"Maybe there's something wrong with your cook. My family has three cooks, and they all cook very well. They can cook all kinds of Chinese and foreign cuisines. Although they won't make dishes with lots of oil and salt for me, overall the food is still very delicious. Why don't you find another cook yourself?"

As they were talking, Jiang Tang had already finished the whole bowl.

"Sure, when I'm on vacation, I'll have my brother find me another chef."

The two then took a walk for a while before Jiang Tang went home, and Wen Yao returned to the hotel.

The next day, Wen Yao arrived at the new house, and the workers moved the furniture in.

Wen Yao arranged for the workers to put the items in the designated place.

Although she bought a lot of things yesterday, this was only a small part of it. After tidying up, Wen Yao lay down on the chaise lounge.

The new home is on a high floor, so it gets plenty of sunlight.

After spending the whole day in her new home, Wen Yao returned to her hotel in the evening.

After waking up, Wen Yao waited until 2 PM before remembering that it was time to pick up her clothes.

Wen Yao then walked to Zhongbei Street.

The hotel is located not far from Zhongbei Street, and Wen Yao can walk there quickly.

When Wen Yao arrived at the alley, she discovered that the shop was closed.

She stared in shock at the closed store.

It's already 2 PM, why aren't they open yet? Do they even care about doing business?!

Wen Yao was a little angry because she didn't even have her boss's phone number.

Just as she was feeling lost, an older woman from the store next door suddenly came out.

"Young lady, are you looking for Old Man Ji?"

Wen Yao nodded.

Then my aunt took out a key and opened the door to the tailor shop.

"Auntie, do you know the owner of this store? Do you know where he went? He told me to come and pick up my clothes today."

Auntie opened the door and let Wen Yao in to sit down.

"Old Ji's granddaughter's condition has worsened again. She went to the hospital as soon as she received the call at noon, and just sent me a message saying she will be back soon."

Before he left, he handed me the keys and said, "A young lady is coming to pick up some goods today. She's a new customer, and he asked me to help entertain you. Please come in and have a seat."

When Wen Yao heard that Old Man Ji had an emergency at the hospital, she expressed her understanding.

“Young lady, are you in a hurry? If you are, I’ll tell him to deliver the clothes to your home. That’s how we regular customers do it.”

Wen Yao shook her head

"No rush, I can sit and wait."

"By the way, Auntie, Mr. Ji's granddaughter is sick. Why is he the one running around taking care of her?"

If Wen Yao remembered correctly, she saw that Boss Ji's beard was all white that day, and he was still running around for his granddaughter at such an old age.

"Alas, they are all unfortunate people."

Old Ji only has himself and his granddaughter left in his family. Who else can take care of her besides him?

Upon hearing this, Wen Yao's heart tightened.

I remember seeing Old Man Ji a few days ago. He was wearing a suit vest, wool trousers, and glasses.

I thought he was a person with a very respectable life, but it turns out he was having such a hard time behind the scenes.

"Seven years ago, Old Man Ji had already closed his shop and retired. But that year, his son and daughter-in-law both died in a car accident. Seeing that his granddaughter was still young, he asked the landlord to reopen the shop."

Actually, life could have continued like this, but a year ago my granddaughter got sick again and developed a tumor.

Everyone on this street is a regular customer, so I'll patronize the shop whenever I can.

After hearing this, Wen Yao was deeply moved and could not calm down for a long time.

She walked to the front gate, took a picture of the house number, and sent it to Tang Zhen.

"Check if this store belongs to me."

Tang Zhen replied to the message very quickly.

"Young lady, this is your shop. What do you need me to do?"

Seeing that it was her own shop, Wen Yao felt somewhat relieved.

"The owner of this shop is an old gentleman, and the rent will be waived from now on."

I had just sent the message when I heard the sound of an electric scooter behind me.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, miss. I just had to take care of some personal matters."

Old Ji was wearing a short jacket and black trousers today.

His neat and clean clothes seemed completely out of place with his hurried manner.

Old Ji didn't even have time to pick up the key to his electric scooter before running into the shop.

My glasses are all crooked.

"Miss, your coat is ready. There's a fitting room inside. You can try it on, and if it doesn't fit, I'll make some alterations."

Old Ji took out a dust bag from the cabinet, inside which was his overcoat.

After handing the clothes to Wen Yao, he ran out to remove the car keys.

Wen Yao suddenly felt a pang of sorrow as she looked at it.

She unzipped the coat and touched it inside. It felt very comfortable; you could tell it was made of high-quality material just by touching it.

"Don't you like it?"

When Old Man Ji returned and saw that Wen Yao hadn't gone in to try yet, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Wen Yao shook her head.

"I'll go try it."

Wen Yao turned and went into the fitting room.

Before even looking in the mirror, Wen Yao decided that the design was excellent.

The backrest is positioned just right, forcing Wen Yao to straighten her back.

When Wen Yao opened the fitting room door and stood in front of the mirror, she was truly amazed by her appearance.

A court-style coat makes you feel like a princess in a castle, and it's also suitable for important occasions, so you don't have to worry about wearing a formal dress in winter.

Wen Yao looked at herself in the mirror from left to right, unable to hide her excitement, wishing she could take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments right now.

Old Man Ji also looked at her, waiting for her reply.

"Boss, I really like it. No need to change it anymore. It suits me perfectly."

Boss Ji smiled as well.

"Miss, this dress suits you very well."

By the way, this scarf is for you; it goes very well with this coat. The main reason I'm doing this is because I'm really sorry, my granddaughter is seriously ill, and I get very anxious every time I receive news from the hospital.”

When Old Ji talked about this, his brows furrowed, and he had lost a lot of weight that year.

He has to rush to the hospital at any time with just a phone call.

"In the end, I am very grateful to you all. If it weren't for the help of my neighbors and the understanding of you customers, I wouldn't be able to keep this shop open."

Old Ji handed a white fuzzy scarf to Wen Yao.

Wen Yao knew as soon as she touched the fabric that it was definitely wool.

"Boss Ji, the aunt from the shop next door just told me about your situation."

To be honest, I'm now the new landlord of this shop, and I've just told my assistant that your rent will be waived from now on.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Ji was clearly stunned.

His first reaction was one of surprise, wondering if what Wen Yao said was true.

However, he did receive a message a couple of days ago that the landlord had changed, and he added the landlord's assistant on WeChat.

"If you don't believe me, check your phone. My assistant should have already sent you a message. She's very efficient."
