After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 257 The Bakery

"How is it, Liu Yi? Is the dessert I made edible?" Xu Yue stared intently at Lin Liu Yi on the other end of the video, anxiously awaiting her comments.

"Of course...it's edible!"

"That's good, that's good!" Xu Yue patted her chest, finally relieved.

"You've been learning for so long, why are you still worried?" Lin Liuyi said, taking small bites of the pastries and cakes Xu Yue had made.

I must say, the taste is really good; it seems Xu Yue does have some talent.

"Then you helped me find so many videos and even asked teachers for advice. What if I don't cook it well? Wouldn't all your efforts be wasted?"

Xu Yue was under pressure. After her divorce, she didn't want to continue working, so she used all her savings to open this bakery.

To run the shop well, she learned various skills online. Lin Liuyi even gave her the bread-making techniques from their world and helped her consult teachers when she encountered problems. She was really afraid that she wouldn't do well and would let Lin Liuyi down.

"What's the waste? If you don't do it well the first time, just try again! But you did very well, you're ready to graduate!"

"Haha, I hope the customers think so too." Xu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

With Lin Liuyi's affirmation, Xu Yue opened the cake shop with full confidence.

On the first day of opening the shop, Xu Yue baked all the bread and pastries, arranged them neatly, and waited anxiously for customers to come in.

Just then, two customers walked into the store, and Xu Yue quickly went over to greet them.

"Welcome to Yuejian! We have a grand opening with discounts! Guests are welcome to sample our bread!"

One of the guests took a bite, frowned, and whispered something to his companion.

Xu Yue's heart jumped. Could it be that their first customer would be a complete failure?

However, another customer's eyes lit up, and he said, "This tastes very special, it tastes better than other places."

The customer in front of him took another bite, his expression softened, and he nodded in agreement.

Having successfully attracted two customers, Xu Yue was so happy that her face turned bright red.

Then she had no time to be happy, because a large wave of customers suddenly arrived. She didn't dare to hire any staff for the new store opening, so she had to rely on herself for everything.

After closing time that evening, Xu Yue excitedly told Lin Liuyi about what had happened that day.

Lin Liuyi joked, "See? I told you you could do it. But shouldn't you hire someone?"

"Hiring people on the first day?" Xu Yue was a little reluctant. What if, she meant, what if business didn't go well later?

"We can talk about business being bad if it's not good. You're so tired today, I think we still need a shop assistant. And looking at the foot traffic you've provided, business might not necessarily be bad in the future!"

Xu Yue thought about it and realized that it was indeed quite tiring for her to rely on herself alone.

"Okay, I'll start hiring tomorrow!"

Lin Liuyi smiled with satisfaction and encouraged him, "That's right, you can definitely make the store better and better."

To Xu Yue's surprise, the first person to apply for the job was Ren Huan.

"You? You're here for a job interview? Get out of here, I won't hire you!"

"Why? I can do the work too!" Ren Huan explained.

"You want to do the work? I'm looking for someone who genuinely loves baking. Ask yourself honestly, are you that kind of person?"

Xu Yue didn't know why Ren Huan wanted to apply for the job, but she had never seen Ren Huan cook when they were together before, so it was impossible that she wanted to do baking.

"I..."

Ren Huan stammered, unable to explain why she had come. After Xu Yue and Qi Le divorced, she left as well, but she still couldn't help but keep an eye on the two of them. When she saw that Xu Yue had actually opened her own bakery, she didn't know what she was thinking.

I joined the company when I saw they were hiring.

"You can't explain it, can you? You never really wanted to work here. I'm not hiring you. My divorce from Qi Le had my reasons, his reasons, and of course, yours too. You don't think I'm so magnanimous about someone who destroyed my family!"

"You, didn't you remind me?" Ren Huan was confused.

"I'm reminding you because I'm a moral person and don't want to see a girl like you being deceived by a scumbag, but that doesn't stop me from disliking you!"

With Xu Yue's blunt refusal, Ren Huan had no choice but to leave.

Xu Yue's bakery gradually got on track, and she was full of energy every day, no longer the resentful person she was when she got married.

Autumn rain wove a fine curtain of water on the glass window, the ticking of the oven timer mingled with the wind chimes on the eaves, and Xu Yue placed the last batch of sea salt rolls into the display case.

Under the warm yellow light, the honeycomb pattern on the surface of the croissant shimmered with an amber luster, and the air was filled with the lingering aroma of fermented butter and vanilla pods.

The shop door bell rang suddenly, and Qi Le stumbled in, his shoulders wet with rain, his tie hanging loosely on his wrinkled shirt.

He looked at Xu Yue, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Yueyue, my stomach hurts terribly."

These words, like a rusty needle, suddenly pierced through countless late nights in my memory.

Xu Yue gripped the piping bag tightly, and the almond cream swirled crookedly at the tip of the strawberry tart.

In the past, whenever Qi Le felt a little unwell, she would rummage through her medicine cabinet in the middle of the night looking for medicine. But what did Qi Le do when she was actually sick?

Xu Yue always remembered that glass of water that she refused to bring over; it was the final straw that broke their relationship.

"Don't die here. Go to the hospital by yourself." She turned the strawberry tart around so that the cream rosebuds bloomed again in perfect arcs.

The glass reflected the man's hand covering his upper abdomen; the ring mark on his ring finger was so faint it was almost invisible.

Ha, they've been divorced for a long time, haven't they?

Zhou Mingyu suddenly staggered, bracing himself against the marble countertop, causing the cinnamon sticks in the enamel jar to rattle: "Yueyue, you won't even give me a loaf of bread?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue immediately stood up, and Qi Le assumed that she had softened her heart.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Yue immediately flipped the "Sold Out Today" sign over.

"Bread? What bread? Didn't you see that big brand that's sold out today?"

Hmph, trying to run to her and play the victim to get bread? No way!

Qi Le looked at the bread rolls displayed in the counter. "Xu Yue, do you really have to do this to me?"

"Look at what you're saying. I'm being nice to this jerk! I should have slapped you across the face. Stomach ache? I'll make you feel ashamed! How dare you still come looking for me?"

"I...I...I didn't end up with Huanhuan! Yueyue, after the divorce I realized I still love you, and I regret it!"

"If you regret it, come find me. Do you think I'm a garbage collector? What does it matter to me if you're not with Ren Huan? You don't actually think you can get back together after the divorce, do you? What a pipe dream! Now, get out of here right now!"

Xu Yue directly kicked Qi Le, who had lost his composure, out of the room, telling him to stop daydreaming!
