Chapter 205 - 200: Coming Back
At that time, real estate prices in the city were very cheap, and if the economy allowed, Fang Pingying planned to buy several more units. In a few more years, the prices wouldn’t just double, but could increase manifold. It would be foolish not to earn this money.
Fang Pingying planned to observe for a while; if the business remained stable, she would go look at houses by the end of the month. She would first buy one nearby that she could live in herself. That way, when Luo Zhiyong came over on weekends, he could stay in his own place, and it would be convenient for her to have a house to stay as she traveled between two places.
Sitting on her own bed warming her feet, Fang Xiu saw Fang Pingying’s face filled with smiles as she did her accounting and asked curiously, "Big sister, how exactly do you calculate the money earned in the store? You said it’s a partnership with Uncle Zeng, why doesn’t Uncle Zeng handle anything, not even the accounting books?"
"Just focus on your own work, why ask so many questions?" Fang Pingying didn’t like how Fang Xiu always seemed keen to find out how much money she could make.
Actually, Fang Xiu worked quite well, being meticulous. If she promised to do something, she could do it well, plus having read some books, she could clearly calculate the accounts in the store, better than Luo Honglan in this regard.
However, the worst thing was, she was too self-interested, always trying to find out exactly how much money Fang Pingying could make in a month.
It felt like, if she knew Fang Pingying made a lot, she could benefit from it.
Fang Pingying glanced at her coldly, "Besides, no matter who opens the store, the salary will always be paid to you. Asking too many questions is pointless. Look at Honglan, she never asks about these things and just focuses on her work."
Fang Xiu always thought Luo Honglan was dull and somewhat looked down on her. She glanced at Luo Honglan and disdainfully curled her lips, "With Honglan’s foolish behavior, it’s good she works in your store. If she worked elsewhere, even if they didn’t pay her salary, just provided her food, she would agree."
"That’s not a bad thing, at least she can support herself." Now that Luo Honglan had seen more of the world outside, she was more confident. She looked at Fang Xiu and whispered back, "Still better than you and the second brother who did nothing, and used to depend on our elder brother sending money home to survive."
