Feng Yuxuan did turn her head to look at him, and he was even more motivated to continue. 'Besides, you've been the one supporting this noodle shop all along, working yourself to death year-round while they do nothing but think about splitting the money, right!'
I'm sure these words have reached her heart, Shi Shuwei thought to himself.
But what happened next was very different from what he had expected. Feng Yuxuan had listened, but after he had finished speaking, she slammed her soup bowl down on the table so hard that the fish ball soup inside splashed out, some of it almost splashing in his face.
'Mr. Shi, right? If it weren't for Yufang's face, I would pour this bowl of soup in your face right now. Do you believe it? What do you know? What do you know? Who do you think you are? How dare you provoke a rift between me and my family? What's in your heart? You're still thinking about me? Do I need your help? Do I know you well? Am I stupid or dumb? Or am I not as capable as you, so I need your help to think for me? What do you take me for? Some brainless little girl? You'd better think about yourself first!
There are things I didn't want to say, but according to you, you started taking on projects outside the company in the 1980s, and you've met all kinds of leaders and officials, so how come you still haven't made a name for yourself? Even your wife divorced you. If I were you, I would have found a piece of tofu to crash into, spit to drown in, and a piece of noodle to hang myself with. How dare you lecture me on how to behave!'
'Yuxuan, forget it,' Zhou Yufang saw the sudden change in the atmosphere in just a few words, and quickly persuaded Feng Yuxuan, 'Xiao Hu, you should tell your friend to keep quiet.'
This man surnamed Shi is a friend of Xiao Hu's, and Zhou Yufang is meeting him for the first time today. All along, she has only felt that he is a bit oily, but she never imagined that he would be so rude. They are not children, and everyone can see his petty thoughts. But saying such things to Feng Yuxuan on the first meeting is just too self-satisfied.
'Forget it? Yufang, who did you bring here? You are all grown up, have you lived to see it all?'
Feng Yuxuan's mouth has always been very impressive. At this time, it was like a machine gun sweeping past. Shi Weiji's face on the opposite side turned from green to red, but he still insisted on sneering and smiling, 'Yuxuan, look at you, why are you so anxious? I'm not thinking about you, and I have a good heart!'
'Is this your good heart? Good-heartedly provoking my relationship with my family? You are truly a donkey's liver and lungs!'
She didn't bother to respond to what Shi Wei wanted to say, stood up, grabbed her bag, and said to Yu Fang, 'Yu Fang, let's go home.'
If Feng Yiping were here, he would definitely jump for joy. The person who once charmed his sister was now nothing in her eyes.
Everyone has a bottom line. In front of outsiders, even if family members are a thousand times worse, ordinary people will generally help cover it up, not to mention that this is not the case in the family.
After hearing Shi's words, Feng Yuxuan was even more angry. She began to think more or less the same way when her parents clarified the property ownership structure.
Her younger brother had such a big business, and the noodle shop hadn't done well, so why did he have to compete with her for the noodle shop? And her parents insisted on giving her younger brother more shares than her?
Later, she really figured it out. Her mother was right. She didn't make the noodle shop successful; the noodle shop made her successful.
And the reason the noodle shop has achieved so much today is that when they first opened it, her younger brother planned everything, from the location and decoration to the formulation of so many procedures and rules. After that was perfected, all that was needed to be done later was to replicate it. She herself had just followed the same old routine, sticking to the same old stuff, without any major innovations.
Shi Xie's words were almost exactly what she had been thinking at the time, which was why she felt so embarrassed. She thought to herself that she would call her parents and younger brother right away.
'Don't be angry, Yuxuan. Xiao Hu knows him a little better, and I don't know this Shi very well either. I didn't know he was like this.' Zhou Yufang felt a little embarrassed.
'It's fine. It's just that meeting someone like this is a turn-off.' Feng Yuxuan took her hand. 'Have you eaten enough? Why don't we buy some pickled vegetables and go back for a drink?' The two of them actually had a bit of a drinking capacity.
'Great!'
Feng Yuxuan and the others left, leaving the two embarrassed men sitting there. 'Laoshi,' Xiao Hu was also a little upset. Zhou Yufang did have other girlfriends, but the bond with this god-sister was unmatched by any of the others. This trip was supposed to be a chance to reconnect, but now, 'what you said today was really a bit forward.'
'Yes, yes, Xiao Hu, blame me today, alas, a single mistake! Come, let's continue, we'll pay for today's meal.'
Zhou Yufang entered the room and said, 'Yuxuan, your home is really beautifully decorated.'
Although several years have passed and the trends in decoration have changed several times, the decoration of this house still looks absolutely up-to-date.
'Isn't it beautiful? My brother-in-law's decoration company did it, and my brother came up with the design. He said it would be fashionable for at least ten to twenty years. By the way, you've decorated your new house, haven't you? It's a pity. You should have used our decoration company. I'm not just blowing my own horn, but even in the province, Jiasheng Decoration is definitely the best decoration company.'
'Yes, it's a pity. The decoration company that Xiaohu's family hired will finish decorating our house next month,' Zhou Yufang looked around the house, 'You're living alone in such a big house, aren't you afraid at night?'
'Haha, what's mine compared to my brother's place? It's two floors, over 300 square meters, and there's a big yard of over 300 square meters. He's so small, but he's not afraid to live in such a big house, so what am I afraid of?'
Zhou Yufang arranged the pickled vegetables she had brought back, and Feng Yuxuan quickly boiled some chicken soup with various kinds of meatballs from the fridge. It would take a while for them to cook. 'Yufang, you watch TV while I call my parents.
Feng Yuxuan didn't really know what to say, but she really felt that she had been a bit thoughtless during the time when they divided up the shares. She understood today that the reason why her parents were so anxious to settle the shares of the noodle shop was that they were worried that she would find a husband who didn't understand things, and that if she was encouraged, she might really do something to make her family sad.
The reason for giving some to her younger brother is not only because of his contribution, but also because her parents are afraid that if something really happens to her, they won't know how to handle it, so they must make sure that her younger brother is also committed to the noodle shop.
But these words are not easy to say, so she apologises to her parents for no reason. Forget it, it's better if she understands in her heart. 'Dad, have you eaten yet? Have you been busy these past two days?'
'We're about to go to bed, is everything okay on your end?' Feng Zhanchang says.
'No, everything's fine. It's cold, so tell the two people watching the factory to be careful when they're by the fire,'
The two factories in the village are built between a few houses, so they're not backed up against anything. He still asked two people to help keep an eye on them at night.
'Don't worry, I already told them to wear more clothes, keep the quilt thicker, and not to let the fire out of their sight at any time.'
'That's good, you go to bed early,'
'You go to bed early too, don't work too late.'
