Liao Yi used to always interact with kids, her thoughts were indeed simple.
She was enthusiastic about starting a business, but ended up being backstabbed by a friend.
After Lin Zhiyi waited for her mood to calm down, she looked at her and said, "Do you think we’re all pushovers?"
Liao Yi knew upon hearing this, the problem could be solved.
"Zhiyi, thank you all, I must thank you properly."
"What’s with the formality among good friends? Let’s go, pay the bill first, I’ll get some help for you!"
Mentioning getting help, Liao Yi was a bit stunned.
Soon, two more cars appeared at the mall entrance.
Seeing who got out of the cars, Liao Yi was almost moved to tears.
"Assistant Chen, Doctor Li, Miss Ren, boohoo..."
Liao Yi rushed over wanting to hug them, but stopped in front of Chen Jin.
No, it’s not right.
She then opened her arms towards Li Huan, seeing Ren Xiya standing beside him.
Still not right.
She let out a cry and hugged Ren Xiya instead.
"Miss Ren..."
"This dress costs thirty-seven thousand, it can’t get wet," Ren Xiya stated calmly.
"I... thank you."
Liao Yi quickly wiped her tears, afraid they might drip onto Ren Xiya’s dress.
"Look at you, what’s there to cry about, I thought it was something big."
Ren Xiya leaned against the car door, indifferent.
Liao Yi pressed her lips together but felt very happy inside.
Turns out everyone is willing to help her.
Chen Jin checked his watch: "I took a two-hour leave, let’s get this done quickly."
Liao Yi snapped back to reality: "Alright, let’s go to the restaurant now."
...
At the restaurant.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t let Liao Yi follow inside.
But went in with the others first.
Before leaving, Liao Yi was a bit worried.
"Zhiyi, don’t argue with them, if they make a scene, it might be bad for you and your studio."
"Don’t worry, they can’t harm me."
"Mm."
Liao Yi let go with relief.
After Lin Zhiyi and the others entered, the restaurant manager glanced at them and immediately approached.
"Miss Lin, welcome, our boss is here, I’ll inform them right away."
"Great, thank you, we wanted to see your boss as well," Lin Zhiyi smiled.
The manager led them to their seats.
The surroundings were excellent.
Designed by Liao Yi based on an art gallery, it catered to the taste of today’s young people.
Everything in the restaurant, from the layout to the paintings, was personally overseen by Liao Yi.
It was evident how much she loved the restaurant.
Ren Xiya lifted the cup in front of her to have a look.
"Last time you invited me here, I thought those two women were fake. They couldn’t even explain what the painting on this cup meant, clearly showing they hadn’t contributed much to the restaurant. They just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of others’ labor."
Chen Jin said, "Liao Yi contributed the most money, but considering they were friends, the contract was imperfect. That’s where the problem lies. The division of the restaurant is flawed."
Li Huan agreed, "I heard from Liao Yi, it was also those women who urged her to start the restaurant. This type of restaurant is currently popular in Jing City."
"Ha," Ren Xiya sneered, "The word ’currently popular’ is the scariest part. How many trendy restaurants have you seen last long? This place is great for girls to take pictures, but the essence of a restaurant should be the food."
The two of them complemented each other, making Liao Yi sound irresponsible.
The manager beside them nodded vigorously, "The two bosses are indeed very hardworking, that’s why our restaurant is so popular."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked up at the manager.
"Two bosses, huh."
The manager gave an awkward smile and said no more.
Lin Zhiyi exchanged glances with the others.
It seemed the restaurant staff also didn’t respect Liao Yi.
Then this restaurant really wasn’t worth fighting for.
Lin Zhiyi lowered her head and sent Liao Yi a message.
When Liao Yi came in, the two women were eagerly introducing dishes to Lin Zhiyi and the others.
"These are our newly designed dishes, using various jams on cakes, like oil paintings, paired with afternoon tea, not greasy at all."
Liao Yi, slightly angry, asked, "Since when were these designs by you two?"
The two turned around, a bit startled, then looked at Liao Yi reproachfully.
"Liao Yi, there are guests here, even if they are your friends, it’s very impolite of you."
"Isn’t stealing someone else’s design rude? You got one thing right, they are indeed my friends."
Liao Yi sat down directly.
The women looked at each other, realizing something.
One of them asked, "Liao Yi, what do you mean by that?"
Liao Yi said directly, "Since you dislike my presence so much, I will withdraw my share."
"Withdraw your share?" The two were taken aback for a moment before feigning difficulty, "Well... okay, if you’re uncomfortable, then go ahead."
As they spoke, they exchanged glances filled with unmistakable joy.
Just like the pride ingrained in the store atmosphere.
It seemed to say, see, I knew she’d eventually find it unbearable to stay.
