Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 360 - 358: Jealousy

"No need for formalities! Come on in!" Lin Xia took the documents and led the way into the living room.

Feng Tao looked around this large courtyard as he walked in, taking in the luxurious decorations, the pavilion in the yard, and when he entered the living room, the exquisite furniture and the fine tea sets on the coffee table left him completely unsettled.

He grew up in a family with poor conditions, many siblings, and even though his parents both worked, they could barely keep the family fed. As for living conditions, he always squeezed in with his siblings and never had a room of his own.

Moreover, being the middle child with older brothers and sisters above him and younger ones below, he rarely got much attention.

"Make yourself at home! I’ll go slice some fruit!" Lin Xia invited him to sit down and then went to prepare some fruit.

Feng Tao was newly recruited. He was smooth in social interactions, diligent, and attractive, which is why she chose him as her assistant.

Taking him along to negotiations would be impressive because of his tall stature. Even though his looks weren’t as outstanding as those of the brother-in-law or slightly less than Zhang Yu, he was still quite handsome, considering it’s rare to find someone comparable to the brother-in-law.

Zhang Yu... he’s so-so, somewhat resembling the brother-in-law, so he’s considered handsome.

As soon as his female boss left the room, Feng Tao starry-eyed, appraised the house. It was enormous, infinitely bigger compared to his own home.

The yard even had its own vegetables, an arbor, and a pavilion, which proclaimed what it meant to be a wealthy person, deeply shocking him inside.

His dream was to become rich one day, having his own room and a study with a luxurious desk and a boss’s chair, all to himself.

Now, it seemed his dreams were too small. Compared to here, he was like a frog in a well.

Lin Xia soon returned with the cut fruits. "Xiao Feng, how did you get here?" She put down the fruits and casually started chatting.

Feng Tao immediately stood up, a bit nervous. "I biked over!"

That bicycle was a gift from his mom from a second-hand market when he got into the Lin Group, making his siblings envious.

"Sit down! Don’t be nervous! Have some fruit!" Lin Xia amusedly pressed him down into his seat and, with her usual affability, chatted with him, "You’ve been working for three days, right? Are you used to the job?"

"Yes, I am! Thank you, Mr. Lin, for this opportunity! I will work hard!" Feng Tao didn’t dare touch the fruits he couldn’t recognize before him.

Lin Xia, noticing this, handed him one, making him feel obliged to eat it.

"Well, although the Lin Group offers high salaries, the work is busy! It’s good that you can adapt!" Lin Xia nodded, and they began chatting aimlessly.

When Zhang Yu arrived, Lin Xia and Feng Tao were quite familiar, chatting animatedly and laughing heartily.

"You really know a lot! Haha..." Lin Xia was laughing heartily when Zhang Yu walked in.

Seeing Feng Tao for the first time, alarms went off in Zhang Yu’s mind. Who was this guy, and why was he at home, chatting so cheerfully with Lin Xia?

How could he not know about a guy being so close to her?

It was dangerous watching how happily they chatted; it indicated that she admired this person.

Over the years, he had fully grasped her character. She was enthusiastic about things she admired.

Things she disliked? She couldn’t be bothered to even glance at them.

"Xiao Xia! We have a guest?" Zhang Yu adjusted his emotions, walked up, casually sat down, and picked up a piece of fruit from the table to eat.

Acting as if this was their shared home felt right somehow, though Lin Xia didn’t notice.

The girl was a business genius, but in terms of love, she was clueless.

Even though she was chatting happily with this guy, Zhang Yu knew it was admiration, not romantic interest.

"He’s my new assistant! Feng Tao!" Lin Xia introduced them, "Feng Tao, this is my brother-in-law’s brother, Zhang Yu!"

Zhang Yu pouted slightly, displeased. Why did she introduce him as just the brother-in-law’s brother?

For the past four or five years, he had worked so hard to be beside her, was he still just that to her?

"Hello! I’m Xiao Xia’s family!" Zhang Yu stood up, ambiguously greeted.

Lin Xia wouldn’t refute this. After so many years, he’d long gotten her future in-laws on his side.

To them, he might as well be a son. What else if not family?

"Hello! I’m Feng Tao!" Lin Xia might not have noticed, but Feng Tao was alert to the latent warning and undertones in Zhang Yu’s words, slightly unnoticed, he stood up and shook hands with Zhang Yu.

"Xiao Feng, just have faith! Follow Mr. Lin, and you’ll have a promising future!" Zhang Yu shook hands and sat down, saying before looking at Lin Xia.

"I know indeed! Mr. Lin is a powerful woman! I admire her!" Feng Tao nodded, provocatively looking at him. With his high EQ, he already saw that Zhang Yu had feelings for Mr. Lin.

"Right! Xiao Xia is so beautiful! A big boss! Wealthy women are often more popular!" Zhang Yu deliberately suggested Feng Tao liked her for her wealth.

"Zhang Yu! Why come over now? Everything okay on your side?" Lin Xia swiftly changed the topic. Feng Tao was her assistant—if Zhang Yu’s teasing continued, how could they work together?

Initially, Feng Tao wanted to say something to provoke Zhang Yu, but since the boss shifted topics, he stayed quiet.

"All’s well, I came to check on you! Are you busy?" Zhang Yu originally wanted to say he came for her, but changed his words to ask if she was busy.

"Nothing I can’t handle here! Everything’s well arranged! The little ones are doing their homework, so they won’t cause trouble!" Lin Xia assured, patting her chest. "Besides, grandma’s here. They’re not too needy of their mom. Don’t worry, everything’s fine!"

Zhang Yu never worried about that. He knew how clingy those two could be with grandma. As long as she was around, all was well. He purely wanted to see Lin Xia; he missed her, plain and simple.

Feels like eternity without seeing her.

"That’s good! They left quickly, worried you couldn’t handle things here!" Zhang Yu nodded earnestly. "As soon as I got things settled for my brother, I rushed over! So hungry!"

"Typical! You just want a free meal, huh? Today, you’ll have to lend a hand! I can’t do it all alone!" Lin Xia arched an eyebrow and turned to Feng Tao, "Xiao Feng, don’t leave yet! Try your boss’s cooking!"

Feng Tao intended to decline, but then he caught the unfriendly look from Zhang Yu, making him not want to leave. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Zhang Yu’s warning glare was too obvious, making it impossible not to get involved.

"I’d be glad to help you, boss! I cook quite often at home!" Feng Tao smiled, accepting. "Those who can’t cook only make a mess in the kitchen! My little brother, every time he creates chaos, leaves the pots and pans scattered!"

He shot a provocative glance at Zhang Yu, confident that a pampered young man like Zhang Yu couldn’t possibly cook.
