The little guy was lying in Shen Qiang's arms, silent, with both hands holding Shen Qiang's neck, and then sneaking glances at the bag of candy in Bianyi's hand.

He wanted it.

This was something that everyone present could feel.

But obviously, although the little guy was very young, he seemed to already have a definition for the word 'dad' in his mind, so he didn't seem to want to call out.

After giving Bianyi a look, Shen Qiang snatched the candy from his hand, then took out one piece for the little guy, saying, "You can't cry and scream when eating candy, otherwise Uncle will never give you candy again."

The little guy nodded, indicating that he understood.

He then began to eat the candy contentedly.

Shen Qiang observed him very carefully.

In fact, there is some danger for such a small child to eat candy.

The main concern was choking.

But it wasn't a big problem, Shen Qiang was a cultivator and also a doctor, so he had the ability to deal with any problems that might arise.

While clowning around with the kid,

the others chatted.

Bai Jiao said excitedly to Shen Qiang, "Shen Qiang, the lady boss Gao Hui of this shop is quite impressive. That Jing Xiangwei is so arrogant, she treated me and Xu Nan as if she didn't know us."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Are you close friends?"

Bai Jiao raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Not close. The Jing Family is a second-rate family, not on our level, but we've met at least twice before, this should be the third time, and she's acting as if she doesn't recognize me."

Xu Nan laughed, "Why would she acknowledge you? What should she say? Say, 'Ah Miss Bai, hello, I am Jing Xiangwei, I'm currently working as a cashier at a bun shop'?"

Bai Jiao frowned, "That's not what I meant. There's nothing wrong with her being a cashier, I wouldn't look down on her for that."

Xu Nan laughed, "You would, because I know you too well. You've always been materialistic since you were young."

Bai Jiao helplessly raised an eyebrow, "Are you trying to pick a fight?"

Xu Nan smiled.

Before the two could erupt, Shen Qiang interjected, "Alright, can you ladies change the topic, please? Especially when I hear that even the Jing Family doesn't have enough status. I took a ten-thousand-point critical hit because I'm not even on par with them."

Bai Jiao burst out laughing and teased, "Now the young lady of the Jing Family is working for you. I heard it loud and clear just a moment ago, she called you boss."

"Yes, I heard it too," Xu Nan smiled. "Looking at the Cultivation World, I can't think of anyone who's so impressive that they could have the Jing Family's young lady working as a cashier at a bun shop. If this news gets out, I guess the youngsters of the Cultivation World would be stunned."

Hearing this, Bianyi laughed, "Our boss is awesome. If you guys hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known."

Ji Liangchuan looked unhappy and said, "Shen Qiang, my fourth brother is crazy. He will soon find out that Jing Xiangwei is working here. If you don't fire her, my fourth brother won't let this go."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and replied, "I've already talked about this issue and I don't want to repeat myself. One, she was hired by Gao Hui, and I'm not clear on the nature of their relationship yet. Two, my relationship with her is very simple; we needed staff when the bun shop opened, and she wanted a job."

"There's nothing else to it. If your fourth brother wants to make trouble over such a trivial matter, I don't mind letting him learn what it means to be malicious."

Ji Liangchuan was displeased, "Are you threatening my fourth brother?"

"I'm issuing a warning," Shen Qiang said indifferently.

Ji Liangchuan felt helpless.

Bai Jiao's eyes curved with laughter as she looked at Shen Qiang and said, "Shen Qiang, you're truly formidable. Our Ji Liangchuan, Ji seventh young master, is known in the Cultivation World as a madman, but to think that you mocked him and he actually endured it."

"Because I want to recruit him to be my underling," Ji Liangchuan raised an eyebrow.

Xu Nan laughed, "Then why do I feel like you're the one acting as his underling?"

Ji Liangchuan was stunned.

At this time, the waiter began to serve dishes.

All were fairly common dishes.

Then, the first pot of assorted buns was brought out directly.

When Shen Qiang's special seasoning was used, a unique fragrance filled the air.

It made everyone present enjoy their food immensely.

"Delicious, so tasty," Bai Jiao's beautiful eyes shone, "No wonder I've been hearing people talk about the West Beauty Buns recently, the flavor is really amazing."

Xu Nan's eyes lit up as well, "Give me the ones with meat filling." She then continued to eat and said to Shen Qiang, "These buns are much tastier than the ones from Datong River. You might as well have the Datong River chefs come here to learn a thing or two."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Are you joking? Datong River is a high-end restaurant, the positioning is different from a bun shop. Here, you can eat a big table full of dishes for two to three hundred RMB and a lot of buns. But if these buns were at Datong River, customers would come in, eat two buns each, and then leave. We wouldn't even cover labor costs."

Bai Jiao laughed, "Right, you're a sly businessman, so Datong River sells buns at more than ten times the price of this place, and they're not even as tasty as these."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Then try the dishes."

Only then did they begin to eat their meals.

As a result, once they started on the dishes, they began to frown, "These dishes are too ordinary, not tasty at all, probably made by an apprentice, right? They're simply inedible compared to those from Datong River."

Shen Qiang laughed, "The chef of this bun shop was hired for seven thousand RMB a month, while the chefs at Datong River make thirty thousand US Dollars, which is equivalent to two hundred thousand RMB. It's the same job, but the salary is thirty times different. A chef at Datong River earns in one day what a bun shop chef makes in a month. Can you tell me where the difference lies?"

Xu Nan laughed, "Indeed, a bun shop's profits can't pay for a top-tier chef's salary."

Seeing Shen Qiang affectionately helping the little one empty the bun fillings and then handing the bun skin to the little one, Bianyi commented with a weird look in his eyes, "Why give him just the bun skin?"

Hearing this, everyone curiously looked at the little one happily gnawing on the bun skin.

Shen Qiang instinctively replied, "Because he's still little. The flavor that's just right for you would be too salty for him. Moreover, his milk teeth haven't fully come in yet, so the vegetables and minced meat in the bun fillings are too hard for him. The bun skin has flavor and it's soft, very suitable for him to eat."

Hearing this, Bianyi's eyes brightened as he looked at the little one nibbling on the bun skin and said with a smile, "Hey, little buddy, do you think this uncle beside you is nice? If you call him daddy, he can not only take you out for meals, but also take you out to play, and even to the zoo to see monkeys."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

Shen Qiang frowned and said, "Stop messing around."

At this moment, the smiling and radiant beauty Gao Hui arrived, just as she stepped in and smiled, about to speak.

That's when the little one sitting in Shen Qiang's arms, holding the bun skin, looked up at Shen Qiang.

Everyone heard him clearly call out, "Daddy, daddy!"
