Everyone’s eyes lit up as they all nodded in agreement, dealing with one was easier than dealing with two, hence they forthrightly took over the seat. Gathering all their ammunition, everyone targeted Chef, but... they still couldn’t win!

Once Lonemoon left, the number of braggers increased from two to three people. The remaining bit of chips all went to Chef as they lost everything.

Everyone felt a slight burn on their faces!

At this point, Lonemoon suddenly came forward and said affably, “Seniors, do you need more chips, it’s alright, if you think enough of me, why not use mine first? At the most you can give me some dividends when you win later on.”

“Great brother! So sensible!” They were overjoyed and hurriedly took the chips from his hand and entered another round of battle.

And the game was showing signs of becoming increasingly intense, only this time, they were longer targeting Chef but each had their own wins and losses, this gave them greater confidence and became more and more engrossed. In the end Chef also withdrew with a pile of chips and sat aside to watch on yet his gaze would repeatedly move towards the room door that was still tightly closed.

This great mahjong battle ended after three whole hours, with Chef and Father Niu, mainly Father Niu’s complete victory. Although he did not go on again to play, he loaned money at a side, by the time everyone came to a realization, on top of losing all the chips they had, they even ended up in great debt. The kind where he collected stacks of I.O.U.s.

Everyone: “...”

Where exactly did Little Ying find all these two gambling gods, way too terrifying!

As the few people were still calculating just how much money they were owing Lonemoon, the door to the materials room finally opened with a creak, Shen Ying walked out.

“Master!” Delighted, Yi Qing stood and walked towards her with quick steps.

Yet he saw another figure walking out after her, dressed in clothing completely different from theirs, slick short hair, a hint of a smile was still left on his handsome face as he looked towards Shen Ying with some indulgence.

Yi Qing paused in his steps.

“Even the materials room does not have what you seek, seems like you won’t be able to escape.” Mi Le said jokingly.

“Has it got anything to do with you?” Shen Ying swept a glance at him.

“Don’t put it that way, after all, I’m the only person who can get a word in front of your sister.”

“Forget it, we’ll see about that.” Shen Ying’s face darkened. “Thanks for the time.”

“Why are your standing on ceremony, your problem is my problem.”

“Mas... ter.” Yi Qing inhaled deeply before continuing to walk forward, for some reason, he kept feeling oddly flustered at heart, fisting the hands by his side, he asked, “Did you find it?”

“No.” Shen Ying replied, frowning.

“Then... we’ll continue to think of other ways.” Yi Qing stepped forward again, instinctively reaching out, wanting to hold her hand.

Shen Ying faltered and shrank back abruptly, avoiding his touch. She moved rather quickly and even turned her body slightly to the side, seeming as if she hastily wanted to dissociate some sort of relationship with him.

Chef who ended up grabbing the empty air was stunned, paling instantly. This was the first time... Master avoided him. At once, there seemed to be something sour and acrid rising up, he was a little... upset!

Lonemoon who was still seated on the bench glanced at the unfamiliar man who was smilingly conversing with Shen Ying, gentleness all over his face, then looked at Chef. Eyes narrowing for a moment, he turned towards the person beside him and asked, “Brother, who is that?”

“What?” That person paused for a moment, his gaze left the mahjong table temporarily as he lifted his head for a glance. “Oh, that’s Mi Le! He’s a plane assistant, he often comes here to play.”

“Is he very close to Shen Ying?”

“Of course, back when Little Ying was schooling, she came to the administrative committee with him and they studied together for a period of time. They could be considered... classmates!”

“Other than classmates, is there no other relation?”

That person was momentarily dazed before turning back to glance at him, then looked up at the two people on the side, his eyes narrowing into a slit. “Of course there is!” He said smilingly with a slightly cunning look. “Let me tell you, Mi Le was Little Ying’s first love!”

“...” There was still such a thing! No wonder that manager who dragged Shen Ying to the materials room previously had that sort of expression.

Lonemoon was taken aback, looking at the desolate Chef again, he silently lit up a candle.

“He is your assistant?” Mi Le gave Chef a glance and surveyed him with some curiosity.

“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded.

“I heard Sister Jing mentioned before that you’re already a manager and you even have two assistants. I didn’t expect you to already be a manager in such a short period of time, congratulations Little Ying.”

Shen Ying darted a look at him. “What’s good about being a manager.”

“How is it not? Weren’t you always working very hard hoping to catch up with your sister back then? Now you’ve finally done it!”

“...” Shen Ying did not reply, only pausing for a while before saying. “I’m tired, I’m going back.”

“Alright.” The tenderness in his eyes grew deeper as he said with an even gentler smile, “Call me up anytime if you need anything in the future, you can also let me know in advance if you want to ask your sister about this, I’ll cover you!”

Shen Ying stiffened for a second, then grinned at him, then said, emphasizing each word, “Thank you!”

“Heh heh...” His smile really affectionate. “With our relationship, what’s there to be polite about?”

Shen Ying then turned and walked away, after taking a few steps, she realized that her side was empty, Chef was rooted to the ground and did not follow. Hence she turned back again and called out, “Chef?”

Yi Qing was in a daze before he had a rude awakening and caught up quickly. “Master!”

“Let’s go, we’re going home.” With that said, she turned back and looked towards the person holding a stack of white notes at the table. “Father Niu.”

“Coming!” Lonemoon then stood up and said to everyone at the mahjong table with a bright smile. “Seniors, we will meet another day!”

Everyone’s mouth twitched. The man who was scratching his foot earlier even blurted out, “It’s better if we don’t!”

If they continue losing, they would be paying right down to their underpants.

“By the way, Brother.” He could not help but ask, “Before you became a manager, what work did you do?” Superb with mahjong and even took advantage of the occasion to loan money.

“Nothing much, just operated a small company.”

“Oh...”

“Then, accidentally became the richest man in the world.”

The man: “...”

Everyone: “...”

They did not know whether to vocalize the curses they had in their heart!

Divine Realm.

“Master, the pastries are done.” Chef walked over and placed a plate of freshly made pastries on the table.

“Oh, Ch...” Shen Ying nodded, just as she was about to say something, she realized that Chef had already returned to the kitchen and was starting to cook with his spatula, only his eyes weren’t on the pot, no one knew where he was looking at but he simply stared on for a long time.

Shen Ying cocked her head to the side and turned towards Lonemoon, asking, “Father Niu, what’s wrong with Chef?”

Lonemoon faltered before following along her line of vision and taking a glance. “What’s wrong? Isn’t he fine?”

“He added salt three times to that spicy stir-fried pork.”

“...” Lonemoon frowned, taking a closer look at the person in the kitchen, he questioned back, as if having recalled something. “What’s wrong with him? Do you not know?”

“Am I supposed to know?”

“Are you not supposed to know?”

“... Are you a voice recorder?”
