Xia Lan thought to herself: In your last life, Xia Chuyi, you never returned to the Ou Family; in this life, don’t even think about it!
Immediately, Xia Lan’s smug smile on her face gradually twisted into a ferocious grin.
While Xia Lan was hurrying somewhere, Xia Chuyi also embarked on her journey back to the Capital City.
Xia Chuyi, accompanied by Qian Qianqian and two youngsters, had finally returned.
When Xia Chuyi arrived, apart from Youwei’s business doing well, Meng Xingmang also told her that he had chosen a new branch location.
And the grand opening plan for the new store was completely written out.
Xia Chuyi was very surprised and took Meng Xingmang’s plan to examine.
It had to be said, in just a month, Meng Xingmang’s plan was done very well.
Meng Xingmang seemed to be especially good at identifying the core issues of an industry and then finding solutions to them.
Among them, the promotional tactics for the grand opening were only briefly mentioned by Xia Chuyi, and Meng Xingmang detailed them further.
Xia Chuyi thought to herself: She really had found a treasure.
She approved the plan.
However, Xia Chuyi added a few points—offering appropriate shares to the founders and employees to motivate the staff to work harder.
"Shares?" Seeing this word, Meng Xingle was a bit surprised but quickly became excited—she had learned about "shares" in night school.
Meng Xingmang looked at Xia Chuyi with firm eyes and said, "I knew I was following the right person!"
Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh and shook her head.
This Meng Xingmang, once he trusted someone, was extremely loyal and never doubted them—it really was an unchangeable trait!
Meanwhile, after sorting out the shop’s affairs, Xia Chuyi turned around, carrying local products and medicinal materials, and went to Professor Bao’s house.
Once she was at home, Mrs. Gu was sitting in a chair, talking to her.
Xia Chuyi politely sat down nearby, observing Mrs. Gu’s condition.
With the help of medicinal food, Mrs. Gu was now barely able to sit up by herself.
But she couldn’t walk for long.
Xia Chuyi carefully observed her complexion and felt that with another year and a half of recuperation, Mrs. Gu might be able to start walking slowly by herself.
"Chuyi, come here!" Upon seeing Xia Chuyi, Mrs. Gu gently waved her over.
"Was the journey on the road harsh?" Holding her hand, Mrs. Gu commented concernedly, "You’ve lost weight!"
Um, in Ling County, she was clearly fattened up by Aunt Xia by two jin, yet in Mrs. Gu’s eyes...
It goes to show, the heartfelt concern of all elders is the same.
After asking a few caring questions about her stay in Ling County, Mrs. Gu handed her a brocade box, saying, "Child, it’s hard on you to always bring us things wherever you go.
Mrs. Gu smiled and continued, "I don’t have much else to offer you, this is a set of tokens from our Gu Family’s embroidery ladies. Even though you didn’t master embroidery well and haven’t formally taken me as your master."
"But since you have learned the craft from me and you are Qian’er’s wife."
"This brocade box, I’ll still give it to you."
Mrs. Gu’s words made Xia Chuyi feel embarrassed.
Yet she didn’t refuse.
Xia Chuyi knew that neither Professor Bao nor Mrs. Gu had children or other close relatives.
Thus, she could not and would not refuse Mrs. Gu’s deep affection for her juniors.
