Chapter 253: Chapter 254: You Don’t Despise Me (Third Update)_1

On Feng Gu’s first day at work, Nan Feng had her do some odd jobs like handling products and tidying up. On the second day, she showed Feng Gu how to use facial cleanser and face masks, as well as how to tell time.

Feng Gu was pretty bright. She caught on quickly with strong comprehension. Once Feng Gu mastered them, Nan Feng let her attend to some customers who came for the free trials.

Nan Feng only ran the free trial campaign for a month. Afterwards, the products had gained a good reputation so she didn’t need to continue the promotion. Instead, she just needed to get some to help write up usage instructions.

Nan Feng was quite pleased with Feng Gu. She thought this young lady was very honest. She eagerly undertook any task, came from a poor home too, was strong, with moving things not an issue for her. Nan Feng began to see her as a younger sister, often letting her handle the accounts.

When it came to money, Nan Feng kept a sharp account. She knew precisely how many boxes were sold each day and how much money should be collected. She kept a specific book to write down every transaction and would review it carefully every day after closing. She had no worries about Feng Gu interfering with the accounts. She believed in the saying "Trust those you employ, suspicion leaves no room for employment". She did not want to hire someone whose actions she would have to guard against all the time.

Times were tough, and Nan Feng wasn’t comfortable leaving money just lying around in the shop. Once she accumulated a significant amount, she would go to the Silver Bank and exchange it for banknotes, and leave these for safekeeping with Brother Ye. She thought this was the safest option, since who would dare steal from the dormitory in the Yamen? That was asking for trouble! Who would dare to steal from Brother Ye’s place! That would be an invitation to death.

Brother Ye’s dormitory.

Nan Feng counted the money - it was just over two hundred tael in banknotes.

"Look, all my wealth is here with you now. You’d better keep your keys on you at all times," Nan Feng said while counting the money.

Brother Ye silently pulled out an iron box, indicating for Nan Feng to put the banknotes in, "The key is still in its usual spot. They wouldn’t dare come in here, not to mention rummage through things."

"So, besides me, no one dares to come here? No wonder, anyone who enters, you would mistake it for me," Nan Feng teased Brother Ye.

Brother Ye did not address the incident last time and changed the topic completely, "Do you truly trust me to such an extent, leaving all your money here with me?"

Nan Feng gave him a smile, "Would you spend my money?"

"Of course I won’t," Brother Ye only took charge of safeguarding; he wouldn’t even touch it.

Nan Feng seriously pondered for a moment, "Actually, if you need some money for something, feel free to take some. I don’t mind because we..."

Will eventually become a couple.

Nan Feng couldn’t say it out, but Brother Ye understood. He embraced her from behind, and whispered in her ear, "Are you really okay with marrying someone who is ugly and poor?"

Nan Feng laughed, "I don’t mind. One person in the house, responsible for earning money; the other for being as stunning as a flower. So, do you mind these both being my responsibilities?"

"I used to not mind, but now I’m a bit bothered by it," Brother Ye hugged her a bit tighter.

"Actually, you don’t need to worry. You just need to be strong and do what men are supposed to do," Nan Feng said, then she realized that there seemed to be something off about what she just said.

Brother Ye released her, turning her to face him, his deep eyes filled with amusement, "What exactly are these tasks that strong men have to do? Care to explain?"

"..." Nan Feng stammered, "Like chopping wood, carrying wood, or... protecting me. Think about it, I’m just a weak woman. If anyone ever bullies me, you should be the one to stand up for me, right?"
