Chapter 435: Feeling empty in my heart(2/2)
At this time, Cai Heng suddenly asked: "But my aunt is here?"
The woman behind the screen was stunned, then stood up, walked closer, took a look, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Heng'er is here too. You just returned to Luoyang? Why don't you go back to your home to see your father first?"
Cai Heng chuckled, glanced at Sima Yi and Xu Shu, and said, "I wanted to invite my two brothers to go back to the house together. Isn't this a delay?"
This woman was the daughter of the Fan family who first helped Cai Yan start the soap business in Luoyang. Although she was not the biological mother of the three siblings, she had always treated the three siblings as her own children, so they had always had a close relationship.
Mrs. Fan walked outside, bowed to Xu Shu and Sima Yi, and said, "My Heng'er has always relied on these two young gentlemen to take care of her."
"I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it." Xu Shu and Xu Shu hurriedly stood up and returned the courtesy.
Mrs. Fan touched Cai Heng's head and saw that he had lost weight and darkened a lot. She said distressedly: "Are you still going after the Chinese New Year?"
Cai Heng thought he was an adult, so he blushed and pushed away Fan's hand, and said matter-of-factly: "Of course I want to go. I'm the chief of city affairs in Shuofang County. They can't do it without me taking charge of the overall situation."
"Oh? You are the chief administrative officer of Shuofang City. Come on, come on and tell me why you demolished my soup pool?"
On the other side of the screen, Zhang Hui came out holding a baby. Although he was questioning, his tone was actually full of anger.
Cai Heng was stunned. He didn't expect to meet the strong woman behind the soup pool. It would be difficult to deal with it now. Moreover, Shuofang's soup pool was not demolished by him, but...
At this time, Sima Yi stood up, bowed his hands to Zhang Hui, and said, "So that Manager Zhang will know that I came up with the idea of demolishing the soup pool."
Zhang Hui naturally did not dare to offend Wei Jun's chief disciple, but was just curious about how he would explain.
"The two soup pools are asymmetrical from left to right, which affects the look and feel of the entire Shuofang City."
"...Is it because of this?"
Sima Yi cupped his hands and said seriously: "Yes, because of the asymmetry."
Zhang Hui and Fan both looked confused.
Only Xu Shu and Cai Heng, who were accustomed to Sima Yi's seriousness and nonsense, smiled bitterly at the side.
Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Manager Zhang, you can rest assured. I have ordered people to rebuild the soup pool before, and it must be open for business now."
Zhang Hui glanced at Sima Yi with a strange expression, then walked back behind the screen with the baby in his arms.
Sima Yi couldn't help but glance at the baby. For some reason, something seemed to be leaving him, and he felt empty.
"Wow, wow..."
As if sensing something, the baby girl suddenly burst into tears.
Zhang Hui hurriedly comforted her, "Be good, Chunhua is the best if you don't cry."

Leave the pastry shop.
Xu Shu looked at Sima Yi speechlessly and said: "You, you, you can't make a roundabout way when you talk. That manager Zhang is a very important person. The development of Shuofang's economy and trade is indispensable for her efforts. What if I offend you?"
"
Sima Yi frowned and said: "Why do you deliberately talk in a circle? Even if you are afraid of offending others, it is she who is afraid of offending me, not me who is afraid of her. I am the administrator of Shuofang appointed by Lord Wei. Do I still act based on people's faces?"
?”
Xu Shu was speechless for a moment.
Cai Heng felt that Sima Yi was right. Young men like them who came from aristocratic families were actually a bit chauvinistic. They felt that men were in charge of outside affairs and women were in charge of domestic affairs. They were somewhat contemptuous of strong businesswomen like Zhang Hui.
But Xu Shu was different. He was from a humble background and experienced many affairs, and he had an accurate grasp of the ways of the world.
If he hadn't come to the rescue just now, Zhang Hui might have already held a grudge against Sima Yi in his heart.
Don't underestimate Zhang Hui's energy. Although she is only the manager of Tangchi in name, people who know the industry know that Zhang Hui's shadow is in every industry related to Tangchi.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just say that the reason why Xiuhefang was able to develop and grow was that Zhang Hui’s role was crucial. Otherwise, just relying on the beauty of Du Liniang would not be enough to open Xiuhefang all over the country.
"Oh, forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you...huh?"
Xu Shu suddenly stopped, and a look of vigilance flashed between his brows.
When Sima Yi and Cai Heng looked back at him, fine cold sweat had already broken out on Xu Shu's forehead.
"Brother Xu?" Sima Yi looked around and said in a deep voice: "What did you see? But there are Huns assassins around?"
The three of them controlled the situation in Shuofang and offended many Huns. They often invited barbarians to attack and kill Xu Shu, especially Xu Shu. They were surrounded by dangers several times and developed a certain ability to sense danger.
Only, this time is different.
