Soon all the dishes were served, and everyone began to eat.
Hua Kai ate quite a bit, because she hadn't eaten enough at noon, and with all the commotion in the afternoon, she was really hungry.
When she ate her third bowl, she felt a little embarrassed and looked at Ye Yifan and Gu Xiaoxue apologetically: "I don't usually eat this much. I didn't eat lunch today."
Ye Yifan frowned as he looked at Hua Kai: "You can't ruin your stomach just to make money. If you need to go out at noon in the future, tell Xiaoxue in advance and have her come to you during the last class at noon. Go to the cafeteria ten or twenty minutes early for lunch."
He couldn't just let Hua start her business without her knowledge, because he had done the same thing himself, studying and doing business at the same time. Some people are just destined to move faster than others, so all he could do was make her path smoother.
Hua Kai felt that something was off about Ye Yifan today. He wasn't the same person who used to be so prone to awkward small talk.
But since it was a good intention, and this was too unusual, I quickly waved my hand and said, "No, this is too much trouble for Director Gu. Besides, I only skip meals occasionally, once or twice a week is fine. I have bread in my desk."
Gu Xiaoxue patted her chest and said, "This is nothing. Don't be shy with me. I'm just afraid you won't bother me."
Hua Kai wanted to object, but Ye Yifan said, "It's settled then. Don't try to fool us. If you don't go to Xiaoxue, then Xiaoxue will have to call you to eat early every day."
Hua Kai suddenly felt that this style of writing was rather peculiar, but she didn't dare to play any tricks: "Okay, then I'll be troubling Director Gu quite a bit in the future."
Gu Xiaoxue smiled and said, "When we're not at school, you can just call me by my name. Let's just say whatever we want."
Hua Kai shook her head: "No, what if I get used to it and call you by the wrong name at school? I feel more at ease calling you this way."
Ye Yifan said, "She can do whatever she's used to. Xiaoxue, please take good care of Huakai at school from now on."
Hua Kai stopped Ye Yifan, who was behaving strangely today: "Captain Ye, did I do something wrong? Or are you feeling a little dizzy from the wind?"
Ye Yifan touched his nose: "No, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat, do you want another bowl?"
Hua Kai shook her head: "No need, I've eaten enough."
Gu Xiaoxue looked at Ye Yifan and felt that something was wrong, but Ye Yifan would interrupt whenever she asked, so she couldn't ask any more questions.
After finishing their meal, they chatted for a while. Then Ye Yifan said that he would go back to the village the next morning and asked Huakai if she should tell her family about what happened today.
Hua Kai was actually afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep it a secret, so she thought for a moment and said, "Then please talk to my family for me and tell my parents not to worry."
Ye Yifan said, "Don't worry, I know what to say. Don't overwork yourself with the drawings. If you have any difficulties, just give me a call."
Hua Kai agreed. Now she felt that there was nothing Ye Yifan couldn't do. Moreover, this guy had connections everywhere. When she encountered a problem with the Education Bureau, he could directly call the director. She couldn't help but admire him.
After high school ended, the restaurant became crowded, and they prepared to leave. However, when Hua Kai went to pay the bill, the owner said that it had already been paid. She didn't know whether Ye Yifan or Gu Xiaoxue had paid, and smiled as she told them that she would definitely treat them to a big meal in the future.
As they were talking, Gu Xiaoxue said she had something to do and left after leaving the restaurant, leaving Hua Kai and Ye Yifan behind, walking on the sidewalk near the school.
Hua Kai covered her forehead with her hand, looking at the fiery clouds in the west: "What beautiful fiery clouds! I used to be so busy that I never slowed down to appreciate the scenery around me. This view is so beautiful."
Ye Yifan also looked up at the horizon: "Me too. Actually, it's good for people to slow down."
Hua Kai turned to look at Ye Yifan beside her: "Captain Ye, is your work in Cuishan Village coming to an end?"
Ye Yifan said, "Yes, but my work is all within Changyuan City. It's very convenient to drive to the city. Just let me know if you need anything."
Hua Kai nodded happily: "Yes, I won't stand on ceremony with you. After all, I owe you too much already. I'm not afraid of being bitten by a lot of lice."
Ye Yifan laughed: "Are you really a native of Cuishan Village?"
Hua Kai paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, everyone in our village watched me grow up."
"You are truly special."
"You're special too. Do we, who are different from others, appreciate each other?"
Ye Yifan maintained a smile throughout: "If you say so, then it's fine."
Looking at Ye Yifan's profile, Hua Kai was filled with mixed emotions. Had this guy paid for his looks? Why was he so handsome?
After walking around for a while, we arrived at the school gate. Everyone had gone to eat by then, so there weren't many people.
Hua Kai asked Ye Yifan, "Is there anything else you want to tell Director Gu?"
Ye Yifan shook his head and said, "No need, I'll stay at his place tonight."
Hua Kai agreed, "Then I'm going back to school. I still have a lot of drawings to do."
She still has to work on the draft with Meng Ming tomorrow, and she's been thinking about it. If it weren't for Hua Wanhe causing trouble, she could have finished drawing the basics during the afternoon self-study period.
Ye Yifan knew she was busy; he had been just as busy himself, so he understood her even better: "Okay, call me if you need anything."
Hua Kai said goodbye to Ye Yifan again and went back to school. As she walked, she wondered what was wrong with Ye Yifan, but she couldn't figure it out.
Back at school, she immediately started drawing patterns. She planned to meet with Meng Ming tomorrow to discuss the sample and try to finalize the design so that she could submit the drawings next week. With the money, she could buy some fabric and yarn, since it was getting cold and her parents wouldn't want to buy those things.
Once the blueprints are finalized, we'll need to start renting a place. I'll bring my older brother back this weekend, and we can start putting it into practice next week.
At this moment, the house of Hua Wanhe in Cuishan Village was shrouded in gloom. Huo Yanping had bought meat and was preparing to celebrate that evening, but when Hua Wanhe returned and talked about what had happened that day, he was all dejected.
Hua Lin was so angry that her fingernails were digging into her palms: "Why? Why is Captain Ye so nice to her? Why is the director of the Political Education Department so nice to her too? Hua Kai must have bewitched them. Did Hua Kai sleep with them? That shameless slut."
Hua Wanhe said coldly, "It's quite an achievement for you to be able to sleep with someone like that. Why can't you learn from Hua Kai and let us benefit from his kindness?"
Hua Lin was also angry: "You didn't make me as beautiful as a blooming flower, did you?"
At this moment, Zheng Shuzhen said loudly, "Alright, stop arguing. You haven't accomplished anything of importance, and all you do is blame each other."
Hua Lin was naturally unwilling to give up, and looked at Zheng Shuzhen, asking, "Grandma, do you have any other ideas?"
Zheng Shuzhen sighed: "Can't we think of a solution slowly? Alright, I'm afraid this has offended Captain Ye. Let's keep things quiet for now. I heard the survey team is leaving. We'll figure out a way to deal with Huakai after Captain Ye leaves."
At this moment, Huo Yanping was most uneasy. After thinking for a long time, she asked Hua Wanhe, "Won't Dahai be dismissed?"
