Chapter 244; Unrequited Love
Lu Ye issued the order, and Ye Qingbai took it seriously.
Indeed, his uncle is currently drunk and fast asleep, so he certainly wouldn't be thinking things through. What if that woman, in desperation, hides away to avoid divorce and refuses to go through with it?
Having a child while married is all it takes.
As the child's mother, she insisted that the child was Ye Tiandong's.
If he brings his child to cause trouble in the future, will his uncle ever have a peaceful day again?
Their company commander was very thoughtful.
Ye Qingbo hung up the phone and planned to go out again.
His father saw him rushing out again and stopped him, asking curiously, "Qingbai, where are you going so late?"
Ye Qingbo naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, but simply made an excuse, saying that a friend had something to do and asked him to go out for a while.
Because Wang Lan had already told Ye Jingsong about his son's relationship, and his son was going out so late to meet a friend, Ye Jingsong immediately realized something. His eyes flickered, and he looked at his son meaningfully, subtly reminding him, "Qingbai, although you are an adult, there are some things I, as your father, still need to tell you. Since you have a girlfriend, you should settle things down as soon as possible and let both sets of parents meet first. It's fine for you to be a man, but we have to consider the girl's reputation."
Ye Qingbo was in a hurry to leave. Upon hearing his father's words, he gave him a strange look and asked, "Dad, what are you saying?"
He doesn't even have a girlfriend, so why would he meet his parents?
If it really comes to the point of meeting his parents, he'll be laughing in his sleep.
"Don't try to hide it from us. Your company commander already said we know everything."
Ye Qingbai raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "What did the company commander tell you?"
"It's about your partner."
Ye Qingbo didn't have time to explain to him right now. He said, "Dad, don't overthink it. Don't worry about my girlfriend. I'll bring her home when I have one."
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
His father watched his departing figure and sighed heavily.
This brat is even in the army, yet he has such an open mind.
He thought to himself that now that his son had a girlfriend, he, as a parent, should start preparing for things.
At the very least, a new house should be prepared for him in advance.
His divorce from his ex-wife had already caused considerable emotional trauma to his eldest son. Now that his son is grown up, he wants to have heart-to-heart talks with him and show him care, but the son doesn't need it anymore.
Therefore, all he can do is provide the best possible living environment.
Thinking of this, Ye Jingsong went inside to discuss with Wang Lan the matter of preparing a wedding room for Ye Qingbai.
Ye Qingbai, who had just left home, had no idea that his father had already started arranging a wedding house for him. He first drove to Bincheng Grand Hotel to find Manager Cui.
Fortunately, Manager Cui is still awake.
When she saw Ye Qingbo return, she assumed that Ye Qingbo was worried about Ye Tiandong and had come back specifically to take care of him.
Upon hearing Ye Qingbai explain his purpose, Supervisor Cui also took it seriously.
Ye Qingbai's concerns were not unfounded. If that woman ran away, Ye Tiandong would not be able to get a divorce at all.
If Li Li comes to bother Ye Tiandong with her child later, it will cause great trouble to Ye Tiandong's life and reputation.
Supervisor Cui asked Ye Qingbai to wait outside for a moment. She put on her coat and went into Ye Tiandong's rest room to take a look. Seeing that he was sleeping peacefully, she felt relieved and went out.
They got into Ye Qingbai's car and headed to the entrance of the alley where the Li family lived.
With Supervisor Cui around, Ye Qingbai felt at ease and no longer worried about not being able to handle things if Li Li really ran away.
However, it's after get off work hours now, and it's really not very ethical for him to call out Supervisor Cui, who is on break, to keep an eye on him.
The two sat in the car, and Ye Qingbo smiled and said to Manager Cui, "Sister Cui, I will definitely talk to my uncle later and ask him to give you overtime pay and a bonus. He is really lucky to have such a dedicated employee as you."
Supervisor Cui sat there cracking sunflower seeds, seemingly not very interested in the overtime pay and bonuses Ye Qingbo mentioned.
She spoke calmly, “Young Master Ye, none of that matters. I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible so that our boss can focus all his energy on the restaurant. We had previously discussed opening another restaurant in Nancheng, but then Li Li became pregnant, and the boss kept saying he had to take time to be with her, so it was put on hold. I hope that after this matter is over, the idea of opening a restaurant in Nancheng can be put back on the agenda.”
Ye Qingbo gave her a thumbs up and nodded with admiration, "Sister Cui, you are truly a career-driven woman, devoted to your work, with lofty ideals and goals. In comparison, what kind of woman did my uncle find?"
People in this society are just like that, so varied and different.
Some people work hard and strive for success, while others only think about making money through crooked means and getting something for nothing.
Manager Cui just smiled at Ye Qingbai's complaints.
She looked away from the sadness in her eyes and continued eating sunflower seeds. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Perhaps youth and beauty are assets."
“No, I think inner qualities are more important,” Ye Qingbo said. “A woman’s age is never a disadvantage. On the contrary, as she gets older, her experience and temperament improve, and she becomes more mature and charming.”
"Sister Cui, that's the kind of woman you are. You need to be more confident."
Just like the goddess in his heart, she was calm, capable, and full of charm.
"Thank you for your encouragement and praise, Young Master Ye."
"Sister Cui, how long have you known my uncle?" Ye Qingbo asked casually, trying to keep the conversation going.
“It’s been five or six years, right?” Manager Cui recalled. “I used to work in the kitchen of a state-owned restaurant. Later, the state-owned restaurant business declined, and it was eventually contracted out to your uncle. Everyone else felt that the policies at the time were unclear and that there was no security working in a private enterprise, so they all went to find other jobs. I didn’t leave and stayed with your uncle. Later, I was transferred from the kitchen to work as a cashier, and now I’ve become a manager.”
“Boss Ye has had a tough journey,” said Manager Cui, gazing out the car window at the pitch-black night. “Aside from his poor taste in women, he’s a very good person, at least to us employees.”
Ye Qingbai glanced at Manager Cui's expression through the shadow of the window.
My mind is a jumble of emotions.
Tonight's casual chat with Manager Cui gave Ye Qingbai a deeper understanding of this 32-year-old woman.
A thought suddenly popped into his head.
Why didn't his cousin, who had worked with Manager Cui for so many years, develop feelings for her?
Judging from Manager Cui's expression, he clearly has someone he secretly admires, right?
He was all too familiar with the sorrowful expression on her face just now.
He himself often wore the same expression.
We are all the same kind of people.
Anyone with a brain could tell who Manager Cui had a crush on.
