Chapter 133 Young and Promising
At noon, Ye Qian felt a little unwell, so she did not go to eat with everyone.
Ye Qian lay on the table in the office alone for a while, but still felt a little uncomfortable, so she wanted to find a place where no one was around and take a nap in her space.
Ye Qian had just stood up and was about to go out when she heard footsteps outside. Before the door opened, she heard two familiar voices.
The man said, "Bureau." The other man immediately stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute." As soon as the voice fell, Ye Qian felt a sound of footsteps getting closer, and then the office door opened.
When Ye Qian heard the footsteps approaching, she immediately dodged and hid behind the door. Then the door was pushed open. When the man was about to go out after taking a look at the door, another person came in and checked it carefully. Ye Qian had already hidden in the space when that person came in.
Ye Qian hid in the space and patted her chest with her hands. She was almost discovered, but this was really annoying. She wanted to hide behind the door to listen to what they said, but in the end she still hid in the space. She couldn't hear any sound from outside in her own space.
She stomped her feet angrily. Although she didn't hear what they said, she could see clearly what the two of them, the director and President Wang, were doing secretly. Ye Qian felt that it must be something bad, otherwise there would be no need to be so sneaky.
After get off work, she told Gu Jinyan about this matter directly. After listening to Ye Qian's words, Gu Jinyan seemed to be thinking about something.
In fact, Gu Jinyan has been following the grain reselling incident for a long time, and some relevant personnel have naturally been investigated. The director, President Wang and the two people from yesterday are all the main culprits of grain reselling. One of the two people from yesterday was the director's secretary, and the other was the head of the purchasing department.
The position of director definitely does not have only one secretary. Generally, when working in the bureau or the city, the director always has a female secretary, but if he needs to be sent out for work or on a business trip, he will bring another male secretary. Ye Qian usually does not care about other people's affairs, so naturally she doesn't know about it.
These people had shown some signs of activity three years ago. At first, they only resold a small amount of grain and did not attract much attention. But later, they became bolder and their numbers increased. More than a year ago, after Gu Jinyan reported the matter to the higher-ups, they thought about it and decided to appoint him as an investigator to look into the matter. In addition, they transferred another person to facilitate contact with him, and that person was Li Manyu.
Some time ago, because the black market was closed, they had no chance to resell grain. Now that the black market has reopened, those people's minds have become active again.
It seems that I have to seize this opportunity. If I miss it this time, I don’t know when I will have the next chance.
A few days later, in the cafeteria.
Ye Qian heard some people talking about a large amount of food on the black market, so she told everyone to go to the black market and buy some food to stock up if they had nothing to do recently.
There is only a little supply every month, and a family of several people can barely avoid starvation by eating frugally. But there is still a big difference between not starving to death and having enough to eat. Now that there is a chance to buy food, it is natural to take the risk and try it.
When Ye Qian heard the news, she went to the black market after get off work to explore the way. Ye Qian had been to the black market often before and was familiar with the road, so she found the place quickly.
After Ye Qian went in and looked around, she found that many people had indeed become active, but they were not selling things on the ground like they had done when she came here before. Instead, everyone was walking around cautiously, just like in an ordinary black market, looking to see who had supplies.
Ye Qian took a look at the situation and left. When she returned home, Gu Jinyan had already returned. Ye Qian handed the dish in her hand to Gu Jinyan: "Here."
Gu Jinyan asked, "Why is it late today? Are you working overtime?"
Ye Qian replied: "No, I just heard that the black market has opened recently and a large amount of food will be shipped in, so I went to take a look."
When Gu Jinyan heard that Ye Qian went to the black market, he said with a dark face, "It's very dangerous over there. What if you get caught? You're not allowed to go there anymore."
Ye Qian smiled, wondering how she could be caught if she had her own space, but she still agreed: "Okay, I won't go."
After that, the two of them went to clean up dinner.
The next day, lunch in the cafeteria.
Ye Qian and Li Manyu finished their meal and walked over to the empty seat in front of Li Yue with their lunch boxes. Li Yue was chatting with her sister-in-law at the same table. That sister-in-law was her colleague from the logistics department, named Han Damei. When Han Damei saw Ye Qian sitting down, she said, "Ye Qian, you're not young anymore. Let me introduce you to someone."
Ye Qian wanted to roll her eyes in her heart. Who is not young? I am only 17 years old.
Ye Qian was unhappy, but she refused with a smile: "I have a partner, no need for introduction."
Han Damei was a little surprised to hear that Ye Qian already had a partner: "You already have a partner at such a young age."
Ye Qian almost wanted to laugh when she heard this: "Didn't you just say that I'm old and you should introduce me to someone? How come I'm young now that I have a partner?"
Han Damei planned to introduce her nephew to Ye Qian, who was about the same age as her. She had read the novels written by Ye Qian and had also inquired about it. She knew that the novel would make a lot of money and she had even bought a house for herself to live in. However, her nephew's family was not well off, so she came up with this idea.
Now, after hearing Ye Qian's words, he felt a little embarrassed: "No, I just said that. Who are you looking for? It would be great if you could have my nephew. My nephew has graduated from high school."
But I didn’t say that I had no job.
Ye Qian nodded: "Indeed, he is better than your nephew. He graduated from university and has a stable job. His job is also quite good."
When Han Damei heard that her boyfriend was better than her nephew, she disagreed: "He must be very old. How old are you? Is it appropriate to find someone that old?"
What does Han Damei mean? Why does she keep mentioning the older man? She is older, and it's not like she is being kept by someone. People around her also had some wrong ideas after hearing what Han Damei said.
Ye Qian was a little angry: "What do you mean by old? He is very young, and a high salary does not mean he is old. It's not okay for him to be young and promising."
Han Damei had already made up her mind to introduce Ye Qian to her nephew. When Ye Qian did this, she was a little unhappy: "What do you mean by young and promising? I don't understand what you are talking about. Those high salaries are not earned slowly. High salaries naturally mean old age, but how old are you?"
What Han Damei meant was that she must have found an older man, but that's indeed the case with people nowadays. Most people calculate based on length of service, but Gu Jinyan is not most people.
Ye Qian's temper flared up, she slammed the table and shouted, "What do you mean? I just don't agree to be with your nephew, why do you say that and make everyone misunderstand me?"
