Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Upon hearing this, the three nodded in unison, indicating that they understood the concept.

Yorozuya is a profession that emerged in Japan during the Edo period. It also existed in Song Dynasty China, though it was called "bangxian" (帮闲). These people accepted all sorts of commissions, ranging from small tasks like running errands and cleaning to intelligence gathering and personal protection.

This can be understood as "I'll do anything as long as you pay me".

"Continue," Shen Zhixiao said, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, his tone calm and steady.

Seeing that the three women understood, Xia Ye didn't bother to keep them in suspense or pique their interest. She jumped up from her chair, circled the conference table with small steps, and continued:

"Since we're still unsure what kind of job would be most suitable for Lin Shi, why not just give him some start-up capital, an office, and a few subordinates, and let him figure it out on his own?"

"When there's nothing going on yet, let him open a general store so he can make a living, isn't that enough?"

Su Ningshuang frowned slightly, about to speak in rebuttal. This method contradicted her idea of ​​helping Lin Shi make steady progress. If Lin Shi used the excuse of the Yorozuya to completely give up, how could she get him moving again?

Seeing Su Ningshuang's somewhat resistant expression, Xia Ye quickly walked behind her and gently placed his hands on her shoulders.

With a soft voice, like a siren from the deep sea, she constantly bewitches people's hearts:

"This way, not only can Lin Shi find his favorite lifestyle, but it will also make it easier for us to get in touch."

"Think about it, everyone has their little troubles now and then. All we have to do is give Lin Shi a call. Given his goodwill towards us, do you think he'll refuse?"

After saying that, she let go of his hand and quickly walked to Shen Zhixiao's side. She didn't dare place her small hands on him, only blinking her big eyes. She continued:

"Think about it. When you've had a long, tiring day and want to eat but are all alone, all you need to do is make a simple phone call and pay a tiny amount of money to have Lin Shi by your side."

"Whether it's for emotional reasons or financial ones, you can have Lin Shi in a completely private moment."

As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand and made a circle, her fingertips gently drawing a circle, as if she wanted to firmly enclose "Lin Shi in her private time" within it.

"You all need to think about it carefully."

"Candlelight, music, two people..."

Based on the vague fragments of the future in her mind, Natsuno vividly described the details of her interactions with Lin Shi. She imagined what kind of gentle actions Lin Shi might take.

Because he possessed real memories, his descriptions captivated the three of them.

Natsuno observed the three people's behavior. He moved quietly and carefully returned to his seat, secretly overjoyed.

Say yes, say yes quickly.

After agreeing, you all had to work hard and wait to give Lin Shihua. All I could do was idly spend my days trying to cultivate a relationship with Lin Shihua.

It's alright, I'm very generous.

Once you've made plans with Lin Shi, I won't bother you. You can just leave all the rest of your time to me, hahaha.

In this ambiguous yet hopeful atmosphere, Li Wei suddenly spoke, her voice cold and clear, instantly shattering the three's illusions:

"Miss, we can ask Lin Shi to come out for dinner without spending any money."

After all, Lin Shi is still Su Ningshuang's employee. Asking him to come out for a meal and giving him some overtime pay would be enough. Why bother setting up a separate "Everything-Do-It-All" shop and then assigning him tasks?

Su Ningshuang instantly snapped out of her reverie about the candlelight dinner with Lin Shi and realized what was happening.

Looking at Natsuno, he said:

"Yes, I can get Lin Shi to have dinner with me right now. Why would I agree to your request?"

Xia Ye was caught off guard when he saw Su Ning Shuang suddenly become shrewd again.

"This, that."

She hadn't expected Li Wei to suddenly undermine her, and for a moment she couldn't find a reason to refute her, so she could only stammer in defense:

"This is different! Can delegating and ordering employees be the same thing?"

But after much discussion, they couldn't come up with anything new. They could only wear a pained expression and slump onto the conference table.

Ugh, Li Wei, I hate you, waaaaaah!

Shen Zhixiao and Liu Ruyan also frowned and lowered their heads in deep thought. What they lacked most right now was a legitimate excuse to approach Lin Shi, and Xia Ye's suggestion of the "Everything Shop" could perfectly solve this problem.

However, how to persuade Su Ningshuang has clearly become a new problem.

Because Su Ningshuang, as the boss, could ask Lin Shi to do anything that the Yorozuya could do.

Seeing the three men looking worried, Li Wei knew it was time for her to break the deadlock.

After all, the primary purpose of this meeting is reconciliation.

Although the master and mistress were not afraid to go to war with Shen Zhixiao for Su Ningshuang's happiness.

But let's not even talk about whether it's best to avoid fighting if possible. Furthermore, two unstable elements have now emerged: Xia Ye and Liu Ruyan.

The Su family cannot stand against the three families. They must know when to stop.

"We can agree to Yorozuya's proposal. But there's one condition. No matter when, no matter what the request."

"When my young lady makes a request, it must be given top priority."

"I don't know if you can accept this."

After hearing this, the three looked at each other, as if discussing whether it was feasible.

Liu Ruyan: "Is it feasible?"

Shen Zhixiao: "That's feasible."

Natsuno: "There's nothing we can do if it's not feasible. Do you have any other ideas?"

Natsuno didn't care about the request. After all, she hadn't intended to use a commission to improve his favorability in the first place.

Liu Ruyan and Shen Zhixiao exchanged another glance.

Then they said in unison:

"agree."

Upon hearing this, Su Ningshuang glanced gratefully at her chief secretary, Li Wei, behind her.

My inner voice screamed: Sister Li, you're amazing!!! I'll give you a raise when we get back. Do you think doubling it or doubling it would feel better?

After reaching a consensus, Shen Zhixiao spoke first, giving the order to the door: "Come in."

He called all the secretaries outside the door in.

They began discussing the allocation of manpower and funds, as well as the necessary land and renovation issues.

On these purely business matters, the secretaries finally put in their full effort.

All the tasks were arranged within half an hour.

Shen Zhixiao has a vacant space in a public office building in the city center that is ready to be used at any time.

She was in charge of the venue renovation, allocated a small number of staff, and specially arranged for her "subordinates" to serve as Lin Shi's personal secretary to assist in handling the daily affairs of the Odd Jobs Shop.

As Lin Shi's current boss, Su Ningshuang is responsible for providing most of the manpower and a small portion of the funds for the daily maintenance of the Yorozuya.

Liu Ruyan provided most of the start-up capital and a small number of assistants, while also taking care of the publicity work for the Yorozuya, ensuring that it would have a certain degree of brand awareness as soon as it opened.

Xia Ye's words: Although she is the second young lady of the Xia family, she has been having fun all these years and hasn't accumulated any wealth. She also has no intention of inheriting the family business.

It can only be said to provide a spiritual blessing.

Lin Shi's Everything Shop was officially established without Lin Shi knowing anything about the situation.

The transaction was completed, and everyone left.

Shen Zhixiao remained seated, his gaze fixed on his secretary, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

"Mr. Shen, what's the matter?"

The secretary spoke with some doubt. She still couldn't figure out what Shen Zhixiao was trying to do.

Shen Zhixiao sighed helplessly:

"Are you planning to make me rely entirely on the Yorozuya to contact Lin Shi?"

"I'm rich and powerful, aren't you going to ask someone for help?"

Then, looking out the window, he continued thoughtfully:

"Even if I don't look for them, they will."
