Chapter 48 Returning to Yilan City
Song Yilin arrived at work early in the morning and received a greeting from her boss as soon as she turned on her computer.
My head is throbbing with pain. Perhaps I can make use of Boss Zhou.
The message that Boss Zhou sent her was: "Haven't you ever been a general manager? Don't you know how to ask questions? You can't even figure out such a small thing."
Song Yilin took a screenshot of this message and sent it to the general managers of all 30 Xin'ao Auto stores in one go, asking them to share data under the guise of learning.
She is at the same level as the other general managers, and data sharing within the same group is common.
Under the pretext that the boss required her to learn, the general managers of other stores quickly shared the data.
If we're talking about loopholes, Shao Min and Wang Yide, the general manager of the Yishi store, would definitely be willing to help her.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. These two people hate Boss Zhou even more than she does.
I've booked tickets to Yishi and will let my family know in the group chat.
After thinking about it, I decided to tell Xu Qingmin that he is now her boyfriend.
Xu Qingmin called right after the message was sent.
What brings you to Yishi?
Song Yilin sensed Xu Qingmin's nervousness about her sudden trip to Yishi. Was Xu Qingmin still holding a grudge about what happened back then?
"It's business. I need to find the former owner of the Yishi store and ask him about something."
"You go with me."
Sure enough, Xu Qingmin arrived in his Maybach shortly after.
"Do you happen to have something to do in Yishi?"
"No, I just wanted to go with you."
Hopefully it's not what she thinks.
Song Yilin thought she should talk to Xu Qingmin properly. Xu Qingmin seemed like such a strong person, but he didn't feel safe.
However, Xu Qingmin's insecurity is also related to her.
"I'm going to Yishi to find Wang Yide, the general manager of the Yishi store. He has some opinions about Boss Zhou. Perhaps he has some information about Xin'ao Group."
“I believe in your abilities. I came with you to see the place where you have lived for so many years. I haven’t been to this city for many years and suddenly wanted to come and visit.”
"You haven't been here for 13 years, have you?"
"No, it should be 9 years. I've seen you when you were pregnant. I was there the day you and Bai Ye got your marriage certificate. I was there the day you gave birth. I've been there many times, I can't remember them all."
Song Yilin felt as if a huge rock had been thrown into a deep lake, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.
Did Xu Qingmin get through those years like that?
"Xu Qingmin, after all these years, I owe you an apology."
"You've already said it, I don't want to hear you apologize. Every time you say sorry, it's like you're about to leave me again."
Song Yilin's eyes were a little sore.
My heart is pounding too.
She owes Xu Qingmin far more than that.
Upon arriving in Yishi, Song Yilin went directly to the place she had arranged to meet Wang Yide.
"It's only been a few months, but Yerin, you have an even stronger presence than before."
Wang Yide was still as pot-bellied as before, but he was no longer as composed and confident. It must have been quite a blow for him to step down from such a high position.
Wang Yide's conflict with Boss Zhou has left him unemployed at home. Without the nourishment of the workplace, a person's temperament will change.
“President Wang, I’ve come all the way from Jianghai, so let’s not waste any time. To be honest, I only realized how hard you had it before after I got to this position. I also know what kind of person Boss Zhou is. Zhou Jian is really not a good boss.”
Wang Yide couldn't figure out Song Yilin's purpose in coming, but since Song Yilin was still the general manager of the Jianghai store, Wang Yide would definitely be wary of her. If she wanted Wang Yide to speak, she would have to show sincerity.
“But you were willing to undergo sterilization for Boss Zhou. He may not be a good boss, but you are definitely a good employee.”
"Let me be frank, I need to exploit loopholes in the Xin'ao Group to drive Boss Zhou out of Xin'ao. I hope you can help me. I think the person we don't like right now is someone we can cooperate with."
"Xin'ao Group was founded by Boss Zhou. Do you think it's so easy to kick him out?"
"It's not easy, so we need your help and the entry of strong capital, such as the Xu Group, which has been upgrading its industries."
Wang Yide paused suddenly while drinking tea, and Song Yilin knew from his reaction that he had the information she wanted.
"Do you know anyone from the Xu Group?"
"Xu Qingmin was my high school classmate, my first love, and now he is my boyfriend."
Almost everyone knows that Xu Qingmin was cheated on by his first love, which led to him being single for many years. At this point, no amount of further explanation would be as convincing as this one sentence, which makes it easier to believe that his relationship with the Xu family is not ordinary.
"Yerin is truly a legendary figure."
"If things go well, you will remain the general manager of the Yishi store."
Song Yilin knew Wang Yide's determination to become the general manager of the Yishi store, and that he was certainly capable of doing so.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
Wang Yide is a very cautious person. A few words are not enough to convince him completely, and he will investigate.
The investigation's timeline is uncertain, and Song Yilin doesn't have time to wait for Wang Yide to conduct a thorough investigation.
Song Yilin sent Xu Qingmin a message: I'm done, come pick me up.
Xu Qingmin was right next door and arrived quickly.
"Then, Mr. Wang, please consider this first. My boyfriend is coming to pick me up, so I'll be going now."
Wang Yide realized what was happening and said, "Let's go together then."
When Wang Yide arrived at the door, he saw Xu Qingmin and took the initiative to shake hands with him. Xu Qingmin also politely shook hands with Wang Yide. Song Yilin knew that this stop was quite successful.
After meeting with Wang Yide, Song Yilin needed to go back to her home in Yishi. She didn't want Xu Qingmin to come along, but he seemed determined to.
As soon as I got home, Wang Yide sent me a message: "Pleasant to cooperate."
Song Yilin showed her phone to Xu Qingmin: "Mr. Xu, the first stop went quite smoothly. Are you satisfied, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Qingmin said nonchalantly, "I've always known your abilities. Just do things your way, and you don't need to report everything."
"If I don't report everything, aren't you afraid that one day I'll empty out your branch office?"
"If you're willing, the entire Xu Group is yours. Do you still need to move?"
Song Yilin ignored the conversation and turned to pack her things.
This house holds many traces of her life with Bai Ye, which is somewhat cruel to Xu Qingmin.
I haven't been back for a long time, and the ground is covered in dust.
Xu Qingmin stared blankly at the wedding photo on the wall, and Song Yilin immediately took it down and threw it in the trash can.
“I’m going to rent out this house. These personal belongings need to be sent back to Jianghai City. I definitely can’t keep the wedding photos.”
"When did you take your wedding photos? Bai Ye looks so thin."
"At that time, he was already in the late stage of stomach cancer, and he had never taken a picture as a memento."
"Then why aren't you staying now?"
"If there's already a funeral photo, it's unlucky to take wedding photos now."
These wall-mounted photo frames are indeed cumbersome. Throwing them away is considered unlucky, and they won't look good after a while. We also have many small wedding photos, enough for my mother-in-law and daughter to see. The ones that could be taken have already been sent to Jianghai City.
