C1941 Marry of the Wealthy Class 1868
"In Tongshi City, you might have the advantage, but in Dongjiang City, the influence of Ye Family has already existed for more than ten years. Whether it's financial or other, you have no chance of winning, so don't do foolish things."
Xue Zhaolin listened. Yes, the Zhaolin Group was all he had, but they could close down a company and get back to Base Camp.
The difference between the two of them, in the end, wasn't as large as once being two points.
After Lin Meicheng left, he called Ao Xue. However, before he could make a few rings, the phone was hung up.
In the Ye Family living room, everyone was present for the first time. Ye Nianmo and Ding Yiyi were sitting together. He was reading a book while she was watching TV. Sitting diagonally across from her was Ao Xue, who was also watching television.
Ye Shuimo and Sofia were playing a game together in the living room when they heard Ao Xue's phone call. Everyone looked towards her.
"Sorry." Ao Xue turned on the computer and pretended to be focused on watching TV.
Ye Nianmo didn't immediately return to Dongjiang City after disbanding the company. Instead, he stayed at home every day. Sometimes, when she and Ding Yiyi went home, they would be stunned when they saw him.
"This TV series has become really popular recently. What is it about?" Ao Xue asked.
"It's about a young scholar from an ancient rich family who fell in love with a scholar and followed him to the capital to take his exams. He didn't die on the way, but the scholar buried him and made him a top scholar in the capital. He married a woman from the imperial court and that woman came back."
"Liu Ruyan." Ye Nianmo raised his head from the book and answered seriously.
"You watch it too?" Ao Xue couldn't imagine how he would look at an ancient costume TV series like this.
Ye Nianmo replied and then turned his attention back to the book. He didn't seem to care about the plot.
Nonsense, what if she liked some male celebrity later on?!
At home, the landline phone rang. Sofia wanted to pick it up, but Ding Yiyi was very close, so she picked it up first.
"Aunt Jiu Jiu."
Ye Nianmo and Lili both forgot that she was looking over there, especially Lili. Her eyes were a little nervous. Although Ye Nianmo treated her well now, he was still better than before.
"Is that so? Nothing? No, he didn't tell us either. "
Jiu Jiu and Ding Yiyi sat on the sofa after they finished talking on the phone. Mingyao went to apply for a Hong Kong and Macao laissez-passer and went to Macau without a word. He seemed to have a lot on his mind after he came back.
"Mom, what's the taste? What did you cook?" Yan Mingyao covered his nose as he opened the screen door.
"Crap, my food!" Jiu Jiu was in no hurry to put on her slippers and ran towards the kitchen.
For dinner, there was a plate of stir-fried rice straw white rice on the table. Jiu Jiu was extremely upset. "What the hell am I doing? It's useless even if I'm old!"
"Mom," Yan Mingyao put down his bowl, "I've recently contacted dad."
Jiu Jiu was stunned. Her hand that was still holding the soup trembled and spilled a little bit of the tomato and egg-flower soup.
She handed the bowl to Yan Mingyao, then turned around to find a cleaning rag. While asking carelessly, she asked, "Why are you looking for him? Didn't I tell you not to contact him too much in order to prevent him from teaching you ill?"
"Mom, no matter what, he's my dad. Even if he cheated in the past, he did something bad, and he still loves you. Last time, he even told me to take care of you."
"Don't talk about all these useless things, hurry up and eat."
How could she explain it to her son? Your dad kidnapped Ye Nianmo before and tried to harm his life.
She would never let her son have such a moral shackle.
Yan Mingyao refused to give up, "Like you said, you're not young anymore. You can't always be alone, can you?"
Jiu Jiu didn't seem to care at all, "How am I alone? It can't be that you don't want to raise me, right? You're usually so busy, but I'm alone too. I'm happy when I'm free to deal with these plants. Right, the chilies in the yard are done. I'm waiting for you to come back to pick them. Wait a moment."
"No need Mom, I'm full."
"Why are you so full? You still have so much to eat, how can you only eat a little? Don't tell me you want to learn how to lose weight!" When she finished shouting, Yan Mingyao had already walked into the room.
The next day, Yan Mingyao was called into the office as soon as he started working. The boss pushed his resignation letter in front of him, "Can you tell me why? Was it a problem with the company? To be honest, I don't really want to take your letter of resignation. "
"No, it's my own personal problem."
The man in front of him could guess what was going on. "Is it because of your family?"
"No." Yan Mingyao sighed, "Boss, just approve it."
Being manager is a well-deserved position, but leaving at such a short period of time is not good for your next job, and I'm grooming you according to the regional manager's goal. You know that the company is going to establish an area distribution in southern China, and I'm going to assign you the authority to manage the southern part of China. If you stay in that position for a few years, I'm sure that you'll be able to start your own business.
Yan Mingyao's Adam's apple moved, "I still want to resign."
After exiting the office, the other colleagues immediately surrounded him. They did not know how to do so well before resigning their positions.
"There's still one more month to go, so don't hold back your tears either." Yan Mingyao forced a smile and said.
At the end of the day, everyone else had left. He had not left yet, and the cactus on the table was still very tender. He had heard that in the days he had been going to Macau, there were always different colleagues watering him.
"Manager Yan." A timid voice sounded.
He turned his head and saw that it was a little girl who had just graduated from the customer service department. She had been quiet all this while and was not very anxious in the company.
"Why aren't you going back?"
"Yeah, that's right." The girl was still a little shy. "Cactus, I water it every day before I go home."
Yan Mingyao smiled at her, "Thank you, then I'll give you this cactus."
The girl held onto the cactus and suddenly asked with a gloomy expression, "Are you really going to resign?"
Yan Mingyao turned off the computer, "Yeah, I'll treat you guys to a meal of farewell later."
"Actually, Manager Yan, I," the girl stammered nervously.
Yan Mingyao turned off the computer and stood up to face her. "Do you have something to say?"
"I want to say that Manager Yan likes you." As though afraid that she would reject her offer, or perhaps she wasn't afraid from the very start, the girl started to speak faster.
"You may not have any impression of me, we didn't have any interaction before, you didn't even help me or anything like that, but I just like you a lot, like watching you play around with other colleagues, like you frowning while modifying some schemes that other colleagues don't do well, and like when a client came to the company to cause trouble, you grabbed him by the collar and got him out."
Yan Mingyao didn't expect to hear such a confession. He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, "I'm already married. They are all people who have drunk my wedding wine."
"I know." The girl interrupted him, "I didn't ask for your response. I just knew that it would be too difficult for people to meet the same person in this life. Maybe we will never meet again, so no matter what, I have to let you know my feelings."
With that, the girl ran off on her own. On the other hand, she forgot to take the cactus.
He looked at the woman's back for a while, then turned around and placed the cactus on the girl's seat.
Jiu Jiu was busy in the kitchen when she heard the door open. She hastily took out the fish that was being fried and put it on the plate.
"Mom, do you have a guest today, or did you pick up some money on the way here?"
"What is this child saying? Don't tell me that I've never cooked these things for you to eat?"
Jiu Jiu took out the chopsticks and bowls. "Go wash your hands and eat."0
Yan Mingyao washed his hands and sat in his seat. He started to eat the rice in big mouthfuls.
Jiu Jiu absent-mindedly grabbed some food for him. After a long while, she finally said, "Child, have you been worrying about something recently?"
Yan Mingyao silently scooped up the rice and answered sullenly, "No."
"Mom still doesn't understand you. Every time you have something on your mind that you can't solve, you talk a lot more subconsciously. Look at how you've been talking more than a woman these past few days. Is it Ao Xue's problem?"
"Mom, stop making wild guesses." Yan Mingyao put down his bowl and stood up.
Jiu Jiu slammed the table. "Sit down!" "What bad habit do you have? You only have to eat half of the food before you leave. What if you waste it? You can't finish this bowl of rice anymore."
Yan Mingyao sat for a while with his neck hanging up. Then he picked up the bowl and continued to eat.
"Child, just tell Mommy about your unhappiness. I won't be happy either. I'll think about it every day to see if it's my own problem, so what happened to you and your husband?"
Yan Mingyao put down his chopsticks and kneeled in front of her, "Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry."
"What are you doing, child? Hurry up and get up. Men have gold under their knees, they can't kneel."
"Mom, I want to move to Tongshi City."
Jiu Jiu stared blankly for a moment before asking carefully, "Is Ao Xue going as well?"
Yan Mingyao nodded silently.
Jiu Jiu slapped the chair to make him straighten up. "I thought you did something wrong, but you specifically called Yi Yi to ask. Just tell her about it earlier. Go ahead, I'm not seventy or eighty years old, so I need her to take care of me."
Yan Mingyao stood there and did not move, "I originally wanted you to come and live with me, but I'm afraid you would not be used to it."
"Of course I'm not used to living here. I also need to take care of these plants, so it would be better if you weren't here. It would save me the trouble of thinking about what I want to cook every day as soon as I open my eyes."
After talking for a while, her tone suddenly became cautious again. "Son, are you going to come back?"
Yan Mingyao's eyes were stinging. He did not dare to lower his head and was worried that tears would come out, "I will come back."
Jiu Jiu sighed, "Go on, don't worry about Mom. I will wait for you here. If you are tired, you can come back. It's alright, even if you don't have a job, Mom will still be able to support you."
The night was very late. Jiu Jiu was sitting in her room holding Yan Qingyan's photo, "It's been so many years and I haven't seen you. Maybe the next time we meet will be when one of us is about to be buried."
Tongshi City
Yan Mingyao's car was parked in Ye Family, and this was the only thing he brought over.
