Chapter 151 Failed Poaching Attempt

Chapter 151: A Failed Attempt to Poach an Employee

Ji Fu said, "Hello, Ms. Qi, Mr. Ke. May I ask what brings you here?"

Qi Zhuoran smiled slightly. "Well, we saw the wedding dress and attire Mrs. Lan wore on her wedding day. They were beautiful and elegant, perfectly complementing Mrs. Lan's beauty. We were captivated by your craftsmanship, Ms. Ji, which is why we came specially to meet with you today."

"Have you ever considered a career at Fengfei Fashion? We sincerely invite you to join our team."

She confidently extended her right hand to Ji Fu, as if expecting a handshake of agreement.

Ji Fu said, "Thank you for your appreciation, but I'm not interested in Fengfei Fashion, so I won't be joining."

"What?" The smile on Qi Zhuoran's face froze. She looked at Ji Fu in disbelief. "I didn't hear you clearly. Could you repeat that?"

Ji Fu replied, "I'm sorry, but I'm happy with my current job and have no plans to change it."

At that moment, a customer at the counter said to Jiang Yingxue, "Boss, someone is trying to poach your employee."

Jiang Yingxue smiled. "Don't worry, they won't succeed." Ji Fu was not only an employee in her shop but also her Spiritual Pet. Even if God himself came to this realm, he wouldn't be able to take her away.

At the dining area about five meters away, Qi Zhuoran looked utterly exasperated. "Ms. Ji, do you realize what you're saying? This is an offer from Fengfei Fashion, something many people beg for but never receive! And you actually refused. I hope you'll reconsider carefully. This is your chance to change your life!"

Ji Fu said, "No need to reconsider."

"Huh? Ms. Ji, are you serious? We're here on behalf of Fengfei Fashion to invite you to join us." Ke Junyu was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped to the floor. Fengfei Fashion—a renowned high-end clothing brand famous both nationally and internationally. How could anyone refuse!

"Ms. Ji, you do know about Fengfei Fashion, right?"

Ji Fu replied, "I do." Fengfei Fashion was merely a well-known clothing group on Blue Water Star, nothing more.

Qi Zhuoran was seething inside. She had never expected Ji Fu to reject her invitation. "Since you know about Fengfei Fashion, you should understand the value of our offer."

Ji Fu said calmly, "Value is something each person measures for themselves."

Qi Zhuoran was angry but maintained a friendly demeanor, patiently persuading, "Ms. Ji, you're still young and may not realize the importance of having a good job."

She curled her lips into a smile. "A respectable job, a considerable income, and admiration from those around you—all of these are things Fengfei Fashion can offer you. What can this job give you? Honestly, I don't mean to discourage you, but being a small cashier is a dead-end job."

Ji Fu said, "Whether it's a dead-end or not isn't for you to decide. Honestly, I think your jobs don't have much future either."

Seeing they were unconvinced and wanted to argue, she added, "There's no need to say more. I have absolutely no interest in Fengfei Fashion. By the way, aside from this, do you have anything else? If not, please leave. We're closing soon."

Qi Zhuoran and Ke Junyu exchanged glances, seeing frustration and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Qi Zhuoran said angrily, "You'll regret your foolish choice!"

A faint smile played on Ji Fu's lips. "Leave now, foolish Mortals."

"You!" Qi Zhuoran turned to Ke Junyu. "Forget it, let's go. She'll realize her regret later." With such narrow vision and low emotional intelligence, it was pointless to try reasoning with someone determined to fail. She wouldn't bother anymore.

After leaving, Ke Junyu patted his head. "Oh no, I forgot to ask what kind of fur was on the sofa cushion."

Still fuming, Qi Zhuoran replied, "It's just a piece of fur. You can search the fabric room tomorrow!"

After returning to Y City, their supervisor scolded them for failing to bring the person back and then assigned someone else to the task.

Fan Liya smiled sweetly and smugly. "Looking at the photos on Manager Zhang's computer, Ms. Ji seems quite young. I wonder if she's even graduated from university yet. Sister Zhuoran, could you send me Ms. Ji's information? Ms. Ji and I are around the same age, so communication might be easier."

A flicker of mockery flashed in Qi Zhuoran's eyes. "Is that so? Ms. Ji looks about the same age as your niece. Since you say so, I wish you success." Ji Fu was someone who wouldn't budge no matter what. She wanted to see how Fan Liya's communication would turn out.

Meanwhile, Xuehe Shop also closed after 1:30 p.m. Jiang Yingxue drove Ji Fu and Xiao Rou back to Nanhe Village.

Xiao Rou was a sixth-stage Moonlight Spirit Rabbit, the younger sister of Xiao Wei.

The mall in Nanhe Village would be completed in just over half a year. Jiang Yingxue had recruited over a dozen Moonlight Spirit Rabbits and several eighth-stage Holy Silver White Tigers.

Moonlight Spirit Rabbits were gentle by nature and herbivorous demon beasts. Many positions in the mall suited them, such as administration, customer service, waitstaff, cashiers, and finance.

Jiang Yingxue sent these Moonlight Spirit Rabbits to learn administrative and financial knowledge based on their aptitudes. Because Xuehe Shop was short-staffed, Xiao Rou was temporarily interning there.

Holy Silver White Tigers possessed exceptional hearing and combat abilities, making them suitable as security personnel to protect customers in the mall.

The construction of Xuehe Mall was proceeding smoothly. Because Jiang Yingxue insisted on the best of everything, the 2 million in her account was almost spent. She transferred another 20 million in construction funds.

The cement road in Nanhe Village had been completed. Hu Yuchun bought a plot of land near the Stone Rabbit to build a three-story villa. He had a premonition that Nanhe Village would soar like a phoenix.

At the same time, he and Xue Kaisheng, as real estate developers, each acquired a piece of land around Xuehe Village for building houses. Hu Yuchun leaned more toward constructing villas, while Xue Kaisheng focused on ordinary residential buildings.

Some villagers in the village had already harvested their nutrient-rich vegetables. After trying them themselves, they found them excellent.

After discussions between Village Party Secretary Jiang Zhiqiang, Village Chief Jiang Kangji, and Jiang Yingxue, the vegetables produced in Nanhe Village were labeled as "nutritious" and "health-promoting."

Jiang Zhiqiang took the nutrient-rich vegetables grown by the villagers to promote them in hotels and supermarkets in the city, creating a relatively smooth sales channel.

One day, Village Party Secretary Jiang Zhiqiang and Village Chief Jiang Kangji gathered the villagers together.

Jiang Zhiqiang spoke passionately from the stage, "Fellow villagers, please pay attention! The vegetables on the plate in front of you are the nutritious, health-promoting vegetables our village will vigorously promote. They are affordably priced and delicious. You can try them first..."

Jiang Kangji added, "Over the past two months, a small number of villagers in our village have already experimented with growing them, and the results have been very promising."
