Wei Mingyue saw that it was no use, because she didn't accept her words at all! She could only catch up with her and deliberately took her arm affectionately, saying, "Cousin, I have nothing to do at home, so how about going with you?"
Xie Wanyun finally lost his patience and nodded. "If you don't mind being bored, come on."
Wei Mingyue almost laughed out loud! She hadn't expected it to go so smoothly. She had originally thought that Xie Wanyun was afraid of her identity as Wei's niece and was unwilling to interact with her, but now she could rest assured.
After getting on the carriage, Wei Mingyue started to find some topics to talk about, chattering all the way. Xie Wanyun just listened quietly, occasionally replying a word or two.
The two of them came to Huarong, and Xie Wanyun asked the shopkeeper as usual and checked the store's cash flow.
Wei Mingyue looked at the various exquisite rouge and powder, her eyes shining with envy.
Coming out of the shop, Wei Mingyue, unlike her previous excited look, became worried.
Xie Wanyun remained calm and observed her reaction.
"Cousin-in-law." Wei Mingyue made expressions for a long time, but Xie Wanyun did not respond. She felt a little discouraged and had to speak.
"Um, what's up?"
"Cousin, I know you have some disagreements with my aunt and cousin. But don't worry, I will never favor them just because they are my blood relatives. As a woman, I understand your difficulties better." Wei Mingyue said very sincerely.
"Thank you, cousin."
"Cousin, don't be so polite. Just call me Mingyue." Wei Mingyue thought to herself, her aunt said Xie Wanyun was made of ice, and it really was true. She had been flattering her for a long time, but Xie Wanyun didn't even respond!
"I'm sure my cousin-in-law also knows that my father has been in office and hasn't been back for many years. He has also had a mistress a long time ago and has forgotten me and my mother. Our life is...very difficult." Wei Mingyue's eyes turned red as she spoke.
"Yeah, I know." Xie Wanyun nodded.
Wei Mingyue was having a real headache! Her words had been so obvious, yet Xie Wanyun didn't even give her a way out?
"Cousin, I have an unreasonable request. I wonder if you will think I am being presumptuous?" She went around in circles for a long time, but Xie Wanyun didn't ask her first, so she had to speak up herself.
"Speak." Xie Wanyun said briefly.
"I want to learn how to do some business from my cousin's wife and make some money so that I can serve my mother. But I'm afraid my cousin's wife will think I'm stupid." Wei Mingyue's heart was pounding, afraid of being rejected.
Xie Wanyun thought, finally she said it. It was hard for her to lay the groundwork for this for so long.
He deliberately remained silent. Seeing Wei Mingyue's expression change, he slowly said, "It's good that you have such filial piety. I'm sure you've heard that I also want to find a few trustworthy people to help me manage the business. I'm really too busy to handle it alone. If you really want to learn, I'll take you with me."
With a clang, Wei Mingyue's heart finally settled. It was done! She had finally lived up to her aunt and cousin's expectations, and she couldn't help but beam with joy.
Xie Wanyun sneered inwardly, but his expression remained calm. "How about this? Huarong ordered a batch of goods last month, and I don't have the time to manage it. You'll keep an eye on it for me, from the time it arrives, gets put on the shelves, to the time it's sold. I'll give you a commission. When you make some money, you can invest in purchasing more goods and share your profits. How about that?"
Wei Mingyue was so happy that she was a little incoherent. "Cousin, are you serious? I, I don't have much experience..."
"It's okay, I'll let the manager guide you. It's not difficult. With your intelligence and talent, you'll be able to get the hang of it quickly." Xie Wanyun said very calmly.
"Thank you, cousin, for not looking down on me. I will work hard and become your right-hand man as soon as possible, so you don't have to work so hard." Wei Mingyue said, feeling so moved that her eyes were red.
"Mingyue, I'm very optimistic about you. Keep going." Xie Wanyun smiled faintly and added, "I originally thought about taking you with me, but I was afraid your aunt would get suspicious. After all... you know."
Wei Mingyue nodded desperately. "Don't worry, cousin. I understand. I will definitely not let you down."
"Well, that's good." Xie Wanyun said meaningfully.
