In the dance practice room these two days, a slender figure can often be seen dancing under the lights, and even Li Zhen, who doesn't have much impression of Hua Manyi, can't help but sigh.

"This girl can really bear it, her feet are swollen and she is still jumping." Li Zhen stood at the door and looked inside, knocking on the melon seeds, "However, no matter how good she is at practicing, I don't think she can compare to Miss Fang."

Who is Sister Fang, Feng Hai's first sister, she is greeted by thousands of people as soon as she comes on stage, her figure, her voice... is enough to capture most of the young masters in the audience, how can a newcomer like her squeeze it out.

"That's not it, eh, Li Zhen," Zhu Zhaodi, who was standing next to Li Zhen, wore two braids, looked contemptuous, and lowered her voice to Li Zhen's ear and said, "I suspect that she came here just to steal Sister Fang's limelight."

Li Zhen's heart of gossip ignited, "How should I say it?"

Zhu Zhaodi looked around and saw no one, so she said, "Look, she signed a contract of selling herself with Gong's mother, and she was scolded again two days ago. I guess she is working so hard now to make Gong's mother look up to her. If I'm not wrong about the purpose, it must be Sister Fang's first sister status."

Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully, "What you said seems quite reasonable."

"Damn, you know the truth that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, right? Poor Sister Fang actually pleaded for her, and even almost got Gong Mama kicked out of the house. Sister Fang is really, and she is not afraid of raising a white-eyed wolf."

Zhu Zhaodi took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and gave half of them to Li Zhen, "You think so?"

Li Zhen took the melon seeds unceremoniously, and skillfully twisted one, "It's not impossible what you said."

"Li Zhen! Li Zhen!" Zhu Zhaodi suddenly called out in a low voice, "She came out."

"Just come out, what are you making such a fuss about?" Li Zhen was rather dissatisfied.

"You don't understand..." Zhu Zhaodi scolded, "If one day she really replaces Sister Fang, then we probably won't have a good life."

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Zhaodi stared at her resentfully, "Forget it, I can't tell you."

Hua Manyi wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, and wanted to go out to get some water to drink, but when she opened the door, she saw two people standing at the door. She froze for a moment, then nodded modestly, "Sisters, I'm going out to get some water to drink .”

However, Zhu Zhaodi in front of her looked her up and down, her fair face, a pair of talking eyes, even standing there quietly was enough to attract people's attention.Zhu Zhaodi's eyes were complicated and mixed with many intriguing things, and with an unfriendly "here", she reluctantly turned sideways to get out of the way.

"Thank you."

Hua Manyi didn't think too much, and continued to practice after drinking the water. The hard work of the past few days has achieved initial results. Not only can she dance out of "Spring is Like a Brocade", she even learned other songs and dances.

……

In a high-end French cafe next to the New Territories.

"Boss Lu, if you were sincere and really wanted to buy my batch of new Falcoplan wines, you wouldn't say such a price." Gong Yan turned cold and called the young waiter, "Pay the bill."

Seeing that someone was about to leave, Lu Ren became anxious, "Mrs. Gong, please stay!"

Gong Yan stopped and waited for him to speak.

Lu Ren scratched his head, "Mrs. Gong, I was reckless. You see, I just came to Haicheng not long ago, so I didn't think well. So, the price you offered, do you think so?"

Gong Yan waved his hand and made a request, "Since Boss Lu is interested, let's sign the contract."

After signing the contract, Gong Yan got into the Ford car, and Fu Bo asked in the driver's seat, "Madam, are you going to the winery or Fenghai now?"

"Fenghai."

"it is good."

The Ford car drove slowly through the street, and there was an endless stream of foreign pedestrians outside the window.Haicheng is becoming more and more prosperous, with twice as many foreigners as in the past, and new schools, girls' schools, and newspaper offices are no longer monopolized by the military.

Fu Bo hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Madam, may I ask, why is the newly brewed Falcoplan wine sold to Lu Ren? Over there at Yue Lai Restaurant?"

A few years ago when Haicheng opened up to the coast, all kinds of foreign wines were imported one after another, with various styles, not only catering to the pursuit of famous wines by upper-class businessmen, but also with more variety of tastes. It is suitable for women and has long seized the market.

At that time, Gong Yanpan was an old winery that was about to close down. In addition to importing foreign wines, it was more concerned with research and development and brewing of new wines. Now their Luhe Winery has almost become the purchase channel for famous wines in major hotels in Haicheng.

As for Lu Ren, he was just a young man, and he didn't know how long this newly opened restaurant could last under the oppression of other giants.

A newly brewed wine is sold to Lu Ren just like that. Isn't this unfriendly to other partners who have worked with him?

"The old guys in Yuelai Hotel have been complaining about the price of the contract. Do you think that the diarrhea scandal happened a while ago is because of our drinking problem?"

Forbe was shocked, "Ma'am, what do you mean?"

Last month, Yuelai Hotel revealed that a guest in their hotel had a problem with their wine. In order to lower the price of the wine, they did not make a big deal out of it first, and poured dirty water directly on their Luhe Winery, but this incident The purpose behind it is nothing more than to give them a wake-up call.As long as they make this matter a big deal, Luhe Winery will definitely end up with no good end. It is not impossible to face being returned by major restaurants, and even more serious bankruptcy is not out of the question.

Gong Yan took a puff of his cigarette and sneered.

……

Feng Hai's back kitchen is full of tension.

Hua Manyi was carrying a bucket and planned to get some hot water to wash her body, but Zhu Zhaodi in front of her told her that the hot water was gone.

"Then I can boil the water myself?" Hua Manyi just put down the bucket when Zhu Zhaodi stopped her.

"Hey, I need to keep this firewood for cooking breakfast tomorrow. You used it tonight, so what will Aunt Zhang use to cook tomorrow? It's freezing cold now, and the firewood in the warehouse will not be delivered until tomorrow night at least. Do you think about it?" Have you ever felt the feelings of Aunt Zhang? Don’t be so selfish, why did Aunt Zhang harm you, you are so vicious and want her to be scolded by all the brothers and sisters in Fenghai tomorrow. Don’t think that you used to be a rich lady, but here, You have to follow the rules!"

Aunt Zhang was obsequious, she wiped her apron on her waist, not knowing what to do, "Zhaodi..."

"Aunt Zhang, don't worry about it. With me here, no one can bully you." Zhu Zhaodi said with a righteous face, and her loud voice attracted many sisters who were changing shifts to come over.

"I..." Hua Manyi felt the strange eyes around her, talking a lot, as if she had really done something heinous and bad.

"Isn't it just to boil a bucket of water? It's so serious, I...wouldn't wash it at all." Hua Manyi clenched her lower lip, and an indescribable embarrassment rose from the bottom of her heart, driving her to flee here.

Turning around and walking out the door, when passing by the group of people, Zhu Zhaodi comforted Aunt Zhang behind her like a victory, "You can't get used to it, if Aunt Zhang dares to bully you again in the future, just tell us, Feng Hai's sisters will definitely stand by your side."

The other sisters who didn't know why only thought that the new Hua Manyi was playing the temper of the eldest lady, and unreasonably asked Aunt Zhang to serve her. They hated this behavior so much that they echoed Zhu Zhaodi.

With a snap, a sudden sound turned their eyes to the aisle, only to see that figure who had been running away in despair returned to them at some point, staring at Zhu Zhaodi expressionlessly.

If you look carefully, the fundus of those eyes are red and sour.

"Hua Manyi, what do you want to do?" Zhu Zhaodi was not afraid of her, but when she met Hua Manyi's eyes, she unconsciously took two steps back to give herself strength, "This is Feng Hai, if you want to hit someone , Be careful that Mama Gong will drive you out..."

"Even if you drive me out, I will beat you!" She has never been framed like this before, why should she be angry with her.

The more Hua Manyi thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, her eyes filled with crystal clear tears, but she grabbed the man's collar, raised her hand and slapped it down without any hesitation, "I didn't bully Aunt Zhang, why did you frame me? ...Why..."

As soon as Gong Yan got out of the car and before he entered the door, he saw Xiao Xiaofeng coming down the stairs in a hurry. It seemed to be Fang Yu, but after seeing her, his eyes lit up, "Mother Gong, go to the back kitchen to see Look, something is wrong, Hua Manyi and Zhu Zhaodi are fighting!"

"Fight?" It was Uncle Fu who asked back. It was the first time he heard two women fight in his old age.

Xiaoxiao was about to speak, when she saw a tall figure passing by in front of her eyes, walking straight to the back kitchen, she had no choice but to shut up and follow with small steps.

What Gong Yan saw when she rushed over was such a scene. The newcomer Hua Manyi who had just been trained by her was riding on Zhu Zhaodi, crying and slapping others, while Zhu Zhaodi covered her face with her hands and yelled loudly.

"What are you doing?!"

There was a sullen voice in the air, and the small space in the back kitchen suddenly fell silent.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." wailing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, there was a slap, and he was slapped again, which was clear and crisp, and everyone was dumbfounded.

"Do you still dare to frame me?" Hua Manyi said the most cruel words with her red and swollen eye sockets open.

Zhu Zhaodi was so frightened that she stopped crying, and shook her head frantically, "Don't dare...don't dare."

Only then did Hua Manyi look up at the figure at the door, trying to calm herself down, and before Gong Ma could speak, she took the first step, "I admit, it's wrong for me to hit someone, but Gong Ma, you just heard that she framed someone In the first place, I couldn't be more angry than hitting her."

Zhu Zhaodi originally wanted to explain to Gong's mother, but when she heard Hua Manyi's words, she suddenly woke up, and realized that Hua Manyi was telling her something, and asked her to admit that she had framed her.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out from behind, she looked at Gong Mama in fear, "Gong Mama, listen to my explanation..."

"You two come to my room."

……

In an elegant and atmospheric room, the woman sat on a rattan chair, her long legs raised, and she glanced at the two people at the table indifferently, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Hua Manyi didn't speak, she turned sideways and looked at Zhu Zhaodi aggrievedly, "I didn't provoke you, why did you frame me?"

Gong Yan: "..."

Zhu Zhaodi: "..." Didn't Mama Gong ask them to answer?

With two gazes on her face, Zhu Zhaodi still told the whole story, but faltered a few times in a low voice when she said that Hua Manyi asked Aunt Zhang to boil hot water for her.

Hua Manyi heard it, her eyes widened, and she raised her hands angrily, "Zhu Zhaodi, do you think I didn't hit enough? How dare you talk nonsense!"

"Enough!" Gong Yan raised his forehead and called to stop, this ancestor really refused to take any losses, "Zhu Zhaodi, go to the accountant and ask Steward Liu to pay you this month's monthly money, Feng Hai will not need to use it in the future."

"Mother Gong! Mother Gong, I was wrong..." Zhu Zhaodi regretted it endlessly. Although everyone despises Fengyuechang in Fenghai, the salary of being a maid inside is much higher than outside.

However, no matter how much she begged for mercy, Gong Yan would not be moved.

When the person was pulled away, Hua Manyi looked relieved, her face not showing, she knew that being a human being could not be cheap and acted like a good boy, bowing humbly, "Thank you Mama Gong for understanding righteousness, then... I will go back first."

"Stop," Gong Yan called to stop her, "Did I let you go?"

Hua Manyi pursed her lips and stepped back, "Mother Gong, if you want to drive me out, I have no complaints."

"Did I say to drive you away?" Gong Yan laughed angrily at her aggrieved appearance, and swept over Hua Manyi's buttocks, a large red stain had already soaked her skirt, and this little ancestor didn't seem to notice it.

Gong Yan coughed, "There is a bathroom inside, with running hot water."

Hua Manyi gave a puzzled "hmm".

"You're having a menstrual period."
