Chapter 235 - 234: Thank You
Seeing Yiyi’s nervous look, Fei Erya quickly said, "It’s nothing, I recovered a long time ago, and besides, it’s not really an injury, just a slight twist. You saw how I walked before, didn’t you? Absolutely no problem."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi finally relaxed, then looked at Fan Qianshu with some curiosity, "Are you very familiar with Er Ya?"
Fan Qianshu shook his head in response, saying, "Not really, this is only the third time we’ve met."
Fei Erya hurried to explain on the side, "Yiyi, last time when I was working part-time, I twisted my foot, and it was Senior Fan who took me back to school. Turns out he’s also from Jing University, two years ahead of me."
"Yes, Qianshu is also a student at Jing University, so he and Er Ya really are schoolmates."
Fang Cheng said with a smile on the side, then looked at Fan Qianshu and said, "Since you’re older than Er Ya, you should look out for your junior next time."
"Alright."
Fan Qianshu replied with a slight smile.
Yang Liu couldn’t take her eyes off her cousin, Fan Qianshu. This person is just too good-looking, fitting every woman’s fantasy of a refined gentleman. His appearance was like Zilan Yushu, as if he walked out from a painting.
Fang Cheng naturally knew the charm of this cousin, so he directly picked up a serving of vegetables for his wife, urging her to eat.
Seeing her husband like this, Yang Liu couldn’t help but find it amusing.
However, Yiyi slightly frowned but eventually said nothing more.
She still remembered what Master had told her—that Fan Qianshu was not a simple person. The last time they met on the island, he even lied, so she didn’t want Er Ya to get too close to him.
After finishing the meal, Yiyi and Fei Erya left together.
"Er Ya, next time, try to keep your distance from Fan Qianshu."
Upon hearing this, Fei Erya was puzzled, "Why? Actually... he’s quite nice. He helped me a lot last time. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have known how to get back to the dormitory."
"A guy who looks like Fan Qianshu is bound to cause trouble if you spend too much time with him."
Fei Erya recalled the situation when Fan Qianshu had escorted her back to the dormitory, with everyone crowding around her with questions. She couldn’t help but nod in agreement, saying, "There’s some truth to that, but we’re not that familiar anyway. There’s really no need to worry. He probably still can’t remember my name."
"That’s good. After all, men who are too good-looking can be troublesome. He must be very popular at your school, so it’s better to stay away."
"You guessed it. Fan Qianshu is really famous at Jing University. Even among us freshmen, his name is known. Not only does he do well academically, but he’s also so handsome. Many girls at our school like him."
Hearing this, Yiyi immediately looked at her and asked, "What about you?"
"Me... I don’t have that thought. I’m just focused on studying hard, graduating with excellent grades, and finding a decent job." Fei Erya had already made up her mind about this. She just hoped to live a good life on her own in the future.
Seeing Er Ya speak so earnestly, Yiyi couldn’t help but feel relieved.
When they got home, each of them read and rested a bit before heading to the kitchen in the evening to work.
"Er Ya, you should go read. I can prep dinner myself."
Fei Erya shook her head, saying, "No need. If I help, we can finish faster. Besides, isn’t Master Guo and the others coming over for dinner tonight? So we need to speed things up."
Yiyi didn’t say much after hearing this.
Although neither of them was a regular in the kitchen, their actions weren’t slow. By around five o’clock, they had prepared a large table full of dishes.
Ding Yuejun was the first to return. Seeing the table full of dishes, she quickly said, "Er Ya, Yiyi, you’ve worked hard." As she spoke, she put the cooked meat she bought into a plate, "I mentioned yesterday not to make too much. I could’ve cooked once I got back. You two were quick, everything’s ready."
"Mom, go wash your hands. We can eat once Master and the others arrive."
Just as she finished speaking, Guo Ming and Mo Ping arrived.
"Master..."
Seeing Guo Ming, Yiyi greeted him with a smile, "I made your favorite braised fish today, so eat plenty. I cooked all the dishes."
"Sure, I’ll definitely eat a lot."
Guo Ming said with a merry smile.
Next to him, Mo Ping also beamed, "The little boss is so nice to even make my favorite braised pork."
Then they all sat down to eat.
After the meal, Mo Ping talked to Yiyi about the pharmaceutical factory, "Little boss, if you have the time tomorrow, you could come take a look. There are some things that still need your decision."
"Alright."
The next day, Yiyi followed Mo Ping to the East Suburb.
"Little boss, see if this will work. Although we followed the blueprints, I’m still not sure. I need your approval."
This workshop was specifically designed by Yiyi as a simplified version of a pharmaceutical factory’s purification workshop. However, the current technology wasn’t particularly advanced, and her funds were limited, so she could only make it simple for now.
After carefully reviewing the blueprints, Yiyi nodded and said, "This is fine."
Hearing Yiyi’s words, Mo Ping breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, then. Once this is done, the pharmaceutical factory should be nearly complete, and we’ll be able to start producing medicine pills."
"Great. It’ll still be troublesome, though. Selling medicine pills isn’t like other products. The required certifications and qualifications are the most cumbersome, so you’ll need to make sure everything’s in order."
Mo Ping quickly said, "Rest assured, little boss, I’ll handle it all."
He never dared to dream that one day he’d come to Shangjing to open a pharmaceutical factory. Now when he goes out, everyone calls him Manager Mo. Even though he’ll be busier once the factory starts up, he’ll also gain more respectability. All of this is thanks to Yiyi, and Mo Ping is genuinely grateful to her.
With Mo Ping leading the way, Yiyi took a tour, didn’t find any problems, and returned home.
Weekends always seem to fly by, and after Yiyi returned to class, she mentioned the weekend dinner to her dorm roommates.
"Wow... Yiyi, your partner is inviting us to dinner. That’s great. We can finally meet your partner in person," Cao Panpan said excitedly, eyes filled with curiosity.
The other girls were also quite pleased.
"It’s settled then. Let’s go to that restaurant we went to before."
Hearing this, Tao Cuizhu quickly said, "Yiyi, that restaurant is too expensive. Let’s just go to the small diner near the school gate."
"No worries. It’s a rare occasion to treat you all, so we should eat well."
Yiyi said with a smile, then looked at An Xueqing and said, "Xueqing, I talked to some people at the cast and crew through my mom. They want you to meet them at our clothing store this Sunday for a brief interview. If all goes well, you’ll be able to join the crew."
"Really, Yiyi, thank you so much."
Hearing this, An Xueqing was filled with excitement.
