After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"Brother Pei!" Xu Zheng shouted, handing the items to the customers one by one.

"You really came." She was a little surprised.

Pei Xuanxi smiled and said, "Miss Xu invited me, so of course I have to come."

Xu Zheng pulled his and Ah Yan's arms and said, "It's OK as long as you come. We have prepared a private room just for you! You must try the chicken feet I made. They are definitely the most delicious food you have never tasted in Zhaoding City!"

Pei Xuanxi looked at her hand and said with a smile: "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

"Don't be polite with us." Xu Zheng took them to the room on the second floor. "Sit down first. I'll get you some food!"

She quickly ran downstairs, took a large plate, put a plate of chicken feet, several of the most popular desserts, drinks with ice cubes, and a small bowl of skewers on it.

Xu Zheng opened the door with difficulty. When Pei Xuanxi saw her, he immediately stepped forward to lend a hand.

"Miss Xu is so thoughtful." Pei Xuanxi hurriedly thanked her.

Xu Zheng waved her hand: "You're welcome. You gave me so much money, so of course I have to thank you very much. Come and try my cooking."

Xu Zheng pushed the food in front of him and signaled them with her eyes to eat quickly.

Pei Xuanxi usually doesn't eat things that are too spicy or too sweet. Seeing Xu Zheng's face full of anticipation, he picked up the spoon and took a bite of the dessert.

It was sweet but not greasy, and melted in the mouth immediately. Pei Xuanxi was surprised and said, "This taste... I have never eaten it before, I don't know how to describe it."

Xu Zheng smiled proudly: "Is it delicious?"

"Hmm!" Pei Xuanxi took another sip of the drink. It had a sour and sweet taste, with a faint aroma of alcohol. He felt a lot more refreshed.

"Miss Xu, how did you do it?" he asked.

Xu Zheng blinked: "This is something from our hometown, it's a secret!"

She smiled brightly, and Pei Xuanxi nodded, praising them generously.

At the store entrance——

Yiqing stood on the steps, looking at Yian walking towards him.

He sneered, his tone mocking: "Second Uncle is also interested in this kind of occasion?"

He walked down the steps and looked him in the eyes without disguising, "Or are you interested in the people inside?"

"Haha, Aqing, you're joking. Miss Tao invited me personally, so how could I not come?" Yi'an smiled very properly, which made Yiqing feel a chill in his heart.

Tao Tao saw someone outside and ran out to greet them. Unexpectedly, she saw two people at loggerheads. She held the dinner plate and smiled awkwardly: "You two...why don't you come in and talk?"

Yi An walked towards her and said with a smile, "Miss Tao, how are you these days?"

Tao Tao nodded: "Everything is fine, please come in, gentlemen. We have reserved a room for you."

Yiqing felt a little unhappy when he saw Tao Tao smiling.

Why is it that seeing him is like seeing a ghost? I keep laughing when I see this guy. Is he scary?

Thinking of this, his face darkened again.

Seeing that his face turned dark, Tao Tao hesitated whether to go up and call him.

Yi An chuckled and said, "Don't mind, Miss Tao. Ah Qing has a bad temper and is like this to everyone."

Yiqing strode forward and was about to debate with him, but saw Tao Tao waving his hands and said seriously:

"No, no, people like Master Yiqing are very good. They show everything on their faces... They are very simple."

Yiqing was stunned. He didn't expect Tao Tao to speak up for him.

Yi An's eyes flashed coldly: "So, Miss Tao likes people like Ah Qing?"

"are you……"

"I like anyone as long as they aren't the kind of people with a bad temper. It's windy outside, you'd better go in!" Tao Tao was about to collapse. It was obvious that Yi Qing was going to punch Yi An, but fortunately he was interrupted by her words.

Yi An smiled and walked in.

Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Yiqing out of the corner of her eye.

He is the one who has a bad temper.

After successfully bringing the two giant Buddha statues into the house, Tao Tao ran away like the wind.

There were people coming and going in the store. Many people came in and never left, and those who left carried a lot of things with them. Xiaohe and the others were very busy.

Gu Ling stood outside the store. He looked up at the plaque and walked in.

He still had the same face as last time and did not show his true face to people.

When Xiao He saw someone coming, he went to greet them.

"Sir, please come in and sit down!" Gu Ling was too tall, and he could only look up with difficulty.

"Little friends, is there a girl named Meng Yin here?" he bent down and asked.

"Yes, Sister Yin is painting a portrait for someone upstairs. You can go upstairs and ask her to paint for you." Xiaohe pointed upstairs.

"Okay." Gu Ling curled his lips and walked up.

There were many rooms on the second floor. He saw a door with the words "Beauty painting, knock on the door to come in" hung in front of it, so he reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The same voice came from inside.

Gu Ling pushed the door open and saw Meng Yin sitting at the table, drawing seriously.

She wore an apron around her front and her hair was tied up behind her. Because the sleeves were too much of a hindrance, she tied them up, revealing her two snow-white arms.

If Gu Ling hadn't seen her last time, he would have thought she was a quiet, simple and talented woman.

"Now you need to pay one or two taels of silver for the portrait." She looked up, a little surprised, "Is it you?"

Gu Ling smiled and said, "I came in when I saw the newly opened store."

"Gu Ling's friend is really amazing. He can also paint." He exclaimed.

Meng Yin rubbed her sore wrist and said, "It's okay."

She thought of something sharply and pretended to be indifferent and asked: "Do you want to meet Gu Ling?"

Gu Ling sat aside and looked at her calmly: "No, he is a lunatic."

Meng Yin frowned and tilted her head to mutter, "Really? His reputation is so bad?"

"Yes, everyone in the martial arts world thinks that whoever is familiar with him will be unlucky." Gu Ling spread out his hands and said with a smile.

Meng Yin was embarrassed. Did this mean she was unlucky?

"You can't say that. I just think he's a very nice person." In order to prevent him from noticing anything, Meng Yin gritted her teeth and flattered him.

"Really? What do you think is good about him, girl?" Gu Ling asked.

Meng Yin was stunned for a moment, then immediately said without hesitation: "I think he is very handsome, very serious about everything, and very capable."

"Girl, you praise him so much, do you have feelings for him beyond friendship?" Gu Ling said, touching his chin with his hand.

Meng Yin wanted to deny it, but she glanced at him and found that he was observing her.

Could it be that someone sent this person to find out about Gu Ling? Meng Yin thought to herself.

"Well, I did have that kind of feeling for him, but he didn't like me. I told him that I wanted to be with him forever, but he just ignored me. Now we've almost cut off our relationship." Meng Yin was worried that if she said too much, Gu Ling would find out, so it was better to cut off ties.

Gu Ling raised his eyebrows. Did he hurt a girl's heart before?

Meng Yin walked closer to him with a brush in hand: "You kept asking about Gu Ling when you got here, but you don't want to get to know him, so what do you want to do?"

How did she suddenly become so clever? Gu Ling saw her glancing at him, so he stood up so she could see more clearly.

"No, I'm just a little surprised that a girl like you is connected with that guy Gu Ling." He said.

Meng Yin turned around and said, "Everyone has good and bad sides. I think Gu Ling is very good, even though he rejected me."

"Haha, then he really deserves to die." Gu Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled sinisterly where she couldn't see.
