    Ye Hongliang entered the door holding two transparent lunch boxes.

    "Small steamed buns?" Qi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

    "Yeah. I just met a small employee outside who said it was very delicious. His eyes were so sincere, I was a little curious, haha." Ye Hongliang pushed away the dishes sent by Jiang's restaurant before without regret, and put the steamed buns in them.The takeaway box is placed in the center.

    "The new order is still on the way and will be delivered soon. Why don't you try this first."

    Ye Hongliang cherishes his job with an annual salary of over one million, so he bet his treasure on the steamed buns, of course, at the same time ordering meals from a five-star hotel.

    Ye Hongliang looked at the food box in his hand.

    However, among other things, the appearance of this steamed bun is pretty good.

    In the transparent lunch box, there are twelve exquisite and lovely steamed buns, the pleats are uniform and fine, and the pleats are dotted with orange-red crab roe.

    The slender skin is slightly flattened by the weight of the soup, and the color of the stuffing inside is faintly revealed.

    After opening the lid, a tempting fresh fragrance diffused out.It has been half an hour since the steamed stuffed bun was brought out from Feng Qianguan. Even though it was packed in an insulated bag, it could only keep warm, so the aroma could not penetrate the lunch box, but was locked inside.

    And at this moment...

    Ye Hongliang was refreshed, it smells so good!

    The boss thoughtfully prepared the dipping sauce sprinkled with shredded ginger, and when the dipping box was opened, a smell of rice vinegar that stimulated the appetite came out.

    How does this soup dumpling taste?Ye Hongliang was extremely curious.

    However, the portion of soup filled dumplings is only enough for one person, and he can't taste the taste for the time being.

    Ye Hongliang was biting the lion's head of Jiang's restaurant without taste, while watching Qi Yan wipe his hands with a wet tissue, lifted the chopsticks he had put down before, and picked up the steamed bun.

    The xiao long bao was made into a beautiful lantern shape by the soup inside.

    "Gudong." Ye Hongliang swallowed subconsciously.

    Then, he saw his boss eating the soup dumplings gracefully. He paused for a while, then picked up the second one, and ate it again...

    One after the other, after a few minutes, the two boxes of xiaolongbao were emptied.

    Clear, liquidate!

    Qi Yan put down his chopsticks and looked at the takeaway bag beside him.There is the restaurant's logo on it: two bright red maple leaves, plus "Feng Qianguan" in three flowing brush characters.

    "Feng Qianguan? Make a note of their phone number."

    I go!Ye Hongliang was shocked in his heart.

    It was the first time he saw the boss eating so fast!And the end of his eyes was soft all the way, not the usual stern expression at all, but also looking like he planned to be a repeat customer!

    What kind of soup dumpling is it?!

    Ye Hongliang was so greedy that the ginger dishes in his mouth were tasteless.

    After the dinner episode ended, the executives continued to watch Qi Yan look up their documents in fear.

    In another change, Jiang Ci sold out the last xiaolongbao and closed the business.

    After sending Aunt Liang away, Jiang Ci did not leave immediately, but sat down in front of the counter and settled down for a while.

    At this time, it has been more than half a month since she opened the store. Since the daily dishes are limited, her turnover is actually relatively stable. After more than ten days, the turnover is also less than 100,000.

    Jiang Ci pursed her lips and calculated, after deducting expenses such as costs, shop rent, Aunt Liang's salary, etc., her income dropped by more than half in an instant, and she knew that she would have to pay taxes on these incomes, so she didn't know how much this part would be, Let the professionals do the math.

    However, Jiang Ci is still very satisfied with the start of such a new store.

    After thinking about the itinerary for the next day, Jiang Ci took out a piece of rice paper and wrote a vacation notice.

    Jiang Ci was born in a family of kitchen gods in her previous life. Although the focus of the family was on cooking, the background was quite profound. She was forced to practice calligraphy for a while when she was young, and she worked hard. Although her handwriting could not be compared with well-known masters at that time, but it can also be called exquisite pen and ink.

    At least it's the top of the cook.

    Liang Hui actually wanted to say something about the boss's behavior of buying rice paper and using pen and ink, but she figured it out before she said it.

    Creatures like the boss may have a bit of a hobby. Her former factory manager didn't write, but he also liked to collect calligraphy and paintings!

    Boss Jiang just went one step further!

    Jiang Ci didn't know the brain circuit of the cashier aunt. At this moment, her eyes were slightly lowered, her wrist was hanging lightly, and she was concentrating on writing the notice with the most beautiful words.

    Always be very serious about what you present to your diners.

    The same goes for notifications.

    [The shop owner is out and closed on Saturday.]

    After finishing writing, Jiang Ci smiled with satisfaction. The big characters were elegant and graceful, which complemented her Feng Qianguan's antique decoration without being obtrusive at all.

    ...

    The next day, Jiang Ci slept late, cleaned up for a while after noon, and then set off for the outskirts of the city.

    Little Jiang Ci grew up in City A. Before she was thirteen years old, she lived in a villa area on the outskirts of the city, and was the jewel in the Jiang family's palm.

    After her mother passed away and her father reunited, she first moved into the dormitory at the school, and then she simply came out to live alone.

    The wealthy communities on the outskirts of the city are full of detached villas with small courtyards. They are quiet and there are almost no pedestrians on the road.

    Jiang Ci walked on the wet road that had just been swept, took a deep breath of the slightly cold air, raised her eyes to look at the villa at the end of the boulevard, and suddenly felt a little resentment and sadness in her heart.

    This kind of emotion is very strange, Jiang Ci pondered, maybe this is the emotion left in her heart by the original body, or it may be the emotion that she automatically generated after inheriting the memory of the original body.

    It was "her" father's birthday, but "she" didn't feel any joy at all, and even had a faint resistance to going into that villa and contacting those people.

    It has been more than a month since Jiang Ci came to this world after "she" passed away.In the past few dozen days, Jiang's father has not contacted his daughter at all, and has not inquired about what she is doing.

    "She" has not received living expenses for several years since high school, and lived in the villa for less than a month a year. During this period, she was ridiculed by her stepmother and step-sister, and treated coldly by her biological father.

    The birthday present that "she" gave in the past was discarded by her father, and the phone call "she" made to her father was perfunctorily hung up.Even, the step-sister has caused "her" a lot of trouble.

    Jiang Ci chewed on the memories of the original body, her eyes dimmed slightly.

    There is no need to continue these relationships.

    She raised her eyebrows and walked forward.

    Although Jiang Haichao's birthday party was held at home, it was not just a private party for his family, he also invited his close business partners.

    The gate of the courtyard was specially decorated, with an elegant sign, and the plants beside it were replaced with golden orchid and podocarpus.

    Jiang Ci was welcomed by the aunt who lived in the house. She took off the cold coat and held it in her hand. She raised her eyes and saw several familiar elders, and greeted them with a smile.

    These were his father's business partners, and before he was thirteen, little Jiang Ci used to play at their home.

    Jiang Ci: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Wang, long time no see."

    "Oh! Xiao Ci! I haven't seen you for a long time, and you look more and more beautiful!" The elegantly dressed woman showed a look of being surprised. She had seen Xiao Jiang Ci before, but in her memory, Xiao CiAlthough Jiang Ci is beautiful, her temperament is average.

    In front of her eyes, a girl with snowy skin and red lips was smiling, and her slim turtleneck sweater perfectly complemented her slender figure.

    She looks bright, clean, and generous, and she attracts people's eyes unconsciously.

    "That's right! Last time I saw you, you were still a high school student, so you're so beautiful now!" another middle-aged man in a casual suit praised.

    In the living room, Jiang Haichao was obviously taken aback when he saw Jiang Ci like this.

    His daughter is actually so beautiful?

    She came to celebrate his birthday?Have you finally figured it out and are willing to please him?

    Jiang Haichao doesn't have much affection for this daughter, one is because he has no relationship with his ex-wife, and the other is because after his remarriage, the daughter in front of him is reserved and silent, and often gives him soft nails.

    When Jiang Haichao was preparing to hold a family banquet, he never thought of notifying Jiang Ci to come back, and didn't even reserve a seat for her.

    But at this time, seeing the expressions of admiration or envy from his friends, Jiang Haichao thought that maybe he could reserve an extra place for his daughter.

    "You're back." Jiang Haichao cleared his throat, took the initiative to say an opening remark, and then waited for Jiang Ci's congratulations and kind words.

    Jiang Ci looked at her "father" and smiled without emotion: "Well, it just so happens that it's the weekend, come back and get something."

    get something?

    Jiang Haichao didn't wait for what he wanted to hear, so he was a little confused, and then he heard the conversation develop uncontrollably.

    "Xiaoci, you only come back on weekends now. You are working in the city, so you go home on weekends?"

    "No, I don't live here, I'll leave after I get my things."

    "Let's go? Don't you want to eat together? Today is your dad's birthday!"

    "Haha, Aunt Wang, eat well, and I won't. There is no room for me at today's birthday party."

    "Nonsense! How could you not keep your place?"

    The woman was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on her face. She wanted to continue asking, but she heard Jiang Haichao's cold voice, "Jiang Ci, come here!"

    ...

    study.

    Jiang Haichao looked angrily at his daughter in front of him, wanting to scold him, but worried that the guest was still at home, he held back his tone with difficulty.

    Just now, Jiang Ci was full of smiles, and her tone was brisk, not at all like the restrained and angry way she used to be.

    Jiang Haichao felt very strange, and at the same time, he could vaguely hear the ridicule that was about to drive him mad.

    Usually, whenever Jiang Ci saw his face like this, he would automatically shrink back and feel scared.But at this moment, the person in front of him looked cold, his beautiful eyes looked at him indifferently, and he stood in a leisurely and casual manner, as if he was not afraid of him at all, nor did he take him seriously.

    Jiang Haichao had never seen Jiang Ci like this.

    "What do you mean?" Jiang Haichao gritted his teeth.

    "Nothing interesting, come back and get something."

    "Take what?"

    "Bank card, passport." Jiang Ci thought for a while, "I'll get the account book later."

    Jiang Haichao was stunned, and reacted for a while, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and there was strong anger in his voice: "Do you want to separate?"

    Jiang Ci looked at the old middle-aged man in front of him, looked at the oily radiance and grooves on his face, paused for two seconds, smiled, and acquiesced.

    Jiang Haichao felt that he was disobeyed, and immediately became furious. He raised his hand and swept away, and the things on the table slammed on the ground with a clatter.

    "You unscrupulous guy! I'll feed you and clothe you. How dare you step out of this door if you're feeding me so much? I'm telling you, you'll sit down and eat properly later, you don’t even want to get a penny from me again!”

    Jiang Ci looked at the blue-faced Jiang Haichao, and kindly reminded: "I haven't taken any money from you since high school, don't worry, I didn't count on your retirement money either."

    Jiang Haichao was blocked, he was slightly stunned for two seconds, and then he stared and said: "Nonsense! Where have you swallowed the money you paid every month, how dare you blame your father for spending money indiscriminately."

    Jiang Ci raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked back, "What do you think?"

    When Jiang Ci left home, Jiang Haichao would send 10,000 yuan to her card every month, but the money was cut off within three months, and was cut off by her stepmother for several years.

    Jiang Haichao didn't want to quarrel with his current wife, so he turned a blind eye.

    Living expenses for my daughter?It's more like pocket money for ladies.

    Little Jiang Ci is not yet an adult, and often relies on her grandmother's support to barely survive.

    Jiang Ci knew that such a thing could happen, it cannot be said to be absurd, it can only be said that Jiang Haichao knew it well and acquiesced.He thought that if he didn't care about Xiao Jiangci, Zhao Sulan would take care of him.But he didn't expect that he would still have the face to mention this matter in a moment of impatience.

    Jiang Haichao was actually a little taller than Jiang Ci, but at this moment, the girl's chin was raised slightly, her eyes were cold, and her red lips curled into a faint mocking smile, Jiang Haichao suddenly felt a deep strangeness.

    He found that he hadn't looked at Jiang Ci for a long time, and after looking at each other, he actually had a feeling of being overlooked.

    Jiang Haichao realized that this was not the little girl's anger and venting, Jiang Ci was serious, she seriously wanted to leave him, and she had the ability to do so.

    He was disobeyed by his daughter.

    His daughter is leaving him.

    Jiang Haichao suddenly felt his heart constrict, he moved his lips, but said nothing.

    "Okay. You know some things in your heart. Don't make a bad face. Are you afraid that your partner will see it later?" Jiang Ci patted Jiang Haichao's shoulder, "It's so ugly."

    "I'm leaving."

    Jiang Ci followed her memory and returned to the room belonging to the original body. In about five minutes, she quickly found all the important personal documents and the bank card left by the original body.The sound of landing.

    Jiang Ci stepped on the background sound of the vase shattering and went downstairs.

    ...

    Jiang Xiaotang listened to the movement in the study in shock.

    She was just looking at how the desserts were being prepared after the birthday party, when she came out of the kitchen, she saw her mother looking at the front hall with a somewhat unnatural expression.

    Then, she saw the step-sister whom she hated.

    Jiang Xiaotang hadn't seen this step-sister for a long time since she had deflated her in front of Jiang Ci's internship company last time.

    Jiang Ci looked so good-looking even when he was in a mess, which made Jiang Xiaotang very angry, and felt a little ashamed for no reason.

    But at that time Jiang Ci was still not aggressive.She is silent, submissive and easy to handle.

    Where is it like now?

    Jiang Xiaotang stared blankly at the scene where Jiang Ci greeted the elders, she lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly, but her words were hurt, which made her father so angry that he couldn't control his expression.

    Immediately afterwards, his father's furious voice came from the study, and Jiang Ci, who walked out of the room, did not have red eyes like before.Her expression was calm and casual, as if it was none of her who went crazy behind her, but a clown on the street.

    Even, she came over to herself.

    Jiang Xiaotang was taken aback for a moment, then straightened up unconsciously, and glared at Jiang Ci.

    Jiang Xiaotang bit her lip: "You come..."

    Jiang Ci brushed past her, and Jiang Xiaotang realized that she had misunderstood - the direction of the gate was on her side, and Jiang Ci was going to leave.

    Hearing her voice, Jiang Ci looked back at her, nothing could be seen in her eyes, only a pure smile, as if those things had never happened in the past.

    Jiang Ci smiled: "Xiaotang, long time no see."

    Such Jiang Ci frightened Jiang Xiaotang even more, she felt her heart pounding.Obviously when she bullied Jiang Ci before, she was aboveboard, and she was not afraid of letting others know, but now she regrets it a bit.

    What does she want to do?Does she hold a grudge?Why is she looking at herself like that?

    Jiang Ci didn't stay long, she turned her head and said goodbye to the acquainted guests.

    "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Wang, I'm leaving first, goodbye." Jiang Ci put on his coat, leaving behind a few surprised guests, leaving the gate of the villa and walking into the cold wind.

    The phone started to vibrate crazily, Jiang Ci took it out and took a look, Jiang Haichao sent several voice messages.

    "You don't even want to get a penny from me!"

    "Get out! The Jiang family won't have your place in the future! The Jiang family won't have any of your property!"

    "I'll see if you can support yourself after you go out, don't beg me later!"

    Jiang Haichao gradually became incoherent.

    Jiang Ci didn't continue to listen. When she saw Jiang's property, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

    The Jiang family runs the most famous catering group in city A and dominates the most famous restaurant group in city A.When Jiang Ci first came to this world, she also took the time to try it. After all, she is deeply interested in all delicacies.

    But after trying several, she just felt that it was mediocre.

    The manager has no inheritance and vision, and the chef hired at a high price cannot be said to be an idiot, but it is indeed not very brilliant. The restaurant's passenger flow has not been too overwhelmed for the time being thanks to the brand and publicity, but in fact the repeat customers have already disappeared.increasingly rare.

    She could see that within a few years, if the Jiang family did not make a breakthrough, then their business would come to an end.

    But this kind of industry is still a treasure of the Jiang family, and Jiang Haichao is always proud of it.

    Jiang Ci blocked Jiang Haichao and cut off his constant insults.

    As for Jiang Xiaotang, the original body hated it.However, those things Jiang Xiaotang did were actually small troubles, not to the point of breaking the law.When the Jiang family passed, Jiang Xiaotang also passed.

    Jiang Ci even thanked Jiang Xiaotang for taking Wei Haoze away from the original body.

    In the night wind, Jiang Ci let out a breath slowly.

    She came and went alone, and she knew that in the bottom of her heart, Yuan wanted to make a clean end.

    For now, she's done with it.

    ...

    Jiang Ci didn't go home directly, but went to Feng Qianguan. She had to prepare the broth for the next day in advance.

    On the way, Jiang Ci calculated the deposits in several bank cards he got from Jiang's family.It contains some pocket money that Yuanzheng saved when she was a child, including a lot of money given to her by her grandmother, which adds up to a small hundred thousand.

    When approaching Feng Qianguan, Jiang Ci saw from a distance three young men with their buttocks pouted, their faces almost pressed against the glass door, sneaking into her shop.

    Jiang Ci's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly became a little nervous.She held her breath and walked over lightly.

    As approached, heard several people sighing.

    "Boss Jiang is closed today... I've been working overtime this week, and I haven't eaten at all. I finally came here on Saturday, and that's it."

    "Shouldn't Saturday be the busiest day! Why is it a holiday on Saturday!"

    "What should I do? I've been looking forward to it all day, and now I want to cry. Boss Jiang, don't be caught by me at this time."

    "But this character is quite beautiful... Xuan paper pen and ink, the writing is so beautiful, did you specially show it to me?"

    "It's pretty good, don't write it next time."

    Jiang Ci: "..."
