The ex-wife of a former CEO regrets resigning to raise her child and retire from public life.

Chapter 68 I believe in this young man

Lin Muyuan stopped and grabbed Su Chen's arm.

The force was immense, as if it were trying to pull Su Chen back from his dream.

"Su Er, did you get poisoned from eating shredded pork with garlic sauce?"

There are no mushrooms inside.

Were you blinded by what Brother Chen said?

Lin Muyuan stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

Do you know what you're saying?

You are the second young master of the Su family, and your brother is Su Ang!

You usually wear custom-made clothes and drive sports cars, and now you're telling me you want to work as a waiter here?

Serving dishes, wiping tables, and having to read people's faces?

Su Chen looked at Lin Muyuan with a calm expression.

He gently freed himself from Lin Muyuan's hand and habitually straightened the wrinkled corner of his suit jacket.

"I know," Su Chen said softly.

"Mu Yuan, I know you're doing this for my own good."

So what if I'm laughed at?

At home and at those parties, everyone treats me like a joke.

"It's all a joke anyway, so what's wrong with me being a waiter?"

"If your parents found out, they'd hang you from a tree and beat you senseless!" Lin Muyuan stamped his feet in frustration.

"You're bringing shame to the Su family!"

If your brother finds out, he might just bring a bunch of people and shut this shop down, you believe me?

"He wouldn't, he's not that kind of person." Su Chen laughed self-deprecatingly.

"In his eyes, it's not surprising that I do anything absurd."

He'll just think I'm being silly again.

Since we're both just fooling around, can't I choose a way that makes me feel better?

Lin Muyuan looked at Su Chen and found that a flame had suddenly ignited in those eyes that were usually evasive and gloomy.

He knew Su Chen's temper. This kid usually seemed gentle and mild-mannered, but once he got stuck on something, not even nine oxen could pull him back.

"Fine...fine! You've got guts!" Lin Muyuan laughed in anger, then flung his hand away.

"I'll go crazy with you this once. If you really get kicked out, don't say I didn't warn you."

The two turned around and walked back towards the everyday life of ordinary people.

The sound of the door opening startled the people inside.

Chen Feng was sitting by the window, holding a glass of warm water, his eyes glazed over, enjoying the rare tranquility.

Zhang Qiang was slumped in a chair next to him, fanning himself with a towel.

Mengmeng and Xingruo were huddled together at a table, whispering to each other.

Upon seeing the two return, Chen Feng put down his water glass and stood up with some confusion.

"What's wrong? Did you leave something behind?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

Lin Muyuan didn't say anything, but awkwardly took half a step back, letting Su Chenliang step forward.

Su Chen stepped forward, took a deep breath, and bowed slightly to Chen Feng.

"Brother Chen, I wanted to ask... are you still hiring waiters/waitresses?"

As soon as he said that, the room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Mengmeng raised her head, still holding half a paintbrush in her mouth, her big eyes blinking as she stared at Su Chen.

Xingruo also stopped what she was doing and looked at the noble young man who seemed out of place here with some surprise.

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment as he looked at the young man who had just secretly shed tears.

He could see the sincerity in Su Chen's eyes.

"That's true." Chen Feng nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"What, are you interested?"

"I want to try." Su Chen straightened his back.

"For no other reason than wanting to stay here and work."

Brother Chen, can you take me in?

Before Chen Feng could even speak, Zhang Qiang jumped up with a "whoosh".

"Wait! Hold on!"

Zhang Qiang, carrying a towel, circled Su Chen twice, looking at him as if he were an alien.

"Young man, are you kidding me?"

Your hands are so white and tender, you can tell you've never done any heavy work.

And your entire outfit must cost more than half a year's income for me, right?

Zhang Qiang pointed to his sweat-soaked vest.

"You haven't seen it these past two days, Fengzi, Mengmeng, Xingruo, and I have been working ourselves to the bone."

Serving dishes, clearing bowls, wiping the floor, and being rushed around.

This is not some kind of "experience life" game.

"With your fancy skills, you'll only last half an hour at most. Then you'll be crying and begging to go home to your mother. Wouldn't that just be causing us trouble?"

Zhang Qiang's words were not polite.

In his eyes, these rich kids were just here on a whim, trying to experience life, and had no idea how hard work was.

Su Chen blushed slightly after Zhang Qiang's words, but he did not back down. Instead, he looked at Chen Feng with a stubborn expectation in his eyes.

Chen Feng ignored Zhang Qiang's complaints.

He stared at Su Chen for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"Qiangzi, don't say that." Chen Feng looked at Zhang Qiang, his tone calm.

"A person who can spend a month painstakingly polishing a single leaf must have more patience than you imagine."

I believe in this young man.

Turning his head, Chen Feng extended his hand to Su Chen.

"Since you want to come, then stay."

But let me make this clear from the start: I don't care if you're a rich kid or not, I only have men who do the work.

If you can't stand it, you can leave anytime.

Su Chen looked at Chen Feng's calloused hands.

He felt a respect he had never experienced before—not because he was the second young master of the Su family, but because Chen Feng believed in his character as a "person".

He quickly reached out and tightly grasped one of Chen Feng's hands with both of his.

"Thank you, Brother Chen. I will definitely not let you down." Su Chen's voice was a little choked up.

Lin Muyuan stood behind, watching this scene, and let out a long sigh.

He knew that the matter was already settled.

"Alright, since Boss Feng has agreed, I have nothing more to say."

Zhang Qiang pursed his lips, suppressing his doubt, but still muttered somewhat resentfully,

"However, Young Master Su, there's no easy work here."

If you really want to stay, you'd better prove you're not the kind of person who's all talk and no action.

Su Chen released his grip and looked around.

"I can do it right now." He said, as he began to unbutton his expensive suit. "Brother Chen, what kind of work is available now? I'll start right away."

Zhang Qiang raised an eyebrow in surprise, his opinion of Su Chen improving somewhat.

At least this kid isn't a whine, unlike those spoiled young masters who make all sorts of demands.

Chen Feng looked at Su Chen, who seemed afraid he would change his mind, and thought of the mess in the kitchen that he hadn't had time to clean up yet.

He pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

"Perfect timing, Xingruo hasn't even started construction yet," Chen Feng added.

"If you don't mind, could you wash the dishes in the sink for me first?"

"do the washing up?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"No problem! I'll go right now!"
