She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

Yunlaiju.

Xu Shaoting was organizing things in the accounting office.

Upon seeing Qin Yu approach, he immediately stood up and told her about his achievements over the past two days.

“I’ve already contacted both companies. Tomorrow, go to the workshop and tell your older brother that the workshop is going to increase production.”

Qin Qiang is Qin Yu's older brother, and not many people in the workshop knew about this before.

But some people knew about it, and the news spread like wildfire.

Xu Shaoting understood why she invited family members to the workshop.

So after finding out, he planned to let her talk to her brother about anything.

No matter how you look at it, he's still an outsider.

If Qin Qiang ignores him, misunderstandings or disagreements may arise between the two sides, leading to conflict.

His collaboration with Qin Yu will also be affected.

This is what he doesn't want to see.

He couldn't say it himself because of this.

"understood!"

Qin Yu nodded in agreement.

"I heard Lin Jingui came! What did he say?"

Qin Yu wasn't too worried.

They came in so openly and honestly, they certainly wouldn't vandalize the store.

I'm worried he might try some underhanded tricks.

"I'm just a little unconvinced!" Xu Shaoting has become much more composed after this period of time.

“Originally, he had the sole dominance of the restaurants in town. But after the poisoning incident and his time in jail, our restaurants suddenly rose to prominence. Coupled with the workshop incident, Yunlaiju has long surpassed the restaurants in town.”

"Even if he reopens now, he can't keep up with our momentum!"

Not to mention that they can't keep up.

Yunlaiju's braised pork offal is already unique in the town.

Fish balls, meat balls, and egg dumplings are sold to most of the restaurants in town.

Even if Lin Jingui opens the door, without innovation, he can only follow the market, either selling along with everyone else or waiting to close down.

This is the problem the Lin family is facing now.

"But don't worry, our restaurant isn't the small one it used to be. Even if he comes to cause trouble, he'll have to think twice!"

Qin Yu nodded in agreement.

The situation is as Xu Shaoting analyzed.

Even if Jin Gui Restaurant opens now, it will face the challenge of keeping up with the market or launching new products.

However, Qin Yu noticed the wording in Xu Shaoting's words.

He mentioned our restaurant several times in a row.

Unconsciously, Xu Shaoting bound himself to him.

"This restaurant is yours, and I believe you have a way to deal with Lin Jingui!"

"It's said to be mine, but it really was brought back to life with your help back then."

Xu Shaoting immediately defended himself.

Thinking back, I realized I had misunderstood her because I thought she was selling the same item to multiple people.

In retrospect, it was precisely because of her help that Yunlaiju came to be what it is today.

"Besides, the seasoning packets for the braised pork in the shop are still supplied by you, and you also supply half of the fish balls. It's not wrong to say that my restaurant is half yours!"

Qin Yu did not take advantage of the situation.

She knew that Xu Shaoting was genuinely worried that she would leave halfway through.

So the conversation was essentially trying to link the two of them together.

This actually shows that he had already considered himself and her as one.

Actually, I'm more worried.

Even a fallen camel from the Lin family is bigger than a horse; sooner or later, the Lin family will find out that Qin Yu is behind him.

He was also worried that the Lin family would offer generous terms to win Qin Yu over.

Qin Yu had seen his eyes and understood the meaning behind his words.

However, as long as Xu Shaoting doesn't intend to discard her after using her, she won't turn around and leave.

"Now that things are settled, I'll be the head chef tomorrow night to celebrate opening a new path in Qingshui!"

This is indeed a happy thing.

It is certainly something to celebrate.

Qin Yu held the second half of the manuscript.

"This is the manuscript for the second volume. Give it to Cui Ming; I have other things to do!"

Qin Yu handed the written document to Xu Shaoting.

The two agreed to celebrate at a restaurant, and Qin Yu then left the restaurant.

But before he could walk more than a few steps out of the restaurant, he was stopped by someone.

Qin Yu looked him up and down.

In the dim candlelight, the newcomer was dressed in a long black robe.

The person in front of me was slightly overweight and had a fierce look on his face.

His lips were pressed down, and his expression was serious, even somewhat angry.

He stood tall with his back straight, and the thumb ring on his hand was wide and large.

The jewelry he wore was predominantly gold, giving the impression that he was wealthy at first glance.

A man in his late twenties, who looked extremely greasy and oily.

The man was accompanied by someone who was a little older than him.

He was in his forties and had a beard.

Her attitude towards men was respectful yet not distant.

The older man whispered to the younger man.

Upon hearing the housekeeper's confirmation, Lin Jingui also began to scrutinize Qin Yu from head to toe.

Lin Jingui's eyes lit up, and he began to caress the jade thumb ring in his hand.

His eyes, however, made no attempt to conceal his gaze as he looked her up and down.

Stunning, astonishing, yet tinged with aggression and a touch of lewdness.

Qin Yu thought that this person probably wanted to learn the authority of a superior, but unfortunately, he only had the air of a thug.

Unaware of their purpose, she stepped aside and prepared to leave.

Lin Jingui quickly spoke up.

"You are Miss Qin?"

The butler glanced at the young master, but when his eyes met, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

He had inquired about it very thoroughly.

This woman was no ordinary girl; she had a son with her own father, and her husband died unexpectedly.

She was a young and very beautiful widow.

Even when Lin Jingui hadn't seen the person, he was full of contempt.

Why are you suddenly calling her "girl" now?

The butler didn't correct his young master; he simply wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.

His intuition told him that his young master seemed to have some inappropriate thoughts and had forgotten about important matters!

Before Qin Yu could speak, Xu Shaoting hurriedly led Cui Ming downstairs.

She stood beside Qin Yu.

With a wave of his hand, the waiter and the shopkeeper behind him stepped forward.

"Lin Jingui, what are you doing?"

Xu Shaoting blocked Qin Yu behind him, looking at Lin Jingui with a resistant gaze.

He had thought Lin Jingui would try something underhanded.

To his surprise, this person actually stopped him at his door.

They really don't respect him at all.

Lin Jingui was taken aback when he saw these people suddenly stand up.

He then pretended nothing had happened and immediately retorted.

"What? What did I do? I just wanted to invite this young lady to our restaurant. What are you doing? Are you trying to hit me?"

"Hmph, your Jin Gui Restaurant is practically luring customers to other people's doorsteps. Is this something you'd do?"

Xu Shaoting was very disdainful; he knew what this person was thinking without even having to guess.

I just didn't expect this person to be so blatant.

Lin Jingui glanced at Qin Yu, who was being blocked by the two men.

A mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Look at what you're saying! Just because the guest has left your restaurant doesn't mean I can't say anything. Besides, the young lady didn't say anything. What are you doing? What are you afraid of?"
