Xiang Xiaoyuan was busying himself. Xu Xiyao stood outside the door and watched them busily.
It could only be said that Lu Wanggui was indeed a big shot. When the real estate agent sent someone over, the lights of the convenience store lit up again. Xiang Xiaoyuan looked incredulous. “You really know how to fix this? !”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was kept busy. Xu Xiyao stood outside the door and watched them.
Lu Wanggui was indeed a big shot. When the property management sent someone over, the lights in the convenience store were already lit up. Xiang Xiaoyuan looked incredulous. “You really did know how to fix this?!”
What the hell? This man didn’t give anyone else a chance!
It was one thing to know how to make money and do business, but Lu Wanggui even knew how to fix electrical circuits.
Xiang Xiaoyuan was once again surprised. This man was too outstanding.
Lu Wanggui’s expression was very calm. “Bring me to the washroom.”
“Okay.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan brought Lu Wanggui to the convenience store’s washroom. The convenience store was not too big, and so wasn’t the washroom.
“Help me roll up my sleeves a little higher.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan stood beside Lu Wanggui, leaned close to him, and lowered her head to roll up his sleeves.
Lu Wanggui bent over, and washed his hands. As he slowly washed his hands, he said, “I’m not very familiar with the circuit, it’s just that this particular problem is not difficult.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”
You’re being too modest!
But this man is really great!
After Lu Wanggui washed his hands, Xiang Xiaoyuan handed him a tissue to wipe his hands. The two of them walked out of the small bathroom together. The convenience store’s power was up again, the lights were bright, and the air-conditioning was restored. It was no longer like a steamer.
Lu Wanggui gazed at Xu Xiyao, who was tidying up his things on the shelf, and then looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan and asked, “Shall we go home together?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded, she walked briskly to Xu Xiyao’s side and said, “Close up early today. Also, don’t forget to have dinner. You’re at the age where your body is growing. You should eat your meals normally. Also, don’t stay up too late. It’s not good for your health.”
This was something that Xiang Xiaoyuan had learned from Lu Wanggui. She shouldn’t be stingy with her employees.
Thinking about it, Xu Xiyao was her first employee after she came here. This meant that no matter how many employees she had in the future, Xu Xiyao would always be the first. So as the boss, shouldn’t she take care of him? Moreover, Xu Xiyao was indeed worthy of being taken care of. He had good grades, was smart and sensible. He was supporting his family. Who wouldn’t like such a person?
Xu Xiyao was squatting at the bottom of the shelf, tidying up the items. When he heard that, he raised his head and looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan. His gaze was as calm as before, but his hands subconsciously tightened around the pastry bag, he replied in a low voice, “Yes, I will.”
“Okay, then I’ll go back first.” Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded. “If there’s anything, you can call me.”
“Okay.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan returned to Lu Wanggui’s side. “Let’s go. Is the car still outside?”
Lu Wanggui shook his head. “I asked the driver to drive it back. It’s not far anyway. Let’s walk.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan had a good impression of him. The temperature outside was not cool, but since she was in a good mood, she agreed to accompany him for a walk home!
The two of them walked out of the convenience store. Xu Xiyao, whose legs were numb from squatting on the shelves, slowly stood up.
Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Wanggui walked towards the villa area. There were two security booths at the main entrance. The security guards in this area were very serious and responsible. They were still standing guard outside at this hour.
As if influenced by Xiang Xiaoyuan, Lu Wanggui became used to chatting with her. “Is your assistant at least eighteen years old?”
“Yes.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded. “He’s Lu Bei’s classmate. He’s going to be a senior when school starts. I heard that he goes to school later, so he’s one, two, or three years older than Lu Bei.”
Every time he saw Lu Bei and Xu Xiyao, Xiang Xiaoyuan would think of the classic saying, “The child of the poor matures early.”
“He’s a hardworking child,” Lu Wanggui’s tone was indifferent.
“Yes, he’s also a very good person. Although he doesn’t talk much, he does things beautifully and is reliable. I reckon that in the future, he will do well. The difficulties now are only temporary.”
Lu Wanggui could sense that Xiang Xiaoyuan admired Xu Xiyao very much. He raised his head and looked at the crescent moon in the sky indifferently. “Seeing him reminds me of some things in the past.”
Only then did Xiang Xiaoyuan remember that Lu Wanggui’s situation back then seemed to be even worse than Xu Xiyao’s.
She paused for a moment and asked curiously, “Something from the past?”
This was the first time in such a long time that she had heard Lu Wanggui mention the past. She had read the full novel.. There was not much about Lu Wanggui’s past, but she could still feel the bitterness from the text.
