Tofu Shop
Su Ruanruan soaked in a hot bath, washing the areas that the old scholar had touched.
I wish I could scrub the skin off my waist.
Sigh~ Having too good a figure is also a sin.
Behind the screen, Ziwu reported to her on the situation at the tofu shop these past few days.
Their ice cream was successfully made, and their iced drinks were very popular. They sold out as soon as they were put out each day.
Su Ruanruan reacted indifferently to these matters, only instructing her to manage her subordinates well and pay attention to food safety and quality.
Especially when it comes to soy products, it's essential to select high-quality soybeans that offer good value for money. It's also important to maintain existing customers and develop new ones.
We should focus on individual customers, but we should focus even more on large clients.
In the future, as long as they have sufficient funds, they will explore other fields.
"Alright, that's all I'll say for today. You're the manager here, so go for it. I still need to work on this old man a bit more. Even though we sell our iced drinks, we can't skimp on ourselves. We should keep some for our girls every day to help them cool down."
"Although your indentures are with me, I will not exploit you. When it's time to work hard, you should work diligently, and when you're free, you can relax and enjoy yourself."
She then smiled at Ziwu and said, "You, don't always have such a long face. Look how scared those maids and servants are."
Ziwu blinked; she had never seen a master and servant get along so well.
Anyway, she had never seen it before.
Which servant isn't trembling with fear before their master? If the master discovers that they're slacking off, being beaten or scolded is a minor matter; the more serious consequence could be being sold off again.
Su Ruanruan rested one hand on the edge of the bucket, the rising steam making her face flush red.
Has anyone come looking for me these past few days?
Suddenly, the image of the young man with the bright moonlight flashed into Ziwu's mind.
He came for two days, looking haggard and seemingly ill, and I haven't seen him since.
She quickly told Su Ruanruan about it.
Su Ruanruan's brow twitched slightly.
Is Mu Bai sick? I wonder how he is now.
His pitiful appearance reappeared in my mind.
"Ugh, this is so frustrating, should I go see him or not..."
Ziwu said, "This servant can see that Young Master Mu Bai is deeply in love with you. You should go and see him."
"Sigh, that's why I don't dare to look at him..."
These words left Ziwu completely bewildered.
However, since this was her master's private matter, she didn't feel comfortable asking any further questions and took her leave.
They stayed there until the afternoon.
Su Ruanruan came out of the tofu shop intending to buy some pastries.
But on the way, she saw Yao Yutong again, who looked down on everyone.
Seeing that she went to a teahouse, Su Ruanruan followed her without thinking.
On the second floor, a man wearing the uniform of Tianhong Academy saw her and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Although the man had a handsome and refined face, his eyes appeared cold and indifferent, and his smile was superficial, with the joy not reaching his eyes.
Yao Yutong sat down opposite him.
Zeng Yuan picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea, then asked, "I wonder how things are going, Junior Sister?"
Su Ruanruan listened attentively, her ears perked up.
How did things go?
She raised an eyebrow, feeling that the matter being discussed here was related to Mu Bai.
More than what this stinky man was saying, she wanted to know what Yao Yutong had said.
So she changed her position, her ears perked up high...
Yao Yutong took a sip of tea before slowly speaking, "Senior Brother Zeng, what's the rush? Our bet hasn't expired yet..."
Zeng Yuan lowered his gaze and chuckled faintly, "Mu Bai has a girl he likes by his side, so Junior Sister is probably going to lose this time..."
Yao Yutong laughed, her bright face beaming with joy, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"I can accept losing to a celestial fairy, but I know that woman. She's uncouth and ill-mannered. Mu Bai is penniless, and he and that woman are a perfect match. He's only good-looking, which is why I reluctantly accepted the bet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have approached him for a thousand taels."
"Senior Brother Zeng, don't be impatient. Just wait for him to fall at my feet!"
When Yao Yutong saw the maid carrying a food box come in, she got up to say goodbye.
"I'm sure I'll win this thousand taels of silver."
Having said that, he left with his maid.
Zeng Yuan smiled as he watched her retreating figure.
He was constantly suppressed by Mu Bai at the academy, and his resentment reached its peak. Why?
What is it about him that makes him inferior to this poor wretch? Why do the teachers only have eyes for him?
He took advantage of Yao Yutong's vanity and made a bet with her: if she could make this poor bastard Mu Bai fall in love with her and propose to her, he would honor the bet and give her a thousand taels of silver.
Of course, Yao Yutong was too proud to marry a commoner. She wanted Mu Bai to experience the feeling of being humiliated in public.
Su Ruanruan took a big gulp of tea to calm her temper.
Even though Yao Yutong didn't mention her name, she knew that the girl she was talking about was herself.
And, as she always said, how could this arrogant guy be so kind?
Did you personally make chicken soup for Mu Bai?
Ha, I don't believe you.
Is this a bet?
Fine, I'll turn you from protagonist to supporting character, and from supporting character to extra.
You won't be able to cause trouble for Mu Bai for more than a few days; you won't even survive three episodes in a TV series starring Mu Bai.
Her gaze swept over the man in the hospital uniform again.
Even from this distance, she could still smell the pervasive scent of money.
