"Who are you? I don't know you. Please let go of my hand..."
"Ah...Brother, you bully me..."
Ye Chengxuan covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She didn't expect that the Seventh Brother looked very serious and old-fashioned, but he was so funny when interacting with the Twelfth Sister in private!
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "You are still young. When you are older, your sister-in-law will naturally give you these things. At least you have to wait until you start working. Why would you wear a jade bracelet when you are so young and active?"
Ye Bailu didn't dwell on this matter, but chatted with Ye Zhiqiu. Ye Chengxuan was also curious about which company he would choose to work for.
Ye Zhiqiu was puzzled and said, "Which family business should I work for? I won't go to any of them! I will never work as a laborer in my life! I can only rely on having more children and making my family work harder to maintain my happiness in life!"
Both of them stared at Ye Zhiqiu in shock, unable to believe that he had said these words himself!
After all, Ye Zhiqiu is now mature enough and has been a cadre for a long time, so his words as if it is his right to live off his parents and children are such a contrast!
You have to know that when Ye Zhiqiu was in Kaoshantun, he hoped to be able to live off his parents and lie down and relax. He really didn't want to work like a slave!
Now that he has money, the things he has collected and bought in the turbulent years are enough to feed his family for several lifetimes. Why should he still work hard to make money?
Not to mention his space, he can become a rich man even if he sells chickens and ducks!
There is no such thing as working for someone else. Even if it is a family business, no matter how much money he can make, he has no interest in it at all!
"Master, there is a letter for you."
Ye Zhiqiu was very surprised. He took the letter handed to him by the housekeeper and didn't understand who wrote to him.
“Who sent the letter?”
"Master, the messenger is at the door. He said he'll see him after you've read the letter. We've checked the letter and it's fine, but we haven't read the contents. Master, please make the final decision."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, then opened the envelope and took out the letter inside. On it was his national security ID number and two sentences.
"Dear Comrade Ye Zhiqiu, I'm very glad to have you here."
In fact, when Ye Zhiqiu saw the ID number, he knew that this was one of his own. He just didn't know why he came to see him so soon after he arrived here. Was there something he needed his help with?
No matter what, he still had to do this job! Because he couldn't harm Chen Erbao, and because he could leave smoothly with his wife and children, he directly arranged his own job, although it was a very general liaison job!
So he has to help when something happens, and he is not bragging, he can really return to his country at any time!
Ye Zhiqiu nodded to the housekeeper and said, "Please invite this guest in for a chat. Tea is served!"
"Okay, I understand."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said to Ye Chengxuan and the others, "I have some work matters from the past that I need to discuss. You two should step aside for now."
When they heard Ye Zhiqiu say this, they realized that this was a staff member from the mainland. They nodded and left the sofa, and ran into the kitchen to ask the chef to prepare food.
The man looked to be in his thirties, his clothes were very wrinkled, his leather shoes were a bit old, and he had an unshaven beard. How could I describe him?
It seems that the living conditions are not ideal and I don’t even have time to take care of myself.
Ye Zhiqiu stood up and shook hands with him. The man said excitedly, "Comrade Ye, my name is Huo Lihua. It's great that you're here! I've been waiting for this day for three years. I can finally change shifts and go home!"
Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded. When he came to his senses, he quickly asked, "Comrade Huo Lihua, why do you say that?"
"Comrade Ye, the situation is this: I am the liaison officer here. Three years ago, I should have arranged for someone to come and take over the shift so that I could go home and reunite with my family. But for some reason, the person who contacted me kept saying that there was no suitable opportunity and that they couldn't arrange for someone to come and take over the shift.
It wasn't until yesterday that I received a notice stating that you were the person I was handing over to, and that I needed to contact you myself. Also, these are the account books for our contact station. Three months' rent has been owed, totaling 1,732 yuan. The contact person said you will pay this outstanding amount. Do you have any questions?"
Seeing Huo Lihua pull out a stack of bills, Ye Zhiqiu was a little amused and asked in confusion, "So, what kind of business are you in? How did you end up in arrears? Don't you have any activity funds?"
Huo Lihua scratched his head and explained, "Our contact station sells breakfast, but in recent years, the protection fees have been too high, so we can't make ends meet. And I can't take action against these gangsters, and I'm a civilian staff member and I don't know how to fight. There's no other way, I can only pay them protection fees, and that's it..."
Ye Zhiqiu was really at a loss for words. He took out his bag, took out some Hong Kong dollars from it, and gave two thousand dollars to Huo Lihua.
"Then please go and pay the outstanding fee, and the remaining money will be used for your return trip."
"But...but Comrade Ye, the liaison officer told me that you would make up my salary for the past three years..."
“…How much is it in total?”
"My monthly salary is 100 yuan, a total of 3,600 yuan..."
Ye Zhiqiu counted out eight more 500-Hong Kong dollar bills and gave them to him, telling him not to change them! Huo Lihua happily put the money away and started connecting with him.
A notebook contained a contact number written in code. Ye Zhiqiu understood the code, so he didn't need to explain too much. After signing the shop lease transfer contract, he was given a set of keys. These were the keys to the breakfast shop, located at 32 Jardine's Square Street.
Huo Lihua warned, "Comrade Ye, I haven't been home for five years. My heart has flown back home, so I'll pay the outstanding bills now and tell the landlord to transfer the shop to you. Then I'll rush back. I miss my family so much! You have to get the contact point open as soon as possible. Although there are often no calls for months, work regulations require us to be open every day."
Ye Zhiqiu said gloomily, "I understand. After these two days, I will go and open the liaison station. Since Comrade Huo is in a hurry to go home, I wish you a safe journey!"
"Thank you very much. I also wish Ye Zhiqiu good luck in his work and that the liaison station's business will be prosperous..."
Ye Zhiqiu: ………
After seeing Huo Lihua off, Ye Zhiqiu was extremely depressed. It was like a slap in the face. He had just said that it was impossible to work! But then Chen Erbao stuffed a burden on him!
Paying the overdue bills was nothing to him; the key point was that this contact point had to be open all day long!
How could a wealthy man like me, who could afford to lie down and do nothing, be forced to sell breakfast?
After seeing the guests off, the butler went into the kitchen to inform the two young ladies that the guests had left.
As soon as Ye Bailu came out, she asked, "Brother, why are you still busy with work when you're here?"
Ye Zhiqiu let out a long breath and said with a depressed look, "It's your Uncle Chen. He thought I was too idle, so he arranged some things for me to do..."
"Ah? Which Uncle Chen?"
"Forget it, forget it. There's nothing worth remembering. Let's stay away from people named Chen from now on. They're just causing trouble for us..."
