Shen Qiang was stunned, staring at the beautiful young woman Gao Hui for a solid five seconds before expressing his amazement, "Why refuse? The job would be much easier, you would have more time to spend with your children, and the income would be higher than what this little shop brings in."

The beautiful young woman Gao Hui smiled and said, "Shen Qiang, I actually understand. You're a very impressive doctor, so you must know a lot of influential people. If they are willing to offer me such a job, it must be out of respect for you."

"I haven't had much education, and I know nothing about being a secretary. If I accepted the job, it would just mean they were finding a roundabout way to give you money. So, I'm not refusing because it's not a good job, nor because I don't appreciate your kindness. It's just that I know what kind of person I am and what I'm really capable of doing."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang fell silent for a moment before saying, "You think that this job I found for you is actually a disguised bribe for me?"

The beautiful young woman Gao Hui laughed, "Of course, otherwise, why would such good things happen? My sister graduated with a Bachelor's degree, and she was the campus belle, yet the job she found pays only a few thousand a month. And there are so many rules to follow."

Looking at Shen Qiang, the beautiful young woman Gao Hui laughed, "So when you say they would offer me a salary of fifteen thousand, for such an easy job, with bonuses on top, it feels like a pie falling from the sky. I can't think of any boss who would foolishly hire an ignorant woman like me for such a high salary unless they were trying to curry favor with you."

Shen Qiang replied earnestly, "So that's the way you see it. What if I told you that the company wanting to hire you is my own company?"

The beautiful young woman Gao Hui looked slightly surprised, then replied seriously, "If you start a business and there is something I can do well, and you really need the help, I'd be willing to help. But I won't accept such a high salary, and I won't work as a secretary."

After a moment of silence, Shen Qiang said, "So you think you're not capable enough, and you don't want to be a burden to me?"

The beautiful young woman Gao Hui laughed, "Yes, I know my own abilities. I don't want to turn your company into a mess because of me."

Shen Qiang was silent.

Actually, Gao Hui hadn't said anything wrong.

If she joined Shen's company, the tasks she could handle would be extremely limited.

She wasn't cut out for secretarial work, and finance required expertise.

If it came to negotiating business, that demanded specialized skills.

She knew nothing about research and development.

She was unfamiliar with antiques.

What could she do if she joined the company? Cleaning? Or managing the cafeteria?

Shen Qiang didn't care how much money he gave her each month, as long as she could live with dignity.

But Shen Qiang knew.

If Gao Hui were the sort of woman who craved an easy and luxurious life, she could have easily lived off men, given her outstanding beauty.

There was no need for her to exhaust herself daily running a bun shop.

Perhaps, for her, the bun shop was her ambition, her struggle, her enterprise.

"I suddenly really want to taste the buns you make," Shen Qiang suddenly said.

Gao Hui smiled, "Sure, I'll go get them for you. But our shop only has six types of fillings, they're all posted on the wall."

Without even looking, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "One of each then."

"No problem, please wait a minute," The beautiful young woman Gao Hui replied cheerfully and turned around. Moments later, she brought out the buns.

Shen Qiang smiled as he tasted the bun,

As soon as he took a bite, Shen Qiang frowned.

In fact, in Huaxia Land, buns bloom in every corner.

Each region has its own eating and preparation methods. In Shanghai, the common Xiaolongbao, in GD, the Char Siu Bao, in SD, the Shui Jian Bao, in HN, the Guan Tang Bao, in XJ, the baked buns, and in TJ, Goubuli Baozi, each with their own features.

But no matter the type,

Shen Qiang had to admit that the baozi made by Gao Hui really tasted bad from his perspective.

The skin was thick, the dough a bit sticky.

As for the flavor of the filling,

Heh, it was edible.

The only highlight was that it could fill your stomach when you were hungry.

If Shen Qiang didn't know Gao Hui, after trying such baozi once, he definitely wouldn't come back for more.

But for others, it was hard to say since Gao Hui was quite diligent with her fillings.

Vegetarian fillings cost fifty cents each, and meat fillings one yuan.

Nothing much to say about the vegetarian ones.

The meat used in the meat-filled buns was good quality, no blood-soaked or rotten meat was used to fool people.

So in terms of looking for a bargain, it wasn't unacceptable.

If it were before Shen Qiang had his mythical encounter, he would probably come here regularly because the prices were affordable.

5 yuan would definitely fill you up.

As for taste...

Heh, it was simply out of the question.

"How is it?" Seeing Shen Qiang take a bite of each baozi, the young woman Gao Hui asked.

Shen Qiang originally wanted to say it was not bad but hesitated before honestly saying, "If the perfect score for baozi is ten, I can at most give you three, and those three are because you have been quite reliable with the ingredients."

On hearing this, Gao Hui looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "I spent three thousand yuan to learn this baozi recipe."

Shen Qiang looked at her seriously and said, "Even though you might find me immodest, I think I must tell you that the baozi I make are at least ten times better than yours."

Gao Hui was surprised, "You can make baozi?"

"It's a family secret," Shen Qiang lied with a smile because he knew that without such a claim, Gao Hui would hardly believe him.

Sure enough, as soon as Gao Hui heard it was a family secret, her eyes lit up, "Then it must be amazing!"

Shen Qiang smiled and then said, "I can teach you how to make delicious baozi."

Gao Hui hesitated and then said, "Real gourmet recipes are very expensive, Shen Qiang, I know you want to help me, but this would make me feel like I owe you too much."

On hearing this, Shen Qiang was taken aback and then laughed, "It's just baozi after all, and right now my family doesn't depend on it for a living."

Gao Hui sighed and said, "I still can't accept it. Since it's a family secret of yours, I think your family would prefer to pass the recipe on to your children."

Looking at the stubborn and somewhat defiant Gao Hui, Shen Qiang suddenly laughed and said, "What if I want to partner with you in opening a baozi shop? I'll provide the recipe, you handle the business, and we'll split the profits. What do you think about that?"

The beautiful young woman Gao Hui was startled and then her eyes shone as she said, "Are you serious?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Of course, I'm serious. Not only that, but I'm also willing to invest some money to expand the storefront. However, I won't manage anything, I'll just split the profits."

Looking at Shen Qiang, Gao Hui was silent for a long time before a smile appeared on her lovely face. She spoke softly, "That sounds good. But if you want to go into business together, first you'll have to prove that your baozi are indeed ten times better than mine, otherwise, I might refuse."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "No problem."
