The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"On average, we're only making 5,000 in revenue! Ah Ruo, I remember we calculated that we needed to make 8,000 a day just to break even, and 10,000 to make a profit. So, we're going to lose money again this month!"

"Yes! It's my fault for not thinking things through properly. I had such high hopes, but reality is really cruel." Xu Ruo was a little annoyed. She wanted her husband to help her, but he refused, saying that she should find a way to save the restaurant herself. Even if she lost money, she should learn a lesson and know that business is not so easy. She was lucky before and made money in her business, but how many people can have that much good luck in their lives!

Yun Shu thought for a moment and said, "A Ruo can't keep losing money like this. In the end, she'll lose all her capital."

"Ashu, do you have any ideas? You've always been meticulous, thoughtful, and full of ideas."

"This... isn't a good idea either... Aruo, have you noticed? The area around the new district isn't very prosperous right now, it can't compare to the city center. What I mean is, our restaurant is positioned as high-end, could we switch to a more mass-market style and become a mid-range restaurant?"

“But Ashu, that wouldn’t be very profitable!” Xu Ruo said with some doubt.

“The restaurant is currently losing money, and we don’t know when it will turn a profit. If the profit margin is between 15% and 20% but below 20%, it indicates poor management and needs adjustment. Below 15% means the investment has failed. That’s the situation for the restaurant right now. We also need to cut costs on other unnecessary expenses. Now is the time to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. We need to reduce staff, increase efficiency, and of course, raise the wages of those who are available. Aruo, doing business is really not easy, which is why I’ve never really wanted to get involved.” Yun Shu sighed after saying this. Her grandfather knew that she wasn’t competitive, so he made her study medicine.

"Ah Shu is so much better; you know how to do business much better than me!"

"Hehe! These are all my experiences selling things when I was little. I went to town to sell things with my grandma when I was five years old. Later, I worked in Gujia and would go to work whenever I had a holiday. Doing business is very complicated. My grandpa said that girls don't have to work so hard, so he wanted me to study medicine. My mom... I guess she hoped the same way!" Yun Shu couldn't help but feel a little lost when she thought about the past, and she missed the days when she was with her grandparents.

“Ashu…”

"It's nothing, I misspoke. Aruo, if you don't have anything else to do lately, keep an eye on the restaurant. Try changing the business strategy as I just mentioned, and see how it goes for a while. Besides, we've invested so much money, we can't let it all go to waste and we'll have to lose even more money. I'm counting on the restaurant to make some money so I can buy a house next year! If we lose money again, I'll strangle you!" He then pretended to strangle Xu Ruo.

"Oh dear, I'm so scared!"

The two were arguing when they heard a knock on the door next door. Yun Shu was about to speak but stopped immediately. The person outside knocked a few times and, seeing no one answer, moved on to knocking on Yun Shu's door.

It's only a little past three o'clock, Mingkun is definitely not home, so who could be looking for him at this hour?

Yun Shu got up and went to open the door, still puzzled.

A girl of similar age to her stood at the door, dressed simply. Although her features were not particularly striking, she had a delicate and refined air about her. At that moment, she looked a little tired, and there was a suitcase at her feet, suggesting that she had come from a faraway place.

"Who are you? I don't think I know you," Yun Shu said politely but distantly.

"Hello, sorry to bother you! Do you know when Brother Kun will be back? I knocked on the door but no one answered, so he's probably not home. His cell phone is off. You're his neighbor, right? Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm Brother Kun's fiancée, Chen Manyun. My mother-in-law said that everyone living around here is an employee of Brother Kun's company. You are too, right?" Chen Manyun looked at Yun Shu with arrogance, though her tone was flat.

However, Yun Shu was completely taken aback by the woman's words, her face turning ashen. This woman had actually come all this way! Ming Kun had told her he had already explained to her that he had another woman he liked and wanted to break off their engagement. But where did this woman come from, daring to claim she was his fiancée? Anger flared immediately. Whether it was due to Ming Kun's mishandling or the sudden appearance of this seemingly innocent woman, coupled with her injury, her temper flared, and she said rudely, "You are… Ming Kun's fiancée! I haven't heard him say anything like that, and I'm not his employee." She then looked at the woman with disdain, wondering what other outrageous things she could say.

Chen Manyun had a vague feeling that the woman leaning against the door was not simple, and her attitude was also unpleasant. Could she be... Kun Ge's mistress? Seeing someone looking in their direction, she immediately pretended to be aggrieved and pitiful.

"I'm sorry to bother you! I don't know what I did to offend you, and I apologize. But I'm already engaged to him, so of course I'm his fiancée! My mother-in-law asked me to come and take care of him, and this is my first time here. If I've done anything wrong or offended you, please don't mind."

"What if my Shu minds? You wild woman, you're so desperate for a man that you come here to steal other people's men, have you no shame!" Xu Ru couldn't stand it anymore after listening to a couple of sentences inside. Shu is just too kind-hearted, which is why she's easily bullied. This woman looks like a cheap mistress, deliberately coming here to play the victim and sow discord between her and Kun Ge.

"Who are you... I came to see Brother Kun, I didn't offend you, why are you treating me like this!" Manyun started sobbing after she finished speaking. To others, it was obvious that Yun Shu and Xu were bullying her.

"Hey! What are you doing! You're so easily offended... And why are you crying? Don't tell me you weren't bullied by me again..."

At this moment, the people living on this floor who heard the commotion all ran out to see what was happening.

Tian Li, who was sleeping with her child next door, got up when she heard a noise and opened the door. She saw a strange woman crying miserably at Yun Shu's door.

"Aruo, that's enough! I'll handle this myself!" She immediately made a phone call, putting it on speakerphone so everyone could hear her at full volume. "Xiao Mingkun! Come back immediately! Apparently, your fiancée is looking for you. Come back and deal with it yourself!"

After saying that, he turned to Lu Manyun and looked at the woman in front of him, to see how long she could keep wailing.

On Xiao Mingkun's side, his mother had called earlier to ask Manyun to come over, but he got angry and turned off his phone. As soon as he turned it back on, Yunshu called and started yelling at him. The worst part was that Chen Manyun had already arrived, and the two of them had run into each other. He was really furious. He didn't know what his mother was thinking. She was sick, but that didn't mean she was so confused.

He hurriedly turned the car around. Fortunately, he wasn't far from home anyway, and he was on his way back anyway.
