Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although there was the episode of the new transfer student, training soon got back on track.

Xia Chen, although often targeted by a few boys in the cla.s.s, had a good foundation and could fluently answer even the most tricky and confrontational questions.

At the end of the training cla.s.s, before the boys could surround him, the foreign language teacher had already escorted Teacher Lin away first.

Zhou Chen was disappointed, but he did not give up hope in his heart.

At least when he had no chance to approach Teacher Lin, neither did anyone else, right?

Brother, how was it today? Did Zhou Chen and the others bother you? Xia Wan asked with concern at the dinner table.

After todays events in cla.s.s, Xia Wan was somewhat worried that Xia Chen would be targeted in the training cla.s.s.

Xia Chen shook his head: They did provoke me, but it was all minor issues, easy to deal with.

Hearing Xia Chens increasingly confident tone, a smile appeared on Xia Wans face.

However, a new transfer student arrived today, which was a bit strange, Xia Chen continued.

Who? Xia Wan asked casually, shoveling food into her mouth.

That transfer student Jiang Lu, Xia Chen said, adding a shrimp to Xia Wans bowl.

Xia Wan was momentarily stunned before asking, Didnt he not sign up for the reception? Whats he doing there?

Im not sure, but the princ.i.p.al and the director personally took him there, Xia Chen said casually, but Xia Wan sensed something amiss.

Xia Hai and Yan Han had been busy in and out of the shop these past few days. Apparently, because Wen Shus shop suddenly closed, many customers turned to Xias shop, keeping the couple extremely busy.

Finally, the family gathered for a meal, but the parents couldnt understand what their son and daughter were talking about, so they just exchanged glances.

Xia Wan, sensing Xia Hai and Yan Hans mood, changed the topic: Mom and Dad, whats been happening in the shop these days? Is it very busy? Do you need our help?

Yan Han couldnt hide her joy. The shop has been really busy these days. Zhou En has been helping out almost all day, which has been a lot of work for her.

The shop across the street has had only a few customers these past few days, and theyve recently put up For Sale and Transfer of Owners.h.i.+p signs.

Xia Wan could see Yan Hans excitement and Xia Hais hesitation, Do you have any thoughts about the shop across the street?

Upon hearing Xia Wans question, Xia Hai and Yan Han exchanged glances before speaking with a hint of expectation: Weve discussed it and are thinking of taking over the shop across the street.

The shop has a s.p.a.cious location and has a customer base. It would be a shame to let it go to waste.

Listening to Xia Hails thoughts, Xia Wan nodded after a while, Dad, I think we should wait for Chen MO to come back and hear his opinion on the shop.

That place originally belonged to Wen Shu, but he seems to have not returned to resolve the issue. Im afraid there might be more problems if we take over without resolving these issues.

Xia Wan clearly expressed her thoughts to Xia Hai.

She vividly remembered Jiang Lus previous warning about Wen Shu. With Wen Shus whereabouts still uncertain, she couldnt take it lightly!

Xia Hai and Yan Han trusted Xia Wans words completely and immediately nodded in agreement: Well listen to you, you make the arrangements.

Since the shop has been so busy lately, how about we hire two more people to help out? Xia Wan was concerned about her parents ability to handle such intense work.

This, this might cost quite a bit Yan Han hesitated.

Although their familys situation had changed, hiring staff still cost a significant amount of money.

They had discussed taking over the shop across the street for a long time before consulting with Xia Wan.

But taking over the shop was for expanding and attracting more customers, to earn more money.

Hiring people now would just be wasting money.

Seeing Yan Hans hesitation, Xia Wan took her hand, Mom, I dont want you and Dad to work too hard.

The shop is now running smoothly and will only get busier.

Zhou En cant be in the shop all the time, so I think its necessary to hire two people to help.

Xia Hai and Yan Han looked at each other and finally nodded, Well take your advice..
