The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 488: Chapter 487: An Indescribable Strangeness

Seeing her mother’s expression, Yiyi laughed beside her, ”Yes, the matter is finally resolved.”

It turns out the rumors were indeed spread by Zhuang Xinhai. Fortunately, Old Master Ding has already handled the origin, and the source of the rumors has been explained, so naturally, others will only blame Zhuang Xinhai and won’t believe the rumors anymore.

As for those from the Zhuang family, Old Master Ding has already enacted punishment, so now everything is settled.

If Old Master Ding were as hot-tempered as he was in his younger days, the Zhuang family would hardly escape without serious repercussions. But now, he is handling things rather lightly.

Seeing his eldest daughter’s relaxed face, Old Master Ding directly laughed and then looked at her, saying, ”Yue Jun, I’ll talk to you about something later.”

Ding Yuejun nodded upon hearing this.

Yiyi stood up and said, ”Grandpa, you and Mom can be busy together, and I’ll go check things at the pharmaceutical factory.”

After Yiyi left, Old Master Ding directly disclosed his arrangement, ”You’ll have some free time in a couple of days, right? Then go have dinner with someone.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun immediately understood Old Master Ding’s intention and shook her head, saying, ”Dad, I’m not considering it at the moment.”

Old Master Ding glanced at her and said, ”I’ve asked Yiyi, and she hopes you can live happily in the second half of your life, so you should at least take a look. The person I selected for you is good. Shi Yang has never been married before. When he advanced in his career and wanted to marry, he felt too old to date young girls, yet finding older, suitable women was difficult, so this dragged on till now.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun said, ”Someone like me who’s divorced and has a daughter, I suppose they wouldn’t be interested.”

”That’s nonsense! What’s wrong with someone like you? Even though you’ve been divorced and have a child, whoever looks at you can’t help but praise you, not only for your beauty but also for your career achievements. Women like you are not commonly seen.”

Old Master Ding praised his daughter so effortlessly, without needing to think.

Ding Yuejun almost felt embarrassed from the praise and helplessly said, ”Dad, I’m seriously talking to you.”

Old Master Ding also emphasized, ”I’m serious too.”

In the end, Ding Yuejun was left with no choice but to reluctantly nod and say, ”Okay, okay, I’ll definitely go.”

Seeing his daughter’s agreement made Old Master Ding very happy.

”Good, then it’s settled. I’ll inform you about the specific time and place later, and don’t be late.”

”Got it, Dad.”

Ding Yuejun felt a bit helpless.

On the other side, after Yiyi arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, she started talking to Mo Ping about the holiday work schedule for New Year’s.

Seeing Yiyi’s plan to give everyone a holiday, Mo Ping could not help but say, ”Little boss, actually, it’s okay to leave a few people on duty. After all, the factory can’t stop. Will the pharmacy down the street also close?”

This was exactly Yiyi’s plan.

But Mo Ping said, ”Little boss, actually several out-of-town workers don’t plan to go home for New Year’s. They intend to stay and continue working. If you close completely, it might be inconvenient for them.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi was taken aback.

”Some don’t go home for New Year?”

Mo Ping sighed and said, ”Some have less favorable family situations.”

At this point, Yiyi didn’t say more, just said, ”If that’s the case, then you should take a count of who plans to stay. If they work during the holiday, we’ll pay them a double wage.”

Mo Ping nodded and said, ”Okay, understood.”

After discussing this, Yiyi talked with Mo Ping about recent issues at the factory, eventually mentioning a pharmacy.

”Little boss, there’s a new pharmacy on the street called Miao Shou Hall that sells a variety of medicine pills. Some have effects similar to ours, like Height Increasing Pills. But since this pharmacy just opened, they couldn’t possibly have obtained the formula. Do you think... maybe other pharmacies remembered the formula and sold it to others?”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi frowned slightly and then asked, ”Did you buy any medicine from that store?”

”I did; I had someone buy them earlier.”

While speaking, Mo Ping brought out some bottles and said, ”These pills have similar effects to ours, but I didn’t have someone buy others.”

Hearing this, Yiyi casually picked up a pill to smell and even tasted it. Shortly after, she shook her head and said, ”The formula for these pills is different from that of our factory.”

Hearing this, Mo Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, ”That’s good.” But he seemed concerned, ”It looks like our factory has gained a strong competitor.”

”It’s okay, as long as we do our job well.”

Mo Ping nodded upon hearing this, then asked Yiyi, ”Little boss, do you still want to check other pills?”

Since they were there, Yiyi naturally checked them again, concluding that the formulas were not the same but the main ingredients were similar, which is why the effects were similar in comparison.

The last pill Yiyi inspected was Miao Shou Hall’s Height Increasing Pills. After tasting it, she felt something strange but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

”What’s wrong, little boss?”

Hearing Mo Ping’s question, Yiyi shook her head and said, ”Nothing.”

These Height Increasing Pills differed somewhat from their factory’s formula, with effects possibly even better, but she just felt something odd without being able to identify it. In the end, Yiyi shook her head and decided not to dwell on it.

”I’ll head back.”

Mo Ping, hearing this, waved and smiled, ”Little boss, take care.”

When Yiyi arrived home, she found Gu Tingyu had come.

”Tingyu, when did you arrive?”

Upon seeing Gu Tingyu, Yiyi quickly ran over with a smile on her face.

”I just got here not long ago.”

Gu Tingyu smiled and gently touched Yiyi’s hair.

Seeing her daughter return, Ding Yuejun quickly said, ”Yiyi, dinner’s almost ready, you and Tingyu come sit down.”

After they finished eating, Gu Tingyu talked to Yiyi about a meal arranged for the next day.

”Tomorrow, Jinming will treat us; let’s go eat together.”

Hearing this, Yiyi naturally smiled and nodded, then asked, ”Did he only invite the two of us?”

”Zixiao will be joining us too.”

”Oh, okay.”

After talking about that, Gu Tingyu discussed other matters with Yiyi, saying, ”This New Year’s, I can take two days off, so we can visit relatives together.”

”Great.”

Though two days is short, Yiyi was grateful, knowing how busy Gu Tingyu truly is.

The two had endless conversations together until it was quite late, and Gu Tingyu finally went home.

The next day, Gu Tingyu came early to pick up Yiyi, and the two then headed out.
