Su Qing immediately swallowed her saliva. She felt that the next step was the main point.
Gu Yundongâs expression became more serious. âI wonât hide it from you. This shop doesnât belong to me alone. I opened it with two other people. One of them is Madam Daiâs wife, and the other is the eldest daughter of the Nie family.â
Mother Su was speechless.
Su Qing: â!!!â
Madam Dai? Eldest Miss Nie?
They felt that there was something wrong with their ears. Although they had long heard from Su Changshun that Madam Dai and Miss Nie had visited to celebrate the opening of Guâs, they had never thought that these two people would actually cooperate with Boss Gu to open a shop.
How capable was this Boss Gu?
âYou didnât hear wrongly. Itâs indeed them,â Gu Yundong said. âSo, youâre not the only one working in the shop. There are also people hired by Madam Dai and Miss Nie. And youâre the only one I have.â
Su Qingâs expression instantly turned solemn, as if she felt a huge responsibility.
Gu Yundong smiled when she saw this. âThereâs no need to be so nervous. Iâm telling you this to make you fully aware of the situation. Mr. Dai and Miss Nie are easy to get along with. They wonât make things difficult for you, but I donât know the people under them. I donât know their attitudes either. You have to adjust your relationship with them.â
âBut I hope you understand that even if theyâre Madam Dai and Miss Nieâs people, you are not inferior to them. Thereâs no need to curry favor and bow down to them, but you have to grasp a balance. If they bully you, you donât have to hold it in. You have to counterattack when itâs time, understand? I donât want my people to be cowards.â
Su Qing thought about it and could roughly understand what Boss Gu meant.
Therefore, after a while, she nodded and said, âI understand. I represent you. If Iâm too strong-willed, Iâll make things difficult for you, but if Iâm too cowardly, Iâll make others look down on you. Miss, donât worry. I wonât be bullied, but I wonât be inflexible either.â
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. This girl was a perceptive person.
Actually, in the beginning, she wanted to look for Lan Huaâer because she was smart. Perhaps she was still a little girl who lived in the countryside and did not have enough knowledge, but as long as she was nurtured well, she would have no problem at all.
But now that she saw Su Qing like this, she felt that perhaps she was more suitable.
âSince you understand your situation, are you still willing to be this assistant?â
Su Qing nodded vigorously. âIâm willing. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I wonât let you down.â
Gu Yundong stood up. âAlright, since youâre willing, you can come over tomorrow. Stay by my side for a few days. Iâll teach you some communication skills.â
Gu Yundong felt that she had to let Su Qing understand her personality and her position so that she could get along better with Madam Dai and the rest.
Su Qing was very happy and nodded repeatedly. âYes.â
Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Yundong gave her a few more instructions before turning to leave.
Su Qing sent them all the way to the door and watched them disappear into the alley. Then, she turned around in a daze and planned to close the courtyard door.
However, the neighbors who had been waiting outside immediately rushed forward and asked, âHey, Su Qing, who is that girl? What is she doing at your house?â
Before Su Qing could answer, Mother Su had already arrived. Looking at these neighbors who were smiling ingratiatingly, she felt a little proud.
