Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Li Zhong took the initiative to tell Ai Shutong about his plans for him, "I'm thinking of asking someone to find him a job in a church primary school in a couple of days. It would be best if he can be a teacher, but if not, doing odd jobs would also be good."

Ai Shutong asked curiously, "Didn't Li Rong help collect rent and sort out the account books before? Why don't you use him anymore?"

Li Zhong: "I ask the servants in charge of looking after the houses to deliver it every month, and I deposit it into the master's account."

"It's all routine, nothing will go wrong in a short time."

Ai Shutong nodded, "Since you did this, you must have your reasons."

Li Zhong sighed, "He will never be able to see the world clearly if he stays with me. When I am gone, I am afraid he will be deceived and bullied by others."

"By then, it will be really too late."

Ai Shutong: "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run."

After the call, Ai Shutong said that after opening a clothing store, she would definitely receive a lot of calls, so she wanted to install a phone in her room.

Li Zhong nodded and agreed, and would go to the telephone company to apply for her tomorrow.

He didn't want Li Ma to come back. Chunrong was married, and there would only be two men left in the family.

Li Rong was still a young man, and he was afraid that Li Rong might act carelessly and offend the young lady.

The next morning, after finishing her meal, Ai Shutong began to pick out clothes and put on makeup. Ina attached great importance to her appearance, and since she was going to ask her to do something for her today, she naturally should dress up well.

After getting dressed, she took out an unopened bottle of perfume, tied it up with a ribbon, picked up her pearl handbag and went out.

When she arrived at Lilac Garden, the White Russian housekeeper opened the door for her. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Li Maili holding a tea bowl.

She asked in surprise: "When did the master come here?"

After so many years, Li Maili still feels that his niece can't speak.

Although he went to college, in his opinion, he had not made any progress at all.

He glared at Ai Shutong unhappily, "Why?! I still have to report to you when I get home!"

Ai Shutong guessed that the middle-aged man must have been upset somewhere and was in a bad mood. When he saw her as his punching bag, he started to get angry!

"How could I dare to think that? I suddenly saw you and thought that I only prepared a gift for Ina and not for you, which made me feel a little rude."

These words are much more pleasant to hear than the previous ones. It is enough for me to know my niece's intentions.

He rarely smiled at Ai Shutong and pointed to the sofa opposite him, "Sit down! Yina is putting on makeup and will be out soon."

Ai Shutong really couldn't understand why the middle-aged man's attitude suddenly changed?

Although she thought so, she didn't want to offend him, so she said nothing and sat on the sofa obediently.

"I heard you were in the newspaper?"

Ai Shutong understood something in her mind. It turned out that the reason why her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes when they just met was because she was in the newspaper.

She thought about it and answered carefully: "I did nothing because of my friend's trouble."

Li Maili put down the tea bowl and said, "I didn't expect you knew British nobles. Do you want to study in the UK?"

Ai Shutong answered very bluntly: "No money!"

Li Maili: "Didn't they all open clothing stores?"

Ai Shutong: "It hasn't even opened yet! I've invested all my money in it, and now I'm broke!"

Li Maili glared at her again, "You're still crying poor to me! I don't think I know that your monthly royalties plus rent are over 300 yuan."

Ai Shutong: "I invested 10,000 yuan. If you do the math, the income from the past two years combined is not enough, not to mention that I have a lot of expenses on a daily basis."

Li Maili squinted at her and said, "You can ask me to borrow some! You are so stupid not to use such a good resource of mine."

Ai Shutong looked at him and suddenly laughed: "Did Li Zhong tell you about my selling jewelry?"

Li Maili's eyes were a little evasive. "You are not young anymore, it's time to find a husband. How can you not have a few pieces of jewelry that can support your family?!"

Ai Shutong: "I won't get married."

Li Maili: "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This is the old custom in China. How can we not get married?"

Ai Shutong: "I don't like men of this era."

Li Maili stared at her in astonishment, "You, you... don't like men, then do you like women?"

Ai Shutong: “…”

Since there's a misunderstanding, just let it go and avoid him from matching you up with someone else.

"I feel better with women."

At this time, Yina came out after putting on her makeup. Seeing Ai Shutong, she smiled and greeted, "Tong, good morning!"

As he said this, he was about to give her a kiss on the cheek.

Li Maili stood up nervously, "No!"

Ina and Ai Shutong both stopped and looked at him with their hands open.

"what happened?"

Ina asked doubtfully.

Li Maili cleared his throat and said, "Um, Yina, you look so beautiful today. I don't want you to have your face close to others."

Ina laughed, "Li, you are so cute, are you jealous?"

Ai Shutong put her hands on her waist and looked fiercely at the middle-aged man in front of her, "Master, the hair on your forehead is much less than the last time we met."

Li Maili: "Damn it! This hairstyle misleads me."

Ina and Ai Shutong laughed at the same time.

After a while, Ai Shutong proposed her business ideas for the Nishang clothing store to Ina.

"Yina, you haven't been there yet! It was originally a two-story teahouse, with a total area of ​​more than 200 square meters."

"Some time ago, we hired someone to renovate it. We put a lot of posters of female celebrities wearing fashionable and beautiful clothes on the walls."

“Since the place is quite large, I want to get some ready-made clothes to sell in the store.”

Ina smiled and said, "You've found the right person. Our French clothes are the most beautiful and fashionable in the world. There is no woman who doesn't love French clothes."

"It just so happens that a friend of mine is in the garment business, and he is very talented in this area."

When Li Maili heard this, he sneered, "Peter, that sissy, can only sell clothes!"

Ai Shutong looked at his angry face and made some guesses, so she asked Ina in a low voice, "What does Peter look like?"

Ina smiled and replied, "Oh! He is a handsome man!"

Li Maili snorted coldly, "Yina, I heard it."

Ai Shutong smiled knowingly. The master was really too jealous today.

Two days later, Ina invited Ai Shutong and Peter to dinner on the fifth floor of the department store.

Ai Shutong's curiosity was satisfied. Peter was indeed a rare handsome man with a pair of charming blue eyes, delicate features, and a strong facial contour, which was very much in line with her aesthetic.

He is just a little old, looking to be in his thirties or forties, and must have already started a family.

"Peter, let me introduce you. This is my little sister Tong. We opened a clothing store together and I want to get some ready-made clothes from you."

Ina said with a smile.

Peter: "Oh! Honey, I've always thought you should go into the clothing business with me, and you finally got it!"
