Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Xiaowan’s desire to open up a dessert shop grew. Alas, contrary to her desire, her baking was not consistent; sometimes it was a success, and sometimes it was a failure. There was a time when the glutinous balls she made turned green. At that time, the chef did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw it.
When Huo Zheng learned about her desire to open a dessert shop, he said with a smile, “You can open the shop next to the company. There are many people in the company who want to eat the desserts you make.”
“That’s embarrassing…”
If she opened up a dessert shop, she would definitely be at the store to sell the desserts. What if Huo Zheng’s employees came to watch her? It would make her extremely nervous. What if she gave the wrong change? What if they thought her desserts were not delicious? However, there was also a possibility that they would not recognize her.
‘That’s right! Only a few people have seen me before! I’m not a celebrity or anything so how could people recognize me?’
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiaowan no longer felt nervous.
Hong Minhua had to leave for a business trip, but before she left, she did not forget to give Lin Xiaowan homework.
Initially, Hong Minhua wanted Lin Xiaowan to join the students from a class to go out and sketch. However, Lin Xiaowan was hesitant. In the end, she had no choice but to give Lin Xiaowan more homework.
Although the homework seemed like a lot, it was really not much. Lin Xiaowan managed to finish it in a few days and returned to the kitchen again.
Whenever the chef was around, the chef wanted to help Lin Xiaowan. However, Lin Xiaowan’s skills were really average. She did not even know how to cut meat. She looked at the meat for a long time, but she could not find its grain. Even after the patient chef taught her in detail, she still could not find the grain of the meat.
In the end, Lin Xiaowan was too embarrassed to trouble the chef to help her so she silently retreated when it was time for the chef to cook.
On a Saturday morning.
Qiao You’an called Lin Xiaowan and asked, “Xiaowan, you were thinking about opening up a dessert shop, right? Why don’t I bring you to meet a business partner?”
“Huh?”
‘Do I need a business partner?’
This was Lin Xiaowan’s first time having afternoon tea with wealthy ladies. She was very nervous even though Qiao You’an was with her. She held her bag with both hands and greeted everyone according to Qiao You’an’s instructions.
Apart from Qiao You’an, the other ladies were quite a bit older than Lin Xiaowan. Lin Xiaowan could not help but feel as though she was of the same generation as Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao when she was with them.
The ladies were friendly and did not put on air. One of them, Zhu Yingyue, was the business partner that Qiao You’an previously mentioned.
Zhu Yingyue was a full-time housewife. She graduated with a master’s degree and married her husband a few years after she graduated. She was 27 years old when she got married so she was a little anxious to have children.
Unfortunately, the more anxious she was, the more fruitless her quest to have children became. Finally, after two years of marriage, she finally gave birth to a daughter. When her daughter turned four, she gave birth to a son.
Zhu Yingyue had never worked before and had been focused on taking care of her family. She lived a good life and had a lot of help at home so she was quite relaxed. The only thing was that her husband was very busy and rarely came home. Fortunately, her husband was quite good to her as well. He would remember events like birthdays and anniversaries and would plan all kinds of surprises for her. This made up for his shortcoming.
Zhu Yingyue had nothing to do when her children were in school. Thinking that was once a top finance student, she wanted to be by her husband’s side and be a capable assistant. However, her husband refused her by giving her all sorts of excuses. At that time, she began to feel that something was amiss. It had to be said that a woman’s sixth sense was terrifyingly accurate. She soon found out that her husband had an affair with his secretary. Not only that, the two even had a family; the secretary had given birth to his child.
Needless to say, Zhu Yingyue was shocked by her discovery..
