Chapter 1166

~9 min read 1,632 words

Gaining the support of all the etiquette ladies allowed Xiao Weiwei to successfully take the first step in taking over the Shangmei Etiquette Company.

She stayed busy at the company until very late before she barely caught the last bus and dragged her exhausted body back to the Tang Chen Yi Pin villa.

Since Xiao Weiwei went out to work, the Xiao family could barely be considered not starving. There was a little rice at home, though they didn't dare say they could let Old Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Changgan, and Xiao Hailong, these two useless people, eat vegetables and meat, at least they could steam a pot of white rice to satisfy their hunger when they were hungry.

When Xiao Weiwei returned home, Old Mrs. Xiao had just finished serving Xiao Changgan and Xiao Hailong white rice, and she herself used boiling water to brew half a bowl of rice, sprinkled some salt on it, and ate it alone.

Seeing Xiao Weiwei return, she couldn't help but complain: "Weiwei, why did you come back so late today? I was exhausted serving your father and brother alone at home, and you didn't say you would get off work early to come back and help me."

Xiao Weiwei said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Grandma, there were many things at the company, so I was delayed for a while..."

Old Mrs. Xiao said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it just being an etiquette lady? You should have taken the money and come back after it was over. How could it be so late?"

Xiao Hailong, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but open his mouth: "Right, Weiwei, I especially wanted to eat a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge today. I was saying that when you earned money and came back early, I'd buy half a catty of pork and two preserved eggs, but I've been waiting until now..."

Xiao Changgan, who was lying beside Xiao Hailong, sighed and said: "Weiwei, Dad always has cramps these two days. Once it cramps, it hurts to the heart, and it won't be better for a while. It seems like it's because of malnutrition and lack of calcium for this period of time. Can you think of a way to buy Dad a box of calcium tablets?"

Xiao Weiwei looked at the pitiful appearance of her father and brother, and felt very heartbroken. She really wanted to tell them about her experience today, let them know that Ye Chen gave her a very good opportunity, let her manage a company, and gave her a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan.

However, thinking of Ye Chen's instructions not to cause extra trouble and to keep silent, she suppressed the impulse and said: "Dad, Brother, you two just hold on. The company adjusted my position and let me be a management person. I can get a salary of ten thousand yuan a month. I will ask the finance department to advance half a month's salary tomorrow, and I will definitely improve our family's living state."

Xiao Changgan asked in surprise: "Weiwei, is what you said all true?! You really became a management person in the company?!"

Xiao Hailong also hurriedly asked: "Weiwei, is it really ten thousand yuan a month?!"

Xiao Weiwei nodded and said seriously: "It really is ten thousand yuan a month."

As she spoke, she took out the latest Apple phone Ye Chen bought for her, and said with gratitude: "The boss saw I didn't have a phone and it wasn't convenient for work, so he specially gave me one..."

"Go!" Xiao Hailong suddenly got excited and blurted out: "Sister! You are going to be prosperous! A phone worth more than ten thousand, your boss gave it to you as soon as he said so, he is really too generous!"

Old Mrs. Xiao on the side was also moved to tears, and she choked up: "If Weiwei can really get ten thousand yuan a month, that's more than three hundred a day. With so much money, our family's life will be much better!"

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Xiao calculated: "Current pork is only twenty or thirty yuan a catty, ordinary rice is about three yuan a catty. Our family of four, one catty of pork and two catties of rice a day, plus some green vegetables, at most seventy or eighty yuan for food expenses. Buy some milk every day to supplement calcium, one hundred yuan is enough. Changgan and Hailong can also eat some medicine to speed up recovery. Even if they spend another one hundred yuan a day, there is still one hundred left! This is still one hundred surplus!"

Xiao Hailong burst into tears: "Grandma, I can finally eat some meat every day..."

"Right..." Old Mrs. Xiao sighed and continued: "When you and your father recover, you should also find a job. Don't dare to hope to earn a lot of money, but for the two of you, earning five or six thousand a month is more than enough. When that day comes, our family will have an income of fifteen or sixteen thousand a month. When that day comes, our life will be considered to have made it out!"

Hearing this, Xiao Weiwei felt very melancholy.

She thought to herself: "The Xiao family in the past, dare not say rich and noble, but at least they had tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in assets..."

"At that time, the whole family had to eat tens of thousands of yuan or more a month just for food."

"But everyone was not satisfied at that time, always feeling that life was not good enough, and tried every means to climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix..."

"Now, after experiencing so many things, the family's requirements for life have also experienced a cliff-like fall."

"They were not satisfied with eating well before, but now, as long as they can eat a piece of meat every day and save a little deposit every day, in the eyes of the family, it is already a good life they dream of..."

"Although it is very sad to think about, it is indeed very ironic..."

Thinking of this, Ye Chen's appearance appeared in Xiao Weiwei's mind, and she thought in her heart: "Ye Chen is the most down-to-earth person. Even in the poorest days, he can live down-to-earth. When he becomes the Master Ye respected by everyone in the upper class of Jin Ling, he can also not forget his original intention and live down-to-earth with Xiao Churan..."

Thinking of this, she took out her phone and quietly added Ye Chen on WeChat.

Ye Chen had just finished eating when Qin Gang called him on voice. After connecting, he said respectfully: "Master Ye, Aoxue told me that you asked me to host a banquet at home to entertain everyone. I don't know what time is convenient for you?"

Ye Chen said: "It's already Thursday, so let's tentatively set it for Friday night, what do you think?"

Qin Gang said respectfully: "My time is no problem, everything is based on your time, Master Ye."

Ye Chen gave a hum and said: "Then let's set it for Friday night, help me invite everyone."

Qin Gang hurriedly said: "Master Ye, I will report the number of people to you, see if it's correct."

"Good."

Qin Gang said: "First is Miss Song and Old Master Song of the Song family, then is Divine Doctor Shi Tianqi, then is President Chen Zekai, the richest man in Haicheng Li Tailai, Master Hong Wu, Wang Zhenggang of the Wang family, and Wei Liang of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical."

Ye Chen said: "Remember to invite Vice Chairman Wang Dongxue of the Dihao Group."

Qin Gang immediately said: "Okay Master Ye, I will call Vice Chairman Wang in a moment and tell her."

Ye Chen said: "Then I'll trouble you to help me arrange it."

Qin Gang immediately said respectfully: "Master Ye, you don't need to be so polite with me! If you have any matters, just give instructions!"

Ye Chen gave a hum and said with a smile: "I will go over a few hours early to give Aoxue some guidance, and by the way, send you a small gift."

Hearing this, Qin Gang's voice trembled with excitement. He realized that Ye Chen might be giving him the Rejuvenation Pill. The whole person carried an excitement that was difficult to restrain, and he blurted out: "Master Ye! Thank you so much!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "You're welcome, let's leave it at that, see you tomorrow."

"Okay Master Ye, see you tomorrow!"

Ye Chen hung up Qin Gang's voice call and suddenly saw a new friend prompt in his WeChat contacts.

He clicked on it and found that the friend request was sent by Xiao Weiwei, so he clicked to pass the verification.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Weiwei sent a sentence: "Brother-in-law, I have already settled the company. There are nearly three hundred etiquette ladies willing to cooperate with the company. I'm reporting to you!"

Ye Chen was also surprised by the number of people, thinking that Xiao Weiwei should have done quite well, so he replied: "Very good, keep up the good work."

Xiao Weiwei hurriedly said: "Okay brother-in-law, I will go all out!"

Immediately afterward, she sent another sentence: "Brother-in-law, I have something I want to apply to you..."

Ye Chen asked: "Tell me."

Xiao Weiwei said: "Brother-in-law, there are many places in the family that need money. I want to advance half a month's salary from you, is that okay?"

Ye Chen knew she must have some difficulties, so he agreed directly and replied: "No problem, just say hello to the finance department."

Xiao Weiwei immediately sent a grateful expression and said: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
