Almighty Daughter Runs The World

Chapter 13: Slander

Qian Lingyu basically took Ye Zhuo for a tour around the shop. The entire shop was not very huge; it was only a total of nine square meters, inclusive of the back kitchen. There were over 20 tables set up in the shop.

Qian Lingyu explained, "Our operation here is not considered especially busy now, but there will be a constant flow of customers when our shop opens. Little Ye, you're going to be doing some complicated work here, so don't you be complaining that you're tired."

"Mmhmm." Ye Zhuo nodded.

Next, Qian Lingyu took Ye Zhuo to meet a middle-aged woman. "Sister Liu, this is Ye Shu's daughter, Little Ye. She will be taking Ye Shu's place to work here for a month from today onward. Please brief her on the important matters."

Sister Liu had her hair dyed blonde and had a dazzling gold ring on her ring finger along with a thick gold bracelet on her wrist. She said in astonishment upon seeing Ye Zhuo, "Yikes! I didn't expect Ye Shu to have such a beautiful daughter!"

Even though Ye Shu worked in the barbecue shop for more than two years, she was quiet and seldom chatted to others on usual days. Hence, no one in the shop knew about her personal matters.

Upon saying that, Qian Lingyu turned her head to look toward Ye Zhuo. "Little Ye, you can ask Auntie Liu if you have any further questions about the job from now on."

"Alright." Ye Zhuo nodded.

Qian Lingyu spoke a little more, and then she turned around and walked into the shop. She made her way to the bar and had some water while she said to her son, "Oh, Boyang! You have to study well and continue to work hard on your studies so that you can strive to get into a first-tier university next year! Strive hard to bring credit to your mom! Don't be like the young girl earlier; she's out working at such a young age What a good-for-nothing!"

Qian Lingyu's son was named Li Boyang. He was the only son in the family, so he was rather spoiled.

He was 18 years old this year and would be entering junior year after the summer break. Junior year was the turning point of one's life, and it was also the most important year in one's school life.

"Alright, mom." Li Boyang nodded. "I will." He performed really well academically, so it would not be an issue for him to get into a first-tier university. He would only need to study a little harder, and he would get into an ivy league university without any difficulty.

"My son is really awesome!" Qian Lingyu was delighted. "Take a rest if you're tired of doing your homework. There's watermelon in the fridge; let me bring you some."

"Sure."

Qian Lingyu loved her son very much. When she cut the watermelon for him, she would even meticulously remove the watermelon's seeds.

The sky grew darker and darker on the outside, and customers began arriving at the barbecue shop in succession.

Ye Zhuo was not melodramatic. She cleaned the tables and swept the floor when she had to. She was dextrous and agile when she worked to the point where no one could pick out a single flaw.

Sister Liu nudged Qian Lingyu's arm with her elbow. "Look at Little Ye; she's rather capable, isn't she! I really couldn't tell at first!"

Ye Zhuo was so pretty that Sister Liu was still under the assumption that she could not do much. She did not expect that the young maiden would be so good at her job and that there was no fault to pick with her.

Qian Lingyu replied without paying much attention, "The children from poor families grow up faster! When I was her age, I was doing everything that I could get my hands on. We even had to herd cows at the time!"
