Chapter 20 I can't bow my head to others, but I can't bow it to my wife…
Ye Baoling and Gu Man'er took the subway home. After exiting the subway station, they bought two ice creams from a roadside shop and ate them as they walked.
This area is Hyde Street, with old buildings standing side by side. Walking in the slanting sunset feels like stepping back into my student days.
She enjoys these moments.
A slightly worn white sedan pulled up on the side of the street. Chen Weiqiang leaned out and said, "Cousin, Man'er, get in the car."
Man'er ran over in surprise: "Wei-zai Qiang! Where did you get this car?!"
"My boss gave it to me."
Although it was only a few hundred meters from home, the two sisters, too lazy to walk, still took a ride.
Before she even sat down in the car, Ye Baoling praised, "You're doing well! You even have a private car now. Has this been promoted?"
Chen Weiqiang was not modest: "I am reliable in my work, and our boss is generous and trusts me, so of course I have to work even harder."
Man'er laughed and said, "Wow. Don't forget us when you become successful."
Chen Weiqiang was very good at talking: "If anyone's going to get rich, it'll be my cousin first. I'll need her to look after me in the future. By the way, cousin, there's something I want to tell you."
"What's up?"
I'll tell you later.
Gu Man'er poked Chen Weiqiang's back with her finger: "Hey, what's wrong that I can't know?"
Chen Weiqiang chuckled and said, "I took my cousin's money last time to do things for her. It's a confidential work secret."
"Tsk tsk tsk, 'work secrets,' what a load of rubbish. I don't want to hear it anyway."
The three of them chatted and laughed, and the car arrived at the Gu family's door in the blink of an eye.
After Gu Man'er got out of the car, Chen Weiqiang said to Ye Baoling, "A few days ago, our boss took on a mission to track down the truck driver who hit Ye Huaizhang that day."
"Who assigned your boss this task?"
"I don't know. They were sent down from above. Maybe someone from your Ye family wants to investigate the truth."
"Then what?"
"After investigating for several days, the driver tried to escape. We caught him yesterday and tortured him all night. This morning he finally confessed to us that an Annamese man named Shui Gou gave him 50,000 rupees to stage a traffic accident and crash into Ye Huaizhang's car."
So the accident last time wasn't a traffic accident, but someone wanted to kill Ye Huaizhang?
Ye Baoling was somewhat surprised. Why would anyone want to kill Ye Huaizhang? Was it related to the South African diamond mine? The one investigating the truth was most likely someone from the third branch of the family.
She instructed, "If you find out who the water dog is, or if you have any other information, tell me."
"Okay, I'll let you know if I have any news."
Chen Weiqiang was very happy; he had finally gotten his money from Ye Baoling without any loss.
*
Ye Baoling returned to No. 3 Qingtang Street around 8 o'clock. She thought that the first seven-day ritual of the celibacy would come again, but when she returned, she found out that there was no annoying ceremony.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to her room, she took two large oranges and a plate of candy and placed them in a gift box she had deliberately arranged on the bookshelf in the dressing room. This was a secret offering to the shrine of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Ever since she discovered a secret passage leading to the second floor in the secret room, she hadn't dared to explore it alone.
Now we can only offer prayers to the Bodhisattva from afar.
Ye Baoling clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, I'm tired of apples, so I've replaced them with Sunkist oranges, guaranteed sweet. You have boundless power, please bless me to get the third Ugly King Jade as soon as possible. When I have the ability, I will definitely bring you back to the light of day."
I had just finished praying when I suddenly noticed a shadow at the doorway.
Ye Huaizhang was standing at the door of the dressing room at some point.
She complained softly, "Walking silently is going to scare people to death."
"What are you doing?"
"Did you eat the candy I left here?" Ye Baoling's greatest skill was changing the subject and turning defense into offense.
Ye Huaizhang glanced at the gift boxes on the bookshelf. He didn't think he couldn't eat the food in the room. He just said, "I'll have Ah Qun put some good food here another day. Your toffee is almost melted."
They're indiscriminately eating offerings; they really think they're some kind of bodhisattva.
Ye Baoling muttered under her breath, "You're still eating it even though it's almost melted."
"Don't worry, it won't make you sick." Ye Huaizhang thought she was concerned about him.
He took off his tie and, to show his concern, asked, "How was your first day at work?"
He asked casually, but to his surprise, Ye Baoling started to complain to him: "It's not going very well."
"What happened? Do you need my help?"
Ye Baoling thought he wanted to cancel an opportunity to help her, so she quickly reached out to stop him: "No need. At Ye Qingtang, if I need help, I can just make a phone call."
Who can't pretend?
She briefly described her experience at the company to Ye Huaizhang, and asked, "Do you think my boss will cause me trouble in the days to come?"
Ye Huaizhang never expected his wife to handle things so rationally and skillfully.
“You told her that you have a relative working in another department. She might be hesitant. I don’t think she’ll easily retaliate against you before she finds out who your relative is. But she certainly won’t give you a high position.”
"I guessed so."
Ye Huaizhang took off his shirt in front of her, revealing his undeniable muscle definition.
Ye Baoling resisted the urge to take a second look and turned to the bookshelf to get a book.
"Can you tell me why you want to work as a clerk at Ye Qingtang?" he asked.
She had already prepared an excuse: "To prove I'm not a useless person."
"Who said you're a piece of trash?"
"My dad."
Ye Huaizhang was speechless.
Then she heard the sound of a belt being unbuckled. Ye Baoling didn't turn around, but took the opportunity to ask, "How about you? Is your work going well?"
"smoothly."
Clearly, he didn't want to tell her too much about his work.
Ye Baoling casually opened a book: "This attitude won't do. If you ask me about something again next time, I won't tell you the details."
Ye Huaizhang explained, "I have too many things on my plate, and I don't know where to begin."
"Then just talk about anything, like...like..." Ye Baoling pretended not to remember what could it be, "Oh, like what? Oh, like what Fourth Uncle told you about investing in Dapeng Port in Shenzhen last time, did it go through?"
Ye Huaizhang was a very wary person, and his voice suddenly became calm: "Who told you to ask me about this?"
She was indeed inquiring, but she couldn't admit it.
"What do you mean?" Ye Baoling's tone became serious. She turned around and found that he had already changed into his sportswear.
Ye Huaizhang: "Don't inquire about these kinds of trade secrets in the future."
Ye Baoling raised her voice: "Who asked?! What kind of trade secret is this? Your fourth uncle brought it up himself at the dinner table, and you answered him openly. Why didn't you refute him then that you can't talk about trade secrets in public? You can say it at your dinner table, but you can't mention it in front of me? You mean I shouldn't even have the right to listen in? You just didn't expect that I was there at the time, didn't you?"
She spoke very quickly and logically, leaving Ye Huaizhang speechless.
Ye Baoling grew angrier as she spoke. "I know nothing about what you did. I just overheard it at the dinner table and asked casually, and you put on airs! You acted all high and mighty, telling me to stop asking around. Fine, I'll leave now. I'm going back to my grandma's house. Who wants to share a room with someone like you?"
She wouldn't give up until she got the secret out of him today.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Ye Huaizhang, who had just been rebuffed by his grandmother, dared not offend his wife at this moment.
A wise man knows when to yield. He wouldn't bow down to others, but he could barely manage to bow down to his wife. He immediately surrendered: "I was wrong."
Ye Baoling stopped in her tracks, turned around, and stood right in front of him.
"What's wrong with it?"
"I shouldn't question you so casually."
"You're not allowed to talk to me in that condescending tone anymore." Ye Baoling was scolding the dog, but her tone was completely different. She was speaking in a tone that was both persuasive and coquettish, but in reality, she was completely beyond reproach.
But in his eyes, it was just her being affectionate with him.
When his attempt to use PUA failed, Ye Huaizhang, who was instead being used by PUA, wisely said, "I'll change."
"And then what? Can I hear your so-called trade secrets?"
"Of course," Ye Huaizhang replied seriously. It wasn't really a big secret. He said, "I've successfully convinced my dad, my fourth uncle, and other shareholders to invest in Dapeng Port, but now it's stuck with my grandma. She doesn't agree."
I didn't expect him to be so efficient; he got those people in the company under control so quickly.
She asked, "Do you need my help?"
Without even thinking, he said, "No need."
Ye Baoling: "I can help you persuade Grandma, but in your eyes, I'm just an outsider who doesn't even have the right to listen in. I can't do this for nothing; I want something in return."
Looking at his wife, Ye Huaizhang suddenly felt, for some reason, that she might actually be able to persuade his grandmother.
What kind of reward do you want?
Ye Baoling thought for a moment: "Money. Give me money."
"I'll give you 100,000 after it's done."
100,000 is quite a lot.
Ye Baoling, who just received 5 million from Old Madam Guan last week, has already had her appetite whetted.
She looked down on the HK$100,000.
"You're treating me like a beggar!" She never expected that the eldest son of the richest family and the general manager of the investment department of a large company would be so stingy.
100,000 is not enough?
Ye Huaizhang looked at the girl who had been dismissive of money when they negotiated terms last time and couldn't understand how women could change so quickly.
He asked, "What do you need so much money for?"
"What do you need money for? Young master, can you please not ask such philosophical questions?" She didn't call him naive or say he was out of touch with reality, but instead mocked his philosophical thinking. The effect was achieved, and he wouldn't get angry.
Ye Baoling continued, "Then should I ask you, why do you breathe? Why do you eat? Why do you drive when you can walk to Rome? Why take a plane when you can walk there?"
Her logic was impeccable, and her words carried a hint of sarcasm, leaving no room for argument.
Ye Huaizhang was indeed completely appeased. "Legally speaking, all the money I earn in the future will be marital property, and you will have a share in it."
"Stop. Don't give me empty promises, I want something real."
How much do you want?
"1 million."
"Quite an appetite."
"Just tell me if it's okay or not?"
A multi-billion dollar investment and a public relations fee of 1 million yuan is really not much at all.
Ye Huaizhang nodded helplessly: "Okay. If you successfully persuade my grandmother, I'll give you a check for 1 million. But I have a time limit; it has to be done within a month."
Within a month? That means there's no rush.
Ye Baoling smiled and agreed, "Deal."
"Money-grubber," Ye Huaizhang muttered before heading out to the gym.
Ye Baoling skipped her boxing practice tonight and instead went to chat with Old Madam Guan.
At this time, the old lady was listening to a Cantonese opera on the radio. Nowadays, most young people don't like Cantonese opera, so it's rare that Ye Baoling likes it. She even promised to accompany Grandma Guan to the theater to see her idol's performance another day.
Making people happy is Ye Baoling's specialty; if she's willing, she's almost guaranteed to succeed.
Grandma Guan was delighted to see her, and the two chatted and ate snacks while listening to the opera, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
The wall clock struck ten. The old lady was not confused. She quickly urged Ye Baoling to go back to her room to rest. She remembered that today was the first seven days after they had married.
It's okay to come home late on weekdays, but on this day you can't be back in your room later than 12 o'clock.
Back in the bedroom, Yang Pinxian was already waiting for him.
Yang Pinxian brought them a second cup of Heqin wine and watched them drink it.
After finishing her drink, Ye Baoling asked curiously, "Is this the same wine as last time?"
"Same. It all came from the same bottle, so what?"
"It seems to be quite spicy in the throat this time. Isn't it?" Ye Baoling asked Ye Huaizhang.
Ye Huaizhang's reply was perfunctory: "More or less."
Ye Baoling was speechless: "What do you mean by 'almost'? Are you Mr. Almost? Is it 'yes' or 'no'?"
Yang Pinxian was afraid that Ye Baoling would anger her son, who had a bad temper, so she tried to ease the tension. But her son actually replied honestly, "It's spicier in the throat than last time."
Is this still her son?
Indeed, a man still needs a woman who can keep him in check.
Yang Pinxian suppressed a laugh, "I'll call and ask Granny Tong what happened. You all have to go to work tomorrow, so you should get some rest."
Ye Baoling waved obediently, "Goodnight, Mom."
"Good night." Yang Pinxian couldn't help but smile.
Ye Baoling closed the door and went to take a shower. Only after taking off her clothes did she realize that she had started her period.
I got my first period after entering the script.
Because she didn't know the original owner's menstrual cycle, she had prepared a pack of sanitary napkins in her bag beforehand.
After showering, she quickly changed. Not knowing how heavy the original owner's flow was, she wore two pairs of underwear and laid a small blanket on the bed to prevent it from getting on the mattress.
As a result, the amount was small, but it was painful.
She was awakened by pain in the middle of the night, so painful that her hands and feet curled up and she almost had a spasm.
Hearing the noise, Ye Huaizhang turned on the light and saw that her face was pale and she looked like she was in pain. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Stomachache."
"appendicitis?"
"I have menstrual cramps. Go to the pharmacy and buy me some painkillers."
Ye Huaizhang realized, "There should be painkillers at home."
He quickly put on his slippers and went to call someone to get the medicine.
Not long after, he came in with a bottle of medicine and a glass of warm water.
"Take one." He poured the pill out and placed it in her hand.
Ye Baoling swallowed it in one gulp, then curled up in the blanket. The medicine didn't take effect quickly, and she was still in pain.
Seeing her trembling, Ye Huaizhang gently patted her back, and only then did he realize how terrible menstrual cramps could be for women.
"Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
"No need. Give me... a tissue."
He took a tissue and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. He noticed that she was curled up like a docile kitten.
Of course, he knew that a cat's docility was only temporary.
In crucial moments, their bared teeth are sharper than anyone else's.
But I couldn't help but take a few more glances. My hand, which was about to stroke your hair, stopped in mid-air and eventually withdrew.
Gradually, she seemed to relax a lot.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Hmm. Much better." After a while, the painkillers took effect.
I never realized how fortunate I am when I'm healthy and free from pain.
Ye Baoling changed her position, turning her back to Ye Huaizhang and lying on her side.
I never suffered from menstrual cramps in my previous life; this is the first time I've experienced it.
I must keep exercising with Chen Yulan from now on; she doesn't want to be tortured every month.
When she woke up in the morning, her abdomen still hurt a little occasionally, but it was much better than last night. Ye Huaizhang asked her if she wanted to take a day off.
Taking leave on the second day of work isn't a good idea, so Ye Baoling shook her head: "I'll bring painkillers with me. I'll take one if it really hurts."
Ye Baoling arrived at the office at exactly nine o'clock and found herself to be the first one there.
Around 9:30, my colleagues gradually arrived.
Seeing that Ye Baoling seemed a little embarrassed, Sister Mei brought a bag of jelly to share with everyone, and specially picked out two large ones to put on Ye Baoling's table, saying, "Ah Lin, have some jelly."
Ye Baoling gave a polite smile: "Thank you, Sister Mei."
This opening was a little better than Ye Baoling had imagined; at least Sister Mei was still a normal person.
But yesterday, Sister Mei betrayed her for personal gain, and Ye Baoling didn't retaliate fiercely; that was already showing mercy to an ant.
This kind of person can only be a superficial colleague.
"Are you feeling unwell? You don't look well."
Ye Baoling said softly, "I've started my period."
"Ah, drink more warm water."
Wang Simin, who went upstairs to get some documents, quietly gossiped with everyone: "I heard that Manager Qian was laid off and may even have to pay compensation. Manager Qi didn't protect him."
Everyone tacitly avoided looking at Ye Baoling. Someone sighed, "I knew something bad was going to happen sooner or later when she donated her nearly-finished goods to the welfare home last time."
"If you walk the night road often, you're bound to see a ghost."
"It's his turn."
In the morning, Ye Baoling helped organize the documents. Since she could type, the office clerk who was in charge of typing and photocopying preferred to run up and down the stairs to deliver items and documents, so the typing work fell to her.
Their department doesn't have any confidential documents, but they can find out about all the big and small things that have happened in the company recently in the fastest way.
They deal with various departments daily, and if there's any disturbance upstairs, someone will quickly come back to the office to check on things.
Just like this morning, my colleague A Guang took a technician upstairs to fix a computer and immediately shared with everyone: "It seems like the company's IPO is settled, and we can all apply to participate in the lottery to buy shares."
A colleague was getting excited: "How much is one share? Is it a sure thing to make money if I buy it?"
"I don't know how much it costs per share. But new shares seem to be quite profitable? I heard from them that you can definitely make money."
Sister Mei turned to Liu Haonan and asked, "Anan, didn't you used to work at a securities company? You must know the most about this, so tell us about it."
Ye Baoling immediately turned around and looked at Liu Haonan.
Sure enough, he was the male protagonist's distant cousin in the book, a stock market expert.
Liu Haonan was cutting out documents without looking up, and said, "New stocks usually rise by more than 20%, and if they perform well, you can double your money."
Wow! Doubled?!
"No matter what, we have to apply for the lottery. I wonder if there are any discounts for employees?"
A-Guang urged Wang Simin, "Try to find a chance to sound out Manager Qi about whether there are any discounts for internal employees buying Ye Qingtang's stock? Or is there a way to buy it directly without a lottery?"
Liu Haonan was unusually enthusiastic: "No need to ask. Even if there are pre-IPO shares, it won't be available to us small fry. If you want to make money, remember to get the forms and fill them out when the time comes. If you don't have an account, you can contact me. I have connections to help you open an account, and there will be discounts on the handling fees. If you want to participate in IPOs, you must open an account in advance and accumulate some transactions to be eligible to buy new shares."
The company's stock won't be listed in the next few days, so no one was in a hurry and just gave a nod.
Only Ye Baoling, who wanted to get closer to Liu Haonan, was interested. She asked, "Brother Nan, which securities company is it? I want to open a securities account."
"Lihua Securities. Do you want to open an account?"
Ye Baoling replied without hesitation, "I'm willing to do it. But could you help me negotiate a lower commission rate?"
Opening an additional securities account wouldn't do her any harm.
Moreover, this opportunity can be used to win over Liu Haonan and make him work for us.
Liu Haonan put down the newspaper clipping: "When others talk to small clients, the lowest price is 1,500, but when I talk to small clients, I can negotiate down to 1,300."
0.3% means a commission of 3 yuan for every 1,000 yuan traded.
This commission is much higher than in later generations!
Ye Baoling only found out how high the commission was when she opened an account at the securities department of Parkway Bank last week.
"What about the major clients?"
"We can negotiate a discount of one-thousandth for major clients."
What is a major client?
"Bank deposits of over one million."
Ye Baoling lowered her voice: "Then you help me talk to Qianyi."
Liu Haonan was stunned for a moment. Had he met a big client today?
The young woman is quite pretty, but if she were truly wealthy, she wouldn't be working as a junior employee in this department, much less be nearly squeezed out by Manager Qi right away.
But then I thought about it again, and in the end, Manager Qi gave up Supervisor Qian for her sake.
This girl might really have a powerful background.
Liu Haonan asked her to confirm, "You're not kidding me, are you?"
"I'm not kidding."
Liu Haonan is a cautious and meticulous person: "When opening an account, you should bring a deposit slip that can prove that you have sufficient funds in your bank account."
"no problem."
Ye Baoling still has the five million given to her by Old Madam Guan that she hasn't touched.
She wanted to make enough money during the frenzy before the stock market crash to buy at the bottom.
I can't do it alone, Liu Haonan is definitely a great helper.
Seeing how serious the other party was, Liu Haonan asked, "When do you have time to open an account?"
Ye Baoling wasn't feeling well today and really didn't want to move, plus she didn't have her deposit slip with her. She said, "Let's do it tomorrow at noon. I'll invite my friend along."
Liu Haonan gave her an "OK" sign.
Ye Baoling cautioned, "Don't tell anyone."
"I won't." Liu Haonan is not usually a talkative person.
The other people in the office were still loudly discussing whether to buy and how much of Ye Qingtang's new shares to buy, and no one paid any attention to the two of them chatting.
When it was lunch break time, Sister Mei asked her if she wanted to go have lunch together.
Ye Baoling politely declined, saying, "I have lunch with my cousins at noon. Let's make an appointment another day."
"Your cousins?"
"They all work in the legal department."
It turns out Ye Baoling really does have powerful backers.
Just then, Gu Man'er appeared at the door, smiling and calling out to her, "Cousin, let's go."
Gu Man'er walked over and, seeing her pale face, immediately understood. She asked softly, "Your mother is here?"
"Yeah. It hurt so much last night."
My cousin always suffers terribly from menstrual cramps on the first day, and Gu Man'er understands perfectly. "How about I cancel my senior's appointment and treat him to dinner another day?"
Gu Man'er's senior brother became Ye Baoling's nominal backer, and he had promised to treat her to a meal, so it wouldn't be appropriate to break his promise.
"I took painkillers and I feel much better now."
Ye Baoling got up and walked out with Gu Man'er.
Gu Man'er whispered in her ear, "Why don't you just consummate the marriage as soon as possible? Didn't they say that the pain would stop after consummating the marriage?"
Ye Baoling didn't believe it: "College student, is this scientific?"
"No science is needed. Grandma said she used to be like that, but it got better after she got married. Auntie is the same. You can ask Grandma if you don't believe me. It's hereditary, passed down from woman to woman, generation after generation. Anyway, your brother-in-law is so handsome, you won't lose out when you consummate the marriage."
Ye Baoling complained: "What's the use of being handsome if you're stingy and a real miser?"
"Ha. What did he do to you?"
"He asked me to do something for him, offering only 100,000 yuan as payment."
"What did he ask you to do?"
"Help him say a good word to his grandmother." Ye Baoling didn't elaborate.
"You still think this is stingy? Ye Baoling, don't be too greedy." Gu Man'er poked her cousin's arm. "100,000! If you say something nice, it's more than two years' salary for me. And you still complain about him being a miser! Be careful your brother-in-law sees through your true colors and wants to divorce you."
"He begged me to take the money; he was practically kneeling down."
"Ye Baoling, you're getting better and better at making me angry."
Ye Baoling patted Man'er's head, "Be good, and I'll give you money to spend."
"Woof! Awoof..."
Ye Baoling almost burst out laughing when she knelt down so quickly.
But she can't laugh, or a flash flood will break out somewhere.
*
The next day at noon, Ye Baoling, along with Chen Yulan and Liu Haonan, went to Lihua Securities to open a new account.
When Liu Haonan saw the five million yuan deposit on her bank statement, his eyes nearly popped out of his head in shock.
Then look at her ID card, her name is Ye Baoling...
After completing the formalities, Liu Haonan secretly asked, "Ah Lin, may I ask what your family does?"
That's hard to say.
Ye Baoling then asked Chen Yulan, "What does your family do?"
Chen Yulan raised an eyebrow slightly: "My brother works in the gang."
Oh! Gang-related black market activities.
Liu Haonan still had doubts, but he just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Ye Baoling: "But I don't know anything about stock trading. I opened an account but I don't know how to operate it."
Liu Haonan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ye Baoling. "It's very simple, I can teach you."
"I'm not very smart, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it. Brother Nan, can you help me with it?"
"It's not impossible," Liu Haonan explained the rules in detail. "I have a securities broker's license and am qualified to trade. If I trade for you and you lose money, I won't be responsible, but if you make money, I will charge a fee. Can you accept that?"
How much does it cost?
"3% of the profit, if I earn 100 yuan, I'll give you 3 yuan."
In terms of profit, it's not high.
Ye Baoling readily agreed: "No problem, you'll manage the operations for us."
Liu Haonan: "Aren't you going to discuss this with your family?"
“We’re family.” Ye Baoling took Chen Yulan’s hand.
Chen Yulan chimed in, "My cousin makes the decisions in my family."
Liu Haonan looked them over as if they were free gifts that had fallen from the sky.
"Alright, there's no time today. Let's sign an agreement sometime."
Ye Baoling and Liu Haonan rushed back to the company, but they were still late. Unfortunately, they ran into their manager, Qi Yuxiu, in the elevator.
Qi Yuxiu glanced at them, then looked at her watch. "One twenty, twenty minutes late."
Fortunately, they were prepared.
Liu Haonan tossed the notebook in his hand. "We just finished checking last month's overtime and gas expenses with the team."
Qi Yuxiu took Liu Haonan's notebook, opened it and looked at it carefully. The accounts were very detailed and there was nothing wrong with them.
She didn't say anything more, lest people say she was deliberately targeting Ye Baoling.
She handed the notebook back to Liu Haonan, and when the elevator reached the fourth floor, Qi Yuxiu went out first.
Two days later, Ye Baoling and Liu Haonan signed a commission agreement, and Liu Haonan officially began managing her accounts.
On the same day, Liu Haonan made the decision to place an order for HKD 1 million worth of HK Electric.
Ye Baoling didn't let him buy the guaranteed profit Su Man gold directly; she wanted to see Liu Haonan's capabilities first.
Friday was her grandfather's birthday. A party was held at home in the evening, and the eldest son's family had a meal together at noon.
Ye Baoling took a day off for this.
In the morning, she changed her clothes into a light green long dress, without wearing any jewelry, and her handbag was the old model that the original owner used.
Before Ye Huaizhang went to work, she told him, "Grandma and I have discussed it. You should try to stay in the back garden in the evening. I will go to the back garden less often to reduce the chance of us running into each other. My fourth uncle's two children will go to wish my grandfather a happy birthday after school, so they won't be going to the dinner banquet."
Ye Huaizhang turned to her and asked, "Is Lü Tianyou coming too?"
"Come on. He's my grandfather's chosen future grandson-in-law, how could he not come?" Ye Baoling applied lipstick, turned around and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"fine."
