Ye Ke looked at the fool in front of him and nodded.

"Do you know how much my shop's daily turnover is? Do you know how much it's monthly? If you take her away, how long will it take me to train another pastry chef? Will my shop be empty during this period? Shouldn't you pay for this?"

Ye Ke looked at the extremely professional words and they all came crashing down on Xu Meiru's head.

In fact, Xu Meiru herself has a low level of education, and the little tricks she has can only fool a stupid man like Tian Shaokang who does nothing.

When he met a young lady like Ye Ke who looked smart and arrogant, he became discouraged.

She was speechless, and thinking that little girls are soft-hearted, she tried to show weakness from another angle, "Boss, 20,000 yuan is too much. We are just ordinary people..."

"I'm going to get annoyed if you keep talking!" Ye Ke knew exactly what she was going to do next. He continued to maintain his image as an unscrupulous boss exploiting his employees and said impatiently, "Either pay me and leave, or..."

"Or what?" Xu Meiru looked at her expectantly.

Ye Ke had a half-smile on his face and snorted coldly, "Or call the police."

Ye Ke said indifferently, "You decide. Let's get this over with once and for all. I don't want to have to deal with these nasty things again in the future!"

Xu Meiru and Tian Shaokang looked at each other. Tian Shaokang shook his head. When he heard that he had to pay 20,000 yuan in compensation, he lost all interest.

What? You mean a promotion and a raise? He can't even save 20,000 by the time he retires! What a loss.

Xu Meiru also came here today and found that Tian Tian’s life was not as good as Sun Yu said.

Not only is your freedom in life restricted, but you also have a...mean boss.

She suddenly felt calmer, but then she thought about the unattainable 20,000 yuan penalty and decided to forget it.

Xu Meiru never doubted whether Ye Ke was playing her. The main reason was that Ye Ke's age was very deceptive, and he looked like a student, not like a skilled liar.

In addition, Ye Ke's previous words were very logical and his attitude was very similar to that of the leaders in their factory who loved to hold meetings. She was shocked and had no time to doubt it.

"Boss, we won't take Tian Tian back. Let her work here." Xu Meiru nudged Tian Shaokang, wanting to compromise and let him ask Tian Tian for some money.

Tian Shaokang didn't understand at all, and nodded in agreement: "Yes."

After saying that, he wanted to pull Xu Meiru away from this extremely embarrassing place, but he didn't get anything done and just made a fool of himself.

Xu Meiru kept winking at him, but Tian Shaokang was so busy covering his face and running away that he didn't see anything at all.

Since her biological father was gone, Xu Meiru, the seemingly kind stepmother, naturally couldn't mention him anymore, so she had to leave with him.

Tian Tian's tense body suddenly collapsed. She held Ye Ke's arm and thanked him repeatedly, "I'm glad you're here."

Although she could solve it herself, the process would definitely not be easy, and she might even have a big fight with the couple.

Ye Ke didn't completely relax, and added calmly: "We're just trying to fool them for now. When they go back and ask someone about it, they might be exposed."

"How about this, let's sign a real contract with the penalty raised to 20,000. Just sign one copy and keep it for yourself."

Ye Wenhui and Tian Tian simply signed a labor contract, which also included a penalty for breach of contract, but it was not as outrageous as 20,000 yuan.

Sign another contract with a penalty of 20,000 yuan. That way, when Xu Meiru realizes what's going on and comes looking for her again, Tian Tian will be able to handle it easily even if Ye Ke isn't around. And leaving only one copy in Tian Tian's hands is also a kind of protection for her.

Tian Tian completely trusted Ye Ke, and the two of them got to work immediately, drafting a contract and signing it.

When Ye Ke walked out of the dessert shop, the people outside had already dispersed. She thought for a while and came to Zhang's mother's pancake shop.

Zhang Mengyao was still inside. Ye Ke saw her and asked casually, "I'm going back to school. Do you want to come with me?"

Zhang Mengyao was stunned for a moment. She and Ye Ke often met in the food street, but this was the first time that Ye Ke took the initiative to talk to her and even invited her to go with him.

Thinking of Ye Ke's completely different attitude from usual, she immediately understood and refused with a smile: "No, I have to be busy for a while, I'll leave later."

Zhang Mengyao knew very well that what Ye Ke said before was right. The best way for them to get along was not to disturb each other. She went to inform Ye Ke just now, which was a voluntary act. She did not think about gaining Ye Ke's sympathy and forgiveness.

Ye Ke was not angry at being rejected. He smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, thank you for today. I'll be leaving first."

She turned around and breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was grateful to Zhang Mengyao for what happened today, she had no intention of getting close to her. Fortunately, Zhang Mengyao also felt that it would be awkward for them to get along with each other and rejected her.

The matter was resolved smoothly. When Ye Ke returned to school, it was still early and there was still some time before evening self-study, so she went back to the dormitory first.

When they arrived at the dormitory, everyone was there. Zhou Zhizhi saw Ye Ke and asked curiously, "Ye Ke, why are you so late today?"

When Ye Ke heard what Zhou Zhizhi meant, he realized that she didn't know that she had already come back once, but had just gone out for something else.

She looked at Lin Mo in confusion, and Lin Mo stepped forward to explain, "I was thinking of telling Zhizhi if you haven't come back yet when the time is almost up."

Lin Mo didn’t know whether Ye Ke was willing to let everyone know that something had happened to her, so she thought she should delay it as long as possible. What if Ye Ke could come back in time?

"Ah? What's wrong?" Zhou Zhizhi was confused for a moment when she saw the two people doing word riddles in front of her.

Ye Ke explained briefly that she had just gone out for something and asked Lin Mo to tell her before leaving.

After Zhou Zhizhi got the answer, she didn't ask any further questions and left contentedly.

Ye Ke checked the time. It was almost time for evening study, so there was no time to discuss things. So he said to Lin Mo, "Shall we continue what you asked me to do this afternoon?"
