Chapter 66: With a Benevolent Attitude
"You mean I have no other choice but you now?" Beisitian’s lips curled slightly, but there was no warmth.
Zhang Baoxia dropped her business and ran to this little shabby town just to recruit this embroidery woman skilled in Double-sided Embroidery.
Originally, she had various tactics and methods in mind, but after seeing Beisitian, she somewhat changed her mind.
The reason was simple, people tended to judge others by appearances. Beisitian was dressed in shabby clothes, clearly someone from the countryside, looking plain and seemed neither rich nor well-connected. Zhang Baoxia was also in a hurry to leave, so keeping a barely polite tone was already difficult.
Hearing a tone that didn’t belong to a rural person, Zhang Baoxia frowned and said, "Does Miss Bei still need to consider other options? Where else could you find better conditions than what I’m offering? You’ve seen Zhang Baoli’s place. Even if you become her formal embroidery woman, earning one hundred and fifty a month is impossible! Not to mention the commission!"
"The terms you’re offering are indeed not bad," Beisitian looked at Zhang Baoxia’s proud demeanor and said, "But good terms don’t mean I must choose you."
Zhang Baoxia’s actions of poaching her own people were really unethical. Not to mention, Beisitian had no intention of becoming an embroidery woman. Even if she had planned to be an embroidery woman for life, she would need to consider carefully.
In fact, she and Zhang Baoli didn’t have much of a deep friendship; it was merely a relationship of mutual interest. However, with Zhang Baoli, you could be in a friendship mode, where at least both parties were on equal footing. But with Zhang Baoxia, from Beisitian’s brief interaction, she would have to be her subordinate, subject to her control and constraints.
In her previous life, when she and her master traveled around, as long as they showed the Mystical Doctor Seal, officials big and small were not only polite but also offered their utmost convenience. Now, should she be constrained by the owner of an embroidery workshop?
Whether it was her master’s aloof nature or her own character, neither would flaunt the Mystical Doctor Seal everywhere they went. They more enjoyed the freedom of self-identifying as wandering doctors, unfettered and free.
