After a night of hard work, Yao Tongjia made 50 sets, including toner and lotion, which can be used together.
The next day, Yao Tongjia took it to the courtyard house and gave Li Chenyi a final acupuncture treatment. When it was all done, Li Chenyi sincerely thanked Yao Tongjia: "Thank you so much. I thought I wouldn't make it through this!"
Yao Tongjia smiled and placed 50 sets of lotion on the table: "Please take these to them and remember to collect payment!"
Li Chenyi took out a notebook, signed a check for M yuan, and handed it to Yao Tongjia: "Here's the check for you. It's not easy to transfer the money over."
Yao Tongjia smiled and took the check: "Then thank you, Mr. Li. Oh, by the way, Youyou, I forgot to tell you, I've already got the factory. We can have someone start decorating it first."
"I've already promised to give priority to laid-off workers, but of course, if they're not suitable, we don't have to hire them!"
Li Youyou exclaimed happily, "What do you need me to do? I feel so good about having something to do!"
Seeing his sister looking so worthless, Li Chenyi was speechless: "Was it my fault that I let you stay home and have a life of leisure before?"
Li Youyou quickly grabbed her brother's arm and said coquettishly, "Of course, each has its own advantages, but here, I still want to have something to do!"
Li Chenyi was just joking with his sister: "Our courtyard house is right ahead, it's all renovated, do you want to go take a look?"
Li Youyou nodded repeatedly: "Sister Tong, would you like to go and take a look too?"
Yao Tongjia refused to go: "I haven't been to the garment factory for several days. I'm going to the garment factory. You can go see for yourselves!"
Seeing Yao Tongjia drive away, Li Youyou rested her head on Li Chenyi's arm: "Brother, do you think Sister Tong is amazing? Nothing is a problem for her!"
Like Li Youyou, Li Chenyi watched the car drive away. He nodded and said, "She's very capable. I feel at ease having you by her side!"
Li Youyou sensed something was wrong: "Brother, why are you saying that?"
"Don't you want to be like her? You can only learn a little bit from her by following her around. Just remember to always bring bodyguards when you go out, don't be like her, who often doesn't bring bodyguards."
“I will remember that her bodyguard often did part-time work, and she often didn’t bring a bodyguard when she went to drive!”
"Yes, we shouldn't be like her, insisting on bringing two bodyguards. Also, unless I ask you to go to Hong Kong, don't go to Hong Kong if anyone calls you!"
"Brother, what exactly did you go to Hong Kong for this time? Is it related to your injury?"
"Well, it's a bit dangerous for me to go there this time. I'm afraid others will target you. Just stay here and wait for me to come back!"
Li Youyou tugged at her brother's arm worriedly: "Brother, we really don't need that much money. Besides, the money you gave me is enough for me to live on for the rest of my life. At worst, I can just live here!"
Li Chenyi stroked his sister's hair, his heart filled with affection: "Okay, I'll stop now, so you can date that guy without worry!"
"If you feel it's not right, that's okay. Don't force yourself to be together!"
The next day, Li Chenyi returned home. This time, he had changed his bodyguards several times. They looked similar to the previous bodyguards, but in fact, these bodyguards had even more upright postures!
Li Chenyi couldn't stand it anymore and patted them on the shoulder: "Can you please straighten your shoulders? You're my bodyguards now!"
These words caused the bodyguards to exchange glances, and they could only relax their shoulders slightly and help carry the luggage to the port city!
Yao Tongjia worked hard for several days and finally got the pharmaceutical factory up and running. She then spent another ten days bringing Li Youyou out. Just as Yao was catching her breath, Ruan Shengpeng's phone call disrupted her rhythm!
"What did you say? You want me to take Mom to the competition? When did Mom participate in the preliminary round? How come I didn't know?"
After hanging up the phone, Yao Tongjia drove directly to the military region. When she got out of the car and entered the house, she saw Ruan Shengpeng setting out the dishes. He quickly called to Yao Tongjia, "Go wash your hands, it's time to eat!"
Yao Tongjia entered the kitchen: "Mom, you really passed the preliminary round?"
Yao Yanxin couldn't stop smiling: "It was only after Teacher Zhai called me that I found out that I had won second prize in the preliminary round. Everyone who won second prize or higher had to go to the final round on site."
The mother and daughter brought out the food and chatted as they went: "Fortunately, your father had already informed us beforehand, and as soon as he mentioned it today, the higher-ups approved my participation in the competition!"
"So what kind of outfit are you planning to wear for the finals?"
"I want to make cheongsams!"
"A cheongsam needs embroidery, Mom, do you know how to embroider?" Yao Tongjia was genuinely surprised!
"Your mom just learned how to embroider!" Yao Yanxin said with pride.
"You learned embroidery? When did you learn it? How come I didn't know?"
"You've been too busy. Haven't you been to the garment factory for days?"
"It's been several days since you last went. You didn't just learn how to do it recently, did you?"
"It really is! Let me show you, see if my embroidery is pretty?"
Yao Yanxin stood up, not wanting to be stopped by Ruan Shengpeng: "Eat first, I'm hungry. You two can study this properly after you finish eating!"
Yao Yanxin had no choice but to sit down: "Your father is hungry, let's eat first and then talk!"
Yao Tongjia has been too busy lately, so she eats very quickly. Ruan Shengpeng couldn't stand it and said, "How come you eat faster than me? That won't do, slow down!"
Yao Yanxin nodded in agreement: "Tongtong, if you're too tired, you don't need to do so many things at the same time. Look at you, even eating is like a battle!"
Yao Tongjia could only eat slowly: "It was a bit busy at the beginning, but it got better later!"
"You said the same thing before, that we shouldn't try to do too many things at once, that we shouldn't rush things, and that we should also make sure the people around us are keeping up!"
"How long has it been since you had a meal with Ah Geng?" Yao Tongjia's heart skipped a beat; it seemed like it had been a while.
"You two agreed to get married after graduation, but three months have passed now, and you haven't mentioned marriage at all?"
"Could it be that the kid has changed his mind?" Ruan Shengpeng put down his chopsticks, as if he would rush over to settle accounts with the person if Yao Tongjia said yes.
Yao Yanxin glared at Ruan Shengpeng: "She must have been too busy to say anything!"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "It's my fault. I'll take care of things at the pharmaceutical factory. No, after I come back from abroad with my mother, we'll get married!"
Yao Tongjia had already arranged the departure time with her mother. She had originally planned to sleep overnight at the military region, but she didn't. Instead, she drove straight back to her home at Huada University.
When Yao Tongjia arrived on the second floor, she saw Xiao Gengwu reading a book in the living room. He stood up with a smile when he saw her and said, "You're back. Have you eaten?"
Yao Tongjia felt a pang of sadness. If she hadn't come back, would he still be here waiting for her?
