Listening to Deng Hongying's words, Jiang Qiaoqiao asked with a smile, "Comrade Hongying, you went to work there because you liked the clothes because they were expensive, right?"
Deng Hongying smiled and didn't hide anything, saying directly, "Sigh, back then I thought that the clothes there were expensive and only rich people could afford them. Would I be able to take advantage of working there?"
Who knew that after working there for so long, I'd only ever had my eye on one man, and it was yours. So, shouldn't I just give up now?
My family just happened to introduce me to Liu Hongjun, and I really clicked with him, so I decided to give up on the idea of marrying a rich man!
...
After eating a barbecue, Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't bring up the matter of Deng Hongying working at her shop. However, she did mention that she was hiring and explained the salary and benefits offered.
She waited for Deng Hongying to come to her.
When Jiang Qiaoqiao returned to the residential compound of the Yunxian Cement Plant, she was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Yiran waiting at the entrance of the compound.
She thought Jiang Yiran was smarter now and wouldn't dare to come looking for her again so easily.
I didn't expect her to come again.
Moreover, the person accompanying Jiang Yiran was not Qin Haiyang, but Jiang Yong'an.
However, her surprise was short-lived, and Jiang Qiaoqiao quickly guessed why Jiang Yiran had come to see her.
She got out of the car, and Jiang Yong'an stepped forward to block her way.
She glanced at Jiang Yong'an, too lazy to talk to a man like him who was only obsessed with love and had no intelligence whatsoever.
His gaze swept past Jiang Yong'an and went directly to Jiang Yiran, saying, "Jiang Yiran, if you don't keep your dog in check and make me unhappy, I won't be in the mood to tell you what you want to know."
“You…” Jiang Yong’an clenched his fists in anger.
But Jiang Yiran tugged at her sleeve, looking pitiful like a white lotus flower, and said to Jiang Yong'an, "Third Brother, don't be like this. Didn't we agree on this at home?"
We're all family with my sister, and we'll all treat her well from now on.
Jiang Yong'an glared at Jiang Qiaoqiao with a huff, then looked down at Jiang Yiran with a helpless yet doting expression. "Ranran, you're just too kind-hearted. How can someone like her deserve our kindness?"
"But I'll listen to you, Third Brother. You said you'd treat her well, so I'll treat her well from now on."
Jiang Qiaoqiao felt disgusted when she heard these words. She didn't know whether to pity or hate Jiang Yong'an, this late-stage love-struck simp.
"Sister, may I have a word with you in private?" Jiang Yiran blinked her eyes, looking at Jiang Qiaoqiao with a pitiful expression.
Jiang Qiaoqiao headed straight for a secluded spot.
Huo Beixiao grabbed her arm in concern.
She smiled at Huo Beixiao and said, "Nothing will happen, Brother Xiao, don't worry."
When they arrived at their destination, Jiang Qiaoqiao looked directly at Jiang Yiran, who was still maintaining a pure and innocent demeanor, and said, "Alright, we're all seasoned foxes, so stop pretending to be innocent."
You want to know if your biological parents are Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu, right?
Jiang Yiran hadn't expected that Jiang Qiaoqiao would not only guess her purpose, but also say it so bluntly.
She dropped the pretense and asked, "Is it them?"
"You already know this yourself, why are you asking me?" Jiang Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow and asked back.
“I need to return to the Jiang family openly and honestly. You’ve dealt with the Jiang family your whole life, so you should know some things about the Jiang family that are unknown to outsiders, right?”
Jiang Qiaoqiao curled her lips into a smile. It seemed that Jiang Yiran had already confirmed that she had also been reborn.
“I can tell you, but I have a condition.” Jiang Qiaoqiao fixed her gaze on Jiang Yiran and said, “You have to find a way to stop the Jiang family from coveting my man’s cement factory, and I will help you return to the Jiang family openly and legitimately.”
Jiang Yiran frowned. "Why should I believe you?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao chuckled lightly, "If you don't trust me, why did you come to me?"
"Since you already have doubts, you can go and ask Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu directly. Maybe they'll just take you back with them?"
Jiang Yiran's eyes flickered for a moment, then she looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Jiang Qiaoqiao shook her head as she watched Jiang Yiran's retreating figure. In fact, if Jiang Yiran had simply asked Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu, they would most likely have accepted her back.
But Jiang Yiran always tends to assume the worst about human nature.
How could they believe that Jiang Guozhi and Bai Yuzhu, who had lost her, would be willing to take her back?
When Jiang Qiaoqiao got home, she was completely exhausted.
She lay down on the bed and didn't want to move, directing the man to put the flowers he had bought that day into a vase.
Then, the man fetched water for her to wash her face and water for her to soak her feet.
She used to feel embarrassed and uncomfortable when men served her like this, but now that men don't serve her, she feels uncomfortable.
It's true that it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance!
That evening, Jiang Qiaoqiao hugged the man's arm and said, "After I open the garment factory, I may need to go to Haicheng and Shenzhen."
"Mm." In the darkness, Huo Beixiao held her close and replied without hesitation, "I'll go with you."
The next day, Jiang Qiaoqiao took the goods to the store and put them out, and also wrote a job posting and posted it at the store entrance.
The temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days, and people have already started preparing their winter clothes.
The two clothing stores that make their own clothes have recently seen long queues, with many people bringing their cotton-padded coats from last year to be refurbished.
This actually increased the foot traffic on their street.
As soon as Jiang Qiaoqiao posted her job advertisement, a large number of people immediately gathered around it.
After the reform and opening up, although there were more individual businesses and private enterprises, jobs were still hard to find.
When people saw the job posting, they immediately flocked to Yiren Clothing to register their unemployed relatives.
After hanging up the goods she had brought back yesterday, Mei Xiaofang found that no one came into the store today, and there were fewer people walking on the street outside the store.
She went out to check, puzzled.
People were flocking to Yiren Clothing.
She frowned and followed the crowd.
Jiang Qiaoqiao's shop was packed with people, but the job posting was gone.
After all, Jiang Qiaoqiao had a limited number of openings. Those who saw the notice earlier were worried that too many people would apply and the competition would be too fierce, so they simply tore down the notice.
Mei Xiaofang didn't know that these people were crowding into Jiang Qiaoqiao's shop to sign up for jobs, and she also saw someone carrying a down jacket out of Jiang Qiaoqiao's shop.
A flash of jealousy crossed her eyes.
Ever since Jiang Qiaoqiao opened her shop, her business has plummeted.
She absolutely could not allow Jiang Qiaoqiao to continue bullying and dominating the market like this!
