Chapter 573: Chapter 603: Burying the Hatchet
"Great!" Li Man was overjoyed. She was confident she could do a good job, and Qin Jiao’s generosity made her deeply regretful.
She quickly promised, "Boss, I’ll definitely work hard from now on. Just wait and see what I can do!"
"Good."
Having said that, Li Man suddenly thought of Sun Lili and looked at her guiltily.
"Sun Lili..."
Sun Lili forced a smile. "It’s fine. I know she’s more outstanding than me, and she has work experience, too. Choosing her in the end was the right call."
Qin Jiao said to Sun Lili, "That’s true. The legal affairs position is a better fit for Li Man. Sun Lili, would you be interested in working in business sales?"
Sun Lili looked a little lost. "But I don’t know much about it."
"Then how about a trial period? You can learn on the job. If you’re looking for a challenge, sales is the most challenging department there is. What do you say? Afraid to give it a try?"
Seeing the faint smile on Qin Jiao’s lips, Sun Lili was suddenly filled with the desire to fight for the spot. She immediately said, "I’ll do it! Boss, give me three months. I’ll master this field and get you results!"
Qin Jiao flipped through her calendar. "Perfect. In exactly three months, we’ll be launching the new autumn collection. The design department has already drawn up a sales plan for it. Go find Jiang Xiaoyue and discuss it with them."
She closed the file and said with a smile, "I’ll be waiting for your report cards in three months."
"Yes!"
The three of them, who had once argued and even fought over past conflicts, had now buried the hatchet.
In one’s younger school days, who hasn’t had their share of crushes?
Secret crushes, mutual love, or even unrequited feelings.
But none of that mattered. Those were memories of youth. Once they were in the past, it was time to step into a brand new future.
A few days later, Jiang Xiaoyue came and told Qin Jiao she had arranged to have lunch with Meng Lanlan that weekend.
When noon came, Qin Jiao and Jiang Xiaoyue headed to the restaurant. Qin Jiao was driving, and Jiang Xiaoyue was a nervous wreck. "Why don’t we just take a taxi? Ugh, I really need to learn how to drive."
The thought had never even occurred to her before—she wouldn’t have dared to consider it. But after working under Qin Jiao at Jiu Yi for a few years, she felt more and more that learning to drive was a necessity.
Even if she couldn’t afford a car now, what if she could in the future?
Qin Jiao said helplessly, "Oh, come on. I’m just pregnant, not deathly ill. People say pregnant women should be a little resilient. It’s good to get out and walk around."
"No way. Your dear President Shen gave me strict orders to watch over you and keep you company. But speaking of which, back in high school, President Shen was so cold and aloof. And now... Tsk, tsk. When it comes to love, there really is a lid for every pot, huh?"
Qin Jiao laughed and teased her, "So, has the one meant to tame you appeared yet?"
Jiang Xiaoyue froze for a second, then said, exasperated, "I’m not getting married anytime soon! I want to make a lot of money and take my mom traveling all over the country!"
Qin Jiao suddenly realized something. ’So this is the era where all my friends think a man will just slow down their earning potential.’
The thought of her own little sister, Xiao Shi, made her not know whether to laugh or cry.
’But really, any choice is a good one, as long as it’s what you truly want.’
Just as the two of them were about to reach the restaurant entrance, they saw Meng Lanlan standing there with a man. The man was impeccably dressed and had a refined air about him. With his deep-set features, he was quite handsome.
Jiang Xiaoyue smiled and waved at Meng Lanlan. "Meng Lanlan, you’re here already!"
