"It's not hard. There's still a long way to go. Don't forget, you said you would earn an imperial edict for me." Ye Wanwan wanted to laugh as she spoke. She had never really thought about becoming an official's wife.
In the Hong family cloth shop, the head of the Hong family, Hong Shiyi, stood respectfully, his face wrinkled and his smile was so tight that he couldn't open his mouth. "Miss Ye said she wanted to see it, so of course there is no problem."
"Then thank you for your help." The person who spoke was Ye Wanwan, who sent Lin Xu'an to school, and also Ye Wanwan who came to cause trouble for Shangguan En.
The Hong Family Cloth Shop was indeed once glorious. The scale of the shop was not small and the workers were well-trained. They were all very skillful and there was no need to worry at all.
The dyed and colored cloths were hung on poles to dry, one after another, which was a spectacular sight.
"Miss Ye, 40% to 60% split is really too much of a bargain for me. Let's make it 50% to 50%." Hong Shi smiled brightly. After all, his monthly income now was comparable to what he had made in the past few years. Who wouldn't be happy?
Ye Wanwan was also smiling, but her words already revealed her sharp edge. "Uncle Hong, what's agreed is agreed. You help me expand my business. Then, what difference will there be between a 46% profit split and a 50% profit split? Don't you agree?"
"Okay, since Miss Ye said so, I can only try harder." Old Master Hong touched his beard which no longer existed, but he did not miss it.
After all, he has become several years younger these days, and he is in high spirits. But this is the case. If he can see the Hong family become more glorious than before in his lifetime, he will die without regrets.
"Master, that person is here again..." The disgust on the face of the servant who reported the news was not concealed, which was enough to show how annoying the person was.
Outside the Hong family cloth shop, the sounds of ghosts and wolves howling successfully attracted a crowd of people to watch the show, making it very lively.
"I was wrong back then, but it's been so long, why are you targeting us?" The former Mrs. Hong, now Mrs. Sun, was just being unreasonable.
Sometimes, shameless people always gain the upper hand suddenly because deep down, they never feel that they are wrong.
"Shi Yi, even if you don't want to think about me, what about Hong Ying? I was dishonest in what I did back then, but Hong Ying is still my daughter. For Hong Ying's sake... you have to give me a way out."
Hong Shiyi didn't want to pay attention, but when he heard Hong Ying's name, he immediately became angry, "You bitch, you have the nerve to mention Ying'er?"
"Shiyi, it's all my fault. It doesn't matter if you hit me or scold me. Just treat us equally and sell the cloth to us. We will move out immediately and won't bother you anymore..." Mrs. Sun hugged Hong Shiyi, crying and sobbing, but her charm was still there.
Others didn't know how much of it was true or false, but Hong Shiyi knew it was all fake. His eyes were cold and he remained unmoved.
Hong Ying, what qualifications does she have to mention Hong Ying? If it weren't for Hong Ying's good fortune, Ying'er would have died long ago when the Sun family suppressed the Hong family!
"It's time to go. How far can the Sun family get before I take any action? Go, as far, as possible." Hong Shiyi pinched the woman's chin and spoke word by word, full of sarcasm.
He no longer cared about what happened in the past. He was already satisfied that Hong Ying could grow up safely, but that didn't mean he would forget. Even clay figures have tempers. He was not a saint, he was just lazy and felt it was meaningless.
"Daddy, shall we take Sister Ye to the newly opened restaurant?" Hong Ying appeared from nowhere, wearing the latest dress and looking as pretty as a peach.
Hong Shiyi's already calm state of mind became even calmer. "Okay, let Miss Ye have a taste too."
"Let's go, Daddy." Hong Ying nimbly dodged the hand that Mrs. Sun stretched out to her, and straightened her messy skirt. She was neither sad nor happy, just pretending that the person didn't exist.
"Shi Yi... Ying'er..." Mrs. Sun was stopped by someone and could only watch the father and daughter leave, walking farther and farther away.
Hong Ying said with a smile, picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a large piece of chicken for Ye Wanwan, and said warmly, "Sister Ye, try this big plate of chicken. My dad, who didn't eat chicken much before, has fallen in love with it!"
"Well, thank you. I'll try it." Ye Wanwan didn't mention that she was the one who sold the recipe. It must be said that the chef is well trained! This big plate of chicken has her style, delicious!
Even though there were only three of them, Hong Shiyi ordered a large table of dishes. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he even burst into tears on the spot to express his true feelings.
"Miss Ye, I offer you a toast. If it weren't for you, I, Hong Shiyi, wouldn't be where I am today..."
"Miss Ye, come on, keep drinking!"
"Keep drinking. I will definitely work hard and live up to Miss Ye's expectations of me!"
Hong Ying's face flushed slightly, her eyes sparkling. "Sister Ye, my father is just happy. He often tells me that I should be a good person just like you..."
"He also said that he would send me to school later so that I could learn a craft that I was interested in, so that my life would be worthwhile."
"I welcome you. Let's continue eating and ignore her." Ye Wanwan smiled. She was always more patient with children.
Hong Ying nodded happily and continued to eat, but the two of them tacitly ignored Hong Shiyi. It was a good thing that a drunk person just talked nonsense and didn't act crazy.
"Ms. Ye, it's really you!" An excited voice came from behind. Ye Wanwan turned around and took a closer look. Hey, it was indeed the person who bought the house.
Ye Wanwan nodded and casually asked, "Why didn't you get promoted? Why did you come here instead?"
"Promotion?" The man touched his head and said with a smile, "That's called a promotion, but I volunteered to come here. The one who's close to the water gets the moon first, and now I've met Miss Ye."
