"Here, have some water." Xu Niannian quickly poured her a cup of tea.

Fortunately, there was a pot of tea on every table here.

"Thank you," Zuo Qing said as she hastily took a sip.

Sharing her troubles, Zuo Qing felt much better.

At least she didn’t feel as stifled and uncomfortable as before.

Indeed, when someone has worries on their mind, it’s still better to talk about them.

She had a very good impression of Xu Niannian.

"I’ve made a fool of myself. Thank you very much. We’re strangers who met by chance, and yet you took the time to listen to me," she said.

After Zuo Qing’s emotions had somewhat stabilized, she felt a little embarrassed.

After all, she wasn’t very familiar with the other person.

Zuo Qing felt that she had a good connection with the beautiful woman in front of her, so she asked, "What’s your name? Can we be friends?"

Xu Niannian nodded, smiling and extending her hand to Zuo Qing: "Xu Niannian."

"You have the Xu surname too?"

In reality, there were many with the surname Xu, but because her godfather’s surname was Xu, Zuo Qing paid extra attention to it.

"Do you know anyone else with the surname Xu?" Xu Niannian asked curiously.

"My godfather’s surname is Xu," Zuo Qing replied with a smile.

Xu Niannian: "That’s quite a coincidence."

After chatting with Zuo Qing for a while, Xu Niannian actually had other matters to attend to, but seeing that Zuo Qing showed no signs of leaving, and Zhou Dinghua was still busy, Xu Niannian spent the afternoon talking with Zuo Qing.

Since she had nothing better to do anyway, Xu Niannian didn’t think Zuo Qing was too talkative.

Even though she did talk a lot today, her voice was always so gentle and soft, making one feel comfortable instead of annoyed.

"I’m rather troubled now and don’t really feel like going home," Zuo Qing said, looking out the window.

"Is it because of your niece?" Xu Niannian asked her.

Zuo Qing nodded her head: "Yes, I can’t bring myself to disrupt the development of their relationship, but I also can’t bring myself to like her."

That’s human nature.

Xu Niannian felt that was normal.

"If you don’t like someone, there’s no need to force yourself to feel otherwise."

Zuo Qing felt Xu Niannian had a very unique temperament, as if she saw every problem as a simple one.

She smiled: "You’re right. Since I don’t like her, I won’t force myself to."

At this point, Zuo Qing changed the subject: "Do you know any way to forget one’s troubles in a short period of time?"

Xu Niannian: "Alcohol..."

She wasn’t too sure herself, since in her previous life, when she encountered a bottleneck in her career and felt frustrated, she would drink to temporarily forget her troubles.

Although she would still be troubled the next morning, at least she could forget everything while she was drunk.

She just didn’t know if this worked for those heartbroken over love affairs.

After all, she had never experienced heartbreak.

"Alcohol?" Zuo Qing pursed her lips, stood up, and said, "I’ll give it a try, thank you. I really enjoyed our talk today. It’s getting late, I should go now. Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Xu Niannian waved to her.

Zuo Qing walked to the door and then ran back.

Xu Niannian raised an eyebrow: "Is there something else?"

Zuo Qing smiled: "Oh, right, we’re friends now, aren’t we?"

Xu Niannian hesitated and then nodded: "I suppose so."

Though the answer was not entirely satisfying, Zuo Qing still felt very happy.

She smiled at Xu Niannian: "Where do you live? I could come to see you."

Xu Niannian didn’t really want to give Zuo Qing the address of the Jin Family, as it was not her own place.

"If you want to find me later, just come to this shop. It’s mine. If I’m not here, just tell Boss Zhou to set up a time," she said.

"Okay." Zuo Qing didn’t press Xu Niannian any further. Hearing that Xu Niannian owned the shop surprised Zuo Qing for a moment, but she didn’t ask anything more.

After Zuo Qing left, Xu Niannian saw Zhou Dinghua was still busy. With no choice, she went over and said, "Hire more staff later on; don’t think about saving money all the time."

A boss should act like a boss.

Otherwise, whenever she came looking for him, he was always too busy to spare any time, which was not a good sign.

She wanted a general agent who could handle responsibilities, not just a small shop owner who sold goods.

Zhou Dinghua found a moment to reply to Xu Niannian: "Okay, boss, I’ve already started hiring people recently."

Jin Ruiyang, who had been stabbed in the buttocks, successfully made a trip to the hospital. After being bandaged, Jin Ruiyang walked with a slight limp.

Jin Yu was supporting him. There were too many nurses in the hospital, and Jin Ruiyang, who cared a lot about face, stubbornly walked with a normal gait without Jin Yu’s help.

His pace, however, was exaggeratedly slow.

"Are you a turtle?" Jin Yu snapped, grabbing Jin Ruiyang’s hand, intending to carry him back.

Jin Ruiyang, knowing Jin Yu’s brutal nature, hurriedly said before Jin Yu reached him, "Don’t touch me, or I’ll get mad at you."

"Then you better walk faster," Jin Yu said impatiently, feeling like slapping him.

Jin Ruiyang stepped too heavily and gasped from pain, sweat beading on his forehead.

After the pain subsided, Jin Ruiyang said slowly, "Who do I thank for this?"

"Hands-on sparring, and you zone out. Whose fault do you think it is?" Jin Yu asked with a sidelong glance.

Jin Ruiyang: "..."

Who knew why he suddenly zoned out.
