Chapter 293: Mocked Over and Over Again!

Hearing Bang Geng's words, Shazhu instantly got angry: "Kid, how are you talking?"

"Are you talking about me?"

Bang Geng also got angry.

However, remembering that Qin Huairu wouldn't let him talk to Shazhu, he instantly chose to shut up.

Jia Zhangshi: "Shazhu, how are you talking?"

"How are you talking to my great-grandson?"

"Did my great-grandson provoke or offend you?"

"He didn't even name names, how do you know he was talking about you?"

Shazhu: "Fine, fine, fine, I won't say anything, I'm just eating noodles, okay?"

Qin Huairu: "You, if you're capable, go earn money."

"Bring back something tasty for everyone too."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu's face instantly fell long.

Qin Huairu now despises him.

Forget it, Shazhu.

What's the big deal?

Qin Huairu is nothing more than your spare tire now.

Your target is Teacher Ran.

Teacher Ran is great, much better than Qin Huairu.

Shazhu comforted himself in his heart.

But soon he muttered to himself in his heart:

"No way, even if I want Teacher Ran, I can't let Xu Damao have it easy."

"If Qin Huairu goes with Xu Damao, she'll keep flashing before my eyes from now on."

"Then I'll feel really stifled."

"Can I even keep living like this?"

Just then, Huaihua's voice came through:

"My mom is right, I support her."

"Nowadays, as long as you're making money, you're considered capable."

Bang Geng snorted, glanced at Shazhu, and sneered:

"You think money is that easy to earn?"

"Nowadays, I really admire Xu Damao and Grandpa Liu."

"Those two are more capable than some people."

Shazhu furrowed his brows and said irritably:

"I'm willing to eat vegetarian."

Given his temper, he should have talked back long ago.

But Jia Zhangshi is not a vegetarian.

Just endure it—what else can we do?

Bang Geng gave a cold chuckle and said:

"Sigh, I always feel some people have been cowed by Xu Damao."

Shazhu could no longer bear it.

He stood up, glared at Bang Geng, then turned and walked toward the front courtyard.

Upon reaching the main gate, he saw Yan Jiecheng walking in with a bag of fruit, making Shazhu even more depressed.

This jinxed situation—why do I keep running into him?

Yan Jiecheng looked at Shazhu, smiled, and asked:

"Shazhu, going for a stroll?"

Shazhu glanced at Yan Jiecheng, said nothing, and didn't stop walking.

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said:

"Don't pretend to be aloof with me."

"I'm not even holding it against you, and you're still giving me attitude?"

Shazhu stopped, looking at Yan Jiecheng.

With a dark face, Yan Jiecheng also couldn't help but shudder.

"You, you don't do this."

"I'm telling you, in this era, if you can't make money, it's because you lack ability."

"You don't need to envy others."

Having said that, he lifted the fruit in his hand and continued:

"See?"

"Off-season fruit, especially expensive."

"Frankly, our restaurant isn't hiring chefs anymore."

"We switched to Chongqing hot pot, and business is booming."

"Don't think that if we can't hire you, others will just die."

After saying that, he left amidst Shazhu's extreme gloom.

Walking onto the street, Shazhu felt a little hungry.

He didn't think much and just walked into a noodle shop.

However.

After finishing the noodles, he realized he hadn't brought a single penny.

"Boss, uh, I forgot to bring money."

"Can I go back now to get it and give it to you?"

Shazhu is also pitiful.

Although Qin Huairu hasn't married him yet, his money is all controlled by Qin Huairu.

The boss hurriedly came out from behind the counter upon hearing his words, stopped him, and said:

"That won't do; we're also a small business—what if you run off?"

Shazhu got angry upon hearing that.

Just as he was about to speak, Teacher Ran walked in.

He couldn't help but stare.

"Boss, give me another bowl of noodles, oh, I'll pay for his bowl later too."

The boss happily walked away.

Teacher Ran sat down, looking at Shazhu, "Still dazed? Come sit down."

Shazhu smiled embarrassedly and sat down.

"Teacher Ran, I have money; I just happened to change clothes and didn't bring any."

"Like this, you pay for me first, and I'll definitely repay you another day."

Teacher Ran: "Don't say so much."

"Sit down, let's have a chat."

Shazhu nodded, sat down, and asked:

"You, you how did you come back?"

Teacher Ran smiled and said:

"I've thought it over and decided; I still want to invest in opening a restaurant with you."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu felt excited.

But thinking that if he opened a restaurant with Teacher Ran, Qin Huairu might end up with Xu Damao.

But we can't not make money either.

Shazhu hesitated a moment, then asked:

"Then, how do you know I'll definitely accept?"

Teacher Ran: "Whatever you want."

"I've already said my piece."

"If you want to partner with me to open a restaurant, just agree."

"If not, then just pretend I never said anything."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu couldn't help but fall into thought.

Teacher Ran continued:

"This restaurant, I'll open it, I'll register it, I'll put up all the money; we'll split profits 80-20, me 80%, you 20%."

"I'll also send an accountant and senior management to run this restaurant."

These terms really moved Shazhu.

He doesn't need to invest, just be responsible for cooking, and still get a share.

After thinking, he asked:

"Then the kitchen staff must follow my orders, right?"

Teacher Ran: "No need to say; the kitchen is naturally under your full charge."

"I believe in your cooking skills and also in your character."

Shazhu thought, nodded, and said:

"Alright, then it's settled."

Teacher Ran nodded and said:

"I have one condition."

Shazhu: "Please speak."

Teacher Ran: "I don't like Bang Geng's mother meddling in this matter."

"I hope you don't tell her."

Shazhu: "No problem."

"Teacher Ran, let me tell you, actually I have nothing to do with Qin Huairu."

"We're just neighbors."

Teacher Ran smiled and said nothing.

In this matter, she doesn't believe Shazhu.

She had already found out; everyone says although Shazhu and Qin Huairu aren't married, the two of them are like a married couple.

Well, Shazhu's money is all controlled by Qin Huairu.

Shazhu then said: "This matter is a bit like a pie falling from the sky."

"Haha, I still can't quite believe it."

Teacher Ran: "I've already told you this myself, and you still don't believe me?"

"Is it that you don't believe me?"

Shazhu laughed: "No, no, no, absolutely not."

Teacher Ran: "Then that's settled."

Shazhu: "Mm-hmm, Teacher Ran, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"You can rest assured; with me around, the restaurant will definitely be a hit."

Teacher Ran: "I believe it; I also took a liking to your cooking skills."

"I'm a businessman; if you didn't have these skills, I couldn't have approached you, right?"

Shazhu: "Thank you, thank you."
