When Zhao Shucheng heard Vivian say that, although he knew she meant well, he still felt something was off.

At first glance, this statement seems reasonable, but upon closer examination, it makes Vivian appear to be the mistress of the house.

“Vivian, no need. Miss Wang doesn’t want her parents to know what happened to her, so she only comes here during the day to write a self-criticism and wait for her workplace’s decision. She still needs to go home at night, otherwise, if her family finds out, there will definitely be trouble.”

"Oh, okay then. By the way, aren't you going to check out your supermarket now?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I don't need to supervise it personally. After all, I have done my best in training the employees, and even the management team was carefully selected. They can handle most of the work. If they really encounter problems that they can't solve, they will call me."

"Speaking of which, Vivian, you've seen pretty much all the classics in Shanghai. Have you ever thought about visiting other cities? Like Suzhou and Hangzhou, known as 'paradise on earth,' or perhaps your ancestral home in Guangdong?"

Vivian hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Isn't it inconvenient for me to travel?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "It's okay, I'll go with you then. I don't have much work to do right now. But I might get busy in a while, and then I won't be able to accompany you."

"Never mind, let's talk about it when we have time!"

As she spoke, Vivian Chow glanced in the direction of the study. She didn't believe that Zhao Shucheng could really abandon Wang Mingzhu and go on a trip with her now, so she decided to wait until Wang Mingzhu's matter was resolved before making any decisions.

Of course, she has some affection for Zhao Shucheng now, but she mainly considers him a good friend, or even a confidant.

Abao, however, was troubled by the purchase order. Although Linghong had found the purchase order, she dared not give it to Abao, much less let Lingzi know. But Teacher Ge revealed that the purchase order was still in Linghong's hands, and even told Tao Tao the purchase price of the pearl earrings.

Tao Tao was furious when she heard this. She went straight home and took the gold and silver jewelry she bought from Ling Hong, demanding a refund for the price difference. Of course, Ling Hong refused.

Just then, Lingzi also came to the store to settle accounts with Linghong, scolding her for being ungrateful and selling the property to her at ten times the price. Teacher Ge also took the opportunity to mention that Linghong still hadn't paid him rent.

A group of people came to confront her, and Linghong naturally couldn't back down. She immediately revealed that Teacher Ge had ulterior motives towards Lingzi and that the house he rented to her was more expensive than the one in Tokyo.

Tao Tao also chimed in, saying that Teacher Ge was being dishonest, but unexpectedly, this angered Teacher Ge, who then revealed that Tao Tao had also raised the price to sell seafood to Night Tokyo.

Lingzi never expected that they would take the fall for her when she treated them as friends, so she naturally cursed Tao Tao.

Tao Tao and Ling Hong joined forces and directly targeted Teacher Ge. Teacher Ge naturally refused to admit it, instead mocking Lingzi for being too old and saying that A Bao wouldn't even look at her.

Lingzi was immediately struck where it hurt, and tears welled up in her eyes as she questioned Teacher Ge, "Did you say that?"

Teacher Ge said, "I said the first half of the sentence, and Tao Tao said the second half."

Tao Tao naturally couldn't admit it, and she couldn't convince Lingzi that she would never say such a thing.

After a heated argument, the group finally found the person in charge, but Lingzi felt that they were not her friends at all. So she kicked Linghong and Taotao out and forbade Teacher Ge from coming to Night Tokyo for meals again.

Ling Hong never expected that she had really offended Teacher Ge. Enraged, she grabbed a knife and chased after Teacher Ge, who fainted on the spot due to the stress. Tao Tao had no choice but to rush him to the hospital.

Ah Bao never expected that Wang Mingzhu would be investigated because of a purchase order, and that Night Tokyo would also encounter various problems, so he had no choice but to hurry to Night Tokyo to find Lingzi.

Lingzi gave Abao a forged purchase order, which Abao immediately recognized, telling Lingzi to stop messing around. Lingzi had no choice but to give Abao the purchase order she had stolen. Abao looked at the unrecognizable purchase order and was speechless with anger.

Although Wang Mingzhu submitted a letter of self-criticism, the final result was that she was transferred from No. 27 Bund to work for a company under the China Foreign Trade Corporation.

Wang Mingzhu was naturally unwilling to give up. She wanted to see A Bao and find out his true feelings towards her. If A Bao liked her, she was willing to leave No. 27 for him.

Unfortunately, she waited outside the rice cake shop until midnight, but Ah Bao never showed up.

Wang Mingzhu was still somewhat unwilling to give up and wanted to call A Bao, but just as she was about to dial, she put the phone down again. She already knew what A Bao was thinking; she and he were ultimately destined to be apart.

In May, Wang Mingzhu started working at a warehouse under the foreign trade company.

Although Abao had called ahead to ask Master Fan to take care of her, Master Fan didn't listen at all and even assigned Wang Mingzhu a dirty and tiring job: cleaning a warehouse that hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

Although Wang Mingzhu was angry, she was unwilling to admit defeat or be looked down upon, so after changing into her work clothes, she gritted her teeth and got to work.

Jin Hua couldn't possibly stop the work she had arranged just because she felt sorry for Wang Mingzhu, so she handed over A Bao's business to Mei Ping.

Mei Ping knew how important A Bao's business was to a foreign trade employee, so she brought pastries to A Bao to discuss business.

Ah Bao, however, was completely unwilling to acknowledge Mei Ping, so he simply didn't show up. Instead, it was Uncle who received Mei Ping.

However, the uncle did not accept Mei Ping's snacks. Instead, he warned her not to have any financial dealings with clients, lest she also be invited for a talk by the Organization Department.

Mei Ping naturally knew the importance of her uncle, so she asked him for advice on doing business and sought his guidance.

Although Uncle also looked down on the methods Mei Ping used, as someone who had been through it all, he had seen and experienced many things, so he naturally couldn't be as emotional as A Bao.

"Don't be so modest. You're going to be a section chief soon. You need to gradually develop the demeanor of a section chief, otherwise how will you gain people's respect?"

Mei Ping was secretly pleased, but still said that she couldn't be the section chief.

The old man said, "Since the Shanghai brand is out of business and Miss Wang isn't here, who else would the section chief give it to if not you? Have some tea!"

After being enlightened by her uncle, Mei Ping made up her mind to change herself, to dress more stylishly, and to show her presence to intimidate others.

After Mei Ping left, A Bao told Uncle why he had been so kind to Mei Ping and even hoped that someone else would take over his duties.

The old man replied, "Doing business is about the matter at hand, not the person. You can't just do business with whomever you want."

"It's impossible to work with whomever I want, but at least I absolutely won't choose not to work with whomever I want!"

When Uncle heard Ah Bao's impulsive words, he didn't say anything for a moment and looked at Ah Bao.

When Zhao Shucheng learned the news, Wang Mingzhu had already gone to the warehouse. Knowing she might be adjusting to a new environment, Zhao Shucheng drove there to see if there was anything he could do to help. Tao Tao, having received a request from A Bao, also came to the warehouse to visit Wang Mingzhu, even bringing her favorite wontons.

Wang Mingzhu recognized it immediately; the lunchbox actually belonged to A Bao, but A Bao himself was nowhere to be seen.

"Whose lunchbox is this? Do you think I can't recognize it?"

"You can tell that?"

"It came out as soon as it was blown up."

Just then, Master Fan arrived at the warehouse with his men, pointed at Tao Tao, and asked, "Who are you?"

Wang Mingzhu said, "It has nothing to do with me!"

"Who let you in?"

Tao Tao pointed to herself and asked, "Talk to me?"

"If I don't tell you, who else can I tell?"

Seeing that Miss Wang was ignoring her, Tao Tao could only quickly go up to Master Fan and say, "Master Fan, right? I'm Miss Wang's friend."

Master Fan asked, "Who is Fangmei? And who is Boss Bao?"

Master Fan didn't want Tao Tao here at all, so he forcibly led his men to drive Tao Tao away.

Zhao Shucheng saw Tao Tao being driven away from the car outside, but he felt that Master Fan's cruelty towards Tao Tao was not only because she was in the warehouse, but more importantly, it was to vent Wang Mingzhu's anger.

However, Master Fan didn't give Wang Mingzhu a friendly look. He even yelled at her, "Wait a minute, you've called so many people here, one minute it's 'Weekend,' the next it's 'Boss Bao,' why don't you call your lover here? You're so capable, young lady, yet you live like a pitiful Xianglin's wife. I know more about men than you do. If you're so capable, why don't you make him come by himself?"

Wang Mingzhu said, "Let me tell you, you can criticize Mr. Bao, but you can't criticize Mr. Li. Do you even know who Mr. Li is?"

"who is it?"

"That's my dad! If you keep insulting him, I'll hit you!"

Master Fan had already guessed it, and said, "Hit me? Are you out of your mind? Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, you'd better clean this place up. I'll come and check! What are you looking at? Get to work!"

Wang Mingzhu never expected that Tao Tao's arrival would not only fail to bring any benefits, but would also assign her the most tiring work, which she could only endure and do silently.

Seeing that Wang Mingzhu wasn't crying but was working diligently, Zhao Shucheng didn't go looking for her. Instead, he went to find Master Fan, the person in charge of the warehouse, to discuss the next phase of the supermarket's procurement of goods from the warehouse.

Zhao Shucheng also has a partnership with Master Fan and his team, since they have their own cold storage facilities and source their seafood and river fish products from there.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng's own warehousing center is also under construction. In the future, it will not only be a logistics distribution center, but also a cold storage facility exclusively for supermarket channels, so that goods can be shipped directly from his own warehouse.

Master Fan, however, gave Zhao Shucheng a curious look and asked, "You're not here to see Xiao Wang too, are you?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course not, but Miss Wang and I are indeed friends. In fact, many of my clients were introduced by Miss Wang. However, I am here today mainly to discuss purchasing goods. As for Miss Wang, I will naturally contact her after she gets off work."

Master Fan nodded and said, "That's more like it. They keep calling me to ask me to take care of her, as if she's some important person. She's here to train, not to enjoy herself."

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "Master Fan is absolutely right. Xiao Wang has never experienced grassroots training, so she doesn't know the value of money and was easily tricked. If you ask me, it's because she was too well protected before. She had parents at home, teachers at school, and mentors at work. She doesn't understand the hardships of life or the wickedness of people."

As Zhao Shucheng spoke, he went with Master Fan to the warehouse to inspect the goods. He said, "Master Fan, Xiao Wang is here to train. You must not go easy on her. Let her get down to earth, understand the hardships of working people, and also let her know the cruelty of society. Of course, she should also be taken care of, after all, she is a girl."

Master Fan said with a smile, "It seems you're here to plead for Xiao Wang too. But I won't treat her specially. She'll be treated like any other employee. If you can handle it, work; if you can't, get out of here."

“That’s good, Master Fan. Don’t tell Xiao Wang that I’m here. She must feel very embarrassed right now and doesn’t want people she knows to see her like that. I’ll come to see her again after she’s calmed down and accepted the job.”

Seeing Zhao Shucheng leave like that, Master Fan couldn't help but sigh, feeling that from now on, their warehouse would become quite lively.

The next day.

When Master Fan arrived at the warehouse, he heard his subordinates say that Wang Mingzhu had already tidied up the warehouse that had been assigned to her the day before.

"Impossible. She could do it all by herself. I'd take my head off and let her kick it around like a ball."

But when the warehouse door was opened, the neat and orderly warehouse was a stark contrast to the chaotic environment of yesterday, as if it had been transformed into a completely different warehouse.

Wang Mingzhu asked directly, "Where's the ball? Where's the ball?"

"How many people did her husband call to clean up the warehouse?"

"He's all alone!"

"Alone?" Master Fan looked at the others with some disbelief, wanting to know if anyone was lying.

Seeing the aggressive Wang Mingzhu standing before him, he said, "Playing football, huh? Come with me!"

Master Fan was quite impressed with Wang Mingzhu. After all, she was able to sort and arrange the goods neatly and complete such a large workload all by herself, which meant she had her own unique skills.

So Master Fan brought Wang Mingzhu to the office, offered her ice cream to cool her down, and also asked her to save face for herself in front of others.

After chatting for a while, Wang Mingzhu learned that Master Fan was neighbors with his idol. However, the fact that Wang Mingzhu knew her idol before made Master Fan even more eager to please her. He even prepared to arrange for her to receive an important client from the warehouse, Boss Diao.

At first, Wang Mingzhu was curious about the identity of "Miao Zong," but when she saw Wei Hongqing appear dressed in a mink coat, she suddenly felt less curious.

It was through this that Wang Mingzhu learned from others that Wei Hongqing was actually the warehouse's biggest customer before, and that he had a good relationship with the people at the warehouse. (End of Chapter)
