Chapter 1624 Don't Think of Your Sister-in-Law as So Merciful
In his past life, Li Ye once watched a movie starring Schwarzenegger, in which a conman almost tricked Schwarzenegger's wife into a trap using the trick of "national secrets".
The conman's trick didn't seem very sophisticated; he just used a map of the Middle East and a set of smooth-talking words to fool Schwarzenegger's wife.
The reason for this is that women's desire for and worship of heroism has clouded their judgment.
So when Li Juan said that her online boyfriend worked in a "state secret" department, and that the two of them happened to meet in real life, Li Ye really had the "desire to kill".
[You liar deserve to be torn to pieces. Even if a harmonious society saves you, if you can't be torn to pieces, at least break your leg.]
Li Juan noticed the coldness on Li Ye's face.
She asked, puzzled, "Brother, don't you think it's inappropriate?"
Li Ye said calmly, "It's nothing. Do you have his contact information? What do you mean by inviting him out so I can see if we click?"
"Oh, he'll probably be coming to the mobile company tomorrow with his boss to discuss some research details. I'll ask him then."
"Um?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, as if something was wrong.
He immediately asked Li Juan, "Didn't you say his workplace was confidential? Why did he go to your company to discuss the details?"
"Yes!"
Li Juan said strangely, "Just a few months ago, we collaborated with their organization on a communications project related to satellite navigation. I only knew they were a national research institution, but I haven't had the nerve to ask where their office is located."
"Satellite navigation?"
Li Ye let out a long sigh of relief, and the murderous intent in his heart instantly dissipated.
He knew about this project because he was the one who spearheaded it.
In September, Bu Qingjun and Ni Dashen approached Li Ye to discuss the navigation project. Li Ye then proposed that Fengyu Electronics join the collaboration, but since Fengyu Electronics is a private company, it was ultimately agreed that the involvement would be handled by China Mobile.
If that kid was with Bu Qingjun, then he definitely wouldn't be the blond guy.
Li Ye sighed and asked, "Xiao Juan, you two just happened to meet in real life, that is, when your two organizations were in contact?"
"Yeah, bro, isn't that a coincidence? But then I realized, people who discuss communication technology on tech forums are most likely insiders; the circle they've been in isn't that big."
"Oh right, you're right, what's that kid's name?"
Li Juan hesitated for a moment, then answered honestly, "His name is Cao Jianqing, Cao as in Cao Cao, Jian as in swords and knives, and Qing as in my love for you."
"Ugh, they're already all lovey-dovey."
Li Ye immediately picked up his phone and dialed Bu Qingjun's number.
"Hey, Brother Bu, are you busy? I want to ask you about someone. Is Cao Jianqing one of your men?"
"Xiao Cao? He's one of ours? How do you know about him?"
"Never mind how I know him, I have a question for you, does that guy have a girlfriend?"
"Well, I'll have to ask for you, but why are you asking?"
"Please ask for me in five minutes, then I'll call you back. Hurry up!"
Li Juan listened to Li Ye on the phone and hurriedly tugged at Li Ye's sleeve, her face turning bright red.
Li Ye glanced at her sideways, feigning annoyance, and asked, "What? This isn't even a done deal yet! And you're already protecting her? What's wrong with me asking around?"
Li Juan was extremely anxious: "No, brother, we haven't even made it clear yet!"
Li Ye squinted and said disdainfully, "We've known each other for almost half a year and still haven't made things clear. When will you two blockheads ever make things clear? You'll have to rely on your older brother, me, to do it."
"Me, me."
Li Juan stammered, truly unsure of what to say; she was really bad at this kind of thing.
Five minutes later, Bu Qingjun called back: "Brother Li Ye, I asked around for you. Xiao Cao is dating someone now, she works for China Mobile, her name is Li Juan."
The girl seems rather shy, and Xiao Cao isn't one to flirt, so they haven't made their relationship public yet. These past few days, Xiao Cao has been discussing it with his family, hoping I could be the matchmaker."
"Oh, alright then, Lao Bu, tell me about Cao Jianqing's family situation first!"
Bu Qingjun then realized what was going on: "It's not Li Ye, that Li Juan also has the surname Li. Is she related to you?"
"She's my sister! I have to help her vet the job. Since that Xiao Cao was able to get into your company, his background must be clean."
"He's definitely innocent! Our company is going to investigate his family history for three generations."
Bu Qingjun's voice rose eight octaves as she excitedly said, "Not only is Xiao Cao clean-cut, but he is also excellent in both character and academics. He is a key technical member of our project, and most importantly, he has a heart dedicated to serving his country."
"Okay, then find some time in the next couple of days to bring that little Cao out for a drink!"
"Alright, alright, this time we absolutely have to drink until we drop! Hahaha~"
“.”
Li Ye hung up the phone and then jokingly said to Li Juan, "Look, some of the things you're too embarrassed to say, someone else is saying them for you, isn't that?"
Therefore, matchmaking and free love are not contradictory. There's nothing wrong with free love for outgoing people, but for a quiet person like you, traditional matchmaking is necessary.
A mist welled up in Li Juan's eyes, and she felt that she would have to trouble Li Ye for everything in her life.
After a while, Li Juan suddenly asked, "Will my sister-in-law be angry?"
Li Juan was afraid of Wen Leyu's anger because Wen Leyu had introduced her to several young men in the past two years, but Li Juan didn't like any of them. This made Wu Juying very dissatisfied, and she would often scold her older sister Li Yue, saying that she had corrupted the family's values.
But now Li Yue has also developed a bad temper, and she always argues back immediately, saying that after picking and choosing, she still ended up picking the fattest one. The two of them argue fiercely, which can be considered as diverting most of Li Juan's pressure.
Li Ye asked curiously, "Why is she angry? She's probably overjoyed! Don't think of your sister-in-law as so materialistic. When she chose me, she didn't look down on me for being a peasant, did she?"
"Brother, you're not some peasant! You're a reincarnation of the God of Literature! Even President Pan said that meeting you is the greatest luck of her life."
When Wen Leyu and Li Ye got together, many people didn't consider it a "well-matched marriage." Even after Wen Leyu returned to Beijing, many people instigated her to dump Li Ye.
But Wen Leyu and Li Ye were the kind of people who hit it off. The more others tried to stir things up, the more inseparable they became, and in the end, they proved everyone wrong with their actions.
