"You didn't go back to the beauty salon today?"
Mu Qing held her son and took Li Ke back to the sofa and sat down.
Li Ke looked thinner. He had been depressed for two months because his father was suddenly poisoned to death by his stepmother.
"Not yet. Madam, I came here to quit my job."
Mu Qing was about to say that she was calling herself the eldest young lady again, but when she heard her say she wanted to quit her job, she asked with concern, "I asked you to quit before and focus on managing your beauty salon and being a good agent. Those two things can also make you a good income, but you refused and insisted on going to work."
"Why, you're thinking of resigning now?"
Mu Qing knew that after Li Yongtai's death, Li Ke checked the account books left by his father.
The first debts that Li Yongtai and his wife paid off were actually gambling debts.
Mrs. Li worked in a nightclub and earned a lot of money. Li Yongtai later made a comeback and his business improved, so he was also able to make money, but his gambling debts were mostly paid off.
But not a penny of the money owed to suppliers was repaid.
Maybe it was Brother Qiang and his men who were collecting the gambling debts. Li Yongtai and his wife were afraid of Brother Qiang, so they paid off the gambling debts first.
Li Yongtai died and Mrs. Li was imprisoned. She was sentenced to death in the first trial. Mrs. Li was dissatisfied and believed that she had committed murder in the heat of the moment, so she appealed in court.
Still waiting for the second trial.
Li Ke took over the large amount of debt they owed to suppliers.
As for the remaining gambling debts, Brother Qiang's boss specifically said that debts are settled when a person dies, so they are forgiven.
Her younger brother and sister-in-law still have to go to school, and the debt owed to suppliers is also a huge sum. Li Ke is in need of money the most, but she has resigned. Mu Qing does not want to keep her to continue working as a gardener in Fengchen Villa, but just wants to know why she resigned.
"I want to do more business and expand my business. I have too much debt to pay off now. With my current income, I don't know when I can pay it off. I also want to take over my father's factory. He spent a lot of effort to reopen it."
"Now that the business is on track, I can't just abandon the factory. I'll wait until my brother comes of age and then hand it over to him to manage."
"There are too many things to do. I can no longer work normally like before. The salary that the eldest young lady gives me is too high. I can't work normally, but the eldest young lady still pays me normally. I feel guilty when I receive the salary."
"After much deliberation, I decided to quit my job and devote myself to my business, striving to make money and pay off my debts as soon as possible."
After his father passed away, Li Ke looked through his father's accounts and saw that there were still many suppliers owed money and gambling debts that had not been paid back. Li Ke was under great pressure and suffered from insomnia for a while.
As for the gambling debt, the big boss behind Brother Qiang said that it was forgiven and Li Ke didn’t have to pay it back. She knew that it was for Jun Li’s sake that she was forgiven.
But the money owed to suppliers must be repaid. It is not easy for them to run a factory and do business. She promised all debtors that if she gave them time, she would pay them back one by one.
If she stayed to work at Fengchen Villa, Mu Qing would increase her salary to 10,000 yuan a month, but she often had to go out for business and could not go to work normally. Even if she was reluctant, she could not stay at Fengchen Villa and get paid for nothing.
Another reason why Li Ke resigned was that she felt that instead of shortening the distance between her and Jun Li, the distance between them was getting farther and farther. She was overwhelmed by the debt and had to support her younger siblings' education. She didn't want to drag Jun Li down, nor did she want to take money from him to pay off her debts.
They weren't even officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet.
Even though Jun Li said he could help her pay off her debts, she refused sternly.
Li Ke backed out and didn't want to continue developing the relationship with Jun Li.
Leaving Fengchen Villa means leaving Junli.
From now on, she tried not to meet Jun Li and not to associate with him.
They say they have feelings for each other, but in fact they are not deep. After a long time, he will forget her and she will let him go.
This is the best ending for her and him.
He is so outstanding, he deserves to find a woman who is better and more suitable for him than her.
Mu Qing nodded as she listened.
After Li Ke finished speaking, she asked Li Ke: "You resigned, do you also want to stay away from Junli?"
"Madam, the Third Young Master and I are not what you think."
Li Ke looked down at Ye Yao who was sitting in her arms. The little guy was very restless. Sometimes he wanted to stand up, and sometimes he wanted to crawl on the sofa. When she put him sitting on the sofa, he would crawl back to sit on Li Ke's lap.
She used this to avoid Mu Qing's scrutinizing gaze.
"Why isn't it what we imagined? Didn't Junli say you were developing? Li Ke, are you thinking of backing out? Because your father passed away, and you inherited the debts, with so much debt to pay back, you don't want to drag Junli down, right?"
Who is Mu Qing? She used to be a novelist. Novelists have rich imaginations. When Jun Li and Li Ke hadn't made any move yet, she regarded them as the protagonists of the story and imagined many plots.
Li Ke came to resign, and although her reasons were legitimate, Mu Qing dared to say that she did so mainly to avoid Jun Li.
Li Ke was silent for a moment, then looked up, meeting Mu Qing's gaze, and said seriously, "Madam, don't you think the Third Young Master and I were unequal and unsuitable from the beginning? My family is broken and heavily in debt, and I'm no longer the daughter of a billionaire."
"I'm not suitable for the Third Young Master. Since I'm not suitable, I'll cut the Gordian knot. I won't hold the Third Young Master back. He can find someone better. He's so outstanding. As long as he's willing, there will be many well-matched young ladies who want to marry him."
It’s not that Jun Li can’t get married, it’s that he doesn’t want to settle for marriage and doesn’t want to marry a woman he doesn’t love.
Will always be single.
The fourth young master's son is already a few months old, the fifth young master is about to have his wedding, and the third young master is still single.
Mu Qing wanted to say something, but Li Ke spoke first, "Madam, you don't have to enlighten me or persuade me. Although I am poor now, I also have self-respect. Madam, you have always treated me as a friend. I am very grateful. I hope you will leave me some dignity."
Mu Qing sighed. Since Li Ke had said that, what else could she say?
"Since you've decided to resign, I won't try to keep you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can always call me. I will definitely help you if I can. After you leave Fengchen Villa today, you will no longer be a worker there. When you see me, you don't have to call me Madam. I truly treat you as a friend."
"As your sister-in-law, it's not easy for me to intervene in your affairs with Jun Li. You two should handle it yourselves. In fact, Jun Li is willing to wait for you."
Jun Li also knew that Li Ke had a strong sense of self-esteem. After taking over the debts left by her father, she was not willing to accept any help from Jun Li and the Jun family.
Jun Li also respected her choice and did not help her secretly, nor did he ask his brothers to help her.
No matter what she wanted to do, he gave her enough respect.
