Returning to Haicheng Tomorrow

The store manager quickly called over a few sales associates to help fetch the clothes.

In about twenty minutes, everything was brought to the checkout counter to be packed.

There were 45 items in total, including clothes, pants, and shoes, adding up to over 780,000 yuan.

'Damn, still a bit short.' Su Yang hurriedly looked at the manager and said, "Beautiful, help me get some more teenagers' clothes for Xiaowan to wear when she grows up."

"Oh, okay."

A few minutes later, three sales associates hurried over with more than a dozen autumn outfits to pack.

Counting the five pairs of shoes he had bought for Li Muhan earlier, the total came to nearly 1.1 million yuan.

[Ding. Prompt: Only three minutes left for the task. Host, please settle the bill as soon as possible to complete the task.]

Damn it, pushing me like my life depends on it! Coming!

Su Yang looked at the cashier and said, "Miss, let me pay first. How much is the total?"

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Su."

"A little faster, please."

"Okay."

A minute later, the cashier finished calculating the price. "Mr. Su, you have selected..."

"Ah, no need to list them out. Just tell me how much it is."

"Oh, okay. The total comes to the final amount."

"Good, hurry up, let's check out." Su Yang quickly paid.

Just as he transferred the money, the system's voice echoed in his mind again.

[Ding. Detected that the host has successfully spent two million. The task is completed. Reward: 30 million.]

Phew, finally done.

Hearing the notification of the completed task, Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, it's transferred. Pack all these things up and ship them back to Haicheng for me."

"To the address you currently have registered?" the manager asked.

"Yes, that's the one."

"Understood."

"Great, all set. Let's go."

"Take care, Mr. Su. We look forward to seeing you again at LV."

Su Yang waved his hand and left the store with Li Muhan and Chen Xiaowan.

The two of them were completely blown away by Su Yang's shopping style. Even when buying groceries, people didn't shop like this, right?

Of course, they simply hadn't seen it before.

In reality, many extremely wealthy people were far more extravagant when shopping than Su Yang. A casual shopping trip could easily cost seven, eight, or even tens of millions.

Su Yang turned to the two of them and smiled, "Do you want to buy anything else?"

"No, no, no, we're not buying anything else."

"Alright, these are indeed enough to wear for a while. Let's go take a walk outside and get something to eat."

As they spoke, the three took the elevator to the parking lot.

Su Yang drove the two of them toward the popular internet-famous street they had wanted to visit earlier.

In the car, Su Yang turned to Li Muhan and asked, "By the way, Muhan, how long is left on your current apartment lease?"

"Let me think. I think there's about a month left."

Su Yang nodded. "Okay, that's not too long. You have the landlord's phone number, right?"

"Yes, I do."

"Okay. Don't go back tonight. Stay at the hotel with me, and we'll head back to Haicheng tomorrow."

"Are we in that much of a hurry?"

"Not really. Do you have anything else to take care of in Lincheng?"

"Oh, right, I haven't told my boss that I'm leaving yet."

"Right, you definitely need to let them know."

"Yeah, I'm off today, so I haven't had the chance to tell my boss about leaving."

"How about this: we'll stroll over there later, and you can go into the restaurant and tell your boss. You guys probably don't need to sign any formal resignation applications or anything, right?"

"Of course not. It's just a small shop; we never even signed a contract."

"Then just give them a heads-up later and leave."

"But I've been working there for over two years, so I guess I'm considered a regular employee. The boss probably won't let me go that quickly..."

"It's just a small, private restaurant. There's no such thing as a regular or irregular employee. You don't even have a written contract, which makes you a temporary worker. You can leave whenever you want. Did they pay your insurance?"

Li Muhan shook her head. "No."

"There you go. You have nothing, no insurance, no labor contract. Just go over there later, say goodbye, and leave."

"Alright," Li Muhan nodded in agreement.

"By the way, besides the restaurant business, what else can you do?"

"I can make coffee."

"You can make coffee?"

"Mhm, I originally worked in a coffee shop for a long time."

"Really? That's quite a coincidence. I happen to have a friend in Haicheng who opened a coffee shop. After we go back tomorrow, you can work at her place for a while as a transition."

"Would... would that be convenient?"

"Why wouldn't it be? It's very convenient."

"Okay."

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. It's past two o'clock; let's go get some food first."

Soon, Su Yang drove to the city center and parked his car in the parking lot of the Guomao Shopping Mall.

Then, he led the two of them toward the nearby internet-famous street.

This street was extremely popular in Lincheng, and you could find almost any kind of food there.

However, since it was working hours, there weren't many people strolling around.

The three of them entered the street and started walking around. Xiaowan was just a child, after all, and was immediately drawn by all the delicious food, running ahead to find things she liked.

Su Yang and Li Muhan followed behind. Suddenly, both of them felt as if they had been married for a long time and were taking their daughter out to play.

However, they only kept this feeling to themselves; neither of them would say it out loud.

Looking at the local Lincheng snacks across the street, Su Yang smiled and asked, "Muhan, what do you want to eat?"

"Let me take a look first."

"Alright, why don't you recommend some good food from Lincheng? I'd like to try some too."

"Okay. Have you ever had Silk Dolls?"

"I came here once before, but I don't think I had them. I can't really remember. Do they sell them here?"

"It doesn't look like any of the stalls here have them, but there's a shop in the mall across the street."

"Oh, then we can go try them later. What else?"

"Other things include... Oh, right, there's an old lady over there selling Love Tofu. Have you ever had that?"

Su Yang had eaten this the last time he visited. He smiled, "I've had that."

"Oh, okay. I can't think of anything else right now. Let's just walk and see."

"Sure." The three of them strolled leisurely through the street, picking up a little bit of various snacks.

The street wasn't very big, so it didn't take long to walk through the whole thing.

At this point, the three of them were each holding an ice cream cone.

Considering that Xiaowan had just recovered, Li Muhan initially didn't want to let her eat it, but she agreed after Su Yang said it was fine.

The three of them walked out of the street and onto the sidewalk outside. Su Yang asked, "Do you still have room for Silk Dolls?"

Li Muhan shook her head. "I can't eat anymore for now."

"Is the restaurant where you work far from here?"

"Not too far, about two kilometers."

"Then let's walk over there now to get your matter sorted out. We can digest our food along the way. We won't eat Silk Dolls tonight; I'll treat you guys to a big feast."

"Yay!" Xiaowan cheered happily beside them.

By now, Li Muhan no longer had any opinions of her own; she would just do whatever Su Yang said.

The three of them took a stroll toward the small restaurant where she worked.

In less than thirty minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, which was called Shanyun Sister Ping's Home-style Cooking.

Since it wasn't mealtime yet, there were hardly any people in the restaurant, only a few staff members sitting inside chatting idly.

Su Yang took a glance and said, "This is the place, right?"

"Mhm."

"Alright, let's go."

Arriving at the restaurant entrance, Li Muhan suddenly felt a bit nervous. She didn't have much work experience—only three jobs in total.

This was the place she had worked at the longest. The thought of going in and saying she was quitting made her tense up for a moment.

This was typical of a workplace rookie's mindset: always considering the boss first, worrying whether they'd be able to find a replacement right away after she left.

But she didn't consider the fact that despite working here for two years, the boss hadn't given her a single raise, nor had he bought her insurance.

A seasoned veteran who had worked for many years wouldn't have such thoughts; leaving without cursing out the boss a few times would be considered polite.

Actually, a seasoned veteran wouldn't even work at a place that didn't provide insurance.

The three of them walked briskly into the shop. Seeing Li Muhan, who was supposed to be on her day off, suddenly show up, a few young waitresses immediately grinned and said, "Muhan, why are you here? Aren't you off today?"

"Eh? Who's the handsome guy next to you?"

"Oh, I get it. You brought your boyfriend to our restaurant for a meal, right?"

Looking completely embarrassed, Li Muhan stepped forward, covered the talking girl's mouth, and said, "Xiaoyan, what nonsense are you spouting? He's my... never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Hehe, right, right, I don't understand, I don't understand. What do you want to eat?"

"We're not eating."

"Not eating? Then why are you here?"

"I..." Li Muhan hesitated for a few seconds before gathering her courage and saying, "I don't want to do this job anymore. I came to tell Uncle Qian."

"What?!"
