total loser."
In the end, He Jiao simply started cursing at Lu Zude, "Fuck you, you %&*..."
Lu Zude's face was full of humiliation, but since the sponsor had said so, he couldn't refute it.
Jian Jianan whispered to Shan Jiqing, "When Lu Zude was at Jinhuiju, he only met civilized people. Even though my parents were his superiors, they wouldn't talk to him so harshly. They always negotiated things through. But Lu Zude just doesn't know how to appreciate his good fortune. He actually likes He Jiao's style!"
Jian Jianan hadn't said another word yet. Could this guy be a masochist?
Lu Zude listened to He Jiao's scolding with an embarrassed face. He continued to beg for mercy in a low voice, "I know, I know. Mr. He, you have been very kind to me and invested a lot in me. If it weren't for you, I would definitely not be able to achieve such good results today. Now I have failed your trust, and I feel very sorry."
"Therefore, I plan to return to Shenzhen as soon as possible to hand over my things and work. This way, I can leave Jinhuiju and go to Longfeng Pavilion as soon as possible and work for you with peace of mind, right?"
After hearing this, He Jiao finally felt relieved. Although Lu Zude lost the game, he still had a most important use. The recipe book was still in his hands. This person was still useful. Forget it, just let him go for now.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zude didn't leave. He stood in front of He Jiao with an embarrassed look on his face, which made He Jiao wonder, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Didn't you just say that you would go back as soon as possible to handle the formalities so that you can come here to serve me? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
He Jiao looked at Lu Zude for a while before he reacted, and said with a half-smile, "Oh, you are not waiting for me to get the money?"
Lu Zude rubbed his hands together in his arms, with a smile on his face: "Well, well, Boss He, didn't you say that as long as I can come, you will give me this amount? You also said that as long as I get a place, you will give me a bonus. Well, I didn't bring any money today, and I don't have money to buy a ticket if I want to take a bus back later..."
He Jiao looked Lu Zude up and down, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"You want money, right? You're saying all this just to get money, right?"
Lu Zude felt humiliated, but he had to bow his head under someone else's eaves. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, at least I participated in the competition and won a title. Boss He, you can't go back on your word when you promised to pay me!"
Lu Zude did not bring much money with him for this final, not to mention that he had to pay for all the ingredients needed for the competition himself. He Jiao said that they would be a family in the future, so there was no need to divide them so clearly, so he asked Lu Zude to pay the money first and then pay him back when they returned to Longfeng Pavilion.
The money Lu Zude has on him now is not as much as Jian Jianan's pocket money. He can't even afford a train ticket from Guangzhou to Shenzhen. So he comes to He Jiao to ask for money.
He Jiao looked at Lü Zude, who looked like he was groveling and groveling just for money, and couldn't help but laugh. "Hey, you, why are you still thinking about money? You also said you won a title in the competition, but look at what title you have won now? You're not even as good as Ma Xiuli, a woman who has been doing odd jobs for more than ten years, and you still have the nerve to ask me for money?"
"I'm telling you, no way! I won't give you a penny!"
He Jiao was so angry that his saliva almost flew onto Lu Zude's face, which made Jian Jianan feel sick.
Jian Jianan frowned again when he saw this. This person is too unhygienic!
He Jiao was about to leave when Lu Zude hurriedly put his hand up to stop him. "Hey, hey, hey, hey, Boss He, why are you leaving? Didn't we agree to pay me? How can I go back when you haven't paid me yet? Hey, you can't leave, you can't leave!"
He Jiao opened his hand and said, "Don't come near me! You're bothering me!"
Lu Zude couldn't believe it: "We clearly agreed on this before, Boss He, you can't go back on your word!"
He Jiao sneered: "Did you agree? Who agreed with you? Do you have any evidence? If you do, just bring it out and I'll give it to you right then and there!"
Lu Zude was stunned. When He Jiao came to poach his girlfriend, he had only made big promises verbally. The two of them had not written it down in black and white in the contract. Therefore, if Lu Zude was asked to produce evidence now, he would definitely not be able to do so!
This is a trick played by someone!
Lu Zude stood there blankly, stunned by this dangerous society.
What has he gained since he betrayed Jin Huiju and the Ma family?
Was it the shameful and mocking looks from the crowd, was it because he wanted to earn his peak salary just for this competition, or was it He Jiao's ugly face of going back on his word and turning his back on his friends?
Lu Zude seemed to have suddenly aged dozens of years, and his waist suddenly became hunched. He couldn't believe that he had been busy for so long, smiling every day, but in the end he got these things?
He felt sad for himself for a while, but soon he pulled himself together and thought with gritted teeth.
It is impossible to turn back, but it doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t matter. As long as he still has value, he will not be really abandoned by He Jiao. He Jiao is just angry for a while now, and he will still use him after he calms down!
Thinking of the cookbook he had "borrowed" from Ma Zhiping's house and had carefully hidden away until now, Lu Zude felt much more at ease and no longer felt as confused as he had just been.
Watching He Jiao and Lu Zude leave one after another, Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing, who were eavesdropping in the corner, also stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing the smile on his friend's face, he looked so happy. Shan Jiqing couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you so happy about, Nan Nan? I always feel that these two people have not been punished so far. It's not right!"
Jian Jianan was mysterious: "No, no, no, they won't have a good ending. Let's wait and see. It's not the end yet. I want to see who will have the last laugh!"
After saying this, Jian Jianan didn't say anything else. No matter how Shan Jiqing asked her, she kept silent and just said mysteriously: "You will know later."
Jian Jianan always felt that it was fun to tease Shan Jiqing. Seeing this usually quiet person suddenly become impatient and lively because he wanted to know something, Jian Jianan felt a sense of accomplishment.
Shan Jiqing turned his head away silently. What should he do since his friends always liked to tease him?
Shan Jiqing waited until the evening. After the cooking competition ended, it did not disperse immediately. The contestants and judges gathered together to have a meal.
At the dinner, everyone was toasting and chatting, it was very lively, and more people were praising Ma Xiu Li.
"Xiao Li, you're amazing, young man. You're the next generation to be feared. I thought you were going to enter the competition with that ancestral recipe, but it turns out you're really capable and proud. You truly deserve the championship!"
When they were almost done eating, Jian Jianan walked over to Ma Xiuli and reminded her softly, "Sister Xiuli, you haven't told me the important news of today!"
Ma Xiuli looked as if she had suddenly understood something, and her brain, which had been heated up by everyone's praise, finally calmed down.
She stood up, holding her wine glass high, and said to the crowd gathered around, "Everyone, I have an important announcement to make. Since everyone is here, I'll just say it now."
Everyone quieted down and listened to what Ma Xiuli was going to announce.
"I've discussed this with my father. A large part of the reason for this farce revolves around the ancestral recipe in our Ma family's hands. Therefore, I have decided, in the name of our Ma family, to hand this recipe over to the Guangdong Food Association. After it is compiled, it will be published in a book for everyone to see."
What? ? ? ! ! !
This can be said to have caused a huge uproar.
Some people murmured in disbelief, "Recipe? What recipe? Could it be the famous Ma family recipe book passed down from generation to generation?"
Someone repeated Ma Xiu Li's words, "Publish it in a book? Does that mean everyone can see it? Could it be that the Ma family has changed their ways so much that they don't even care about this ancestral secret anymore? They're willing to show it to everyone so generously?"
Others questioned Ma Xiu Li's hypocritical attitude: "Are they putting us all on the fire? As chefs, we all have a few specialties. Isn't her donation of her family recipes just to gain a good reputation? In the end, are we all going to have to give away our heirlooms? What a fame-seeking person!"
Ma Xiuli waited until the doubts and arguments in the crowd gradually subsided before she continued, "Our Ma family is unfortunate to have produced a scoundrel like Lu Zude. I'm sure everyone knows this. I'm sorry to have laughed at the farce on the field today."
"My father founded the Ma Clan, and it can be said that Senior Brother Lü Zude was raised by my father, Ma Zhiping. However, he is ungrateful and instead wants to bring a huge blow to the Ma Clan, hurting everyone connected to them."
"Early when I came here to compete, I discussed it with my father. We decided that if I won and got this prize, I wouldn't hide it and continue to treat it as some kind of heirloom that no one could see."
"On the contrary, I believe this recipe, which embodies the wisdom of countless ancestors and the refinements of so many generations of our ancestors, doesn't belong just to me, Ma Xiu Li, but to everyone who is interested in food and has extremely high aspirations in this area."
"So, after today's victory, I had a good discussion with my father. With the support of the Guangdong Provincial Association, we are going to bring it out so that everyone can watch it and improve together!"
Ma Xiuli's family was poor when she was a child, otherwise she would not have followed her father to work as a cook. Because her family was poor and there was not much food, she did not get enough nutrition. Now she is in her twenties and is still only about 1.6 meters tall.
But after she finished speaking these powerful words, her short stature did not prevent others from feeling so tall and majestic. The warm light cast by the surrounding lamps even surrounded her with a layer of golden light.
At this moment, people saw an extremely majestic figure in Ma Xiu Li. What they saw was not a champion who had just won the first Guangdong Provincial Cooking Competition, but the golden God of Wealth.
nonsense!
Once Ma Xiuli's family's ancestral recipes are brought out, how many chefs and restaurants will benefit from it? Who else could it be but the God of Wealth?
The Guangdong people, who are more respectful of traditional customs, admired Ma Xiu Li's decision and had already made up their minds that they would definitely say something good about Ma Xiu Li during this year's worship of the gods!
Everyone had different expressions and different thoughts in their minds, but they all pretended to praise Ma Xiu Li lavishly.
"Xiao Ma, you are indeed a hero. This kind of courage is something that none of us can learn!"
"Be generous! That's what we call generous! Let's stop hiding our secrets, guys. Why don't we take this as an opportunity? We can all form a team and share our dishes. You can even organize competitions regularly so we can learn from each other!"
Many people came over enthusiastically and surrounded Ma Xiuli. Some praised her, some did not believe her, and some wanted to find out what Ma Xiuli was really thinking.
Jian Jianan was originally standing next to Ma Xiu Li, but was suddenly pushed out by the crowd. However, she was not angry, but still stood in the distance with her arms folded and watched with a smile.
Although many people are now praising Ma Xiuli's magnificent act, only Jian Jianan knows that her sister Xiuli has never thought of doing these things to gain fame and reputation. She is a truly selfless person and does not have any ulterior motives as others have guessed.
When Jian Jianan saw Ma Xiuli surrounded by a lot of people, he tactfully did not go up to disturb her, but turned around and looked at his parents.
Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping benefited from Ma Xiuli's influence, and now many people have gathered around them. However, unlike those who want to share a piece of the pie, Jian Jianan simply calls these people gathered around his parents partners.
With Ma Xiu Li's righteous act in the past and her status as a champion, is it possible that Jin Huiju's plan to open chain stores across the province will not work?
Those surrounding my parents are all well-known figures in the catering industry, and they are even food tycoons who can decide the life and death of a small store with just one word. Looking at the appreciative expressions on their faces, with their recommendations, there is no need to worry about the development of Jinhuiju!
Jian Jianan thought about it and decided that this was called killing two birds with one stone. When Ma Xiuli made the decision to make the ancestral recipe public, almost everyone voted against it.
No one agreed with her decision to make her secret weapon public.
Su Qinxuan also expressed his rare objection. "I'm not denying your selfless ideas and good qualities. What I mean is that I've already hired you as the head chef for Jinhuiju, so I will definitely consider the interests of Jinhuiju first. Your family's ancestral recipes contain the preparation methods and food ingredients of dozens or even hundreds of famous dishes. No matter the era, they are extremely valuable. Once developed, they can even become Jinhuiju's signature dishes to attract people to consume, which has huge economic value."
Su Qinxuan said this to Ma Xiuli as a boss. Of course, she is indeed the boss of Jinhuiju, and Ma Xiuli also has to consider her opinion.
"Of course, the ancestral recipe is the private property of your Ma family. The final decision on whether to publish it is still up to you. I respect your opinion."
Finally, Su Qinxuan said this in a gentle tone.
Originally, after hearing what Su Qinxuan said, Ma Xiuli was also reflecting on whether she was too naive to disregard the efforts of so many people and to donate this recipe of great value just for the vague dream in her heart.
However, in the end, Jian Jianan firmly supported her sister Xiu Li's actions.
"I think this is a good decision!" Jian Jianan sat on the chair and shook his feet, but said something completely different from everyone else.
"Sister Xiu Li secretly told me that although this recipe is so famous and renowned, most of it contains long-lost bitter herbs. This means that many of the ingredients are now unavailable, and the number of people who can be said to have completely restored it can be counted on one hand. From this perspective, it actually has little economic value, but the business and fame it contains are boundless potential."
"So, I think that after Sister Xiu Li won the award, we can take advantage of the situation and announce this matter during a time when many people are present. This will gain a good reputation and let more people know about our Jin Hui Ju!"
It was these words, from various angles, that not only convinced the people in Jinhuiju who had originally held opposing opinions, but also made Ma Xiuli more determined to stick to her previous decision.
Fortunately, Jian Jianan's words were correct, and Ma Xiuli's move indeed achieved a win-win effect. It not only enhanced Jinhuiju's reputation, but also fulfilled her long-cherished wish. It was a perfect deal, killing two birds with one stone.
Just when Jian Jianan was feeling excited and looking forward to the future development of Jinhuiju, Shan Jiqing came out from somewhere in the crowd, pushed Jian Jianan's shoulder and motioned her to follow him.
Jian Jianan knew that Shan Jiqing would never do anything without a purpose, so he followed him without worry.
Shan Jiqing took Jian Jianan around a few corners with ease and finally arrived at a corner of a wall.
Jian Jianan's eyes lit up, she was familiar with this scene, who were they trying to eavesdrop on?
After a burst of splashing water, two men came out of the toilet, talking as they walked.
Jian Jianan immediately stared at Shan Jiqing without turning around, "Hey, you brought me to the men's restroom!"
Shan Jiqing silently turned his head away, pretending not to notice Jian Jianan's little action.
"Hey, Mr. He, are we just going back like this? Don't say goodbye to those old people?" The voice was rather unfamiliar, a voice that Jian Jianan had never heard before.
"No, no, why are you going to say goodbye? Can't you see we have all become clowns on the big stage? Why are you still going there? Aren't you embarrassing yourself?" Jian Jianan was very familiar with this voice. It was He Jiao, the owner of Longfeng Pavilion.
The strange boy in the photo before should be his assistant. He Jiao was walking very fast in front, and the assistant was running behind to catch up.
In order to get first-hand information, Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing naturally did not want to fall behind, and carefully followed behind them, ensuring that they were at a distance where they could hear the conversation but not be discovered by the two men.
The assistant kept persuading He Jiao from behind, "Boss, Boss, let's go back. Otherwise, if we offend those big guys, it will be difficult for our Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion to continue!"
He Jiao must have taken his assistant's words to heart. He calmed down and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, go back. Let's go back and talk for a few minutes before we leave! I have to hurry back to take care of the new store!"
After they walked a distance, the assistant suddenly seemed to think of something and reminded him, "Oh, boss, that guy Lü Zude you spent a lot of money to recruit just borrowed money from me to go back to Shenzhen. Before he left, Lü Zude asked me when I could arrange a meeting with him after I got back. Should we look for him later?"
He Jiao's emotions, which had just recovered, collapsed again in an instant. He roared, "Bullshit, bullshit! He still thinks we should go back to find him? Don't even think about it!"
He Jiao snorted coldly, "Humph, I originally went to so much trouble to win him over just because he possessed that ancestral recipe book. But now it seems he's completely worthless. Ma Xiuli has already made the recipe public, so what value does he have? Let's leave him alone for a few days, then find someone to contact him and ask for the skills he's learned from his years of experience in Majiawan, and whether he knows any secrets of Jinhuiju. Once we've squeezed out all the value he has left, we'll fire him and throw him away!"
He Jiao's words were cold and ruthless, but the assistant didn't seem surprised at all. It seemed that similar conversations might have happened many times before.
"Okay, okay, yes, yes, I'll do it right away. Boss, you're truly wise and capable of making the best use of everything. I admire you!"
The two of them walked away after talking.
When Jian Jianan returned to the venue, she was still in a daze about what they had just said. She always had a premonition that she might never see Lu Zude again in her life, nor would she hear any news about him again.
As the prophecy came true, Jinhuiju grew bigger and bigger, and Majiawan became more and more famous, but the former eldest brother Lu Zude disappeared in the crowd and was never seen again.
After receiving the good news, Jian Jiabei rushed to Guangzhou to meet up with everyone. What he saw was his sister carrying a small schoolbag and looking very excited about going on a spring outing.
Jian Jiabei did not come to Guangzhou for the preliminary and final rounds of the cooking competition because he signed up for a summer camp and spent his time playing basketball, football and other sports with countless friends.
But he was also concerned about the cooking competition, so he rushed over as soon as the summer camp ended.
Jian Jiabei had already learned about their victory while on the road. As soon as he met his family, he expressed his congratulations, especially to Ma Xiuli. She had no idea how many people had congratulated her these days, but every time she received sincere congratulations, she would still express her gratitude with sincerity.
Jian Jiabei finally had some time to spend with his sister. Seeing his sister coming to greet him with a small schoolbag on her back, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where are you going? Take me with you. I've only been to Guangzhou a few times. Just be my little tour guide and take me out to play!"
Jian Jianan agreed immediately: "Okay, okay, brother, if you mind if I follow you, I have already made plans for where to go for fun in the next few days, just follow me!"
Jian Jiabei was very curious when he heard it, "Then where are you going?"
There are so many fun places in Guangzhou, such as Shangxiajiu and Dongshankou. There are all kinds of snack shops and clothing stores everywhere. Jian Jiabei has already planned a leisurely life of going wherever he wants, having a full meal and then going to the store to buy some stylish and handsome clothes.
Unexpectedly, he heard his sister say, "We'll go to the Guangzhou Photo Factory first, then the soap factory the next day, and then..."
"Wait, wait, where are you going?" Jian Jiabei couldn't believe his ears and quickly interrupted his sister.
Jian Jianan raised his head, looking puzzled: "Photo studio, what's wrong, brother, didn't you hear clearly just now?"
"Why are you going to the photo studio?" Jian Jiabei was about to collapse. He came out to have fun, not to train.
Jian Jianan corrected him, "It's not a photo studio, it's a photo factory. These two places are very different."
Jian Jianan explained to his brother, "I've checked in the newspaper. The Guangzhou Photo Factory suffered losses every year in the past few years, but since the new director took over, the company has reversed its disadvantages and achieved an annual sales growth rate of 7%."
As soon as Jian Jianan saw the news in the newspaper, she became very interested and wanted to go to the Guangzhou Photo Factory to find out what was going on. Now that she finally found the opportunity, she had to go.
Jian Jiabei held his head and begged for mercy, slowly backing away, muttering to himself: "Well, well, then I won't go. You can go alone, and I won't follow you. See you later." After that, he turned around and ran away.
Jian Jianan was left there looking at the map and looked up in surprise: "Hey, where is my brother? Where did he go?" How could my brother who was so old just here suddenly disappear?
Shan Jiqing, who had been watching everything happen beside her, stepped forward and said with a faint smile, "He has something urgent to do and can't go with us. I'll accompany you."
Jian Jianan answered happily: "Okay, okay, let's go together."
Xiaoqing is still reliable. My brother is so unreliable!
