Li Wenhui was still being coy, but since Shen Sisi had already spoken, she no longer held back and mustered up her courage to say, "There are many military wives in our compound who are unemployed. Some of their children are already grown up and they also want to find a job. They heard that you opened an oil mill, and everyone is very envious and wants to work with you."
Hi, so that's what it was about!
Chen Sisi smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was something serious, but it turned out he just wanted to work with her.
"Thank you for trusting me, and thank you everyone for thinking so highly of me, Chen Sisi. Since you've already asked, of course there's no problem."
If Li Wenhui weren't pregnant, she would have jumped up on the spot immediately.
"That's great, Sisi is so generous. On behalf of all the sisters in the compound, thank you, Boss Shen..." Li Wenhui's eyes were already bright, and her smile was even more captivating, sparkling with tears.
"I should be thanking you. I'll have to trouble you to make arrangements for me again from now on."
Li Wenhui smiled, touched, and said, "Between us, there's no such thing as trouble or not. You, Chen Sisi, are my sister. From now on, I'll do whatever you ask!"
"Okay, go back and compile a list for me, including how many people want to work, their strengths, and their personalities. Give me the information another day."
"What do you mean by 'another day'? I've already prepared everything!" Li Wenhui pulled out several sheets of densely written letter paper from her pocket.
“There were thirteen people in total, including… including Yang Qiuxia.” Li Wenhui never expected that Yang Qiuxia would take the initiative to come and find her with everyone.
“I didn’t want to talk to her at first, but lately she seems to have become a different person. She no longer gossips about this and that, and she stays indoors all day long. She has lost all her arrogance and is like a defeated old hen.”
A mother's heart is always connected to her child's. Yang Qiuxia's child was sent back to her hometown, and her husband was even arguing with her about divorce. How could she feel good about it?
These two events were tantamount to taking away her backbone. If it weren't for Shen Sisi's kind words of persuasion that day to make changes, she definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.
"She doesn't seem like she's here to cause trouble. She probably genuinely wants to find a job. After all... if Commander Chen really does divorce her, she'll need a job to make a living, won't she?"
Li Wenhui used to really dislike Yang Qiuxia, treating her like a class enemy. But as time went by, Yang Qiuxia's transformation gradually wore away Li Wenhui's unhappiness.
"So, you registered her?" Shen Sisi asked.
"Yes!" Li Wenhui answered frankly.
Chen Sisi suddenly smiled, looking at the delicate face in front of her: "Wenhui, you are a kind-hearted person. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
"Since she came to me personally, I'll reluctantly accept her." However, given Yang Qiuxia's past, Shen Sisi was still uneasy.
She planned to give Yang Qiuxia some less important tasks first to see how well she performed, and temporarily prevent her from handling the core parts.
"The oil mill has just opened, and there are still many things I don't understand. Once I've finalized the positions, I'll call a meeting to assign them suitable jobs."
Li Wenhui nodded, patting her shoulder expectantly: "Okay, then we're ready to obey your orders anytime..."
After seeing Li Wenhui off, he pondered for a moment and picked up the few letters to examine them carefully.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Chen Sisi thought it was Li Wenhui who had forgotten something, but when she looked up, she found Jinshan riding a bicycle and standing outside the gate.
"I'll go!" Gu Chengfeng took three steps at a time and walked quickly towards the courtyard.
The two whispered to each other, and then Jinshan took the brown paper bag from his hand and invited him to come in and sit down for some tea, but Jinshan quickly waved his hand.
"Gu Tuan, thank you for your kindness, but I won't have the tea. There's a ton of work waiting for me at the oil mill, so I'll have to get back to it..." He said quite loudly, which his boss overheard.
Chen Sisi got up and walked to the door: "Since we're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Just as Jin Shan was about to waver, he glanced thoughtfully at Gu Chengfeng and the brown paper bag: "Sister Sisi, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'm just too busy to go... so I'll head back now. You two can continue your conversation..."
He came and went in a hurry, and as soon as he finished speaking, he sped off on his bicycle several meters away, giving Chen Sisi no chance to stop him.
Chen Sisi turned to Gu Chengfeng, feeling dejected: "Am I that scary?"
Gu Chengfeng chuckled, annoyed, "Perhaps he's not afraid of you!"
"Could it be because of you?" Chen Sisi's beautiful eyes swept over him suspiciously. "What were you two whispering about just now? And what's in that leather bag of yours?"
She adopted a "confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely" attitude, which, to be honest, was quite imposing.
Gu Chengfeng shook the brown paper bag mysteriously: "This is the gift I was talking about, the one for you..."
After saying that, he took Chen Sisi's hand and they went into the house together, carefully opening the kraft paper sealed bag.
Inside were some colorful papers. After pondering for a moment, she picked up the top one, and it turned out to be... the trademark registration for her Golden Phoenix brand medicinal oil!
She blinked in disbelief, her fingertips repeatedly stroking the cardboard, staring blankly at the large red official seal on it.
“I know you’re busy, so I took the liberty of having Xiao Jin run errands for you and take care of these trivial matters.” Gu Chengfeng said as he methodically took out the items from the brown paper bag one by one.
Shen Sisi then discovered that, in addition to the registered trademarks, there was also a thick stack of patent documents inside.
Gu Chengfeng actually sent her medicinal oil formula for testing and even applied for a patent!
In this day and age, one in ten thousand people can think of patents. She had previously hesitated about whether to send her medicinal oil for testing and then apply for a patent.
After making some inquiries, I found that applying for a patent was too complicated and there was no agency to connect with, so I gave up after some thought.
Unexpectedly, what she couldn't do was as commonplace as wind and rain in Gu Chengfeng's hands, as if he could achieve it easily!
But the hardships involved are something that one must deeply understand.
First, her medicated oil had to be sent to an authoritative institution for testing, and then the procedures had to be followed layer by layer.
Thinking of this, Shen Sisi could no longer hold back and opened her arms to hug Gu Chengfeng tightly: "Thank you... Gu Chengfeng..."
Gu Chengfeng's body was as hard as iron. He mischievously rubbed the little woman's head with his chin: "Still call me Gu Chengfeng?"
A steady voice, tinged with displeasure, said: "Call me husband!"
Shen Sisi's heart trembled, as if she were under some fatal temptation. She bit her lower lip lightly, her face flushed, and mumbled, "H-husband~"
