"You!" Xu Zhaoming wanted to retort, but the truth was undeniable, and he quickly lost his composure. "You... what's your plan?"
Seeing that she was finally going to cooperate, Xu Zhaoyue started chatting with her, "I'm short a batch of medicinal herbs, but there's a difficult place to pass through on the way. I can't solve this problem. If only my father could go there himself for a few days."
"Huh? Out of stock? This is a big deal! If we don't have the herbs, we can't produce anything!" Xu Zhaoming hadn't even had time to be happy when he saw Xu Zhaoyue's pale face. Afraid of being exposed, she immediately changed the subject, "Who's going to tell Father? Isn't this your pharmaceutical factory?"
"I definitely can't talk about my pharmaceutical factory, otherwise it would be too obvious. I remember there's also Western medicine transported on that route. You could just say that there are problems with both Western and Chinese medicine. Anyway, it takes more than eight days to go round trip, which is enough time for Xiao Hao to sign up."
Xu Zhaoyue had already explained things to this extent, so it would be foolish for Xu Zhaoming not to understand. "Okay, I understand. I will definitely handle this matter well. By the way, are you in a hurry for those medicinal herbs?"
"I originally planned to showcase this medicine at the anniversary celebration, but the lack of stock will definitely be a problem. So don't worry, even if you made up the Western medicine, I really did have a batch of medicinal herbs blocked." Xu Zhaoyue was reassuring her.
Xu Zhaoming wasn't concerned about whether her medicine would work; having the herbs on the way would make things much easier. "Alright, alright, I'll go and think of a way right away."
Xu Zhaoming's solution was to hand the matter over to Assistant Qi. "This... okay, I'll take care of it right away." Assistant Qi nodded on the surface, but in his heart, he began to consider whether he could use this opportunity to push the medicine onto Manager Yuan.
That evening, when Xu Zhaoyue went to report to Xu Guangcai, she was indeed criticized for being too hasty and for not being attentive enough. However, she brushed it off, saying that she would go to the He family to persuade them again, since there was still time.
Xu Guangcai also felt that there was still time. Anyway, Xu Zhaohao was there and couldn't run away to anywhere else. That's why he asked Xu Zhaoyue to think of more ways. It was okay to be a little tough when necessary. Xu Zhaoyue agreed on the surface.
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Xu Guangcai received news that there was a problem with a batch of goods. The person on the phone was stammering and couldn't explain clearly, so he took his men directly to the site to resolve the issue.
Xu Zhaoyue learned of this news while having breakfast. It was the housekeeper who came over specifically to tell her. Although it seemed like the housekeeper was the one who came to inform her, the housekeeper actually gave her special instructions regarding Xu Zhaohao.
"Yes, I understand, Butler Xu. I'll handle Xiao Hao's matter. By the way, Yue Lanxing stayed home today, so you can test him on how well he's been learning lately."
"Really? Speaking of which, Lanxing has almost finished reading all my books. It's good to be young." Butler Xu looked at Yue Lanxing standing next to the young lady and praised him.
Xu Zhaoyue also looked up at Yue Lanxing. He had been training for the past two days, trying to use a few days to surpass what others had taken months or years to achieve. He was really competitive, but he had the ability to do so.
“What’s the use of just reading books? Now we can teach him some of the Xu family’s social etiquette. After the anniversary celebration, there will definitely be a banquet, and I’ll be sending him to do some errands then,” Xu Zhaoyue said.
When Butler Xu heard that the eldest young lady had said so, he naturally agreed. It seems that his position will be given to Yue Lanxing from now on. The second young lady thought that the eldest young lady's appointment of Yue Lanxing as butler was a sudden whim. What's the use of just eyeing that small position in the company?
After breakfast, Xu Zhaoyue went to work, while Yue Lanxing stayed at home to wait for the Han family to deliver the goods. Of course, before that, she had to learn how to manage accounts from Butler Xu.
"Let's make some silver needle tea today..." Xu Zhaoyue was used to Yue Lanxing following her into the office, making tea and chatting with her. She instinctively turned around to speak but suddenly stopped. Yue Lanxing wasn't behind her, and for the first time, she couldn't find him when she turned around.
Only Yue Lanxing would come in; Xue Huzi and Tian Dai would stop at the door and not come in. Xu Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment, then she took matters into her own hands and started preparing the food.
Watching the rising aroma of tea, Xu Zhaoyue couldn't help but think that Yue Lanxing had been acting strangely these past few days, and that she herself had been acting strangely too.
Xu Zhaoyue enjoys self-analysis, deconstructing her different desires and constantly digging into the underlying logic that governs her emotions. She feels a sense of satisfaction when she sees the true nature of her own humanity, which may be why she was chosen by the system.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Zhaoyue picked up her teacup and took a sip. She had fallen in love with Yue Lanxing, which was why she made him stay with her after Xiao Hao left, to let him know her ambition. Even her younger brother, whom she had raised as her son for so many years, could not compete with her. From childhood to adulthood, there was only what she didn't want, and no one could take it away from her.
However, Yue Lanxing's performance that day seemed acceptable; he showed no surprise whatsoever. He entered the Xu family because of an allergic reaction, so he probably wouldn't leave easily.
Xu Zhaoyue thought about how Yue Lanxing had been behaving strangely these past few days, as if he was closer to her than before. She always felt that he was avoiding her before. Could it be that he had discovered that he wouldn't have an allergic reaction when he was with her, which was why he was behaving this way?
Upon further reflection, Yue Lanxing indeed wouldn't joke around with the maids in the villa, and they would even keep a distance of several steps when speaking to each other. When she first came into contact with Yue Lanxing, Yue Lanxing thought she might have an allergic reaction to her, which was already quite rare.
How would Yue Lanxing feel knowing that he wouldn't be allergic to her?
Xu Zhaoyue felt that this reason was reasonable to explain Yue Lanxing's approach, but now that she had made up her mind, this reason was no longer enough.
