In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

For several days, the restaurant was unable to open, and the faces of Su Zhizhi and others became uglier day by day.

Su Zhizhi has trouble sleeping almost every day.

She could clearly see the glory of the restaurant right in front of her, but at this moment she was tricked and she could do nothing. Liu Xiaohua and Liu Yuanwai obviously wanted to destroy the restaurant, and Su Zhizhi didn't want to let their goal succeed no matter what.

Su Zhizhi's figure became thinner and thinner. Su Peizhi saw all the changes in Su Zhizhi. He leaned against the wall and clenched his fists. He had never felt so powerless before. Facing the affairs of the restaurant, he found that he could do nothing.

Just when Su Peizhi was feeling depressed, he seemed to remember something. He hurried back to his room and vaguely remembered that his classmate was from the county magistrate's family, and was the drunken son of County Magistrate Zhang, Zhang Jiayuan.

Thinking of this, a hint of joy flashed across Su Peizhi's face. When they were in the academy, Zhang Jiayuan had a very good relationship with him. Although their family backgrounds did not match, Zhang Jiayuan never looked down on Su Peizhi and had no contempt for him. Therefore, Su Peizhi would always subconsciously forget Zhang Jiayuan's family background and just treat him as an ordinary friend of the same age.

But now Su Peizhi was in hesitation. He was struggling over whether or not to go find Zhang Jiayuan. He was worried that this matter would create a rift between him and Zhang Jiayuan.

But Su Peizhi didn't dwell on it for too long. He thought that if he could really help Su Zhizhi overcome this difficulty, he would do anything for it.

However, Su Peizhi did not tell Su Zhizhi about his plan to go find Zhang Jiayuan. He was afraid that if Zhang Jiayuan refused, he would have a hard time explaining to Su Zhizhi.

One day, Su Peizhi found an opportunity to go out, and quickly sent an invitation to Zhang Jiayuan to come out. The two met at a teahouse.

When Zhang Jiayuan arrived, Su Peizhi had already been waiting for a long time. Zhang Jiayuan, led by the waiter, came to the private room. As soon as he opened the door, he smiled and said, "It's rare to see you come to see me. What's going on? Is there anything?"

Su Peizhi's face froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Please sit down first. I don't know if you can get used to the tea here."

"Don't worry, it's rare that you invite me over for tea, so I'm naturally used to it." After saying that, Zhang Jiayuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Not bad, it's the flavor I like."

Hearing this, Su Peizhi's tense nerves relaxed a little, and then he said, "I called you out today because I have something to ask of you."

Zhang Jiayuan showed an expression that was exactly what he expected. He drank tea and said, "See what I said? Go ahead! If there is anything I can help with, just tell me. We are friends after all." Zhang Jiayuan was also very straightforward.

Su Peizhi then told Zhang Jiayuan about the restaurant's affairs in general. At first, Zhang Jiayuan looked fine, but after hearing that Mr. Liu had intervened, Zhang Jiayuan's expression gradually became serious.

It wasn't until Zhang Jiayuan listened to Su Peizhi's request and a conflicted look appeared on his face that Su Peizhi realized something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "Jiayuan? What's wrong? Is this a difficult matter?"

Su Peizhi was not a person who could not tell right from wrong. Seeing Zhang Jiayuan like this, he felt a lot colder.

As expected, Zhang Jiayuan nodded with difficulty, and his eyes were full of helplessness when he looked at Su Peizhi.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jiayuan explained, "If this matter wants to be resolved, my father has to step in, but I'm afraid he's unwilling to interfere in the affairs of Mr. Liu's family. I don't dare to make the decision on my own."

Su Peizhi was silent for a moment. Although he was in a bad mood, he still forced a smile and said to Zhang Jiayuan, "I know this matter will be difficult for you, and I won't force it. After all, we are still friends. My sister's restaurant has developed a lot of new dishes. How about I take you to try them?"

Zhang Jiayuan wanted to refuse, but Su Peizhi saw through it. Before Zhang Jiayuan could say anything, he said, "Don't worry. I'm not inviting you to dinner to get you involved in this matter. Just think of it as me treating my brothers to dinner. You won't even give me this courtesy, will you?"

Su Peizhi said this half-jokingly. After hearing this, Zhang Jiayuan didn't know how to refuse, but he really wanted to try it. After all, Su Peizhi had praised the dishes in Su Zhizhi Restaurant to the skies before, which made him salivate for a long time.

"You said it, so I won't be polite!" Zhang Jiayuan patted Su Peizhi's shoulder, and then the two of them stood up and walked out.

The restaurant is still closed, and Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin are still worried about how to deal with Mr. Zhang's problem.

Seeing Su Peizhi coming with his classmates and friends, Su Zhizhi came out to greet them. After settling Zhang Jiayuan down, Su Peizhi dragged Su Zhizhi outside.

He whispered to Su Zhizhi, "Sister, the guy inside is called Zhang Jiayuan, the son of County Magistrate Zhang. If County Magistrate Zhang can intervene in this matter, I think Mr. Liu won't dare to make things difficult for him."

Su Zhizhi was surprised that Su Peizhi actually knew such a person, and said with emotion: "Peizhi has really grown up and will help my sister share the burden. Since you have sent him to me, there is no way I can let this opportunity go. Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi walked towards the kitchen. Su Zhizhi would definitely attach great importance to the meal prepared for Zhang Jiayuan. She decided to cook it herself. After all, the chef's skills were not as good as hers.

Half an hour later, Su Zhizhi prepared a large table of dishes, many of which were new products that the restaurant had never introduced before, and they were placed full in front of Zhang Jiayuan.

Even though Zhang Jiayuan had seen a lot, he couldn't help but be a little surprised by Su Zhizhi's hospitality.

After the dishes were served, Su Zhizhi led people out of the private room and gave the space to Su Peizhi and Zhang Jiayuan. Su Zhizhi still believed in Su Peizhi's ability. Since he could bring people into the restaurant, Su Zhizhi was willing to let Su Peizhi take a gamble. If he won the bet, it would be good. If he lost the bet, the situation could not be worse than it is now.

But Su Zhizhi also thought that if she could get in touch with County Magistrate Zhang this time, she would have a more stable guarantee for the future development of the restaurant.

Inside the private room, Zhang Jiayuan looked at the delicious food in front of him, and his appetite was aroused. However, he still restrained himself and said to Su Peizhi: "Peizhi, it's not that I don't want to help you with this matter, but I really can't make the decision. Although my father loves me, it's not my turn to say anything."
