She knows better than anyone what she wants, and she lives life with great clarity.
But... Zhou Qiqi still felt it was a pity: "So you're planning to quit your job here and go back to selling flowers?"
"I didn't intend to quit!"
Zhao Damei quickly waved her hand, clearly having already made up her mind.
"I'll definitely work for Sister Li Ping. I can earn at least fifty yuan a month. My whole family's livelihood depends on this job! I'm thinking..."
Her eyes were sparkling.
"We close up shop here at six o'clock every afternoon. It's still light at six o'clock. I'll go to the residential compound for a while, or go to the movie theater entrance to set up a small stall and sell flowers and plants for two hours. I'll come back when it gets dark. That way, I can do two jobs without interfering with each other!"
"That's too much work!"
Zhou Qiqi felt sorry for him. He was busy from six in the morning to eight at night without taking a break. Even a person made of iron couldn't withstand that.
"What's so hard about it? I'll only feel at ease if I earn more money!"
A loud voice broke in; Li Ping had been standing nearby, clearly having overheard their conversation.
She put her hands on her hips, a smile of admiration on her face, "Big Mei, you have great ideas! Just like Qi Qi, you're both capable!"
She patted Zhao Damei on the shoulder and said very decisively.
"From now on, you'll leave at five o'clock! There aren't many people in the market after five, so I can keep an eye on things by myself!"
Zhao Damei blushed instantly and rubbed her hands shyly.
"Sister Ping, then... then could you reduce my salary a bit? I'll work one hour less."
"What do you mean, 'lower'? Do you think I'm that kind of person, Sister Ping?"
Li Ping waved her hand decisively, leaving no room for argument.
"You've been a huge help to me during your time here. I've already given you a raise, so how could I possibly lower your wages? Just go for it! I support you!"
Zhao Damei's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Her eyes were a little red, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand before finally managing to utter a sentence.
"Well... thank you, Sister Ping."
Zhou Qiqi felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched this scene.
She reached out and took Zhao Damei's arm, smiling as she spoke.
"I'm going to the garment factory later, and I'll come find you tonight. Let's go to the military dependents' area together!"
Zhao Damei nodded vigorously, and a smile bloomed on her face again.
