"You suddenly make me feel so scared..." Mu Beihan looked at them, suddenly feeling uneasy. It seemed like they would all start their own businesses. If she didn't do the same, she would fall behind and distance herself from them.
Song Xinyue also felt the same, but her family was too poor to allow her to start a business!
If she succeeded, it would be great, but what if she failed?
She didn't have the capital to take that risk.
"Whether you start a business or not, our friendship won't be affected. Of course, that's just on my side. For you, there may be some emotional distance. And realizing your own value doesn't necessarily mean starting a business. For example, for Beihan and Chenmeng, your major is law. If you study well and become a great lawyer in the future, and build a good reputation in society, you will still have a high status. No matter what profession you choose, it won't be easy, but if you truly love what you do, you'll treat it with sincerity and have a greater chance to succeed. If you do something just for vanity... of course, vanity can also be a motive and can lead to success, but personally, I think passion is more important," said Leng Xiaoyao.
She chose to start a business because she had the ability to do so. Otherwise, she wouldn't want to struggle here when she only had two years.
She was pleased that they were inspired to start a business, but it shouldn't be blind. After all, starting a business had risks.
If they were determined to do so, she would naturally support them. "If you are determined to start a business and can do it with passion and dedication, I can work with you to figure out what suits you best, but I hope you won't rush into it without careful consideration."
An Chenmeng and Xiong Manxin were pondering whether they were just impulsive or really wanted to do it.
"Take your time to think about it. Don't rush and put pressure on yourself, or you might make the wrong decision," said Leng Xiaoyao. Although doing things sometimes required impulse, many things still required careful consideration.
An Chenmeng and Xiong Manxin didn't bother to find an answer right away. They didn't have to come up with an answer today. They really couldn't rely on their impulse. They needed to think about it carefully.
They started playing the game and before they realized it, it was already afternoon.
Maid Tong started cooking, and Ning Muqing came with a lot of things.
"Just coming over is enough. Why bring so many things?" Leng Xiaoyao criticized her in a loving tone. She knew that this was inevitable etiquette, but Ning Muqing brought too much.
"Visiting someone's home requires bringing gifts. Besides, you did me a great favor!" Ning Muqing even felt that these gifts weren't enough.
"Oh, by the way, what's the result with Wang Pengyu?" Leng Xiaoyao asked with concern. She saw that Ning Muqing's forehead was slightly darkened and thought of Wang Pengyu. She wondered if Ning Muqing's upcoming trouble was related to him.
"Lin Xiaoyou was fired directly. She came to see me afterwards. After I told her about the situation, she didn't come to see me again. Wang Pengyu came to the company several times to confront me and threatened me. He said that if I didn't accept him again, he would pay someone to punish me. I was scared, so now I go home with my brother after work every day." Ning Muqing said with a worried look. She was really scared of Wang Pengyu.
Even if she called the police, Wang Pengyu hadn't done anything yet and no one else heard his threat to her. She also didn't record it as evidence because she didn't expect him to threaten her.
Leng Xiaoyao frowned. She felt that if something bad happened to Ning Muqing, Ning Guanjie wouldn't be able to escape either.
"That Wang Pengyu is really a terrible man! How could he go this far to bother you," An Chenmeng said angrily.
"Not everyone has common sense. Terrible people easily go crazy when they fail to take advantage of others," Xiong Manxin said, worried about Ning Muqing.
"That man does seem like he'll go crazy when he can't take advantage of others," Leng Xiaoyao said.
"Then what should I do?" Ning Muqing was already afraid. When she heard what Leng Xiaoyao said, she became even more nervous.
Leng Xiaoyao took out two peace talismans from her bag and handed them to Ning Muqing. "If you trust me, wear this close to your body. Don't let it touch water. Take it off and put it aside when you shower. Give the other one to your brother. I'm not cursing you intentionally, but I feel that you'll be in danger these next few days. It's easy to offend people by saying this kind of thing, but I'm only doing this because I consider you a friend."
For some reason, Ning Muqing inexplicably believed in Leng Xiaoyao and didn't feel uncomfortable about what she said.
"I trust you." Ning Muqing took the peace talismans and said, "Xiaoyao, thank you."
After wearing a talisman, Ning Muqing felt inexplicably relieved.
It was not only Ning Muqing, everyone there had one.
Leng Xiaoyao hadn't thought about giving talismans to Tang Xing and Tang Ning before. She only thought of it after they were abducted yesterday and decided to make a few more since she invited everyone over for a meal today. Even Maid Tong and Feng Dongcheng had one.
Talismans could only withstand big attacks. If someone was kidnapped and the kidnapper didn't harm the person, the Taoist magic figure wouldn't be effective.
Therefore, when Mu Yufan was kidnapped, the talisman was useless because Brother Bao didn't even hit Mu Yufan, let alone hurt him.
An Chenmeng already had one, so she didn't need another, but Leng Xiaoyao gave one to Mu Beihan, Xiong Manxin, and Song Xinyue.
They were skeptical about the effectiveness of the talismans, but they didn't raise any objections nor did they refuse.
"Why didn't Chenmeng get one?" Xiong Manxin asked when she saw that Leng Xiaoyao didn't give An Chenmeng one, thinking that Leng Xiaoyao forgot.
"Because I already have one!" An Chenmeng proudly said. They didn't believe in the effectiveness of the talismans, but she did! After all, she had seen it work several times!
When Xiong Manxin heard that An Chenmeng already had one, she looked at Leng Xiaoyao grumpily and complained. "Boss, why does An Chenmeng get one when she's a newcomer, but I only get one now after following you for so many years? Is An Chenmeng more important than me?"
She wasn't really angry, but she was really upset and jealous.
Leng Xiaoyao immediately went over to appease her. "It's because something happened to Chenmeng last time, so I gave it to her. Then I forgot about everyone else. It was only because someone in the company and Tang Ning almost got into trouble these past few days that I remembered about the talismans."
In fact, it was Shen Xinyue who begged for it, so she forgot to give some to Xiong Manxin and the others afterwards.
That reduced Xiong Manxin's annoyance a little, but it wasn't completely gone. "Humph! I'm still jealous. You have to compensate me."
"What compensation do you want?" Leng Xiaoyao chuckled and asked.
