Please help me find the contact information for Professor Li Shuping's husband from the School of Economics and Management. Yes, it's Mr. Zhao from Hongyuan Building Materials. Okay, send it to me when you find it."
He gave his brief explanation and hung up the phone. The whole process took less than twenty seconds.
Ning Xiwan, Duan Shuce, and Hua Jinyue all stared at him in amazement.
"Qingliu...what...what are you going to do?" Ning Xiwan stuttered a little.
Ye Qingliu put his phone back into his pocket and looked up at Ning Xiwan. His gray-blue eyes looked particularly calm under the soft light of the box.
It was as if he had just asked someone to help check a package, and the feeling of vulnerability caused by sleepiness was perfectly restrained.
"Mr. Zhao, through Uncle Chen, wanted to ask me to collaborate on the project on that piece of land in the west of the city last month, but I declined, saying 'conditions aren't ripe yet.'" He said in a flat tone, as if describing the weather. "He must be really hoping to get Ye's approval."
Ning Xiwan understood instantly: "So... you want to..."
"Ask Uncle Chen to send regards to Mr. Zhao on my behalf. By the way, Teacher Li seems to be very concerned about my sister Ning Xiwan's studies. The Ye family is very grateful for her responsibility."
Ye Qingliu picked up the somewhat cold coconut, took a sip, and added, "That's enough."
Just enough. Those four words are enough. Mr. Zhao of Hongyuan Building Materials is no fool; he would naturally give his wife some advice.
He turned a blind eye to the insignificant matter of "skipping classes" and even took the initiative to help "clarify the misunderstanding" for the real daughter of the Ning family who had just been found and the "sister" personally acknowledged by the young master of the Ye family.
Ning Xiwan kept her mouth open for a long time. She knew Ye Qingliu was smart and knew the strength of the Ye family.
But I hadn't expected him to handle this "trouble" with such precision, efficiency, and... cunning! With just a few casual words, he completely neutralized the potential storm brought about by "Mistress Miejue." And this was done while he was clearly sleepy.
"Brother! You are so handsome!" Hua Jinyue was the first to react, looking at his brother with starry eyes in admiration, as if he had not just made a phone call, but dismantled an atomic bomb with his bare hands.
Duan Shuce looked at Ye Qingliu, and a hint of understanding and faint appreciation flashed across his eyes.
"Qingliu...I can never repay you for saving my life! I'll take care of your math homework from now on!"
Ye Qingliu glanced at her indifferently, his tone filled with a hint of lazy teasing due to fatigue: "Did you pass the make-up exam for your failed Advanced Mathematics?"
Ning Xiwan: "..." Her smile froze on her face. It hurt her son! Even when he was sleepy, he didn't forget to stab him!
Hua Jinyue burst into laughter again. Duan Shuce's lips finally gave way, curling upwards in a distinct arc.
Ye Qingliu looked at Ning Xiwan's deflated expression, and a faint smile flashed across the depths of his eyes, like a ray of sunlight shining through a crack in a glacier, disappearing in a flash, and then covered by a deeper layer of fatigue.
He put down the cup, picked up the wet towel, and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth. His movements were still elegant and calm, but revealed a desire to end it as soon as possible.
"Let's go." He stood up and picked up the school uniform jacket draped over the back of the chair, his voice filled with a subtle sense of relief. "It's late."
Late at night, the streets were much less crowded with cars. The autumn air deepened, and the wind blew on my face with a biting chill.
The two motorcycles merged into the city's veins again and headed in their respective directions.
The lights in the garage of the Ye family villa were still bright. Hua Jinyue parked the car and took off her helmet, her twin ponytails a little messy.
She yawned loudly, rubbed her eyes, and looked at her brother: "Good night, brother! Go to bed early!"
"Well, good night." Ye Qingliu nodded in a low voice.
