Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Craving Ice Cream or Missing Uncle?

"I don't even care about being this damned manager!"

Wang Xiong cursed under his breath and then stormed out with a face full of anger.

Watching Wang Xiong's defeated figure leaving, Zhou Yujie felt a sudden rush of relief and refreshment.

It was like eating a big slice of ice-cold watermelon on a scorching hot day!

All the depression and frustration that had built up because of him dissipated in that instant!

Zhou Yujie glanced at Wu Wei next to her, her eyes filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for him, she would still be living every day in the nuisance and fear of Wang Xiong's harassment.

She would never have been able to breathe easy!

[Zhou Yujie's favourability +5]

Another 5 points of favourability?

Seeing the system prompt, Wu Wei was delighted and immediately turned to look at Zhou Yujie.

She was gazing warmly at him, so he smiled and nodded at her.

Meanwhile, other employees in the hotpot restaurant felt extremely satisfied upon seeing Wang Xiong being fired.

Wang Xiong had fully revealed his true nature after breaking up with Zhou Yujie, dropping all pretense.

Taking advantage of his position as the manager, he had been throwing his weight around, and everyone had long been annoyed with him.

Not to mention, there were rumors that he had abused Zhou Yujie.

Females naturally despised and detested this type of domestic abuser.

Males felt genuine contempt and disdain.

Especially because he had been violent with the woman who had been their idol.

When Zhou Yujie was working in the store, which guy hadn't liked her?

After he wooed her, everyone was dying of envy, yet he failed to treasure her and even abused her!

So when Wang Xiong left, everyone spontaneously burst into applause.

"He's finally gone, thank goodness!"

"Finally, we don't have to put up with that idiot anymore!"

"Honestly, if he hadn't been fired, I was planning to resign in a few days."

...

Hearing these words, Yang Lixin's face couldn't help but turn even more awkward.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, Could it be that the business not meeting expectations had something to do with Wang Xiong?

After giving a few more instructions, everyone went their separate ways.

"Boss Yang, let's go handle the changes now, and try to complete all the procedures today," Wu Wei said to Yang Lixin.

Although the agreement and contract had already been signed, the hotpot restaurant was not yet completely owned by Zhou Yujie.

They still had to handle tax clearance and then apply to the business administration bureau for a change of operator. Only after all the procedures were completed would the transfer of the store be officially finalized.

"No problem," Yang Lixin readily agreed.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, all the procedures had been processed and submitted. If all went well, they could receive the business license in a few days.

Coming out of the business administration bureau, Wu Wei checked the time and said to Zhou Yujie, "It's four o'clock, we can just make it to pick up Xuanxuan from school."

"Great, Xuanxuan will be so happy to see you,"

Zhou Yujie said smilingly to Wu Wei, "She kept mentioning 'Uncle' yesterday."

Xuanxuan's kindergarten normally ended at four-thirty.

But this time was too early, and Zhou Yujie could not manage it, so she had registered for extended service, which could last until six o'clock in the evening.

She had planned to let Xuanxuan play a bit longer at the kindergarten, then rush there immediately after work, trying her best to juggle both responsibilities.

However, most of the time she was unable to leave work on time, and accounting for travel time as well,

Xuanxuan usually ended up waiting a little longer, almost always being the last one to leave.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for a child not to feel disheartened.

Fortunately, she had finally managed to escape it all, and no longer had to fumble around.

The day after she had completed her resignation, she arrived early at the school gates to pick up Xuanxuan.

Upon seeing her, Xuanxuan was overjoyed.

She kept telling her friends and teacher that her mom was there on time to pick her up that day.

Listening to her, she felt both happy and heart-wrenched.

The two quickly drove to Xuanxuan's kindergarten.

After Wu Wei got out of the car, he surveyed the area and noticed two bodyguards disguised as parents picking up children in the corner. He immediately approached them and said, "No trouble today, I hope?"

The two instantly replied, "No."

"That's good. Be more vigilant these days."

Wu Wei was afraid that Wang Xiong might do something rash after being fired, so he specifically came to remind the two.

"Don't worry, boss. If he shows up, we'll definitely spot him right away," they assured him, patting their chests.

Wu Wei nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then returned to Yujie's side.

Right then, it was time for school to let out, and the kindergarten teachers began leading the children out of the classrooms.

As soon as Xuanxuan stepped out, she began scanning for them and quickly spotted Yujie and Wu Wei.

She immediately turned excitedly to a little boy next to her and said, "Look, my mom came to pick me up again today. I told you my mom would pick me up every day from now on. You didn't believe me. Apologize to me now!"

The little boy sulked and reluctantly said, "Sorry."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxuan grinned broadly and boasted, "And my uncle came to pick me up too. My uncle is awesome. He bought me the best ice cream in the world and lots and lots of toys. Do you have an uncle?"

The little boy turned away, pretending not to care, but inside he was incredibly envious.

"Mom, Uncle!"

Seeing this, Xuanxuan ignored him and bounced towards Wu Wei and Yujie.

Then she threw herself into Yujie's arms.

Yujie stroked Xuanxuan's head and then said, "Go hug your uncle, too."

Wu Wei immediately crouched down, opened his arms, and said, "Xuanxuan, come let uncle give you a hug!"

Xuanxuan immediately let go of Yujie and threw herself into Wu Wei's arms, saying, "Uncle, I missed you so much yesterday!"

"Really? Did you miss your uncle that much?"

Wu Wei was rather surprised to hear this, not expecting the little one to have such deep affection for him, "Aren't you going to give your uncle a kiss then?"

"Mua mua!"

Xuanxuan immediately kissed Wu Wei twice on the face.

"Oh, delightful!" Wu Wei laughed and lifted Xuanxuan into his arms.

"Uncle, can you buy me ice cream today?"

Xuanxuan looked up at him with her big eyes, filled with desire.

"Of course!"

Xuanxuan was now his treasure chest; he absolutely had to pamper her!

Besides, personally, he was very fond of Xuanxuan.

Wu Wei looked at Xuanxuan and said, "But Xuanxuan, did you miss your uncle yesterday, or did you miss your uncle's ice cream?"

"Of course, it was you, Uncle!"

Xuanxuan replied without hesitation.

Wu Wei couldn't help but feel overjoyed upon hearing this.

However, the next second, Xuanxuan added, "Because Uncle is the one who can buy Xuanxuan delicious ice cream!"
