"Alright, stop trying to persuade Ye Tianyu!"
Liu Qingyao said impatiently, "It's about to end between him and me, so don't worry about me!"
"If I had known you were calling me to talk about this, I wouldn't have come out!"
"The signing ceremony is tomorrow afternoon, I have to go now!"
After saying that, he got up and left.
Ding Xue stared in disbelief at her retreating figure, remaining stunned for a long while.
She never imagined that her cousin would almost turn against her for Gu Tingchen.
The next morning, Ye Tianyu and Liu Qingyao got up one after the other.
Last night was the first time we slept in separate rooms, so the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
The two looked at each other in silence and ate their breakfasts separately.
Ye Tianyu knew that after today, his relationship with Liu Qingyao would be over.
He thought about it for a long time last night and decided to agree to Fang Xueqing's request to find a job at her company.
Before that, he also needs to visit his adoptive mother.
After breakfast, Liu Qingyao went to the company to prepare for the signing ceremony.
Ye Tianyu also went out and took a taxi to the countryside.
At Fang's Group, Lin Man entered the president's office.
"President Fang, we've found out about Ye Tianyu's background."
"Besides his adoptive mother, he also has a biological mother, Jin Manfei, the general manager of Yuanjing Building Materials Company, a supplier that our group used to cooperate with!"
"Um?"
"What a coincidence?"
Fang Xueqing was very surprised: "Jin Manfei remarried. Her second husband, Chu Qianshan, is the general manager of the Huihuang Villa Hotel under our group, and her stepson, Chu Zihao, is also the hotel's business director. He has been doing very well recently, bringing in several tour groups. I was just about to reward him!"
"I never imagined that Jin Manfei was actually Ye Tianyu's biological mother. With this connection, repaying Ye Tianyu's favor will be much easier!"
"Then what do you want me to do?" Lin Man asked.
Fang Xueqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "No rush, let's finish Fang Xueqing's contract signing this afternoon first."
"As for Ye Tianyu, he didn't mention his biological mother to me, so he obviously doesn't know that Jin Manfei has a business relationship with our group. Don't tell him about this for now!"
"Understood!" Lin Man replied, then turned and left.
Jinniu Village, although it is called a rural village, is actually a village in the western suburbs of Jiangnan City, only about ten kilometers away from the city center.
Ye Tianyu stood in front of a simple bungalow and knocked on the door.
"Mom, I'm home!"
"Squeak!"
The door opened, and a middle-aged woman dressed in a blue coarse cloth shirt appeared in front of Ye Tianyu.
"Ah! Tianyu, it's you!"
This middle-aged woman is Zhong Shuqin, Ye Tianyu's adoptive mother.
"Mom, it's me. I've come back to see you!"
As Ye Tianyu spoke, he handed over a small wad of banknotes.
"Mom, here's three thousand yuan for your living expenses!"
Zhong Shuqin quickly declined.
"Oh no! No need. Mom has been doing odd jobs at the village workshop lately, and the money she earns is enough to supplement the family income!"
"It's not easy for you to run a stall outside. Save this money for your future wedding!"
"By the way, how are things going with you and Qingyao? When are you getting married?"
Upon hearing his adoptive mother ask about Liu Qingyao, Ye Tianyu felt a pang of bitterness. He dared not tell her about his plans to break up, and forced a smile.
"Marriage isn't something that can be done so quickly; I'll wait until I've achieved some success in my career."
"Keep this money. Don't do odd jobs anymore. I'll support you!"
After saying that, he stuffed three thousand yuan into Zhong Shuqin's hand.
Zhong Shuqin couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept the money and then sighed.
"Tianyu, Mom knows it's not easy for you out there, making a living by selling roasted sweet potatoes at a stall, it's so tough!"
"I think you should go find your biological mother! She has her own company and can help you avoid some detours."
Ye Tianyu's expression immediately changed.
"Mom, don't mention that woman again. She's not my mother. You're the only mother I have!"
"Hey! How can it not be? You're her..."
Zhong Shuqin wanted to persuade her again.
Ye Tianyu interrupted her, his face full of hatred: "Mom, stop talking!"
"How could she have abandoned her husband and children to run off with a rich man!"
"My father died of illness because of her!"
"I will hate her for the rest of my life. Even if I become a beggar, I will never go to her again!"
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Ye Tianyu, Zhong Shuqin could only shake her head and sigh.
Back then, Jin Manfei was vain and abandoned her husband, leaving behind Ye Tianyu, who was only a few years old, to run away with Chu Qianshan. This caused Ye Tianyu's father to fall ill with resentment and die with bitterness in his heart.
Ye Tianyu hated Jin Manfei to the extreme and vowed never to forgive her or acknowledge her as his biological mother. It was impossible for him to seek refuge with her now.
As for Zhong Shuqin, Ye Tianyu was very filial. If she hadn't adopted him back then, he didn't know what he would be like now.
Therefore, he regarded Zhong Shuqin as his own mother.
He became irritable after mentioning Jin Manfei, and he stopped talking about going to Fang's Group to look for a job.
After telling his adoptive mother to take care of herself, he left and returned to the city.
The barbecue cart was stolen, and he also gave the three thousand yuan he had to his adoptive mother.
Fang Xueqing wanted to arrange a job for him, and he had already thought it over last night.
So they went directly to the Fang Group.
In the president's office, Fang Xueqing was giving instructions to Lin Man.
"I have some business to attend to at Hongyuan Group this afternoon to meet Jiang Ruonan. Could you arrange for someone from the General Office to go to Xingwan Hotel and make contact with Liu Qingyao first? I'll go there after I finish my business!"
No sooner had I finished speaking than the security guard called.
"Mr. Fang, a man named Ye Tianyu is looking for you!"
Fang Xueqing's beautiful eyes flashed, and a smile flickered across her lips: "Let him in!"
"President Fang, who is he?" Lin Man asked.
"That Ye Tianyu who sells roasted sweet potatoes!"
"It was him?"
Lin Man looked puzzled: "What's he doing here?"
"He'll find out when he comes in!"
Fang Xueqing smiled meaningfully.
"Da da da!"
Footsteps sounded as Ye Tianyu entered the office.
Fang Xueqing looked at him: "What? Have you thought it through?"
Facing the aloof and powerful Fang Xueqing, Ye Tianyu was a little reserved and stammered.
"I've made up my mind, I'm going to look for a job at your company!"
"Um?"
"You're looking for a job at our company?"
Lin Man stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
"Don't interrupt!"
Fang Xueqing waved to her, then looked at Ye Tianyu: "I knew you would come looking for me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!"
"It's better to be lucky than lucky. Let me test your abilities first, and then we'll see what kind of job suits you!"
Ye Tianyu nodded and said, "Please tell me how you plan to test it!"
He was thinking to himself, "Didn't you say you'd arrange a job for me? Why do I have to try it out?"
It seems she was just saying it yesterday; she didn't really want me to work for the Fang Group.
Fang Xueqing noticed his thoughts, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "This afternoon at three o'clock, I was supposed to hold a signing ceremony with Liu Qingyao at the Xingwan Hotel for an electronic project cooperation."
"But I have something to do this afternoon and can't be there on time."
"Therefore, I appoint you as my representative to go to the Star Bay Hotel and sign this cooperation agreement with Liu Qingyao!"
Ye Tianyu sneezed so hard his eyeballs almost popped out.
"What?"
"You want me to go and sign the agreement with her?"
