Around eight o'clock in the evening is when the night market's business is at its best.
Xiaoman came over again, bumped Lin Mai's shoulder, and looked straight in a certain direction: "Hey, that man has been looking at you!"
Lin Mai followed her gaze and saw Fang Zhuoran walking toward her affectionately with a lunch box in his hand.
She cheered, abandoned the customer, ran towards him, and asked in surprise: "Are you back? Was the operation successful?"
"It was a success." Fang Zhuoran said and handed her the lunch box in his hand, "It contains Hunan's famous salted duck. Thinking that you like spicy food, I brought it back to you."
Lin Mai then noticed that his eyes were bloodshot and his beard had grown out.
He said distressedly: "You are so tired and you still come to bring me food. Go back and have a good rest."
"It's okay." Fang Zhuoran walked to her stall and sat on her pony, "I have a day off tomorrow."
"It's only one day off!" Lin Mai muttered dissatisfied, "You have worked hard for so long, and your leader only gives you one day off. It's really stingy!"
"No, you gave me a week's leave, and I stayed with you for six days to take the high school entrance examination."
"The high school entrance examination is completed in three days, why do we need six days?" Lin Mai opened the lunch box, took out a piece of salted duck with soy sauce and started to chew on it.
The duck skin and meat with soy sauce are crispy and fragrant, and the sauce is rich and tastes great. Lin Mai couldn't stop eating it.
"I still have three days off. I plan to take you and Doudou on a trip after you finish your high school entrance exam.
Didn't we promise Doudou that the three of us would take a photo together? We must keep our word."
Lin Mai had forgotten about this a long time ago and smiled a little ashamedly.
Several customers saw Lin Mai only concentrating on chatting and eating, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Madam boss, do you want to do business or not?"
Lin Mai responded quickly, closed the lunch box, and was about to do business.
Fang Zhuoran stood up and said, "You eat, I'll do it." He went to greet the customers.
Lin Mai then opened the lunch box again and continued to enjoy the food.
Knowing that Fang Zhuoran didn't like spicy food very much, Lin Mai still playfully stuffed some duck skin into his mouth and looked at him with a smile and frowned at the spicy food.
Chen Feng came to Jianghan Road for inspection and saw Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran rubbing their hair together. He felt inexplicably sour and turned around to leave.
A younger brother asked doubtfully: "Boss, aren't you going to Baocheng Road to take a look? This is the wrong direction~"
There is also their night market on Baocheng Road, which specializes in electronic speakers.
Chen Feng glared at him: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The younger brother was so scared that he didn't say anything. Why was the boss so angry?
Forsythia looked deeply at the man beside her who she had liked since she was a girl, and pursed her lips tightly.
Seeing Lin Mai eating, Xiao Man came over and said, "What are you eating? Salted duck with soy sauce! I want to eat it!"
I grabbed a piece of salted duck and stuffed it into my mouth, and kept saying in praise: "Hmm, it's so spicy, so delicious!"
Both girls love spicy food, but neither of them are of high rank, so after eating only a few pieces, everything was too spicy.
Fang Zhuoran had no choice but to buy them cold drinks to relieve the spicy food.
Those female customers who were buying clothes quit: "Hey! Do you have any professional ethics? We haven't even bought anything yet, and you're going to run away!"
Fang Zhuoran smiled slightly, like a spring breeze blowing on his face: "I will be back soon."
Lin Mai stuffed the lunch box containing salted salted duck into Xiao Man's hand, walked over, and asked enthusiastically: "What clothes do you want to buy?"
Several girls rolled their eyes at her: "Who wants to buy from you!" They held the clothes they had chosen and stood aside waiting for Fang Zhuoran.
Lin Mai shook his head helplessly.
I really didn’t expect that girls in this era are just like girls in her previous life, unable to move when they see a handsome guy.
She was thinking in her mind whether to ask Fang Zhuoran to work part-time selling clothes at her place. Her business would be even more popular and she would be able to earn more money~
Xiao Man fanned the cool air into his mouth with his hands to make himself less spicy.
She breathed heavily and said to Lin Mai: "Your boyfriend is really handsome. Does he have any brothers? Is his brother handsome? If so, introduce him to me."
While doing business, Lin Mai said: "My boyfriend has a younger brother who is super handsome, but I'm not familiar with him, so I can't introduce him to you."
Xiaoman patted her: "You don't have to tell him deliberately, you have to introduce him to me.
You invite a bunch of people out to play, and invite him out too, so I can chase him."
When Lin Mai thought of Fang Zhuoran's complicated family, he didn't want to connect Xiaoman and Fang Zhuoran.
Fang Zhuoyue's parents would not fall in love with Xiaoman, so why bother letting this happy girl get hurt?
So he said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it later."
Not far away, Wang Rong was shopping with a group of little sisters.
These little sisters, like her, all work in the electric power department, receive high wages, and have good family conditions.
Every time a few girls go shopping, it's actually a competition, a secret competition to see who can buy the most and the most expensive things. Wang Rong wins every time.
In addition, Wang Rong invites them to eat at high-end restaurants from time to time, so she has become the eldest sister of these girls.
After all, you can eat people with soft lips and take people with soft hands.
But when they were shopping today, the little sisters found that Wang Rong was very unusual. He no longer took the initiative to buy drinks and snacks for them as before.
She didn't even buy clothes, shoes, bags, or cosmetics. At most, she tried them and didn't think they were good.
A little sister asked half-heartedly: "Rongrong, is it because your brother is in jail and your family's conditions are not as good as before, so you can no longer spend money casually?"
"It's nothing." Wang Rong denied flatly, hiding her discomfort with the broken hair beside her ears.
She hates people mentioning her brother's imprisonment the most, and hates people saying she has no money even more.
The little sister saw her embarrassment, but refused to let her go: "Then why have you been shopping for so long and you didn't buy anything?"
Wang Rong said in a serious tone: "I want to buy it too, but I don't see anything worth buying. I'm helpless."
Even though this excuse sounded untrue, there was no way to refute it, so the little sister had no choice but to shut up.
A little sister named Yanhong held Wang Rong's arm and asked: "Rong Rong, I heard that your rival Yaya is getting married to Yang Yong, the son of the director of the Electric Power Division 3, on National Day this year.
When will you marry your cousin?
I want to drink your wedding wine and show off my power in front of Yaya."
She rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Is it great to marry the son of a director? Look down on this, look down on that.
I heard that Yaya’s in-laws’ family only prepared a one-bedroom and one-living house for her. What’s there to be proud of!
It's not like your cousin, who was given a big house with two bedrooms and one living room by the school.
If you get married to your cousin, you can even compare to Yaya in terms of housing!"
"That's right!" said a little sister named Liqin, "Didn't you say that your cousin still has a small European-style garden house that his mother left to him?
If you marry your cousin in that small European-style garden building, you will be even more humiliated to Yaya."
Wang Rong of Versailles corrected: "It's not a small European-style garden building, but a large villa. In the former concession, it is now worth tens of millions."
All the little sisters were so envious that they gasped in envy.
Everyone asked her and Fang Zhuoran when they would hold a wedding so that they could visit the mansion.
Wang Rong snorted: "If you want to visit my eldest cousin's mansion, do you have to wait until I get married to him?
Whenever you want to go, I will take you there."
Li Qin kindly advised: "Rong Rong, I think you should marry your eldest cousin as soon as possible. Your eldest cousin has such good conditions, and you are not afraid of others intercepting your husband."
Wang Rong said sweetly: "My eldest cousin only has me in his heart. Others can't cut off his beard even if they want to. You don't have to worry."
Another little sister said: "That being said, you and your cousin have been in love for so many years.
You are not young anymore. You are already twenty-one years old this year, which is the right age to get married. If you don’t marry your cousin, some uninformed people will think that your cousin doesn’t want to marry you at all.”
"Yes! Yaya said that to you behind your back!" Yan Hong said hurriedly.
Wang Rong couldn't help laughing.
She always brags to her little sisters that she and Fang Zhuoran are lovers.
But now that Fang Zhuoran has a girlfriend, her friends' "forced marriage" makes her feel panicked.
