195 Chapter 195 Revelation

“If we were to be direct with them, would they still accept you?” Manager Liu replied in a miffed tone.

“I don’t think it’s a big deal. Besides, if they had their guard up against us, they wouldn’t have accepted me back then.

“Moreover, according to my observation, honesty and loyalty were the most important things for the husband and wife. They don’t have many other concerns.

“If we continue to hide it like this, it’ll be hard to explain if they find out about my identity down the road. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Now is the best time to come clean, and this is an opportunity we shouldn’t let pass.”

Manager Liu nodded thoughtfully and replied, “I’ll report this to General Zhou and see what he thinks.”

Afterward, he went to a small courtyard, wrote a note, and sent it out with a pigeon.

Over the next two days, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui didn’t go out alone; everything was normal.

At the same time, Manager Liu also received General Zhou’s reply, telling him to do as he saw fit.

The uncle and nephew discussed and decided to reveal their positions to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.

So, during lunch break, Sun Hongliang went to Zhou Ying in the front lobby, whispered his identity as their shadow guard, and bowed deeply. “I’ve let down your trust; please punish me.”

Zhou Ying just smiled. To be honest, when Manager Liu brought him here, she already knew that he was someone from General Zhou’s or the Third Prince’s side.

Therefore, she wasn’t too surprised to hear him reveal his identity.

But she didn’t expect him to be a shadow guard. She looked at him curiously and asked, “So what you’re saying is that you’re quite skilled?”

Sun Hongliang was stunned for a moment and then nodded. “I’m mainly trained in how to run a business as a manager. However, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to deal with a few men.”

“Wow, I really couldn’t tell from your scholarly appearance.”

“You’re not angry?”

“Why should I be angry? Isn’t it fine as long as we cooperate happily?

“Besides, you’re here to protect us.

“We’ll feel much more at ease with you here, so please take care of us in the future.” Zhou Ying replied with a smile.

“Thank you for your trust, mistress.” Sun Hongliang smiled and bowed.

“Do a good job, and I’ll give you 5% of our profits as a bonus at the end of the year.” Zhou Ying promised. She then turned around and went to the back to take a rest.

As for his identity, she couldn’t care less as long as he didn’t threaten their safety.

She would have to be more cautious in the future when removing items from her interspace. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he found something weird and reported it.

That night, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about Sun Hongliang, and he didn’t have much reaction either. From the moment they saved Zhou Huaiming, they knew they were on the Third Prince’s side.

Instead, he said, “In that case, you don’t have to worry about your business and just have to take hold of the overall situation. Also, ask him to help bring over one or two more managers.

“In this way, if he leaves or we open another branch, we will have someone to help.”

“True. It’s a waste not to use a talent delivered to our doorstep. I’ll use him appropriately.” Zhou Ying nodded in agreement.

She had to train a few more chefs as she didn’t want to waste more time in the back kitchen. Not only was it tedious, but it was also bad for her skin.

Gu Chengrui smiled and reminded her. “Try not to take things from your interspace to the restaurant. If you really are short of something, ask the workshop to increase their production.”

“I know.” Zhou Ying nodded in agreement.

“This year’s situation isn’t going to be good,” he added. “Do you think we should take advantage of the fact that the price of food hasn’t increased yet and no one is watching us? We could take some grains out of your interspace and store them in the warehouse, just in case.”
