Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2529: Chapter 2465: Try Disliking Her

After hearing Cheng Qiulian’s words, Chiang Xiao was quite happy. After all, Cheng Qiulian was getting on in years, managing the tea house alone and running to the workshop in the future, Xiao was worried she’d be too tired.

If someone could come and help, sharing her work, she would be quite pleased.

However, Old He and Old Lee came at the same time, and now that Old He is mentioned, wouldn’t Old Lee feel unbalanced?

Upon hearing Xiao’s question, Cheng Qiulian laughed and shook her head, ”I don’t think so. Where did you find these two? They’re quite honest and straightforward. I subtly brought it up, and Old Lee said he’s not suited for this kind of work, but if you need help moving things around or delivering goods, he can be considered.”

It seems these two were the right choice.

Chiang Xiao nodded.

This could work.

When the economy improves, and there are more wealthy people, she’ll definitely open Youqingwei branches, and then someone will need to manage logistics and delivery, which can be entrusted to Old Lee.

This way, Old He and Old Lee both have room for development.

”Master’s wife, then you decide, start with familiarizing Old He with the work.”

”Alright.”

As soon as they entered Youqingwei, Ding Haijing went to chat with Old He and Old Lee.

Meng Xinian was looking around, inspecting things.

After Chiang Xiao and Cheng Qiulian finished talking and came out, they heard Ding Haijing talking to Old He and Old Lee.

”Xiao Chiang has quite the knack for attracting people, so although this is just a tea house, your tasks aren’t light. You must keep a close watch, prevent tricks like someone letting cockroaches loose to blame the tea house or taking medicine then coming here to claim the items aren’t clean. These are things to guard against, as Xiao Chiang’s knack for attracting people is no small matter...”

Chiang Xiao: ”...”

Alright, alright, she knew Ding Haijing meant well, with good intentions and a strong sense of responsibility.

But, why emphasize twice in one sentence that her knack for attracting trouble is no small matter?

These words make it sound like she attracts enemies every day!

She wasn’t out there luring trouble, those people just keep coming, what could she do!

Perhaps it’s the invisible magnetism of the treasure? Attraction?

So then everyone gathered around her?

Old Lee saw Chiang Xiao coming over, coughed to try and hint to Ding Haijing, who had his back to her, to stop talking.

But Ding Haijing continued to speak.

”...So, your task isn’t just to protect her personal safety, but her store...”

”Cough, cough.”

Chiang Xiao felt Ding Haijing must have heard her footsteps, she hadn’t purposely lightened them.

So he clearly wanted her to hear.

”Ding Haijing, we’ve heard you,” Old He quickly said.

”I’ve heard too,” Chiang Xiao said, ”In your eyes, am I this prone to attracting trouble?”

Ding Haijing turned around, took a look at her, ”I thought you knew it yourself.”

Snort.

Chiang Xiao wanted to roll her eyes.

”I say, Ding Haijing, if you find me so troublesome, why become my bodyguard?”

”You misunderstood, being a bodyguard can’t mean disliking the employer. I’m just analyzing the situation clearly, no dislike meant. Besides, if I really dared to dislike you...”

Behind Chiang Xiao, a voice continued, ”Dislike, just try it.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Haijing shrugged.

”See, I wouldn’t dare.”

Meng Xinian placed his hand on Chiang Xiao’s shoulder and said to her, ”Don’t worry about him. I heard this guy was once known as human repellent in the Alliance.”
