"I'll take you to see someone. She said she is your friend who was injured in the barber shop." The little boy said this with a handful of candy in his hand.

Zhang Yulian understood immediately after hearing this, and she quickly took the little boy away from the courtyard.

The little boy led Zhang Yulian and walked along, and finally stopped at the end of an alley.

"How is it? Did you feel good at work these two days?" Hao Ying said to Zhang Yulian, standing at the end of the alley with his hands in his pockets.

"Why do you come to me in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid that our secret will be exposed?" Zhang Yulian didn't expect Hao Ying to be so bold. This alley is only a few hundred meters away from the courtyard.

If an acquaintance passed by on the way and spread some words to Jiang Xun and Ye Li's ears, their plans would be ruined.

"What's there to be afraid of? Why are you so timid? I came to ask you if you have made any discoveries recently?" Hao Ying asked Zhang Yulian.

"It's only been a few days. How could there be any discovery?" Zhang Yulian denied.

"I'm telling you, don't try to fool me. Since I can give you a job, I can also take it back! You haven't brought me any news in these few days, so I have to think about whether I still want to use you?" Hao Ying was not someone who could be easily manipulated. After she finished speaking, Zhang Yulian's face turned ugly.

...

...

Zhang Yulian's mind was still very simple, but after hearing what Hao Ying said, she began to panic.

She had only been working at the barber shop for a few days and couldn't afford to lose her job again. She had just realized how prestigious and secure it was to have a respectable job.

I still remember how happy and proud Zhao Ximei was when Zhang Yulian secretly told her that she had found a job.

So she was determined not to lose this job!

"Did you find out anything? If you don't bring me anything today, I can replace you tomorrow! You decide!"

In fact, Hao Ying didn't know whether Zhang Yulian had found out the news. She just wanted to trick Zhang Yulian, just in case Zhang Yulian's heart was still with the Jiang family and she was unwilling to betray Ye Li.

I didn't expect that Hao Ying could really trick me into revealing such a big thing.

"Don't do that! I've only been working here for a few days. You can't just kick me out like that." Zhang Yulian looked at Hao Ying with a stern face. She was very dissatisfied with the fact that she didn't get any information. After struggling for a while, she finally decided to tell Hao Ying about Ye Li's affair.

"I say! Ye Li must have some tricks up his sleeve outside, and it must be related to clothing!" Zhang Yulian said.

"Oh? Why are you so sure?" Hao Ying was immediately delighted when she heard what Zhang Yulian said.

She was indeed a silly girl from the countryside. She exposed the other party's true colors with just a few words.

Zhang Yulian told Hao Ying about Ye Li and Jiang Sui looking at the blueprints.

After listening to this, Hao Ying thought about it seriously, and then she continued to ask: "Then who do you think they are going to sell the stolen design drawings from the factory to?"

"I'm not sure about that, but I seemed to hear something in the village..." Zhang Yulian thought for a moment and replied.

"Give the drawings to the village? Did you hear me right?" Hao Ying was confused. Why would the countryside need drawings? If they wanted to sell drawings and designs, they should sell them to the big garment factories in the city.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Hao Ying always felt that there was something wrong with the information Zhang Yulian gave her.

"No, absolutely not! I've only been paying attention to it for a few days. You have to give me time. Only I can access this information. If you replace someone else, it will definitely be more difficult than me!" Zhang Yulian said.

"Hey, you have learned to fight for opportunities for yourself. That's progress! Okay, you can find out more carefully. Report to me as soon as there is anything. Don't make me come to you all the time." Hao Ying waved her hand, signaling Zhang Yulian to leave quickly.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yulian immediately turned around and left, fearing that others would find out that she and Hao Ying knew each other.

Zhang Yulian returned to the barber shop, and unexpectedly met Nie Fan there.

"Are you... Zhang Yulian?" Nie Fan couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Zhang Yulian here, still wearing the store's work clothes.

"Yes. You are my eldest sister-in-law's younger brother." Zhang Yulian had seen Nie Fan several times at home, so she recognized him at a glance.

"Yes, you work here. Was it your sister-in-law who introduced you to this job?" Nie Fan thought that it was Ye Li who found the job for Zhang Yulian, so he said it casually.

"No... I found it myself."

When Zhang Yulian heard Nie Fan mention that Ye Li had found a job for her, she immediately felt indignant, but she did not show any unhappiness on her face.

"That's great. I'll bring a few buddies to do the haircuts. Can you do it?" Nie Fan thought that Zhang Yulian was Jiang Xun's cousin, so he wanted to give Zhang Yulian a chance to do it.

"Not yet. I'm just an apprentice and need my master to teach me. But my master is very skilled. Please wait for me and I will call someone for you." Zhang Yulian said and went to find her master.

Zhang Yulian's craftsmanship is really good. He cut Nie Fan's hair and made it look very lively, especially Monkey, who had his hair permed into the most popular wavy style at the time.

That made the monkey so happy that he felt like a big star.

"Brother Fan, the craftsmanship here is really good. I will come here to get my hair cut from now on! It's a fixed place!" Monkey said and smoothed his fluffy hair handsomely with his hand.

"You are so conceited! Come on, let's go. My sister has assigned me a job, so hurry up and get going!" Nie Fan urged the brothers to set off quickly.

Before leaving, Monkey suddenly turned around and said to Zhang Yulian: "Hurry up and learn more from your master. When you have learned enough, I will come to you to cut your hair!"

When Zhang Yulian heard this, she immediately nodded with a red face.

"What are you hesitating about, monkey? Let's go!" Nie Fan nodded at Zhang Yulian, pulled the monkey and left.

After Hao Ying met Zhang Yulian, she kept thinking about what Zhang Yulian said. She thought of several possibilities, but rejected them one by one.

"Who will Ye Li sell these drawings to? What does the village have to do with this?" Hao Ying pondered as she walked.

Suddenly two old ladies passed by.

One of the old ladies said, "The cloth shoes you bought are too expensive! Let me tell you, everyone in our village can make these cloth shoes. Once they come to the city, they become very popular and sell for very high prices!"

The other old lady was not convinced and immediately retorted: "The cloth shoes you mentioned in the village are so ugly. How can they be compared with the cloth shoes in the city? The cloth shoes in the city are all designed by someone else, so they must be more expensive than those in the village!"

"That's right. The aesthetic taste of the villagers can't compare with that of the city people. Hey! I have an idea. I will draw the pattern of these cloth shoes for you, and you can go to the village to find two relatives to help me make two pairs. This way I can save some money, and your relatives can also earn some pocket money. How do you think?"

"Okay! It's settled!"

The two old ladies spoke very loudly, and it was hard for Hao Ying not to hear them.

But suddenly Hao Ying stopped walking, her eyes gleamed and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Ye Li, you're done!"
