Chapter 431: Chapter 38 Child Bride

Lin Xiaoguai miscalculated this time; these high society ladies took a keen interest in custom products, not only to flaunt them as status symbols but also to earn favors by giving them to others if they had no use for them.

"Mrs. Liang, I really can’t reveal any information ahead of time. As I’ve said before, the launch of the custom service is based on a random draw from our Silver members and above, selecting someone’s birthday as the starting point. Currently, there are still a few Silver and Gold members who haven’t come to the store to process their membership cards, so the drawing has to be postponed," Lin Xiaoguai sighed in resignation, worn down by the persistence.

"It’s already May now. If we end up drawing someone whose birthday is between January and April, won’t that mean that the custom service can’t start until next year?" Mrs. Liang said discontentedly.

"There’s really nothing that can be done about it," Lin Xiaoguai responded coolly.

Another customer left disappointed.

"Boss, we need to restock the medicinal wine on the 29th," Lu Xiaoting said as she emerged from behind the shelves.

She was a new clerk at the gift shop, along with a girl named Xiang Yun. Both were junior high school graduates, one with a delicate appearance and the other sweet-looking, but both were hardworking and honest.

"I’m aware," Lin Xiaoguai put the ledger she was holding into a drawer, looked up and said, "I’ll restock the medicinal wine tomorrow morning. Watch the shop with Xiang Yun. I’m heading back."

"Understood, boss," Lu Xiaoting hesitated, then said, "My grandfather is being discharged from the hospital today. Could I leave a bit earlier?"

She hadn’t been working at the shop for long, and although the boss didn’t seem like the kind to make things difficult for others, she wasn’t sure if Lin Xiaoguai was truly easy-going or hypocritical, so she was quite nervous making the request.

Her current job conditions were really good, working only eight hours a day, and the work was light. Moreover, she earned a salary of 240 yuan a month, so she didn’t want to lose such a good job.

"You can, but if you leave a few hours early, those hours will be deducted from your pay," Lin Xiaoguai said.

"Additionally, you’ll need to ensure that someone is here to mind the store during business hours."

"Sure, I understand." Surprised that Lin Xiaoguai was so amicable, Lu Xiaoting quickly nodded in agreement.

Upon leaving Zhi Xin Garden, Lin Xiaoguai didn’t go home but headed directly to her sister-in-law Zheng Cuicui’s place.

Zheng Cuicui was on leave, and when Lin Xiaoguai explained her purpose, she couldn’t help but point to herself in astonishment, "Me, as the Vice Chairperson?"

Lin Xiaoguai nodded, "It’s really just a title. You won’t need to do overtime or check in regularly. Just turn up for important meetings."

"That shouldn’t be a problem. For such a Charitable Foundation, do you have enough money?" Zheng Cuicui thought Lin Xiaoguai, although appearing serene and calm, was quite capable when it came to doing things.

Although this was the first time she heard of the Charitable Foundation, she found the idea appealing. Without meaningful tasks, those high society ladies at home would only stir up trouble or indulge in competition and gossip. Why not give them something worthwhile to do?

"There’s enough. It’s not like everything has to be done in one go," Lin Xiaoguai said with a smile.

Seeing this, Zheng Cuicui also relaxed.

Han Shouzhen didn’t take much convincing, and upon hearing Lin Xiaoguai’s proposal, she agreed to be the Secretary-General of the Charitable Foundation.

For her third stop, Lin Xiaoguai planned to find Lv Huifang, a lady without children but known for her dignified and kind nature, whom she saw as the ideal candidate for the Foundation’s Chairman.

Though Lv Huifang could only sporadically visit the hospital and not actively perform surgeries due to health reasons, she had plenty of free time and no serious health issues. Being just over fifty, she wasn’t considered old and was fully capable of being the Foundation’s Chairman.

"Can I really do this?" Lv Huifang was quite moved after listening to Lin Xiaoguai but was a bit hesitant.

After all, this was her first time hearing about a Charitable Foundation. Despite having a basic understanding, she was somewhat intimidated by her lack of experience.

"No problem, we are all doing this for the first time with no experience. We’ll just have to figure it out," Lin Xiaoguai reassured.

In the end, Lv Huifang accepted the position.

Subsequently, Lin Xiaoguai began to visit those upper-class families frequently. Truth be told, it was quite a test for her.

In her past life as an editor, although she had dealt with many people and negotiated partnerships, those interactions always happened with mutual interest.

This time, however, was different; it was almost entirely Lin Xiaoguai "chasing" others for invitations. At first, it indeed made her uncomfortable, but as time went on and the occasions accumulated, she slowly got used to it and no longer felt ashamed.
