Su Wensong found a small eatery nearby that looked quite clean; the four of them ordered four bowls of noodles and three cold dishes.
Jia Liang held a bowl of noodles, looking once again at Lin Chuxia opposite him, only to see her alternating between noodles and cold dishes, eating with relish.
Jia Liang also picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the noodles, but he ate without any taste.
After finally finishing a bowl of noodles, Lin Chuxia also put down her chopsticks.
However, Lin Chuxia didn’t rush to leave. She drank some water while waiting for Feng Zhong beside Jia Liang to finish his noodles, worrying he wasn’t full, she ordered him another bowl.
She even turned to ask Jia Liang if he wanted another bowl.
From last night when they were taken away by the police comrades to now, Jia Liang hadn’t eaten anything, but he couldn’t bring himself to eat.
Feng Zhong, having been up all night, was really hungry. Seeing a new bowl of noodles being brought to him by the server, he smiled in thanks to Lin Chuxia and began to gorge himself.
Seeing that everyone had finished eating, he even scraped the remaining cold dishes into his noodle bowl to finish them off.
After slurping down the last of the soup, he looked up to see everyone watching him, and somewhat embarrassed, he chuckled and wiped his mouth, "I’m full now."
"That’s good you’re full," Lin Chuxia stood up, "Let’s go, since we’re here, we might as well check out the shop."
She was as usual, efficient and competent in her doings, as if coming to the city was just to inspect the shop, not even hinting at the matter with Tian Jinzhu.
This made Jia Liang both relieved and somewhat at a loss, but he still rallied his spirits and took Lin Chuxia to their bun shop.
Lin Chuxia knew the location of the storefront; it had already been renovated, only lacking the procurement of tables, chairs, benches, and kitchen equipment.
The bun shop in the city had the same decorative style as the one in Ancheng County.
Before the renovation, Lin Chuxia had provided Jia Liang with the blueprints, and under his supervision and guidance, overall, Lin Chuxia was very satisfied.
"When do you estimate the shop will be ready to go into business?"
Lin Chuxia once again passed the initiative to Jia Liang.
Jia Liang was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered, setting aside previous thoughts and answering earnestly.
"The tables, chairs, and benches had already been ordered last week, they will be delivered next Wednesday, and the rest of the items can be prepared during this time."
Lin Chuxia nodded, "You can start preparing the staff as well, it’s more convenient to recruit people in the city. Recruitment standards and wages should follow our previous criteria; you’re still familiar with that, right?"
"I know all about it, Mr. Lin."
"I’ll make it clear to the pastry staff that they need to train for two weeks in Ancheng County."
"Yes."
After everything was arranged, Lin Chuxia once again looked inside and outside the shop. Finding no issues and seeing that it was getting late, she left with Su Wensong.
Watching as 121 drove away, Feng Zhong exclaimed, "Mr. Lin really is a good person, no wonder Brother Liang you’re also willing to work with a woman."
This was his second time seeing Lin Chuxia; the first time was also just an introduction by Jia Liang.
In Feng Zhong’s memory, he only remembered Lin Chuxia was beautiful.
This incident gave him a deeper understanding of Lin Chuxia.
This person, being a big boss, hadn’t looked down on them in the slightest. As Brother Liang said, with their kind of background, only by following someone like Mr. Lin could they make something of themselves.
Otherwise, given the petty crimes they had committed, there were not many who would employ them, and even if they did, they wouldn’t trust them.
