Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

The advertisement shot by Ergou had not been completed yet, but a month later when Zhang Xiuhua arrived in the capital, she went to Youcai's place for dinner and saw the new product developed by Ergou.

Youcai saw her staring at the instant noodles and explained with a smile, "Ergou asked me to give him some advice. I think it's pretty good, and I asked the chef to taste it, and it's indeed pretty good. So he kept a few packets for you to try, so that he doesn't have to go back home."

Ergou has been very busy recently and can't travel all the way to the Northeast. He was shooting a commercial in the capital and came to Youcai on the way.

Zhang Xiuhua tasted the new product and it was really good, with a stronger flavor. It also smelled like beef, so I guess it was a soup made with butter.

"When will it start production?" This is what Zhang Xiuhua is most concerned about.

"We started production as soon as the formalities were completed." Youcai really admired Ergou's efficiency. "Four months ago, he told me that he wanted to build an instant noodle factory. Now, the formula, factory building, equipment, and various formalities have all been completed. He is really fast!"

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and nodded, "He makes money by being sensitive to the market. When others don't get involved, he gets in first to eat the meat. Others can only drink the soup."

At present, there are only domestic instant noodles in China, and there are no private instant noodle factories. If Ergou succeeds in doing so and then starts production nationwide, he will definitely make money very quickly!

Youcai also recognized Ergou's ability to make money. He also talked about another matter, "But he said before that he would shoot a TV series, but now he doesn't want to do it anymore."

"The second film he shot didn't pass the review. He was a little angry and planned to wait a little longer." Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "He will invest again. This industry is too new and there is no review process yet. Once it is established, he will enter the market again."

It suddenly dawned on you.

Zhang Xiuhua asked him, "You will be a senior soon. What are your plans for next year? Do you plan to continue running the barbecue restaurant?"

Youcai doesn't actually need to watch over this barbecue restaurant. Two salesmen can handle it, and the business is very good. Youcai will go to Master Zheng's hotel to help whenever he has time. But to be honest, it's better to be your own boss than to work for others. This way, Zhenzhen will also look up to him.

Youcai was also hesitant, "Aunt Zhang, if I open a restaurant myself, will the chef be angry?"

"What's wrong? You mentioned it to him and he's unhappy?" Zhang Xiuhua felt that Master Zheng was not such a stingy person.

"No!" Youcai scratched his head, "I think so myself."

"You're not opening a store across the street from him." Zhang Xiuhua was a little amused. "The capital is so big, and he opened a store in this district. You can open a store in Chaoyang District or Yongding District. They are so far away, and there will be few overlapping customers, and you won't steal his business. If you really feel bad about it, you can open a store in another city. Pengcheng, Yangcheng, Shanghai are all fine. The development there is no worse than the capital."

Youcai shook his head like a rattle, "No! It's too far away."

Zhang Xiuhua understood. He didn't want to open a store outside. He just didn't want to leave Zhenzhen. Since he mentioned this, she asked, "How are you and Zhenzhen doing?"

Youcai's cheeks turned slightly red, and he stuttered a little, "It's... It's okay."

Zhang Xiuhua saw this expression and felt something was wrong. "Did you talk?"

Youcai hesitated, "No...no."

"Then why are you so shy!" Zhang Xiuhua was a little helpless. He and Guoxiang grew up together, and Guoxiang and his girlfriend progressed so quickly, but when it came to Youcai, he acted like a pure boy. "What stage are you guys at?"

"I followed everything you taught me. I bought her fruits, gave her gifts, and praised her." Youcai was a good student and answered everything in detail. "She also smiled at me often."

"Have you confessed your feelings?" Zhang Xiuhua thought there was something going on and asked again. She wanted to protect his privacy before and didn't keep asking him questions. She was afraid that the girl would think that Youcai was a mama's boy. But this child really needs to be taught. He is just a piece of wood and needs her to push him. She was really getting anxious.

Youcai opened his mouth and said, "Are you going to confess now?"

Zhang Xiuhua's face darkened. "I told you not to confess within a month, and it's been several months now. Why aren't you in a hurry at all?!"

Oh my god, this child is completely different from what he looks like. Really...

She raised her hand and said, "Don't tell Zhenzhen what I taught you in the future. Otherwise, she will look down on you! I can't afford to lose face as a person."

When he opened the shop, Youcai was quite decisive and took care of all the formalities by himself. But when it came to dating, he needed her to be his pusher.

Youcai scratched his head and said hesitantly, "I think Zhenzhen treats me very well now. I'm afraid that Zhenzhen will treat me badly after I confess my feelings."

Zhang Xiuhua understood. It wasn't that he didn't want to confess his feelings, but he was obviously afraid of being rejected by Zhenzhen. She sighed, "But I think Zhenzhen is sending you a signal. If you don't catch it, she might think you are not interested in her at all. Then she will accept other people's kindness, and then you will..."

Before she finished her words, Youcai was in a hurry to rush out. Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to run away like last time. This time she wasn't giving a gift, but a confession. "Who would agree if you leave with nothing?"

Youcai had already run to the door, and came back panting, "Then what should I take?"

He looked around and there didn't seem to be anything to give away at home.

Zhang Xiuhua was helpless. "Go buy a bouquet of flowers!" She was worried that he had bought the wrong ones. "Remember to buy red roses. A big bouquet of flowers. Don't be stingy!"

Youcai nodded wildly, "I see, what else?"

"Just act freely in the lines and express your feelings to her." Zhang Xiuhua felt that it was inappropriate for her to do this, so she paused and said, "If she rejects you, don't get angry and scold her. You have to respect her."

Zhang Xiuhua is particularly disgusted by the fact that if a man fails to express his love, he will insult the woman. It is right to reject such a man because he has a problem with his character. She does not want Youcai to become that kind of person.

Youcai shook his head, "No. She doesn't like me, which only means that she doesn't like people like me. She is not wrong, and I am not wrong either!"

"It's good that you think this way. Whether it's okay or not, you are all brothers and sisters from the same school, and we should be conscientious." Zhang Xiuhua patted his shoulder, "Don't be nervous. If I were you, Zhenzhen would definitely like you, otherwise she wouldn't treat you well."

Youcai took a deep breath and said, "Okay! I will definitely perform well."

Zhang Xiuhua encouraged him, "By the way, ask her to go to a western restaurant. The atmosphere there is more romantic."

"You own a restaurant, but you go on a date at someone else's?" Youcai looked at her in surprise.

"It would be so embarrassing to be seen by acquaintances while having a date in your own restaurant." Zhang Xiuhua patted his shoulder, "Just tell her that you want to invite her to try the dishes together so that you can learn how to cook. She will definitely be willing to go with you."

Youcai thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

The next day, Youcai made an appointment with Zhenzhen for dinner after class. Zhang Xiuhua ordered flowers for him in advance. Flowers at this time were not easy to order, so she walked around several nearby streets and finally saw a flower shop in Wangfujing. It took her three or four hours to buy this bouquet of flowers. If Youcai hadn't had class and no time to buy, Zhang Xiuhua would not have helped him. It was so tiring!

Youcai took the flowers and ran away in a hurry, but turned back halfway and stuffed money into her hand, "Aunt Zhang, go to the restaurant to eat by yourself. I won't accompany you."

Zhang Xiuhua looked down and saw several hundred yuan. "This brat, it's just a bouquet of flowers, why would he spend so much money on it?"

She finally went to the Zheng family's restaurant. She ordered two dishes by herself. When Master Zheng saw her eating alone, he asked, "Did Youcai accompany you?"

"She asked Zhenzhen to go and try the food." Zhang Xiuhua invited him to eat with her.

Chef Zheng ordered another dish from the kitchen, and then talked to her about Youcai's situation. "Youcai will graduate next year, and my health is not good. He is my only successor, and I want Youcai to stay and be a chef. He has been hesitant and has not given me an answer."

Zhang Xiuhua told Youcai about his dilemma, "This kid has a lot of concerns. He wants to open his own store, but he's afraid it will affect your business. If he stays here, I'm worried that he will be influenced by Zhenzhen."
