"You could go to the coast or somewhere else, and you’d probably achieve even greater success," Xia Chuyi said earnestly.
After she had spoken, Meng Xingmang looked at her with a peculiar expression.
"Xia, don’t you want to expand your family business?" Meng Xingmang said, "Looking at your ’Youwei’ in Ling County and ’Youwei’ in Capital City, I thought you intended to grow the business."
"Moreover, my helping you isn’t without conditions—I want to attend night school."
After a pause, Meng Xingmang continued, "Although I don’t know you personally, through my interactions with Qian Qianqian and what I’ve heard about your initial school days, I think you’re a person very much worth relying on."
Impressive, truly a future woman of power, analyzing everything so logically.
Since fate had brought Meng Xingmang her way, Xia Chuyi no longer hesitated and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, Meng Xingmang. Welcome to ’Youwei.’"
"Hello, Xia Chuyi. I’m delighted to join ’Youwei.’"
Seeing the two shaking hands, Qian Qianqian was very excited and said, "That’s great! Our store has gained another capable helper!"
"But..." Qian Qianqian frowned, somewhat angrily saying, "Does this just let the person who took her place off the hook?"
Withdrawing their clasped hands, Meng Xingmang’s eyes momentarily darkened, saying, "Each has their own fate, what that person does isn’t really my concern."
In any case, she had already decided not to expose that person.
Qian Qianqian appeared somewhat deflated, saying, "This fake Meng Zhaodi really, why did she have to take someone else’s place at university? Wouldn’t it be better to try hard on her own?"
"Moreover, it had to be Kyoto University! Kyoto University, of all places—really shameless!" exclaimed Qian Qianqian angrily.
Hearing this, Meng Xingmang suddenly said, "Right, there’s something I need to discuss with you, especially Xia."
"The person who took my place, it seems her surname was Xia. Before dawn, she had planned to impersonate another person with the surname Xia."
"Due to some issue, it wasn’t successful, and she moved on to my family."
Qian Qianqian blinked, looking at Xia Chuyi, said, "Chuyi, do you think, this fake Meng Zhaodi could be?"
Qian Qianqian didn’t finish her sentence, but Xia Chuyi understood.
Could this fake Meng Zhaodi be the one who initially tried to impersonate Xia Chuyi?
Xia Chuyi’s eyes flickered briefly, pondering silently for a moment before saying, "It’s not impossible."
Moreover, thinking this way seemed to suddenly clarify why ’Meng Zhaodi’ had previously spoken ill of her.
The reason, it turned out, was because Xia Chuyi hadn’t allowed her to succeed.
After reflecting, Xia Chuyi briefly shared her suspicions with Qian Qianqian.
"Chuyi, we absolutely must not let her get away!" Having heard Xia Chuyi’s thoughts, Qian Qianqian couldn’t hold back her righteous indignation and said, "This person is just too wicked!"
Xia Chuyi nodded with a smile, saying, "Naturally, we cannot let her get away."
Meng Xingmang immediately looked at Xia Chuyi.
Xia Chuyi then said, "Even if we don’t expose her, there are ways to ensure the fake ’Meng Zhaodi’ continues her studies."
"Really?" Qian Qianqian asked, puzzled yet somewhat excited.
Xia Chuyi smiled, "Speaking of which, do you really think it’s that easy to muddle through our school?"
Pausing dramatically, Xia Chuyi continued, "If you don’t pass the exams, there’s no way to get a graduation certificate."
