The Ye family is a standard feminist family.
In the previous generation, Ye’s mother suppressed Ye’s father, and in the next generation, Ye Shuang suppressed Ye Feng. Of course, this refers to the situation when the real head of the household, Father Ye, does not speak.
Unless it comes to really important matters, the say in the family is generally in the hands of women.
Naturally, everyone was shocked when Ye Ma arranged a blind date for Ye Shuang, but thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with it, so Ye Ma's idea was approved without any objection.
Ye Shuang sighed and could only think of herself as Cai Yi's wife. Anyway, spending time with her mother was considered a filial piety to the old man.
She is already not sincere enough, and when she encounters a blind date who is not sincere or solves the task, she knows that a miracle will not happen and she will find a sudden love... Oops! She is only 5 years old!
Early the next morning, Ye Shuang carried a small bag and went out. Ye Ma was preparing breakfast. Seeing this situation, she hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, we have a blind date in the afternoon, why are you going?"
"Go to the Exit and Entry Administration to change Tony's work information." Ye Shuang said helplessly: "That kid originally had a tourist visa, but it only lasted for half a year and it was longer. Later, he signed a contract with someone else to stay and work, but he didn't change his visa. … I just found out last night that Brother Han sent documents and already said hello to me. I took my passport to get it corrected."
Antonis also just wants to have fun and doesn't care about trivial details. He never stayed in any country for too long in the past, so he never thought about the deadline when applying for a visa. This time, he only remembered himself after celebrating the New Year at Han Chu's house. It's almost becoming an illegal gangster. So Han Chu hurriedly sent the passport trustee to Ye Shuang to go through the formalities.
If he didn't get it done quickly, Antonis wouldn't be able to buy a plane ticket without a passport, let alone go back to work in Shanlin City.
"Does it have to be today?" Ye Ma was depressed.
"Yes, the sooner the better." Ye Shuang sat at the door to change her shoes and explained without looking up: "Brother Han's people are just here for a meeting. They will fly back in the afternoon. Once they are done, they can take their passports back with them. … Don’t worry, they’ve all been cleared by the above, so I’m just giving them away.”
Ye Ma was still worried and chased her to the door with the porridge pot: "How long will it take?!"
"It's almost the morning, maybe I'll have lunch with someone... Anyway, I'll be back at three or four in the afternoon at most." Ye Shuang estimated the time and then said helplessly: "Mom, you made an appointment with someone for dinner, why are you in a hurry. Could it be that if I see this, I won’t go out all day?”
After the New Year, there are no free days. Not to mention that the list of screenwriters to be signed has not yet been finalized. Even in Shanlin City, she still has to continue to track the progress of Antonis and An Zixun's cooperation.
In addition to other work that may come in, there are also entertainment contacts, re-examination of talent qualifications and health conditions, plus connections with Jinghu City’s celebrity circle and chess academy... It’s not hard to say how busy Ye Shuang is, but These are all time-consuming things. She wouldn't mind if Ye Ma arranged a blind date for dinner, but she couldn't just do nothing just to meet people on a blind date.
"The child's family conditions are really good this time." Ye Ma said earnestly. Although she didn't mean to stop anyone, she still urged her earnestly, for fear that her daughter would run away from the marriage... no, from the blind date: "Originally, my mother planned to take you to get your hair done. Buying new clothes or something, look at you and you don’t like to put on makeup! If you really have something serious to do, forget it. Anyway, you will have a long time to get along with each other in the future, but if you are being petty and deliberately late, then don’t It’s my fault that I’m so cruel!”
"..." Ye Shuang was silent for half a minute, and said in black: "What have I done to deserve your cruelty?!"
Is this still my own mother? ! It's not a big deal to go on a blind date. Even if she treats it as an interview task, she can't just let him go. Otherwise, this behavior will not be called personality, but will be called uneducated.
"Okay, I'll give you a call when I'm done." Ye Shuang became depressed, put on his shoes, stood up, waved goodbye and left: "I promise to go, I will definitely go! Don't worry."
Ye Ma wanted to say a few more words, but she couldn't free her hands to hold the pot. Ye Shuang dodges quickly. Ye Ma could only watch the door close in front of her, and cursed in frustration: "This girl I don’t care about my own affairs at all.”
Dad Ye just happened to go out of the room and saw this scene. He sat down at the dining table with a calm expression: "It's just a blind date, you are making too much fuss."
"Then it's fun for her to change?" Ye Ma glared at Ye Ye, walked over to put the pot on the table, and went back to the kitchen to get the bowl out while continuing to mutter: "Anyway, every girl will get married sooner or later. If Xiaoshuang gets married as soon as possible, we will have peace of mind."
Father Ye was noncommittal. To be honest, if it weren't for the BUFF of gender change, he would not have planned to marry off his daughter so early.
The father-in-law and the son-in-law were enemies in the previous life. This sentence is absolutely true in any family.
"Okay, let's ask Xiao Feng to come out for dinner!"
…
Just like Ye Shuang told his mother, it actually doesn't take much time to change Antonis's visa. After all, it has been informed in advance. It takes ten and a half months or even several months for others to get a visa. After getting the green light, In fact, it only takes a while.
In addition, it may not be the first time that Han Chu has done such trivial things for this annoying child, so the documents prepared and the joints cleared are all complete, except for the slight expense of driving to Anjia Enterprise to get the certification documents and the employment contract. Apart from a little time, other procedures are basically hassle-free.
It was just after noon after finishing all the things, and it was only two o'clock in the afternoon when I drove to give the passport to Han Chu's friend. It was too late to eat, so I just shook hands and wished him a safe journey.
Not long after saying goodbye to the person who brought the things, Han Chu probably called after receiving the news: "You just went through a set of procedures regarding the passport. From now on, you will be responsible for these. Those who recognize their faces, you have to handle it." Just tell me your name when going through any formalities."
"Okay." Ye Shuang deserves it without any burden. In fact, everyone's business is in China. How many times can there be special situations like Antonis's? ! To put it bluntly, it is you who takes advantage. If you run errands, you will know a shortcut. It will be more convenient if you want to travel abroad or something in the future.
"By the way, I heard from Yao Zhixing that you got into trouble in Shanlin City?" Han Chu asked calmly, as if casually chatting.
Ye Shuang secretly cursed: "That's Brother Yao's enemy, I'm just a fish in the pond."
"Oh, I made a mistake." Han Chu just cheated casually. When Ye Shuang was dissatisfied, he changed his mind and said, "Yao Zhixing said that he has been in trouble recently?"
"Forget it, it's a rabid dog." Ye Shuang also sighed. Thinking about the fact that she had previously acted in a big drama to position herself as a scholarly and talented woman, I guess she would have to take a lot of time to participate in some activities in the future because of this... If it weren't for being careful about that Zhou Le, why is she looking for trouble? !
However, it would be a shame to say that there is no benefit at all. At least with this identity, it will be much easier for her to move around Shanlin City: "Anyway, the matter has been resolved now. That person is a chewing gum, and he will not let go of people if he sticks to them... Fortunately, Brother Yao's hatred value is relatively high now, I guess he won't be in the mood to look for me after Brother Yao has finished cleaning up."
"Well, it's fine." Han Chu responded. Ye Shuang could even vaguely hear a few keyboard clicks coming from the other party, and then heard Han Chu ask lightly after a while: "I heard you are going on a blind date?!" It was still calm and calm. Like a casual chat.
Shit, shit, shit!
Ye Shuang gritted his teeth: "...Tony told you?!"
This damn golden retriever is really not a good thing. Ye Shuang didn't think about it at first, but now that he thought about it, he came back to his senses. When the other party heard that he was going on a blind date, he was very interested. When he arrived at Han Chu's house, he thought of Shanlin City. At that time, wasn’t this one thing that made the most vivid impression? I had to share it with my friends.
Of course, Ye Shuang didn't mean to be shady, but it was a private matter after all, so it was a bit awkward for it to be widely publicized.
Han Chu didn't answer Ye Shuang's question. Anyway, he guessed that the source of the information could only be Antonis. It didn't matter whether he said it or not: "You have to arrange your work before going on a blind date. Do you want me to hand over your work to others first?" ?”
"No." The agent's commission is his own, and the man he meets on a blind date does not necessarily belong to whose family he is. Ye Shuang doesn't do that kind of thing, exchanging the knowledge for the lack of knowledge.
"Okay." Han Chu was finally satisfied. He liked subordinates who could distinguish between public and private matters.
In a good mood, Han Chu also gave a gentle reminder: "If you really can't find a suitable candidate, you can also refer to the talents in my database..."
"..." That's really a big thank you to your whole family!
After finally hanging up the phone with Han Chu, Ye Shuang was so depressed that she didn't know what to say.
Then again, the original reason why she was looking for a job was to meet more people and expand her options for her fixed gender. But I don’t know since when, Han Chu’s database was stored in his computer, but Ye Shuang never thought about finding a partner from it...
What should I say about this situation? Sometimes expectations and reality are completely different things. Ye Shuang considers herself not a sentimental girl, but she can cultivate feelings with people just by choosing the right conditions without getting along with them. Even if it's her. I also find it a bit hard to accept.
Of course it is immature to put emotion before reason, but it is undeniable that goodwill is also the basis of trust and communication.
Without basic mutual goodwill and trust, how can we talk about getting married and having children together for a lifetime? ! It is estimated that within a month she will be so depressed that she will get divorced.
…
After settling her work matters and asking questions from her boss, Ye Shuang looked at the time and saw that it was already around three o'clock. She found the parking lot and picked up a call from her mother on the way to park her car, reporting her whereabouts.
Knowing that Ye Shuang was free now, Ye Ma decisively gave instructions to him to go to a SPA. There was no need to perm your hair or change clothes, but you still have to tidy up your appearance even if you don't wear makeup, right? !
Ye Shuang couldn't figure it out. Her genetically optimized skin could be put on posters directly from the camera without using PS. What kind of SPA should she do? !
So even though she agreed verbally, she still hung up the phone and continued to do what she was supposed to do. Ye Shuang bought snacks from the parking lot and ate while walking. After a while, she ended up near the commercial city that Ye Ma had agreed with...
"I told you that my wallet is missing and I want your manager to come out. You don't understand human language, do you!!"
I had just walked half a circle on the first floor of the commercial city and passed by the jade counter. Before Ye Shuang could continue walking inside, a familiar grumpy voice came from next to me.
Looking through the sound, Zhou Le's silhouette appeared in the line of sight. The other person was quarreling with the salesperson at the counter with an angry look on his face, or to be more precise, Zhou Le was shouting unilaterally. The salesperson tried hard to maintain a stiff smile and said politely: "Sir, our manager won't be back for a while. How about this? I'll pack this rhodolite bracelet for you and keep it. You can go back and get the money, or wait for our manager to come back in an hour?!"
Ye Shuang's eyes moved down a little, and she saw a bunch of rhodolite bracelets on the counter between the two of them. The color and size looked good. Mining of rhodolite has been banned in Argentina for a long time. Of course, the price has been soaring, especially It is even rarer to have a better seed head, and it is not easy to find a bunch that is ground so evenly and of high quality.
The salesperson's suggestion could be said to be quite reasonable. It not only respects the customer's needs but also proposes solutions. In fact, even if she didn't leave anything behind on purpose, this kind of jade jewelry may not be seen casually while walking down the street like someone buying cabbage. Just buy it back. Most people would stop caring after hearing this, but Zhou Le is not an ordinary person.
This person's character can be said to be arbitrary at best, or insane at worst. As long as it's something he thinks of on a whim, not many people can vote him back. So Zhou Le was not only dissatisfied, but even more angry: "You think I have no money, right?! I have bought things from you so many times, even if I take the things away several times, why don't you give them to you?" The manager calls!”
Although the tone was not small, it would be strange if the salesperson could really let him take away a bracelet worth tens of thousands of yuan with nothing. So he had to smile bitterly: "I'm sorry, sir, but our manager's cell phone is out of battery. I called him before..."
Ye Shuang was so happy when she heard it. It was rare that she could watch such a scene.
Zhou Le was so angry that he looked around, as if he wanted to find someone else who could take charge. When his eyes lit up, he spotted Ye Shuang standing outside, but then he seemed to think of something again, and his expression suddenly changed.
Now that he was discovered, Ye Shuang simply walked over with a smile. As soon as he walked within one meter of Zhou Le, the other party subconsciously took half a step back, but maybe thinking that Ye Shuang could not do anything in public, this After half a step, he quickly paused. Zhou Le gritted his teeth, straightened his back and stayed in place.
The salesperson was so good at observing words and expressions. Zhou Le fell silent as soon as he saw Ye Shuang coming over. He immediately realized that this might be an important person and he greeted the savior attentively.
Ye Shuang smiled at the salesperson, lowered her head and plucked the beads on the bracelet, and then turned her head to look at Zhou Le with a half-smile but not a smile: "Master Zhou, are you planning to rob?!"
Zhou Le stared, but didn't dare to say anything.
Ye Shuang couldn't help but look at the price tag and sighed: "More than 20,000 yuan is not expensive..."
Zhou Le murmured his lips a few times. It seemed that after a great psychological struggle, he finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Can you... lend me some money." The volume was so low that almost no one could hear it clearly. If it weren't for Ye Shuang's good hearing, I wouldn't have known what he said.
"What?!" Ye Shuang was in full acting mode, with a flawless expression of doubt on his face: "Did Mr. Zhou just talk to me?"
The salesperson also turned his questioning gaze to Zhou Le.
Zhou Le coughed and turned his head away. At this moment, the ringtone of his mobile phone also rang in his pocket. He picked it up and looked at the caller number. Zhou Le hung up the phone without picking up the call, but seemed to be urged to make a decision by the call. Determined, Zhou Le put his phone back and asked again: "...can you lend me some money?"
As the saying goes, if you lose money, you will avoid disaster.
If Zhou Le really borrowed money from Ye Shuang this time, let alone the amount, it would be a favor anyway. Ye Shuang would have spent money to make a good relationship, and Zhou Le would have trouble with other people in the future. He won't take the initiative to find her... and it's impossible for her not to pay back the money.
Zhou Le's thoughts were naturally easier to understand, probably because he was really in a hurry, and happened to pass by Ye Shuang at this time.
Of course, people who can participate in the New Year's Eve fireworks display cannot even afford tens of thousands of dollars. Zhou Le doesn't know that his scheme against Ye's father has been exposed, and thinks that the only point of hatred between the two is the hot spring fight... Even then. This time he was beaten again!
After hearing the secretary's news, he had no intention of touching the Ye family again. In addition, he was frightened by Ye Shuang's force, so the possibility of revenge was almost non-existent... Since there would be no more head-on conflicts in the future, let's borrow a What happened to the money? !
Uncle Zhou is willing to bow his head to show his goodwill, and the other party should take the opportunity to do the next thing, so that both parties can move to a higher level and avoid further embarrassment in the future.
... But what if, what if, Zhou Le didn't expect that Ye Shuang would be a wilted and rotten rice plant.
After smiling and appreciating Zhou Le's embarrassed, embarrassed and awkward expression for a while, he almost couldn't help but fall out when he saw the various colors on the other person's face. Then Ye Shuang finally spoke slowly, and the two words were easily lit. Zhou Le said angrily: "I won't borrow it." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The salesperson was dumbfounded. Aren't these two friends? !
Zhou Le was instantly fired up and almost went crazy with anger: "Stop!"
"What are you doing?" Ye Shuang stopped as expected, his eyebrows curved and looking very sweet and harmless: "I won't lend you my money, and you plan to steal it openly?!"
Grab a piece of shit!
Zhou Le's face turned pale with anger: "If you don't want to borrow money, why did you come in here?" Are you kidding me? !
"You're joking." Ye Shuang was so straightforward that even the salesperson couldn't help but want to hide her face and retreat: "We are not even friends, why do you think I should lend you money?! "
depression to luck? Make a good relationship? !
This option is indeed a good one, but Zhou Le now has no leverage to threaten Ye Shuang, so why should she have such a good relationship? !
Not to mention that the matter between the other party and Yao Zhixing has not yet been settled, but with Zhou Le's character, there will definitely be things that will step on Ye Shuang's bottom line in the future. Maybe one day everyone will fall out again... Since there is no way, it is better to do it from the beginning. Don't bother.
For example, she accepted An Zixun because their previous hostility was just a matter of stance, but Zhou Le was obviously in the field of professional suicide, so there was nothing she could do about it.
…
After teasing Zhou Le, Ye Shuang felt much better. How could an idiot be passive and not fight back? Whether peace is the most important thing depends on who you say it to.
I walked around a few more floors and bought some odds and ends. It took almost an hour before I received a call from Ye Ma. The other person was already in the reserved restaurant, and there was a middle-aged man next to her. The voice asking about the menu should be Ye Ma's suitor in her youth.
Alarm bells were ringing in Ye Shuang's mind. Although it is impossible for Ye Ma to cheat on her regardless of age or relationship, it is not possible to have such a good relationship with her former suitor.
In most blind dates, parents and children appear together. It would be better for Ye Ma to catch up with old friends first, and then summon the protagonist of the blind date when the time comes... Is this the rhythm of secretly plotting against Chen Cang? !
Even if you cross over and just take a walk, it won’t work!
Ye Shuang quickly packed the things she bought into her bag, and rushed to the restaurant without saying a word.
When she arrived at the restaurant's service desk, she reported her table number and a waiter immediately led Ye Shuang to Ye's mother's table. Ye Shuang took a look and saw that the man sitting opposite Ye's mother looked like an ordinary passerby. His safety level was guaranteed, but he But he has the temperament of a successful person, his clothes and watches are famous brands, and he seems to be well-off.
"Xiao Shuang is here?!" It seemed that Ye's mother was having a good time reminiscing with the person. When she saw Ye Shuang, her mood was soaring. She led the person to sit next to her, and then introduced to the man opposite him familiarly: "I haven't seen you yet, Lao Zhou." Are you going to live with my Xiaoshuang? She is currently working as a professional chess player in the chess academy, but she has not gone out to work. She is much worse than your son. "
"It would be great if my son is as reliable as you say. He has been beaten several times and is disobedient. He keeps causing trouble outside all day long..." The man smiled kindly: "Xiao Shuang is the most powerful one. Not to mention she is a talented woman and has a long life." It’s also beautiful.”
Ye Shuang was extremely obedient and took the initiative to call someone, trying to draw the man's attention away: "Hello, Uncle Zhou." Come and blast me! Let that housewife go!
The man was even more happy when he heard Ye Shuang call him uncle. He responded with "Okay, okay, okay" several times. Then he looked at his watch in shame and said angrily, "That brat is the same. I asked him to do something and it hasn't been resolved yet!"
"It's okay, I just want to have a meal anyway..." Mother Ye hurriedly comforted her, but when she was halfway through her words, she saw the man's eyes light up and he looked towards the door: "Here he comes!"
Ye Shuang looked in the direction of the man's gaze and saw Zhou Le walking in in a hurry, sweating profusely.
"Dad, I just..."
Zhou Lezheng came over in a hurry and wanted to explain something. Unexpectedly, the young girl sitting in front of his father turned her head, and all the rest of his words were choked in her throat.
Damn it!
Fight or flight? ! Zhou Le opened his eyes wide and stared at Ye Shuang in disbelief, and was instantly confused. (To be continued)
