Chapter 446: Chapter 448 - I’m not chasing Dragon Three anymore_1

"Not feeling well? You’ve been out for quite a while now. Don’t you want to go back?"

Xue Ling opened her mouth, intending to reply, but Nan Feng continued, "Maybe I should find someone from Da Ping Village? But most people there are illiterate. It would take a while for them to be trained. I have considered Feng Gu, but Feng Gu...she just lacks the guts. She’s too timid and apprehensive. It would be fine if we were in Ping County at the headquarters, it’s our territory. Any problems, we could get help from Ye Ge and Wu Yang, and avoid any major mess. But coming here is not the same. Li Moxiu has the capability, but he is a man after all."

At the end of all this, Nan Feng suddenly held her cheek in regret: "Ah, if it weren’t for Wan Fengzhen’s bullying, I wouldn’t have traveled all this way to open a branch."

Xue Ling lazily lifted her eyelids: "So you don’t have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Xue Ling looked at her expectantly.

But Nan Feng just shook her head and Xue Ling’s expression darkened.

At that moment, Nan Feng suddenly called out: "Xue Ling?"

Xue Ling thought Nan Feng had finally understood her intentions, and her face lit up once again.

But all Nan Feng said was, "Could you help me write a job advertisement? Let’s see if we can find the right person."

Xue Ling’s face fell again in disappointment.

It wasn’t until they were on their way home that Xue Ling couldn’t hold herself back any longer and reminded Nan Feng, "Do you really not have a suitable candidate?"

Nan Feng asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate you would recommend, Xue Ling?"

"Me," said Xue Ling.

On hearing that, Nan Feng suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared at Xue Ling in surprise. Xue Ling blushed at the look and couldn’t help retorting, "What’s wrong? Amongst all, I am the best. It’d be a great loss if I were to manage your branch. Aren’t you satisfied?"

Nan Feng still continued staring at Xue Ling, "Did I hear wrong, you want to stay here and run the store for me? Are you not going back to Ping County? What about your Long San? Aren’t you going after him anymore? No, I mean, I’m not encouraging you to pursue Long San. Just worried that you will impulsively run back to him after working for a short time. Then who would mop up the mess for me?"

Xue Ling had offered to stay with a thick skin, but was rejected by Nan Feng outright, causing her to lose face.

"Forget it. Your loss if you don’t want someone like me. It’s not my loss," she said, turning to leave.

"Wait a minute," said Nan Feng, catching up and smiling, "Is that how you apply for a job? Acting more regally than the boss? Your attitude doesn’t show sincerity. If you stay, what about your shop in Ping County? You’re abandoning it?"

Xue Ling replied, "Long San found that shop for me. That entire area is his territory. If I leave, he’d naturally take it back."

"And the goods you used to sell? And the places where you lived before?"

"Long San will arrange for people to sort them out. He probably can’t wait for me to leave," said Xue Ling, her tone changing from pride to melancholy. "Since I was brought to Ping County by Long San, most of my food, belongings, even the shop, were given to me by him. I seem like a parasite living under a big tree.

Having been with you for this period, I’ve learned some values from you. You are someone who knows what you want and how to plan for yourself. But me? Running a shop just to make ends meet, without wanting to expand business, and chasing men all day, any man would grow tired of me. So, I should plan for myself now. At least I need to achieve financial independence. I may be independent in Ping County, sometimes even paying Long San shop rent, but it’s only paid when I earn money and not paid when I don’t. I want true independence, like your way."
