Chapter 1259 - 1260: Qi Fenglian, You Shameless Woman
Chapter 1259: Chapter 1260: Qi Fenglian, You Shameless Woman
The little whirlwind stirred by Old Zhou and his wife upon their glamorous return swiftly passed. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the weather gradually turned cooler. Qi Taiguo went on a mission, and while Cheng Su occasionally thought of him, having Xiao Yun by her side kept her from feeling too lonely.
Afraid the little girl might feel lonely at home alone, Cheng Su occasionally took her to the jam factory or brought her to the restaurant. Of course, she also visited Qi Fenglian.
After confirming Qi Fenglian’s intentions and asking Xiao Yun about her own wishes, they both decided that Xiao Yun would attend elementary school in Qing City and continue there for middle school. Cheng Su then leveraged her own connections to find her a school, registered a spot, and planned to handle the transfer formalities when they returned for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Xiao Yun could start school in September.
Both Qi Fenglian and her daughter noticed Cheng Su’s kindness towards Xiao Yun. Qi Fenglian only taught Xiao Yun to be obedient and to be filial towards her aunt in the future, while Xiao Yun made a silent resolution to emulate her aunt and promised herself to help Cheng Su in the future, as being filial was essential.
Xiao Yun’s thoughts didn’t really concern Cheng Su, as she always acted according to her conscience.
On the third day of Qi Taiguo’s mission, there was still no news whatsoever, and it was unclear how the mission was progressing.
Seeing there wasn’t much to do, Cheng Su took Xiao Yun for a stroll, then turned towards the fast food restaurant at the train station to see Qi Fenglian and Baobao.
By three or four in the afternoon, it wasn’t meal time yet, so not many people were there. Qi Fenglian was playing with Baobao, and Xiaohua was also teasing him. Seeing Cheng Su arrive, their eyes lit up.
"Go play with your brother and sister!" Cheng Su gave Xiao Yun a nudge, then started talking with Qi Fenglian and glanced at the accounts.
"Uncle passed his college entrance exams, and the family is hosting a meal. Are you going back for it?" Cheng Su asked Qi Fenglian, "Have you arranged your holidays?"
"Everything’s arranged. While I’m away, Shi Ling will manage things," Qi Fenglian replied.
Cheng Su nodded. Shi Ling had been around for over a year and was quite capable on her own. The candidate for promotion, Xiaoying, had started dating a junior officer from the military district after a get-together last year. After half a year, they got married. Now pregnant and with an unstable pregnancy, her family was worried about her moving around at the restaurant, so they had her quit her job and rest at home.
Cheng Su felt a bit regretful about this. Xiaoying was a promising talent, but family came first, so she had to put her career aside for now.
Xiaoying herself also felt it was a pity and straightforwardly told Cheng Su that if she came back to work, she’d expect Cheng Su to hire her back.
Running a bigger restaurant now, Cheng Su certainly needed more staff and appreciated Xiaoying’s capabilities. She assured her that after having her baby, if there was still a position available, she’d allocate it to her. Only then did Xiaoying feel relieved.
With Xiaoying gone, Cheng Su promoted Shi Ling. Over the past year, Shi Ling, though quiet and reserved, proved herself competent and meticulous, so Cheng Su made her an assistant manager, ensuring someone was in charge while Qi Fenglian was on leave.
The two sisters-in-law kept an eye on the kids while quietly chatting about family affairs, when suddenly, someone burst in yelling.
"Qi! Qi Fenglian, you shameless woman, come out here!"
Qi Fenglian and Cheng Su both frowned and looked up, seeing a round woman standing at the doorway, glaring and yelling at them!
Qi Fenglian looked bewildered. Who was this? She didn’t recognize her at all!
