Zhou Xiaomei wasn't lying. Although Tang Xiaolong had been leaving early and returning late these past few days, he hadn't been asking her for money like before.
After making inquiries, she learned that her son had gathered a group of people to sell leather shoes with Ye Beiping.
I heard Ye Beiping say last time that he gets a commission of two yuan for a pair of leather shoes.
Now that her son has recruited so many people, he'll probably make a lot of money in the future, so she absolutely refuses to accept Ye Beiping's money this time.
Ye Beiping glanced in the direction of the kitchen, told Zhou Xiaomei to "wait a moment," and then walked towards the room.
A minute later, he came out holding a stack of bright green banknotes.
"Sister Zhou, let's keep things separate. You'll definitely get your money back for this business. Here's three thousand five hundred yuan, and the extra five hundred yuan is your hard-earned money."
Upon hearing that it was the director of the detention center, Ye Beiping knew that Zhou Xiaomei must have used considerable connections.
He was quite impressed that someone could bribe someone of that caliber.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaomei accepted the money without saying anything.
After all, Ye Beiping is a big boss now, and she was just being polite just now.
After putting the money away, she got up to say goodbye.
Ye Beiping wanted to persuade her to stay for dinner, but Zhou Xiaomei waved her hands repeatedly.
After she left, Su Xinyi was just kicked out of the kitchen by Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin. She saw Ye Beiping standing at the door and paused, asking, "Has Sister Zhou left?"
"Mm," Ye Beiping replied, closing the door.
When he returned to the living room, he told Su Xinyi about Su Ze.
"Xinyi, I'll go for a walk with you later, and then we'll go to your house."
"Go to my house?" Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, not immediately realizing which house it was.
When she realized what was happening, she frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Ye Beiping could detect a slight dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Su Ze's matter is resolved. You can visit him at the detention center tomorrow and tell your parents." Ye Beiping smiled slightly and stroked Su Xinyi's slightly protruding belly, saying in a low voice, "This is considered a promise to your parents. After this matter is over, they will have no reason to come looking for you again."
Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi's eyes widened instantly.
"You...you've made the contact?"
"Mmm." Ye Beiping's hand continued to stroke his belly, a deep smile on his face.
Surprised, Su Xinyi glanced in the direction of the door and immediately realized something: "You asked Sister Zhou for help?"
"Um."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Su Xinyi immediately became anxious, removed Ye Beiping's hand, and asked, "How much did it cost?"
She already knew a little about what Zhou Xiaomei did when they first met.
After getting to know each other for so many days, Su Xinyi also learned that Zhou Xiaomei specialized in this kind of intermediary work.
While I wouldn't say they have extraordinary connections, they certainly possess considerable abilities.
However, Su Xinyi knew that asking Zhou Xiaomei for help would definitely cost money.
Ye Beiping didn't pay any attention and simply held up three fingers.
"Three hundred?" Su Xinyi guessed, then saw Ye Beiping shake his head and exclaimed softly, "Three thousand?"
"Um."
Ye Beiping nodded slightly, seeing his wife's mouth agape in surprise, and comforted her, "It's only three thousand yuan. Your husband can earn it back. As long as your parents can meet Su Ze, that's fine."
Waaaaah!
After hearing Ye Beiping's words of comfort, Su Xinyi burst into tears.
At the same time, she hated Su Ze to the core. He had taken her money before, leaving Ye Beiping with no capital to start a business, and now she had to spend three thousand yuan to meet him.
Su Xinyi was heartbroken over the loss of three thousand yuan, but she was also touched by Ye Beiping's kindness.
"How could you be so stupid? That's three thousand yuan! Waaah!"
"Why, why does it have to be this way?"
“From now on, you are not allowed to spend money to pull strings for Su Ze anymore. He only has himself to blame. I will talk to my parents about it, but you are not allowed to be a pushover and interfere.”
Waaaaah!
Seeing his wife's tearful face, Ye Beiping's heart ached terribly. He quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, I won't be a pushover anymore. I'll listen to my wife from now on."
The two of them embraced each other.
Hearing Su Xinyi's crying, the three people in the kitchen peeked out and saw the young couple embracing. They smiled and retreated back into the kitchen.
