"Don't worry. As long as I have a pair of hardworking hands, you will live a happy life sooner or later."

  Miao Miao didn't say anything.

  I don't know what she's thinking about.

  After a while, she spoke up, "Actually, you can sell that secret formula."

  I was taken aback.

  These words coming from my wife's mouth were too sudden!

  "What do you mean? I don't understand."

  I'm pretending to be ignorant.

  "It's the secret recipe for making chicken soup, isn't it? We're in need of money right now. If you sell the recipe, you can use it as capital and have a chance to make a comeback."

  "How much do you think this prescription is worth?"

  "To put it bluntly, it's worth at least 1 million." Zou Miao Miao suddenly became interested and leaned in close to me, "I can contact the buyer."

  I pay attention to her facial expressions and tone when she speaks.

  At first she seemed unintentional, but after seeing me seemingly having this intention, she suddenly became interested.

  "This might be somewhat bad,"

  I pretended to hesitate, "But Boss Feng has told me that under no circumstances can the secret formula be leaked out. I have to listen to him."

  "You're stupid."

  Zou Miao's tone was unyielding, "It was you who saved his life back then, that's why he gave the secret formula to you. The formula is yours now, it's up to you to decide what to do with it."

  "Let me think about it."

  I say so with my mouth, but in my heart I am coldly laughing.

  I thought of a possibility.

  Someone must have looked for my wife and wanted to pry out the secret formula through her.

  In other words, my wife has been bought off by someone.

  "After you sell the secret recipe, our family will have money. I won't have to go to the casino anymore."

  After she finished saying this sentence, she looked at me with a face full of expectation.

  "Give me some time, I'll let you know after I've made up my mind."

  "Alright then, we're looking forward to your good news."

  Zou Miao Miao walked away with an excited face.

  I fell into confusion again.

  I remember very clearly that when I had just married Zou Miao Miao, she once said to me very seriously that the secret recipe of Feng's chicken soup is our lifeline and can never be transferred or leaked out under any circumstances.

  They've been married for less than a month and she's changed her mind already?

  I was riding my bike to work at DiHao Building, still thinking about this matter.

  Who bought my wife?

  It suddenly occurred to me to think of someone.

  Liu Xiaoting!

  It should be her, no one else.

  She was hiding in my chicken soup shop as a waitress, wasn't it just for getting the secret recipe?

  I came to the catering department office and went around the processing room as usual.

  The chefs inside were not very busy, chatting in twos and threes, but when they saw me come in, one by one they stopped talking and looked at me warily.

  This makes me even more suspicious, and I wonder if Liu Xiaoting's intention in letting me take charge of the catering department is not pure.

  Normally, as the deputy general manager of Emperor Hotel, Liu Xiaoting should have explained my situation to the chefs before finding me.

  Let these people support my work.

  Or she should think of ways to establish my prestige after I arrive.

  But it's not like that now.

  I went straight to Liu Xiaoting's office on the third floor. As soon as I walked to the door, I heard her answering a phone call inside.

  "I didn't expect this situation to occur, it's unexpected."

  "Don't bother him with this, I'm the one who caused it, if you want to find someone, just find me."

  "This is also because of what you did wrong before, otherwise, Crab Old Seven wouldn't have treated you like this..."

  She suddenly saw me appear at the door and said, "Let's leave it like this for now, I have someone here." Then she hung up the phone.

  Then he invited me in, "Chen Yang, nothing happened to you last night, did it?"

  I remembered when I was going to the Hive Casino yesterday, she told me that it's not a place for you to go, if anything happens, you're responsible for yourself. I calmly said: "It's fine."

  "You've stirred up trouble, you know?" said Liu Xiaoting.

  "I saved someone I shouldn't have, didn't I?"

  "You can't say that." Liu Xiaoting's gaze suddenly had some unusualness, "You're not bad, you're a man."

  I didn't quite catch that, "what does it mean?"

  "If it were someone else, they would have been scared shitless in that situation. You didn't abandon him, you're a real man."

  "So you already knew."

  I suddenly realized.

  I have offended Duan Fangtian, this matter may cause trouble.

  "Speak up, what did you come to me for as soon as you got to work?" The other person changed the subject.

  I suddenly don't know what to say anymore.

  I was questioning him originally.

  I suspect she bought off Zou Miao Miao and made her her spokesperson.

  But now the atmosphere suddenly makes me feel like I shouldn't ask.

  At least, it shouldn't be asked now.

  "Return the metal card to me." Liu Xiaoting's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

  I pulled out the card and handed it to her.

  "How about it, now you have some understanding of your wife?"

  As I saw him smiling at me, I suddenly thought of a very simple fact.

  Before I knew Zou Miao Miao, she should have known Zou Miao Miao already.

  Then I thought of something else immediately after.

  The day I held a wedding with Zou Miao Miao, all the staff of the chicken soup shop went except her.

  Afterwards, Liu Xiaoting told me she had something on that day.

  What's the hurry?

  At that time I didn't think too much.

  At this moment, I suddenly thought of a possibility, she deliberately didn't attend my wedding.

  From this, it can be inferred that Liu Xiaoting should be quite familiar with Zou Miaomiao. Perhaps there is a contradiction between the two of them.

  As I was thinking, Liu Xiaoting's phone rang.

  She took a glance at the number and didn't answer it.

  But the phone kept ringing.

  I said: "Is it inconvenient for you if I'm here? Otherwise, I'll leave."

  "Alright..."

  After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

  I walked out of her office and closed the door behind me, but didn't leave.

  But quietly hiding on one side.

  This phone call must have something to do with me, otherwise she wouldn't let me dodge it.

  "I didn't say that he doesn't know Crab Old Seven at all, and he has nothing to do with Crab Old Seven. He just doesn't want to see someone die without helping."

  "I know you lost 2 million, but you can't put this on his account. He's not a streetwise person."

  "Duan Ge, I'm begging you, can't you just let him off? If you're capable, go settle the score with Crab Old Seven instead..."

  I understand now.

  Yesterday night I saved Crab Old Seven, and got into trouble.

  "...But he's not a gambler, isn't this a bit too much?"

  "I'm saying it again, this whole thing started because of me, so just look for me."

  “……”

  Through the crack in the door, I can see very clearly.

  Liu Xiaoting's face had already turned red.

  I rushed in all of a sudden, then snatched the phone from her hand, "My name is Chen Yang, I'm the one who rescued Crab Old Seven last night. This matter has nothing to do with Liu Xiaoting..."
