Seeing that Yuan Tiantian looked serious and not like she was joking, Yu Yongqing had no choice but to go along with it. Actually, he was planning to buy these because in a few days, his old man would be having his sixtieth birthday. He wanted to bring the two food items from Sweetie's Food Store, which had excellent dietary - therapy effects, for them to taste.
"Okay, 100 of each. Should I pay a deposit?"
Yu Yongqing wanted to pay a deposit, but Yuan Tiantian refused.
"Come on, am I still afraid that President Yu will run away?"
Yuan Tiantian joked with a smile. Yu Yongqing didn't say anything more. Finally, after Shen Qingyun complimented Yuan Tiantian's cooking skills, the two of them left. Before leaving, Yu Yongqing also greeted Yun Feng. The latter nodded politely at him. After Yun Feng tasted the food from Sweetie's Food Store, he had become somewhat addicted. You know, after he got sick and had to take medicine every day, it seemed that all he could taste in his mouth was bitterness. But not at Sweetie's Food Store! He could fully taste the flavor of the food, and it was extremely delicious.
As Yun Feng ate, his eyes gradually turned red, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. However, a decision had been made in his heart. He planned to stay in this area for a while longer and only return to City D for his next chemotherapy session. Let him enjoy himself for a while. Since his time in life was running out, he might as well enjoy it to the fullest.
After that, several more groups of people came. Some were members of passing motorcades, while others were regular customers. Anyway, the flow of people continued intermittently until nearly 10 p.m. There were quite a few customers tonight. After all the customers had left, Yuan Tiantian and the others finally started their staff meal.
"The customer flow seems to be increasing recently. So I have an idea. How about we eat a little something before the lunch and dinner service hours, and then have a proper meal after the customers leave? What do you think?"
In the past few days, because of the large number of customers, they always had their meals very late. So Yuan Tiantian and the others had eaten a lot of bread to tide them over at noon. But it wasn't a good solution to keep eating just bread. So Yuan Tiantian proposed this idea to Bai Ying and Sheng Jing. Xiaojiu didn't need to be included; she would be given some snacks from time to time anyway.
Sheng Jing had no objections. Food wasn't very important to him. Bai Ying nodded excitedly.
"I'm in favor! I'm starving every day now!"
Yuan Tiantian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. Bai Ying didn't seem to eat any less of the bread. Yuan Tiantian now ordered these kinds of dry rations like small breads online in dozens of boxes at a time, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for Bai Ying, the big glutton, to eat a few times!
"Okay, it's settled then."
"I made this spicy casserole with flower crabs and spare ribs specially for you tonight. I've left plenty of ingredients. Eat to your heart's content!"
Yuan Tiantian said to them with a beaming smile. Xiaojiu had already picked up a spare rib and was munching on it with her cheeks puffed out. After hearing what Yuan Tiantian said, she nodded emphatically, then spat out a bone and kept hissing, obviously being spiced up. But her chopsticks still reached for the spicy casserole with flower crabs and spare ribs.
This amused Yuan Tiantian so much that she quickly opened a glass of lemonade for Xiaojiu and handed it over.
"Xiaojiu, it's spicy but you still eat it?"
After seeing Xiaojiu spit out another bone, Yuan Tiantian asked playfully. Xiaojiu took a big sip of the lemonade, then blinked her eyes that were starting to water because of the spiciness and looked at Yuan Tiantian seriously.
"Auntie, it's spicy, but it's so delicious! Xiaojiu likes it!"
Hearing this, not only Yuan Tiantian but also Sheng Jing showed a faint smile. Sheng Jing picked up a piece of meat from the abdomen of a flower crab and put it in Xiaojiu's bowl.
"Good girl."
Seeing the big piece of crab meat in her bowl, Xiaojiu tilted her fair and tender little face up and showed a cute smile at Sheng Jing.
"Thank you, Brother Jing!"
Brother? Sheng Jing frowned, glanced in Yuan Tiantian's direction, and then seriously corrected Xiaojiu.
"It's Uncle Jing."
Xiaojiu readily complied, grinned, and sweetly called out again, "Uncle Jing~"
Sheng Jing showed a satisfied smile. Bai Ying, who was munching on a flower crab beside them, wasn't happy. He reached out his hand and tried to pinch Xiaojiu's fair and tender little face, but Xiaojiu dodged with a giggle.
"Xiaojiu, why are they Brother, Auntie, and Uncle, but I'm just Little Yingying?!"
Bai Ying was indignant. Why did they get respectful titles as elders, but he was just called by a peer - like name? Bai Ying looked at Xiaojiu with a bit of grievance. The latter, acting like a little adult, seriously replied.
"Because Little Yingying just seems to be about the same age as Xiaojiu!"
Bai Ying: "!!"
Yuan Tiantian couldn't help bursting into laughter. Sheng Jing also curled the corner of his mouth slightly. Indeed, Bai Ying's mental age might not be much higher than Xiaojiu's.
"Come on, you guys!"
Seeing that the two of them kept laughing, Bai Ying got a bit angry. Yuan Tiantian quickly tried to hold back her laughter. Xiaojiu looked at the three of them curiously, not quite understanding what was going on. But since she couldn't figure it out, she might as well eat more delicious food. With a big bite, a large spare rib disappeared into her tummy!
While there was a harmonious atmosphere at Yuan Tiantian's place, it was tense at Yuan Lele's.
After returning to City B, Yuan Lele and Zhou Yang went to the relevant material inspection center. They both applied for expedited services. An hour later, they both got their reports. Seeing the results on the reports, Zhou Yang's face darkened, while Yuan Lele looked at Zhou Yang mockingly and laughed.
Of course, there was nothing abnormal. The water was as normal as could be.
Then Yuan Lele took the recording and the video directly to Zhou's Group. Of course, what she took was a backup. She gave the original copies to Yan Qing for safekeeping. One should always keep a backup. What if the Zhou family played dirty and damaged the things she brought?
As it turned out, she was right. After arriving at Zhou's Group and meeting Zhou Shu, the three of them sat down to talk. But after Zhou Shu heard the relevant recording and video, he quickly and forcefully smashed them.
"President Zhou, are you getting angry out of embarrassment? But it's useless. This is just one of the backups."
Hearing Yuan Lele's words, Zhou Shu stared at her with a venomous and gloomy look. Yuan Lele stared back at him fearlessly, with extreme coldness in her eyes. Finally, Zhou Shu was defeated, but his face was still extremely dark. Then he backhanded Zhou Yang with a slap.
"You're good for nothing!"
Zhou Yang staggered from the blow but didn't dare to resist at all. He could only lower his head and cover his face. Yuan Lele was also shocked when she saw this. She never expected that the kind - looking Zhou Shu she had always thought of before would be like this. Truly, it was easy to know a person's face but hard to know their heart. And on Zhou Shu's side, since he had fallen out with Yuan Lele and his true nature had been discovered, he no longer bothered to put on a disguise.
"Lele, do you really have to do this?"
Zhou Shu asked again in a deep voice with a dark face. Yuan Lele nodded firmly and answered Zhou Shu's question very definitely.
"Yes, President Zhou. I only have these two conditions. If you don't agree, then this recording and video will appear on all major online media, financial and entertainment platforms. I won't miss a single one."
"Good, very good! I underestimated you sisters!"
Yuan Lele sneered and then said indifferently.
"I can't compare to President Zhou's shrewdness."
