"I'm waiting for someone."

Jing Se recognized at a glance that the rich lady in front of him was the girl who wore whitish cotton and talked to him about being poor that day. He lowered his voice and jokingly said, "Miss, did you ask around before going out today?"

"No." Gu Qinghe was busy hiding from recognition, so she didn't have the time to chat with others. "I heard about the county magistrate's case from my family before. Wasn't it solved by a kind-hearted girl in the end? How come it was sealed again?"

"The girl is indeed a secluded lady who never leaves her house." Jing Se's mouth, hidden under the scarf, twitched fiercely, and said unhappily, "Didn't your master tell you that the seizure was caused by that girl of unknown origin and good heart you mentioned?"

Jing Se got angry when he thought about how Yu Jin brought a group of detectives to search the restaurant three days ago, completely disregarding the mutual respect between the two of them.

Gu Qinghe also heard something was wrong at this time, and stared at him with wide eyes: "Jingse?"

"Miss, you've kept me waiting for so long." Jing Se pulled off her silk scarf and said with a fake smile, "A little girl who can make Yu Mutou helpless, I will be convinced even if I have to wait till the end of time."

"..."

Gu Qinghe blinked: "Sir, you are too polite. I have come as scheduled for the three-day appointment."

For three days, Jing Se had been hiding in the restaurant, worried that she would not come because of fear. After she recognized him, she still did not want to take off her veil to talk to him face to face, and said with a breath: "Miss Gu, are you not going to discuss cooperation? The house address you gave before was nonsense to deceive Yu Mu. Don't let the 50-50 argument between you and me be counted now. This young master has been waiting for you for a long time, you can't lie to me again!"

"No." Gu Qinghe took out the recipe and dragon whisker pastry from his bag and said clearly, "Young Master, try my new tiger whisker pastry. If you think it's okay, you can sign the last bamboo slip today."

"Tiger whisker pastry?" Jing Se picked up a ball of dragon whisker pastry from the wooden box and tasted it. It tasted just as good. He put away his pretentious temper and praised sincerely, "Is this its name? It tastes just as good as it does. The whiskers are like silk threads and taste crispy and sweet. Not bad!"

Gu Qinghe signed the last contract and got the first pot of gold, feeling good. Jingse asked Manager Liu to prepare the ingredients on the recipe, and Gu Qinghe demonstrated in the back kitchen of the restaurant. The chef Jingse found had more than 20 years of cooking experience, and it was very smooth for him to make new food for the first time, and she was also very happy to teach him.

After more than an hour of hard work, the work was finally done. Gu Qinghe went to wash her hands, intending to get information. While washing, she asked the young master who was overseeing the work: "Sir, do you know who the county magistrate is looking for?"

Seeing her intention, Jing Se smiled and said, "You are such a beautiful and kind girl, but you don't know about this. How can I, a mere merchant, know about this?"

"... Sir, you are joking." The casual remark was seen through and ridiculed. Fortunately, Gu Qinghe had a strong psychological quality. "You are such a discerning person. Just being a merchant can't suppress you."

Jing Se accepted her compliment with a clear conscience. He did not answer her question directly. Instead, he asked about her strange cousin: "How is your brother these days?"

Gu Qinghe said: "The golden wound medicine is quite good."

The implication is that my brother has recovered well.

Jing Se said meaningfully: "Pay more attention to your brother, maybe there will be a surprise."
