Nangong Beiying flipped through the pages of information collected by her four subordinates.
After a while, she finally spoke, “Feng, handle the affairs of the old man’s family as you see fit, let them know that if they can’t unite as members of the Nangong family, they will be completely removed.
Cloud, select some talented individuals who want to form alliances or marriages with the Nangong family, and arrange a time for us to meet.
Thunder, prepare the medicinal bath for my father according to this prescription, and this one is for his internal use.
Rain, we can leave the eldest young master’s affairs alone for now, we’ll meet if it’s meant to be.
Now I have a task for you, take this and go to the old district, buy all the siheyuans there, and any larger pieces of land that are available.” Nangong Beiying instructed one by one.
“Yes, Miss, we’ll take care of it now,” Feng, Cloud, and Thunder answered unanimously, but Rain remained silent.
“What’s wrong? Any issues?” Nangong Beiying looked at the youngest, Rain, and asked.
“Miss, why am I in charge of purchasing these? I’m good at finding people, but our leader is better at purchasing. Why doesn’t he do it?” Rain asked, puzzled.
“Feng has his own tasks. Why did I assign you to purchase? It’s because you are good at gathering inside information, and your innocent and adorable appearance won’t make people as defensive. You need to learn how to use your advantages to accomplish what you need to do.
As long as you know how to take advantage of your strengths, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Do you still have any questions after hearing this?” Although Nangong Beiying studied medicine, her parents were in business.
She grew up under the influence of her parents and couldn’t help but understand these things. Her father said she would inherit everything from the Chu family, but who would have thought, before she could do that, she ended up here dealing with this mess.
“No more questions, Miss. I’ll get to it now.” Rain took the passbook handed over by Nangong Beiying.
“Miss, we’ll go too.” The other three spoke in unison.
“Go ahead.” Nangong Beiying said faintly. After they left, she rubbed her brow.
Suddenly, she felt exhausted, her heart tired. This huge mess was really enough to keep her busy.
She now believed that heaven had not sent her here to find her destiny but to do hard labor.
She wondered if the man understood the meaning of her leaving that plant behind.
No matter if he understood or not, she shouldn’t disturb his life. It will be what it will be. Whatever was meant to come, would come eventually.
Nangong Beiying went to the storeroom and prepared some pills, intending to start a new business for the Nangong family – selling medicinal pills.
Once Nangong Beiying focused her mind on her work, she would forget everything else until it was done.
Thus, matters of men and trivialities were forgotten.
“Boss, you take the wheel, I’ll rest.” Xiao Qi had grown tired of driving and asked Chu Molin to take over while he held their child.
Just like Qin Xue said, safety comes first, not trying to show off.
“Alright, Yu Ze, go to Uncle, let Daddy drive.” Chu Molin looked at his son’s big eyes and spoke to him.
“Boss, I’m really envious of you.” Xiao Qi suddenly wanted to get married and have children too.
“If you’re envious, go find a woman and have children. I’m sure your family would be thrilled.” Chu Molin got out of the car, handed the child to Xiao Qi, and got into the driver’s seat.
“I’ll pass on that for now, we can talk about it later.” Xiao Qi didn’t want to just find any woman to marry; life was too long for that, and he wasn’t willing to settle.
“I knew you’d say that. Marriage isn’t actually that terrifying, it’s quite wonderful instead.” Chu Molin glanced at his dozing wife through the rearview mirror. His wife was sleeping, but her hand held their child tightly. Maybe this was maternal love – the first reaction was always to protect their child, no matter the circumstance.
