“Yes!” Wang Xiaohu chimed in.
He had just come of age, and his spiritual power was only at the minimum F level, leaving little hope for advancement.
In theory, being young should make finding work easier.
But he was pale and thin, so others assumed he was underage and didn’t even give him interview opportunities.
Finally, he got this chance—if he failed, he would have no choice but to go outside the city to mine energy stones.
Mining outside meant leaving the safety zone.
While the rewards could be higher, the risk of death was significant.
He had younger siblings to support and couldn’t afford to die out there.
Di Kun looked at Su Yue, intending to speak up for the two men, but Su Yue spoke first.
“Let’s go ahead as planned.”
“I’ll explain your work. If you perform well, not only will you get your salary, but you’ll also receive performance bonuses.”
“Of course, if you can’t handle the work, I’ll have no choice but to let you go,” Su Yue said calmly.
“Yes! Thank you, boss!” Wang Xiaohu was the first to react, bowing to her quickly.
“Thank you, boss!” Kang Heping followed, also bowing.
Su Yue explained the work and signed the employment contracts with them.
Di Kun released Zhan Feng from the mech necklace and placed him beside the food cart.
Inside the cart, Su Yue took out the pre-packed juice boxes and stacked them in the storage area.
“We need to update the display outside. In addition to sugarcane juice and orange juice, we’ll also sell mango juice today.”
“Prices remain the same: small cup 50 star coins, large cup 80 star coins.”
“There are 1,500 cups total. Sell these first, and when about half are left, contact me for a restock,” Su Yue instructed.
It wasn’t that she lacked stock—it was that the cart couldn’t hold that many cups at once.
Fortunately, their new home was close to the commercial street, so resupply wasn’t far.
“Got it!” both agreed.
“One more thing: payments.”
“The cart is equipped with a notification sound for received payments. Pay attention to it. Only serve the customer after the alert; otherwise, any mistakes will be your responsibility,” Su Yue said sternly.
Both men’s expressions tightened.
They nodded in acknowledgment.
Su Yue hadn’t finished training them when a customer arrived.
Business had begun, so she instructed Kang Heping and Wang Xiaohu to serve, while she observed.
Selling juice was simple: confirm payment, hand over the juice, and answer customer questions.
This was why she trusted these two to handle it.
As more customers came, drawn by the mech or simply thirsty, the two initially nervous employees gradually became confident and efficient.
Seeing this, Su Yue relaxed.
“Let’s go; it’s almost time for our hospital appointment,” Di Kun called.
“Mm,” Su Yue replied, leaving with him.
At the obstetrics department, many were waiting.
Most pregnant women were visibly far along; Su Yue’s belly was barely noticeable.
She expected a long wait, but after check-in, she was called immediately.
The doctor, a gentle woman, had her lie in the medical pod to check her condition.
Su Yue was at 17 weeks. The pod allowed them to clearly see the baby.
The baby was currently about the size of an avocado, weighing around 200 grams. On the enlarged display, they could even see facial features, eyebrows, and nails.
Su Yue and Di Kun observed together, listening to the heartbeat.
Warmth and emotion spread between them.
For the first time, they truly felt the existence of a child connected to their bloodline.
“The baby is fine.”
“Recently, the mother may feel dizzy, especially when standing up from a squat or getting up from bed. This is due to low blood pressure from cardiovascular changes during pregnancy. Move slowly when rising, and it will improve.”
“For diet, eat mostly natural foods, plenty of vegetables and fruits, and some meat, but not too much.”
“Also, the father should be patient, care for the mother’s emotions, and spend time with both mother and baby.”
“Understood. Thank you, doctor,” Di Kun said, helping Su Yue up and sincerely thanking the doctor.
“You’re welcome,” the doctor said warmly.
The woman was beautiful, the man exceptionally handsome and considerate. It was easy to imagine that their future child would be both pretty and happy.
Su Yue bid farewell to Di Kun and the doctor, leaving the hospital with a deep sense of happiness.
As soon as they got on the hover bike, Su Yue received a call from Kang Heping.
The juice stock at the cart had fallen below half.
“We’ll be there immediately,” Su Yue said, instructing Di Kun to drive to Wu Bian Square.
On the way, she expressed her concern.
“Wang Xiaohu called—the juice is already below half.”
“At this rate, the cart might sell 2,000–3,000 cups by morning.”
“At home, it would be fine—we could restock promptly. But outside the city, the cart might run out.”
“Also, displaying the mech beside the cart helps attract business. If we leave the city, we’ll need Zhan Feng for that.”
Di Kun smiled lightly.
“Who said the mech at the cart is the real Zhan Feng?” he asked.
Su Yue froze.
“That mech is modeled after Zhan Feng, a one-to-one replica in normal form. Without activating combat mode, it’s almost identical to the real thing,” Di Kun explained.
“Also, the model mech has a corresponding mech necklace.
Its internal space isn’t large, but we can store thousands of juice cups once deployed.”
“If we’re not home, Big Brother can deliver the juice. He has a hover bike, so delivery will be fast.”
Su Yue glanced at the back of Di Kun’s head and relaxed.
“Once we get back, we should ask Big Brother’s opinion,” she said.
“Mm.”
They arrived at Wu Bian Square quickly.
Customers were still buying juice, and even more were lining up for photos with the mech.
Su Yue entered the cart to check the situation.
Mango juice had sold out, so she removed the empty boxes and restocked ten more boxes of mango juice.
