"I'm sorry, Xiao Ye, I didn't mean to bring up your sad memories."
Upon hearing this, Zhiyin immediately felt guilty and patted his head to comfort him.
"Do you want to come with me?"
Zhiyin suddenly laughed and said, "Being able to make human skin masks and having superb disguise skills, that's a genius!"
Such a person is entirely beneficial to her business!
Is it really possible?
Ye Wubing's eyes were full of joy and longing, but when he realized what was happening, he lowered his head and said weakly, "Forget it, I'm afraid I'll bring you danger! I think I'm being watched."
"If it weren't for you, I would have been dead long ago!"
“It’s okay, you can follow me behind the scenes and not show your face in the public eye.”
"Or you can just disguise yourself like you did before!"
The confidant estimated that the child was only about eleven or twelve years old and didn't want to leave him to fend for himself, so he added this information.
Seeing that Zhiyin's expression didn't seem fake, but rather filled with affection in her eyes, Ye Wubing's eyes instantly filled with tears.
"Thump!"
He knelt solemnly on the ground, his eyes resolute, and said, "Thank you for taking me in, sister. From now on, I belong to you! I will definitely serve you well!"
Before Zhiyin could react, she kowtowed deeply.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Why are you kowtowing? Forgive me, forgive me!!"
Zhiyin was completely bewildered by his actions, but quickly stopped him and helped him up after realizing what was happening.
Seeing that his clothes were covered in scratches, they quickly asked the men in the theater to take him to change.
"My dear granddaughter, why are you keeping him here? Is it simply out of pity?"
Old Huang watched all this quietly from the side without saying a word. Only after Ye Wubing left did he speak up out of curiosity.
"That's certainly one aspect, but most importantly, his disguise skills are absolutely amazing!"
Thinking about the haunted house that was about to open, Zhiyin was instantly delighted, feeling that her luck had really exploded since she came to this world!
There are so many geniuses in this world!
That's amazing! It feels like you can find treasures everywhere.
…
So for the next 6 or 7 days, Zhiyin was extremely busy, almost to the point of being constantly on the go.
He shuttles between different shops every day, teaching everyone all sorts of things.
The girls in the theater also rehearsed diligently and earnestly every day, over and over again.
They were all people who had read the script, so they would scrutinize the movements, expressions, and mannerisms over and over again.
They even ensured that the casting motions of each character were reproduced exactly 1:1. In short, they put in a lot of effort!
Perhaps because he was too frightened last time and lost face so badly, Young Master Xiao never appeared in front of them again.
The confidant was quite content with the leisurely pace, and everything was proceeding in full swing.
In the blink of an eye, there's only one day left until Grandpa Xiao's birthday banquet.
Zhiyin had informed Young Master Xiao in advance and brought in all the ladies and staff from the theater.
They even entered the banquet venue in advance to participate in setting up the banquet tables and various scene arrangements before the show started.
Guests will begin to arrive in the afternoon of the banquet day.
Therefore, early in the morning, the staff and the theater ladies rehearsed non-stop and helped out by making various kinds of food.
Although they were very nervous at the moment, they still carried out their tasks in an orderly manner.
Zhiyin wasn't idle either; she quickly got her employees to help her make cakes.
She had already taught the cake shop staff how to make cakes, but to avoid any mishaps at such a crucial moment, she did everything herself except for the milk tea she drank.
I asked the other women to help me out.
Knowing that Grandpa Xiao liked to eat fish and chicken, Zhiyin prepared to make an authentic grilled fish, spicy chicken, spicy crayfish, braised pork trotters, braised pork hock, and so on...
"What's going on inside? Why is it fenced off? It looks so mysterious?"
"Yes, yes, and that banquet hall too. I don't know what the eldest young master is up to, he actually built a huge platform, covered it with thick red silk cloth, and there's a circle of guards around it. He said that no one is allowed to enter before the banquet starts. It's really too strange!"
"Wow, it smells so good! Can you smell it?"
"Wow, what a unique scent! I've never smelled anything like it before!"
…
The servants passing by the mansion craned their necks, staring intently into the kitchen with green eyes, but no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't see anything.
They were so curious!
Even the young master Xiao, who was very confident in her skills, couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.
But true friends don't care about any of that.
As time slowly passed, in the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.
As guests entered the Xiao residence one after another, the entire residence instantly became lively and filled with the sounds of conversation.
Old Master Xiao sat in the main seat, followed by the current heads of the household, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao.
The eldest son, the second son, and other concubines like Yingyan.
Soon, servants filed in carrying various pre-prepared teas and pastries, and respectfully placed them on the guests' tables.
The various dishes served at Zhiyin Restaurant were also gradually brought out.
"Huh, what's this? It smells so sweet! What's this dark, ball-like thing inside? And what's this purple thing? And what's this orange thing?"
"But the colors look so vibrant, they're quite tempting."
Old Master Xiao's eyes were full of curiosity as he looked at Young Master Xiao and asked him, "Do you know that the cook Young Master Xiao hired seems to be a young girl?"
