Chapter 187: Driving Away Huang Xiaohua
“What did you say?”
Song Tiantian looked at Huang Xiaohua in disbelief.
For a moment, she didn’t know whether to question if Huang Xiaohua had lost her mind, or if she had always been too easygoing and kind, making her seem like a sucker, for Huang Xiaohua to say such things to her.
Huang Xiaohua felt a little guilty, then became righteous and said to Song Tiantian, “The city defense army of Qingshan City has suffered countless casualties and doesn’t even get enough to eat every day. Their lives are truly miserable. Song Tiantian, if you have any conscience at all, you should help them.”
“Huang Xiaohua, I think I’m truly stupid. I shouldn’t have met you. I don’t want to explain so much to you, nor do I want to talk about how much I’ve contributed to Qingshan City.
But I, Song Tiantian, am just an ordinary and humble underprivileged person. If it weren’t for my intelligence and wit that luckily allowed me to participate in the research of the Cold Fragrance series of potions, I don’t think I would have ever been able to obtain the Pet Beast Center in my life.
But Song Ruyu, born noble with a rich family background, can definitely obtain anything I can.
Moreover, the recipes for Cold Fragrance Number One and Cold Fragrance Number Two potions have already been fully publicized. Those noble families have long since researched upgraded versions. They haven’t publicized their potion recipes, nor did they publicize the previous potion recipes.
Why should I publicize them?
The reason the security guards at the Pet Beast Center can eat well now is because I’m not making money. I’ve given all my money to everyone, and all the money I earned before has been given out.
Song Ruyu is unwilling to pay a single extra cent. She’s unwilling to put in the effort to ensure her subordinates eat well and live comfortably.
And you come to demand that I, an ordinary person who has already gone bankrupt, continue to sacrifice.
Huang Xiaohua, have you ever considered the lives of the over a hundred thousand people in the Pet Beast Center? If they lose their good welfare, will these security guards still be willing to protect these people?
Should the people here just die?
I’ve already been good enough to Qingshan City. I’ve allowed you to recruit people at my Pet Beast Center, whether they are security guards or chefs. As long as they are willing to go with you, I agree. Do you want to see everyone left here starve to death before you’ll be satisfied!”
Song Tiantian was truly angered.
Who isn’t struggling? She is too!
Huang Xiaohua wanted to say something more, but Song Tiantian, using Spiritual Energy, swept her up and threw her out.
Song Tiantian instructed her subordinates that from now on, she would never see Huang Xiaohua again. If Huang Xiaohua came in the future, she was not to be announced.
Song Tiantian felt she needed to change her mindset.
In this world, it’s hard to be a good person!
Her nature was a bit too soft-hearted.
Who doesn’t want to be a good person? But the price of being a good person is to be a workhorse for others your entire life, to work diligently without complaint, to sacrifice all your own interests, and to not see yourself as a person.
This is something Song Tiantian cannot accept.
The reason Huang Xiaohua dared to say such things to her was precisely because she seemed more approachable than Song Ruyu.
It’s like working at a company; if you need someone’s help, you’ll definitely approach the person who seems easier to talk to.
This is everyone’s mentality. They don’t necessarily intend to bully others at first, but subconsciously they bully the weak and fear the strong. However, most people are like this, so the truly good person at the unit ends up being exhausted.
It’s the same at work as it is at home. Property management wants to save trouble, and friends and family also want to save trouble. Whoever is easier to talk to is asked to take a step back, rather than standing firmly on the side of justice and carefully judging who is truly right and who is truly wrong.
Don’t even talk about others; even Song Tiantian is like this. Why doesn’t she ask others when she has problems? She often asks Dr. Bai because Dr. Bai is easier for her to talk to.
Subconsciously, she doesn’t want to approach someone difficult to deal with.
Actually, Song Tiantian now understands why Dr. Bai’s reputation is so bad.
It’s because Dr. Bai is unyielding. Whoever approaches him, he appears cold and indifferent. He doesn’t even see his former fiancée, Song Ruyu, when she comes to him.
If Song Tiantian goes to see him without preparing food, Dr. Bai won’t even open the door.
The favor of desperately saving Dr. Bai from the Misty Illusion Realm has been almost used up.
Dr. Bai giving her half of the Pet Beast Center has essentially repaid most of it.
What remains is her excellent culinary skill, and Dr. Bai likes the gourmet food she makes.
The past Song Tiantian couldn’t understand why Dr. Bai and Song Ruyu immediately wanted to break off their engagement upon meeting. Now, Song Tiantian understands.
The Beast Tide is about to arrive. If Dr. Bai didn’t break off his engagement with Song Ruyu.
Now, Song Ruyu would definitely make Dr. Bai a free labor force to help defend the City Wall.
With this engagement broken off, who knows how many fewer troubles there would be.
With the Beast Tide coming, Dr. Bai is having a great time now, eating and drinking all day, and sleeping.
He doesn’t have to worry about so many things. Song Tiantian is busy to the point of being dizzy every day, and she still has to persist in Cultivating, as her Cultivation cannot be separated from her hard practice.
Dr. Bai is different; he lies on the sofa and listens to her talk about Dividends.
However, there are no Dividends now because Song Tiantian has used all the Dividends to build the Pet Beast Center. She owns half of the Pet Beast Center, and her Shares are 51%, giving her absolute decision-making power. In fact, it can be said that the Pet Beast Center is hers.
After all, the finance department is also her people.
Song Tiantian arranged two sofas in the living room, one for her and one for Dr. Bai. Although life is busy, there is also a need for time to relax.
Moreover, Song Tiantian usually lies on the sofa, reviewing work reports on DingTalk.
Weekly and daily reports seemed absurd when she was an Employee, but as a Boss, she found them somewhat useful, especially for approvals, which are quite convenient.
Writing daily reports is usually absurd, but now it’s a must.
The situation of the Beast Tide is constantly changing, and there are many matters to report every day.
Ordinary Employees don’t need to write weekly or daily reports, but Management must.
This is how Song Tiantian stipulated.
“You finally kicked that woman out. You actually endured for so long; I truly admire you immensely.”
Dr. Bai walked out of the Study Room, lay on the sofa, and teased Song Tiantian.
Song Tiantian’s thoughts were interrupted by Dr. Bai. She glared at him unhappily, “Aren’t you afraid of nothing? What’s wrong, are you scared and hiding now?”
“I don’t want to cause trouble. By the way, the ice cream and popsicles in the refrigerator are all gone, and the Meat Cans in there are also gone. They need to be replenished.”
“I knew why you came out. Can’t you make some yourself?”
“I gave you a heads-up in advance. If there’s no merit, there’s at least hard work, right? Now you’re complaining because I’m eating a bit more of your food.”
