Chapter 119: What is Tong Yao Doing in School?
"You’re in such a hurry to come here just for this?" Si Chen’s eyes, deep as ink, looked at Tong Yao. His calm tone kept his thoughts hidden.
"Yes." Tong Yao nodded vigorously, her petit mouth pouting as she complained, "He Fang, who used to work for me, is now operating on her own. She even set up her stall right next to mine and steals my customers. Her prices are half of mine. Luckily, there’s a vacant premises at the school gate, I want to rent it, invest in a fridge, and sell cold drinks."
"Don’t underestimate selling cold drinks. I can easily earn more than a thousand yuan a month with it. If I miss this moneymaking opportunity, I will be heartbroken. So... can you help me this time?"
Tong Yao chattered away nervously, anxiously watching every expression on Si Chen’s face, fearing that he might refuse.
Being a doctor is considered a noble profession, especially in this era. Many people look down on businessmen, believing they gamble with their businesses. Although Si Chen didn’t oppose her doing business, it doesn’t mean Si Chen is willing to help her.
To be honest, if Si Chen refused to help, she really didn’t know who else she could turn to. She didn’t have any backup plan on hand now.
One could say that Tong Yao has put all her eggs in Si Chen’s basket. The Si Chen in front of her is like her god, the one illuminating her future. Whether she could become a wealthy woman, outperform He Fang, or manage to sell cold drinks, all depends on Si Chen.
At this moment, Tong Yao’s gaze is like a devout believer’s, burning with fervor.
