Chapter 575: I don’t want women to become his weakness

The day after Yao Tao left Fangzhou, Ge Ying found some time to go out alone.

As soon as Ge Ying left, someone behind her reported to Yang Lianhai, "Captain, Ge Ying is out. Should we keep an eye on her?"

"No need for that. Just be careful and don't let her find out anything wrong." Yang Lianhai lowered his head and was busy with his official duties without raising his head.

The subordinate hesitated and said, "She must have gone to the President's office to complain. Will this be detrimental to Boss Yao?"

Yang Lianhai paused with the pen in his hand, "No."

The subordinate still hesitated and refused to leave.

"Anything else?" Yang Lianhai asked.

The subordinate laughed and said, "Boss Yao said he would give us a few small gifts and asked us to go to the food store to pick them up..."

"Don't take other people's things for nothing just for this little thing." Yang Lianhai said in a slightly cold tone.

The subordinate looked embarrassed and said, "No...we didn't go to pick it up, but Doudou brought it to us. He said Boss Yao asked him to come."

Yang Lianhai felt irritated for no apparent reason. He put down his pen and asked, "What are you getting?"

"A bag of dried meat, a bag of dried fish, a bag of dried hawthorns, and a bag of corn grits, all weighing one pound."

Yang Lianhai: “…”

These things are quite generous.

Especially dried hawthorn and corn grits.

A piece of fruit or a piece of grain is sold at a very high price in the last days.

Yang Lianhai knew that Yao Tao was generous to him, but when it came to giving gifts to others, he always tried to save as much as possible.

It's not easy to make a profit from her.

In the past, the gifts she gave to her subordinates were mostly the smallest packages of dried meat and dried fish.

This is the first time I've seen things like dried fruits and grains.

He didn't expect Yao Tao to attach so much importance to the kitten.

Yang Lianhai couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If he had known that he would come out to meet Yao Tao in person last night, none of the things that happened later would have happened.

However, the reason why he asked Ge Ying to come out first was to find a reason to warn Ge Ying, so that she would know where her position was, so that she would not be like those women outside and become arrogant.

"Captain, we've accepted all these things." The subordinate carefully examined his expression. "Doudou said we have to accept them, otherwise Boss Yao will be angry."

Yang Lianhai glanced at his subordinate coldly, "This won't happen again."

The subordinate immediately went back happily.

Even with the door closed, Yang Lianhai could still hear the sounds coming from outside.

"...Boss Yao is really generous."

"This dried hawthorn is so delicious, sour and sweet."

"You can also add some to stewed meat to help reduce greasiness."

"I get a sore throat from eating meat every day."

"I'm going home tonight and asking my wife to make some corn grits porridge. She hasn't had any food in a long time."

"I'm going to send the corn grits to my parents. They're old and their teeth are not good. Eating meat every day is hard for them to digest."

As Yang Lianhai listened to the noises outside, a feeling of dejection arose spontaneously.

On his desk was the small wooden cart that Bai Lin had given him. He felt that he had never lost so badly in his life.

He had weathered all the storms, but he didn't expect to capsize because of a woman.

Is it worth it?

He asked himself.

He stared at the small wooden cart for a long time before he came to his senses.

Pick up the pen again and continue working.

Whether it was worth it or not was not something he should consider now. General Wan's issue had not been resolved yet, and he still had a lot of work to do.

At the same time, Ge Ying had just left President Fang Zhou's side.

The president leaned back in the soft chair with a serious expression.

His confidant made him a cup of hot tea and brought it to him. "Are you worried about Captain Yang?"

The President said quietly, "I'm very optimistic about Yang Lianhai. After the assassination, I no longer dare to trust anyone. General Wan hasn't made any moves, and I'm really worried. I want to train Yang Lianhai to take over my position, and I don't want women to become his weakness."

"Then why did you send Ge Ying to be his secretary?" The confidant was puzzled.

The President said in a deep voice, "I did this on purpose, believing that Yang Lianhai would understand my painstaking efforts. However, I didn't expect that Boss Yao would have such a great influence on Yang Lianhai."
