Chapter 868 Let's keep going.
They recognized Lin Yuyao, but it wouldn't be good to argue with her after seeing her, so it was Chen Bingzhi who went to see them.
Chen Bingzhi knew everything about their family affairs.
Old Zhang called him this morning, saying that the three of them had gotten into a fight last night.
No wonder they all had bruises and swelling on their faces.
"Ye Xiaotong does work here. As for me, I'm one of the bosses here... and my surname is Chen."
Upon hearing this, the two immediately sat up straight, their expressions becoming much more serious.
"Mr. Chen, thank you so much for taking care of my Xiaotong."
Chen Bingzhi waved his hand and said, "It's not a matter of preferential treatment. There are thousands of people in this office building, all of whom are here to work. As long as the work is done well, I treat everyone the same."
"Yes, yes, our girl is clumsy and must have caused you a lot of trouble."
"No, she's doing a great job. She's all alone, with no family or children to hold her back, so she can get to work right away, much better than those employees who take time off every day for their children or parents. However... lately, because of your arrival, she's been quite distracted and has made several mistakes at work."
"..." The two of them wore awkward smiles.
"I'm sorry, I'll talk to her later, but I need to focus on work."
"I can't say for sure right now."
"what?"
Chen Bingzhi took a sip of tea and said casually, "She's away on a business trip."
"A business trip? What do you mean?"
"She had a job in another city, so I sent her to work there."
The two men's expressions changed drastically. "What?"
How could they just leave like that? The world is so big, where can they find someone?
Mr. Ye asked anxiously, "How come no one told us about something so serious? Where did she go? When will she be back?"
"I'll probably be back in about a week."
A week?
so far so good.
"You guys go back first. Ye Xiaotong will be back in a week and she will contact you."
The two looked at each other.
What else can we do but go back?
But the thought of having to go back to find Yang Guangzong and stay in that dilapidated shack for so many days made their faces turn increasingly grim.
After coming downstairs, the two began to blame each other.
“I told you I wouldn’t come, but you insisted. Now look what’s happened, living in a shack and feeding on lice. Look at the mess you’ve made, it would have been better to just farm back home.”
Ye's mother felt very wronged.
What do you mean?
She was the one who said he wanted to come, and he practically dragged her there, but now it's all her fault.
Yang Guangzong was still waiting at the door when he saw the couple come out with their luggage again, and he grinned from ear to ear.
"Hehe!" Two old men.
"Why are you out here again? What's wrong? Your dutiful daughter doesn't want you anymore?"
"You're talking nonsense. If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
"Oh, did I hit the nail on the head?"
"You..." Ye's father was so angry that he was about to hit him again.
Ye's mother hurriedly pulled him aside and looked at Yang Guangzong, saying, "Our Xiaotong didn't say she didn't recognize us. She left suddenly yesterday because she received a notice from her boss that there was urgent work that she needed to do immediately."
"Yes, she's away on a business trip and will be back in about a week."
Yang Guangzong expressed doubt, "How could it be such a coincidence? They must be lying to you."
"How could they lie to us? The boss said it himself."
"Oh, so what are you planning to do now?" Yang Guangzong asked sarcastically, glancing at the luggage they were carrying.
"This……"
The two looked at each other, a week was neither a long nor a short time, they couldn't very well sleep on the streets, could they?
You could stay at a guesthouse, but they're so expensive.
Staying for one or two days is fine, but seven days, plus the cost of food and drink, would be the death of them.
"Go back to Old Zhang's place," Ye's father said irritably.
Yang Guangzong: "What? You want to stay in my bed?"
"What do you mean your bed? That's Brother Zhang's bed. Yang Guangzong, don't think we're taking advantage of you by staying at Brother Zhang's place temporarily. Bah, it has nothing to do with you. Brother Zhang and I hit it off immediately, and he's willing to let us stay here."
Yang Guangzong's mouth twitched violently, "I paid money, five yuan a month."
“It’s just five yuan. I’ll give Brother Zhang five yuan later. We’ll only stay for a week for five yuan.”
Five yuan a week for two people is acceptable to them.
Yang Guangzong was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
He got into a fight with the couple last night. Although he was young and strong, there were two of them.
Women who do farm work year-round are not much worse than men. At first, he could have the upper hand, but soon he was beaten by the couple.
Damn it, Yang Guangzong has such a bad reputation, when did he become so spineless?
It seems like any cat or dog could come up and kick him.
Ye's parents stayed at Old Zhang's house for the time being. Yang Guangzong dared not speak out against it, since the house was not his.
……
Song Qin has been gone for some time now, but I still call her every now and then.
She said that apart from the ridiculously high prices and the fact that people spend money like water in Hong Kong, there's nothing wrong with it.
"You won't know what a modern city is until you come here. Seriously, you have to come and visit."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later. I don't have time right now."
"Oh, work is never-ending. Besides, you're the boss now, you don't need to do any work yourself. You can't possibly not have a few days to relax, can you?"
"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later," Lin Yuyao said casually.
She does want to go, but she doesn't plan to go right now.
Let's wait a few years. After the handover, Fu Huaiyi should be able to go too, and then they can go together.
It's not possible to go now.
"You're such a boring person," Song Qin clicked her tongue.
"Oh, right, I bought you some things. I'll have Chen Bingzhi bring them to you next time he comes over."
"What did you buy?"
"This is good stuff; you can't buy it in mainland China."
Lin Yuyao guessed that they were probably some foreign products that were not available for sale in mainland China for the time being.
The two chatted for a while, and the topic of Ye Xiaotong came up.
Song Qin felt a deep empathy for her, because her parents hadn't fared much better a few years ago.
Fortunately, they've come to their senses in the last few years.
They wanted to exploit Song Qin's childlessness because she wasn't married. They thought that since she wouldn't get married, they could make money for their eldest grandson.
Later, she got married and had her own son. Her in-laws were powerful, so naturally they didn't dare to try to take advantage of her childlessness.
They've become more obedient these past few years, and we can now interact like ordinary relatives.
During holidays and festivals, we give each other gifts to maintain a superficial relationship.
She couldn't maintain a close blood relationship with them.
"Since she's already in Guangzhou, why not let her come to Hong Kong?"
"Oh? I just told her parents yesterday that she'll be back in a week. If she goes to your place, a week might not be enough."
"If it's not enough, we can stay a few more days. I'll talk to her about it later. Anyway, it's very close by."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"I'm so bored, like I'm in exile. Ah, I am in exile, exiled to a remote desert island."
