Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Patrolling the Territory

Wang Xiaoya explained to Long Fei, "Zhang Li recently got together with Zhang Dongliang’s boss, a man who’s well into his forties and owns several Audi 4S stores in the city. I guess they’re probably planning to get married?"

Long Fei rubbed his head with a smile, thinking to himself, so that was it.

It was quite normal to show off in front of former classmates when you had money.

While they were talking, Wang Xiaoya’s phone rang.

She answered it and it was a call from Zhang Li, asking her for help in contacting classmates.

They were to meet the next evening at Di Zun Clubhouse, the most luxurious venue in the whole city.

Wang Xiaoya agreed to her request, she wouldn’t go if it were someone else asking her out to eat. But if it was Zhang Li who asked, she couldn’t refuse.

Zhang Li also made a point of asking Wang Xiaoya to bring Long Fei with her.

Wang Xiaoya agreed with a laugh, hung up the phone, and shrugged at Long Fei, saying, "Well, it really does seem like Zhang Li is getting married."

"Getting married?"

Long Fei was surprised for a moment, not expecting Zhang Li to be so daring.

She could actually stomach being with a man in his forties to fifties.

Wang Xiaoya sat down next to him, cocked her mouth towards him, and asked, "When are you going to marry me?"

Long Fei chuckled dryly, finding this question truly challenging.

What should have been a simple matter was becoming increasingly difficult for him.

Wang Xiaoya took a deep breath and said sullenly, "Fine, I get what you mean. Trying to please both sides without offending either, right?"

"Are you mad?"

Long Fei pinched her little mouth.

Wang Xiaoya lay in his arms, hugged him from the side, and sighed, "How dare I get mad at you now? I always felt that we were equals before.

I could act spoiled and throw tantrums with you because I knew you wouldn’t leave me, and I had that confidence.

But now you’re moving ahead so fast, I’m tired, and no matter how much I chase, I can’t catch up.

Our love now seems like it’s charity from you. If one day you’re not happy and don’t want me anymore, then you’ll just not want me.

In front of you, I have no confidence at all now.

These past few days I’ve figured it out, maybe I won’t have ’one life, one pair’ in this lifetime. However long you want to love me, that’s up to you. Either way, I’m not going to be the first to let go."

Long Fei stroked her head, feeling a pang of guilt inside.

He was just a poor kid who came to the city to pick up trash, how on earth could he deserve her deep love?

He thought about it, and the best way to repay her now was to stay true to himself and try to avoid any relationship with Lin Yingying as much as possible.

Perhaps over time, this tangled mess would untangle itself.

They chatted in the shop for over an hour, and Leilei and the others hadn’t come back.

Wang Xiaoya felt embarrassed, after all, this was a place of business.

No matter how good her relationship with Leilei was, it couldn’t affect business!

She snuggled into Long Fei’s arms and dozed off for a short while, embarrassingly falling asleep.

When she woke up, she quickly took out her phone and called Leilei to ask her to bring everyone back to work.

If the boss behind them found out, he would give them hell.

Long Fei watched her industriously working and heaved a sigh of relief.

She had suffered some wrongs, but she wasn’t defeated.

After Leilei returned with the waitstaff, she greeted each of them with a smile.

Wang Xiaoya instructed Long Fei, "I’ve got to work now. If you’ve got stuff to do, go ahead and take care of it!"

Long Fei had come today especially for her and had no other business.

He was supposed to help Lin Yingying settle the West City Logistics Park matter, but Shen Yan’er said she wasn’t in Binhai City today; she had accompanied her grandfather back to Capital City.

She told Long Fei to contact her tomorrow since she would be back then.

With nothing else to do, Long Fei purposely asked Leilei, "Manager Zhang, may I wait here for Little Ya?"

Leilei played along, "Of course, there’s a computer at the front desk, you can sit there and play for a while."

Wang Xiaoya anxiously pulled her aside and whispered, "Are you not afraid of getting scolded if the boss sees you?"

Leilei said, "What’s to be scared of? The boss doesn’t come by more than once a month, it’s fine."

Wang Xiaoya was still somewhat worried, always fearing that she would cause trouble for her best friend.

She saw Long Fei was quite carefree, really treating the place like his own home.

He sat down behind the reception desk and even had Leilei pour him a cup of coffee.

Wang Xiaoya couldn’t stand how he was acting like a big shot.

She stopped Leilei and made the coffee for him herself.

Long Fei focused on the computer, opening this month’s bills to take a look.

Wang Xiaoya put down the coffee and exclaimed with wide eyes, "What are you randomly looking at? Don’t mess up the computer."

Long Fei lied, "It’s nothing, I’m just learning how you do the financial statements. One day, I’ll open my own clothing store and hire you as the manager."

Wang Xiaoya pouted, "Get lost, I’m not relying on you to feed me."

When a customer arrived, she reminded Long Fei again not to mess with the computer and immediately went over to serve with a sweet smile.

Watching her from behind, Long Fei thought that working women are indeed the most beautiful, emanating confidence and energy all over.

Leilei came over and sat beside him.

She usually worked here, handling not only financial statements but also restocking, organizing merchandise, and dealing with difficult customers.

She meticulously explained the accounts to Long Fei. Although he had delegated authority, it did not mean he did not care at all.

After all, he had invested his own money and needed to see a return on investment.

Otherwise, trusting someone too much without any constraints could end up harming that person.

After he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he found his mind to be sharper than before.

Everything was indelibly etched in his memory.

After Leilei explained it once, he quickly managed to sort out all those numbers.

It must be said, she valued her job very much.

The financial statements were very clear, showing the exact profits, expenses, daily turnover, and net income.

Every month, Long Fei would leave a hundred thousand in the account as a revolving fund, and the profits would be transferred to his bank card.

Each month, he only needed to check the accounts and ensure the inventory was correct to rest assured that he could leave the store in Leilei’s hands.

Technically, Wang Xiaoya could have done these tasks for him.

This store was intended for Wang Xiaoya, after all.

But knowing her stubborn personality, Long Fei was afraid she would not accept it, so for the time being, he could not tell her yet.

In one day, Long Fei basically familiarized himself with the store’s operations.

He had even gone through the warehouse inventory with Leilei.

While the franchise fees for these brands were expensive, the profits were frighteningly high; clothes could be sold at least at a fifty percent markup.

They did not rely on volume here; just having one big customer on any given day was enough to turn a profit.

Recently, Leilei had also set up an online shop for the store and spent money on several promotions, which turned out quite well.

The staff looked at Leilei, bewildered, wondering how deep her feelings for Wang Xiaoya must be to treat Xiaoya’s boyfriend with such earnestness.

Wang Xiaoya felt even more perplexed, not wanting to trouble Leilei, yet Long Fei was so at ease, looking and touching everything as if he owned the place.

She ignored Long Fei and dedicated herself to her work, truly professional.

By the end of the day, she actually made over a dozen sales, with five or six being repeat customers.

Each person spent over a thousand, with commissions exceeding a thousand yuan each.

Just for today, she could earn a bonus of five to six thousand yuan.

The other employees couldn’t even feel jealous. She was not only attractive but also naturally approachable.

Whether it was a man or a woman who came in, she greeted them with a sweet smile, and everyone liked to buy clothes from her.

Long Fei finally understood why the female employees here were somewhat hostile towards Wang Xiaoya.

She was too excellent and naturally became the target of jealousy.

No matter where one worked, this was unavoidable.
