86: Sister, you've come to the right person!

Zhao Rubing sized Ye Tian up suspiciously again, sounding a bit skeptical.

"Really, I can not only earn money now, but I'm also starting a business!"

Ye Tian lifted his head with a bit of pride.

Seeing Ye Tian's expression, Zhao Rubing's heart finally relaxed a little.

During those years of poverty alleviation in the countryside, she knew very well what kind of lives people in the mountains led.

Let alone university, even middle school and high school were a luxury for them.

She hadn't thought much of it at the time and only left a bit of money; she really didn't know how he had persevered through these university years.

Looking at Ye Tian with some heartache, Zhao Rubing took the menu from the side.

"Xiao Tian, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Sister will treat you to a good meal. Just say what you want to eat."

Ye Tian was stunned and quickly waved his hands.

"Sister Bing, I can't let you treat me. Today, I'm treating you!"

"How can that be? You're still just a student and have to earn your own tuition. How much money could you have? Don't be polite with me; a meal really doesn't matter to me."

Zhao Rubing smiled.

Ye Tian also had a bitter smile on his face.

"Sister, you helped me out of the mountains and gave me a new life. Wasn't it to see me succeed and live a good life?"

"Yes, but you're still a student..."

"What's wrong with being a student? Can't a student earn money and treat his benefactor to a meal? Besides, I was planning to treat someone to a meal today anyway. Would you like to join us, Sister?"

"You're treating?"

Zhao Rubing was a bit stunned.

"Haha, Big Girls, I didn't expect you and Xiao Tian to have this connection. It's truly a case of family not recognizing family. In my opinion, don't overthink it; let this kid treat you to a good meal. Otherwise, he'll never feel at ease."

Wang Shufen, who had been hiding behind the counter watching the drama, finally couldn't help but step forward and speak up when she saw the two of them hesitating.

"And you are?"

Zhao Rubing looked at Wang Shufen in confusion, then looked at Ye Tian.

"Sister Bing, let me introduce you. This is also my sister. Like you, Sister Wang is a benefactor in my life. It's thanks to her that I've been able to continue my university studies smoothly."

"And this is my good brother from my dorm, Zhang Liang."

Since he was making introductions, Ye Tian simply called Zhang Liang over as well.

The latter had completely lost his previous bluster.

Facing an absolute goddess like Zhao Rubing, he seemed to have trouble speaking clearly.

He shyly whispered, "Sister."

Looking at the people around Ye Tian, Zhao Rubing also let out a long sigh of relief.

She could tell that the sister and brother Ye Tian introduced were the truly close kind.

Therefore, the confidence on Ye Tian's face just now wasn't faked.

Thinking of this, Zhao Rubing showed a gratified smile.

"Alright, then Sister will give you, this Little Monkey, a good fleecing today."

Saying that, she reached for the menu again.

But before she could finish the movement...

...she was stopped by Wang Shufen: "Girls, now that you're in my shop, there's no need for you to order. The truly good dishes must be the private specialties cooked personally by my man. Just wait to eat."

After saying that, Wang Shufen went straight to the lounge and dragged up Li Ming, who was still resting and recharging.

Before long, the clucking of a rooster came from the kitchen.

Zhang Liang glanced at Ye Tian and also made an excuse to watch the chicken being slaughtered, taking the initiative to leave so the two siblings could catch up properly.

Sitting down again, Zhao Rubing had a smile on her face.

"Xiao Tian, are you very familiar with the proprietress here?"

"Yes, I've been working part-time here for the past two years. Sister Wang has been very good to me. Whenever I didn't have enough for tuition, they would make up the difference."

"Then you must repay them well in the future. Actually, this was also my oversight. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come directly to me."

"Mhm, thank you, Sister Bing! But Sister, why did you come to Copper City too?"

"I haven't been here long either, only about half a year; it was a job transfer. Going to your place back then was also for work. Later, I left in a hurry, so I didn't arrange your subsequent schooling properly."

"Sister, aren't I doing well now? Don't worry about it. If I were always curled up under your protection, when would I ever grow up? On the contrary, now it should be me asking you if there's anything you need help with."

Ye Tian chuckled.

"You, having that thought is enough. As for my affairs, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to help."

"If you don't say anything, how do you know if I can help or not?"

Zhao Rubing let out a laugh.

"Sister really isn't joking with you. If you insist on helping, why don't you tell me about this Changle Restaurant? I saw on TV earlier that this place was the only shop to pass the major inspection, so I was curious to see if it's really as clean as the news says."

Ye Tian was amused.

"Haha, Sister Bing, you've asked the right person. I don't know about other things, but as for the hygiene of our restaurant, I really know it best."

Zhao Rubing raised her beautiful eyes.

"What, did you participate in the cleaning too?"

"Sister, what do you mean by 'participate'? I was in full charge of it, okay?"

Zhao Rubing was stunned for a moment, then gave a gratified smile.

"I couldn't tell, my brother is actually quite capable. Out of so many shops, only yours qualified. Was it luck or something else?"

Zhao Rubing asked curiously.

Ye Tian chuckled: "It could be considered a bit of luck. Because we got the notice a day early, the cleaning that night was a bit more thorough. However, we haven't slacked off in the following days; I clean the restaurant thoroughly every day."

"Good, Sister really didn't misjudge you. Xiao Tian, you are a responsible person."

Listening to Ye Tian's words, Zhao Rubing couldn't help but smile and nod. She continued to ask.

"So, do you have the waiters do the cleaning here?"

"It used to be, but now, it's considered separated. Although I'm still the one in charge of cleaning, it's in the name of my company."

"Company?"

Zhao Rubing said, stunned.

"Yes, I was doing housekeeping as a part-time job before, so that sister and brother-in-law just now thought of giving me a hand. They let me set up a Housekeeping Company myself, using the company's name to clean the restaurant. It sounds more high-end."

Zhao Rubing's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. But you little fellow, can you handle this piece of cake?"

"Whether I can handle it or not, I have to. My slogan is: as long as it doesn't kill me, work until I drop. What is physical strength worth? Is it more important than money?"

"Hehe, Xiao Tian, that's really good. To come out of the mountains and still have such an optimistic attitude, Sister is happy for you."

"Actually, I could be even happier, and that would be if I could help you solve some difficulties, just like how Sister Bing helped me before."

"You Little Monkey, here you go again. Sister really doesn't have anything she needs help with. As long as you live your life well, Sister will be very happy."

"Then, alright. But in the future, Sister Bing, you can't just leave without a word."

"Yes, what era is this? Even if Sister leaves, I'd have to tell you."

"That's not enough. You have to leave me your phone number and WeChat."

"Alright, alright, I'll give you everything!"
