Suddenly, Qin Mei felt this matter was becoming difficult. She recalled the grand promises she'd made to Zhang Haoyuan and found herself in a bind.
"Um, that's not what I meant. Is it really so terrible of me to arrange a job for Zhang Haoyuan?" Qin Mei asked, dejected.
Jie Jingchen stroked her hair, not lecturing her about the dire consequences as his father had. "What kind of job do you want to arrange for him?"
"I'll have Ah Bing take him up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs," Qin Mei said. 'It's the perfect use of his abilities. Gathering herbs is the most suitable job for him.'
"The Zhang family has a long history with traditional Chinese medicine. I'm afraid he'll be the one leading Ah Bing, not the other way around," Jie Jingchen said.
Qin Mei's eyes lit up. The light wasn't on, and in the darkness, she couldn't see the expression on Jie Jingchen's face. "You're not going to stop me?" she asked excitedly.
"Why would I stop you?" Jie Jingchen asked with a smile.
