Chapter 117: Acting School

"So, what should I do now?" Qin Huai asked the two spirits for help.

One is a plant spirit who woke up in a muddle, and the other is a You Bifang who knows everything but is determined not to wake up.

These two spirits don't look very reliable either.

"Try hard to complete it," Chen Huihong said. "We can only do our best to help Yunzhong Xiaoqu wake up, but looking at Yunzhong Xiaoqu's situation now... it's very hard to wake up."

"What do you mean?" Qin Huai always felt that Chen Huihong still had something she hadn't told him.

"Didn't I just say it? A spirit's tribulation mainly relies on itself. Your system situation, Xiao Qin, belongs to an extremely rare accidental case that can help a bit, but this help also has a degree."

"For example, my tasks are relatively easy to complete. Luo Jun's first task was easy to complete, and you are stuck on the second task now. Qu Jing's first task has nothing to do with herself. Tasks related to oneself are so difficult, which shows that the probability of her successful tribulation is originally very low."

"If the probability of me waking up is 1%, then Qu Jing might be one in ten thousand or even one in one hundred thousand. My obsession is Hui Niang, and heaven let me meet Huihui. But based on our current understanding of Yunzhong Xiaoqu, you can't see what her obsession is at all."

"She doesn't have people she cares about, nor does she have things she cares about. The whole person looks desireless and demandless, which is originally the most unsolvable for a spirit in the last life."

"I think Qu Jing quite loves her work," Qin Huai silently complained.

"That's why I just told you that even if Yunzhong Xiaoqu fails to transcend tribulation, you shouldn't have any psychological burden. Tribulation is our own business as spirits; the hurdles in our own hearts must be overcome by ourselves. You have already helped a lot, but the final result being unsatisfactory has nothing to do with you."

Luo Jun clicked his tongue: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I said it long ago, you plant spirits have muddled brains that aren't smart. The system has already given hints about Qu Jing's obsession. You two didn't see it at all?"

Qin Huai & Chen Huihong:?

The two looked at Luo Jun in unison.

"Qu Jing's affirmation," Luo Jun had an expression of "no way, no way, who is the holder of the system, how can someone be more muddled than me?" "Read it again."

Qin Huai flipped to 【Qu Jing's Affirmation】 and read it again.

【Qu Jing's Affirmation】: The affirmation of the dedicated doctor Ms. Qu. Obtaining this title means you have already gained Qu Jing's recognition and are one of her few friends, with a very small probability of letting her open her heart to you and peek into the secrets she has hidden for many years.

"Didn't the system teach you step-by-step how to complete the task?" Luo Jun took another bite of the Flower Steamed Bun. "Make friends with her, let her open her heart to you, and peek into the secrets she has hidden for many years."

"How could a muddled egg who hasn't woken up by the last life not have any obsession? If you can't see it, it only shows that this obsession is hidden very deeply, she doesn't dare tell anyone, or the friendship hasn't reached that point yet."

"I told you to talk to Qu Jing more and send some pastries. Why are you as stingy as Chen Huihong, insisting on Qu Jing coming to the shop to buy them?"

Qin Huai:...

Wronged! He even stuffed Qu Jing with a fruit-shaped pastry this morning, although it was sent by Qin Luo.

And letting Qu Jing come to the canteen to buy every day isn't to let her form a habit? Look at how good the habit is now; she's almost becoming one with the grandpas and grandmas in the shop.

Those who don't know would think Qu Jing found a part-time job in the canteen and has to come to clock in every day.

"So... actually, you saw long ago that the key to helping Qu Jing transcend tribulation is to find her secret?" Qin Huai's gaze at Luo Jun instantly became much more respectful.

Although Luo Jun has a bad temper, loves to cause medical trouble, and likes to mock plant spirits, this You Bifang brain is really good, and he can really grasp the key points when looking at problems.

"Does this need to be seen? This is common sense, okay?" Luo Jun looked at Chen Huihong with disdain. "Do you think all spirits are like you plant spirits, muddled and knowing nothing?"

Qin Huai continued to look at Luo Jun: "So you actually know your obsession very well... it should be an inner demon. Can you elaborate?"

Luo Jun:...

Luo Jun glared at Qin Huai, thinking: "Aren't we talking about Qu Jing? How did it get back to me?"

"No rush, this is only my first life. If I die and reincarnate, I'll still have memories. When I die and leave the inheritance to you, and when I reincarnate and can go out, you can return some to me."

"Qu Jing is in her last life, and she is relatively anxious. You solve hers first."

"Then are you still eating the fruit-shaped pastry?"

"Eat! Can you make something else? I'm going to vomit from eating apple-shaped pastries every day. I don't really love eating apples."

Facing the request of the real "Gold Master Papa," Qin Huai immediately expressed:

"Make it, I can make anything! Look, I've already started learning fish for Flower Steamed Buns. Is this far from making other types of fruit-shaped pastries?"

Luo Jun looked at the fish he had already gnawed half of, which was probably drawn by Chen Huihui with crayons two or three years ago, and slowly clicked out a question mark.

Finally, after Chen Huihong finished the fruit platter, ate some melon seeds, and incidentally touched away the sesame shortbread, pine nut jujube paste cakes, and Eight-Treasure cakes that hadn't been sold in the last two days, Luo Jun blasted the two out and told Qin Huai he was going to the hospital for physical therapy tomorrow afternoon.

Qu Jing is on the day shift tomorrow. Chen Huihong walked into the elevator gnawing on sesame shortbread, handed the bag to Qin Huai, and asked him if he wanted some; it was free and particularly delicious.

Qin Huai said no; this is what their canteen sells, and it's free anyway.

"Sister Hong, do you think it's harder for Qu Jing to awaken, or for Luo Jun to awaken?" Qin Huai asked.

Chen Huihong thought for a moment: "Luo Jun, I guess."

Looking at Qin Huai's puzzled eyes, Chen Huihong explained: "It's already the last life. Yunzhong Xiaoqu doesn't need to completely eliminate her obsession; as long as she can recall previous memories through certain opportunities, it counts as a successful awakening."

"On this matter, you can still exert a lot of effort, Xiao Qin."

"But Luo Jun now knows everything, is clear about everything, but just doesn't want to himself. Perhaps he can wake up in the second or third life, but the probability in this life is very low."

"So many spirits will quickly end their lives and start a new round of reincarnation after discovering that their tribulation failed. It's very rare for someone like Luo Jun to stubbornly live for so long knowing that he failed."

Chen Huihong thought for a moment: "Maybe it's because the era is relatively good, and TV dramas are indeed quite good-looking."

Qin Huai:...

Is this the point?

Qin Huai suddenly empathized with Luo Jun: "I'm really convinced by you plant spirits."

You guys are a bit too uninhibited in front of acquaintances.

When Qin Huai returned to the canteen, Chen An had already finished eating and left. The hall was still full, two savory chefs were humming and flipping spoons to keep serving new dishes, and Zheng Siyuan was also kneading dough in the kitchen.

Seeing that Zheng Siyuan had started working overtime, Qin Huai hurriedly changed his clothes and went in to work overtime.

"Qin Huai." Seeing Qin Huai back, Zheng Siyuan called him seriously. His expression was so serious that Qin Huai couldn't help but stand straight, as if facing a lecture from the dean of students.

"Have you really not considered recruiting a few more pastry chefs?" Zheng Siyuan asked. "Although you run a canteen and not a restaurant, let alone a specialized pastry shop, your customer traffic is no lower than a specialized pastry shop."

"I recruited, but because I run a canteen, it's particularly difficult to recruit professional pastry chefs. Chen An is already the best I could recruit."

To prevent Zheng Siyuan from not believing him, Qin Huai explained: "I was already recruiting before I met you and Master Zheng, but didn't you and Master Zheng come later? Sister Hong, who helped with recruitment, mistakenly took you two as benchmarks, resulting in not being able to recruit anyone. Later, she lowered the standard and recruited Chen An."

"Now, recruiting people with Chen An's standard, there are no suitable ones, and even apprentices can't find suitable ones."

"I'm also strange sometimes; is it so difficult to recruit a pastry chef? Obviously, savory chefs are very easy to recruit."

Zheng Siyuan thought for a moment and asked: "Sister Hong helped you recruit?"

"Yes," Qin Huai nodded. "To be precise, it was Chen Zong who helped recruit. Doesn't he have a property company? Their company has a specialized HR department."

Zheng Siyuan: "... How can you find a professional pastry chef like this? Excellent pastry chefs on the market are already rare, and they basically circulate among major restaurants. You..."

"You don't know any? Forget it, you really don't know any, and I don't know any either."

"I'll ask my father to help ask if there's anyone who wants to jump ship. You can actually lower the requirements for apprentices. Your technique is there; as long as you express your intention to pick excellent ones from the apprentices to take as disciples, I believe there will be those who are willing."

"Thanks." Qin Huai was very grateful, and also a bit curious, "But Siyuan, why do you suddenly care about this?"

Zheng Siyuan's face was full of numbness: "Your canteen's business is too good."

"I feel like I'm doing three times the work every day."

Qin Huai: _(: 3」∠)_

To tell you the truth, the business is good mainly because of you.

Everyone is afraid that you will randomly drop for a period of time and leave, so they all grab it vengefully, buying three times the amount.

Zheng Siyuan is the kind of person who can't bear to see pastries sold out early and can't bear to see the disappointed eyes of diners, which is why he fell into the customers' trap.

Working overtime every day until he doubts life.

Qin Huai has been a bit suspicious these past few days that the old men and women in the residential area have discovered that this trick is useful and are deliberately looking at Zheng Siyuan with disappointed eyes.

Who told these rich and idle old men and women to have such explosive acting skills?

Going out on the weekend, taking advantage of the time past 12 o'clock to update first.
