Yan Xixi was taken aback and didn’t know how to respond.
No one had ever asked her this question before, and she had never asked herself either. She didn’t know if it was because she didn’t want to ask or dared not to ask.
"Although I’m riding on your coattails, I remain grateful to Wan Donglin," Xu Xiaoya said. "Besides you, he’s the best person to in this world. I dedicated my entire youth to my family and boyfriend, but they gave nothing in return and ended up treating like dirt. Sotis I wonder, if Wan Donglin hadn’t provided us with this shop, what would I be now?"
Xu Xiaoya gave a self-deprecating smile. "I said Miaomiao couldn’t work in our shop because she has no education and can’t speak English. But what about ? I don’t have an education either, and my English is limited to a few basic conversational phrases. I know that in similar shops, the managers all have bachelor’s or master’s degrees and often go abroad for specialized training. But in our shop, right from the start, Wan Donglin sent highly professional staff and trainers. The financial accounting was all set up, and there were dedicated people to handle dealings with relevant departnts and how to avoid harassnt and disputes. It would be more accurate to say that Wan Donglin has been running the business behind the scenes for the past six months. The supply chain, custor base, events... almost everything was arranged by people he organized. I’m still just a student; I’ve only learned about fifty to sixty percent of it all by now. If it weren’t for him, what qualifications would I have to work in such a fine store?"
Yan Xixi was stunned.
"Wan Donglin is only so good to because of you; it’s a classic case of ’loving the house extends to the crows on its roof.’ If he treats this well, imagine how deeply he feels for you. He wouldn’t even spare a second glance if it weren’t for you. Would a man like him plan your future so ticulously if he weren’t genuinely devoted to you?"
Her voice was strained. "Xiaoya, you know it’s just a transaction between him and ..."
"A transaction? What man would spend tens of millions to send a woman to college rely because of a transactional relationship?"
Yan Xixi was speechless again.
"Perhaps it’s because I don’t understand Huang Xiaojue or know what’s so good about him," Xu Xiaoya continued. "Xixi, is he really so wonderful that you can tolerate his incredibly difficult mother?"
Yan Xixi remained silent.
"I have the most experience with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships. Before Zhong Minghui’s mother arrived, although he was still a jerk, he at least bothered to put on a pretense and hadn’t completely torn off the facade. But once the old woman ca and constantly fanned the flas, Zhong Minghui quickly revealed his hideous true self and beca even worse. Xixi, do you think Huang Xiaojue will never change after you marry him? Will he always stand by your side and completely ignore his mother’s attempts to stir up trouble?"
Yan Xixi couldn’t utter a single word in response.
A mont later, she walked out of the shop. She didn’t even say goodbye to Xu Xiaoya, having completely forgotten to do so. She also didn’t notice soone nearby watching her retreating figure.
Only after she had walked so distance away did Wan Donglin slowly enter the store.
Xu Xiaoya wasn’t surprised. She respectfully led him to the office and took out the bag. "Wan Donglin," she said, "these are Xixi’s docunts and cards. She said she hopes you will change the legal representative as soon as possible."
Wan Donglin only took out the photocopy of her ID card. It was a color copy, and the headshot showed a girl with a radiant smile, her beautifully arched eyebrows sweeping towards her temples, looking exceptionally refined.
"Wan Donglin, please appoint another store manager," Xu Xiaoya requested. "Before the new manager arrives, I will continue to give my all, just as before, and ensure a proper handover."
She bowed deeply to Wan Donglin. "Thank you, Wan Donglin."
Wan Donglin smiled faintly. "Don’t be in a hurry to leave. You still need to keep a close watch on this shop."
Xu Xiaoya replied with great solemnity, "Wan Donglin, I am very grateful for your kind intentions. However, Xixi and I stick together through thick and thin. Since she has made her decision, I will follow her lead."
Wan Donglin said nothing more. He simply took the photocopy and turned to leave.
