Chapter 20 Dependence
The driver dropped them off at the gate of the community. It took about forty minutes to drive from the hotel to the gate of the community. Wen Shuqiao scanned her QR code and was about to pay.
Then I heard the driver say, "By the way, have I seen you somewhere before? You look familiar to me."
Wen Shuqiao raised her head and glanced at the driver. She tried hard to think about it, but couldn't remember anything.
The driver looked at her carefully twice, then suddenly realized and said, "Hey, are you the boss who sells braised dishes?"
Wen Shuqiao blinked: "Have you ever been here to buy it?"
The driver said enthusiastically: "No wonder! I have been wondering if I have seen you somewhere along the way! I work nearby and occasionally drive out to earn a little extra money."
This was a bit unexpected. Xiao Miao said, "My colleague and I were going to buy some of your stewed food today, but you weren't there. Are you not selling it?"
Wen Shuqiao couldn't remember whether he had seen her before, but after hearing what she said, he said, "I'm selling it, but I have something to do today, so I'll go tomorrow."
Xiao Miao said: "Great, can I reserve one first?"
"Of course." Wen Shuqiao smiled and said, "What time will you come to pick it up?"
Xiao Miao told her a time and Wen Shuqiao nodded. She thought it was quite amazing. She didn't expect that she could meet customers while hitchhiking.
Xiao Miao glanced at Cancan who was sleeping in her arms and asked casually, "Is this your child? He's already this big."
Wen Shuqiao paid the bill, and after knowing that it was a customer, she relaxed a lot: "It's my little nephew."
Xiao Miao said, "How cute."
Wen Shuqiao just smiled, and Xiao Miao said, "Don't get out of the car yet, I'll go down and help you hold it first."
Cancan had fallen asleep, and it was indeed inconvenient for her to get off the car while holding a child, but it was just a little troublesome. However, after Xiaomiao said that, she got out of the car swiftly and trotted around to her side.
She was so enthusiastic that Wen Shuqiao was embarrassed to refuse, so she said softly: "Sorry to bother you, my child is a little heavy."
Xiao Miao smiled and said, "It's not heavy. What's his name?"
"Cancan." Wen Shuqiao replied after getting out of the car.
Xiao Miao said, "Boss, add me on WeChat. If my colleagues want braised dishes, they can order from you."
Wen Shuqiao was a little surprised. She always felt that this lady was a little too enthusiastic, but when she saw her smiling face, she felt relieved: "Okay."
She took Cancan and handed over her phone: "Please enter your WeChat."
After Xiao Miao answered the call, she quickly entered the information. After adding it, she smiled and said, "I'll ask my colleagues if they need it. If they do, I'll send you a message. Can you leave some more tomorrow?"
Wen Shuqiao agreed and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. She asked, "Tomorrow is the weekend, do you have to go to work too?"
Xiao Miao was stunned for a moment and almost forgot about this!
However, the ability to adapt to changing situations that she had learned from being with Shen Jiazhou had already reached perfection. She sighed softly, "If the boss asks you to work overtime, you have to work overtime, right?"
Yes, Wen Shuqiao lived such a life in his previous life.
Xiao Miao added WeChat and she said, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving now. I have to go back to work tomorrow."
Wen Shuqiao said goodbye to her and watched her get into the car and leave before he carried Cancan into the community.
At the welcoming banquet, Lin Yan looked at Shen Jiazhou who was greeting everyone and whispered in his ear: "Xiao Miao will be here soon."
Shen Jiazhou hummed, then politely said to the person who came up to talk to him, "Sorry, I'm leaving first."
Father Su and Qu Lan were also in the group chatting. When they heard Shen Jiazhou was about to leave, they tried to persuade him to leave: "Boss Shen, you finally relax now. Why don't you leave later?"
Shen Jiazhou fixed his eyes on the Su family couple. He said, "I'll bother you next time about work."
Knowing that the next time he mentioned was just a polite remark, Father Su could only smile and say, “Okay, next time I’ll prepare the best tea and wait for Mr. Shen to come.”
Shen Jiazhou nodded slightly and then walked towards the door.
As soon as they came out, they saw Xiao Miao parked the car. After the three of them got in the car, Xiao Miao reported in a serious tone: "Mr. Shen, I held the child, and he does look a lot like Mr. Shen."
She glanced at her boss again: "He has some similarities with you in his features, and his name is also Cancan. He is 80% likely to be the young master we are looking for."
"She will bring Cancan with her to set up a stall tomorrow..."
Xiao Miao repeated their conversation to Shen Jiazhou in detail. After she finished, she looked at Shen Jiazhou.
Shen Jiazhou did not speak, and Xiao Miao's eyes fell on Lin Yan again.
Lin Yan shrugged slightly, indicating that he had no idea what Shen Jiazhou was thinking at the moment.
Shen Jiazhou said: "You go back first."
Xiao Miao was originally called over to see someone off, and she responded, "Okay, Mr. Shen, I'll leave first then."
But just as he opened the door, he turned around and asked, “Boss Shen, are you going to see the young master tomorrow?”
Xiao Miao waited for a while, but Shen Jiazhou didn't say anything. Xiao Miao guessed that Shen Jiazhou didn't know either. As soon as she stepped out, she heard her boss say, "Go, I'll triple your salary for tonight and tomorrow."
Lin Yan: ???
Xiaomiao: !!!!!!
She loves to work overtime!!!

The next day at noon.
After one night, the temperature in City A dropped a lot. The sky was cloudy today, and Cancan also put on a down jacket.
Although today is Saturday, as the customer said last night, there are still many people working overtime, and Wen Shuqiao's braised food stall is still selling well, but most of them are here for Cancan.
Maybe after the crowd attacks in the past few days, Cancan has become desensitized. At least he won't hold on to Wen Shuqiao's legs tightly when he sees people coming.
It’s just that Sister Qin and my younger sister didn’t come today. Wen Shuqiao asked about it on WeChat and was told that my younger sister’s temperature had gone down, but she still had a fever, so she was taken to get an IV drip today.
Children are particularly prone to illness when the temperature drops during the season change, and it is very annoying when they are sick. Wen Shuqiao had already seen this when Cancan was sick last time.
Fortunately, Cancan’s physical condition has improved now, and everything will be fine as long as he dresses warmly.
Soon the food she prepared was almost sold out, and Xiao Miao also came at this time wearing high heels.
She smiled and said, "Boss Wen, the meeting delayed me for a while. Are you ready?"
Wen Shuqiao also smiled at her and said, to be honest, she thought Miss Miao would not come.
She handed Xiao Miao what she had prepared in the morning: "It's delicious when put into noodles or heated up and served with rice. There's a box of vegetarian dishes in it for free. I hope you like it."
Xiao Miao was surprised and said, "Thank you."
She paid the money quickly and looked at Cancan again: "Cancan, good afternoon, do you remember Auntie?"
Cancan stared at her face for a while, and finally nodded shyly.
Xiao Miao smiled and said, "How nice."
Cancan embarrassedly hid behind Wen Shuqiao again, tilted her head and looked at Xiao Miao with her eyes exposed.
Wen Shuqiao said: "He is a little shy. He will feel embarrassed when there are many people around or when others praise him."
Xiao Miao said, "But the weather is getting colder and colder, and you'll be setting up the stall for a long time. If you bring Cancan here later, you can send him to the first floor of our company. There's heating inside, and I can talk to the front desk then."
"Thank you, you are so kind." Wen Shuqiao said, "But I probably won't set up a stall when the weather gets colder."
Setting up a stall is just a transition. When the weather gets colder, braised dishes won’t be that easy to sell. It would be better to find a part-time job at home.
Wen Shuqiao had done a lot of part-time jobs in her previous life, and the original owner left some money. She had low material desires, and Cancan was easy to support. In addition, the Tingguang Studio also invited Cancan to shoot a children's fashion cover and would give her some money, which was completely enough.
Xiao Miao nodded: "If you need any help, please feel free to ask. You're welcome."
Wen Shuqiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely not be polite to you."
Xiao Miao and Cancan waved their hands: "Cancan, bye."
Cancan also moved her hands slightly and whispered, "Auntie, bye."
Xiao Miao then left.
Wen Shuqiao packed up his things quickly, then squatted down and touched Cancan's head: "It's home, baby."
Cancan picked up his small stool very actively: "Great!"
Then he said, "Aunt, can Cancan drink sweet strawberry milk today?"
"Okay, I'll take you to the supermarket this afternoon, and we'll buy a little more, okay?"
Cancan loves shopping in supermarkets. He nodded: "Okay! Cancan loves shopping in supermarkets!"
He walked obediently beside Wen Shuqiao, carrying a stool, and kept talking happily.
Across the street, a small black car had been parked there since half past eleven.
Shen Jiazhou was the only one in the car. He did nothing this afternoon. He just quietly watched Cancan sitting or standing, entertaining himself. Sometimes he hugged Wen Shuqiao's legs, not knowing what he was thinking.
But all phenomena indicate that Cancan seems to be very dependent on this aunt.
This is a bit troublesome.
