Chapter 18: Live Uprightly
After all, important supplies were lost in the warehouse, and Butler Zhu hoped to recover them as soon as possible, and using the roster to assist in counting the existing inventory was actually a very reasonable thing to do.
Maybe she was overthinking it and complicating things.
Tonight is Saturday night.
As usual, Chen Yan and Song Weiwei would leave the manor and go to the market to sell homemade cleaning products, so that they could achieve good sales results the next day.
But today there is a special situation.
Their dormitory is also very messy.
We can't leave Zhao Xiaolan alone.
It's so unfair and inconsiderate of others to do this.
After get off work, Shen Yan and Song Weiwei met in the garden: "We won't be setting up the stall tonight, right? Shouldn't we tidy up our room first?"
However, this method was quickly overturned by them.
That’s a street stall business where everyone can earn 2,100 yuan every night!
But, it won’t work if we ignore the dormitory.
So, they quickly came up with a compromise: first, go back to the dormitory together and clean up their things to the best of their ability;
Try to finish the dormitory work as quickly as possible, and then start setting up the stall as soon as possible!
When they returned to the dormitory, they found Zhao Xiaolan already sorting out the messy things.
Zhao Xiaolan stopped what she was doing, glanced at them, and said coldly, "Let's wait until you come back. I don't know how long that will take!"
“I don’t want to live in a messy place.”
Chen Yan and Song Weiwei no longer hesitated and quickly joined in to help sort things out.
After a short while, the dormitory was finally cleaned up.
The dormitory is much tidier now than it was at noon.
The originally messy desk and bedding were now neatly arranged.
Then all they had left to do was wash the sheets, pillowcases, and clothes.
There was a faucet on the balcony and another in the bathroom. They each took a spot and started washing clothes.
I felt much more relaxed while washing the clothes in my hands and chatting.
At this moment, Shen Yan remembered the second time Zhao Xiaolan had warned her, asking her to be careful.
Just last Sunday, the night they came home from a big sale.
Everyone was exhausted at the time and just wanted to have a good rest.
That night, Zhao Xiaolan first complained that she and Song Weiwei smelled bad, and then told her to be careful recently.
Shen Yan asked Zhao Xiaolan what she meant, but she didn't elaborate.
After leaving only these words, he returned to his bed.
After Zhao Xiaolan first reminded her, her plan was stolen;
The second time I was reminded was when the factory accident and the Gao Xiaolin incident happened.
Could it be that Zhao Xiaolan knows something about these things?
How did she get the news? Did she have any special source of information?
Shen Yan was scrubbing the clothes, she really wanted to know the answer.
"Xiaolan, before the Gao Xiaolin incident and the factory accident, did you know anything about the inside story?" Shen Yan finally couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Xiaolan was washing clothes that had been touched by others at the faucet on the balcony, frowning.
Originally, when Shen Yan asked, she didn't want to say anything more.
But thinking about how they had been to the Song family together, set up a stall together, and stayed overnight together, Zhao Xiaolan finally spoke up.
"Last week, my sister told me that Bai Fengzhu in our dormitory knows a lot of people."
"This Bai Fengzhu not only has a good relationship with Uncle Qian who cleans the warehouse, but she can even be connected to Master He in the factory."
"One day, my sister was dining out when she happened to see Bai Fengzhu having dinner with Uncle Qian and Master He from the factory."
"Because she knew Bai Fengzhu was our roommate, she specifically shared this information with me."
"I think, since Bai Fengzhu works as a cleaner, and Uncle Qian has a bad reputation in the manor, plus that Master He who has nothing to do with them."
"There's something suspicious about these three people who seem to have nothing in common getting together."
"What good do you think will come from them getting together?"
"I just mentioned it to you casually."
After hearing this, Shen Yan suddenly understood.
It turned out that the reason why Master He was dissatisfied with her and deliberately targeted her every time he saw her was that there was someone behind the scenes doing bad things.
There was also Zhou Mingcheng from the guard post, who also caused trouble for her for no reason.
If no one had tipped her off in advance, how could these people be so unfriendly to her before they even met!
Even if she hates me and wants to teach her a lesson, there should at least be a conflict after we have contact!
It turns out that Bai Fengzhu was behind all this!
After the truth came to light, everyone suddenly realized.
Bai Fengzhu actually hid so many thoughts, it's really hard to guard against.
It turned out that Bai Fengzhu hated her to this extent!
Song Weiwei rubbed her clothes viciously and said with gritted teeth, "Bai Fengzhu has such a vicious heart!"
"What on earth have we done to her that she has decided to harm us from the very beginning?"
From ancient times to the present, human hearts have always been the most difficult to understand.
Chen Yan scrubbed the clothes expressionlessly, "Jealous, hateful, and unable to accept others."
"These negative emotions have changed Bai Fengzhu beyond recognition."
Zhao Xiaolan was terrified. "This kind of person with a twisted mentality has such an ugly expression on his face!"
"It's so disgusting to do this kind of thing!"
Shen Yan was in a hurry, so she quickly wrung out the water from the clothes, shook them a few times, and then hung them up to dry, "Who said it wasn't."
As she spoke, she quickly handled the clothes in her hands, her movements skillful and decisive.
"You can't stand seeing others doing well, and you yourself look like neither a human nor a ghost. It's so shameful."
Song Weiwei had just finished washing clothes and she started wringing them out, preparing to hang them up.
Her heart tightened and she shuddered, "I don't want to become like this!"
"I'd rather eat less and dress worse than do something that would ruin my image just to be better!"
Shen Yan smiled and said, "Haha, that's not the case."
"What's wrong with wanting to dress well and eat well?"
"There's nothing wrong with pursuing progress; the key lies in whether the means we take are justified."
"If we act honestly and don't harm others, then what's wrong with pursuing better development and advancement?"
"However, if, in the process of climbing up, we resort to despicable means to harm others, or even to pull others down for our own benefit, this behavior is extremely shameful!"
"Right!" Song Weiwei nodded vigorously. "The most important thing is whether the means are reasonable, not the motives."
At this moment, Song Weiwei seemed to suddenly understand something.
Working together with Shen Yan is definitely the right choice!
Doing this will not only bring you material rewards, but also allow you to live a decent life!
She felt that she was so lucky to have made a good friend like Shen Yan!
