Transmigration Of An Assassin

New Employee And The Mysterious Man

Everybody started looking at Tang Shushui strangely after seeing the boy cry after eating the noodles that he made and those who were already jealous of his successful business didn't miss the chance to bring him down by whispering malicious things but seeing how Tang Shushui was calm and was worried for the boy most of his customers calmed down and stayed.

"Are you ok sweetie?" Asked Tang Shushui completely worried about the boy's well-being.

"Yes, i-its just th-that y-your f-f-food i-is s-so warm." The boy said sobbing harder.

"Ok, ok let's calm down, and then you can talk." Said Tang Shushui soothing the boy.

The boy finally calmed down and Tang Shushui handed the job to Haohao to go and went to talk to the boy but how could the passersby miss this gossip so they all started to listen to the conversation.

"I'm sorry for taking your time and thank you for listening. It's just that the head of the house passed away and everybody is fighting for land and my dad just fell ill so we don't have anybody supporting us, so I became the man of the house. I mean I do understand my mom and I do wish to help soothe the problem but, she took away my whole childhood and now she's taking away my youth you know? I know she's doing this for me but still, when I come home after a long day at school I get asked about my progress instead of my wellbeing, and when I complain I get told that  I don't help make money and I should stay quiet. It's stressing you know?" He said with a sad tone, tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

"I can't say that I understand because I haven't gone through what you've gone through, but seeing how far you've endured this means your strong, and one thing the strong people do is not give up. You said you can't complain because you make no money right?" Asked Tang Shushui in a gentle voice.

"Yes?" responded the boy with a confused voice.

"Then how about you work for me?" asked Tang Shushui with a cheerful voice.

"Really?" Responded the boy, his eyes widening as he gawked at Tang Shushui.

"Of course." Confirmed Tang Shushui happily.

"But I have to go to school." Responded the boy with a conflicted expression.

"When does your school end?" Asked Tang Shushui.

"At two." Responded the boy.

"Ok...your name?" Asked Tang Shushui sheepishly

"Tong Donghai." Responded the boy.

"Okay, Donghai how about you come to work after school at two till we close the stall which is at seven. I will pay you five copper coins each hour and you will get your pay at the end of the week, plus bonuses at the end of the month and during the holidays, then paid days off which means days you miss work but still get paid for, food included. Do you agree?" Told Tang Shushui.

Both Tong Donghai and the customers that were listening were stupified by the good profit this job held.

"Yes!" Tong Donghai practically yelled.

"Okay, Can you also find four other students that are willing to work, make sure one is ger and one is a girl and at least one of the students can cook okay?" Asked Tang Shushui.

"Yes, I can do that." Responded Tong Donghai enthusiastically. 

After the talk, Tang Shushui went back to work and his business was as successful as ever he was selling both affordable and delicious food so how could his business not be successful. People asked him to make meat buns for the next day and he agreed with a gentle smile on his face his popularity was also high and many were left heartbroken after learning that this beauty was married.

"Hello, auntie."  Called a cheerful voice.

"Hu'er! What are you doing here sweetie?" Asked Tang Shushui with eyes and a voice filled with nothing but gentleness as he slowly approached the child and proceeded to carry him completely ignoring the tall figure next to the child.

"Is this Jiangs Diner?"Asked the man in a cold voice.

"Are you illiterate or just plain rude? Clearly, it's written in bold letters on the HUGE banner in front of you." Said Tang Shushui in a gentle voice but the words that came out said otherwise. 

He wanted to be nice and gentle in the eyes of others but after Feng Hu told him about his experiences he doesn't have an ounce of respect for this man, he clearly was a powerful man so he was probably aware of how his housemaids are treating this poor boy but he didn't say anything or did anything, and the excuse of not loving his mother won't work because if he didn't want to take responsibility for a child he should have kept it in his pants.

"Oh My how rude." Said the maid next to him in a noble tone but the killing intent in her eyes said the opposite of that.

"Watch your eyes lady," He warned her as I let a little of my killing intent out making those around shudder but when they looked around all they saw was a gentle ger.

"Can I get two bowls of fishballs with spicy broth please and one bowl of chicken noodles?" Ordered the man seeing how his maid was stilled in place.

"Sure." He said and put Feng Hu down and went to prepare the food for the man.

After a moment he came out and gave the food to the man, and went to tutor Feng Hu.

'Oh? Is this a new trick for attention? Well, this is a new one. we'll see how long you can keep that up'  I Thought amused.

"What does your husband do for a living?" I asked the ger with a smile that didn't reach my eyes, and surprisingly the ger's face remained unmoved.

"My husband is a very handsome and hardworking farmer." He responded with a gentle voice.

"How about you leave this farmer husband of yours and become my wife, I promise you will be pretty satisfied," I said in a playful tone, implying the word satisfied with another meaning.

"My husband satisfies pretty well, in fact, he satisfies well as you can see," He responded equally playful while looking down on at his baby bump surprising me. He actually refused me, for his farmer husband. 

I've always loved a challenge and I can tell that this will be a fun one.
