Chapter 124 (Updated 124)
124:
The meal took a long time to finish.
When Ye Qingxi is involved, Qin Yuan can no longer ignore everything as she did before.
He naturally wanted to know when Qiu Yue's company was scheduled to open, where it would be located, what its future development direction would be, how many people were currently on his team, and how many people would be joining him at the new company, and so on.
Qin Yuan had never asked these questions before. After all, it was Qiu Yue's company, not his. Asking too many questions would be counterproductive.
But now that he's temporarily acting as a shareholder for Ye Qingxi, he naturally needs to find out the details.
By the time we finished talking, it was almost 11 o'clock.
Qin Yuan stood up. "Let's leave it at that for now. We can talk about the rest later."
“Okay,” Qiu Yue said.
The two went out together. Qin Yuan got into the car and made a phone call to Mu Zheng on the way back.
"Qiu Yue is planning to start a company, and I have invested in it, so you don't need to worry about him. You also shouldn't interfere with the company's future development."
"Okay." Mu Zheng gave him this face.
After Qin Yuan finished speaking with him, she made another phone call to Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi had just finished showering and was about to go to sleep when she saw it was his call. She quickly answered, "Uncle."
"Mm." Qin Yuan smiled. "I spoke with your Uncle Qiu Yue, and he agreed. From now on, you'll be Little Chairman Ye!"
Ye Qingxi feigned surprise, "Wow~"
"Thank you, Uncle."
"You're welcome. Go to bed early, and I'll take you out to play another day."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi said.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yuan was so efficient and got things done in just one day.
In this way, not only will Qiu Yue no longer have to worry, but he will also have a source of income in the future.
Keep up the good work, Xiao Qiu! You'd better make something of yourself!
Don't let me down!
Ye Qingxi smiled happily.
Mu Feng turned around and saw him sitting alone on the bed, seemingly happy about something. "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
Ye Qingxi smiled broadly, "Uncle Qin Yuan is going to start a company with Uncle Qiu Yue! That way, Uncle Qin Yuan will have two companies!"
"Is that so?" Mu Feng said softly. "He's lucky."
"Huh?" Ye Qingxi feigned confusion.
"It's nothing," Mu Feng said.
If Qin Yuan and Qiu Yue start a company together, then Qiu Yue's company will be saved.
After all, Qin Yuan had done a lot to crack down on the Qiu family, so he naturally couldn't just watch Qiu Yue help the Qiu family and give them a chance to retaliate against him.
Besides, they are related by marriage after all. Qin Yuan is Qin Cheng's maternal uncle, so his heart naturally leans towards where Qin Cheng is.
Mu Feng removed Qiu Yue from his blacklist, sat down on the edge of the bed, and coaxed his grandson, "Go to sleep, Grandpa will tell you a bedtime story."
Ye Qingxi nodded, pulled back the covers, and crawled inside.
After finishing up with Qiu Yue's matter, the results for Qiu Lu's case also came out. Duan Yi, citing the fact that Qiu Lu's mother had relentlessly pressured him to change his story after his detention, causing him both personal and psychological distress, requested an extension of the detention period to thirty days.
Qiu Lu naturally disagreed.
Qiu's mother also helped him hire a lawyer.
After much negotiation between the two sides, involving the sensitive topic of the college entrance examination, Qiu's father knew that he could not actually take Duan Yi to court, no matter how much he hated him. Therefore, Qiu Lu's detention period was ultimately set at twenty-one days.
Now, he'll definitely be spending the New Year at the police station.
Qiu's mother almost burst into tears on the spot, and fell ill a couple of days later.
She fell ill, and Qiu's father called Qiu Yue, who then returned home to visit her.
Qiu's mother glared at him from her hospital bed, resenting that he didn't help her younger brother.
"Are you satisfied now?! Your brother is going to spend the New Year in the police station, are you happy now?! Don't come back for the New Year this year!"
Looking at the resentment in her eyes, Qiu Yue couldn't understand. "Did I tell him to hire people to beat someone up? Did I tell you to cause trouble at Duan Yi's school? Did I tell him to be detained?!"
"So it's my fault! It's my fault!" Qiu's mother roared.
Qiu Yue looked at her and thought to himself: What else?
Before he came, he was very worried about his mother.
It seems that his mother still has the energy to scold him, so she should be alright.
"Then I'll be going now."
"Stop right there!" Mr. Qiu shouted sternly. "This is your home, why are you trying to leave?!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue turned to look at him.
Mr. Qiu's expression was not good. "Your mother is sick, and there's a lot of work going on at the company. Come back."
It seems like they were forced to say it, and only did so out of necessity.
Qiu Yue said calmly, "Okay, but Dad, you have to give me half of your shares."
"What did you say?!" Mr. Qiu roared. "Qiu Yue! The family is in such a state, and you're still thinking about money! Thinking about my shares! You scoundrel!"
Qiu Yue knew this would happen.
He'll do the work, but he can't accept the shares.
He cannot do without work, but he cannot have too much power.
His father had such a brilliant plan, but unfortunately, it was always only aimed at him.
"Dad was just joking with you." Qiu Yue laughed.
That's more like it, Qiu's father thought to himself.
"Don't make such ridiculous jokes again!" he scolded.
Qiu Yue nodded and said, "Then I'll go first, I have other things to do."
"What could be more important than company matters?!"
"You'll find out later," Qiu Yue said gently.
He didn't intend to tell his father now that he planned to leave Rongsheng, just as he didn't intend to tell his father now that he was taking his people with him.
—He has already spoken with his team. Rongsheng is not doing well recently, everyone is feeling uneasy, and they are all willing to leave with him.
Qiu Yue and they had a long-standing relationship, so he wasn't in a hurry to get them to resign now.
The New Year is approaching. After receiving your year-end bonus and benefits, enjoy the holiday in peace and tranquility before resigning.
So Qiu Yue didn't say anything.
He didn't want what I didn't want to give him.
But he will not give up what belongs to him.
If parents are unkind, then don't blame him for being unjust.
From now on, let's be a polite father and son, and a mother and son.
Qiu Yue left home and walked in the biting cold wind.
Surprisingly, the wind wasn't as cold as it was last time.
It even feels somewhat light.
Looking at the long, wide road ahead, Qiu Yue felt his future return to his feet.
After resolving the Qiu family's issues, Ye Qingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief and had time to check on her uncle's final exams.
Mu Shaoyan is frantically doing practice problems.
That's how it is with science subjects; if you want to get good grades, you have to do a lot of practice problems.
There's no limit to how many practice problems you can do.
So Duan Yi bought him set after set of specialized training papers, and even made a few for him himself.
Mu Shaoyan had become a coding problem-solving machine, starting his work on time every day and finishing on time to prepare for the next day's work.
Ye Qingxi sat next to him, looking at his questions and mentally working through them with him.
When he encounters questions that he often gets wrong or questions that are too difficult, he will secretly copy down the questions, write them out himself when he gets home, and then check the standard answer to see if his calculation is correct.
When Mu Shaoyan first discovered that he had copied his wrong answers, he asked in confusion, "Why are you copying this?"
Ye Qingxi declared confidently, "I'll copy it down so that you can do it again when you review later, Uncle, and see if you really understand it!"
After he finished speaking, he added, "That's how Pei Liang taught Zhong Yan and Kang Cong~"
—Of course that's fake. Pei Liang will just let the two of them remember it themselves, but Mu Shaoyan won't ask Pei Liang.
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoyan was so touched that he showered Ye Qingxi's face with kisses, then hugged him tightly and rubbed his face against hers, saying, "Baby, you're so good~"
Ye Qingxi: ...Let go, let go, you're hugging me too tightly!
Of course, he would also copy some questions that Mu Shaoyan knew but he didn't.
After noticing this, Mu Shaoyan asked again, "Baby, I wrote this correctly, why did you copy it too?"
Ye Qingxi said, "I like this question~"
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoyan didn't think anything of it.
In his view, children are like that—cute and quirky.
Ye Qingxi would often point to random questions and ask Duan Yi to explain them, and when asked, he would say, "This question looks so cute~"
Mu Shaoyan couldn't see what was so cute about the questions, but he thought his little nephew, who found the questions cute, was cute too. Therefore, he not only didn't suspect Ye Qingxi of having ulterior motives, but would also foolishly ask him, "Baby, which other questions do you find cute?"
Then, when he was relaxing, he copied it down for Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi: ...So easy to fool.
And so, after endless practice problems, Mu Shaoyan's final exams finally arrived.
Ye Qingxi encouraged him, "Uncle, do your best on the exam!"
Duan Yi also helped him highlight the key points and predicted the questions in advance, and even prepared a test paper.
Mu Shaoyan entered the examination room full of confidence. When he opened the paper, he was surprised to find that it was full of old friends!
This time, his grades achieved a historic breakthrough, placing him in the top 25 of his class and the top 80 of his grade.
His ranking surpassed He Guang's.
As is well known, high school seniors practically have no winter break.
After the final exams, instead of a holiday, they were given make-up classes during the winter break.
Mu Shaoyan was initially annoyed by the extra classes during the winter break—he could have studied at home and spent more time with his adorable little nephew.
But now, Mu Shaoyan felt that winter break tutoring also had its advantages. For example, he could walk up to He Guang and deliberately say, "Next time we'll be in the same exam room, don't copy my answers."
He Guang was so angry that he wanted to hit him but didn't dare to actually do it—after all, he really couldn't beat him.
The students around them lowered their heads and tried to suppress their laughter.
Mu Shaoyan was smug, and Ye Qingxi was also very satisfied.
That's great! With these grades, a first-tier university is practically guaranteed. It's just a bit uncertain about getting into a top-tier university, but it doesn't matter. Ye Qingxi's initial expectation for Mu Shaoyan was actually just a first-tier university.
As for A University and the like, isn't it true that the higher you set your goal, the less likely you are to fall too low when you drop down?
Ye Qingxi happily said, "Uncle, I'd like to treat you and Brother Duan Yi to dinner to celebrate your good performance on the exam."
"Then I'll treat you," Mu Shaoyan said, poking his cheek.
Ye Qingxi thought that was a good idea, "Then remember to tell Brother Duan Yi, okay?"
"Okay," Mu Shaoyan replied.
He told Duan Yi about it the next day, and the two of them, along with Ye Qingxi, created a group chat to discuss what to eat.
We finally decided to go eat barbecue.
Ye Qingxi was young, so her only responsibility was to eat.
Duan Yi and Mu Shaoyan worked together seamlessly, one grilling and the other skewering. Before long, Ye Qingxi's small plate was filled with beef, chicken wings, sausages, and more.
"We'd like some tofu with a crispy skin," Ye Qingxi said to Mu Shaoyan.
Mu Shaoyan quickly transferred the crispy tofu from the baking tray to his plate, asking, "Anything else?"
"Sausage."
Mu Shaoyan put it in his bowl again.
Ye Qingxi ate happily, while Duan Yi silently refilled his yogurt and drink when he was almost finished, so that he could eat and drink at the same time.
Ye Qingxi ate happily and gently swung her feet.
When they had almost finished eating, he took out the gift he had bought for Duan Yi.
"Brother Duan Yi, this is for you. I wish you a Happy New Year in advance, and thank you for tutoring my uncle so diligently. You've worked hard."
Duan Yi: !
Duan Yi was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Ye Qingxi to prepare a gift for him.
This is simply his duty, and it doesn't warrant preparing a gift for it.
He turned to look at Mu Shaoyan, who was still busy eating barbecue.
—It seems that this was not his idea, but Ye Qingxi's own idea.
Duan Yi: ...
That familiar feeling came back.
A sensible and polite nephew and his immature uncle.
Can you please stop eating and look at what your little nephew is holding?
If someone absolutely had to say what he just said, it shouldn't be Ye Qingxi, a five-year-old child!
