Jia Yuemei felt unsure as Shen Xiangnan stared at her, so she quickly took out a small mirror to see if her lipstick was smudged or her eyebrows were crooked.

Shen Xiangnan retracted his gaze and said, "It's okay, let's go."

"Where are we going?"

Jia Yuemei put away the mirror and followed him, chattering, "You have to let me know what you want me to do. I won't do it if the salary is low."

Shen Xiangnan didn't respond and led Jia Yuemei into a side street not far away.

The two soon stopped in front of a steamed bun shop called "Good Taste".

The palm-sized shop was deserted and there was not a single buyer to be seen. Jia Yuemei felt disappointed for a long time.

How much money can such a small shop make? "Chef Shen, you're here, come in and sit down."

The bun shop owner smiled and invited the couple in.

Although the bun shop is small, there are four small square tables and stools inside for customers to have porridge, soy milk, etc.

"Come in."

Jia Yuemei was extremely unhappy, but seeing Shen Xiangnan walking into the shop, she could only follow him in reluctantly.

After entering, Jia Yuemei looked around the environment and became more and more disgusted.

She doesn't want to work in such a shabby place.

The boss on the side was smiling and introducing the shop to Shen Xiangnan: "You have seen the situation of the shop. The business is OK. It is enough to make a living."

Shen Xiangnan nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as we agreed before."

Jia Yuemei got a little angry when she heard this, "I don't want this!"

The boss looked at the two of them and smiled awkwardly, "How about you guys discuss it again?"

When they got outside the shop, Jia Yuemei immediately stamped her feet in dissatisfaction, "I don't want to work here. What can I do in such a small place?"

Shen Xiangnan looked at her and said, "I didn't ask you to work here. Boss Qiu is going back to his hometown and wants to transfer the bun shop. I took over the shop. From now on, you will be the boss lady of this shop."

Jia Yuemei was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

Shen Xiangnan took a breath and said, "Yuemei, I promised you that I would let you be the boss's wife, and now I have fulfilled my promise. From now on, you just run this shop well and we can live a peaceful life, okay?"

Jia Yuemei looked back at the bun shop, then at Shen Xiangnan, and the expression on her face gradually changed from shock to surprise.

After signing the agreement and getting the money, Boss Qiu gave the keys to Jia Yuemei and showed her around the shop.

Because he was going back to his hometown, all the things in the shop were left behind, and Jia Yuemei could continue her business directly.

After the handover, Boss Qiu took his personal belongings and left.

Jia Yuemei held the key and looked at the small steamed bun shop. There was no more disgust in her eyes, instead she was filled with joy.

But she was so happy that her eyes slowly turned red again.

"Xiangnan, I will never make trouble with you again. I will listen to whatever you say. I will definitely run the shop well."

Jia Yuemei cried so hard that her makeup was smudged, but Shen Xiangnan didn't think she looked ugly.

He seemed to understand the responsibilities and duties that a man should have.

That is to rely on his own ability to let his wife live a good life.

…

"Look, Ke'an, there's a pretty girl over there."

Hearing his companions' teasing, Liang Ke'an subconsciously looked towards the opposite station. When he saw the woman in a black floral dress, he was stunned.

"Red plum."

Shen Hongmei was thinking about something when she suddenly heard someone calling her. Her heart skipped a beat.

When she turned around and saw that it was Liang Ke'an, her heart suddenly fell back to where it was.

Shen Hongmei nodded politely to Liang Ke'an, looking indifferent as if she didn't want to say more.

Liang Ke'an seemed not to notice her alienation and continued to talk to her, "How have you been recently?"

"fine."

Liang Ke'an looked at her carefully and found that she was much more beautiful than before, and his heart was beating fast.

"You, do you have time?"

Seeing Shen Hongmei's surprise, Liang Ke'an said, "Xi Ling caused you trouble before. I feel really bad. I want to treat you to a meal."

"No."

Just as the bus was pulling into the station, Shen Hongmei turned around and got on the bus after refusing.

"Ke'an, when did you meet such a beautiful girl? I never heard you mention her. That's not nice of you."

Listening to his companions' jokes, Liang Ke'an looked at the bus going away, "She was my previous blind date."

"Hiss, you don't even like such a good partner, what kind of person do you want?"

Faced with the envy and confusion of his companions, Liang Ke'an couldn't help but vaguely mention Shen Hongmei's past.

His companion didn't take it seriously. "It's a different era now, and you still care about this. If it were not for this matter, you wouldn't be eligible for this condition."

Liang Ke'an has been looking for a partner for some time, but the results are always unsatisfactory.

Either her job is not as good as Shen Hongmei's, or she looks down on his family.

All in all, Shen Hongmei is a good candidate.

He is good-looking, earns well, and can help his sister find a job.

Thinking about it, Liang Ke'an's mind became active again.

…

After returning to the factory and finishing her work, Shen Hongmei went to Shen Mingzhu's office.

"Boss Shen, I've made up my mind."

Shen Mingzhu raised her head with interest, "Tell me about it."

Shen Hongmei pursed her lips and said, "Brother Zhao and I are not suitable for each other."

"Before, Zhou Hui misunderstood me and Brother Zhao because of the earrings. If I really had something with Brother Zhao, what would Zhou Hui think? She would definitely think that Brother Zhao and I had been hooking up for a long time."

Shen Mingzhu closed the pen cap, crossed her arms and stared at Shen Hongmei for a long time before she spoke: "Is the opinion of an irrelevant person more important than your own happiness?"

Shen Hongmei hesitated: "Even if Zhou Hui hadn't happened, Brother Zhao and I wouldn't be suitable. There's too big a gap between us."

Shen Mingzhu nodded, "Okay, I understand, you can go back to work."

"Then, Brother Zhao..."

"I will reject Brother Zhao for you. The reason is that he is too old."

Shen Hongmei quickly said, "I don't think so."

"So what are your true thoughts? Putting aside Brother Zhao's external conditions, what do you think of him as a person? Is there anything you admire about him, his appearance, his character, his principles?"

Shen Hongmei bit her lip. "Brother Zhao is a good man, very loyal, and not arrogant. When I was still a junior employee, he didn't look down on me and always smiled at me."

Shen Mingzhu looked at her and said, "Let me tell you what I think. I'm optimistic about you and Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao is a really good person. He has money but he doesn't spend it on wine and women. If you really get together with Brother Zhao, our two families will be even closer in the future."

"When Brother Zhao wanted to marry us, I didn't agree because I didn't like Zhou Hui. But if the woman next to Brother Zhao was you, I would definitely agree."

"As for the gap you mentioned, I don't think it's a problem. You're still young now. When you reach Brother Zhao's age, you may not be much worse than him."

"Hongmei, ask yourself, if you miss Brother Zhao, will you really not regret it?" (End of this chapter)
