Chapter 115
During the day, she would run around to get the stone factory ready.
“What’s the component of this active?” Song Yan asked harmlessly as she pointed at the bottle Rong Yue had given them last week.
“It’s the most important ingredient for this reciepe, I won’t be sharing it as that’s the only way that we don’t have any leak in the future,” Rong Yue said.
Although she trusted them, if they were threatened or tricked later in the future, harm would be done already even if she saved them.
Song Yan also nodded in understanding, after all, the bottle of plants concentrate was really too good.
Previously, Rong Yue had told her to add only five drops into the base quantity they made.
After comparing it on people that had willing signed up, the one with the concentrate was more effective and had given an effectiveness gap of more than a week!
With something like this, she understood that it had to be kept tightly away from people and so she nodded her in understanding.
.....
Since the two were good at catching up and had done all she needed them do, she didn’t to stay long there anymore.
“The main store is already being designed, when the time comes, Song Yang can move over there to handle matters and be in charge of the upper floor, you can keep monitoring things here and be in charge of the distribution of the actives,” Rong Yue decided to tell them the future plans in advance.
Rong Yue saw the hesitant look on their faces and was confused.
“Is anything the matter?” She asked carefully, looking between the brother and sister.
Song Jian eventually spoke up, “Hmmm, nothing much but Yan’er is thinking of renrolling back into high school, she should originally have just one year left before she dropped out, but since she has skipped close to two years now, I don’t know if they would still allow her,”
Rong Yue originally thought that the two had no age gap and that Song Yan was just in another high school, now that she looked at it, she realized that, she did seem a little more mature than Song Jian.
“Okay, let her do that, she can just drop by in the evening, from the plan I designed, neither of you have to spend all your time here, there’s a manager and official for all those roles, but they are still outsiders, at the beginning, it’s always better to have the real owners to make those people know how to act,” she explained.
“But you can just let your mother take on the role, to your sister can do what she wants when she’s free, or any place that needs attention,”
Since everyone was still going to report to her, Rong Yue felt there was no big deal about who was on ground.
She then decided to keep her mother in the main store with their mother, as for the backend, she was already planning to use three levels of security, it would be hard for them to breach it, after all, things like the iris technology and fingerprints security were not yet widely spread by this time.
The two thanked her happily before allowing her to leave.
“I told you there was no problem telling her, she’s not planning to enslave you to this, Yan’er,” Song Jian told his sister as soon as Rong Yue left.
“I was just worried, after all, who had helped us like this in the past few years, it’s hard to immediately believe that everything is all good,”
It was easy to understand where Song Yan coming from, after all, nothing like free lunches existed.
But for Rong Yue, the major priority was getting her mom something to do to keep her brain cells excited while she was in school.
“When would you be opening the store, the core designs are done,” Lu San asked,
“The designer I hired for the traditional look is only going to arrive tomorrow, I would meet with her before I go to the capital,” Rong Yue replied and then closed her eyes and leaned back to rest.
Since it was ancient Chinese recipes they were following, she had decided that she was going to make people feel like they were going back in time when they entered the store.
To not make it too boring and archaic, she had opted for the palace and luxurious theme of the olden days. Unfortunately, the only designer she thought capable of bringing her imagination to life was only going to arrive from Xi’an tomorrow.
“Isn’t that going to be stressful?” Lu San asked worriedly but after not getting any reply, he looked in the rearview mirror and realized that she was asleep already, he sighed softly as he realized how hard she had been working recently.
Unwilling to disturb her, he turned off the music and slowed down the car so she could rest properly, after all, more than anyone, he was aware of how much work she had been doing in the past few days.
When they eventually got back home, Lu San parked the car and was surprised when Rong Yue opened her eyes immediately, also, her eyes was so alert that it made him feel suspicious.
Was her mind that sensitive and alert?
“Young Miss, Would we be going to the night market today?” Lu San ran after and asked.
“No, we won’t be going anymore, in the last two weeks we have bought close to a thousand stones, almost all these ones with stones, when they have new stock, I’ll visit them again, also, we can check other cities when I have time,” she told him and walked inside.
For her, that was the starting quantity for the business, but instead of visiting stone gambling stores, the best thing was to get mines and find places that had the real stones that people always needed.
But she couldn’t tell Lu San her plans so it was already enough to tell him anything along the line.
“You are back early today,” Rong Xia said as she pulled her daughter into her warm embrace.
“Hmmm, I would be up early, I want to get some early rest,” she told her sincerely as she sat on the couch.
“Yichen said you have you have some tough competition tomorrow? Didn’t you say it was something simple?” Rong Xia asked with a little bit of scolding in her tone and Rong Yue chuckled.
“Ah! Are you now believing him over me? Who is to take the exam?” She asked with a glare that made her mom feel like she had truly offended her.
“Yue’er,”
“It’s a simple exam, don’t worry, I’ll bring the trophy home for you,” unwilling to continue the conversation she went directly to her room.
It was only after she got back inside that she calmed down, she had already gotten used to her mother’s not minding about anything all these while, now that she had someone to call for second opinion, it had made her feel a little vexed just now.
“Damn you! Qin Yichen,” she cursed out angrily as she thought of that devilishly handsome man that had now somehow warmed his way into her mother’s mind.
Thinking of her mother’s worry, she that had not read anything eventually ditched her plan to code some more for the game and decided to study a little. Even though she was confident, with her mother’s worry, she decided to do some last minute revision and see if she should cover some last minute things.
Unlike others, her mind was almost photographic which meant that looking at it until it was imprinted in her mind was enough to have her understand and remember everything that was in there.
She carefully studied for close to an hour until the system’s voice rang out in the quiet night.
“Master, the nightcoder’s location has been found! He’s in the capital city!” One could see from the system’s excitement that this was something that had taken it a while, although a while to other people definitely didn’t mean a while to the system, but it had still taken some effort.
Rong Yue’s hands that were about to turn a page stilled for some seconds as she heard the announcement, eventually, she flipped the page. “Remind me about it when we get to the capital on the third day, I’ll handle it then,” she said and then went back to study, since she had decided to study, then she was going to study!
On the other hand, Rong Xia was worried silly about Rong Yue and didn’t know if she had really offended her by asking Qin Yichen about the exam, eventually, she couldn’t hold it anymore and went to knock on Rong Yue’s door, after knocking once, she tried the knob and saw that it was open.
However, all of the worry that she had been bothering her vanished as soon as she entered and saw that she was studying diligently.
She sighed in relief and quickly changed what she had planned to say before.
“Do you want some tea or warm milk? You didn’t eat after coming in?” She asked softly.
“I’ll come out after studying this material and find something to snack on, since I joined, then you don’t have to worry, I’ll bring the trophy home for you,” she promised and gave her mom a cute and genuine smile.
Rong Xia nodded in understanding and left her to study.
