The cool moonlight shone on the water, casting a semicircular reflection in the shimmering waves.

Ye Xiaojing looked at the reflection silently, and after a long time, she said faintly: "Ah Wei, how difficult the process of starting a business is, I can imagine it without actual experience, I remember that you once told me before that you just want to be a happy pastry chef in your life, and bring happiness to people with those sweet pastries." If you choose to enter the battlefield without gunpowder to fight now, is this really what you want? ”

Xu Dawei was slightly stunned, but he immediately said: "But Xiaojing, for you, I am willing to do anything!" ”

Ye Xiaojing shook her head and continued: "Ah Wei, think about your parents again, how can you let two old people who are over half a hundred years old suffer together because of me?" And that Zhang Zhenmei, I can see that she really likes you-"

Xu Dawei hurriedly said: "Xiaojing, don't care, Xiaomei and I are just neighbors from childhood to adulthood, and I really don't have that kind of relationship with her." ”

"So Ah Wei, have you ever asked me if I like you or not?" Ye Xiaojing sighed in her heart, do you still have to come to this point after all?

This sentence made Xu Dawei obviously stunned for a moment, he was silent for a while, and then asked with difficulty in a trembling tone: "Xiaojing, you-you, don't you like me?" ”

Whether Ye Xiaojing has a good impression of herself, Xu Dawei is actually not completely unfeeling, but because he is afraid of the truth that he vaguely feels in his heart, he has always used the excuse that girls are easier to be shy to deceive himself.

Ye Xiaojing said softly: "Because of the inconvenience of my calves, I have never had any friends, so when I met you in Guan's, I was really happy!" In the days that followed, you continued to help me and take care of me, and if it was possible in this life, I really want to repay you! However, there really can't be a force in feelings—"

"It turns out that Xiaojing, you really don't like me!" Xu Dawei hugged his head in pain.

"I'm sorry Ah Wei, I know that my answer disappointed you, but I am not your ideal partner from an emotional or practical point of view, so don't waste any more time on me." Xu Dawei's pain made Ye Xiaojing feel helpless, but she couldn't lie to him.

Ye Xiaojing raised her hand and wanted to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but she hesitated for a few seconds, and then put down her outstretched hand: "Ah Wei, you are a kind and righteous person, I believe that people like you will definitely be able to find their own happiness, think about Zhang Zhenmei, the girl who has always been by your side, she is worthy of your feelings!" ”

Looking at Xu Dawei, who was immersed in sadness, Ye Xiaojing left quietly without saying anything, although Ah Wei needs comfort very much now, but the person who comforts him should not be her.

It's just that I really don't want to lose your good friend!

It was already late when she returned to Cheng's house, Ye Xiaojing came to the kitchen and hurriedly cooked a small bowl of sesame oil noodles for Cheng Qixin to send for supper.

"Why did you come back so late and go home?" Putting down the documents in his hand, Cheng Qixin glanced at the bowl of noodles that looked like they were selling well, and asked casually.

"I went to visit a friend who made pastries—" Ye Xiaojing said listlessly.

This answer made Cheng Qixin smile slightly, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to have such a friend, it seems that I was a little careless." ”

Since she had not yet recovered from the guilt of rejecting Xu Dawei, Ye Xiaojing did not hear the flaws in Cheng Qixin's words, put the empty bowl back on the plate, she thought about it, and asked Cheng Qixin: "Young master, can you give me a few more days when it comes to making pastries?" ”

"Yes! That's right-" As if he suddenly remembered something, Cheng Qixin stopped Ye Xiaojing, who was about to leave, and said, "Ye Xiaojing, you will participate in tomorrow's pre-bid Q&A meeting!" ”

"Can I go?" Knowing that Cheng Qixin took this project very seriously, there was a trace of hesitation in Ye Xiaojing's voice.

Cheng Qixin nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, you just need to report to me the general content of the Q&A meeting; I have two important meetings to go tomorrow, and I can't take a break. ”

"I see!" Seeing that Cheng Qixin didn't have anything to say, Ye Xiaojing left with a plate.

Because Cheng Qixin fancy the project he wants to bid for is about to start, many departments of the company are busy, and Cheng Qixin, as the general manager of Cheng's, is even more tired of sleep, but in this way, Cheng Qixin's disease that was originally suppressed by drugs seems to have a tendency to attack again.

Seeing that her grandson had started to cough frequently recently, Mrs. Cheng was very worried, and she asked Cheng Qixin to put down her work and rest for a few days, but how could it be?

Since Cheng Qixin took office, with his extraordinary financial knowledge and shrewd mind, he has discovered many problems and loopholes within Cheng's family, especially recently, he has found out that the company has a huge financial deficit; It can be said that the current Cheng family seems to be a huge group company on the outside, but the internal reality has long been full of holes and vulnerability; Not to mention that there are other directors of the company who have different intentions and are eyeing the shares held by the Cheng family.

Under such circumstances, rest is really too a luxury for Cheng Qixin.

Compared with Cheng Qixin's hard work, Ye Xiaojing, as the assistant to the general manager and personal maid, is more labor, in addition to facing the trivial tasks assigned to her by Cheng Qixin in the company, when she returns to Cheng's house, she also has to take time to learn to make various pastries with Sister-in-law Zhou.

Despite her hard work, after three days, Ye Xiaojing's dim sum making level has not improved much.

Looking at the fourth plate of baked bread that had just come out of the oven, Ye Xiaojing finally became depressed: "Sister-in-law Zhou, am I too stupid?" You can't even make such a simple bread! ”

"Ouch, I said Ye Xiaojing, where is there such an easy thing! I think at the beginning, I studied with my master for two whole years before I became a teacher, how long have you been studying? Sister-in-law Zhou said loudly while fanning her nose with her hand.

"I also know that I shouldn't be too anxious, but the problem is that the young master can't afford to wait!" Ye Xiaojing said with a depressed face.

"The young master is really, why are you always so embarrassed! I think so, you don't have to bother to learn, when the young master wants to eat pastries in the future, you can just bring him the ones I made. Sister-in-law Zhou said briskly.

"Is that good?" This idea made Ye Xiaojing's eyes widen, isn't this a lie?

"What's so bad? You just say that you made it, where can he eat it, young master! ”
