Chapter 1912: Chapter 1906: Trust in Chu Xiaoqiao
"I’ve discussed this with him before, and he understands. Now we’re working in two shifts: he takes the morning shift, and I cover the afternoon or evening shift. This way, it won’t interfere with his time for going out on dates with his girlfriend," said Chu Xiaoqiao, arranging things with his lifelong happiness in mind.
"Good, this arrangement is quite good. I actually came today to talk about this with you. Whether it’s Tianci or you, rotating shifts like this means you both have time for your personal matters, whether it’s dating or something else. Just arrange it yourselves," Qin Xue said. Once she’s set things in motion, she won’t excessively interfere in Chu Xiaoqiao’s decisions; she just wants the shop to run smoothly.
"Don’t worry, Sis-in-law. Currently, it’s Tianci’s situation that needs attention. I don’t have much going on, so I’m perfectly capable of taking care of the shop," Chu Xiaoqiao replied, as An Hao could manage her work there, leaving her free to handle the shop well.
"Honestly, I’m really not worried; I trust that you’ll do well," Qin Xue glanced back at her little sister-in-law. This sister-in-law, she was unsure of how the Chus raised her before. Clearly such a capable person, yet previously not practical at all. But now, after Qin Xue guided her, look at her now—she’s become her right hand.
She wondered if treating Chu Xiaoqiao like this would lead her parents to say she was pushing their daughter too hard and making her life difficult.
Qin Xue didn’t want to return to The Chus, but that didn’t mean she wanted people to think of her that way. Just that she wanted to be a hands-off manager now.
"I must really thank Sis-in-law for trusting me. I’ll definitely accomplish the tasks you’ve entrusted to me," Chu Xiaoqiao suddenly felt a surge of confidence. Sis-in-law thought so highly of her; she needed to do an even better job not to let down the trust given.
"Yes, it’s essential to do well, but don’t push yourself too hard. By the way, how’s your makeup learning going? Do you dare to manage a store alone?" Qin Xue was thinking about opening a traditional Chinese wedding attire shop with An Hao to venture into the Imperial Capital market.
"Sis-in-law, are you planning to open a new shop?" Chu Xiaoqiao’s eyes lit up; Sis-in-law was truly impressive.
"You’re quick-minded, aren’t you?" Qin Xue didn’t deny it, surprised that with just a hint, Chu Xiaoqiao could guess her intention.
"Well, of course, consider who’s been teaching me," Chu Xiaoqiao thought her greatest achievement in life was shamelessly staying at Qin Xue’s house, receiving hands-on guidance from her. Otherwise, where would she be today?
"Had some candy? Your words are so sweet." Qin Xue laughed at her sister-in-law; youth is wonderful.
"Haha, Sis-in-law’s teaching is excellent. It has nothing to do with eating candy, because what I’m saying is true," Chu Xiaoqiao laughed heartily.
"Alright then, I didn’t know you had this side to you," Qin Xue shook her head. Indeed, it seems you need to interact more to truly understand someone.
"I’ve always been like this; it’s just that I didn’t interact much with others before. Otherwise, why do you think people say I’m cold, arrogant, and don’t want to mingle? It’s because of this." Chu Xiaoqiao reflected that the remarks about her from others weren’t flattering, often labeled as cold or standoffish.
"That’s true. If someone doesn’t engage much with others, they really do leave that kind of impression," Qin Xue nodded in agreement, acknowledging the strange psychology people have.
