Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Future Partner

“But I can’t get into college, am I supposed to just keep retaking the exam for the rest of my life?” Qian Qianqian lamented, her face filled with helplessness.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi pondered for a while before saying, “Qianqian, how about this? You come and try working at my store first. If your family doesn’t agree, tell me, and I’ll negotiate with them.”

“Okay!” Qian Qianqian agreed without hesitation, her answer full of excitement.

Xia Chuyi smiled and said, “Don’t agree too quickly, listen to what the job offers first.”

“Working at ‘Youwei’ pays a base salary of 35, with a commission for good performance, and a big bonus at the end of the year.”

“Qianqian, would you like to work with me?”

Qian Qianqian smiled too, her eyebrows raised as she said, “If it were someone else, someone with bad character who offered extravagant conditions, I wouldn’t go! Who knows how much they might skimp here or there.”

“But you, my idol, I trust completely! Even if you didn’t say anything, I’m sure the treatment wouldn’t be bad at all.”

Full of depth yet attentive to detail, this kid was really not bad.

Xia Chuyi nodded to herself in approval.

Before she could continue speaking, she saw Qian Qianqian excitedly pack up her small stall—though there wasn’t much to pack, just some bags.

After tidying up her stall, her eyes sparkling brightly, she said to Xia Chuyi, “Idol, let’s go!”

Even Xia Chuyi, who had lived for two lifetimes as an Old Monster, couldn’t help but marvel at how energetic young people were.

Fortunately, due to Qian Qianqian’s cheerful personality, the awkwardness that Xia Chuyi had previously worried about didn’t exist at all.

Soon, the two of them arrived at “Youwei.”

“Brother, I’m back!” Xia Chuyi greeted Xia Chengzong.

“Chuyi, you’re back, hurry up and start learning to…” He couldn’t finish saying “practice your writing” as he noticed the person Xia Chuyi had brought back.

“Who is this?” Xia Chengzong asked his sister.

“Bro, her name is Qian Qianqian. She’s the person I plan to hire to help out at our shop,” Xia Chuyi replied.

“Hello, big brother, my name is Qian Qianqian. You can call me Qianqian,” Qian Qianqian greeted him very openly. “Have you not finished cleaning up here? Let me help!”

Placing her bags on the table, Qian Qianqian squeezed past Xia Chengzong and began working.

Xia Chengzong: …

Xia Chengzong, whose place had been taken, silently stepped aside, feeling somewhat helpless.

Xia Chuyi, on the other hand, was quite satisfied.

Qian Qianqian was enthusiastic and adaptable, just the kind of management partner she would need for the future.

Only to hear Qian Qianqian say while working, “Chuyi, I’m very efficient at work. If you hired me to help out at the shop, I assure you, you wouldn’t have to worry about a thing!”

Help out?

Xia Chuyi smiled inwardly.

Her expectations for Qian Qianqian were more than just helping out.

Xia Chengzong glanced at Qian Qianqian, who had made herself at home, and then at his composed sister and finally said, “Chuyi, go study!”

Xia Chuyi: …

“Okay, I’ll go study.” Her adaptability wasn’t strong enough yet, “Then, brother, I’ll leave Qianqian in your care.”

Xia Chuyi went into the room, and when it was time to cook, she rolled up her sleeves and came out to work during “rest time.” She saw her brother sitting frustratedly at the side while Qian Qianqian happily bounced about, busily working.

“Bro, what’s wrong?” she asked.

“This girl… she’s just too eager to help,” he complained.

Xia Chuyi chuckled.

“Bro, since when do bosses complain about their staff being too diligent?”

Xia Chengzong scratched his head, “It’s not that, it’s just… I feel particularly useless.”

Xia Chuyi shook her head.

After a while, she finally understood why her brother had said so.
