Chu He picked up the unopened bottle of cola from the table.

"Ever since I came to the Great Xia Empire's Royal City, I've just been staying at the manor.
"Besides cultivating and studying, I wanted to find something for myself to do.
"I used to dream of opening my own cake shop, so I used my free time to learn how to bake and made quite a few cakes.
"I'd take them out on a cart to sell by the road, and I was surprised that business was actually pretty good. I could often sell out before coming home."

"He came to buy my cakes often, and we got to know each other over time.
"After that, he had me sign a contract with his company.
"Every day, I deliver the cakes I bake to be served as afternoon tea for their employees."
