Shen Yao ignored the guy with the yellow hair and quickly blocked her hearing. She felt nauseous just hearing his voice!
Seeing that Shen Yao didn't move, the yellow-haired guy reached out to grab her, only to find himself suddenly blocked.
He looked up and saw a very handsome young man standing between him and Shen Yao.
"Get lost, you brat, don't butt in!" the yellow-haired guy said fiercely to Mo Chen.
He wasn't stupid. This boy was so handsome and had such a good demeanor; he clearly wasn't from an ordinary family, and the yellow-haired guy couldn't afford to offend him.
The reason he had bothered Shen Yao was simply because she was a young girl, alone and without anyone accompanying her, which sparked his ill intentions.
If Shen Yao had someone with her, or if he had seen someone he knew, he wouldn't have dared to have such thoughts.
But this young girl looked unfamiliar and young, which had stirred up his wicked ideas!
"What did you do to her?" Mo Chen's normally gentle and refined face instantly turned serious, his gaze like knives shooting towards the yellow-haired guy.
The yellow-haired guy shivered under Mo Chen's gaze. "N-nothing, I, I just wanted to collect a parking fee."
Of course, the yellow-haired guy didn't dare to reveal his true intentions. This young man was clearly with the girl!
Mo Chen's previously gloomy face suddenly broke into a smile, and then he threw a punch at the yellow-haired guy's face.
The yellow-haired guy was knocked to the ground, clutching half his face, not daring to make a sound. He quickly scurried away in embarrassment.
Because Shen Yao had blocked her hearing, she hadn't heard Mo Chen's words, but her strong senses told her someone had approached from behind.
Shen Yao wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue, then stood up. When she turned around, she saw that the yellow-haired guy was gone, leaving behind someone who made her feel guilty standing there.
"Sister Yao Yao."
Mo Chen flashed a big smile at Shen Yao.
Shen Yao: ...
Inside the hot pot restaurant.
Mo Chen kept putting hot pot ingredients into Shen Yao's bowl, showing no signs of impatience. Only Shen Yao ate with a fierce look, as if she were eating Mo Chen's flesh.
She had originally planned to greet Mo Chen and leave when she saw him, but inexplicably, she ended up treating him to hot pot.
She didn't know what spell had come over her; the moment Mo Chen said he was hungry, she changed her mind and offered to treat him.
After eating another bowl of shrimp peeled by Mo Chen, she said, "You eat too. Why are you looking at me? Didn't you say you were hungry?"
Mo Chen smiled and then placed the freshly grilled meat into Shen Yao's bowl. "I'll eat after Sister Yao Yao finishes."
Mo Chen's words made Shen Yao feel inexplicably uncomfortable. What did he mean he would eat after she finished? It wasn't like she couldn't afford to order more!
There were still quite a few dishes left, but most of them were Shen Yao's favorites.
Her appetite wasn't small to begin with, and after becoming pregnant, she ate even more.
"How about you take your time eating? I'll head back first," Shen Yao said to Mo Chen, deciding it was best to leave quickly.
"Does Sister Yao Yao dislike me?" Mo Chen looked up at Shen Yao, and Shen Yao actually saw a hint of grievance in his eyes!
Damn it!
"No, no, no, how could I dislike you?" Shen Yao quickly replied. She truly couldn't bring herself to say the word "dislike" when facing Mo Chen's face.
This face was truly too captivating.
"Really?"
Mo Chen's eyes were sparkling, and Shen Yao felt almost blinded.
Sob sob sob...
So good-looking, so handsome, so adorable, I want to...
Shen Yao averted her gaze and waved her hands. "Eat up quickly, eat up quickly. I need to get back after we're done."
Hearing this, Mo Chen earnestly began to eat.
After they finished, Shen Yao went to pay the bill, and then both she and Mo Chen left the hot pot restaurant.
Shen Yao walked to her car. "Mo Chen, then I'll see you next time."
With that, she intended to get into her car and leave. However, as soon as she fastened her seatbelt, she saw Mo Chen's expression in the rearview mirror.
How to describe it? He looked inexplicably a bit down.
Shen Yao sighed deeply, then resignedly unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car.
At this moment, Shen Yao wished she could slap herself. Wake up! This handsome guy is different from the others!!!
"Didn't Sister Yao Yao want to leave? Why did you come down?"
Mo Chen's tone was full of melancholy, like a puppy that had been abandoned.
"I just wanted to ask you, did something happen?" Shen Yao asked Mo Chen.
Logically speaking, shouldn't he be in Kyoto? Wasn't he supposed to be the CEO of a major company?!
"Nothing much, my company just went bankrupt." Mo Chen said this very casually.
However, Shen Yao heard something amiss. "Your company went bankrupt?!"
How did she not know? If the Mo family's company went bankrupt, then Xiao Jun should be in the same situation. Why hadn't she heard Mo Xuan mention it?
Wait, that wasn't right. Mo Xuan had mentioned it to her in passing. He had even mocked her, saying that Xiao Jun had to rely on him for financial support now, and she had even given Mo Xuan extra pocket money herself!
!!!
Wasn't the Mo family's company supposed to be very large? How could it suddenly go bankrupt?
Shen Yao pulled out her phone and typed in the words "Mo Corporation."
A flood of news immediately popped up on Baidu, every headline screaming bankruptcy!
Shen Yao quietly put her phone away. "Ah, so that's how it is. Then why are you here?"
"Grandpa and Xiao Jun were taken in by my aunt. My aunt said I only need to give them ten thousand a month for living expenses, and they'll take good care of Grandpa and Xiao Jun. I came here because I saw a recruitment advertisement online saying the monthly salary was thirty thousand, so I came." Mo Chen said to Shen Yao with a smile.
Shen Yao was stunned. "Thirty thousand a month? Let me see the recruitment advertisement."
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen obediently took out his phone and showed Shen Yao the recruitment information he had saved.
#Jiuxiao Recruitment: Manager, Male, 20-30 years old, Salary: Base salary plus commission 30,000 to 100,000; Liquor Sales: Male, handsome, eloquent, 18-28 years old, Salary: Base salary plus commission 30,000 to 80,000; Waiter: ...#
Shen Yao looked at the words "Jiuxiao" and then at Mo Chen.
Ahem, it seemed like thirty thousand wasn't too bad...
"You can't do the job here," Shen Yao said earnestly.
"Why can't I? I believe I can be a competent manager," Mo Chen said with great confidence.
"Ahem..." Shen Yao choked on her saliva. "What kind of place is Jiuxiao? Do you know what they do?"
Mo Chen: "I know, it's an entertainment venue. If I can't get the manager position, I can also apply for liquor sales. The salary is thirty thousand, much higher than in many places in Kyoto. As long as I get hired, it will be enough for Grandpa and Xiao Jun's living expenses, and I can even save some."
Shen Yao looked at Mo Chen, who truly seemed to have considered it seriously, and was completely shocked.
Didn't Mo Chen used to be a CEO? Why did he seem so foolish? No wonder the Mo family went bankrupt.
