Sister Li’s words were like a bomb, instantly detonating Shen Qiqi’s tense nerves.
She frowned, thinking that it was really a case of "misfortunes never come singly". What were these two people doing?
"What's going on?" Lu Qing's face darkened, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone.
Sister Li was panting and speaking incoherently, "They...they had a fight over what kind of work to do. Brother Zhang said Sister Li could only do light work, but Sister Li wasn't happy about it!"
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that now was not the time to deal with internal strife.
"Brother Qing, I'll go back and take a look first. You wait for my news here."
Without waiting for Lu Qing's reply, she rushed back in a hurry.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Brother Zhang and Sister Li arguing with each other, and the noise was so loud that it could blow the roof off.
"I told you you can't do heavy work!" Brother Zhang pointed at Sister Li with an unfriendly tone.
Sister Li was not to be outdone. She put her hands on her hips and loudly retorted, "Who said I can't do it? I can do anything!"
Shen Qiqi was overwhelmed by the noisy scene in front of her. They hadn't even started working and they were already fighting. She was really impressed!
She cleared her throat and yelled even louder than them, "Stop it!"
The room suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at her.
"Are you here to work or to quarrel?" Shen Qiqi walked up to the two of them, her eyes sharp and her tone tinged with anger. "Now that the loan hasn't been approved, you're already starting a quarrel. Can you be more courageous?"
Both Brother Zhang and Sister Li were stunned by Shen Qiqi's aura and were speechless for a moment.
"Everyone, sit down!" Shen Qiqi pointed at the stool next to her, her tone unquestionable.
The two of them sat down obediently, like two children who had done something wrong.
"The loan is still under review, but we can't wait for the results to come out before making any preparations. The most important thing now is to finalize the division of labor." Shen Qiqi glanced at everyone with a firm look in her eyes.
Everyone looked at each other, obviously not expecting Shen Qiqi to start arranging work so quickly.
"I've drawn up a preliminary division of labor plan based on everyone's situation." Shen Qiqi took out the paper she had prepared in advance and began to explain, "Brother Zhang, you are more familiar with this area, so you will be responsible for the overall operation. Sister Li, you are clever and skillful, so you can be responsible for production. As for the others..." She arranged them one by one, and everyone had a clear task.
Everyone listened to Shen Qiqi's arrangements and found that this division of labor plan was not only reasonable, but also fully took into account the characteristics of each person, and the doubts in their hearts also dissipated.
"How is it? Does anyone have any objections?" Shen Qiqi looked at everyone, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"No objection! It's great!" Everyone expressed their approval, and the atmosphere, which was tense just now, instantly became harmonious.
Shen Qiqi felt relieved when she saw that everyone approved of her arrangement.
The matter finally came to an end. She rubbed her swollen temples and was about to say something when Lu Qing came over with a glass of water.
He looked at Shen Qiqi tenderly, his eyes overflowing with love.
Lu Qing held a cup of steaming water and handed it to Shen Qiqi, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a fragile treasure.
"Qiqi, drink some water to moisten your throat." His eyes were so gentle that they could squeeze water out of them, full of heartache and love for her, as if she was the only one left in the whole world.
Shen Qiqi took the cup of water, and her fingertips touched Lu Qing's warm palm, and a warm current instantly surged into her heart.
She raised her eyes and met Lu Qing's affectionate eyes. Her heart was filled with gratitude. This man was really her anchor. With him around, any difficulties could be easily solved.
She took a sip of hot water, and a warmth spread from her throat to her whole body, and most of her fatigue dissipated.
"Huh——" Shen Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to say something to Lu Qing, she heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door.
Listening carefully, it turned out to be Uncle Lu's weird voice, buzzing like a fly.
"Hey, I heard that Shen Qiqi is messing around with some 'new industry' again? Tsk tsk, I see, it's just an empty shell. She might be able to fool laymen, but does she really think she can get a loan from the bank? I'm afraid it will be a waste of time. Let's see how she ends up then!" Uncle Lu's sarcastic voice was clearly heard by everyone in the room, like needles pricking people's hearts.
Brother Zhang's expression, which had originally relaxed, suddenly became gloomy again, his eyes full of suspicion, as if he was considering whether what Uncle Lu said was true.
Although Sister Li didn't say anything, she lowered her head silently, her eyes flickering. Obviously, Uncle Lu's words still affected her.
Shen Qiqi frowned tightly. Uncle Lu was really haunting her. She had finally managed to stabilize the morale of the troops, but this old guy came out to disrupt the situation again.
This is something that even my uncle can tolerate, but even my aunt can’t!
She put down her glass of water."
Before Lu Qing finished speaking, he saw Shen Qiqi rushed out the door in a hurry, leaving him stunned. He sighed helplessly and had to follow her, thinking, this girl is really a little hot pepper, she can be easily provoked.
"Uncle Lu, what did you mean by what you said just now?" Shen Qiqi stood in front of Uncle Lu, with her hands on her hips, a hint of hostility in her tone, her eyes as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Uncle Lu.
Uncle Lu was stunned for a moment when he saw Shen Qiqi's aggressive look, then he returned to his weird expression, curled his lips, and said, "What? Am I wrong? Look, look, what tricks is she going to do again?" After that, he pointed at Shen Qiqi.
Seeing Uncle Lu's expression, Shen Qiqi became even more angry. He was really an old cancer that had to be removed. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"Okay, Uncle Lu, let's wait and see!" Shen Qiqi sneered and turned to walk towards Brother Zhang and Sister Li.
