“Waiter, please bring a towel that can absorb water well!”

Seeing that Hu Guo did not say anything, Yun Xi snapped her fingers and let the waiter walk into the private room.

“Okay, boss.”

The waiter who walked into the private room was still the same waiter who splashed the hot soup on Hu Quan’s body. The waiter could be considered to have witnessed the whole process of Yun Xi purchasing this roast duck restaurant with his own eyes. Now, he naturally knew who to call ‘boss’.

“What?” Hu Guo was unhappy again.

!!

“You just burned my father’s face, and you only referred to us as customers. Now, she’s just asking you to pass her a towel, and you actually call this person the boss. We are the capital, and we don’t follow this type of appellation.”

Hu Guo wanted to correct the waiter’s appellation, but she did not expect Yun Xi would become the actual boss of this restaurant in such a short time.

“No, this customer! The boss I’m talking about is not a form of respect to the customer, but Miss Yun Xi is the boss of our shop.”

The waiter said this in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

“What?!” This time, it was Hu Quan’s turn to be shocked.

Zhou Lin also turned to look at Yun Xi.

Yun Xi gave Zhou Lin a look, hinting that what the waiter said was true.

Zhou Lin was a smart man. He immediately thought of why Yun Xi took so long to return to the private room just now!

“Ah Nan, you can go and serve the other customers first. I can explain this to Uncle Hu’s family.” Ah Nan had already played his role.

“It’s like this. I saw the shop owner arguing with his son just now and wanted to sell this shop, so I bought this shop directly. Next time you two want to come and taste this delicious roast duck, you can mention my name directly. When that time comes, it won’t be a discount but a free meal.”

Although Yun Xi said so, she was certain that a proud person like Hu Guo would definitely not come to this roast duck shop again. The so-called free meal was just a casual remark.

Hu Guo was extremely jealous. She did not expect a university student from a small city to have such deep financial resources. She had really misjudged before!

“I didn’t expect sister Yun Xi to be so young and promising. You’ve taken the path of a businesswoman so well at such a young age. I think you will become a particularly powerful businesswoman in the future!”

Hu Guo deliberately emphasized the word ‘businesswoman’. People like them who were engaged in politics and military affairs were obviously not on the same level as businessmen. Although there was no such obvious hierarchy between soldiers, workers, peasants, and businessmen, soldiers and businessmen were also on different levels.

Hu Guo was still hinting that Zhou Lin and Yun Xi were on different levels and would not be able to walk together in the future.

Yun Xi only slightly raised the corners of her lips. She saw a hint of Yun Lian’s behavior in Hu Guo, but this Hu Guo was a little more brilliant than Yun Lian.

Yun Lian only knew how to pretend to be pitiful, but Hu Guo still had some wisdom.

The few of them each had their own ulterior motives after eating the roast duck. Hu Quan arranged for them to live in his own home.

Hu Quan’s wife, Wu Qian, was a docent at the capital museum. The family had bought a house outside instead of living in the military compound, in order to make it convenient for Wu Qian to go to work!

“The rooms in the house are not very big, so I’m sorry to trouble the two of you to temporarily stay here tonight!” Hu Quan said modestly.

In fact, the house in Hu Quan’s house was still very big, with three bedrooms.

Although the current house price was not as high as it would be in the future, it was still very good to be able to buy such a big house in the capital.

“Sister Yun Xi is not brother Zhou Lin’s wife after all. It’s not good for the two of you to sleep on the same bed in my house. If Sister Yun Xi doesn’t mind, you can sleep in the same room with me tonight.”

Hu Guo still did not want to see Yun Xi and Zhou Lin sleeping together.

Hu Guo’s words were very polite. Yun Xi had no way to refuse, so she could only reluctantly agree!

“Alright then!”

Hu Guo thought that she had maintained the image of a reserved lady in front of Zhou Lin. Little did she know that Zhou Lin had already cut Hu Guo into a thousand pieces in his heart many times.
