Chapter 555: Chapter 555: My Own Sister is Awesome (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
"Second Brother, should I just sneak away?" Bai Xiao whispered to him.
An Zhiyuan peeled the egg without changing his expression, "Don’t even think about it! Aren’t you afraid Big Sister will panic? When she comes storming into Yun Province with a large troop, that will be a sight to see. Don’t forget, New Year’s is coming, and everyone will have time to personally hunt you down." He placed the egg in her bowl.
Bai Xiao sighed, "Why is living our own life so difficult?" The whiny tone of her voice was quite endearing.
After finishing the dumplings in front of him, delicious, even after having them yesterday, he still hadn’t had his fill. The taste of the North was different from the South, where it was mostly rice, which Bai Xiao was almost sick of.
"You’d better just help your big sister and brother-in-law with their idea, or else, you can’t leave."
The two ate their meal obediently; An Zhiyuan urged Bai Xiao to entertain the three whose necks were craning in the living room, while he took his bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen to clean up.
Bai Ju saw her sister casually strolling over, and hearing An Zhiyuan’s clattering in the kitchen, felt a bit uneasy. Her sister, acting like a laid-back shopkeeper, was living too comfortably; she hoped that wouldn’t make Colonel An look down on her.
She scolded Bai Xiao in a low voice, "How can you let Colonel An do the dishes? We really aren’t short on time."
Couples must live together. If Bai Xiao was too capricious, it would inevitably lead to marital discord.
"Why can’t Colonel An do the dishes? Sis, let’s not fixate on this, it’s between the two of us. What did you come to talk about today?" Bai Xiao knew that this time it was mostly He Weng wanting to understand the operation. If it weren’t for He Weng saying the method was feasible, Bai Ju and He Wang probably wouldn’t be in such a hurry.
"Bai Xiao, I’ve heard from my brother-in-law about your idea; it’s amazing. I really didn’t expect that although you’re not a business person, you have such a keen intuition for market fluctuations and trends. Your suggestion is just too impressive," He Weng who had seen much of the world, especially the cities in the south that were at the forefront of reforms, had different experiences from other places.
"So, my method is feasible?"
"Feasible! Absolutely feasible! Your idea really opened my eyes. I couldn’t believe such a casual idea from you could be so powerful; it’s like turning stone into gold. I must say, Bai Xiao, you’re really a genius," He Weng was extremely admiring, as if completely convinced.
He Wang didn’t understand the details, but knowing that He Weng said Bai Xiao’s method was powerful, he couldn’t help feeling happy. His younger brother had been very successful in business over the years, having sent them money more than once. Now, his younger brother’s wholesale clothing business had taken over more than half of the provincial city’s market, driving smoothly all the way. Not to mention that now, his younger brother even drove his own car.
He couldn’t help feeling a sense of competitive pride. After all, his younger brother once relied on them, and now that their roles had suddenly reversed, it stirred He Wang’s competitive male ego. If his younger brother could do so well, could he be any less capable?
It was clear to him that he had eaten more salt in his lifetime than his younger brother had eaten rice. He didn’t believe he would fail.
"Ah Weng, are you saying this is a good opportunity?" It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Bai Xiao; after all, she was a doctor, not a businessperson. Business acumen shouldn’t be taken for granted. He Weng was different; he had been clawing his way through the industry for more than a year, and comparatively, he was more inclined to trust He Weng.
This had nothing to do with trust but was simply human nature.
"Yes! A good opportunity indeed! Big Brother, if you really take this on, you might end up doing great, becoming really powerful," He Weng encouraged.
Bai Ju couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile.
Her little sister was indeed remarkable.
