「At 8 a.m.」

Shen Jiayue drove to Dongming Building. After parking, she took the elevator to the audit firm upstairs. Just as she had clocked in, the delivery guy arrived, calling out, "Shen Jiayue, your breakfast!"

"Coming, coming!"

She dashed to the door and took the takeout bag from the delivery guy. "Thank you, bro!"

A breakfast made with love by my Xu Bao!

There are Pork Grease buns, fresh and fragrant egg soup, and of course, the most important part is the sugar triangle I dreamed about all night! Last night, I dreamed about eating sugar triangles all night long. In the dream, no matter how many I ate, a lot of sugar syrup would spill out, soiling my clothes and making me extremely anxious. It wasn't until I woke up this morning that I realized my pillow was wet with drool.

Hush... I mustn't let Xu Bao find out, or he'll tease me!

At this time, not many people had arrived at the audit firm. Some were using the few minutes before work to catch up on sleep, while others were eating breakfast they had bought on the way. But soon, a delicious aroma captured everyone's attention.

They turned to look. Sure enough, Shen Jiayue was eating her love-filled breakfast.

A few female colleagues curiously asked, "Little Yue, did your mother-in-law steam buns for you again?"

The aroma of these buns was just like the ones Shen Jiayue had on her first day of work. She had said then that her mother-in-law made them.

Had her mother-in-law come to Beijing again?

"My mother-in-law is back in our hometown. These were made by my husband!"

HAHA, the buns Xu Bao makes are just as delicious as my mother-in-law's. Now I can have them whenever I want!

The rich aroma of the Pork Grease buns and the fresh scent of the egg soup made the other office workers involuntarily swallow.

Last night, when Yuan Fei was conducting a lunch survey in the staff group, everyone was relieved that once Lin Ji started providing lunch, they wouldn't have to endure Shen Jiayue's "dog food" anymore. This was because everyone's lunch would be provided by Lin Ji and delivered all at once.

However, they hadn't expected her to start receiving breakfast deliveries so early in the morning.

She was truly flaunting her relationship in every way possible.

Shen Jiayue finished the Pork Grease bun with relish and then took a sugar triangle from her lunch box. It was about half the size of her palm, small and exquisite.

Wow! It's exactly like the ones my grandma used to make when I was little! I remember when I was a child, every time Grandma steamed buns, she would make a few delicate sugar triangles just for me. I never expected Xu Bao to make them so exquisitely and cutely. Thank you, Xu Bao, for taking me back to my childhood in an instant. How wonderful it would have been if you were there back then. I would have stolen sugar triangles from home every day to feed you. Yep, feeding you from primary school all the way to university!

Thinking these thoughts, she contentedly took a bite of the sugar triangle.

The white dough was fluffy and soft to the bite. It tasted a bit like bread, which meant the dough had been perfectly fermented, and the ratio of yeast to flour was also perfect.

Inside the dough was dark red sugar syrup. The syrup was thick, exuding the unique sweetness of cane sugar and the fragrance of flour, so she didn't have to worry at all about it leaking from where she bit.

AAAAH, Xu Bao, did you install a camera in my dream? Otherwise, how did you know I'm most afraid of this sugar syrup spilling everywhere?

「In the store.」

Lin Xu and the staff were busy with various tasks when Chen Yan hurried in, holding several pages of a contract for cooperation with an online broadcaster.

"Brother-in-law! Who on earth is Gao Xiaoshuai? Without showing their face or using their real voice, they received over two hundred Carnivals in donations last night. This morning at seven, they got ten more... I need to sign them quickly, otherwise, they'll definitely be snatched up by another company."

This is sure to cause a sensation in the live-streaming circle.

But wait... they donated ten more?

Lin Xu curiously asked, "Were the donations this morning and last night from the same person?"

"The same person. Their name is Die Lianhua, and they're now number one on the patron rankings. Many broadcasters started live-streaming early this morning to greet this big shot Die Lianhua, hoping to win them over and secure a wave of donations."

Lin Xu was speechless.

Leopard Print Auntie had been cursing her master as an old swindler just after six o'clock. Why did she suddenly donate thirty thousand yuan? Is this some new kind of push-and-pull tactic? I really don't understand the minds of these middle-aged and elderly idol fans.

He took the contract and casually pointed to the steamer. "There are buns and sugar triangles inside, steamed this morning. If you want some, you can ask Che Zai to get them for you. I'll look at this contract first."

Buns? Sugar triangles?

Chen Yan, who was usually all business, instantly transformed into a foodie. "Get me two buns and a sugar triangle, please. I rushed here early this morning after printing a contract and haven't eaten anything yet."

Che Zai brought over the buns and sugar triangles on a plate and also served her a bowl of egg soup. Chen Yan sat down at the dining table by the kitchen door and started eating.

Lin Xu carefully read through the contract. After confirming there were no clauses that restricted his master, he said, "Leave the contract here for now. I'll give it to you after it's signed."

A flicker of surprise passed through Chen Yan's eyes. "Why so secretive? Brother-in-law, that Gao Xiaoshuai... it's not you, is it?"

"It's not me; it's my master."

The contract had to be signed with his real name; his master's alias couldn't be hidden anymore. But to suddenly become a major broadcaster right after starting to stream... I reckon Master won't be able to resist showing off a bit, right? They'd just have to cut out the part where Leopard Print Auntie was hitting him; that part wasn't very brag-worthy.

"What? Gao Xiaoshuai is Old Man Gao? My goodness! How many aliases does he actually have?"

This was a question Lin Xu couldn't answer, because he also had no idea how many aliases his master really had.

After placing the contract in the cash register's drawer, Lin Xu went back to the kitchen to get busy again. Today they were making stir-fried chicken pieces, so there were quite a few ingredients to prepare, and the back kitchen was busy.

Chen Yan ate three Pork Grease buns and two sugar triangles, and drank two bowls of egg soup. She was so full she had to walk with her hands on her waist, yet she still coveted the remaining sugar triangles. Worried they might be gone by her next visit, she deliberately packed a few to take back to the office.

Well, there's a microwave at the company anyway. She could just ask someone to heat them up when she wanted to eat. Simple.

Not long after Chen Yan left, Yuan Fei pushed open the door and walked in.

"Boss Lin, I'm here on behalf of the audit firm to discuss some business. Are you interested?"

Business? Lin Xu thought, wiping his hands as he walked out of the kitchen. Are they holding another training session? If it's business, Jiayue could have come. Why is he here to talk to me specifically?

"The people at our audit firm voted to order lunch from you from now on. Do you offer discounts for group orders?"

No wonder... Lin Xu thought. The last training was paid for by the Audit Bureau, so the firm was more generous. But this time, it's coming out of their own pockets, so they want to negotiate a discount. He wasn't averse to this. For long-term business, it's indeed reasonable to offer some discount. After all, these people won't eat in the store and won't interfere with its regular business. This profit is essentially a bonus.

He thought for a moment and said, "How about a 20% discount for you guys?"

"That would be great." Yuan Fei was pleasantly surprised. He'd thought a 10% discount would be good enough, especially since the shop's business was booming, making this long-term deal somewhat non-essential for Lin Ji. "This is all thanks to Shen Jiayue!"

Just as the two had finished signing the agreement, a system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind. "Host has signed a long-term business deal, completing the hidden task [Long-Term Order], and received one Excellent Level snack draw. Would you like to draw now?"

A snack? Lin Xu's curiosity was piqued...
