Chapter 292 - 291: Opportunity
When Yiyi and her mother returned home, it was already evening.
"Mom, you go and rest in your room. You’ve been traveling for so many days, you must be tired."
Ding Yuejun was genuinely a bit tired and nodded directly, saying, "Okay, you go rest too. Fortunately, tomorrow is Sunday, you can have a day off. I’ll make you something delicious then."
"Alright."
Yiyi smiled and nodded.
The next day, although Yiyi was resting, she didn’t idle around. After breakfast, she went straight to the pharmaceutical factory in the East Suburb.
"Young Boss."
Seeing Yiyi, Mo Ping quickly waved at her and then said with a face full of joy, "You finally came. If you hadn’t, I would have gone to your house to find you."
Seeing Mo Ping so happy, Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, "What’s up? Has the factory been doing well lately?"
"There must be progress. Our Wuming Pills are so effective, they will definitely become famous."
Seeing Mo Ping’s excited expression, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, "You’ve really worked hard during this time, even during New Year you didn’t go back, always busy here."
"It’s not hard, Young Boss. The factory’s success today is entirely due to these medicine pills. If the pills had no efficacy, no amount of work would help, so I dare not take credit. Besides, being able to see the factory gradually develop fills my heart with joy."
Seeing Mo Ping’s sense of pride, Yiyi knew he had completely taken the factory as his own home, so she smiled and said, "Well, continue to work hard in the coming period. But don’t worry, once the factory is developed, you, the director, will carry prestige wherever you go."
Mo Ping was delighted to hear this and said, "Don’t talk about the future; even now, when I go out, people call me Director Mo."
Seeing Mo Ping so happy, Yiyi felt very gratified.
"I’ll research two more types of medicine pills in a few days. Then our product range will be richer."
"Young Boss, thank you so much for your hard work."
Yiyi quickly waved her hand and said, "You’re not tired, how could I be tired?"
After saying this, Yiyi continued to look around, and after a tour of the pharmaceutical factory, she returned home.
On the other side, Ding Yuejun had already prepared a sumptuous lunch. Seeing Yiyi come back, she quickly said, "You child, even on a day off you don’t rest, come and eat quickly."
"Mom, you’re the best, preparing so much that I love to eat."
Looking at the table full of dishes, Yiyi quickly went to her mother’s side and said cutely.
Seeing her daughter’s adorable demeanor, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but rub her hair, saying, "Alright, alright, stop buttering me up, sit down and eat."
After the mother and daughter finished eating, Ding Yuejun let her daughter rest at home while she went to the costume shop.
Having taken the job of designing costumes for a period drama, she needed to do more research and try her best to excel, and she stayed busy all afternoon.
When she returned home in the evening, her daughter had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her.
Seeing this, Ding Yuejun quickly said, "Yiyi, why did you do all this? I would have done it when I came back."
"Mom, since you’re so busy, I naturally need to help share some of your burdens." Yiyi said and quickly ushered her mother to sit down.
After dinner, Yiyi took out two small bottles and handed them to her mother, saying, "Mom, these are medicine solutions I’ve recently developed. If you encounter danger, you can spray them at others."
Since her mother encountered danger, she had continually researched and recalled medicines that could quickly subdue adversaries. However, such quick-effect medicines were scarce, and she had experimented for quite some time before developing them.
After her mother took the two bottles, she handed another small porcelain bottle to her mother, saying, "Mom, this is the antidote. If you use the medicine solution, you can take the antidote first."
"Okay, I’ll carry them with me, don’t worry."
Previously, she had never thought of carrying any poison, but after encountering so many dangers, she became mindful, striving not to get into trouble and worry Yiyi.
Seeing her mother nod, Yiyi still felt uneasy and reminded her, "Mom, make sure you carry them with you."
"Alright, alright, I know."
The next day, after Yiyi went to school, Ding Yuejun went to the costume shop.
And Qin Aimin came over again.
"Boss Ding, here are the terms of our agreement, please take a look. If there’s no issue, we can sign it."
Ding Yuejun carefully reviewed the agreement and finally nodded, saying, "Okay, then let’s agree on this."
Seeing Ding Yuejun sign her name, Qin Aimin breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Boss Ding, can you come to our set tomorrow, so we can discuss the details further."
Ding Yuejun did not refuse and agreed by nodding.
The next day, Ding Yuejun went to the set in the suburbs and had a detailed discussion with Qin Aimin’s crew, finally taking back what they discussed.
"Aunt Ding..."
Ding Yuejun hadn’t walked far when she heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw it was her daughter’s classmate, "Hello, Xueqing."
An Xueqing didn’t expect to run into Ding Yuejun here, but since they did, she naturally greeted enthusiastically, "Aunt Ding, why are you here?"
"I came to discuss some matters. And you? How come you’re here? Isn’t there school today?"
An Xueqing replied quickly, "I’ve taken a role recently, so I’m on leave to shoot for a few days."
"I see. By the way, is Yudan here with you filming?" She remembered these two used to shoot together.
Upon hearing this, An Xueqing smiled slightly, "Yudan didn’t come along. She plans to focus on her studies well this semester, so she might not be filming."
"Oh... that’s good too. If you finish filming, try to return to school early."
An Xueqing quickly nodded and said, "Don’t worry, Aunt Ding, I know."
But thinking of Ding Yuejun making costumes for the crew before, she couldn’t help but ask, "Aunt Ding, are you preparing costumes for the crew again?"
"Yes, I took on the job for a period drama this time. But you probably know them - it’s Mr. Qin from the Republic-era drama you guys acted in before."
Upon hearing this, An Xueqing quickly nodded and said, "Oh, it’s Mr. Qin. Didn’t expect their crew to be here too. I’ll visit him next time I have the chance."
"You can do that."
After exchanging a few more words, Ding Yuejun went back.
An Xueqing watched Ding Yuejun’s departing figure, her eyes flashing briefly before heading straight forward.
Qin Aimin was somewhat surprised to see An Xueqing, "Is that you? Why are you here?"
"Hello, Mr. Qin. I’m filming a small role in a neighboring crew. I just ran into Aunt Ding, and she mentioned that you are here as well, so I came over to take a look."
Qin Aimin, knowing An Xueqing knew Ding Yuejun, couldn’t help but ask, "Are you planning to focus fully on acting?"
"Yes, I love acting."
Qin Aimin thought and said, "If you have time, you might come to our crew for a role audition."
