Yu Wenhao asked if it was overtime.
Shen Xingzhi replied directly that it wasn't her, and that she had something to do with Rong Yan.
The man was even more disappointed upon hearing this. He typed a message to ask Shen Xingzhi what was wrong, but quickly deleted it, as he had no right to do so.
Fu Jingsheng had to work overtime that night, but when he learned that Rong Yan and the others were having a gathering at Ye Jianming's place, he made a point of setting aside his dinner time.
Ye Jianming made several servings of curry rice. When Rong Yan and the others arrived, they joked that Ye Jianming was becoming more and more like a chef. They were surprised to find that the Ye family matriarch was also there.
The old lady heard Rong Yan's voice and came over from the backyard.
"Xiaoyan." She held Rongyan's hand tightly. "Come here for a moment, Xiaoming. We'll eat later. Xiaoyan and I have something to talk about." The old lady gave her a word of advice as she stepped out the door.
The old lady was acting mysteriously, and Rong Yan wondered what it was about. It turned out that the old lady asked Rong Yan if Dr. Chen had a boyfriend and asked Rong Yan to make a connection and introduce her to Ye Jianming.
"Grandma, no need to ask. They don't click. I made do years ago. Xingzhi has someone she likes, and Ye Jianming is too busy to be with her. Let's not try to pair them up." Rong Yan directly rejected the old lady.
The old lady looked disappointed: "Sigh, I always hear Xiaoming talking about the clinic, and someone even gave Dr. Shen a banner, right? I thought he liked Dr. Shen."
“We’re all friends, Grandma. Let’s eat first. Since you’re here, I’ll discuss something with Jian Ming later. Can you give me some advice?” Rong Yan helped the old lady into the house.
A sign hung outside the coffee shop saying it was closed for the day.
This area is reserved for friends at night.
Knowing that Rong Yan had trouble sleeping after drinking coffee in the afternoon, Ye Jianming specially made her fruit tea.
Everyone else had regular juice.
Shen Xingzhi was unhappy, and he deliberately said, "Ye Jianming, we're all friends, why are you treating us differently?"
"Can my sister be the same?" Ye Jianming already regarded Rong Yan as family. "Do you want some or not? If you don't want some, take it away and pour you some plain water. This juice is freshly squeezed by me."
"Tch." Shen Xingzhi snorted coldly, "Drink, don't move."
Soon after, Xiao Baihe and Fu Jingsheng arrived one after the other.
Before even sitting down, Little Lily angrily said, "Scumbags should all die a horrible death."
Everyone was surprised: "Who upset our little sister?"
After catching her breath, Xiaobaihe told Rongyan and the others what she had heard on the way there.
No wonder the girl who was supposed to leave work at 5 o'clock didn't arrive until 7 o'clock. Her new friend at the company had a fight with her boyfriend, and her boyfriend threw her clothes outside the door, so Xiaobaihe had no choice but to take her in.
Xiaobaihe said that this man is really tasteless. He takes advantage of his own house and kicks her out after an argument. He's absolutely awful.
Shen Xingzhi didn't dare to speak. She instantly thought of the argument she had with Yu Wenhao, and how she had also chased Yu Wenhao out.
After scolding her, Xiaobaihe continued, "Girls need to be independent. I want to work hard to buy a car and a house."
Rong Yan held Xiao Baihe's shoulders: "Well done, I support you."
Fu Jingsheng remained silent, after all, he had done something similar a few years ago, although he only talked about it and did not actually throw Rong Yan's things out.
The man reflected, "I was wrong before too. The worst thing you can do when arguing is to take advantage of the fact that you own a house and the other person has nowhere to go, and tell them to get out."
Rong Yan knew her husband felt guilty, but she said dismissively, "Everything has two sides. From another perspective, it's precisely because they were kicked out that women realize the importance of independence. Later, many women become self-reliant and transform themselves."
“Yes,” Xiaobaihe agreed. “I was touched by what Miaomiao went through. It’s because of these unreliable men that we have become stronger.”
"Wait a minute, what were we talking about at today's gathering? How did it turn into a criticism session?" Ye Jianming asked.
Then everyone got back to the main topic and started eating and chatting.
Ye Jianming was thinking of finding another part-time job, as the coffee shop wasn't enough to fill his life, so he kept thinking of Gu Hannian.
“The bubble tea shop next door is for sale, and I’m thinking of taking it over and opening a bookstore. People can buy coffee here and read books for free next door. Rong Yan just mentioned popularizing psychology knowledge, so I think we could open a class there, one every night. I’ll set up a classroom.” Ye Jianming was willing to help.
Grandma Ye said, "Okay, I'll pay for it. Nobody can take it from me."
“Then Xingzhi and I will do our part, and we’ll take turns attending classes.”
"Rongyan, I'll handle the online system. The coffee shop isn't busy during the day, so I'll also manage the reservation statistics," Ye Jianming said.
"What about me? Will I serve tea and water to everyone in the evening?" Xiaobaihe was very interested in what Rongyan was talking about. "I get off work at five o'clock, and I'm free on weekends. Plus, I live nearby, so it's convenient for me to come over."
"I might not have time for now, I'm busy with the company opening." Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Fu Jingsheng said apologetically, "I'll join you later if I have time."
“Fu Jingsheng, you go ahead with your work. We won’t miss you.” Ye Jianming stood up and started talking about the system. “I think I can handle the offline part as well. Just leave a phone number. Even if they don’t know how to use the internet, they can always make a phone appointment.”
“Ye Jianming, I’m worried that after the message is sent out, a lot of people will come. I have a suggestion, I don’t know if it’s feasible, could we find some stay-at-home moms who have nothing to do during the day to help out? Knowing that the classroom is here, some people will definitely come directly to make an appointment. Even if the coffee shop is quiet during the day, you can’t serve them all the time. It would be great if we had volunteer moms, so that someone can stay in the shop.” Rong Yan didn’t have extra funds to hire permanent employees, so since she was doing charity work, she might as well give full play to everyone’s initiative.
"I agree."
I agree.
...
Everyone agreed.
"Initially, we'll only target stay-at-home moms. If we have the energy later, we can relax the requirements. I think stay-at-home moms are the ones who need the most help," Rong Yan said, setting her target group.
In addition to providing financial support, Grandma Ye said she could have her housekeeper come over to help with cleaning and other tasks.
The next step is to issue a notice.
Rong Yan was in charge of writing the copy, and Ye Jianming selected a few websites to test the waters, starting with opening up phone appointments.
Everyone got right to it.
On my way home in the evening.
Fu Jingsheng was sullen, feeling that he hadn't been able to help.
Seeing that her husband remained silent, Rong Yan said gently, "Are you still thinking that you can't help?"
"Hmm, did I hold everyone back?" Fu Jingsheng nodded slightly.
“We all know you’re very busy, mainly mentally exhausted, with a lot of things to handle. You can just join later, and the rest of us can go first,” Rong Yan comforted. “Honey, you can only help others when your own career is stable.”
“So I’m unstable, I…” Fu Jingsheng sighed.
Rong Yan interrupted, "That's not what I meant. When the men's class starts, you can participate, and I'll make you a friend of men, okay?"
