Jiang Yao felt ashamed when her thoughts were seen through, and she hurriedly put on a smile to hide her embarrassment.

"It's okay. I'm just wondering why you are in my kitchen today."

"Miss Jiang, why don't you make a guess?" Liu Jue nonchalantly waved the folding fan in his hand, leaving the question in suspense.

"Really? You're not here just to give me a red envelope, are you?" Jiang Yao stuffed the item in her hand into it and joked casually.

"The young master is here for the young lady, and the young lady is really smart."

Hearing this, Jiang Yao paused and looked at Liu Jue with some surprise.

"Aren't you going to get it from the accounting office? Why do you have to make another trip?"

"I'm giving it to you for a reason." Liu Jue said as he folded the folding fan in his hand and handed a purse to Jiang Yao.

"Your two new dishes are very popular. The people in the Chu family are very satisfied and asked me to add some more money."

"If it's for these two dishes, I can't accept your money." Jiang Yao's face became serious and she handed the purse back to Liu Jue.

"Why? This is the reward you deserve. You should accept it."

"That's another matter. Since we signed a contract with the restaurant, we must provide them with dishes that meet the standards according to the regulations. Moreover, the contract states that I cannot accept additional rewards."

Although Jiang Yao was eager to save money, she also knew when to take it, when to take it, and when to take it.

Just like in her previous life, the extra money was not written in the contract and therefore did not belong to her.

As for why she cares so much about contracts, we have to start with modern contracts.

Before she became an Internet celebrity, if she didn't have a lawyer, she would have been cheated long ago.

Although she now has millions of fans, there are still some people who did not abide by the contract and bribed her. She refused, and then the news was exposed. That person also used these benefits to threaten other authors.

How lucky she was at that time. If it was not something outside the contract, she would have been more cautious.

After coming back to her senses and listening to Liu Jue's persuasion, her smile disappeared in an instant.

"Master Liu, if you regard me as a friend, don't give me so much money, so as to save me from worrying."

Liu Jue rarely saw Jiang Yao with a stern face, and he was immediately panicked. This was indeed a reward from the Chu family to Jiang Yao, and it was not selfish.

At this moment, he suddenly heard Chef Liu discussing orders with several diners. He was moved and said with a smile: "How about this money as a deposit? These dishes must not be sold anymore."

Since it was a deposit, Jiang Yao naturally would not refuse. After all, she would return the money after arriving at the accounting office.

"In that case, thank you Brother Liu for your help. Master Liu, don't worry. I always pay attention to contracts and will never violate the agreement and sell the goods to other restaurants."

Seeing Jiang Yao accept the silver, Liu Jue finally felt relieved. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made him look even more dazzling, but there was still a hint of worry between his brows.

"Liu has something to ask you. What contract are you talking about?"

"Ah."

Jiang Yao thought about it and it seemed that there was nothing to hide, so she said, "Master Liu, you should be able to tell from the way I dress that our family is not well off."

"This contract is like an insurance policy. If anything goes wrong, I can use it as proof, right?"

Hearing this, Liu Jue's smile faded and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.

“You don’t need this paper.”

As Jiang Yao from more than 20 years ago, she immediately understood what Liu Jue meant, so she said that.

"So what? A gigolo? I know that."

"Instead of relying on others, it is better to rely on yourself. Only when you are strong enough can you stop your loved ones from being bullied. Even if they encounter someone stronger than them, they will consider whether to take action."

Jiang Yao's words were so powerful that the more Liu Jue listened, the more he admired her. For a moment, he couldn't think of a suitable way to deal with it, so he had to find another way.

"If Miss Jiang is unwilling to depend on others, will Miss Jiang also do something for others?"

Jiang Yao obviously didn't expect Liu Jue to say such a thing, but she quickly reacted and shook her head.

"It's a pity that I have a small body and I only have my mother and sister to rely on at home. If it were someone else, I would really not be able to handle it."

After being rejected repeatedly, Liu Jue was quite depressed. He snorted, forced a smile, and said goodbye to Jiang Yao.

As soon as he left, the kitchen suddenly became much busier. Jiang Yao and Chef Liu counted the portions of the food before leaving with the silver.

After finding a secluded place, he took out twenty taels of silver, which enabled him to pay off his debt to Brother Wei and save seventeen taels.

It’s not far from cultivation.

Jiang Yao thought about it and decided to send her second sister to a private school as soon as possible, considering her age, so as not to delay her studies and let her fall behind others.

She deliberately chose a bookstore where there were more women, picked out a book for her three sisters, and then walked out of the bookstore.

I learned from several young ladies that there is a school called "Hanmei Private School" that specifically recruits female students and has an excellent reputation.

She looked up and saw that it was still light outside. Uncle Li said he had other things to do and must still be working. It was a good opportunity for her to go to Hanmei Private School.

After asking for directions, she hurried to the private school.

Probably because there are only women here, not everyone can enter this school. Even the teachers are mostly women. Even if there are men, it is said that only a few are admitted.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Hanmei Private School, she was stopped by a teacher.

"what happened?"

Seeing that the two were in a good mood, Jiang Yao bowed to them and said, "I have an older sister at home who likes reading. She heard that Hanmei Academy is good, so she came here. I will take you there when she comes back."

"Miss, please come this way."

"Thank you very much."

The guard led Jiang Yao into the yard and explained to her.

There are lush forests and green bamboos all around, and everything is so neat and clean.

The more Jiang Yao looked at it, the more she liked it. It was a good idea to study in this school.

Just as she was about to leave, a woman dressed elegantly and luxuriously walked in from outside.

"Hello, the young lady is sending her sister to a private school. I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, thank you for your help then." The woman nodded to the guard and gave Jiang Yao a gentle smile.
