Wen Yu gave them a thumbs up and said, “I have high expectations for all of you. You have demonstrated the ability to learn how to run a shop.”

Zhou Mei looked at Wen Yu with a smug expression and remarked, “Well, of course I have to learn! After all, I invested a lot of money into this venture. Sometimes, it still pains me when I think about the amount I spent.”

Wen Xing quickly comforted Zhou Mei and said, “Don’t worry, honey. This is just an early-stage investment. I have full confidence in our noodle shop! I took a look at the bowls we collected and I noticed that most of them were completely empty, with only a small portion left at the bottom. I’m guessing it’s because some girls are watching their weight and don’t want to overeat.” Zhou Mei, who was busy in the kitchen for the entire day, felt a sense of relief and joy upon hearing Wen Xing’s words. The actions of the customers were a more convincing proof that they were doing well.

If Zhou Mei’s culinary skills were successfully recognized by the local community, it would no longer be necessary to keep hiring temporary workers. “Dad, when will you be able to start your new job?” contemporary romance

Wen Xing responded with delight, “I can start on Monday. Xiao He doesn’t have any classes that day, so she can come in to help for an extra day. After the opening event, your mother and Xiao He should be able to manage the shop on their own.”

Wen Nian replied, “Then I’ll help after school in the future.”

Zhou Mei responded firmly in a serious tone, “Today is Friday and it’s the first day of business, so I’ve made an exception and allowed you both to help out. However, your studies should always be your top priority. I don’t want you to help just because this is the restaurant we opened. If it means compromising your education, I’d rather close the shop altogether! Once things have stabilized, your father can send food to you both. Nian Nian, come over for dinner tonight after school. I’ll cook ahead of time so you can eat and then go home to study.”

Seeing that Zhou Mei had already decided on a plan, Wen Nian and Wen Yu looked at each other and silently dismissed the idea.

After the family finished cleaning up, it was nearly ten o’clock by the time they returned home. Zhou Mei quickly washed up and went to bed to rest and prepare for the next morning.

The following day, Zhou Mei woke up just after four o’clock and quietly got ready to go to the market to purchase ingredients for breakfast. Wen Yu was the next to wake up as he had to attend make-up lessons at school. After him, Wen Xing got ready for work, and finally, Wen Nian stretched and got out of bed.

Wen Nian arrived at Xifeng Court promptly at 8:30 and took the elevator with Shen Jun. As the LCD panel displayed the words “10th floor,” Wen Nian recalled the incident from the previous week when she had snuck into the Wei family’s residence.

Throughout the week, Wen Nian had entertained all sorts of possibilities and had speculated that Wei Xiao might have hired someone to kill her parents. Perhaps he had done so because he did not want to be with her and wanted to frame her for the crime. All of these thoughts rushed through Wen Nian’s mind as the elevator doors opened on the tenth floor.

Wen Nian was certain that Wei Feng must have known about the incident. Even if he was not aware of it earlier, he would eventually find out. Wen Nian had witnessed Wei Feng’s authoritative nature.

Wen Nian stood in front of the notification board, staring at it with a frown, and clenched her fists tightly. She gritted her teeth in frustration as she thought about the Wei Family reaching out to her family first to return a favor. Wen Nian speculated that Wei Xiao was too scared to go against Wei Feng’s wishes and had decided to destroy her to protect himself.

For this, they did not hesitate to destroy a family to satisfy their own selfish desires!

The Wei family’s hypocrisy was truly repulsive, but Wen Nian knew she had to focus on improving herself before taking any action. She wasn’t the protagonist of a novel with special abilities or powers, and so she could only rely on her own hard work to rise higher and become powerful enough to make the Wei family afraid to oppose her.

Ding! The elevator door opened.

Wen Nian also came to her senses and followed Shen Jun into the Shen residence.

Shen Jun had stayed up late the night before to deal with something and had only slept for two hours when he was awakened by Wen Nian’s call. He was extremely sleepy, and his voice was still groggy. “I’ll sleep a little longer. When you’re done, work on the first set of the most challenging papers in each subject.”

Wen Nian put down her bag, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to start working. “No problem, you go back to sleep. I’ll figure out the schedule on my own.”

When Wen Nian returned to the Shen residence, she was already familiar with the place. Three hours later, she had finished cleaning all the areas.

Wen Nian opened the refrigerator to take out a sanwich for lunch, but she noticed that the sandwich had been replaced with a container of fruit and vegetable juice mixed with chicken, duck, and fish.

Wen Nian looked at the fresh ingredients and quietly wondered to herself, “Did he buy these ingredients specifically because I came?”

The only thing that was ready to eat in the fridge were a few leftover dumplings that she had made the previous week. Wen Nian had no choice but to select some ingredients and cook her own meal. In the end, she prepared stir-fried chicken with spicy peppers and egg soup.

It took half an hour to cook the meal and ten minutes to finish eating.

After finishing her meal, Wen Nian sat in front of the coffee table and began doing her test papers..
