Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1581 - 919: Help / Hatred Born of Love?_2

Judging by his appearance, it was clear I hit the nail on the head. Li Xiaoyan continued, ”This benefit, if used for fellow villagers, no one can say anything. I’ve saved for the company for two years now, this year, there’s no way I’m saving anymore.

The thing is, if I keep doing this, it’ll make things difficult for other colleagues. They might even think I’m sucking up to the boss intentionally. So, if you go with the students, it would be helping me. What do you say—will you help me or not?”

Wang Qiayu pushed his glasses up and looked bewildered, ”It’s the first time I’m hearing about this benefit. Is this real or fake? I... I’m not sure...”

Li Xiaoyan interrupted him with a smile, ”I wouldn’t make up such a lie. It’s not like I have so much money that I can’t spend it.”

”Well...” Wang Qiayu hesitated. For him at this moment, Li Xiaoyan’s benefit was truly a blessing in disguise.

The money he had could barely afford a bowl of ramen for the classmates and him. Moreover, after finishing tonight’s meal, he might be half-hungry tomorrow morning. If the money doesn’t come through tomorrow, he won’t even have lunch. By saving this meal, at least they could hold out till tomorrow noon...

A man has things he should and shouldn’t do. This time, there’s no need to be so pretentious. At worst, he would report this matter to the school after returning. He would pay more attention to Li Xiaoning. With this in mind, he agreed readily, ”Sure, I’ll take everyone there. I’ll remember your kindness.”

”Alright, let’s settle it then...” Li Xiaoyan said as she got up to leave, ”I’m going to chat with Wen Jie for a bit. Let’s meet at the hotel entrance at six o’clock.”

”Okay.”

After Li Xiaoyan left, Wang Qiayu looked at Li Xiaoning, ”Xiao Ning, be honest with the teacher, is what your sister said true?”

”Of course!” Li Xiaoning nodded immediately.

Wang Qiayu scrutinized him for a while and then breathed a sigh of relief, ”That’s good. I just don’t want parents to suffer because of the school’s reason.”

”They won’t.” Li Xiaoning said this, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. Earlier, he was just immersed in the joy that his sister could help the teacher, and really hadn’t thought about this issue—would his sister’s boss dislike her doing this?

It was clear his sister very much liked this job. If because of this reason, her boss disliked her... Li Xiaoning’s originally cheerful mood slowly sank.

...

Liangyou General Manager’s Office.

Luo Ye lounged comfortably on the sofa, grinning at Qu Yue, ”We really did choose right when selecting people initially. Li Xiaoyan’s heart is truly commendable, even able to think of such a method, heh...”

”Yes, she’s quite kind-hearted, which is why I listened to you and decided to help her.” Qu Yue said as he placed the brewed flower tea in front of Luo Ye, ”You came all the way here, it can’t be just to chat idly with me, right?”

Regarding Luo Ye’s sudden visit, he was naturally happy. But based on past experiences, he didn’t believe this guy came without a reason.

”I really just came over to chat with you...” Luo Ye said but then retracted his smile, ”Young Master, after the New Year, I might be coming less frequently. Liangyou will really have to be fully on your shoulders.

When we started Liangyou, you and I and Fu Mo agreed to make efforts together, but all these years, it has always been you working alone...”

”Don’t talk about these superficial things!” Qu Yue shot her a glance, ”Get to the point and directly say what it is you want to tell me.”

”You’re really deciding to stay at Liangyou and not go to the Qu Family?”

Asked so directly by Luo Ye, Qu Yue was slightly taken aback but soon returned to normal, ”The Qu Family has my parents, there’s no need for me to worry too much.”

”Young Master, don’t take me for a fool. My coming to find you especially signifies I’ve understood some things...” After a pause, Luo Ye continued, ”Your second uncle and aunt’s families suddenly withdrew from the Qu Family, not only taking funds but also taking away some clients. The Qu Family is now facing a dual dilemma of capital and management talent. At this time, if you as the Crown Prince of the Qu Family don’t step in, how can you command respect in the future?”

”Indeed, good deeds seldom go out the door, bad things spread far and wide...” Qu Yue sighed and sat on the sofa, ”When the Qu Family was in my grandpa’s hands, it could only be considered a medium enterprise. Only after my father took over did it slowly grow larger.

And considering I’m the only male cutting from my generation in the Qu Family, Grandpa directly skipped my dad and burdened me with the responsibility of successor.

So, all these years, even though it’s my dad managing the Qu Family, his title has always been acting chairman. This is probably unique within the country.
