Gao Heng asked: "What did your father write in the letter? Are you complaining that I didn't let you go home during the Chinese New Year?"
Chen Xiang read the letter and said, "No! Master, my father asked me to work here with peace of mind and not to worry about him. Everything is fine with him."
Gao Heng smiled and said: "That's good... let's take some time later and you can go back and see your father, or you can pick him up and live with him for a while...
"
Chen Xiang nodded happily and said, "Thank you first, sir."
As they were talking, the boy who had gone in earlier came back to the main hall, bowed and said: "Master, madam, please come over..."
"Didn't you see I have a guest here?" Gao Heng said with a straight face.
The boy was wondering: "Master, madam... Madam must invite you over..."
"No!" Gao Heng refused.
Chai Yan then said: "Gao Shanren, you'd better go see my wife. Maybe I have something important to discuss with you..."
The boy beside him nodded quickly.
Gao Heng frowned, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said: "The two of you can rest here for a while, I'll be back soon..."
Then, Gao Heng said again: "Chen Xiang, greet the two guests..."
"Yes!" Chen Xiang agreed immediately.
The next moment, Gao Heng took the boy to the back house, and only Chai Yan, Yuan and Chen Xiang were left in the hall.
Chen Xiang sat down opposite Chai Yan and asked politely: "You two look a bit unfamiliar, I wonder..."
Chai Yan immediately answered: "Miss Chen, we and I are guests of your inn. We were originally going to Yaozhou City, so we sent the letter along with you... By the way, I also
There is this..."
Chai Yan suddenly remembered something, so he took out a piece of silver and wanted to give it to Chen Xiang, saying that it was the money for last night's stay and asked her to give it to her father.
But Chen Xiang refused to accept it and said: "You two, my house is simple and shabby. It only costs ten cents to stay a night. How can I use so much? Besides, my father asked you to send me a letter. This is a Chinese New Year...
...Anyway, I can't accept this money. If my father finds out, he will definitely scold me!"
After all the talk, Chen Xiang was still unwilling to accept the money, so Chai Yan had no choice but to give up.
Then, Chen Xiang asked about his father's situation, and Chai Yan answered them all.
Chen Xiang felt much relieved when she heard that her father was fine.
Yuanyuan had a good first impression of Chen Xiang. Seeing that she was smart and sensible, he took the initiative to ask: "Miss Chen, is it hard for a girl like you to work in the city?"
Chen Xiang immediately shook his head and said, "It's not hard, sister. My boss treats me very well. I eat well, wear warm clothes, and live well. Everyone treats me very well."
Yuan Yuan took a closer look at Chen Xiang. Although her clothes were a bit masculine, she was still very decent overall. With her expression like this, she believed that what she said was not a lie.
"Miss Chen, what are you doing here?" Chai Yan asked curiously.
Chen Xiang didn't hesitate at all and blurted out: "I'm in charge of the warehouse!"
"In charge of the warehouse?" Yuan Yuan looked a little surprised.
Not only Yuan Yuan, but Chai Yan was also very surprised. Gao Heng was indeed a maverick, and he actually appointed a young girl to manage the warehouse.
Chen Xiang thought that the two people did not understand the work content of the warehouse, so he explained: "Oh, it is just to remember the number of medicinal materials in the shop, where they are placed, how much is left, and what is missing and need to be replenished. It is not a heavy task.
, all the bosses who move and lift don’t want me to do anything..."
It can be seen from Chen Xiang's face that she is very satisfied with her job.
Yuanyuan said in admiration: "Miss Chen, this job is not easy. There are thousands of types of medicinal materials. It is very difficult to remember them one by one!"
Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed to be praised, and immediately waved her hand and said: "No, no, no, it's not difficult. Our shop doesn't have many medicinal materials. There are only less than 2,000 commonly used medicinal materials. It's not difficult to remember..."
"Two thousand kinds?" Yuanyuan couldn't help but gasped: "You can remember all these kinds?"
Chen Xiang nodded and said: "Remember, I usually put them regularly, so it's not difficult to remember..."
Chai Yan's expression didn't change much, but he was shocked. It turned out that Miss Chen's memory was very good. She could remember more than two thousand kinds of medicinal materials.
At this moment, a young waiter hurriedly came to the front hall to look for Chen Xiang.
The clerk asked: "Mr. Chen, we have searched all over for Tribulus and there is none in the warehouse. They asked me to ask you."
Only then did Chai Yan and Yuan realize that Chen Xiang was already the head of the medicine shop.
Chen Xiang asked in response: "Why isn't there? The Tribulus is placed in the leftmost cabinet on the top floor of the third row of the warehouse. You guys didn't look carefully for each one!"
The waiter looked embarrassed, thanked him quickly and ran away.
Not long after, another clerk came. This man didn't ask about Tribulus, but said that a medicine called Litsea cubeba could not be found.
Chen Xiang didn't hesitate at all, and immediately told which row, which floor and which cell the medicine was placed on, and quickly dismissed the questioning clerk.
Just as the guy left, the man who asked about Tribulus terrestris appeared again. He said that Tribulus terrestris was found, but he encountered several new medicinal herbs and could not find them.
"You guys, can't you find anything without me?" Chen Xiang was asked three times in a row, and she suddenly became angry.
The guy lowered his head and said nothing, but he secretly agreed in his heart that without you, he wouldn't be able to find anything!
Chai Yan saw that Chen Xiang was very busy, so he took the initiative and said, "Miss Chen, you'd better go and do your work. We don't need to greet you."
"How can that be done?" Chen Xiang shook his head: "My boss has told me, how can I leave you alone?"
Before he finished speaking, another clerk came to call Chen Xiang, saying that she couldn't be separated from him in the warehouse and needed her to come over immediately.
Yuan Yuan was a little curious, so she asked Chai Yan in a low voice: "Why do the Gao family still let the guys work during the Chinese New Year?"
Chai Yan whispered: "Didn't his boss just say that he will open a semicolon after the new year? I guess he is busy with the semicolon right now!"
Yuanyuan thought about it and said to Chen Xiang, "Miss Chen, you'd better go and let's talk among ourselves."
Chen Xiang was concerned about the affairs of the warehouse, so she apologized and left with her assistant.
Yuan Yuan looked at the backs of Chen Xiang and others and said with emotion: "This Miss Chen is really capable. No wonder the Gao family makes her the boss!"
"Yes, this girl's memory is amazing!"
Chai Yan sincerely admired it. Just remembering the names of thousands of medicinal materials would be a headache. Why would Chen Xiang have to remember the quantity and placement? This would double the amount of data...
She deserves to be in charge!
After sitting quietly for a while, Yuanyuan suddenly asked Chai Yan: "I'm a little strange, Miss Chen is so young, why does her father..."
Chai Yan shook his head: "Who knows, maybe her parents came of age to have a son?"
"Well, that should be it!" Yuyuan agreed very much.
"Ah?" Chai Yan looked at Yuyuan in confusion.
Yuan Yuan said with good reason: "It is said that children born in old age are smarter than others. Look at this Miss Chen, isn't she exactly the same!"
