"What if she really doesn’t agree?" Xiaofeng was very curious as to how Ye Cheng would choose if Yan Junmei kept refusing to give in about her relationship with Ye Cheng.
"She will agree; she understands me better than anyone else."
"Did you threaten her?" If the marriage between her and Ye Cheng needed Ye Cheng to threaten Yan Junmei to agree, there might be many troubles ahead.
"Look at what you’re saying, we just talked." Ye Cheng believed his mom would definitely agree.
"Either way, I hope to receive her genuine blessing. After all, if she doesn’t agree, I wouldn’t dare to bring Erbao into the Gu Family."
"Okay, I promise you, we’ll work on it together."
"Hello, are you hiring here?" A stylishly dressed woman, holding a cigarette butt between her fingers, extinguished her cigarette and asked Xiaofeng, who was sitting outside the shop.
Xiaofeng looked at her, wearing light makeup, and her clothes did not look cheap: "Are you looking for a job?"
"I see you’re hiring a manager?" The woman had a refined demeanor and a faint fragrance about her.
"Yes, as long as someone has management ability and can help me manage a shop, I can make her the manager." Xiaofeng nodded.
"I’m not interested in such a small salary, but I’m fed up with my previous lifestyle and want to change my days. You can decide the salary, but I want twenty percent of the equity in this shop." The woman approached Xiaofeng to discuss the equity directly, clearly not a newcomer in society.
If the woman really had the capability and was willing to manage the shop long-term, giving her twenty percent of the equity actually wasn’t a loss.
However, this wasn’t as simple as just talking: "If you really think so, I can consider it. But you have to prove your ability to manage this shop for me."
In a nutshell, she still needed to see her capability.
"How about this, when can I start working here? I could start for a few days, and as for whether I can adapt, we can both find that out."
"I see you are older than me, so I’ll call you Sister Zhu for now. Sister Zhu, you don’t look like someone who lacks a simple job, why would you think of working in my small shop?" She was wearing light, delicate makeup and holding a cigarette, and her clothes did not look cheap.
At least in this era, she didn’t look like someone who was short of money.
"To tell you the truth," Zhu Yuhua flicked the dust off her clothing: "My husband fell for another woman and wants to divorce me. I can’t swallow this indignity and must achieve something to show him that I can live well even without him."
Having money does not matter; some people, some lives are just fleeting.
Xiaofeng hadn’t expected the woman was emotionally hurt and therefore looking for a job.
Like her situation, there are many these days.
Some men have decent earning abilities, and their wives stay at home to look after the family, not minding the husband’s affairs. A few years down the line, the men get bored with their wives and start having affairs, or even want a divorce from their wives.
"So you’re saying you haven’t worked before." While the situation was sympathetic, some basic information was still clear.
"Well, my education isn’t low; I’m a high school graduate. Before marrying my current husband, I worked in a hotel, and I haven’t worked since getting married." Zhu Yuhua didn’t think managing a shop was difficult.
Managing here and there, it’s all just about these little things, these few people.
Hearing Zhu Yuhua’s relaxed tone, Xiaofeng smiled: "Sister Zhu, how about this, you register first, and when we have enough people, I will arrange a staff training here. Then you can come too. As for the manager position, I can’t promise you that now, but if you have the capability, I can consider partnering with you." The woman had too little social experience, and her tone was too casual, whether she truly needed the job or it was just a moment of anger against her husband was uncertain.
"It’s so troublesome, even requiring training." Zhu Yuhua frowned slightly: "Okay, I’ll give you my name and phone number, and you can notify me then."
After leaving her phone number, Zhu Yuhua left. Watching, Xiaofeng spontaneously asked, "If it were you, would you choose a divorce?"
Not to divorce, she couldn’t swallow the indignity. If she divorced, it would be tough on her son.
"Sister Zhu, would you like to hear my suggestion?"
"If your capability isn’t sufficient now, I would suggest you not divorce yet. Wait until you have all the abilities you need, then you can reconsider whether to leave him or to ignore him. Once a woman has her own earning capability, her view of a man’s presence becomes very indifferent." She hadn’t experienced it, but had seen enough examples to offer some advice.
"That sounds somewhat reasonable." Zhu Yuhua somewhat agreed: "So, I really want to start working quickly to show him that I can live well without him."
"Sister Zhu, welcome to work here, I’ll wait for you." Only if she truly wanted to come, she was genuinely welcome.
The woman nodded, walked away in her 8-centimeter heels.
Little One had just woken up, and she yawned: "Sis, running a business is really hard work, why don’t you go work in an office instead? The salary is decent, the work is easier, and most importantly, it’s not as hard."
During the morning, not many people came looking for jobs, and she couldn’t leave, which was quite boring.
"I think it’s quite nice, and importantly, I enjoy this feeling." After graduating from university, she had worked in an office and at a large corporation. She resigned and returned to her hometown to start a business that year, her annual salary was already several hundreds of thousands.
But she didn’t stay, decisively leaving.
Having been reborn, she only wanted to walk the path of entrepreneurship once again from her previous life, no matter how things ended with Ye Cheng. If she and the children had money, she could give the children the best.
When she got home, Xiaofeng found Yan Junmei was also there.
Seeing Xiaofeng return, Yan Junmei greeted her subtly: "Xiaofeng is back."
"Mom." Xiaofeng hadn’t expected the other party to come over. Was she here to ask for an answer?
The other party didn’t suggest she leave or anything similar, and stood up: "I’m just here to see the kids, these two little ones, they’re growing more and more attractive."
Fair and delicate, just like fairy children.
Her visit today also brought a significant discovery; she found that Erbao’s eyes and eyebrows resembled Acheng when he was a child.
This discovery delighted her.
That might mean Yecheng hadn’t lied to her, and the boy and girl twins might indeed be his.
