After waiting until lunchtime, Mu Yunfan's store finally had a few scattered customers coming in.

At this moment, two middle-aged men walked in, one with a big belly and the other slim. Mu Yunfan, who was wiping the table, immediately greeted them, "Welcome."

However, when she looked up and saw the two of them, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of disgust as she said, "It's you."

The chubby middle-aged man laughed, "Oh, Mr. Mu, you're not welcoming us? We're just here to show some concern for our fellow businessmen."

The slim middle-aged man glanced around the store and laughed, "Mr. Mu's store is still so quiet."

Mu Yunfan coldly replied, "I only serve customers here, not people who just want to eat. Leave."

The chubby middle-aged man chuckled, "Of course we're here to eat. There are too many customers in our store, it's too noisy. So we came to Mr. Mu's place for some peace and quiet."

The slim middle-aged man also chuckled, "Exactly, we just came to support our fellow businessmen."

These two middle-aged men, who were mocking in their words, were called Ruduo and Joseph. They were both owners of fast food restaurants on the street ahead, namely Hao You Duo Fast Food Restaurant and Xiang Pen Pen Fast Food Restaurant. These two shops were located in the best section of the food street and had good business.

As the saying goes, two of a trade never agree. Mu Yunfan had had disputes with them before when purchasing ingredients, so these two guys would come to Mu Yunfan's place to taunt and retaliate whenever they had nothing else to do.

The two of them sat down and Mu Yunfan went over to take their orders with an expressionless face. Then, she brought two plates of fried rice to them.

Although she disliked these two men, Mu Yunfan followed the principle of not refusing to make money.

As the two men ate the fried rice, after a few bites, Ruduo wrinkled his forehead and said, "Oh, this fried rice doesn't taste good at all. It's far worse than the fried rice in my shop!"

Joseph also followed suit and said, pretending to be considerate, "Indeed, Mr. Mu, you should improve your cooking skills. Why don't you come to my shop and learn from our head chef?"

Mu Yunfan's face showed a cold smile. She couldn't be bothered arguing with them. She had been to their shops before and the taste of their food was nothing special. The food in her own shop was at least a level above theirs. Otherwise, why would she have a prime location on the street while their business was merely good?

Mu Yunfan continued to wipe the tables, ignoring their comments.

The two men kept making sarcastic remarks while eating. For example, "Oh, Mr. Mu, the decoration of your place is not good. What if the ceiling falls and hits a customer?"

"Oh, why are there still no customers? It's too quiet here, isn't it?"

Mu Yunfan continued to wipe the tables expressionlessly, just waiting for them to finish their meal so she could kick them out.

However, these two men were cunning. They knew that as long as they hadn't finished eating, they wouldn't be kicked out. So they ate slowly. And they also knew that as long as there were no other customers in the shop, Mu Yunfan's tolerance would be exceptionally high. But as long as there were other customers, even if they hadn't finished eating, they would be kicked out as soon as they bad-mouthed the shop. So they specifically chose to come when there were no other customers in the store.

At this time, on the second floor, Phyllis, who had just woken up, felt a warm and comfortable sensation throughout her body, making her tempted to stay in bed.

However, she was not the type to laze around in bed, so she sat up and looked at the magical clock. It was now midday, twelve o'clock.

Phyllis sat on the bed and remembered what Mu Yunfan had said to her in the morning: if she hadn't decided where to go, she should stay here for now.

Grandma Ella's voice echoed in her mind again: as long as you can live a happy life, Grandma will be satisfied.

Phyllis's eyes became moist. She pursed her lips and made up her mind. Grandma, rest assured, I won't seek a way out anymore. Even though I've lost everything, I'll still strive to live on!

She got out of bed and instinctively walked to the wardrobe and opened it. As she pulled open the wardrobe door, she suddenly remembered that this was not her old room. How could her own clothes be here?

But by the time she realized it, she had already fully opened the wardrobe door, and indeed, inside were all men's clothes.

Phyllis had a feeling of peeking into someone's private life and couldn't help blushing. She was about to close the wardrobe door when she suddenly noticed a set of women's dress hanging on the edge of the wardrobe.Phyllis couldn't help but be taken aback.

"There are other girls living here? Didn't Mr. Mu Yunfan say that he lives here alone?"

Curiosity got the better of Phyllis, so she took a look and found a set of black and white maid uniform, which appeared to be very old-fashioned. The wrinkles on it indicated that the uniform had been hanging here for a long time without anyone wearing it.

Phyllis felt it was not right to take someone else's clothes, so she quickly put it back.

"Mr. Mu Yunfan, you should be downstairs opening the shop at this time."

Because she was curious about the shop Mu Yunfan opened, Phyllis immediately headed towards the first floor.

Phyllis reached the staircase and as she walked down a few steps, she heard Rudo's mocking voice, "Boss Mu, it's awfully quiet here, isn't it?"

Phyllis was stunned. Was Mr. Mu Yunfan's business not doing well?

She continued down the stairs and halfway there, she saw Mu Yunfan's shop. It was a very simple little shop with only two customers inside, while Mu Yunfan was clearing the table at another table.

Because the staircase was tucked away in a corner of the shop, nobody noticed Phyllis.

Phyllis looked at the shop front, and Rudo and Joseph's sarcastic words reached her ears, confirming that Mu Yunfan's business was indeed not doing well. Then she saw Mu Yunfan, with his calm expression, seemingly carrying a sense of helplessness.

For some reason, hearing Rudo and Joseph's mockery made Phyllis feel as if it was her own home that was being ridiculed, causing her discomfort.

Phyllis pursed her lips. Mr. Mu Yunfan was her benefactor and she wanted to do something to help him.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly made up her mind and turned back to the second floor.

Phyllis returned to Mu Yunfan's room, opened the wardrobe, and looked at the old maid uniform that hadn't been worn for a long time. She made up her mind and took it out.

Two customers arrived at Mu Yunfan's shop. While they were eating, Rudo and Joseph wisely kept quiet. When the two customers left, Rudo smirked, "Wow, Boss Mu, you finally have two customers in your shop. It's cause for celebration!"

Joseph immediately chimed in, "Absolutely, Boss Mu must be very happy with two customers, right?"

Mu Yunfan expressionlessly cleaned the tableware, pondering whether to ask them to leave early.

At that moment, Rudo and Joseph's voices suddenly ceased. Mu Yunfan wondered why these two guys were suddenly silent and turned to look at them, only to find them both with wide-eyed, open-mouthed expressions, looking incredulously inside the shop.

Mu Yunfan followed their gaze and was also stunned.

At the staircase in the shop, stood a girl with silver hair and violet eyes, unbelievably beautiful and with an ethereal temperament resembling that of a princess. Her outfit, however, was a maid uniform.

Mu Yunfan was frozen. He recognized that maid uniform as belonging to the landlady's granddaughter. It had been left here before and had been untouched inside the wardrobe. So how did Phyllis end up wearing it now?

"Phyllis, what are you doing..."

Mu Yunfan didn't finish his question before Phyllis blushed and walked up to him, her gaze earnestly pleading. "Mr. Mu Yunfan, I also want to help. Can I?"

"Uh..." Mu Yunfan had originally intended to reject her offer, but upon seeing Phyllis's earnest gaze, he nodded. "Alright."

Phyllis suddenly wore a happy smile.

Mu Yunfan knew Phyllis's previous identity as the Elf Saintess, an incredibly esteemed existence. With that kind of status, she probably wouldn't have to do manual labor herself in her daily life. Mu Yunfan couldn't help but wonder if she would be able to handle the rough work in the shop.Mu Yunfan was hesitating about what to have Phyllis do, but saw that Phyllis had already walked straight towards the door.

Phyllis walked outside, turned around to observe the surroundings, and then looked back at the sign.

Mu Yunfan couldn't help but look puzzled and was about to ask, when he saw Phyllis turn around and face the street filled with many restaurants. It was peak hours now, with people coming and going on that side, while this side was relatively empty.

Phyllis stood still, and if one were to see her from the front, they would see a nervous expression on her face. After a while, she suddenly raised her hands in front of her face, making a trumpet shape with her hands, and opened her small mouth. A sweet voice came out from her mouth, "Convenient, fast food restaurant, delicious, tasty...".

Before she could finish her sentence, Phyllis's face turned red, she lowered her head, and she couldn't continue due to her nervousness and shyness. Although she used to be a high and mighty Elf Saint, she had never really been in the spotlight, nor had she ever done anything like this.

Although Mu Yunfan couldn't see Phyllis's face from inside the shop, he could tell how nervous and shy she was just from her reddened, pointed ears. Somehow, Mu Yunfan started to feel nervous as well.

Phyllis paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Convenient fast food restaurant, delicious, tasty, lunch, everyone come and try it!"

"Convenient fast food restaurant, delicious, tasty, lunch, everyone come and try it!"

By the third time, Phyllis finally managed to say the whole sentence smoothly.

Phyllis paused, feeling that her voice wasn't loud enough, so she raised her voice and shouted, "Convenient fast food restaurant, delicious, tasty, lunch, everyone come and try it!"

Her clear, pleasant voice spread out, and even though people in the distance couldn't hear what she was saying, they were attracted by her melodious voice. When they saw Phyllis, they were shocked. How did such a beautiful maid appear here?

People started to gather around Phyllis, more and more people gathered around her, pointing and talking.

"How can there be such a beautiful maid here?"

"Look at her pointed ears, she's an Elf, she's an Elf! This is the first time I've seen an Elf! Elves are really this beautiful!"

"We're in the human's territory, separated by several countries from the nearest Elven kingdom. How could an Elf come here?"

"Oh my, I feel like all the human females in the world are not as beautiful as her. Are Elves really this beautiful?"

Seeing so many people gathering around and discussing her, the naturally shy Phyllis became even more nervous, her cheeks turning hot. But she still tried her best to stand firm and continue shouting, "Convenient fast food restaurant, delicious, tasty, lunch, everyone come and try it!"

Someone then joked, "Elf maid, is the food here really good? You're not tricking us, are you?"

When Phyllis heard someone ask her, she felt happy and quickly said, "It's really delicious! Please give it a try!"

After saying that, Phyllis immediately bowed at a 90-degree angle.

Everyone could see how nervous Phyllis was and couldn't help but laugh, some even teasing, "Why are you so nervous? Is this your first time being a shop assistant?"

Phyllis blushed, but still persevered through her shyness and continued to promote. Some people were curious and walked into the shop.

When Phyllis attracted a large crowd, Mu Yunfan was already stunned. He had also tried various methods to attract people to his shop before, but he had never seen so many people gathering like this!

Soon, customers started to come in, and Mu Yunfan snapped out of his daze and quickly went forward to take their orders.

One after another, customers came in, and Mu Yunfan suddenly became busy and delighted.

Although most of the customers were only attracted by Phyllis's beauty and her status as an Elf, because there were so many people, quite a few of them actually entered the shop.

When he came to his senses, the shop was already filled with almost half of the customers!

Mu Yunfan was shocked. This was the first time since he opened the shop that business had been this good!
