CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 89: JIANG RONG

The crowd saw the man being restrained and began to hurl insults, ready to beat him up.

At this moment, the ambulance arrived. The doctors and nurses saw the chaos at the subway entrance and felt a sinking feeling. It seemed something major had happened, so they quickly grabbed their medical kits and rushed over.

"The doctors are here. Make way!"

Someone saw the doctors coming and shouted loudly. Everyone immediately stepped back, and someone guided the doctors to the injured person...

The police quickly calmed the scene, stopping the crowd from continuing the assault.

The criminal was arrested, put into a vehicle, and the police car sped towards the station.

As they left, a police officer spotted Lin Xiaoyan in the crowd and gave her a knowing look before departing.

Lin Xiaoyan watched as the cleaning crew began tidying up the scene, feeling a sense of relief.

Lin Mu, holding back her anger, glared at Lin Fu and marched forward.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her angry mom and her smug dad, sighing inwardly.

The three headed toward the tea shop, and on the way, Lin Xiaoyan saw her dad’s smiling face and said helplessly, "Dad, don’t be impulsive in the future, calm down. What if that guy just now had hurt you?"

"Exactly, what if he wasn’t holding a knife but a gun? You wouldn’t have enough heads to take the blows!" Lin Mu said angrily.

Seeing his wife was angry, Lin Fu quickly put away his smile.

"Well, you know, I just saw that guy acting so arrogantly, injuring the police, so I stepped in. Don’t worry, I was careful!"

"Plus, they didn’t even let me get close, they stopped me right outside..." As he spoke, there was a hint of regret in Lin Fu’s tone.

Lin Mu: "You still wanted to fight him up close? Why bother with the mop, just go at him with your bare hands!

Perfect, then you can go straight to the hospital and let the doctors save you!

You’re this old and still think you’re in your twenties!

Don’t you know you have a family?

What would I do if something happened to you? How would you want me to cope?!

You’re always like this, never considering the consequences!

No matter what, you always let your worthless kindness run wild!

Earlier, when you were working on the construction site, those two didn’t work and went to steal from the site, why did you speak up for them to the manager?

And then what happened!

You got fined fifty thousand!

And those two?

They didn’t even appreciate it!

Seriously, at your age, when will you finally learn to be more careful..."

When it came to her husband’s matters, Lin Mu began bringing up old grievances.

The more she spoke, the more upset she became, and the angrier she got.

Seeing her mom was about to spiral out of control, Lin Xiaoyan quickly pulled her mom’s arm, "Mom, we’ve reached the tea shop. Stop now, the staff is watching."

The face-conscious Lin Mu calmed down immediately when she heard the staff was watching, swallowed back all the things she wanted to say, and looked at the people at the shop’s entrance, greeting them with a smile.

Lin Fu: ...Finally, I can breathe, sigh...

Lin Xiaoyan gave her dad a look, and he immediately took his wife’s hand, heading toward the tea shop.

Lin Xiaoyan sighed, took out the key, and prepared to open the door.

"Good morning."

Liu Xin and Li Wen also greeted them, and upon seeing Lin Fu and Lin Mu, they called out, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."

Lin Fu and Lin Mu responded cheerfully to Liu Xin and Li Wen’s greetings.

Re-entering the tea shop, Lin Fu and Lin Mu felt quite different, knowing now the shop belonged to their daughter. As soon as they entered, they began cleaning.

The two of them meticulously cleaned the outside of the counter.

"Mom and Dad, you can stop now, take a rest."

Lin Xiaoyan placed the freshly made milk tea and fruit tea on the table, letting her mom and dad sit down to rest.

"It’s no big deal. You get busy with your things; we don’t have anything to do anyway."

Lin Xiaoyan thought for a moment, "How about you both help me check out the electric scooter instead?"

Lin Fu: "Sure, is there one nearby?"

Lin Xiaoyan turned to Li Wen, "Xiao Wen, where’s that electric scooter shop you mentioned yesterday? I forgot."

Li Wen gave the location of the electric scooter shop, and Lin Fu and Lin Mu remembered it before heading out.

"Ding dong..."

Just as Lin Fu and Lin Mu left, someone entered the shop.

Lin Xiaoyan looked up to see a woman in her thirties, with a serious expression, who started scanning the surroundings as soon as she entered the shop.

"Hello, what would you like to drink?"

Jiang Rong withdrew her gaze and looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Hello, are you Lin Xiaoyan?"

Lin Xiaoyan’s heart tensed, "Yes, and you are?"

"I’m Jiang Rong, invited by Xuan Shiyi. Starting today, I’m the manager of this shop until you return from Beijing."

Lin Xiaoyan: !!!

Behind her, Liu Xin and Li Wen stopped what they were doing, looking at Jiang Rong in surprise, then back at their boss.

Evidently, the boss seemed more surprised than they were.

"You can leave now, rest assured, I’m probably more familiar with the tea shop business than you are. Xuan Shiyi specifically instructed me to start today.

So you can spend a couple of days with your parents."

Jiang Rong finished speaking, entered the counter without any expression, "You are Liu Xin, and you are Li Wen, hello, I am your manager. In the future, for any store issues, speak directly to me."

Then, without waiting for their reaction, she quickly inspected the environment in the workspace.

"It’s a bit dirty here, clean it later.

And the refrigerator is too messy!

When it’s not busy later, I’ll teach you how to organize it for easier access..."

Lin Xiaoyan stood there, stunned, watching as Jiang Rong seamlessly took on her role, starting to direct the staff’s work.

Liu Xin and Li Wen exchanged glances with their boss. Is she really the manager? Should they listen to her or not?

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t notice their looks but immediately took out her phone and texted Xuan Shiyi to ask about this.

Xuan Shiyi replied quickly, and Lin Xiaoyan, reading Xuan Shiyi’s response, felt pleasantly surprised that she could spend time with her parents in Sea City.

Xuan Shiyi: Rest assured, Jiang Rong has outstanding business capabilities; you can trust her with your shop. She can take it to the next level!

Xuan Shiyi: Also, I’ve already settled her wages, no need to pay her again. You can leave worry-free and enjoy quality time with your parents.

Lin Xiaoyan: Thank you, Mr. Eleven.

Xuan Shiyi: Ok!

Lin Xiaoyan put away her phone, feeling completely at ease with Xuan Shiyi’s assurance.

She turned to Liu Xin and Li Wen, cleared her throat, and said, "This is indeed your manager, during my absence, listen to her..."

She then turned to Jiang Rong, "Thank you very much."

Jiang Rong waved her hand, "Off you go."

Lin Xiaoyan: "...Alright."

Lin Xiaoyan left the tea shop, still feeling a bit dazed.

Just... like that, she’s out!

Guests came and went, entering the shop, and she vaguely heard the sound of delivery orders ringing inside.

She turned around, looking into the shop, only to see Jiang Rong waving her over, signaling her to come back in.

Lin Xiaoyan was pleasantly surprised. Did they need her help?

She quickly went back into the shop.

Jiang Rong: "Leave the keys and tell me the password for these things..."

Lin Xiaoyan: "...Alright."
