Ji Liangchuan looked at Shen Qiang in astonishment.

At that moment, Bianyi arrived, driving the sports car Shen Qiang had previously owned, cheerfully got out, and upon seeing Shen Qiang, Ji Liangchuan, Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, and Xiu Ju, he immediately sauntered over with a grin.

"Everyone's here."

Xu Nan smiled, Bai Jiao didn't even look at him, Ji Liangchuan didn't even lift his eyelids, leaving Bianyi, who had just suffered a setback, feeling a bit awkward.

But with Shen Qiang there, he couldn't say anything.

He just shut up and stood aside.

Right then, the beautiful young woman Gao Hui came out of the shop and joyfully called to Shen Qiang, "Shen Qiang, come in, we're about to start the fireworks!"

Upon hearing this, Bianyi laughed, "Boss, she's calling you to set off the fireworks."

Catching the implication in his words, Xiu Ju gave him a disdainful look, "Why are you so wicked?"

Having said that, Xiu Ju ignored him as well.

Shen Qiang nodded at the beautiful young woman Gao Hui.

Then, turning around, he saw Ji Liangchuan gazing at Gao Hui in awe.

Shen Qiang coughed and said, "Let's go, the shop is about to open for business. Since everyone is here, don't waste the trip, come and try the buns."

Xu Nan and Bai Jiao smiled, Ji Liangchuan hesitated for a moment, then followed behind Shen Qiang.

The group entered the shop.

The beautiful young woman Gao Hui looked at Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, and Xiu Ju in surprise and hesitantly asked, "Shen Qiang, who are these people?"

Shen Qiang smiled and briefly introduced them, "This is Xu Nan, manager from Wanxin Hesheng, this is Bai Jiao, manager from Cheng Xinyi, and this is Xiu Ju, my classmate." Glancing at Ji Liangchuan who was staring intently at Gao Hui, Shen Qiang cleared his throat forcefully and said, "This tall guy is Ji Liangchuan, also my classmate."

Gao Hui greeted each in turn.

When it came to Ji Liangchuan, he extended his hand with a smile and said, "Hello."

Just then,

Shen Qiang stepped forward, blocking him off, and interrupted, "Is everything ready for the opening of the shop?"

Just as Gao Hui was about to shake hands with Ji Liangchuan, she immediately said with excitement, "Everything is ready, I bought eight 21-shot fireworks, the big kinds with 80,000 bangs."

Shen Qiang found it somewhat funny. In fact, Provincial City had already banned the use of firecrackers and fireworks, so typically launches used electric firecrackers and ceremonial cannons, but since Gao Hui had arranged it that way, it was fine, as it really wasn't a big deal.

Gao Hui glanced at the time and said flirtatiously with a smile, "We're opening at nine fifty-eight, we still have a few minutes, I'll introduce someone to you, just wait."

Then, very happily, Gao Hui turned and walked back inside the shop, calling, "Xiangwei, Xiangwei!"

She then joyfully brought Jing Haotian's sister, Jing Xiangwei, to the front of Shen Qiang and the others, laughing as she introduced, "Xiangwei, this is our boss, Shen Qiang."

Shen Qiang smiled and nodded.

Jing Xiangwei looked extremely awkward, moved her mouth, hesitated for a full three seconds, and said softly, "Hello, boss."

The excited Gao Hui said, "Shen Qiang, this is Jing Xiangwei, my newly recognized sister from yesterday. She's here to help me as a cashier in the shop. Get to know each other."

Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Hmm, very good, I'll be very relieved to have her help you."

Hearing this, Gao Hui thought Shen Qiang was just being polite.

But Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, Bianyi, and Ji Liangchuan, standing aside, all knew very clearly that Jing Xiangwei was the daughter of the Jing Family Head, her own cultivation was very high, she also raised a thousand-year-old flower demon, and being so young, her potential was immense. Otherwise, Ji Family, a top-tier family in the cultivation world, wouldn't consider her for a marriage alliance.

However, after greeting Shen Qiang, Jing Xiangwei awkwardly avoided looking at Bai Jiao, Xu Nan, and Ji Liangchuan, and instead said, "Sister Hui, I'm going to check on the kids."

Gao Hui was somewhat surprised but immediately nodded.

Jing Xiangwei quickly left.

Xu Nan was shocked, "Does she have a child?"

The beautiful young woman, Gao Hui, smiled and her eyes bent, "Today is the opening, there shouldn't be any issues, so I brought my son over. She's helping me take care of him. When things get busier later, I might not have time to see him."

Xu Nan gave an "oh" and looked at Shen Qiang with a slightly strange expression, full of "Your son? Your son?" questions.

Shen Qiang felt awkward.

Fortunately, it was now 9:58.

The bun shop was opening.

After setting off firecrackers.

The first batch of buns was already out.

Gao Hui asked Shen Qiang to take his friends to the elegant room on the third floor to eat the first batch of buns.

Meanwhile, the many customers who had been playing with their phones inside or outside the store also became lively.

Surprisingly, a pair of city management officers simply ignored the firecrackers at the bun shop and, with eyes full of excitement, sat in the ground floor hall shouting for ten buns now and another two hundred at noon, clearly buying for their colleagues.

Seeing the lively scene, Shen Qiang felt quite satisfied.

By this time, Gao Hui, who was already busy, came over with her child and said to Shen Qiang, "Shen Qiang, we're a bit busy, can you take care of him for a bit? I'll come over once I'm free."

Everyone laughed.

Shen Qiang looked at the little boy who seemed completely unfamiliar and a bit afraid of him, so he reached out to take him from the beautiful Gao Hui and held him in his arms.

He was very small.

He did not cry or make a fuss in Shen Qiang's arms, but instead touched his head with one hand and looked at Gao Hui.

The beautiful young woman smiled and instructed him, "Be good, little treasure. Go eat buns with uncle. Mommy will be here soon. And, oh, you know uncle, don't you? You've forgotten, that time you said you wanted to take uncle home to eat meat."

The child did not speak, but began to look at Shen Qiang.

Then, someone called Gao Hui.

Gao Hui left.

Jing Xiangwei also began to get busy at the cashier counter.

Shen Qiang took everyone up to the third floor.

Bai Jiao excitedly tried to play with the child and opened her arms to hold him, but the little guy clearly did not like this beautiful aunt.

Xiu Ju and Xu Nan also tried.

Every time they tried to hold him, he would instead cling to Shen Qiang, wrapping his arms around Shen Qiang's neck.

He simply wouldn't let them hold him.

Once they reached the elegant room upstairs.

A waiter came to pour tea and then told Shen Qiang and the group to wait a moment.

After the waiter left.

Bianyi, this jerk, somehow pulled out a pack of colorful candies and said to the little guy in Shen Qiang's arms with a grin, "Come on, call him daddy and you'll get a candy."

But unexpectedly, the little guy in Shen Qiang's arms immediately turned his head away upon hearing this.

Shen Qiang gave him a very cold glance.

However, Bianyi did not take it to heart; instead, he cheekily said, "Or you can call the person you're holding daddy, and uncle will give you the candies."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, Ji Liangchuan, and Xiu Ju all laughed.
