Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Mei Ruohan's Little Secret
Wu Yun slept soundly. When she got up in the morning and saw the bright sunshine outside, she was instantly in a good mood.

“Gong Min, you pushed me. Don't blame me!”

Wu Yun hummed and leisurely began to eat breakfast under the arrangement of her servant. If she hadn't been humiliated like that yesterday, she would never have done so!

However, as long as Gong Xiangjun, that old cat died, she could really take charge of the whole Gong Family and never be criticized again!

Gong Min was so young that she could easily control her with a casual trick.

Thinking of that, she was delighted and even couldn't help humming a song.

Just then a maid rushed in from outside in a flurry and said, “Madam, something bad happened! The old lady didn't die, and she was taken away by the doctor. The people you send was…”

Bam!

Wu Yun was shocked all of a sudden and she didn't realized that the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground.

“The man sent by the senior died?”

Wu Yun was so furious that she turned pale when she knew what happened in detail. How could the man fail? And he even didn't return and directly died in the school!

“Is there a great senior in the school?”

Wu Yun suddenly thought of something and her expression slightly changed. Then she could not help but shake her head and said, “No! If there was a great senior in the school, Wen Ruomin wouldn't let the doctor take Gong Xiangjun away. So…the great senior is the mysterious doctor.”

Ms. Li!

Wu Yun instantly turned pale. She was not stupid but very smart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have broken up the Gong Family and let it become her own puppet in just a few years.

“The senior once said that no one can detoxify his poison nowadays. How can there be an unfathomable 'Ms. Li'? She not only killed the man sent by the senior, but also detoxified the senior's poison…”

Wu Yun was all in a muddle for a while. Everything went smoothly in Yunjing, but how could these bad things all happened to her when she came to the small place of Qinghe Town.

“No way! If Gong Xiangjun, that old cat went back to the Gong Family, I would surely have a lot of trouble. Since I can't kill her on the halfway, I have to think of another way!”

Wu Yun squinted her eyes. She held a table corner firmly with her hand and there instantly were rows of scratches on the table. She believed that everything couldn't be perfect and there were flaws to be found. It was just because she didn't find it, or she didn't make good use of it.

“Now, go to the Tianya House to get a file on the current situation of the force distribution in Qinghe Town. No matter how much it costs, just get me the most detailed one!”

Wu Yun gave an order with a sigh of relief. She had to consider it well and made a long-term plan.

Su Li detoxified the poison for Gong Xiangjun. In the daytime, she went back to school and continued to read books in the girls' school. Being an armchair strategist didn't work, but she had a lot of experience in her previous life and had been to many places. She had got a lot from the biographies in the books.

However, she read too fast. Although she only stayed in the Book House for two months, she had read the books from the first floor to the top floor except those obscure copies. But she remembered the words in those obscure copies. When she was free, she would think about them. Therefore, she was always busy.

In the sixth floor of the Book House, when Su Li picked up an obscure copy and was about to read it again, an unexpected but expected guest appeared.

“Ruohan? You are…”

Su Li looked up and down at Mei Ruohan in surprise. Mei Ruohan wore a very simple cloth gown. If Mei Ruohan didn't have a few hairpins on her head, Su Li almost regarded her as a maid.

Mei Ruohan smiled with embarrassment, but did not care about others who are looking at her. She took Su Li's hand and went to a quiet place. She whispered, “Li, I've been worried about you ever since I heard about your serious injury. Unfortunately, I am too busy to see you. Now you can come to the Book House and your injury should be healed.”

Su Li nodded slightly. Now she came to her sense and said, “Are you here for our previous appointment?”

Mei Ruohan looked even more embarrassed and said with a grimace, “Li, I know it's very unkind. But I have no choice. Can I get the job you said before?”

“Of course!” Su Li nodded and smiled and a light flashed through her eyes.

Mei Ruohan did not see that and said happily, “That's great! When shall we go there?”

Su Li pretended to ponder and then took the ink brush and the ink. She wrote a letter at her desk in the Book House and handed it to Mei Ruohan. Then she said, “Go to the Linli Building with the letter and they will take you in.”

Mei Ruohan felt shocked when hearing what Su Li said.

The Linli Building?

Did she mishear? The Linli Building now was the famous winery in the Qinghe Town. The new wine it sold before was only with one word “Strong” on the sign and had aroused numerous discussions. Even she, who didn't drink, heard about it.

Was Su Li introducing her to work there?

Mei Ruohan felt pleasantly surprised because she heard that the salary of the Linli Building was much higher than that of the general inn. Although she was curious about why Su Li had such source, now she was in imminent situation and had no time to think much about it. Then she went to the Linli Building with Su Li's letter.

Su Li saw Mei Ruohan leave in a hurry and a light flashed through her eyes. Then she also left immediately. Before Mei Ruohan arrived, she returned to the Linli Building.

She thought that Mei Ruohan's economic situation would surely get better when she returned home, but she didn't expect it was worse than before. Now she would like to know why she was willing to do so.

After all, Mei Ruohan was a promising person she wanted to take in early and now it was time to train her.

Mei Ruohan took the letter and came to the Linli Building. After hesitating for a few minutes, she finally summoned up courage and stepped into the threshold regardless of how others would think of her.

“May I help you?”

A waiter greeted and asked her with enthusiasm. Mei Ruohan felt panic at once and took Su Li's letter out. She stammered, “I…I'm here for a job!”

The waiter was stupefied when hearing what she said and looked strange. The waiters of the Linli Building were bought by the boss and there were also many people who wanted to work in the Linli Building, but they had been rejected. A lot of people knew this for a long time. Didn't the girl know that?

When Mei Ruohan saw the waiter's reaction, she was anxious and looked pale. Was Su Li's letter useless?

Just when the waiter was in a daze, Yin Xuetong came over from the back hall. The waiter made a salute as soon as he saw her. Then, he greeted, “Shopkeeper!”

Yin Xuetong took the letter in the waiter' hand, waved her hand and said, “Here is nothing of your concern now. Go and work.”

The waiter responded quickly and could not help sighing. The worst two people bought in at the beginning now were in the management level in the Linli Building. Destiny always made fools of people.

Shopkeeper?

When Mei Ruohan saw petite and pleasant Yin Xuetong, she couldn't help but tighten up herself. She was a big shot who was even more powerful than the head of the Mei Family. Although she seemed to be her peer, Mei Ruohan was very nervous.

Yin Xuetong opened Su Li's letter and could not help curling her lips. It was an ordinary letter of introduction. She really did everything without exposure.

Yin Xuetong looked at Mei Ruohan up and down and sighed. Then she said with an expression of reluctance, “You are coming at right time. I've been short of a helper recently. Will you stay and help me?”

“What?”

Mei Ruohan was so surprised. She was hired before she did anything. Isn't…it a joke?

Yin Xuetong was a little annoyed when she saw Mei Ruohan's reaction. She said, “What are you confused about? If I was not badly in need of a helper recently, do you think you could be hired so easily?”

“No!” Mei Ruohan waved her hand in panic, then she clumsily took a bow and said, “Shopkeeper, thank you. I will work hard in the future!”

Yin Xuetong was more annoyed. Was she said the so-called girl that Su Li said to train specially? In her opinion, this girl was just an ordinary and unsophisticated little one.

“Well, Su Li said so and then I'll have a try.”

Yin Xuetong nodded slightly and led Mei Ruohan into the back hall to change clothes. Then she began to teach her what the shopkeeper would do. But Mei Ruohan knew nothing about being a shopkeeper, and she had so many questions that almost drove Yin Xuetong crazy.

Fortunately, Yin Xuetong soon found that Mei Ruohan was indeed smart. She was a quick learner. She gradually admitted that Su Li did find a girl who has a promising future. If they would open a branch of the Linli Building in the future, there was no need to worry about the shopkeeper.

Yin Xuetong thought of that and taught more attentively. But Mei Ruohan felt more frightened. She just came to be a common worker, and she couldn't understand why did she begin to learn how to be a shopkeeper?

Was that a temporary worker should learn?

She did not though that might due to Su Li, because Su Li's origin was so clean that it was impossible for her to have any connections with such forces. Mei Ruohan stopped thinking of Su Li, then she just felt strange about everything, and the Linli Building was really weird…

She kept thinking of that until evening. Then, Mei Ruohan got the first salary in her life.

“Should it be so much?”

Mei Ruohan looked the 100 taels of silver in her hand in a daze. She did nothing today, how could she get 100 taels?

“As long as you sign the contract, the 100 taels of silver is your reward.”

Yin Xuetong handed over a piece of official paper with a smile. It was only today that she found herself with a gift to be a liar.

Contract?

Mei Ruohan was shocked and she knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Was it a contract that she was required to sell herself to the Linli Building?

“It's not as serious as you think. Just a common contract.”

Yin Xuetong knew what Mei Ruohan was thinking about and couldn't help laughing, “You might read it by yourself. Sign or not, it's up to you.”

“Ok!”

Mei Ruohan swallowed hard and picked up the paper. Then she was instantly stupefied.

It was indeed a very common contract, but with a special regulation “When Part B works in the Linli Building, Part B shall not reveal any secrets about the Linli Building. And Part B shall be absolute loyal to the Linli Building, otherwise the Linli Building reserves all rights to pursue Part B's responsibilities.”

Mei Ruohan thought it was no deterrent at all. After thinking about the current situation, she finally picked up her pen and wrote her name, and then put her handprint on it.

Yin Xuetong smiled much more. She slowly took up the contract and said, “You can go now. Don't forget to come over in the evening. If you didn't come for one day, I would deduct your salary for one day.”

Seeing that Yin Xuetong did not put forward any excessive demands, Mei Ruohan was at ease. Then she held 100 taels of silver and went out of the Linli Building gladly. She figured out the direction and ran outside the city instead of going back to school for a rest.

Su Li, who changed a night jacket in advance, followed her like a night elf.
