Chapter 71: Arrangement 71
Bai Zhixi had lost her appetite. She put down her bowl and said, "The day after tomorrow you’ll be filling out your university preferences, but could you help mom make a trip to Wanzhou tomorrow? Boss Hu from Wanzhou wants to take over our pickle business, and after much consideration, I’ve decided to transfer the business. You and Xiao Bai will go to Wanzhou tomorrow to talk things over with Boss Hu, and if things can be settled, then let them be settled."
Bai Zhixi said all this in one breath. Boss Hu is that pickle boss from Wanzhou.
Hearing her mother’s words, Wan Chu’er was somewhat surprised. Although Bai Zhixi had mentioned selling the pickle business before, Wan Chu’er did not expect that she, together with Xiao Bai, would be the ones to go.
"Mom, aren’t you coming with me? I don’t know much about our business, what would be the right price to ask for?" Wan Chu’er spoke more and more uneasily, completely overlooking the presence of Xiao Bai.
Bai Zhixi forced a smile and said, "There are some matters here that I need to deal with and cannot leave. I’ve nearly finalized everything with Boss Hu. You’re about to be a university student; this is a good opportunity to gain some experience."
After saying this, she handed a notebook to her, "This notebook contains the general details about the pickle business. With Xiao Bai with you, there shouldn’t be any problems."
Wan Chu’er was about to say something more when Bai Zhixi sternly said, "I’ve raised you for eighteen years, is it so hard to do something I ask of you?" After speaking, she stood up, returned to her room, and slammed the door shut from inside.
What’s going on?
Wan Chu’er was dumbfounded, unable to understand what was happening. Why did Bai Zhixi suddenly get angry again?
She hastily ran to Bai Zhixi’s room door, and when she pushed it, it wouldn’t budge—it was locked from inside.
