I'm terminally ill, and all they give me is a matchmaking system?

The next day, Lin Tian composed himself and returned to work at Fang's Restaurant.

That night.

He took off his work clothes and was about to go back to the hotel to wash up and rest when Fang Yang and Yu Miaomiao stopped him.

With mysterious smiles on their faces, the two blocked Lin Tianyao's way out.

Lin Tian chuckled and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Mr. Lin, my dad said there’s a gathering tonight. As a member of our family, he wants you to stay and have dinner with us. You have a lot of ideas, and my father said he hopes to hear your opinion after he announces the plans.”

Lin Tian looked at the two of them with pleading eyes.

After a long silence, he finally sighed and left.

"Okay! Around what time?"

"You get in the car first, we'll wait in the car."

Lin Tian glanced at Fang's father, who was still calculating accounts in the distance, and offered, "I'm all greasy, let me go back and take a shower first."

"I'll be down in ten minutes."

Yu Miaomiao, being understanding, nodded in agreement.

Lin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and went upstairs to wash up.

As I came down, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the Yu Family Restaurant across from the Fang Family Restaurant was also closed.

Yu Miaomiao had already run happily to her mother's side, hooking her arm around her shoulder and acting coquettishly, whispering to herself. Lin Tian could roughly guess what she was saying.

He just couldn't understand it.

Why does this matter need to involve me?

At Fang Yang's invitation, they got into the car.

Upon arriving at the restaurant and pushing open the door to the hotel's private room, Lin Tian was startled by the cheerful scene before him.

Fang Yang and Yu Miaomiao's friends gathered together and set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Lin Tian's gaze finally fell on the banner above—

'Fang Yang & Yu Miaomiao's Engagement Ceremony'

It turned out that today was their engagement day. As Lin Tian was pondering what would happen next, Fang's father suddenly reached out and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Lin Tian! I've been looking everywhere for you! I thought you weren't planning on coming!"

Lin Tian chuckled dryly without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Old Man Fang looked around and, seeing that his son and future daughter-in-law had already gathered with their friends, he took Lin Tian's hand and headed outside.

"Lin Tian, ​​I don't want to hide anything from you. The reason I specifically asked the child to call you here today is actually quite simple: my son and Miaomiao are getting engaged tonight, and they might get married in a while..."

"Besides, I was thinking of bringing you in as a long-term employee, but I'm not the kind of person who's stingy. Miaomiao's mother's business has been doing really badly lately, so I was thinking of taking over the empty shop next door and combining the two shops into one. This is a good business, and we can't let others benefit from it, right?"

Lin Tian didn't say anything.

He thought that if he really merged the two stores into one, then the flow of people would be beyond his control.

If he's already exhausted by then, he won't be able to do anything else.

Lin Tian pondered.

Old Master Fang wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he explained in detail: "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry! If we really take over the neighbor's yard, I'll definitely double your salary. It's not a loss to pay an excellent employee like you more. I just don't know what you think. If you don't agree, I won't say anything more."

He met the sincere eyes of the old man from the Fang family.

Lin Tian pursed his lips and pondered.

He looked slightly troubled: "Boss Fang, I've already made my thoughts clear to you before. I might not stay, and I'm not sure how long I'll stay! So if you really want to take over both stores, my only concern is that if I stop working at your stores, will your business not be doing well? In that case, the loss will be to both stores."

"Lin Tian, ​​are you really sure you want to leave?"

Old Master Fang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Lin Tian nodded without hesitation: "I naturally understand what you mean, but I've also thought it through. If I have other hobbies to pursue, then I definitely can't stay here."

"Mr. Fang, you'd better think this through carefully. If you can make sure that my departure won't affect the business, then you can do it without any problem."

"Besides, we're about to become family, so no matter how business is going, it's good to make money together as a family!"

Lin Tian could understand his decision.

However, Lin Tian himself was not sure whether he would stay or not.

Old Master Fang's gaze darkened.

If Fang Yang hadn't rushed out to find his father after greeting the guests and seeing that the dishes had been served, Lin Tian and Fang's father might have been standing in the corridor, pondering how to proceed.

Old Master Fang was brought back to his senses by being called. Seeing Fang Yang return to the private room, he hurriedly grabbed Lin Tian's wrist.

"Lin Tian, ​​I understand what you're thinking. Don't worry, I'll weigh the two things carefully and won't make things difficult for you."

Lin Tian nodded, and then they returned to the private room together.

At the engagement party, Fang Yang and Yu Miaomiao had dinner with their friends. After agreeing to go to karaoke late at night, their friends moved on to another venue.

Yu's mother and father were about to leave, but Fang's father kept them there.

"Wait a minute! I deliberately had the children move their friends to another spot today because I have something to tell you!"

Yu's mother and father stopped, looked at each other, and then turned to look at Fang's father.

Old Master Fang didn't mince words; he immediately relayed the conversation he had just had with Lin Tian to the Yu couple.

Yu's mother frowned: "I admit that your business is indeed very successful now... but merging the two businesses into one is unnecessary! No matter what, we bought that store before. Even if we lose money, a little over a thousand yuan a month is enough for us to live on."

"After Miaomiao and Fang Yang got engaged, we don't ask for anything, we just hope that your Fang family can treat Miaomiao better."

"We, as parents, don't ask for anything else."

Yu's mother was very sincere.

Mother Fang said, "My dear in-law, I know what you mean, and I know you're strong-willed. You don't want to make things too big... Regarding this idea, we really don't want to cause too much trouble either, but we hope that if we can really take over the business and open a shop together, then no matter what, the children can rest easy."

"Besides, if we can make money together, we should do it together! That way, the four of us can hire a chef and a dishwasher, and we'll be able to open a decent restaurant."

Fang's mother spoke in a gentle and soft voice.

Even if Yu's mother has a terrible temper, she would never lose her temper at this critical moment.

She lowered her head and did not answer.

The atmosphere was a bit anxious.

However, Lin Tian was still able to leave after a friendly exchange between the two sides.

Available in the next second.

The phone rang.

Lin Tian lowered his head, puzzled, and swiped to answer the call.

"Lin Tian! Help!"
