Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 341 - Chapter 341: Chapter 315 Our House Xiao QianChapter 341: Chapter 315 Our House Xiao Qian
Yu Minglang took a look, his Xiao Mei was being surrounded, how could this be allowed?
He decisively stepped in!
“Dear neighbors, Xiao Qian’s current identity is indeed somewhat special, and it’s not convenient to talk about. If you say too much, it’ll leak secrets and violate regulations. If any of you want to ask for her help, you can wait until she opens her studio and queues up to call. All the neighbors can go there and get a 15% discount. That’s the friend price!”
“Seriously? Even for a few words, she charges money?”
“Of course, she doesn’t just talk for free. Do you know how much money she made from just a few sentences she said on TV today?”
The crowd all stretched their necks, waiting to hear.
Xiao Qian smiled as she watched Yu Minglang fooling people, and Chen Zilong, who was nibbling on an apple on the side, muttered to himself, “Aren’t these all my sister’s tactics? Can he even learn them?”
“Today, Xiao Qian can make at least 88,000! Who among you wants to ask her about anything? Come and line up at my place to register. My Xiao Qian can answer everything, Auntie, do you want to consult her about your son’s marriage and emotional problems? My Xiao Qian is good at that!”
The one who had just grabbed Xiao Qian the most fiercely now shook her head like a rattle drum.
“No, no, no, there are just some conflicts between the young couple. We can go home and mediate them ourselves. No need to bother Qian’er!” 88,000! How much is that even after a 15% discount!
Yu Minglang, even more enthusiastically, turned to another side, “Auntie, what do you want to ask, marriage and emotional dissatisfaction?”
“That’s just a minor issue, I can just divorce when I go home!” This one was even more blunt. Who would want another person’s help when it’s so expensive? They all thought Xiao Qian would help them for free.
Yu Minglang raised his head and amicably scanned the circle of neighbors who had just been thinking about getting Xiao Qian’s help in persuasion, enlightenment, and relief. They averted their gaze and fled as fast as they could.
“I just remembered that I still have a pot of food at home. Da Long’s mom, I’ll come back tomorrow!”
“Right, Da Long’s mom has raised such a good girl. Look at her, how much money she can make at home…” Everyone was sour.
It cost tens of thousands to take a look. Were they raising bandits to rob people?
Another aunt muttered quietly, “Is this something run by the state? Why else would the police come to her too…”
Xiao Qian almost burst out laughing. These people still didn’t understand her profession and mixed her up with those fortune-tellers in the village.
State-run? Why didn’t they say she was begging on imperial orders? It’s a good thing the nickname Boss Qian was given early on, or else she might have become Fairy Qian’er!
From the corner of her eye, she saw Yu Minglang, who was indeed very good at dealing with people. He wasn’t stupid at all. As she promptly stepped on the pain points of these middle-aged and elderly women who liked to take advantage of people, they left faster than anything.
Yu Minglang enthusiastically waved to the neighbors, “If you need help, make sure to come to my Xiao Qian! Don’t be shy, everyone is welcome!”
The neighbors made haste to leave, fearing that if they were too late, Yu Minglang would solicit business for them.
When most of the people had left, Xiao Qian asked Yu Minglang.
“When did I become someone with a special status, and what’s with the 88,000? Comrade in the military, your current level of awareness is really worrying.”
Yu Minglang imitated Xiao Qian’s typical blinking action, even the tone was imitating Xiao Qian, “What I said, they’re all true.”
Facing Xiao Qian’s teasing gaze, Yu Minglang spread his hands.
“Your status is special, you’re a quasi-military dependent, and you belong to a highly confidential department. Isn’t that special?”
Jia Xiufang looked on, feeling a little guilty.
“Qian’er, these people are our neighbors, is it okay to do so?”
“Absolutely not a problem! Aunt, we can’t let a precedent be set. Our Xiao Qian is excellent, but that’s because of her own hard work and achievements. Why should these people want to take advantage of her? After Xiao Qian graduates, she’ll be a consultant, and it’s supposed to be a paid service. If all these people keep coming for free help, what will she become?”
Yu Minglang said seriously, and Xiao Qian nodded. He understood her well.
“Mom, Minglang did nothing wrong. I can’t bring trouble to myself just to please everyone. These people usually don’t interact much, but they think I can handle problems easily and want to take advantage of it. If everyone comes to me for free help, what will I become?”
“Just think of it this way. If our Xiao Qian were to open a steamed bun shop, wouldn’t she charge for the buns? Her job is the same, it’s all paying for labor, whether it’s mental or physical. We can’t let her do everything for free.”
Jia Xiufang snapped her mouth shut, not saying anything.
Although what Yu Minglang said made sense, she felt strange. She actually wanted to ask when her daughter had become “our Xiao Qian”?
“So, brother-in-law, how did you say that my sister made 88,000 in one day?” Chen Zilong asked while eating his apple.
“That’s because—” Yu Minglang glanced at his mother, who had been watching the excitement. Oh, look at our son’s eager face, and he is so talkative in front of Xiao Qian’s mother. How come we never saw him so talkative at home?
So raising a son is not as good as raising a daughter, who is more considerate. He went to his mother-in-law’s house, and with his glib tongue, he flattered Xiao Qian’s mother so much that she was speechless. When Mother Yu thought of telling her spouse about this when he returned from his business trip, she chuckled inwardly.
While silently complaining about her son, her face showed no expression. Mother Yu didn’t forget her mission, and today she had to settle the matter.
Mother Yu stepped forward, affectionately holding Jia Xiufang’s hand.
“My younger sister, I wanted to come over long ago. I just wanted to see who raised our girl so well – so sensible and understanding. Today, at first sight, it’s true that like mother, like daughter. Raising Xiao Qian to be such a good girl isn’t easy, my younger sister!”
This intimate address, this sincere expression, this undisguised show of flattering – it was exactly like Yu Minglang. Xiao Qian laughed and glanced at Yu Minglang, knowing who he must have inherited his EQ from.
Although these obviously exaggerated compliments were somewhat extravagant, Jia Xiufang enjoyed them. Who wouldn’t like to hear their child being praised?
She modestly replied, “It’s not as good as you say. But my daughter followed after me, with good character. Although our family’s conditions are average, we take children’s education very seriously.”
“That’s right, good character is important. I was really attracted to Xiao Qian’s virtue. Today, I’m not here to ask for an invitation, but to discuss the engagement of our two children. I really like our Xiao Qian! She’s so sensible and knows when to advance or retreat. Our entire family likes her very much. Of course, the person who likes her most is our youngest son. While our Xiao Qian is still studying, we really can’t wait any longer, so we’re asking you to let Xiao Qian and our youngest get engaged first. Don’t worry, with us, our youngest son will definitely treat our Xiao Qian well.”
Xiao Qian was officially renamed as “our Xiao Qian,” and it rolled smoothly off the tongue.
