Rewarding merit and punishing mistakes is the foundation of a company. Zhao Yunxiang has run the factory for many years and never forgets this.
Zhao Yunxiang picked up the phone on the table and sent out instructions one by one.
She had the factory office issue two notices immediately: one expelling Ma Yulian and the other praising Wu Xiuping and warehouse manager Li. Of course, Zhao Yunxiang wouldn't be stingy with bonuses. She even called the security office and told Mr. Li, the gatekeeper, to be on the lookout and not let Ma Yulian in again.
After doing all this, Zhao Yunxiang closed her eyes and rubbed her swollen brows. Although Ma Yulian had brought this upon herself, Zhao Yunxiang still felt somewhat sorry for Hu Sanniang.
"Knock knock knock", there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." When Zhao Yunxiang opened her eyes, she had regained her image of a strong woman.
The door was pushed open, and a stunningly beautiful woman appeared in front of Zhao Yunxiang.
"Sister Hu..." Zhao Yunxiang exclaimed in surprise, standing up. It was no wonder she was surprised. After not seeing her for three years, Hu Sanniang hadn't aged at all. Instead, she looked a decade younger. If it weren't for the familiar moon-white, double-breasted, short-sleeved blouse she was wearing, Zhao Yunxiang wouldn't have recognized her.
The dress Hu Sanniang wore today was the same one she'd worn when she first met Zhao Yunxiang. The rose embroidered on the dress was quite distinctive. Its long green stem and purple petals, woven from layers of light and dark purple thread, made the rose appear to be in full bloom, a truly unforgettable sight.
When Zhao Yunxiang saw Hu Sanniang for the first time, she was attracted by the clothes she was wearing.
"Sister Yunxiang, long time no see." Hu Sanniang's voice was as clear and pleasant as a silver bell, and her smile was as elegant and charming as it was a few years ago.
"Sister Hu, is it really you? I thought you were your sister! Sister Hu, where have you been all these years? You didn't even call me. If you hadn't sent me the design drawings from time to time, I would have been a little worried. Now, seeing that you are getting younger and younger, you must have had a comfortable life in the past few years..." Zhao Yunxiang held Hu Sanniang's hand and talked for a while.
It was unknown what was going on, but in front of Hu Sanniang, the usually quiet Zhao Yunxiang always had a lot of random things to say. Perhaps it was because Zhao Yunxiang lost her mother at a young age, so in her heart, she unconsciously put the kind and gentle Hu Sanniang, the elder sister, in the role of mother.
If Zhou Yuanyuan knew her mother imagined Hu Sanniang to be "gentle and kind," she would surely burst out laughing. There seemed to be no one more vicious than Hu Sanniang—no, a demon. Hu Sanniang, a demon king, was no pushover.
Hu Sanniang felt embarrassed, but the smile on her face remained. Getting younger and younger? That's right!
If it weren't for the need to solve her image problem, Hu Sanniang wouldn't have waited so many days to come.
The Qingqiu Fox Clan possesses a gifted magical ability: after living past five hundred years old, the higher their cultivation level, the younger and more beautiful their human form becomes. For example, Hu Sanniang's mother, the Demon King who lived for over three thousand years, appears as a stunning young woman in her thirties when she transforms into a human. This appearance remains unchanged unless their cultivation level is compromised or they advance to a new realm.
When Hu Sanniang's demon core was damaged, her human form resembled a woman in her forties. Now at the level of Demon King, no matter how much she adjusted herself, she could only appear in her thirties. Hu Sanniang hadn't considered this issue at first. While in the Trial World, she had always appeared in her original fox form to facilitate the process of channeling her demonic power.
Zhou Yuanyuan had never thought about this problem. After finding a remote place to release Hu Sanniang from the trial world, she and Wen Ziqing ran to the Northern Military Region together.
After Hu Sanniang transformed into a human, she realized how different she looked from three years ago. Humans age as they age, but she's been able to reverse aging and become younger. Would this arouse Zhao Yunxiang's suspicion?
Hu Sanniang wasn't like Chaos Pearl, a foolish creature who didn't understand the world of love. Having lived in the secular world for centuries, she certainly understood how frustrating it would be for humans to be interrupted while they were in the middle of a love affair. Besides, as a spirit pet, if she always had to rely on her master for solutions, she would only be looked down upon by him.
Hu Sanniang had been racking her brains these past few days, trying to find a way to make her look closer to what she had three years ago. Until yesterday, when she was inspired by a woman in makeup, she bought a bunch of cosmetics and started to dress herself up, finally ending up looking like she was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old.
Otherwise, having suddenly turned thirty from forty-five, Hu Sanniang really wouldn't dare reveal her true identity to Zhao Yunxiang. She might as well just say she was her niece.
Of course! These past few days, Hu Sanniang hadn't just been addressing her own image issues; she'd also been making a lot of preparations. For example, she'd been secretly investigating Ma Yulian's background. Under the watchful eyes of the demon queen, Hu Sanniang had thoroughly investigated Ma Yulian's family affairs. The rest, she'd just wait to punish Ma Yulian. Taking advantage of Hu Sanniang wasn't easy.
A few minutes later, Hu Sanniang was already sitting on the sofa in Zhao Yunxiang's office. Zhao Yunxiang made a cup of scented tea for Hu Sanniang and herself, then sat down opposite Hu Sanniang.
The aroma of tea was lingering in the air, and Zhao Yunxiang's office was decorated simply and warmly. After Hu Sanniang took a sip of the scented tea that contained a hint of spiritual energy, she felt completely relaxed.
Every time Zhao Yunxiang saw Hu Sanniang, she would be stunned.
Hu Sanniang was the most beautiful woman Zhao Yunxiang had ever seen. Her beauty wasn't just on the outside; her every frown, smile, and gesture was filled with beauty. Even her unabashedly lazy posture, leaning against the sofa, was pleasing to the eye. Even though Zhao Yunxiang was a woman, she was captivated by her beauty.
Zhao Yunxiang had only been with Hu Sanniang for five or six years, but she felt she had learned a great deal from her. Hu Sanniang taught her more than just embroidery and tailoring skills; she also unconsciously imitated her every move.
It's true that under Hu Sanniang's influence, Zhao Yunxiang herself felt that her femininity had increased significantly compared to before. A specific example can be seen in the increasingly infatuated look Zhou Zhixin had given her over the years.
Cough cough cough... I was lost in thought. After Zhao Yunxiang came to her senses, she asked Hu Sanniang, "Sister Hu, where have you been all these years? You didn't even call me. Have you forgotten me?"
Call? Hu Sanniang had never expected that.
