It was bad. Even though he knew that it was troublesome, he still cared about her.
He had lived for thirty-nine years. In those thirty-nine years, he had never done anything that he had no control over. No matter who or what it was, he was always confident that he could handle everything.
This was the only time.
However, he had already made his choice, hadn't he? In life, one had to do something irrational at least once.
The convenience store's business was on track. Xiang Xiaoyuan knew that Xu Xiyao would start school in September and become a senior high student. Although she was reluctant to part with such a good employee, she was prepared for Xu Xiyao to leave.
In the past few days, she had started to recruit new employees. At the same time, she had also discussed the contract with Xu Xiyao. Xu Xiyao was very surprised at her proposal to buy out the recipe or give him a bonus. He refused, "No, there's no need. The original recipe was not bad. It was just a simple change. There's no need for a bonus."
Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed. She felt that she was a good boss once again. She lamented that it would be great if she could meet a boss like her before she transmigrated.
"Bonuses are indeed a little troublesome." Xiang Xiaoyuan did not give him a chance to refuse. "Then I'll just buy it out directly. I've found a professional lawyer to evaluate it. Xu Xiyao, you don't have to be polite with me. You don't know that I've struggled a long time before making this decision."
Xu Xiyao was silent for a moment before he asked softly, "Are you trying to help me because you pity me?"
Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at him in shock. "No, not at all."
How could she sympathize with Xu Xiyao? He was talented and good-looking. Life might seem a little tough now, but his future was limitless.
She might as well pity herself rather than Xu Xiyao!
She had always been generous with her compliments, at this moment, she said sincerely, "I think you will have a good future. Based on your results, it's no problem for you to get into one of the top universities in the country. You have a good personality and are capable. In the future, no matter what industry you are in, you will be highly valued by the leaders. So I'm not pitying you or helping you. It's just a contract. I'm also thinking about myself. I want to save the trouble in the future. After all, half of the convenience store's profit is from Oden. If I want to open a branch in the future, I won't tell anyone about this formula."
If she really wanted to buy it out, it wouldn't cost much. The convenience store was too small right now, and Xu Xiyao had only modified the formula a little.
Xu Xiyao was silent for a long time before he finally agreed. He said in a low voice, "Even without the contract, I wouldn't give the formula to anyone else."
"I know." Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled brightly. "That's why I won't take advantage of you."
Bullying an honest person would result in bad karma.
Xu Xiyao was suddenly labeled as an honest person. After being stunned for a moment, he seemed to be affected by Xiang Xiaoyuan's emotions. He couldn't help but smile and nod.
Xiang Xiaoyuan realized that the charity dinner of Shengkong Group was more important than she had expected. In the coming days, waves of people came to the Lu family's villa. Some people came to deliver the latest outfits of the season, as well as a variety of high heels and jewelry. It was a dazzling sight to behold, this was also Xiang Xiaoyuan's first experience of how luxurious life could be when she was the wife in a wealthy family.
If she didn't want to, she did not need to go shopping at all. Those high-end boutiques would send their most professional shop assistants to bring clothes and jewelry to her door, allowing her to choose as she pleased.
There were too many clothes. She spent the whole morning choosing, but she still could not decide on the clothes and jewelry to wear that night. She added the employees of these few shops on Wechat. In the future, if she needed them, they would send her the latest outfits of the season according to her request. Of course, all the bills were under Lu Wanggui's name.
Xiang Xiaoyuan was in a good mood. When Lu Bei came back from work, she even asked him to help her choose. Lu Bei was patient, although in his eyes, these gowns all looked the same, and so were the jewelry and bags.
It was also because of Lu Bei's obedience that Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly had an idea, "Can't I bring Lu Bei to the charity banquet this time?"
In the evening, when Lu Wanggui returned, Xiang Xiaoyuan asked him about this matter.. The child was almost an adult, and it was time to let him experience this.
