By the time Li Fei Qing had tidied up, it was past nine o'clock.
The sisters ate a little more noodles, and it was exactly ten o'clock.
“Boss Xiao, this is Li Fei Qing.”
“Hello, Boss Xiao, I’m Li Fei Qing from yesterday.”
“Hello, Boss Xiao.”
Li Fei Qing repeated herself several times before making the call, trying to find her rhythm.
“It’s okay, sis. Your boss just wants you to contact Boss Xiao, so there’s no need to be so nervous. The more nervous you are, the more mistakes you’ll make. Just call now. Besides, they might not even be awake yet.” Xiao Yu said from the side.
“What do you know, you’re just a child?” Li Fei Qing scolded.
“Fine, by the time you’re ready, it’ll be eleven.” Xiao Yu pouted and ignored her.
“Boss Xiao, hello, I’m Li Fei Qing who had dinner with you yesterday.”
“Li Fei Qing? You’re Xiao Yu’s sister, aren’t you? Just take a taxi to Shenglong Hotel. Call me when you get there.”
“Alright, Boss Xiao.” Li Fei Qing hung up and let out a long sigh.
“Sis, if you’re like this, that boss might not accept you. You’re already panting before you’ve even started working. What’s going to happen later?” Xiao Yu said with a smile.
“Can I not be nervous? The boss said that besides giving me a hundred thousand a year, if I do a good job, there will be a year-end bonus no less than my annual salary.”
“Really? Then ask the boss if they need anyone else. I’ll go with you. How much can you earn after graduating from university? It’s better to earn money for two years in advance.” Xiao Yu jumped up from her chair when she heard this.
“You’re not young anymore, why are you still so rash? Won’t people laugh if they see you?”
“I’m just being myself, unlike you who always wears a mask. Isn’t that tiring?”
“What can we do? People are too complicated now. Like the boss of the clothing store, who would have thought he would withhold three months of my salary? If I hadn’t met the boss and Boss Xiao, I wouldn’t have gotten this money back at all.”
“Is that Boss Xiao that powerful?”
“Boss Xiao knows our mall’s boss.”
“You mean that person named Xu Hui?”
“Yes.”
“She’s so young, where did she get so much money? Yesterday I found Xu Hui very interesting. She kept drinking with Cheng Xiu Ping. I think something more than friendship might have happened between them last night.”
“What are you thinking about, you little head?” Li Fei Qing poked her forehead with her finger.
“Sis, I’m not little anymore, okay? I’m seventeen this year. According to our teacher, I could have been a mother at this age.”
“Which teacher said that? I’ll go find her.”
“My biology teacher. Girls can have babies after they start their period. Don’t look at me like that. I’m not saying anything wrong.”
“Xiao Yu, I’m telling you, if you dare to do anything out of line, I’ll never take care of you again,” Li Fei Qing said, staring into Xiao Yu’s eyes.
“I’m working so hard and renting an apartment here just so you can have a good learning environment. If you dare to make friends with bad influences at school, I’ll stop talking to you.”
“Sis, what do you think I am? Am I that kind of person? I’m not stupid, I know what’s most precious for women. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything that lets you down.” Xiao Yu quickly said when she saw her sister was really angry.
“I know you’re beautiful, and your height must be among the best in your class, right? The more beautiful you are, the more people will try to provoke you. There are many bad boys nowadays, and sometimes it’s hard to guard against them. If you really eat the forbidden fruit, you’ll regret it too late.”
“I know, sis. Those are just young lads, how could I like them? Okay, let’s go, or we’ll be late.”
Li Fei Qing glanced at the time, then picked up her bag and hurriedly changed her shoes to go out.
