Chapter 504 - 154: Poaching Talent
Wu Qingqing and Hu Ping, the two best at flattering, are also professionals at complimenting.
"Auntie, this is a stroke of genius."
"Auntie, this habit of yours is great. Keep it up. In the future, we should learn from you, using a pen to record life."
One after another, they praised Xing Mi to the point of embarrassment, making her cradle her face, "You’re all such good kids."
Anyone who praises her is a good kid.
It was the first time so many people straightforwardly praised her good habits and her attention to the details of life, rather than her looks.
She used to think she was beautiful too, but after hearing too many compliments, she lost her judgment.
Apart from this appearance, she gradually felt she had nothing else of value.
Receiving so many heartfelt compliments, Xing Mi smiled radiantly, just like a rose, captivating both men and women.
Oh, Xing Miao is beautiful enough, but Xing Mi looks even better.
Wu Qingqing couldn’t resist hugging the great beauty, just as she imagined, fragrant and soft.
Everyone wanted to take a longer look at this great beauty, reluctant to let her leave.
But Xing Miao scoffed; they were all bewitched by her mother’s charm.
This mother could only be around for a few days.
It’s not that Xing Miao wasn’t filial; truly, Xing Mi was like a stubborn monkey with a balm, even with someone to rely on, she had no sense of security.
This might relate to her nearly being caught and sold off to traffickers as a child, but this condition is a psychological illness, hard to cure, and it hasn’t been resolved to this day.
Someone must be with her often.
At the Min Family, there are many servants, stepchildren too; Xing Mi assumes the role of a stepmother to avoid irritation.
Xing Miao knows she can’t be a constant companion for Xing Mi, can’t be her temporary safe haven.
Let Xing Mi’s beauty remain in the hearts of the friends.
Afraid that during Xing Miao’s absence Xing Mi might meet a jerk, Xing Miao asked her opinion, if she’d be willing to live on Su’s Planet for a while.
Ji’s mother is there, so is Daddy Su, plus there’s a travel restriction recently.
The people aren’t that complex.
Su Xiaocai rubbed his nose: Daddy Su is already bothered by her, now there’s another one to send there.
But Xing Mi’s personality really isn’t suited for life on Capital Star.
Yu Haoming and Zu Yang are just employees, unable to look after her.
Admiral Bai absolutely wouldn’t help manage a woman.
Xing Miao is likely to live a military life in the future, making it even harder to bring her along.
Xing Mi was worried, "Will it be inconvenient for others? I’m afraid I won’t adapt."
"You can adapt anywhere, mom." Xing Miao didn’t believe Xing Mi’s words; Xing Mi may be a rose, but she’s a wild rose, as long as there’s enough nourishment and the environment’s right, she can bloom anywhere.
Xing Miao was just too direct, probably triggered by Xing Mi, her tone was very firm, unlike her usual gentle tone with others.
Su Xiaocai gently soothed Xing Miao, sitting on the seat, he caught Xing Mi’s hand, "Aunt Xing, Su’s Planet has many handmade fabrics, all very pretty. Could you use some to design a few outfits for me? When I wear them out, people will definitely be envious."
Xing Mi blinked, "Do you really like the clothes I make?"
"Of course. Not only do I like them, we all do. When you get to my hometown, pick a unique fabric, could you make us a set of team uniforms? One that’s super cool, something when we wear out, people will be green with envy. Design a few more styles, I’ll pick several sets to switch out."
Feeling needed, Xing Mi immediately felt less anxious, "Okay, I’ll make it for you."
"No, I’m paying for them. You have to charge me." Su Xiaocai decisively transferred a million to Xing Mi.
"This is your pay for the clothes. Aunt Xing, don’t think I’m cheap."
A million, is it little?
In the circle of the wealthy, it indeed wouldn’t buy many clothes.
But for Xing Mi, it was just the right amount.
After all, her designs mostly sell for tens of thousands.
To earn a million from selling clothes, honestly, it was an unrefusable price.
Xing Miao watched Su Xiaocai easily handle her mother, breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid Xing Mi would find various excuses to stay on Capital Star.
Perfectly resolving Xing Mi’s place, Xing Miao relaxed.
She brought Xing Mi to stay at a hotel, advising her about various matters, such as when to come back to officially sign the divorce papers.
The police call and ask questions, want to check her bank statements, examine her accounts, whom she should contact.
"For any legal and divorce matters, consult Lawyer Fei, make sure to ask her how to proceed, don’t act on your own. If you lack common life knowledge, seek Uncle Su. If you encounter any unfair situations, Aunt Ji will help you. I’ve prepared all your luggage, take this Space Button, which is a gift from Brother Ji’s company; the space isn’t very large, but it can hold your belongings. When you’re elsewhere, don’t easily trust others..."
