Chapter 576: Chapter 483 Picking Up Sister (Please Subscribe!)_1
"Listening to Li Kai, Tang Qing really felt that he had grown.
’Not bad, you really grasped it, I believe Uncle Li would be very pleased.’ Tang Qing said with a laugh.
’Mm.’ If it had been the old Li Kai, he would have been over the moon with pride at such praise, but he didn’t have that feeling now. Experience safe to say, is the quickest and most effective teacher.
Tang Qing laughed softly and continued to focus on driving.
Tang Qing recalled a phrase he’d read in his previous life, ’Actions determine thoughts, not the other way around.’
To put it bluntly, preaching high morals is useless.
Experience is the only effective teacher.
Like a glowing red furnace in front of you, despite being warned not to touch it, it’s hard to resist. But once you touch it and get hurt, you’ll truly remember. It’s the same as learning something with someone standing beside you ready to hit you if you don’t do it right.
Experience proves that this method is extremely effective, but it is not advocated. After all, the shortcut does not necessarily mean fast, it comes with its own costs.
Life is all about experiences.
Growth within those experiences.
Understanding through said growth.
Grasping the truth about those experiences. Have the opportunity to do more, just do it right.
Five hours later.
The car arrived in Qingyan City. Tang Qing first dropped Feng Sen off, gathering lots of snacks, including Crispy meat that Feng Sen brought for Dou Jiao last time. He started eating right away, with Lin Jiaxue feeding him bite by bite.
Then there was Li Kai, who was sent directly to the Seafood Restaurant.
However, Lin Jiaxue didn’t go home, but went to her uncle Qin Yugang’s house because they were having dinner together that night.
Qin Yugang’s home.
’Auntie.’
’Auntie.’
’Ah, Tangtang, Jiaxue, you’re finally back. I missed you so much.’ Seeing Tang Qing, the aunt who was watching TV stood up and said happily. It had been over twenty days since she had seen Tang Qing, and she had missed him. However, knowing she could only see him once in the next few months, she gradually forced herself to adapt.
’Auntie, where’s uncle? Hasn’t he returned yet?’ Tang Qing asked.
’He has, but he forgot to buy something this afternoon. Your mom is on her way as well.’ The aunt took the snacks from Tang Qing’s hand and placed them on the tea table.
’Where are Shiqi and Shiyu? Finished with work yet?’
’Yes, they still have one more hour of work. They’re tired every day this week, but your two sisters insisted on working for a full month.’ The aunt couldn’t help laughing. Qin Shiqi, who used to love sleeping in, now always woke up first, prepared her own food, then hurried to go to work with her little sister. It felt even busier than going to school.
’As long as they can stick to it. I’ll pick them up in a while.’ He naturally knew about the performance of his two cousins because they had a special daily report sent to him every day by the store manager.
’Okay, I used to pick them up, but you can do it today.’ Aunt nodded.
’Alright.’
When he was finished speaking, Tang Qing went back to his room with his suitcase. Lin Jiaxue hurried after him after saying a word to her aunt, helping him sort his clothes and washing the clothes he had changed out of that morning.
After a while, uncle Qin Yugang returned home. They chatted about what they had seen and heard in Thailand. Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Qing drove to pick up his two cousins.
In the flagship store of Sheng Tang Group.
As closing time approached, the business in the store began to slump. This was not a large shopping center that stayed open until late at night.
Qin Shiqi and Qin Shiyu also had some free time. But they didn’t do nothing they just sorted out clothes. Clothes, to be honest, unlike shoes, are never going to be perfectly arranged for someone with OCD like Qin Shiyu. Any disarray in the store’s clothes made her want to fix it. Qin Shiqi also joined in, since there weren’t many customers left.
’Sister, do you think brother will come to pick us up?’ Qin Shiqi asked.
’Yes.’ Qin Shiyu casually gave her a one-word answer.
’Why?’ Qin Shiqi asked, curious.
’Guess.’
’...’
Qin Shiqi was speechless.
Looking at her watch, it was almost time to close. Store manager Jiang Yue, who had been noticing Qin Shiqi’s behavior, came over quickly and asked kindly, ’Shiqi, Shiyu, do you have anything urgent today?’
Seeing that her ’laziness’ was noticed, Qin Shiqi stuck her tongue out and said, ’Sister Jiang, it’s not a big deal, my brother is just coming home tonight.’
When Jiang Yue heard this, she was taken aback.
Isn’t Qin Shiqi’s brother the chairman? The chairman is coming back from travel?
’You mean your cousin Tang Qing.’ Jiang Yue confirmed in a low voice. Through previous conversations and fawning, Jiang Yue had already asked about the family situation of Qin Shiqi, especially their chairman Tang Qing, who was the key focus. When she heard that Tang Qing was being bullied and roughed up by this cousin at home, she could only send a ’hehe’ in response to Jiang Yue, but also gave her thumbs up.
Siblings should behave like this, only then do they feel like a real family.
Qin Shiqi didn’t notice Jiang Yue’s abnormal behavior and nodded, ’Yeah, him. He just came back from a trip to Thailand and has been hanging out in Beijing for a few days. Humph, wait till I get home, I’ll make sure to interrogate him.’
Jiang Yue wiped a nonexistent cold sweat and said, ’How about you go home early, there’s only fifteen minutes left, you two can leave early today.’
Qin Shiqi shook her head vigorously, saying, ’No, we can’t do that, how can we leave our work to our sisters.’ Everyone in the store had been especially kind to them, they always had a share of whatever food they got.
At first, the shop assistants were a little uncomfortable, thinking that two ’masters’ had come to the shop. But after these days of interaction, they gradually grew to like these two sisters with distinctive personalities.
One was lively and bubbly, everyone’s happiness.
The other one was so cute and lovely that they all felt an urge to protect her.
Jiang Yue wanted to say something else.
"Shiqi, are you off work?" A male voice sounded at the entrance of the store.
Hearing this voice, Qin Shiqi turned her head and saw Tang Qing coming in from the entrance.
"Brother, why are you here?" Qin Shiqi rushed over and gave him a big hug. She missed Tang Qing a lot. Though she usually chatters a lot, it doesn’t affect their sibling bond.
"Shiqi, there are so many people here, be more ladylike," Tang Qing patted her on the back.
"Hmph, wait until we get home and I’ll make you pay," Qin Shiqi released Tang Qing, her eyes gleaming defiance.
Tang Qing was not under pressure at all. Just bribe Qin Shiqi with some red envelopes. He had plenty, three to five hundred would be enough.
"Alright, alright, you can get me later. Do you still have any work left?" Tang Qing asked.
Qin Shiqi shook her head and whispered, "No, but it’s not good to leave work early, my sister and I are organizing clothes."
"So you’re basically finished, right? It’s just a few minutes from the end of your shift. Collect your things and change clothes," Tang Qing looked at Qin Shiqi in her Sheng Tang uniform. Not to mention, this Sheng Tang sales uniform really looked good on her. It was bright red and made of silk, combining the essence of a cheongsam and a working uniform, it was like a work of art.
As the face of Sheng Tang, if their uniforms weren’t top-notch, they wouldn’t have any right to call themselves a high-end brand.
The price they paid was the uniforms’ high cost, up to three hundred and sixty yuan each.
"Uh, sister, let’s go change." Seeing Jiang Yue nod, Qin Shiqi called out to Qin Shiyu. She knew that Tang Qing was familiar with the store’s owner, so Jiang Yue’s respectful attitude did not surprise her.
"Mm."
With that, the two of them went to the employees’ changing room at the back of the store.
At this moment,
Jiang Yue hurried over and respectfully said, "Good day, Director."
Tang Qing nodded with a smile, "Manager Jiang, you’re working hard."
"Not at all, it’s my job. Shiqi and Shiyu are both very dedicated, we all like them a lot," Jiang Yue quickly responded.
"Mm, keep it up. I don’t want them to find out who I am just yet," said Tang Qing.
"Yes, Chairman," Jiang Yue eagerly acknowledged.
After that conversation, the bored Tang Qing began wandering around the store. The clothes have changed a lot since he last visited, there are more styles and designs now. However, Tang Qing wasn’t really interested in buying any; it wasn’t about the price, but his wardrobe was already too full. There were still tons of clothes in Sheng Tang’s office.
What a problem!
He couldn’t just donate them all, right? They were all gifts from Qi Yan and others. It seemed he would have to bring them to Shanghai next time he visits. His villa there was large enough to accommodate all of it.
"Bro, we’re ready." Qin Shiqi emerged from the changing room, her attire changed from a dainty salesgirl’s uniform to the casual style of a girl-next-door.
Tang Qing checked his watch, there were two minutes until the end of their shift. He said to Jiang Yue, "Manager Jiang, we’ll head out first."
"Yes, have a safe trip," Jiang Yue was so flustered she almost said ’welcome back anytime’.
"Sister Jiang, goodbye. Sister Liu, and all the sisters, see you tomorrow."
Qin Shiqi greeted everyone she was familiar with, Qin Shiyu was still a bit shy and did not have Qin Shiqi’s loud voice. Her greetings could be heard throughout the entire store, at most she just waved goodbye.
Tang Qing led the two sisters out of the store and towards the Mercedes-Benz.
Watching Tang Qing’s group disappear from view, the cashier quickly moved closer and exclaimed, "Sister Jiang, was that our chairman?" The other staff perked up their ears.
Jiang Yue regained her managerial composure: "Yes, he’s the chairman of our Sheng Tang Group."
"Wow, so young."
"So handsome."
"I felt like I just saw a prince on a white horse."
"Too bad you’re not a princess."
"Can’t you let me fantasize for a while?"
No, daydreaming is not good."
"..."
In the car,
In the passenger seat,
Qin Shiqi pleaded pitifully, "Brother, after we finish our one-month training, could you ask your friend to make me two uniforms like the one I just wore, but without the logo? That uniform is really nice. A lot of customers ask me if we sell that design, but it’s exclusive to Sheng Tang and they don’t sell it. If you agree, I promise I won’t give you a hard time later."
Tang Qing was speechless. He never expected Qin Shiqi to make such a request.
"Alright, no problem, I promise you," Tang Qing said. Dare he say ’no’? Obviously, he couldn’t.
"Hehe, brother is the best."
"The best? But you still plan on settling scores with me." 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
"Nonsense, that’s my way of expressing affection."
"...Your logic is impeccable. I have no comeback."
