Chapter 306: Number 306: Eating is Easy, Regurgitating is Difficult

Zhu Qianying thought that since Master Yan came at this hour, he would most likely try to scrounge up a meal for dinner. In anticipation, she had already thought of an excuse to refuse him.

Unexpectedly, after giving the fruit to Chen Jing, he said, "No, I have to go."

His departure was naturally a relief to the mother and daughter, Zhu Qianying. She escorted him to the door, and Master Yan reminded her, "Remember to take your medicine, and absolutely stop staying up late!"

Zhu Qianying nodded in response, wondering in her heart, ’Is this really Master Yan? Why is he nagging more than my mother?’

This didn’t end here, as Master Yan immediately said, "If you find a shop you like, remember to call Qin Xiu!"

Zhu Qianying nodded again. If it were not for the best-selling property of the Yanhuang Group, Zhu Qianying would definitely think that, at this moment, Master Yan was scheming her to rent a forever unsalable shop.

After seeing off Master Yan, Zhu Qianying went back to the kitchen. Someone was still working in front of the sink and the fridge, but it was now her mother.

"Mom, don’t look for a job. Instead, why don’t we open up a private restaurant?"

Zhu Qianying had just calculated that she could afford to rent a medium-sized shop from the Yanhuang Group and the remaining money would likely be enough to cover the decor and facility expenses.

Chen Jing turned her head, looking at her warily, "You looked at a shop last time, didn’t it require a transfer fee of three hundred thousand yuan? Where are you getting the money?"

The shop that Chen Jing mentioned was the one that Zhu Qianying had visited secretly. She hadn’t expected that she would be caught.

"It’s not that one, it’s a new one. The deposit is three months of rent, and you pay two months upfront. The shop comes with some simple decor, we just need to do a bit of renovation to start using it. I’ve calculated it, the money I have got should be enough, and if not, I can ask Xiao Yu to contribute a bit more."

While speaking, Zhu Qianying pulled up the layout on her iPad to show to Chen Jing.

Truthfully speaking, Chen Jing was more than willing to start a restaurant.

Firstly, she had the ability for it.

Secondly, she also wished to lighten her daughter’s burden after she started working.

Thirdly, after her grandson has returned to school following the Spring Festival, she won’t be required to accompany him all the time anymore. Besides, the little one is now frequently living with the Yan family for a few days, so Chen Jing is getting bored. To start a restaurant would be earning money as well as have something to do. It’s a win-win.

She was very satisfied with the shop layout and surroundings, but upon seeing the Yanhuang Group logo at the bottom of the page, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious again.

"Ying’er, this shop isn’t... provided by Master Yan, is it?"

Zhu Qianying immediately cut her off, "Mom, he doesn’t care. We will pay the rent like we would to anyone else."

Only then did Chen Jing sigh a breath of relief, "Well, go and have a look, if it is suitable then let’s rent it."

Chen Jing, having received the response of "please wait for notice" several times after her interviews, was vaguely aware that the Zhu family was trying to obstruct her work prospects in L City.

Hence, there was no other way for her to find work in the same industry, other than opening her own restaurant.

Zhu Qianying, who is highly efficient, took the opportunity to call Qin Xiu while her mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

They agreed to check out the shop the next day. As for the rent, neither Qin Xiu nor Zhu Qianying made any mention of it.

At dinner, Chen Jing couldn’t help but nag again, "Ying’er, you mustn’t try to save a small amount only to lose a lot. It is easy to get in, but hard to get out."

"Mom, I know!"

She wasn’t silly. Five years ago, she almost lost herself for the sake of $200 million. Now that she had finally freed herself from the mud, why would she jump into a new trap!

After dinner, Zhu Qianying obediently took her medicine under Chen Jing’s supervision. Afterwards, she called her precious son in Capital City.

The little boy was excited on the other end of the phone because his cousins finally had a day off and could take him out for a whole day.

Zhu Qianying didn’t know. Besides the fact that his cousins were busy with school before, the little fellow’s hand had been bandaged like a bear’s paw ever since he got injured. The elders were far from reassured to let him out to play.

The little fellow on the other end of the phone was also good at keeping secrets. After all these days, he hadn’t mentioned a word about his hand injury to mommy.

Being kept in the dark, Zhu Qianying chatted with her son for over half an hour before reluctantly hanging up the phone. She then turned on her computer and started to work for a while.

The refreshed Zhu Qianying felt that she was currently in quite good spirits, and was full of inspiration. As she immersed herself in her work, she completely ignored everything around her. When the ringing of her nearby phone got on her nerves, she reluctantly picked it up.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Shadow, are you free?" On the other side of the phone, it was surprisingly, Qin Xiu.

Zhu Qianying habitually hit the save key, "Aren’t we going to see it tomorrow?"

She initially thought Qin Xiu was calling to arrange for her to view the shop.

"Not to view the shop, but for something else. May I trouble you?"

Zhu Qianying glanced at the bottom right corner of her computer screen showing it was not yet nine o’clock.

"Fine, I can leave in ten minutes. Where should we meet?"

Zhu Qianying wondered in her heart, could it be — did he have to talk on behalf of his boss?

"In half an hour, I will wait for you outside the gate of your community, can you make it?"

"Okay, see you in half an hour!"

In half an hour, just as Zhu Qianying, wrapped up in warm clothing, walked out of the residential area, Qin Xiu’s car was already parked at the door. Seeing Zhu Qianying, he rolled down the window to signal her to sit in the co-pilot seat.

After Zhu Qianying got into the car and buckled her seat belt, she asked straightforwardly, "Brother Qin, you didn’t find me because of Master Yan’s matter, did you?"

Zhu Qianying believed that she had already made her stance very clear to Master Yan in the morning. She did not wish to repeat the same words again in front of outsiders.

"To some extent it is, but not completely. You’ll see when you get there." Qin Xiu gave her an ambiguous response.

And Zhu Qianying was certainly not satisfied with the answer that was equivalent to a non-answer, "Brother Qin, I am not good at guessing, can you please make it clear?"

If it was really to speak on behalf of Master Yan, she could get off the car right now.

"Well, fortunately, the old man predicted this situation very early."

Sighing, Qin Xiu handed over a piece of paper.

Zhu Qianying took the paper with suspicion. On it was handwriting that she was somewhat familiar with.

"Ying’er, come to the Pavilion of Ease with Qin Xiu. I need you for something! By Yan Han."

Zhu Qianying was even more confused. The Pavilion of Ease?

If she remembered correctly, a few years ago, this villa district, backed by mountains and facing water, was quite popular among the younger generation of rich and influential families. Many wealthy youths owned property here.
