Chapter 6

Aunt Liang wrapped the duck nicely and also included a bag of duck heads as a treat for Dabao to gnaw on. Xu Nuo tossed everything to Lin Tianxing to carry and skipped back happily.

She left early in the morning. Aunt Liang's expression was somewhat displeased, "Qiu Xiaoman called early in the morning to take him away, and I don't know what it's about. It's really frustrating; he rarely comes home and doesn't even come to the shop to help out."

Promising not to pay him any attention, she sighed while looking at the single earring in her hand, "What will happen if Hao Ge finds out?"

Aunt Liang saw Xu Nuo, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Nuo Nuo, Hao Ge told me yesterday that you have returned, and you came today! Have you eaten yet?"

Xu Nuo snorted coldly, "Here you go, but it will all be deducted for accommodation and meals, not a single cent will reach your hands"

Aunt Xu asked, "What’s wrong? Are these earrings very expensive?"

The story of the two individuals is quite reminiscent of the popular Korean dramas of the time. Qiu Xiaoman is exceptionally beautiful, with porcelain-white skin, willow-like eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a slender figure, embodying both purity and a hint of allure. Qin Haoge is also handsome, exuding an air of scholarly elegance, gentle and refined. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts, their lives intertwined with twists and turns, sharing both joys and hardships, and the opposition from their parents only serves to strengthen their bond, making their love more precious than gold and deeper than the sea

Lin Tianxing was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "I won't help! You go ahead with your own business!"

Uncle Liu looked up at him, his eyes wide with surprise, and exclaimed, "Nono, is this your boyfriend?"

Aunt Liang is Qin Haoge's mother. She does not like Qiu Xiaoman, and this is no secret. Qiu Xiaoman's mother abandoned her daughter and husband years ago to run off with a businessman from Shanghai, a scandal known to everyone in the town. Qin's father passed away early, and Aunt Liang raised her son on her own, naturally hoping he would find a girl from a better family.

Mother Xu, holding a basket of clothes to be washed, called out to Xu Nuo, "Girl, is this earring yours?"

Upon returning home, Dabaor was the first to greet him, opening his mouth wide to reveal his buck teeth. Lin Tianxing could not withstand this visual shock and hurriedly rushed into the kitchen with the duck in hand. Dabaor did not forget to call out to him a couple of times, then clung to Xunuo's leg

Aunt Liang chuckled and, with a swift motion of her knife, chopped off two golden roasted duck legs and handed them over. Xu Nuo generously shared one with Lin Tianxing

The guests particularly enjoy the service provided by Xiaolin, and everyone is all smiles. The female guests love to engage him in conversation, asking him various questions. The older ones inquire about his age and whether he has a partner, while the younger ones ask about his place of origin and if he has QQ, email, or a mobile number

Liu Jincheng, who was secretly watching at the stairway, told him: "That is my biological father, Xu Nuo's stepfather."

Xu Nuo nodded repeatedly and mocked, "You haven't even become a leader yet, and you already have the demeanor of one. I may not know the importance of management talent, but I understand the value of working diligently. Right now, you are working in my home; you are the laborer, and I am the capitalist. You better behave and do your job, or I might fire you and leave you to sleep on the streets"

"Are you trying to scare the child?" Lin Tianxing said disdainfully, "I can already smell the aroma of roasted duck."

Liu Jincheng interjected as the narrator, "Her first love, the object of her unrequited affection"

Upon seeing him, Xunuo was struck by inspiration and exclaimed loudly: "You!"

The aunt is likely feeling so pleased that her menopausal anxiety has subsided. However, Xu Nuo truly cannot bear to watch any longer and quickly gathers her things to leave

Who is Hao Ge? Lin Tianxing is quite gossipy

Xu Nuo glared at him, "Who asked you to deliver? Where did you get the money from?"

Lin Tianxing looked at his back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Nuo was taken aback for a moment before reacting, and hurriedly rushed over to snatch the earring from her mother's hand. It was the very earring that Qin Haoge had given her yesterday

Stepfather. Xu Nuo and her father were laughing and joking, clearly having a very good relationship. Lin Tianxing watched, feeling both surprised and envious

"Who knows?" Mother Xu flipped through the skirt that Xu Nuo had changed out of yesterday, "I only found this one in the pocket. You are such a careless child."

"I thought it was something serious," Lin Tianxing said, feeling disoriented from the shaking. He hurriedly reassured her, "If you lost it, then just let it go. I'll buy you another one later."

Promise to scare him: "Trick you into a corner and sell you to traffickers"

Xu Nuo said: "I am studying Advertising and Media in my second year at C University. What about you?"

In fact, Qiu Xiaoman was bullied a lot since childhood due to her background. Whenever that happened, Xu Nuo and Qin Haoge would come out to stand up for her. Xu Nuo's fighting skills were honed during those times. Naturally, the relationship between Qin Haoge and Qiu Xiaoman developed through these interactions.

From afternoon to evening, it is the busiest time at the inn, and Xu Nuo naturally runs back and forth, busy to the point of sweating profusely. What surprises Xu Nuo is Lin Tianxing

C University is a good school. I am from N University, and I completed a five-year primary education, so I am currently in my third year of university, studying economics and management

Lin Tianxing asked: "Where do you attend university, what year are you in, and what is your major?"

Xu Nuo, undeterred, rummaged through the entire laundry basket but still could not find it. Her complexion immediately changed from red to pale.

Xu Nuo shamelessly said, "I can still eat a bit more"

Is Uncle Liu back? Xu Nuo seemed quite happy and ran downstairs

Xu Nuo was on the verge of tears, "Earring, my earring." She waved the remaining earring in front of Lin Tianxing, shaking him vigorously with one hand.

Promise, quickly grab him, "It’s you! Yesterday! In the water! It must have fallen into the water!"

"Eat, and you will know what it means to eat." Xu Nuo tossed it a duck's head. Da Bao picked it up and ran away joyfully.

Xiao Linzi! Xiao Linzi walked over with gritted teeth, lifting two large bags of pork, and stomped back to the kitchen

Lin Tianxing hummed, "Ignorant and foolish. A company, apart from its operational staff, requires a certain number of managerial talents. Without talents like us, even the best employees would be nothing more than a scattered bunch."

Liang Ji Roast Duck is just around the corner, and business is as good as ever, with at least twenty customers lined up at the entrance. The staff is busy, sweating profusely.

Tender? The tofu from our store's staff must also be recorded in the accounts

Xu Nuo laughed: "This is important. However, there are the most of you studying this major, like scattering sesame seeds on the street. I have always found it strange, where are so many companies for you to manage?"

Finally, an elderly woman couldn't help but touch Lin Tianxing's face and then expressed her thoughts: "Oh, what a tender child!"

"What fell into the water?" Lin Tianxing did not understand.

Uncle Liu saw Xu Nuo and broke into a kind smile, "Nuo Nuo is back. Come, come, come, I attended a meeting in the county yesterday and received a thermos. You can take it and use it."

Yet Lin Tianxing still wore a look of someone who had lacked maternal love since childhood, stubbornly insisting that the woman was only in her thirties. Ignoring the passage of over twenty years, he even claimed that she could only be his older sister due to her appearance.

"Why is there only one?" Xu Nuo's face turned red with anxiety, "What about the other one?"

Lin Tianxing followed along and asked with a helpful demeanor, "What are you looking for? Do you need my assistance?"

Aunt Liang wrapped the duck in oil paper while sizing up Lin Tianxing, "Is this your classmate? What do they eat to look so good? They could go act in a television show."

How can this be? Lin Tianxing suddenly wore a face of grief and indignation, "The evil feudalism!"

After passing a beautifully crafted new bridge, they entered another commercial area, where Xu Nuo led Lin Tianxing through this maze-like place, turning left and right. Lin Tianxing quickly became disoriented.

Lin Tianxing's nose flared as if he were a typical landlady

He somehow found a white apron, tied it around his waist, stood up straight, and his beautiful face gained an added touch of elegance. The originally shabby server's uniform now appeared much more pleasing to the eye.

Promising to help him carry things, they chatted about everyday matters. Lin Tianxing watched from the side, his gaze somewhat peculiar

"Where is it? It's the new employee in the store," Xu Nuo said, "Is Hao Ge at home?"

Father... Father! Liu Jincheng spoke incoherently, "I went to memorize vocabulary!"

Outside the inn, a nearly new silver Buick was parked, and a middle-aged man was pulling things out of the trunk. Lin Tianxing was startled at first glance, thinking that Liu Jincheng had suddenly aged thirty years and gained thirty pounds.

Logically speaking, this young man from the city, whose fingernails are all neatly trimmed, would be lucky to carry anything, and one would not expect him to be of any help. However, to my surprise, Xiao Lin not only served tea and water with great efficiency, but he also quickly mastered taking orders and delivering dishes, performing his tasks with remarkable skill

As Xu Nuo wiped the table, he watched Lin Tianxing being surrounded by a group of female humans, a satisfied smile of happiness rippling across his handsome face, as shameless as one could be, as lewd as one could be

Lin Tianxing asked: "I work at your home, do you not pay me?"

Xu Nuo summoned his inner strength, his palms turning red, and Liu Jincheng darted down the stairs like a flash. Three seconds later, he fled back as if running for his life

Qiu Xiaoman is astute and meticulous in her calculations, adept at leveraging the interpersonal relationships around her. She is also beautiful and has a wide social circle, which inevitably leads to some unpleasant rumors. Aunt Liang, being a conservative and honest person, dislikes her even more.

Xu Nuo almost fell, and Lin Shuai's cool expression could no longer be maintained. Xu Nuo said: "Where is the new guy in the store? Come on, Xiao Lin, why are you just standing there? Help carry the things!"

Without a word, Xu Nuo rushed back into the room, turning everything upside down in a frantic search, with pillows and blankets strewn all over the floor, as if a typhoon had swept through the room
