The manager of the shop stared at the mess scattered on the ground and could not help but whisper: âCEO Mo, all of our cake bases and half-finished products have been brought out. After Miss Yiyi smashed them, we will have to repurchase a lot of ingredients. This... why donât we stop here...â
Mo Jingshen glanced at him coldly: âDid you think that you would be able to keep this shop running after this?â
The managerâs expression stiffened; the employees also turned pale instantly.
It seemed like Ji Nuan was truly Mo Jingshenâs wife. As a woman herself, Yiyi naturally understood that Mo Jingshen was standing up for Ji Nuan. Right now, there was no choice but to accept the consequences. However, she was more concerned that her husbandâs job on the island would be affected.
She stared at Mo Jingshen with reddened eyes. However, at this moment, Mo Jingshen was not paying them any attention. He had already picked up his phone.
âInvestigate the background of Royal Bakery located on Wonderful Life Street, and find the legal person and owner behind this shop. Within twenty-four hours, I want this shop to completely disappear. At the same time, report the shopâs owner and manager to the Administration of Commerce and Industry for investigation. Also, cease all of the Chinese tourism alliance projects with Argentina. Thereâs no need to follow-up further.â
When Yiyi heard Mo Jingshenâs words, she appeared as though she had been dropped into a bucket of ice. Her husband frowned harshly and glanced at her in resentment.
Her husband was the eldest son of a family that was deeply involved in Argentinaâs government affairs, and the project on Argentinaâs scenic area was a project several government officials had specially requested for from Shine Group. China was a country that loved tourism, and the opportunity to work with Chinaâs largest enterprise was extremely sought for. The island had become very popular in the last two years, and Argentinaâs foundation in tourism was just about to be built. Right now, they had not only affected his job on this island, and cost him several tens of millions. If Shine Group were to terminate their cooperation, it would impact Argentinaâs entire tourism industry. They would have to take on the responsibility for an extremely significant error, and it was likely they would never be able to lift their heads again.
Yiyi understood the consequences they would soon face and instantly felt as though the sky was collapsing.
Even after Mo Jingshen hung up the call, Yiyi was still in a daze.
Mo Jingshen gave her a cold and mild glance: âAdditionally, all of the assets under your names will be frozen within five minutes. The two of you have acted as the owners of this island for far too long. There is a need to do a proper investigation on the movement of funds in and out of this island. As for everything that happened in this shop; letâs take it as additional debts for the both of you to take on.â
He then turned to the frightened employees by the side: âThose who donât wish to be implicated, immediately calculate the bill for these cakes clearly and send it to her hands. Make sure she settles her debt within twenty-four hours. Otherwise, Shine Group has the right to close down your shop and send you to the Administration of Commerce and Industry for investigation. Your names will also be given to the Argentinaâs Consumer Report Center.â
The employees looked as though they had been forced to swallow an egg.
Yiyi was full of anger, but she was completely rendered speechless.
Ji Nuan tugged on Mo Jingshenâs shirt, staring at him with imploring eyes.
Mo Jingshen understood that she did not wish to stay here further. After settling the situation, he did not say more and held her hand to bring her to leave.
At the entrance, after the people crowding outside learned of Mo Jingshenâs true identity, no one dared to block his way. Everyone was self-aware and opened up a path for them to leave.
Mo Jingshen brought Ji Nuan to the milk tea shop across the street. Ji Nuan finally noticed a cup of milk tea and cup of coffee on the round table next to the window.
Earlier, he had come here to buy her a cup of milk tea. Who would have thought that when he turned around, she would have disappeared. He must have come to look for her.
Ji Nuan was brought over to sit down. She lifted the cup and took a sip; it was very sweet. Her complex emotions were immediately soothed. She raised her eyes to look at him: âShenshen, earlier, did I cause trouble for you?â
The man lifted one corner of his lips, answering warmly: âNo. Itâs just that some people have the habit of not knowing their own limits and are looking for death.â
Ji Nuan stared at him; she only understood half of his words. She felt that the incident earlier seemed to have no impact on them. She turned to look out of the window. From where they sat, they were able to look into the earlier bakery perfectly.
Yiyi and her husband seemed to be arguing. The Argentinian man who had been afraid of speaking earlier now gave Yiyi a harsh slap. He then stomped out of the shop in anger.
The employees clung onto the Yiyi, demanding for money, while the crowd outside pointed fingers at her and criticized her. She appeared to be an extremely sorry sight.
Ji Nuan drank her milk tea as she watched the situation unfold outside.
âAre you craving cakes?â Mo Jingshen asked.
She nibbled on the straw while shaking her head: âNot anymore. Letâs talk about it after a few days. The smell of fresh cream earlier was really too much; I feel so nauseous. Right now, I donât wish to have cake at all.â
The man chuckled softly: âItâll be your birthday in two days. I originally planned on bringing you to a pastry shop to bake a cake together. Since youâre so disgusted by cakes right now, letâs forget about it.â
Ji Nuan immediately lifted her head. Her eyes were filled with excitement: âAre we baking a cake together? I want to do it! But Iâve never made a cake before! I donât know how!â
The man lifted one corner of his lips. âDidnât you just say itâs disgusting?â
âThatâs because the smell of cakes in that shop was too strong. Iâll be fine in two days.â Ji Nuan reached out to hold his fingers pleadingly. âShenshen, I want to bake a cake... I want to bake a cake... I want to bake a cake...â
As she spoke, she even placed her chin onto the surface of the table, staring up at him with big, round, pleading eyes: âI want to bake a cake...â
Mo Jingshen had never seen Ji Nuan act like a spoiled child so openly and without fear. Typically, when the woman was conscious, she was unbelievably prideful and bad tempered.
He felt as though his heart was melting from her gaze. The man chuckled softly. âIâll bring you to make one on your birthday.â
Ji Nuan sat up in excitement. She could not conceal her anticipation as she drank her milk tea.
The mood in the bakery right now was the complete opposite; Yiyi did not manage to stand firm on the ground covered in cake and fresh cream; her feet slipped against the floor and she fell into the pile of cake. When she staggered up, the employees clung onto her incessantly as her accounts were frozen and it was impossible for her to settle the payment for the cakes.
He was able to make a shop disappear in such a short amount of time, and cause the people who bullied her to become so miserable. Although Ji Nuan could not fully understand it, she still felt thatâ
Her familyâs Shenshen was really amazing!
