Chapter 374: Welcome Back

"Judging by today's events, I think we need a manager." An Yinan pressed her hand down first; she knew what the two older sisters wanted to say, but she wanted to finish speaking first.

"Sometimes we have classes six days a week, sometimes five. There's no need to mention Yuanyuan; she is usually responsible for the factory outside, so that leaves only the three of us."

"But you all know about my schedule; I can spare very little time."

"With only the two of you, you can't take care of so many shops, nor can you keep an eye on so many people every day."

"We can find a manager, then we only need to keep an eye on this manager. As for other matters, she will naturally be responsible for them."

An Yinan looked up at the two older sisters, "What do you think?"

Zhao Qiuhua thought for a moment. The reason this incident happened was mainly because she had too little time, as she could basically only go over once or twice a week. If there were a manager watching the shops from time to time, she could relax, and if anything happened in the shops, there would be someone to handle it immediately.

"I support it," Zhao Qiuhua said. After thinking for a long time, it seemed to be all benefits.

Li Xiue also nodded. The area she was responsible for was mostly in finance, and she would only go out to handle things if there was an emergency. In this way, it could reduce Qiu Hua's pressure.

An Yinan looked at them, "There are two channels for this manager: one is for us to find someone from the outside, and the other is to promote someone who is already with us."

"My intention is to let Wu Xia try."

Judging from the shop near the Dance University, she had underestimated this girl. She was not old, but she had her own way of doing things.

She was someone who didn't stand out in a crowd, but when singled out, she would be very outstanding.

"Let Wu Xia try it." Zhao Qiuhua also agreed; after all, she was one of their own, so they felt more at ease.

None of the three had any objections, so the matter was decided just like that.

"What about the two sisters?" Zhao Qiuhua asked.

An Yinan thought for a moment. If this matter were handled so easily, she was afraid that everyone would follow suit in the future and there would be endless trouble.

"That old shop assistant is to be fired directly, and she is not to be hired again in the future."

"As for that new shop assistant, issue a public notice and post it at the door of every shop. While letting everyone take it as a warning, it is also an attitude towards the customers."

If that person had left quietly today, her method of handling it would have been different; an internal punishment would have sufficed.

But she just had to refuse to leave quietly, and she herself did not want this matter to just fade away, so a public notice it is.

She also wanted to see which shop would accept an employee she had publicly fired.

After discussing these matters, An Yinan packed up some things. There were items she hadn't had time to give everyone when she went to Yangcheng last time, and she put them all in her bag.

She had already given the sisters' gifts, so only her friends in the dormitory were left.

"Nan Nan, you're back?" Everyone had already finished washing up and was preparing to sleep when they heard the dormitory door being knocked on.

Outside the door was An Yinan's smiling face.

And inside the door was Zhang Jia's yawning expression.

Her yawn hadn't even finished before it stopped abruptly, and only then did she ask in surprise.

An Yinan was afraid of disturbing others' rest, so after entering the room, she closed the door and then greeted everyone, "I'm back!"

"Welcome back," Zhou Ruo Ran said with a smile.

Everyone also chimed in together, "Nan Nan, welcome back."

"You've been gone for so long."

"I've missed you."

After Liu Erya finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

Liu Erya's temperament was relatively slow, and she had a sense of inferiority; she rarely expressed her thoughts.

Now that they heard her speak, everyone was a little surprised.

"You weren't here, and I didn't have notes," Liu Erya said timidly when she saw everyone's gaze.

Everyone burst into laughter, and An Yinan also shook her head helplessly.

"I brought you all something delicious." An Yinan pulled out strawberries, apples, and chocolate.

She gave Zhou Ruo Ran a separate bag, "This is milk powder bought in the south; it's a gift I'm giving to Tiedan."

"No, it's too expensive, and I have money now; I can support him." Nan Nan had already helped her too much, and she couldn't always take Nan Nan's things.

An Yinan stuffed it directly into her hands, "My family doesn't have any little children; this is specifically for kids."

Zhou Ruo Ran could only accept it; she would just have to draw well in the future to repay her.

"There are also gifts for everyone. Jia Jia, your silk scarf." The one she gave Zhang Jia was a tender yellow silk scarf. Although Zhang Jia didn't have a cool-toned fair complexion, her skin was also very fair, and with the yellow to set it off, she looked even fairer and more delicate.

"Thank you, Nan Nan." Zhang Jia did not stand on ceremony.

An Yinan handed Jiang Yun Duo a headband. This headband was very cute; it was a very light pink, making Jiang Yun Duo look very adorable.

This headband wasn't bought, but made by her herself. At the time, she had used Jiang Yun Duo as the prototype, and now looking at it, it was indeed extremely cute.

"This is for you." The item An Yinan gave to Zhou Ruo Ran was very special; it was a book.

Moreover, this book was one she had used before. She had torn off the dates and such, but the content inside was the real deal. If she studied it earnestly, she would definitely benefit greatly.

"Thank you." Zhou Ruo Ran was already worried about Nan Nan giving her things; she was already working her life away for her, and she didn't know how else to repay her.

If the item sent to Zhou Ruo Ran was special, then the item sent to Liu Erya was even more special.

"Remember the question you got wrong on the first exam?" An Yinan asked Liu Erya.

Liu Erya nodded; the question she got wrong, how could she not remember it?

"Look at this; it's that medicinal herb. Now it looks like it should be three years old." It was something like a potted green plant.

But it was also a traditional Chinese medicine.

In order to help Liu Erya remember, she had specifically found this medicinal herb and transplanted it into a flowerpot.

Liu Erya was surprised. Was this the medicinal herb she had gotten wrong?

Her heart was also full of emotion; apart from her mother and father, no one had ever been this good to her.

"Thank you." She had a bit of a nasal tone as she held the flowerpot tightly in her arms.

An Yinan waved her hand. The gifts for Zhang Jia and Jiang Yun Duo could be expensive, as long as they liked them. After all, these two people were not short of money, and there was no need to worry about the pressure of returning the favor.

But for Zhou Ruo Ran and Liu Erya, because their financial pressure was already great, if she gave them expensive things, it would instead make them feel uncomfortable.

It would be better to just give them some things that are useful to them.

That night, everyone chatted for a long time.

"Get up quickly, we're going to be late," Zhou Ruo Ran exclaimed; they had chatted too late yesterday, and today everyone had woken up late.

"Where is Nan Nan?" When Zhou Ruo Ran was patting everyone, she was still dazed, but when she walked to An Yinan's bed, she discovered that her bed curtain was already open, and the bedding was arranged very neatly, as if no one had lived there yesterday.

She couldn't help but suspect, was everything yesterday just a dream?

Could it be that Nan Nan didn't come back?
