Han Dong looked at the plate of pastries in front of him, wondering whether the greasy and disgusting thing Li Mingxia was talking about was the pastries or himself. But it didn't matter anymore, and Han Dong didn't dare to ask.

After hurriedly picking up the pastries, Han Dong left the room without looking back. When the cold air outside hit his body and he felt chilled to the bone, he realized belatedly that he had sweated so much.

Li Mingxia lowered her head and continued to drink the tea in her hand. Looking at Zhang's silence, she was still feeling uncomfortable because of Han Dong's words just now.

"Mom, don't worry. Han Dong is not a fool. He knows what he can say and what he cannot say. Besides, no one will believe this kind of thing even if he tells others." Li Mingxia said with a smile.

I am not a well-known figure. This is just a small town, not a large mansion. Spreading rumors to destroy someone's reputation is too outrageous and basically will not happen.

Zhang nodded, "It's okay as long as you know what's going on. Mother knows that you are not the kind of child who doesn't take things lightly."

Li Mingxia felt relieved when she saw that Zhang was speaking from the heart. She smiled and said, "Xiao Tao brought a lot of cakes with her when she came out. Mom, are you hungry? If you are, I'll ask Hu Zi to get some from the car."

Hu Zi and Xiao Tao were not in the house. One was watching things in the carriage, and the other had gone to visit an old friend with Li Mingxia's permission.

Zhang shook her head. She had originally been thinking about eating something, but after what had just happened, she was already very angry. How could she eat anything?

"Mingxia, if you have someone you like, no matter what his or her identity, just tell me directly. You know, I don't care about those things." Zhang hesitated for a while, but still lowered her voice and said this to Li Mingxia.

From the moment she accepted Li Mingxia's words about marrying into the wife's family and not wanting to get married unless she met someone she loved, Zhang felt that she had suddenly become more open-minded.

She was so angry just now because she knew that her daughter had no feelings for Shen Xing. This was a slander against her daughter, which she definitely could not tolerate. However, if her daughter really liked Shen Xing, Zhang would not have any objection at all.

She didn't care about the relationship between master and servant. As long as her daughter was willing, the boss was good to her and had decent character, any identity would be fine.

Li Mingxia laughed, "I thought mother would say those people were not worthy of my status."

Those people refer to those with the same identity as Shen Xing.

Zhang nodded after hearing this, but then shook her head.

"I do think that others are not worthy of you, but it's not because of status or not. I just think that my daughter is good and no one is worthy of her."

Li Mingxia picked up the teacup and handed it to Zhang. "Have a sip of tea, mother. Don't worry about these things. If I really have someone I like, I will not hide it from you. I will definitely tell you. Don't worry."

After hearing Li Mingxia's assurance, Zhang said no more, took the teacup from her hand, and slowly drank it.

The pastries were not delicious, but the tea was okay. The three of us chatted and drank tea, so it wasn't boring.

After waiting for more than two hours, Li Mingxia was already a little hungry and wondered if he should go eat something before coming back to wait.

Just when he was about to ask Li Mingyu and Zhang for their opinions, Shen Xing and Manager Lin came back.

"Oh, I was just thinking about going out to eat. It's a coincidence that you guys came back." Li Mingxia was also very happy. No matter what, he was still thinking about the shop.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Shen Xing said a little embarrassedly.

After all, this was the first time he had received a serious assignment, so Shen Xing wanted to be more careful and more careful, and must not make any mistakes, so it was delayed for so long.

Manager Lin was also a little impatient and wanted to say something sarcastic, but Li Mingxia said in agreement: "This is what you should do. Be more careful to avoid any trouble. You have worked hard today. Is there anything suitable?"

Manager Lin shut his mouth.

Shen Xing nodded, "There are three that are very suitable and meet all your needs, Miss. I have also asked for the price."

Li Mingxia was very interested when he heard it. "Okay, then you two take us to have a look. If it's suitable, let's make a deal today."

Manager Lin, who had originally wanted to warm up before leaving, became the fastest one to leave after hearing that the matter could be settled today.

The first place is a two-story building with a good location in a relatively prosperous area. It is also relatively spacious and costs 1,200 taels of silver.

The second place is also a two-story building. Its location is a little worse than the first one, but it is not remote either. It is much more spacious than the first one. The asking price is 1,300 taels of silver, and the reason for its high price is its larger area.

The third place is a three-story building with a backyard. The backyard is not very big, but it has everything needed and can accommodate seven or eight people. It has three rooms and is connected to the small building in front. The location is a little better than the first one. As for the floor area, it is definitely enough. After all, it is a three-story building. The price is not cheap, two thousand five hundred taels of silver.

After looking at them all, Li Mingxia asked Shen Xing which one he liked.

Shen Xing answered the third question.

Manager Lin was a little disapproving, and at the same time, he also wanted to show off in front of Lin Mingxia, so before Lin Mingxia could speak, he spoke first: "Miss Li, if it were me, why not choose the second place? You are in the food business, you don't need a particularly lively place. Besides, there is also Yaoyue Tower in the town. No matter what you do, you can't beat it. Spend so much money to buy a shop, how long will it take to make it back? To be frustrating, if it really doesn't work out, it won't be easy to sell it even if you want to. Don't get hurt, it will be uncomfortable!"

Although what Manager Lin said was unpleasant to hear, he was considering it from the buyer's perspective.

In Manager Lin's opinion, even if Li Mingxia could come up with 2,500 taels of silver, it would still empty his family's assets. A countryman might have money, but how much money could he have?

What I said must have made Li Mingxia feel that I was sincerely thinking about her, so it would be easier to talk about anything in the future. By the way, I could also step on Shen Xing. At a young age, they only care about the surface and how can they think so far ahead!

Manager Lin glanced at Shen Xing with some pride, "You still need experience after all. If you keep thinking like this, you won't be able to do the things the master has ordered you to do!"
