Li Ze walked to the entrance of the Prince Xuan Restaurant, pushed open the transparent glass door, and went inside.

The shop is doing very well right now, it's lunchtime.

The hall was full of guests, and the waiters were carrying plates and moving back and forth between several tables, working up a sweat.

Zhang Ruoran was wearing a very neat business suit today.

She was standing next to the front desk, arranging seats for several guests who had just entered.

Seeing how busy Zhang Ruoran was, Li Ze felt sorry for her and didn't want to disturb her work.

He turned around, walked to an empty seat in the corner of the hall, and slowly sat down.

He placed the string of beads he always carried on the table and waited quietly.

Li Ze had barely sat down when the waiter, Xiao Li, brought over a glass of warm water.

When Xiao Li saw that the person sitting there was Li Ze, he immediately put on a very polite and respectful smile.

Xiao Li placed the water glass in front of Li Ze and said softly:

"Boss, you're here. Manager Zhang is busy queuing up customers right now. Should I go over and call her for you?"

Li Ze waved his hand, picked up his water glass, took a sip, and said in a relaxed tone:

"No rush, go and do your work. Just go over and tell her I'm sitting here. Tell her to finish what she's doing and come back to me when she's done."

Xiao Li nodded and replied:

"Okay, boss, I'll go tell Manager Zhang right away."

After saying that, Xiao Li turned around and ran back to the front desk.

Li Ze sat in his seat and waited for about ten minutes.

Zhang Ruoran finally finished arranging for all the guests at the door.

She walked over and sat down in the chair opposite Li Ze.

As soon as Zhang Ruoran sat down, she looked at Li Ze with a somewhat unhappy expression.

She was the first to speak:

"Li Ze, I feel that Bai Qianyue is getting bolder and bolder."

"Yesterday she just asked you to go to her newly opened shop for coffee or something."

"As a result, she took the initiative to come to your flower shop to find you first thing this morning."

Zhang Ruoran's voice grew louder and louder as she spoke:

"I saw it all. She even prepared morning tea and breakfast for you, and came right up to you, offering you some. What exactly is she trying to do?"

When Li Ze heard Zhang Ruoran say this, he understood perfectly that Ruoran was jealous and worried.

Li Ze looked at Zhang Ruoran and told her in a very serious tone:

"If that's the case, it's okay. You don't need to worry about her at all."

"I've already made it very clear to her. If she comes looking for me again, I will immediately have Lao Yi take some people to stop her outside the flower shop and absolutely not let her step into the shop."

"Besides, even if she wanted to find me now, she wouldn't have the chance to see me."

Zhang Ruoran looked at Li Ze with some surprise upon hearing this.

Li Ze continued to explain:

"I'm about to take my private jet to Jincheng to handle some business. So if I'm not in Seoul, she'll have even less chance of seeing me."

Zhang Ruoran looked surprised when she heard Li Ze say he was going to Jincheng.

She asked:

"What are you doing in Jincheng? Is there something important there? You've only been back for a few days."

Li Ze put down the water glass in his hand, and his expression became very serious.

He placed his hand on the table and explained what had just happened:

"Just now, you like urban novels? Come on over!"

"Regarding my nephew Li Qiang, he's run into big trouble at the construction site in Jincheng."

Upon hearing that Li Qiang was in trouble, Zhang Ruoran immediately sat up straight and listened attentively.

Li Ze told Zhang Ruoran exactly what Li Guoqing had said on the phone.

"Li Qiang went to the construction site boss to ask for the back wages he was owed, but the boss refused to pay him."

"Li Qiang got into a conflict with the boss and was seriously injured by the security guards the boss called. He is currently in the intensive care unit of the hospital."

After hearing this, Zhang Ruoran's expression became very serious.

She is a very strong and independent person. She used to work as an assembly line worker and a street vendor, and she has endured a lot of hardship.

Therefore, she can very well understand the hardships of those working at the bottom of society.

Zhang Ruoran was furious. She spoke first, severely condemning the construction site boss who owed her wages:

"That boss is absolutely awful! He doesn't pay the workers what he owes them, and he even dared to have the security guards beat them up! Is there no justice in this world?!"

Zhang Ruoran sighed and said:

"It's really tough being a worker these days, especially for those who work on construction sites."

"I usually work overtime and do the heaviest physical labor, I'm exhausted every day."

"Their wages will be delayed until the end of the year before they are all settled."

"But that's exactly what happened. Those unscrupulous construction site bosses still refused to pay, always finding various excuses to delay payment."

She felt very upset and continued:

"Sigh, Li Qiang has had a tough time too."

"He's been working hard away from home for so long, saving every penny, and he can't even bring himself to buy a new piece of clothing."

"He just wants to save more money so he can go back to his hometown, find a wife, and live a peaceful life."

"In the end, I didn't get the money, but the boss had people beat me up, and I ended up in the intensive care unit."

Zhang Ruoran looked into Li Ze's eyes and earnestly instructed him:

"Li Ze, you must help him a lot when you go to Jincheng this time."

"Now that you have the ability, you absolutely cannot let him suffer injustice for nothing. You must handle this matter properly."

Li Ze was deeply moved when he heard what Zhang Ruoran said.

He reached out and, first across the table, firmly grasped Zhang Ruoran's hand.

Li Ze looked at Zhang Ruoran and said with great certainty:

"Honey, don't worry. Qiangzi is my own nephew, I'll naturally handle this matter well."

"I will make that boss pay the most painful price."

At the same time, Li Ze said with great gratitude:

"I also want to thank you properly, Ruoran. So many years have passed, and you still remember the people of my Li family and care about them so much."

Zhang Ruoran didn't pull her hand away from Li Ze's grasp.

She said very naturally:

"Of course I remember. When we got married, we had nothing."

"Our older brothers have helped us a lot. We shouldn't forget our roots. If they're in trouble, we should definitely help them if we can."

Then, Zhang Ruoran's expression changed slightly.

She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to their table.

Then, Zhang Ruoran looked at Li Ze and said:

"Before you leave for Jincheng, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
