Chapter 112: Driving People Away
Seeing that Zheng Jiaojiao was about to say something, Yan Ye's face turned cold, "My friend doesn't know about this, and I don't want her to know."
Yan Shuli tugged at the woman's sleeve and whispered, "Stop talking."
It would be better if other people didn't know about this. If they tear off this fig leaf, it would be like telling the world that the Yan family took credit for other people's work.
Besides, his uncle's face looked worried, which inexplicably reminded Yan Shuli of the years when he was sanctioned by his uncle.
But if Zheng Jiaojiao knew how to read people's faces and act accordingly, she wouldn't be called Zheng Jiaojiao anymore. She didn't take Yan Shuli's words to heart at all, and continued to sob pitifully say: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong."
As she spoke, she reached out to pull at the corner of Yan Ye's clothes.
The veins on Yan Ye's forehead were throbbing wildly. He took two steps back to avoid her hand, and his tone was very unhappy, "You use your hands to wipe tears and snot, so stop touching my clothes."
After she finished speaking, Zheng Jiaojiao's hand stretched in the air did not move up or down, her face stiff.
Xu Xiaoyue watched the entire farce from the sidelines, her cheeks turning blue from holding her breath.
If Yan Ye were to be put in later generations, he would probably be what everyone calls a straight man, with full offensive power as soon as he opens his mouth.
Zheng Jiaojiao was indeed frozen at this moment. She always started crying whenever she did something wrong. This trick was very effective whether she used it on Yan Shuli or her previous colleagues in the state-owned supermarket.
Even when she first came to the Yan family, she pretended to be so pitiful that Liu Ye would naturally accept her.
Yan Ye walked inside, and did not forget to look up at Xu Xiaoyue who was watching the show on the side.
The gloating in the girl's eyes was about to overflow, and she almost took a handful of melon seeds to eat while watching.
The already round almond eyes are about to turn into peach blossom eyes when smiling, and paired with the oval face, they look even more comical.
While no one was watching, the man turned around and pinched the white and tender little hand in an unpleasant manner, and got a glare from Xu Xiaoyue as he wished.
Xu Xiaoyue was about to kneel down to this man. In front of so many people, he actually dared to pinch her hand. The key point was that she didn't dare to move too much and just let him take advantage of her.
This is simply, committing a crime against the wind!
Yan Ye stroked his fingers, savoring the warm and delicate touch carefully.
To be honest, he did have a good impression of Xu's mother. At least just looking at Xu Xiaoyue's hands, he could tell that she had never suffered from any hardship, as there was not even a tiny callus on them.
Suppressing the wanton thoughts in his mind, the man walked in as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, no one else noticed this scene.
Liu Ye pressed her forehead and said to stop the farce: "Stop arguing."
She was almost admitting defeat at Zheng Jiaojiao's stupidity. Was she afraid that the news of her replacing someone else and winning the banner would spread widely?
Yan Ye had already said that the other party was not aware of the matter, but he still rushed to apologize to them.
After Liu Ye's words, Zheng Jiaojiao stopped crying, but she felt even more aggrieved in her heart. She did take someone else's banner, but she also apologized.
It's just a banner. She's crying so hard and knows she's wrong, but you still want to make things difficult for her.
The dinner table was particularly quiet today, and everyone was eating their meals in silence.
Yan Jianguo looked at Liu Ye beside him and asked, and the woman's face looked very ugly.
When they were almost done eating, Liu Ye put down her chopsticks and said, "Everyone is here today, let me talk about something."
Xu Xiaoyue put down her chopsticks. Zheng Jiaojiao's eyelids twitched. She had been crying for the whole afternoon and now she felt that she could hardly open her eyes.
"Aunt, I'm not feeling well. I want to go upstairs and rest."
Zheng Jiaojiao's intuition told her that what Liu Ye was going to say next was about her, and it was not good news.
"Jiaojiao, it's okay to be late for two minutes. Just listen to me and finish what I have to say."
The colder Liu Ye's expression became, the more Zheng Jiaojiao's heart beat fast. She didn't even notice that her face had become a little paler.
Liu Ye didn't keep anyone in suspense and got straight to the point, "Jiaojiao, the Chinese New Year is only a few months away."
"Originally, your uncle Yan and I planned for you to find a job here or continue studying to get into high school, but after spending a few months with you, you may still be a little uncomfortable with life here."
"I have sent a telegram to communicate with your mother. You can stay for another two months and your aunt will buy you a train ticket when the Chinese New Year is approaching..."
"aunt!"
Before Liu Ye could finish her words, Zheng Jiaojiao interrupted her as if she couldn't bear to listen any more.
"You were the one who asked me to come up here in the first place. Now you want me to go back. What will the people in the village think of me?"
Zheng Jiaojiao was really panicked this time. She wasn't this panicked even when Liu Ye asked her to move out before.
Because she knew that if she moved out, she still had room to make Liu Ye soften her heart. As long as she acted pitiful, Liu Ye would not ignore her.
But Zheng Jiaojiao never dreamed that Liu Ye would directly inform her parents this time. She knew her parents' character well and was most afraid of troubling others. Even when she was about to come to the capital, she had given them many warnings.
Liu Ye frowned after hearing what Zheng Jiaojiao said, "You mean, I was wrong to ask you to come up before?"
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Yan Shuli quickly stepped out to smooth things over and said, "No, Mom, Jiaojiao didn't mean that."
"Yan Shuli, shut up." Liu Ye scolded without giving him any face.
"Aunt, that's not what I meant. I'm very grateful to you for letting me come up here. I've been studying and working every day since I came here. Everything is fine now. Why do you suddenly want me to go back?"
"It was really too sudden."
Zheng Jiaojiao wiped her tears and sobbed. She was used to crying and now the people around her were numb.
"Yes, I brought you up here because I thought you were a girl and wanted to take you out to see the world."
"Second, your mother is also a distant relative of mine, and it's hard to refuse her request for help."
Now that things had come to this, Liu Ye no longer cared about anything and simply confessed.
"My original intention was good, but look at what you did. You cut your wrists and stole someone else's banner. And the job you mentioned, Manager Yan came to the Yan family while you were in the hospital and made it clear that you didn't have to go to work."
"You've been absent from work for too long and you didn't get the order from the art troupe. The supermarket has decided to promote you internally."
With every word Liu Ye said, Zheng Jiaojiao's face turned paler. "Impossible! I'm going to be a regular employee soon. How could the factory promote me?"
"You are still an intern after all, and you have been on sick leave for such a long time. It is normal for the factory to hold a meeting and make the decision."
Liu Ye didn't know whether to laugh at her naivety or stupidity. Interns already have a lot to do, not to mention asking for sick leave at this critical juncture when she is about to be promoted.
The economic performance has been poor in recent years, and large-scale layoffs in some factories are common. Even if Zheng Jiaojiao has no background and takes leave every day, taking up the quota but not doing any work, even if the leaders don't know about her, can her colleagues tolerate it?
The work tasks are the same, and if she takes a leave, the tasks will fall on someone else's shoulders.
After a long time, no one could stand it anymore.
