I was criticized on a dating reality show, but I retaliated and became an internet sensation.

The voice wasn't loud, but both people present could hear it clearly.

The male customer immediately looked embarrassed, apologized several times, and then hurriedly turned and left.

Seeing the business deal slip away, Shu Zi frowned instantly, looking at Gu Yan with some annoyance, and couldn't help but complain:

"Gu Yan, what are you doing! You've let another deal slip away. Wouldn't it be better if we made more money?"

Looking at her pouting face, Gu Yan's eyes were full of indulgence, and he said indifferently, "This one order won't make a difference."

Shu Zi was exasperated by his indifferent attitude, rolled her eyes, and said defiantly:

"Okay, okay, you're the best, whatever you say is right!"

Wow~ It looks like the vinegar jar has completely overturned! The male customer is so innocent, hahaha!

Am I the only one who noticed Gu Yan's last line, "Only girlfriends get hugs"? I'm so smitten!

[If you don't understand, are these two really together?]

[Shu Zi is still worried about the business; did she not understand Gu Yan's sweet talk? Her insensitivity is off the charts.]

[I knew Gu Yan came to this dating reality show for Shu Zi! Call me a genius!]

While the two were bickering, all the flowers on the stall were sold out, not even a few withered flowers were left, and the flower stall was completely cleaned up.

The stall owner counted the thick wad of change in his hand, his face crinkling with smiles.

"Thanks to both of you! Business has never been this good! This is your commission, and I'll give you an extra 100. Thank you so much!"

Shu Zi took the cash from her hand, beaming from ear to ear, and quickly thanked the boss:

"Thank you, boss! Next time we come to the market, we'll definitely help you out! We'll bring our friends to support you!"

[Shuzi's marketing skills are so good, it's a shame she's not setting up a street stall!]

[Gu Yan was just a tool throughout, hahaha]

By the time the car returned to the villa, it was already lunchtime.

Shu Zi had calculated in the car that today's commission wasn't much, only 850 yuan, but it wasn't enough to leave everyone without dinner tonight.

When the two pushed open the door to the villa, all the guests in the living room turned to look at them.

Jiang Yunyou was the first to rush up, her eyes sparkling: "Yan Shen! Sister Zizi! You're back! Um... how were you feeling this morning?"

Shu Zi didn't answer immediately. Instead, she lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, put on a guilty expression, and even sighed in agreement.

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became more tense.

Jiang Yunyou's expression changed from anticipation to nervousness, and he quickly waved his hand to comfort her:

"It's okay, it's okay! It's okay if we don't make any money! Director Liu said that if all else fails, he'll just give us steamed buns! Steamed buns are pretty good, especially when dipped in white sugar! Other people want to eat them but can't!"

Su Yanhuan quickly nodded in agreement, her tone as gentle as if she were coaxing a child:

"Yes, yes, Sister Zizi, Teacher Gu, don't feel pressured. Earn as much as you can, we can do it all."

Han Jingxue sat on the sofa, slowly took a sip of water, glanced at Shu Zi, and smiled without saying a word. Having known Shu Zi for so long, she could see through her act at a glance.

Shu Zi then let out a long sigh, and immediately took out a wad of cash from her bag, flashing it in front of everyone:

"Eight hundred and fifty yuan!"

She patted her chest confidently, "Don't worry, you'll be guaranteed to have food to eat if you follow Sister Shu!"

Su Yanhuan was the first to react, and she was so happy she almost jumped up:

"Sister Zizi, you and Yan Shen are amazing! You earned so much in just one morning!"

Jiang Yunyou looked at Gu Yan with eyes full of admiration: "As expected of God Yan! He's truly different when he takes action!"

Gu Yan gave a faint "hmm," then turned his gaze to Shu Zi: "It was mainly her who sold them."

Jiang Yunyou immediately turned his gun around:

"Zizi, you're amazing! Did you practice street vending before? Your shouts and sales techniques are just too good to be true!"

Although Jiang Yunyou didn't see it, he could make things up on the spot.

Shu Zi was flattered by the praise and waved her hand, saying, "Keep it down, it's all out of necessity."

Fang Yutong stood to the side, her fingertips gently twisting the hem of her clothes, a gentle smile on her face:

"You guys should get some rest; you must be exhausted after a whole morning."

Han Jingxue glanced at Shu Zi and said, "At least you're somewhat useful; you didn't really trick everyone into eating steamed buns."

Shu Zi immediately puffed out her chest and head, rushing forward to take Han Jingxue's arm: "Of course! Don't you know who's going to handle this!"

Yu Shize remained seated in the corner, barely uttering a word, his demeanor as low-key as if he were invisible.

Shen Yihuai rested his chin on his hand, his gaze sweeping lightly over the group before finally settling on Gu Yan.

Gu Yan's gaze remained fixed on Shu Zi the entire time.

He subtly curved his lips into a smile, saying nothing.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they wouldn't have to go hungry anymore.

[Haha, Han Jie may have complained, but she's actually relieved.]

[Jiang Yunyou: Yan Shen! Gu Yan: It's mainly because she sold them. Jiang Yunyou: Sister Zizi! This fence-sitter is hilarious!]

Just then, a staff member came over with a bookkeeping board:

"Teacher Shu, Teacher Gu, could you please record the amount earned from this punishment task?"

Shu Zi readily took out the money, counted it, and handed it to the staff.

"A total of eight hundred and fifty."

The staff checked and confirmed the information was correct, wrote it down in their notebook, and then announced it to everyone:

"This punishment mission has been successfully completed, and the target amount has been earned."

The kitchen will prepare lunch and dinner according to this budget. Now, you may proceed to the dining room to prepare your meal.

Upon hearing the word "eat," everyone instantly perked up.

Shu Zi rubbed her rumbling stomach, looked at Gu Yan, and spoke in a natural and casual tone:

"Let's go, we've been working all morning, let's go eat first."

Gu Yan gave a soft "hmm" and got up to follow.

The group walked towards the restaurant in twos and threes.

Fang Yutong watched their retreating figures, paused for a moment, then looked away and followed the group towards the restaurant.

The atmosphere at the dinner table relaxed considerably. Su Yanhuan looked at Shu Zi and Han Jingxue with curious eyes and couldn't help but ask:

"Sister Zizi, have you and Sister Han known each other for a long time?"

She had just seen Shu Zi naturally take Han Jingxue's arm, and Han Jingxue showed no resistance whatsoever, her expression was normal, and it didn't seem like they had just met.

Upon hearing this, Shu Zi nodded slightly and said directly, "Yes, I know her. She's my senior sister."

"Huh? Sister Han doesn't seem to be an artist under Tomato Media?" Su Yanhuan asked, full of doubt.

Shu Zi chuckled lightly: "Who says only those from the same company can call each other senior and junior brothers?"

Jiang Yunyou, who was standing nearby, joined in the fun, asking with eyes full of curiosity, "So who is your master? He must be very powerful, right?"

Just as Shu Zi was about to answer, Han Jingxue, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly coughed softly and gave her a subtle look.

Shu Zi hesitated before speaking, and instead laughed it off:

"Well, I won't go into details. That old man thinks I'm embarrassing him and doesn't want me to mention him in public."
