Everyone was stunned. They were getting complimentary wine, drinks, and fruit with their meal?

As they ate, people around them crowded around and asked, "How's the taste? Is it good? If it's good, we should order some too!"

"What do you mean, 'okay' or 'not okay'? My goodness, I don't even have time to talk to you, I've never eaten such delicious food before."

"Are all seafood like this? How come it's so fresh? And how come this shrimp is so big? It's bigger than my hand."

"See these swimming crabs? They're bigger than your face, and most importantly, they're delicious! So fresh!"

You absolutely have to try this! My table only cost a little over 50 taels, it's such a great deal!

Upon hearing that it tasted delicious, everyone crowded in front of the stall, saying, "I'll have one just like his!"

"I haven't eaten rice for days. It's so tough being here. I want a serving of the same thing too."

"I'd like the same one as them. Do you also offer complimentary drinks?"

I wonder if this wine tastes good.

"Who cares if it tastes good or not, it's free anyway."

The man over there ate while saying, "This wine is amazing! Mine is Taohua wine, it has a strong Taohua flavor, it's especially delicious."

"I have plum wine here."

"Our table has osmanthus wine, but we don't know if it tastes good, or even what a beverage is."

Those people started drinking their beverages, smacking their lips as they sipped, exclaiming, "Wow! What kind of drink is this? It's so delicious! Hey buddy, can I have another pot?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "I'm sorry! This drink costs 20 coins a pot, and it's already a free gift. I can't give it away any more."

"Only twenty coins! Give me ten pots!"

"Give me ten jugs too. Do you have any other drinks?"

The waiter took out the menu and said:

"We have a wide variety of drinks, including freshly squeezed beverages and milk tea."

Everything I made today is milk tea flavored, specifically Moli milk tea.

You can smell the Moli scent; it smells amazing.

Xie Cheng'en walked over from a short distance away. Princess Jianing grabbed Xie Cheng'en and said, "Xie Cheng'en, where have you been lately? Do you know that Zhou Wanwan has been bullying me to death?!"

Xie Cheng'en curled his lip and said, "Who's bullying whom? Zhou Wanwan is only 6 years old. You can't even beat her. What good are you? Aren't you ashamed?"

Princess Jianing stomped her feet in anger:

"Xie Cheng'en, look at how well other people are selling takeout now, they're doing much better than you."

"Can't you be a little more assertive?"

Xie Cheng'en rolled his eyes and said, "What's the point of being so competitive? If you're so capable, go and compete with her! I definitely can't beat her."

That's hilarious! Xie Cheng'en had no idea how amazing Zhou Wanwan was before.

He only realized now that Zhou Wanwan was the real behind-the-scenes boss of the Beijing food delivery service.

He's been working so hard all this time, all for Zhou Wanwan.

Princess Jianing sneered:

"Xie Cheng'en, you have disappointed me greatly. I never expected that Zhou Wanwan would make you look so pathetic. You are truly useless and easily defeated."

I'm done with you! I'm going to tell my mother right now that I don't want to marry you, I want to call off the engagement!

Xie Cheng'en looked at her and said, "Who wants to be with you? Fine, break off the engagement. Who cares?"

Princess Jianing angrily retorted, "You... you're really something! Fine, you'll back down, but don't regret it!"

Xie Cheng'en said, "I absolutely do not regret it."

"Okay, let's go."

Princess Jianing turned and left with a group of noble ladies. Shangguan Wan'er said, "Something's not right! Why has Xie Cheng'en suddenly changed? His attitude towards you wasn't like this before."

Lu Lan said, "Look at Xie Cheng'en, he's bowing and scraping to Zhou Wanwan. He probably listens to Zhou Wanwan now."

Zhou Wanwan's cousin, Zhou Lan, said:

"Zhou Wanwan must have used some tricks this time."

Otherwise, Xie Cheng'en wouldn't have acted this way. My cousin is really something!

Zhou Min chimed in from the other side, "Exactly, exactly! I don't know why, but so many men fall at her feet. She's such a vixen."

Zhou Lan was the second daughter of Zhou Fuyu and Qian Huihui. Since the Zhou Family gained the favor of the Empress Dowager, her status also rose accordingly.

Now she's starting to show signs of being a young lady from a wealthy family. Zhou Min is the daughter of Zhou Fu'an and Zhang Guilan, and she's now Zhou Lan's little follower.

Princess Jianing pursed her lips and said:

"He must have been bewitched by Zhou Wanwan. What's so great about Zhou Wanwan?"

She's so young, but she's incredibly capable.

Zhou Lan nodded and said:

"She's not only capable, she's incredibly rich!"

"I don't even know how much money I could make in a year just from food delivery, and there are also many restaurants and estates."

Princess Jianing glanced at her sideways and said, "Didn't they say she lost all her restaurants and estates?"

Zhou Lan smiled lightly, pursing her lips:

She really doesn't own any restaurants or estates anymore.

But if you ask around, you'll find that her family members and subordinates are all incredibly wealthy; those are all her businesses.

Shangguan Wan'er said, "This Zhou Wanwan is incredibly shrewd; I wonder how much she owns."

Zhou Lan said softly:

Even we don't know, but there must be at least twenty sets of shops of all sizes in the capital!

This is still a conservative estimate.

Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed in surprise, "So many!"

Princess Jianing said, "How is this possible? More than twenty sets?"

Zhou Min, who was standing next to him, said:

Have you noticed the state of the border these days?

Whether it's the shops, restaurants, or other establishments here, they all have a familiar feel to them; they all come from the capital.

I now reasonably suspect that all those shops in Beijing belong to Zhou Wanwan.

And those money shops, brothels, casinos, and security escort agencies—they're all too familiar.

Shangguan Wan'er said in horror, "You mean, all the industries in the border region belong to Zhou Wanwan? That can't be right!"

Zhou Min smiled faintly and said:

"I think it's highly likely, and do you know there's a money exchange called Treasure-Gathering Bank on the border?"

As far as I know, that belongs to Zhou Wanwan.

Everyone looked at Zhou Min, Shangguan Wan'er asked, "How did you know?"

Zhou Min smiled faintly and said:

"I have been observing Zhou Wanwan and the businesses under her name."

Everyone thinks Zhou Wanwan is just a bandit leader, but I don't think so.

Do you know Dongshan Prefecture? That's Zhou Wanwan's territory.

You should know what the situation is like in Dongshan Prefecture now.

Previously, Dongshan Prefecture was extremely poor, and the disaster victims were displaced and starving.

But now the people of Dongshan Prefecture live in peace and prosperity, with plenty of food and clothing.

The rice from Dongshan Prefecture is now Mingyang.

I think it's all because of Zhou Wanwan, my grandma said..."

Everyone looked at Zhou Min, waiting for her to continue.

Zhou Min coughed and said:

"My grandma said that many people would have died in Dongshan Prefecture."

Moreover, Dongshan Prefecture wouldn't be what it is now; many things have changed because of Zhou Wanwan."
