Chapter 298 - Really! (真的是!)
298- Really! (真的是!)
But he never ever said anything about how she looked…
It wasn’t that she looked bad, but that she was too young and beautiful.
Bai Yu An hung up on his side very soon afterwards while the only thing Chu Rong was left with was awkwardness. Facing this kind of kid, she was momentarily at a loss for words. Moreover, most of those big bosses were purely businessmen with a single mindedness for profit, but this girl…
If she said something wrong, they wouldn’t start crying…right?
“Yo- Boss Jing…” Chu Rong started speaking, her vocabulary temporarily lacking.
Jing Yun Zhao gave her a glance from the corner of her eye, “These tea leaves were roasted by you?”
Chu Rong nodded.
“It’s not bad,” Jing Yun Zhao expressed her approval, but she continued, “But when business gets better, we can’t forever rely on you to do it yourself. You won’t have the time. We can hire professionals to help out…”
“I know, but I’m curious about something. There aren’t any tea plantations nearby, so where are we sourcing our tea leaves from?” Chu Rong asked.
The moment they started talking, the atmosphere turned calmer.
“You don’t have to care about that, it’s our company secret. Still, after our opening, you can go to the north to scout around. If you know a good tea leaf supplier, you can also contact them to import some quality or exotic tea leaves,” Jing Yun Zhao brushed her off.
Importing goods from outside could prevent unwanted suspicion.
While Chu Rong didn’t really understand, she very cooperatively agreed. However, she suddenly realised that even though the other person only spoke two or three sentences, her heart had already given its approval of her.
She carried an aura that allowed people to trust her easily and when she spoke, she was very dignified, completely unlike a teenager.
Still, as Chu Rong continued to monitor her, she also realised where she had heard the name ‘Jing Yun Zhao’ before…
A while ago, she had an elder who heard she was in Hua Ning County, so they called her to inquire, hoping she could go to Yi Zhong High School to see a girl called Jing Yun Zhao. Then they started rambling and nagging about how that child was so pitiful, how she was tortured and framed by people…
However, during that time, she had just agreed to Bai Yu An’s request and had just started tidying up this tea house. How could she have the time to do it? Thus, she rejected that elder’s request definitively and was even rebuked because of that.
Then, did that mean her boss was that kid that’s been spread voraciously around the internet now?
Didn’t they say she was an orphan and was in a difficult spot?
Chu Rong had a belly full of questions, but it was also not appropriate for her to ask Jing Yun Zhao about her own personal affairs, so she could only restrain her curiosity.
Afterwards, she introduced each and every single type of the tea leaves specialties and taste. In the process, she managed to find out that although she didn’t have much knowledge in that area, she was quite clear on some of their roasting methods, benefits, and taboos, leaving her beside herself in surprise.
Only when the day ended and Jing Yun Zhao had left, Chu Rong once again called Bai Yu An, but this time in excitement, to clarify things.
This boss is practically a genius! Everything I’ve said before, she only needed to hear it once to understand. It wouldn’t be too far fetched to say that she has a photographic memory!
Chu Rong spoke about the things she didn’t understand, but she only heard Bai Yu An roll his eyes and say, “The things spread across the internet are indeed true. Yun Zhao has no parents, and her adoptive parents also don’t treat her that well. She was even set up by others, but the ones that say that she’s not living well are all nonsense. You can search it up for yourself online, the donations are already a thing of the past.”
The moment Chu Rong heard him, she went to look it up without hesitation. Only then did she realise that posts related to Jing Yun Zhao were really countless!
She browsed through the comings and goings of the situation and felt as if her heart was run across by a train, feeling heartache, shocked, and even admiration for Jing Yun Zhao! Unperturbed in the face of danger, magnificent and inspiring; these words were all for describing someone like her, right?
