Chapter 186 Pretend to be real

Ji Ning: “???”

Is this how he understood her words?

Ji Ning was speechless as he held her hand and led her into the building. There was a long corridor with many wooden doors. She pushed open one at random and saw that the inside was clean and bright, but still empty.

The air was filled with a scent, with some fine dust, which was not very pleasant to smell, but to Ji Ning, it was a very pleasant smell...

Because she became a landlord in one go.

Oh, this life of decadence and dissipation.

Before, she only wanted to buy a few houses in good locations, but this time, he directly upgraded them for her.

Moreover, this area will be demolished to make a fortune in the future. Ji Ning hadn't thought of this. She pondered for a moment, blinked and looked at Zhou Jingmo, looking particularly well-behaved, "You still have a good eye."

Zhou Jingmo pinched her face, smiling at her words, his eyes fixed on her face, lingering on it, "Yes, I have good taste."

During the day, she was a rent collector. At night, Ji Ning went to her newly opened store to cut the ribbon. This was her third store, but she had not yet started with the chain hotpot restaurant from her previous life.

This is a barbecue restaurant.

The entrance of the newly opened barbecue restaurant was filled with flower baskets sent by others, with golden ribbons fluttering in the wind.

With so many flower baskets and such a grand display, it is clear that the owner is very popular.

Ji Ning was stunned when she saw this grand scene. She stretched out her fingers to count them. She could count her interpersonal relationships, but how could there be hundreds of flower baskets?

"Boss Ji, business is booming."

"Boss Ji, congratulations on your prosperity."

Many of the people who came were unfamiliar faces. Ji Ning's eyes moved around and he could only think of Zhou Jingmo. He must be his business partner or friend.

Zhou Jingmo curled his lips and agreed.

Ji Ning felt mixed emotions. Her friends all called her "Ms. Ji" instead of "Mrs. Zhou". Zhou Jingmo really gave her enough respect.

Love her, don't interfere with her, but support her silently, build bridges and roads for her, and do everything silently.

It reminded her of Shu Ting's poem, "I must be a kapok tree beside you, standing with you as a tree. The roots are tightly grasped in the ground; the leaves touch each other in the clouds."

They are husband and wife, the same kind, and the people who understand each other best.

Before Ji Ning could feel touched, the lights in the restaurant, which was packed with guests, suddenly went out.

"Hey, is the power out?"

"How come there was such a big mess on the first day of business?"

Suddenly, with a "click", the lights came on, and a person appeared out of nowhere on the stage in front of me.

A girl wearing a colorful floral cheongsam and a white veil covering her face is swaying with a flat microphone in front of her.

It makes people feel like they have arrived in the colorful and beautiful Shanghai.

"Wow, that's Yuecheng's biggest singer, Tong Yu?"

"It's her, it's her. She looks better in person than on the black and white TV."

Tong Yu twisted her slender waist like a snake, her face full of lively and rich smile, and the song she sang was as melodious as an oriole. It was an adapted version of the lyrics, "Yeyue City~Yeyue City~You are a city that never sleeps, with bright lights on, music playing, singing and dancing~"

This is a kind of internet celebrity effect, and everyone is rushing in.

Both the old and the young came to see her beauty.

Although it was only temporary, the fame has been spread.

Tong Yu couldn't stand everyone's enthusiasm. She was supposed to sing five songs, but everyone kept asking for "encore", so she sang ten songs in total before she stepped back and took off her earrings.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Yu." Ji Ning patted her shoulder.

"You're welcome, sister." Tong Yu spoke in Northeastern dialect. She originally disdained to do these things, not even for the sake of her friends.

Tong Yu is a friend of Zhou Jingmo's friend and also a relative of Pei Qingrong, but after chatting with Ji Ning for an entire afternoon, she deeply felt how difficult it was for this girl.

She is also a girl. Although the country is not as patriarchal as before, girls still have a harder time in all aspects.

Therefore, if she can support it, she is willing to support it more.

In the end, even though Tong Yu refused again and again, Ji Ning still gave her a big, thick red envelope.

Ji Ning was like a spinning top, busy coming to the front desk to entertain guests. Zhou Jingmo was talking to Pei Qingrong and Han Baoyi. When he saw her, he reached out his hand nonchalantly, wiped the sweat on the tip of her nose with his fingertips, and frowned, "Why are you sweating so much?"

Pei Qingrong was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. Is this still his friend with mysophobia?

Han Baoyi and Ji Ning clinked their glasses. "That's great. Sister-in-law, your store is blooming everywhere, and it's opening more and more."

Ji Ning smiled and blinked, "Engineer Han, too. I heard from Pei Qingrong that you have been promoted again and are now a senior engineer."

Han Baoyi smiled and glanced at Pei Qingrong.

Pei Qingrong patted his chest and praised himself, "That's because I have a good wife like you!"

Ji Ning squatted down, her brows gentle, looking at Shitou who had been talking all the time, with a little starlight in her eyes, "Shitou, is the barbecue delicious?"

Xiao Shitou took a skewer of meat and put it straight into his mouth. With a sip, the meat was already in his mouth. It was like a new skill he had acquired.

He looked like a short winter melon, looking up with his eyes sparkling and focused, "Auntie, great, the barbecue is really great."

Wang Shuqin and Lin Xiaokang also came. Even though Ji Ning clearly told her that new employees had been arranged, Wang Shuqin couldn't sit still. When she saw that the employees were too busy, she helped to greet them and sent the dishes to the back kitchen. She was quick and efficient, and was a shrewd and capable manager.

Lin Xiaokang still sticks to her. When she works, he helps her and is very observant.

Wang Shuqin said unhappily, "Now that Ji Wei is not here, there is no need for us to pretend to be in a relationship, right?"

She just wanted to help him out of his urgent need, but who could have thought that she would meet such a sticky person.

She has to be responsible for what she said. Tell me, isn't this the story of the farmer and the snake?

Lin Xiaokang pouted, "I'm just trying to help you, aren't I? You don't want to be in a relationship either, so if you use me as a shield, you can save yourself a lot of trouble."

Wang Shuqin was silent. Indeed, she just wanted to never get married in this life, travel around the world and be free.

She worked in a store, and some customers wanted to pursue her when they heard that she was single. Some thought that she came from a poor family and would be easy to manipulate, while others thought that if she became a manager, she would definitely have a high salary and would be enough to support a family.

She didn't have time to deal with such people. After Lin Xiaokang pestered her, she did have a lot less trouble.

But the thing is, there’s no need to stick together today!

"Ji...Ji Wei!" Lin Xiaokang pointed at the door and hid behind Wang Shuqin, as if he had seen a ghost.

Wang Shuqin frowned, thinking that he must be pretending and deceiving her again. This boy looks young and innocent, but he is actually quite cunning.

She glanced casually and saw a familiar figure actually walking towards Ji Ning.

She frowned and hurried over there.

A new store has opened, are you here to cause trouble?
