Chapter 622: 629 New Ways of Interaction_1

To show her gentle and loving side, Zhou Ziqing was reverential towards the whole family every day. She whipped up breakfast in the morning and cooked dinner in the evening, and even if it were only the grandparents at home during noon, she’d prepare their meals perfectly, making them tasty and soft!

The two elders quite enjoyed the food, but they never complimented her.

After a week, Zhou Ziqing was a bit resentful and somewhat angry.

Finding an opportunity, she vented to Qin Gang. "I’m so angry! Just look at your parents! They treat me like a servant. It’s not enough that I make pancakes for them, but then they asked me to fetch the pepper and rice vinegar. And they didn’t say a word. I’m not asking for compliments, but a simple thank you is the least they could say, right? They don’t have that courtesy either! They think others treating them well is just normal, don’t they?"

"Goodness... They’re pretty old, why bother complaining?" Qin Gang, trying to wrestle her down to the bed, said while holding Zhou Ziqing’s arm.

Zhou Ziqing jerked away, not letting him have his way. "Hey! I’m trying to talk to you. Can you stop thinking about this nonsense for a second?"

"How can I not think about it? I’ve been able to see you every day these past few days yet unable to do anything. You have no idea how impatient I’ve been. Just the moment you walked in the door, my ’little brother’ couldn’t wait any longer!" Qin Gang complained hurriedly.

Zhou Ziqing glanced at him, and sure enough, he was raring to go.

Upon closer inspection, it really stirred up some... carnal desires.

Truth be told, although Qin Gang wasn’t young anymore, he was still well-maintained. His performance in bed was second to none even compared to the younger guys. He could always make her lose herself completely in the moment.

Perhaps it was precisely this that made her willingly maintain their relationship for so long.

"Annoying!" She gave him another annoyed look. The seductive expression on her face was enticing. "Listen, I’m feeling vexed right now. I’m serving your entire family. If you don’t make me happy now, you’re not getting what you want!"

"What do you want then? A ring, or a necklace?"

"I don’t want either!" Zhou Ziqing replied without interest.

"Then you tell me!"

"Um..." Zhou Ziqing pondered for a while, then continued, "A friend of mine asked me to help get some cases of milk powder. Do you think you could be of help?"

Qin Gang looked troubled. "I can’t. That’s too much. It’s easy to get into trouble!"

"Oh my..." Zhou Ziqing pulled on Qin Gang’s arm. "Look at you, being so stingy with me despite claiming that you like me!"

"Smuggling can be a big or small issue. While I could handle it, it wouldn’t look good. If I lose my job over this, what are you going to live on?" Qin Gang flatly refused, not giving her a chance to negotiate.

Seeing that her request was impossible, Zhou Ziqing didn’t push it further. "If you don’t help me, you don’t get to touch me either!"

"Can’t touch you? It seems I’ve been too nice to you recently, allowing you to speak to me like this! No way, I have to discipline you today..." Qin Gang threatened.

Zhou Ziqing just kept laughing...

Lin Xiangwan didn’t know what Qin Muchuan was up to. He didn’t mention that he would take her home and he didn’t confess his feelings for her again.

But he did come to check on her everyday and asked about how the store was doing.

Lin Xiangwan reported to him like a subordinate would.

She wasn’t sure if she had become overly reliant on him from the start, or if she, herself, was just too naive. Either way, she gradually became accustomed to his presence and his opinions.

For example, when she felt confident about a certain plan, she still wanted to discuss it with him. If he approved, her confidence would double.

If he disagreed, she’d be able to accept his suggestions.

After hearing her out, Qin Muchuan didn’t look very pleased. He struggled to understand. "I don’t think your plan will work. It’s the weekend; everyone wants to rest, not work. Your event has no appeal!"

"Then we’ll switch to working hours!" Lin Xiangwan hastily suggested.

"That’s worse. Everyone is busy working during work hours; who will attend your event then?" Qin Muchuan negated her idea again.

Lin Xiangwan rolled her eyes at him, questioning, "So it’s not okay during work hours and it’s not okay during rest hours either? Then tell me when it is okay to have the event?"

Qin Muchuan shot her a look back and said dismissively, "What I mean is, your idea itself is flawed! Seriously, what’s going on in your head? This isn’t catering that you’re doing. You’re acting like a kindergarten teacher. If you can’t make it work, just start a kindergarten instead!"

Lin Xiangwan flushed with embarrassment, then went pale.

She was furious and wanted to yell at him.

But she knew that he was only trying to help her.

If this plan didn’t work, she’d have to devise a new one.

Feeling deflated, Lin Xiangwan confessed, "Although my shop has a reasonable turnout every day and the seats are always quite filled, I’m not satisfied. I’m not content with an income of 2000 Yuan a day."

"Hmm... you shouldn’t be content. A daily income of 2000 Yuan, at most 60,000 Yuan a month, doesn’t match your qualifications and experience!"

"Yes, I want to do better!" Lin Xiangwan expressed anxiously.

"But your shop has just opened. It hasn’t even been a full month of trial operations yet. Already making this much is quite impressive. You can’t press for success. Opportunities will come your way!" Instead of consoling her, Qin Muchuan was trying to make her see logic.

"Opportunities, when will I get that opportunity?"

She didn’t just want to sell Spicy Hot Pot or fast food. What she wanted to build was a cultural brand, a chain business – she wanted to accumulate wealth!

She was nearly thirty years old already. If she didn’t put in the effort now, how far away was she from her goal?

Qin Muchuan took a look around. "If you want to expand your business, you at least need to enlarge your storefront. But the shops next door have been sold and are in operation. That limits how much you can do with the location!"

Lin Xiangwan nodded. "Yes, when I purchased the space, I was afraid I would burn money. I didn’t buy the extra store spaces. Su Yueze even persuaded me to do so back then. But I can’t change the location now. I have just steadily built my reputation!"

Qin Muchuan glanced out again. "Don’t worry. If you have a knack for making money, these problems will resolve themselves eventually."

"But what if I’m unlucky?"

Qin Muchuan laughed. "If you’re unlucky, then you can come to work for me!"

"Work for you?"

"Why not? You studied finance, and my business is finance. There are so many opportunities where you can shine, don’t you agree?"

Lin Xiangwan pondered and then shook her head, "I don’t even want your wife’s position, let alone work for you. Would I not be stupid to do that?"
