After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 767 - 323: Have a girlfriend? Don’t mind one more, right? (6k for subscription!)_2

A robber went on a public bus to rob, and told them that the first person to pay would only need to pay one dollar, the second ten dollars, and the third a hundred, and so on, with the price escalating like that, the first people to pay would even feel smug, thinking they had made a deal.

In reality, the moment they handed over the money, they were already trapped.

Xu Musen organized his thoughts and passed down his ideas; several people were so motivated they immediately went to execute them.

Zhao Lianmai made a glass of lemon water for Xu Musen to moisten his throat.

"When there are more and more franchises in the future, Manager Zhao's responsibilities will grow too, work hard and I'll give you another raise later," he said, taking a sip of the lemon water and smiling at Zhao Lianmai.

Zhao Lianmai really was an excellent employee, with strong personal abilities and most importantly, obedient... Though she wasn't particularly enthusiastic towards the boss, there really was nothing else to criticize.

"Okay, I have no objections," she replied in her usual indifferent tone.

Xu Musen was almost amused to laughter, "I'm saying, Xiao Mai, other people's employees are begging their bosses for a raise, how come when I take the initiative to give you one, it still seems like it needs your approval?"

While preparing the franchise paperwork, Zhao Lianmai responded without looking up, "Either way it's your call whether you raise my salary or not, would it matter if I said I didn't want it?"

WC… Well, that really was the truth.

Xu Musen found himself speechless for a moment, "I'm saying you should at least act a bit happier, otherwise it makes me, the boss, look bad, okay?"

Zhao Lianmai looked up at Xu Musen, "So are you going to raise my salary or not?"

"...Yes, yes, many say I'm a straight man, but I think you're the real straight woman. You're just afraid one day I'll get upset and kick you out," he said, laughing helplessly.

Zhao Lianmai looked at him, lightly tidied the hair beside her ear, and her delicate cheeks finally showed a hint of a smile.

"You wouldn't do that, you're a good person, and a good boss," she said.

Xu Musen was touched, "Xiao Mai, if you praised people more often like this, who knows, I might give you a raise in my good spirits!"

But Zhao Lianmai returned to her usual cool demeanor, "No need, if it's not earned from my work, I don't want it."

Strong in principle, Xu Musen chuckled, actually enjoying the company of such a person, simple and pure.

"By the way, isn't Boss Zhu in the shop today?"

Xu Musen then realized that Zhu Yulan seemed to have been absent from the shop all day.

"She said she had to go out and take care of some business."

Xu Musen nodded, it was just as well since it was quite busy today. It was nearly mid-June, schools were preparing for summer break, and An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue's birthdays were coming up one after another.

He had been thinking about settling all matters promptly, so he could take them out for a good trip during the summer holiday.

He got into his car, ready to check out the office building in the city center that had been renovated.

The number of franchises and directly-operated stores now amounted to about twenty or thirty stores.

Even with tight management, there were bound to be various problems every day, and if the company wanted to grow, it could no longer rely on the campus model, so Xu Musen had already recruited a number of customer service and formal employees.

The company was now able to operate very stably.

...

At this moment, inside a coffee shop in the city center.

Sitting opposite Zhu Yulan was her long-unseen second sister, Zhu Xianglan.

In previous encounters, both sisters seemed to be competing with each other, they weren't enemies, but it was hard for them to sit down comfortably and have tea together.

But after the recent events, Zhu Yulan was increasingly unable to understand her second sister.

"Hello, what would the two of you like to order?"

The waiter approached and inquired.

"I'll have a cup of black tea, get her an Americano, one-third milk, half a sugar cube, and make sure the coffee beans are Blue Mountain," Zhu Xianglan ordered with a smile before Zhu Yulan could even speak.

Zhu Yulan pursed her lips; her coffee habits were indeed quite peculiar, and unless one deliberately remembered them, it was impossible to be so familiar with them.

The sisters hadn't spoken a word to each other.

Zhu Xianglan wasn't in a rush, instead she kept watching her younger sister, her eyes filled with a complex mix of pride and emotion, feelings perhaps only she herself could understand.

The black tea and coffee were served.

Only then did Zhu Yulan finally take the initiative to speak, "Why have you started drinking tea?"

Zhu Xianglan seemed to be waiting for her younger sister to initiate conversation, but was also somewhat surprised. She smiled, lifting her cup, "I thought your first words would be to question why I sought you out."

Zhu Xianglan's smile was joyful, "Getting older, if I drink coffee I can't sleep at night."

Zhu Yulan looked up at her sister; Zhu Xianglan was only thirty-something, living a life of luxury every day, so age shouldn't be an issue, yet one could indeed sense a hint of weariness in her.

"How have you been lately?"

"Fine…"

"Fine, but you're still not happy inside, are you?"

Zhu Xianglan's smile was gentle, "You've been feeling guilty about him because of what happened last time, haven't you?"

Zhu Yulan's grip on her coffee cup trembled slightly, "If it wasn't for me, those things should not have happened to him..."

"I never expected that Mr. Huang would go so far. A lot of it was orchestrated by me, step by step; if we were to really investigate the responsibility for this matter, I'd be the villain."

Zhu Xianglan spoke calmly, almost as if a hidden boss suddenly popped up to unveil her identity.

Zhu Yulan just looked at her sister, unexpectedly not angry. After drinking some coffee, she slowly began, "Second sister, by saying these things, are you trying to make me hate you, so I can forgive myself and find a reasonable excuse to be at peace?"
