He Jieying broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this.

When did she express her dissatisfaction with Su's employee restaurant?

Who is trying to trick her?

Her mind raced rapidly, thinking about how to reply.

"Well, Mr. Su... I think our company's restaurant is pretty good, but... but if you want to attract foreign investment and expand your catering taste, it's also a good idea!" She responded cautiously.

Su Jinye suddenly had another idea, "Did you and Yanyan like to eat that bullfrog hot pot before?"

After hearing this, He Jieying nodded repeatedly, "Are you talking about Ji's Bullfrog Hot Pot Restaurant? Yes, we often eat there because... you know..."

It was hard for her to continue talking, as this already involved Shu Yan's privacy. Although she had confessed everything before, there was a third person present at this moment.

Su Jinye touched her chin as if thinking.

He Jieying added: "But now, the owner of that hot pot restaurant has changed. Before, Uncle Ji was in urgent need of money for some reasons, so he transferred the store. However, the store still uses the original cook and waiter. So business is still booming.”

Su Jinye understood and waved her down, "I understand, get out!"

He Jieying breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt like she was surviving a disaster.

Returning to her desk, as soon as she sat down, someone came over curiously.

"I'll go! Yingying, did our supervisor bring you something to eat?" That person didn't see Su Jinye just now, so he simply thought that the lunch box in her hand was given by the new supervisor.

Fortunately, the supervisor is a woman, otherwise, He Jieying wouldn't know how to explain it clearly.

"Yeah, she..."

However, just as she was about to admit it, Su Jinye suddenly walked out of the new supervisor's office, glanced back in her direction, and reminded her again: "Remember to wash up!"

He Jieying! ! !

Others! ! ! ? ? ?

Wait, there is an ambiguity in what he said! ! !

……

Shu Yan came to a large, slightly rusty iron door and knocked lightly.

She was first greeted by the barking of cats and dogs, and then someone came to open the door. It was an elderly woman.

Shu Yan thought she was the old lady Shi he wanted to take care of, so he smiled and asked, "Is this Grandma Shi? I am a volunteer who came to help today. Director Hu from the community street introduced me."

According to Ji Lingchuan's request, she could not reveal her relationship with Ji to the people in this family, let alone mention that she recognized him.

Although full of doubts, Shu Yan still followed his request.

However, the mother-in-law who opened the door shook her head and said: "My surname is Hua, you can just call me Grandma Hua. Do you have a letter of introduction? You also have your ID card. Let me take a look."

Shu Yan was very embarrassed, she actually recognized the wrong person.

Fortunately, she had prepared a letter of introduction and ID card in advance.

Granny Hua took it and confirmed, "Xia Yiyan?"

Shu Yan nodded.

Granny Hua returned the ID to her, then turned sideways to let her into the house, "My old lady is inside. She is not in good health and needs to rest. Please be gentle."

Shu Yan nodded, "I understand!"

Entering the yard, the first thing you see is a small artificial fish pond.

The water in the fish pond has turned green, and a few fish swim in it from time to time.

The cats and dogs that had been barking just now had been locked in a large cage in advance, probably to prevent them from attacking strange visitors.

"Miss Xia, please come with me." Granny Hua led her from the front.

As she walked, she observed her surroundings.

This is an old courtyard house. The houses are all tile-roofed houses, and they all have only one floor. A large area of ​​the low wall was covered with moss, and some of the wall paint was peeling off.

However, it is obvious that this family likes to grow flowers.

And the flowers seemed to be the same species as those outside the terrace of Ji Lingchuan's room in the Long family. No wonder they covered the wall, but they had a different charm.

"Ms. Xia, the old lady is still asleep inside. Go in! Tell me what you need."

When she walked to the door of a room, Granny Hua opened the door for her.

Shu Yan said thank you and walked in.

The room is quite spacious and has a faint scent of sandalwood.

Shu Yan guessed that the old lady was probably more religious at this time, so she also lit sandalwood in the room.

And this room still retains very old-fashioned furniture, such as the big bed in the middle, which was the favorite bed of wealthy families in ancient times. It is huge and the wooden fence with four corner columns is full of exquisite carvings. The pattern looks very expensive at first glance.

However, no matter how expensive or good the furniture is, if an elderly person lives here alone without his family to accompany him, he will feel lonely.

The old lady was still sleeping when he saw her, so Shu Yan didn't disturb her and just wandered around the room.

It's strange to say that except for the bed, the other furniture in this room is of average quality and not made of high-quality wood. It doesn't look like a real wealthy family, but it feels like it's all handmade.

Therefore, Shu Yan once again boldly guessed that this family was probably in a state of decline. They sold off their valuable furniture and kept only the Babu bed for themselves, and then made other furniture using ordinary wood, as long as it was practical.

But now, the people who make furniture are probably gone.

Otherwise, why are there only two old people left in such a large courtyard house?

Shu Yan was filled with emotion again.

At this moment, she saw a tea table placed in the corner of the bedroom. It looked to be quite old.

She plugged in the switch and tried it, and found that it still worked.

But when I opened the drawer under the tea table, I found that there was no tea at all.

Shu Yan had a sudden idea and quickly took out a piece of tea cake she carried with her from her bag, and used a knife to scrape off some broken tea leaves.

Granny Hua was still watering the flowers in the yard when she suddenly smelled a faint scent of tea.

She put down the tools in her hands curiously, walked back to the house, opened the door of the old lady's room and looked inside.

I saw that the little girl she had just brought in was making tea skillfully.

But that tea table has not been used since the master passed away.

"What are you doing?" Granny Hua walked up and asked her with a frown and some displeasure.

Shu Yan was startled because when he was taking out things just now, he discovered that there were many old-fashioned but rare tea sets here, and the materials were all of high quality, which cannot be bought with money.

So as soon as I got it, I took it all out and tried it.

"Um... I'm sorry, I just saw something for making tea here. My hands were itchy, so I tried it to see if it still works. Does Grandma Shi not like to drink tea? If she does, there should be some tea leaves here. of."

Granny Hua turned to look at the bed worriedly, "Put these away quickly. These are the things that the master used when he was alive. The old lady and the master have a very good relationship. If you touch his things now, the old lady will wake up later... "

However, before he finished speaking, he heard an old and lazy voice coming from the bed: "Who is it, making tea here? Come on, help me up and take a look..."
