Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 265 - 264: Smashing the Door In (Fourth Update)
The Li Sisters have already entered their official probation period. The two of them work very hard, their enthusiasm for learning is strong, mainly because they were overjoyed to hear about the two hundred yuan salary.
In the past, while wandering around the city taking odd jobs, they’ve only managed the most menial labor, hardly earning anything, just earning tens of yuan for hard labor.
Now here, the work is clean and light, and they can still earn two hundred yuan a month, and the boss even provides accommodation. After calculating, they figured they only need to spend some money on meals, allowing them to save at least two hundred yuan a month.
This is more than enough to support their two younger brothers’ schooling and to take care of the family.
They can live a stable life without wandering around, and sometimes they would encounter sketchy people trying to take advantage of them. They’re not naive and know these people mean no good.
So when encountering such situations, they usually slip away quickly, sometimes not even daring to ask for their wages.
Having suffered so much, meeting such a kind-hearted boss, a female one at that, they no longer have to live in fear while making money. The two are sincerely grateful to Gu Xiaoqing.
That’s why when they work, they are full of energy, hating to have a moment where their feet touch the ground, eager to show their value, fearing the boss would think they are lazy, that they lack insight, and would fire them.
So each of them wishes they could split into eighteen people to work harder.
Moreover, their ability to adapt is strong, and their learning ability is not bad either. They belong to the clever and agile type, making Gu Xiaoqing feel like she’s found a treasure.
In just one week, Li Caimian and Li Caiqing were already able to get the hang of it, capable of making all the store’s products smoothly, with the taste and texture being identical.
Mr. Chen and Xiao Li could finally step back because the school was about to start.
Mr. Chen and Xiao Li were reluctant to leave this job; after all, they earned three hundred yuan a month. For these students doing part-time jobs, where else could they earn so much?
But they couldn’t skip school.
The two felt a bit regretful inside.
However, after Gu Xiaoqing talked to them, they suddenly felt relieved, not expecting such a mode of work existed.
Gu Xiaoqing’s idea was that in the afternoon, they could come and do part-time work, like hourly workers, paid by the hour, one yuan per hour, responsible for outside delivery and helping out in the store.
This only required their spare time, allowing them to earn some extra money.
The two were overjoyed.
Even though it seemed they earn less this way, they gained more freedom with their time, which to them, as students, was heavenly.
After all, Mr. Chen and Xiao Li also came from rural areas, needing living expenses and tuition fees.
The two immediately nodded in agreement.
Gu Xiaoqing also felt relieved.
Everything returned to the right track.
The only thing causing Gu Xiaoqing some disappointment was that Fang Shaohan seemed to have disappeared without a trace, not even a phone call.
Gu Xiaoqing felt somewhat disappointed.
Knowing the outcome is one thing, but actually facing such a result, her disappointment is unavoidable.
But the biggest gain this semester is that Gu Xiaoqing and Han Xiao became good friends.
This young gentleman often came to Gu Xiaoqing’s store; at first, she didn’t understand why, thinking that Fang Shaohan might have instructed Han Xiao to look after her, hence his frequent visits, which she later realized was not the case.
Why?
This young gentleman was being forced into marriage by his family. To avoid his family’s bombardment, Han Xiao spent all day hiding in Gu Xiaoqing’s milk tea shop, and at night, he would stay directly at Gu Xiaoqing’s house.
Since Gu Xiaoqing was still living in the dormitory, Han Xiao said the house was left empty and cold and that he was there to warm it up, adding a bit of vitality.
Gu Xiaoqing acquiesced; what else could she do?
This stubborn fellow, no amount of ridicule, scolding, or pleading seemed to work on him.
So Gu Xiaoqing could only take him in.
Of course, Han Xiao almost refused to leave once, just because once Gu Xiaoqing made a hot pot out of kindness, and the result was Han Xiao clinging onto his decision to stay, crying and shouting.
He even called Gu Xiaoqing’s store daily to order food, driving her mad.
This guy was really too shameless.
However, Gu Xiaoqing mostly chose to ignore Han Xiao.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, like now, when a group of people came to the front door, all of whom were tall and burly, clearly not good men, some bald with blue and purple tattoos on their arms, holding sticks and rods. When Gu Xiaoqing was about to leave after her patrol, she ran into them directly.
One look and she knew it was bad.
She quickly asked Li Caiqing to call Han Xiao while she stood in front to block them.
Because Gu Xiaoqing could tell they wanted to smash the store.
Not sure who they were, but if the store were destroyed, it would certainly be her loss.
The bald leader pulled a plastic chair from the entrance and sat cross-legged under the sunshade, pointing inside and saying, "You guys, do it."
The dozen or so men behind him, holding sticks, were about to charge in.
Gu Xiaoqing happened to be blocking their path.
"Hold on a minute."
Seeing a young girl, the dozen men looked Gu Xiaoqing up and down with sleazy grins, with one of them even whistling.
"Boss, this chick is really brave to tell us to hold on a minute like that," said the sleazy axe wielder to the bald leader on the chair, nicknamed Welder.
Welder chuckled and beckoned Gu Xiaoqing over, "Miss, you’d better step aside. My brothers have a rough touch, and if one of them carelessly scratched your face, despite my love for beauty, it might be too late."
A blatant threat.
A bunch of the hooligans were winking at Gu Xiaoqing and snickering at the Li Sisters behind the counter, which Gu Xiaoqing could clearly see as malicious.
But this was her hard work; she couldn’t just back down.
"Boss, I believe we’ve had no grievances in the past and no enmity recently. For you to come and attack us, at least let us know which deity we’ve offended so we don’t die without knowing why."
Gu Xiaoqing really didn’t know who she had offended.
Who was so determined to see her store shut down?
Without finding out, Gu Xiaoqing would rather sacrifice herself. She had already called the police, just hoping Han Xiao, that rascal, would come down quickly, at least to ensure the store wasn’t really smashed.
