Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Misunderstandings

```

"Li Shuai, bring me three taels of each new flavor. I want to try them all!"

Tong Ming shouted over to the assistant who was placing the order, then wiped his drool.

After returning to the capital, Tong Ming had trouble sleeping, as he realized that his taste buds had been conquered by Chen Yu.

Helpless, he had even gone to Duan Fu Ji's specifically to buy several pounds of braised dishes.

But he found that the braised dishes from Duan Fu Ji, once considered the best in the capital, tasted like wax to him now.

He had even thought about asking someone to buy some from Suzhou City.

But the distance was too far, and the food might spoil by the time it got back.

After much deliberation, Tong Ming decided to open a branch in the capital.

He would work from there from now on.

In essence, it meant he had informally moved the headquarters to Suzhou City. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But now that everyone was working remotely, it didn't matter where the headquarters were located.

Before long, Li Shuai came up to Tong Ming with the braised dishes, and also ordered some fried cakes and vegetable dumplings on the side.

Tong Ming immediately picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of the spicy pig's head.

The taste left an aromatic flavor on the lips, was rich but not greasy, with the spiciness and aroma hitting just the right spot.

"That's the flavor!"

Tong Ming shouted excitedly and called Li Shuai over to join him.

"My man, I'm going to treat this place like a regular canteen from now on. The work meals for my company will be set here."

"Great! Then let me thank you in advance."

No matter how you looked at it, an entire company's work meals were a big deal for Chen Yu.

And today, with an additional two thousand pounds of braised meat, he was indeed a bit worried about not selling out.

At this time, Tong Ya came out of the third floor room with sleepy, relaxed eyes.

Just as she was about to go downstairs, she suddenly shivered and quickly hid at the corner of the staircase.

"Damn, why is he here again!"

"Mommy, why are you hiding here?" Tuan Tuan, also with his backpack, had just stepped out the door.

Tong Ya, a bit flustered, her eyes darting around, quickly covered her stomach.

"My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, I might not be able to go to kindergarten today!"

Tuan Tuan immediately became anxious: "Then I won't go either, I'll stay home to take care of you!"

Tong Ya nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll call in for a leave."

Saying this, Tong Ya put on a pained expression and hurried back into her room.

Tuan Tuan put down his backpack, ready to go downstairs.

"I'm going to tell dad!"

"Don't!" Tong Ya quickly stopped him: "It's a busy time right now, don't distract your dad. Besides, it's just a stomachache, not a serious illness."

Tuan Tuan hesitated for a moment and then nodded obediently before sitting quietly to one side.

At this moment, Tong Ya's brain was rapidly thinking of a strategy.

At seven in the morning, Tong Ming showed no signs of leaving, still savoring Chen Yu's braised dishes.

Just then, Tang Xiaowei bounced into the shop, dressed in a frog costume.

"Yu, I've come out earlier than planned, get me something to eat quick, I'm starving!"

Just as she yelled out, Tang Xiaowei stood frozen on the spot.

Her frog costume hugged her figure, with her head visible outside.

At that moment, her gaze met Tong Ming's.

"Xiaowei? What are you doing here?"

Tang Xiaowei instinctively stood at attention and couldn't help but swallow.

"Tong... Uncle..."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow involuntarily as he carried several flatbreads and a pound of marinated meat out of the kitchen and handed them to Tang Xiaowei.

"What, you know each other?"

Tang Xiaowei panicked at once, "Only met before!"

Then, she quickly grabbed the tray from Chen Yu's hands and hurried upstairs.

This left Chen Yu quite puzzled, and he turned his head to cast an inquiring look at Tong Ming.

"She..."

Tong Ming didn't conceal the truth, "She's the daughter of a friend of mine, but what is she doing here?"

"She can be considered a VIP around here!" Chen Yu pointed to a mural on the side, "She painted that, and she also drew a comic book to specifically promote my shop."

Tong Ming was somewhat surprised, "Old Tang's daughter became a painter?"

Chen Yu didn't say much more; it was a busy time, and he wasn't in the mood for idle chatter.

"Old Chen, can you provide fifty flatbreads and twenty pounds of marinated meat right now? I'm in a hurry."

Xie Jiang entered the shop, wearing a safety helmet and work clothes, looking rather anxious.

"Sure, I'll pack it up for you right now!" Chen Yu quickly responded.

Xie Jiang was relieved, as he was off to tackle an emergency project.

If he couldn't get the flatbreads and marinated meat, they would have had to hastily eat something else for lunch.

"Speaking of which, Old Chen, where's your girlfriend? Why haven't I seen her today?"

Chen Yu paused in the middle of packing the flatbreads; Tong Ya seemed not to have come downstairs today.

These past few days, every morning when taking Tuan Tuan out, Tong Ya would come to the kitchen to hug him before leaving.

Could something have happened?

"Upstairs!" Chen Yu replied briefly and then asked Chu Hong, who was next to him, to pack up Xie Jiang's order.

He rubbed his hands together and hurried upstairs.

Tong Ming, who had been sitting aside, suddenly moved close to Xie Jiang.

"This young boss Chen, he's got a girlfriend now?"

Xie Jiang nodded, "It's a recent development! Before, Old Chen was divorced with a child, but now it's good, he's finally able to find a stepmother for the child and have a complete family."

Tong Ming became gossipy all at once, "He just said his girlfriend is upstairs, they must be living together already."

"It seems so!" Xie Jiang nodded, "But Old Chen's girlfriend is really not bad; not only is she pretty, but she also has a good personality, and she's quite a good match for Old Chen."

In the meantime, Chu Hong had finished packing up the flatbreads and marinated meat.

Xie Jiang quickly paid, exchanged a few words with Tong Ming, and then hurried off.

Tong Ming stood there with bulging eyes, stunned for quite a while.

"Just now, Old Tang's daughter went upstairs, and Boss Chen said that Xiaowei is his VIP, could it be..."

After muttering to himself for a while, Tong Ming suddenly slapped his hands together.

"That Old Tang, too much, I just mentioned his marinated meat to him last time, and he actually sent his daughter out."

Li Shuai, who was next to him, overheard and quickly came over.

"Manager Tong, are you saying Tang Family's daughter has become someone's stepmother?"

"What do you mean stepmother?" Tong Ming was inexplicably irritated, "With such an outstanding young man, what's wrong with being a stepmother?"

Li Shuai was suddenly scolded, and he was a bit startled.

"Manager Tong, I meant that it's been over two years since Tang has been looking for his daughter, do you think we should talk to Tang Family about it?"

Without hesitation, Tong Ming took out his cellphone, "Today we have a cooperation project with Tang Family, and it's agreed to discuss it in Suzhou City; I think we should just meet directly here!"

At this moment, Chen Yu had already gone upstairs. As soon as he entered, he saw Tong Ya holding Tang Xiaowei's hand, with what seemed to be a pleading look in her eyes.
