Ma Peipei followed Zhou Yi and the others into the yard, and didn't dare to look at Xu Xiaoxiu the whole time.
If he hadn't been so self-righteous before, or had trusted Zhou Yi more and laid things out clearly, the result would have been completely different. He regretted it so much.
But he really didn't expect that Zhou Yi, who had never been to the capital, actually had a friendship with the Pang family.
Zhou Yi walked into the yard and saw that Yun Gaofei was not at home. He frowned. He didn't know what Yun Gaofei and Qin Bei were busy with. He hadn't seen them all day.
Walking all the way to the main living room, Zhou Yi poured them all a cup of hot tea to warm them up. It was already very cold in the capital, and it felt like it was going to snow at any moment.
Ma Peipei looked at Zhou Yi cautiously, took the tea, and didn't dare to speak.
"Peipei, even if we are no longer partners, we are still friends. You don't need to be so cautious." Zhou Yi said with a smile.
She believed this from the bottom of her heart. Even if Ma Peipei really left Meiyi, Zhou Yi would still recognize this friend. Putting aside other things, Ma Peipei's character was still the best.
"Xiaoyi~" Ma Peipei held the water in both hands, not knowing how to start.
He didn't want to leave Meiyi. He wanted to continue to be Zhou Yi and their partner and walk with them.
Of course Zhou Yi noticed that Ma Peipei was hesitant to speak, but as Yunfeng said, even if Ma Peipei wanted to return to Meiyi, she couldn't come back so easily.
"Hmm? Peipei, do you have anything to say?" Zhou Yi responded and then asked.
Ma Peipei took a deep breath as if to encourage himself, and then said: "Xiaoyi, I don't want to leave Meiyi, I want to continue walking with you."
Ma Peipei plucked up the courage to express her thoughts, and was prepared for Zhou Yi to continue to refuse.
But Zhou Yi didn't say anything, just looked at him, then turned to look at Xu Xiaoxiu.
Xu Xiaoxiu was also looking at Zhou Yi. Their eyes met, and Zhou Yi sighed and said, "Peipei, Meiyi isn't a place where you can come and go as you please. I've repeatedly asked you if you're determined to leave Meiyi, but you've been resolute. Honestly, I'm very disappointed."
Upon hearing this, Ma Peipei looked at Zhou Yi in shame and wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she couldn't.
Xu Xiaoxiu's heart was in her throat, but she chose to listen quietly to Zhou Yi finish his words.
After a while, Zhou Yi continued, "But after all, our previous cooperation was very pleasant, and Xiao Xiu has always wanted to give you another chance. I have an idea. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it?"
Ma Peipei's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at Zhou Yi and said, "I'm interested. I'm interested. As long as I can continue to travel with you, I'll do anything for you."
Ma Peipei knew that if Zhou Yi was willing to give him another chance, he would never do anything to harm him.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Just listen to me first, and then decide whether you are willing to accept it."
"Okay, go ahead and tell me. I'm willing to accept whatever you say," said Ma Peipei.
"Your probation period is three months. During this time, you will be Xiaoxiu's assistant, helping her handle all the work in Beijing. Your salary will be 20% off your original salary. Xiaoxiu will have the final say on the probationary assessment criteria. After three months, if she thinks you're qualified, you'll return to Meiyi." Zhou Yi smiled at Xu Xiaoxiu, then looked at Ma Peipei and asked, "Peipei, are you okay with this?"
"Yes, I can." Ma Peipei answered without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for giving me another chance."
As long as he can return to Meiyi, Ma Peipei can accept a one-year trial period, let alone a three-month trial period. As for the income, he doesn't care at all. During this period of time, Ma Peipei has established a deep sense of belonging in the Meiyi brand. If he were not worried that the Ma family's affairs would affect Meiyi, he would never have the idea of leaving Meiyi in his life.
"Peipei, I hope you remember that we are partners. Trust is the first foundation. We should solve problems when they arise and communicate openly and effectively instead of giving up at every turn." Zhou Yi said seriously, looking at Ma Peipei.
"I will definitely keep it in mind." Ma Peipei nodded.
"Xiaoxiu, Brother Feng, do you think this is an okay way to handle it?" Zhou Yi seemed to be asking for Yunfeng and Xu Xiaoxiu's opinions, but actually he was mainly asking Xu Xiaoxiu.
Yunfeng and Xu Xiaoxiu nodded, indicating that they had no objection.
After Xu Xiaoxiu nodded, she looked at Zhou Yi with gratitude. She understood that Zhou Yi's decision was more or less taken into consideration of her wishes and feelings.
"Xiao Xiu, I'm sorry to trouble you to stay in Beijing for a while, but you must rush back to Jinghai during the Spring Festival, otherwise Uncle Xu will definitely block my door and scold me." Zhou Yi said jokingly.
Xu Xiaoxiu smiled and nodded in agreement.
After Zhou Yi and the others finished talking about Ma Peipei, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Yun Gaofei and Qin Bei had not returned yet.
In order to thank Zhou Yi and the others for giving him another chance to return their kindness, Ma Peipei decided to go to Yang Nianhua's private restaurant to pack up some food to celebrate. He also asked Yunfeng and Xu Xiaoxiu to help carry the food, and it seemed that he was planning to bring back a full banquet.
After Ma Peipei and the others left, Zhou Yi sorted out the matters of Jingcheng Meiyi. The location and decoration style of the branch had been finalized and there was no major problem. The current problem was that a suitable location for the garment factory had not been found.
Zhou Yi was already a little anxious. She could only stay in the capital for three days at most. If she still couldn't find a suitable position in these two or three days, the garment factory matter would have to be put on hold until next year.
Li Zhao called her this morning. Although he didn't say it explicitly on the phone, Zhou Yi still realized from his tone and words that the Wang family had already taken action, and the matter must be quite difficult, otherwise Li Zhao would not have called her.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi decided to go to Pang's house tomorrow to see if Pang Tian had any good suggestions on the location of the garment factory.
Of course, in addition to this, Zhou Yi had originally planned to visit the Pang family. He was about to return to Jinghai, so he should say goodbye to Pang Tian.
Just when Zhou Yi was worrying about the garment factory, Yun Gaofei and Qin Bei walked in from outside the yard.
"My little cousin, give me a cup of hot tea quickly. The winter in the capital is too cold." Qin Bei said as he rubbed his hands and walked towards Zhou Yi.
"Don't get so close, or you might pass the cold air on to Xiaoyi." Yun Gaofei grabbed Qin Bei's collar and pulled it back, forcing Qin Bei to take a few steps back.
"Are you sure you're still my iron comrade, Yun Gaofei?" Qin Bei looked at Yun Gaofei with resentment, and said in a wronged tone, "Old Yun, you've really changed. It was so cold, but you dragged me around all day to negotiate land for the garment factory, and now that we've finally returned home, you treat me like this. You've changed. Now all you care about is my little cousin."
Zhou Yi ignored Qin Bei's exaggerated performance. After pouring them two cups of tea, he looked at Yun Gaofei and asked, "Gaofei, you went out early this morning to negotiate the land for the garment factory?"
