"Beiping, when did you take the exam? Why didn't you tell us?"
"That's just not fair. You passed the test all by yourself, and we don't even know how to drive yet."
"How much is it?"
...
Seeing their excited expressions, Ye Beiping casually put away the 'driver's license' and said smugly, "If you want to take the test, go take it yourselves. It's easy now, basically you just need to pay money. It will probably get harder in the future, so keep up the good work."
He then urged everyone to eat quickly.
At the same time, Zhou Xiaomei agreed to the matter, asked how long it would take, and planned to inquire about it tomorrow.
Although there weren't many cars in this era, some people went home for the Spring Festival, leaving government vehicles idle.
It's only when government vehicles are idle that some people with ulterior motives will take them out to have some fun.
Everyone enjoyed the dinner, especially Su Xinwan, the little foodie, who was so full she could barely walk.
Ye Xiaoxin was the most excited.
She not only drank with everyone today, but her mouth was stretched all the way to the back of her ears all night.
Seeing this, Ye Beiping was genuinely worried that Ye Xiaoxin might not be able to move her mouth tomorrow, and it might even become crooked.
With the matters in Hangzhou mostly resolved, Ye Beiping naturally took Su Xinyi, Tao Qiuyan, and Ye Xiaoxin out shopping the next day.
I'm preparing to buy some New Year's goods that I'll need when I go home.
With less than a month until the Chinese New Year, Ye Beiping wanted to go back to his maternal grandfather's house as soon as possible to pay his respects. At least he hadn't met his granddaughter-in-law yet.
However, while shopping at a state-owned department store, they met someone that Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Qiu Mingyue.
Su Xinyi was stunned when she saw Qiu Mingyue.
Ye Beiping noticed that Su Xinyi was acting strangely, and then followed her gaze to Qiu Mingyue.
At this time, Qiu Mingyue was completely different from the village girl she was in Pingba Village. She wore light makeup and trendy clothes.
She even got a trendy new hairstyle.
At the same time, Qiu Mingyue also noticed Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi. She was slightly taken aback, but quickly changed her attitude.
She stepped forward slowly, revealing what she thought was a very sweet smile: "Isn't this Xinyi? Oh, Ye Beiping, you're here too. I didn't expect to see you again."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something.
"By the way, I've only been back for half a month. I wanted to go to your house to look for you, but Uncle Su said you weren't home, so I had to give up. I didn't expect to meet you here today. What a coincidence!"
Ye Beiping was speechless at Qiu Mingyue's smug look.
Su Xinyi narrowed her eyes and replied coldly, "Yes, I didn't expect you to come back to Hangzhou. Now that you're back, you'd better stop causing trouble. After all, Hangzhou is a city governed by the rule of law, not a rural area where the village chief has the final say."
Qiu Mingyue's face turned very ugly after hearing those words.
However, seeing that there were quite a few people coming and going, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and continue to pretend to be a well-behaved girl, saying, "Xinyi, you don't still hold a grudge against me, do you? I'm in such a miserable state, don't you have any sympathy at all?"
Ye Beiping was almost sick of Qiu Mingyue's affected manner.
"Qiu Mingyue, do you need our sympathy?"
"You..." Qiu Mingyue almost broke down when she heard Ye Beiping speak.
Because the first person she thought of was Yan Laoshi, that disgusting and repulsive old man. Every time she thought about how Yan Laoshi bullied her, she would grit her teeth in anger.
However, thinking of her purpose in returning, everything turned into a nonchalant attitude: "Ye Beiping, I know you've made some money in Hangzhou recently, but what good is money? This society still values power. People like you who engage in speculation and profiteering will be sent to labor reform sooner or later."
Ye Beiping did not want to say anything about this.
He pulled Su Xinyi away.
Just then, a voice rang out from afar: "Mingyue, where are you?"
Because it's close to the Lunar New Year, there are quite a lot of people in state-run shopping malls, and once you separate, you might not be able to find each other in the crowd.
It was this voice that made Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi pause, because they felt it was very familiar.
Turning her head, she saw Luo Yonghao carrying large and small bags as he walked towards Qiu Mingyue.
Qiu Mingyue also saw the person who came in. A look of disgust flashed across her eyes, but she quickly smiled sweetly and said, "Here I am."
When Luo Yonghao approached with a smile, he was taken aback when he saw Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi in front of him.
"What... are you doing here?"
Ye Beiping rolled his eyes at these words, speechless: "Do you own this shopping mall? Can't we come?"
"No, no..." Luo Yonghao was somewhat incoherent. He didn't know why, but he felt a little flustered when he saw Ye Beiping.
He could only whisper to Qiu Mingyue, "Mingyue, we've finished buying everything. Let's ignore them and go. We still need to go to Peng Tian's place."
