Blurb:
At twenty-three, Liao Xiaoyu married Qin Sheng in grand style. Pei Jiming attended the wedding and gave them a generous cash gift.
At twenty-five, Liao Xiaoyu had a baby. Pei Jiming went to visit and gave the child a generous gift.
At twenty-nine, Liao Xiaoyu caught Qin Sheng cheating and angrily divorced him. She lost the custody battle for their child.
After the divorce, Liao Xiaoyu had nothing: no house, no car, no money, no job, and no child. Her mother brought her home. When Pei Jiming came to see her, he said, "Don't panic. I'm here."
Liao Xiaoyu snapped, "Who do you think you are?"
Pei Jiming went outside for a cigarette. When he came back, he asked, "Want to come work at my shop? I'll pay you, cover your social insurance, and provide meals."
Liao Xiaoyu sobbed, "Wash dishes and wipe tables? I hate washing dishes!"
Pei Jiming said, "You can work the register."
Her mother advised her, "Working the register is fine. It's almost like being the boss's wife."
With nowhere else to turn, Liao Xiaoyu wiped away her tears and agreed.
From then on, Pei Jiming's little noodle shop had a beautiful new cashier.
The childhood friend and the newcomer battle it out for three hundred rounds, and the childhood friend stages a comeback!
