Chapter 147: Hiring Help
Seeing Yiyi not following the usual script, Zheng Xiangqiao only felt uncomfortable, and couldn’t help but stand up and say, "Yiyi, there are still so many dishes, why don’t you have some more." Meanwhile, she gave a look to Zhang Liangyue.
At this point, Yiyi understood everything.
It seemed that things were no different from before. Zhang Liangyue would likely continue to pursue her relentlessly in the coming time, and all this was very likely fueled by Zheng Xiangqiao behind the scenes. She was trying to cut off her path to education.
Thinking of this, Yiyi’s eyes were deep.
Knowing their plans, she didn’t want to stay here any longer.
"I’ve already had enough, so there’s no need to stay. You two enjoy your meal." After saying that, Yiyi walked away without looking back.
Watching Yiyi’s receding figure, Zheng Xiangqiao angrily threw down her chopsticks.
Zhang Liangyue frowned and said beside her, "Didn’t you say this Mo Yiyi always considers you a good friend? But she doesn’t seem to treat you like one. If she really saw you as a friend, she wouldn’t be so indifferent. You also said she listens to you, and when I entice her a bit, she’ll easily fall for it. But now it seems there’s not much hope."
Already angry, Zheng Xiangqiao felt even more furious hearing Zhang Liangyue’s words.
"What, weren’t you very confident at the beginning? Now you’re doubting yourself?"
"When did I ever say I was very confident?"
Zheng Xiangqiao sneered and said, "Hmph, you didn’t have to say it; your expression already revealed everything. You found my suggestion unappealing but still couldn’t resist agreeing. You just thought you were so capable, able to charm any little girl. Now, why are you backing out before even taking action? So useless."
"Zheng Xiangqiao..."
Although he had always been interested in Zheng Xiangqiao and they had been entangled for a long time, he was also quite tolerant of her. But when it came to a man’s dignity and reputation, he would not allow her to slander him like that.
Seeing Zhang Liangyue’s annoyed expression, Zheng Xiangqiao couldn’t help but say, "If that’s the case, let’s cancel our previous plan."
However, this time Zhang Liangyue suppressed his anger and changed his mind: "Don’t you dislike Mo Yiyi? Since you’ve asked me to do it, I’ll help you without hesitation. Rest assured, I’ll make sure you feel better in the end."
Watching Zhang Liangyue eager to pursue Mo Yiyi, Zheng Xiangqiao’s eyes were full of sarcasm, and she felt even more resentful towards Mo Yiyi in her heart.
Yiyi, of course, didn’t know what these two were thinking. Even if she did, she wouldn’t bother. Since things hadn’t changed much, she didn’t have time to bother with them either.
However, since these two still dared to target her, she had to teach them a lesson so that others wouldn’t think she’s easy to bully.
Thinking of this, a sparkle flashed in Yiyi’s eyes.
Since they were all so friendly with each other, she’d help them along.
The thing Zhang Liangyue was most proud of was his identity as a teacher. In her past life, he frequently talked about this advantage, believing women liked him for it. She wanted to see what he’d have to be proud of when he was dismissed from the school.
With a decision made, Yiyi went straight to the pharmacy, intending to have Mo Ping procure some medicinal herbs, counting it as a gift for Zheng Xiangqiao.
Mo Ping was quite pleased to see Yiyi come over.
"Little boss, the response from Huichun Hall is great this time. With them taking the lead in selling medicine pills at the pharmacy, I found a few other pharmacies. Although they haven’t given me definite answers, one of them is starting to express interest. I think you should make more medicine pills while you still have the time. There will surely be more people buying our Wuming Pharmacy’s whitening pills and Height Increasing Pills."
Hearing Mo Ping’s words, Yiyi was a bit surprised.
"When did you contact other pharmacies?"
Mo Ping chuckled, "Just a few days ago. Little boss, don’t worry. This period is crucial for you, so just focus on your studies and don’t worry about things here. I’ll handle everything."
Over time, Yiyi saw that Mo Ping had a knack for this. He managed the pharmacy very methodically, so she felt reassured. "Alright, I’ll leave the pharmacy to you. But you need to stock up on medicinal herbs, and I’ll come over the weekend to make medicine pills. Also, help me procure these herbs."
While speaking, Yiyi picked up a piece of paper and jotted down various kinds of herbs.
To avoid drawing attention, she instructed Mo Ping to buy a variety of other herbs to mix in, to create confusion.
After receiving the paper, Mo Ping promptly smiled, "Rest assured, little boss, I’ll procure the herbs as soon as possible and notify you then."
"Okay."
After discussing business, Yiyi went to find Guo Ming.
She had been busy helping her mother with the clothing store recently, so her martial arts practice was a bit neglected. Today, she decided to use her free time to practice properly.
Guo Ming was practicing boxing in the backyard when Yiyi arrived, and he silently began sparring with her.
Guo Ming’s manner was stern, but his guidance was insightful, making Yiyi feel she benefited a lot.
"Thank you, Master Guo, for your guidance."
Yiyi was very grateful to Guo Ming, knowing that without him, her skills wouldn’t have improved so quickly.
"No need. It’s your diligence."
Over time, Guo Ming had become much closer to Yiyi.
Hearing Guo Ming’s words, Yiyi’s face was full of smiles, and she felt more natural interacting with him.
After Yiyi was done and returned to the clothing store, she found her mother beaming with joy as soon as she entered.
Seeing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, did something good happen?"
Ding Yuejun nodded and said, "Do you remember Boss Wu Yongcai?"
"Of course I remember. We even went to Shangjing to meet him and deliver goods."
"Boss Wu placed another order, asking for two qipaos and three long dresses to be customized."
Hearing this, Yiyi felt happy for her mother.
"That’s great. It seems the clothing store’s business will go well."
Ding Yuejun nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. But if it’s just me making clothes, the delivery time will be delayed a lot."
Hearing this, Yiyi suggested again, "Mom, I think you should hire a few tailors. Your workload will be reduced a lot then."
Originally, Ding Yuejun felt hiring people would be costly, but now she realized her daughter was right. "Alright, I understand. I’ll keep an eye out for suitable people."
However, to Yiyi and Ding Yuejun’s surprise, before they could find suitable people, Guo Ming directly recommended someone.
