At this moment, Ye Tian was in the laboratory conducting drug extraction. Since he had extracted yesterday, today was much smoother, and he successfully extracted five types of medicinal herbs.
At seven in the evening, the research center was closing. Ye Tian was about to order some food and then continue working overtime with Zhu Yuyan and the others when he received a call from Xu Siqing.
On the phone, Xu Siqing said with a crying voice, "Cousin, we were wrong. My dad shouldn't have gone to your company today. Now, the police are saying they want to sue my dad. Cousin, please spare my dad this time, sob sob..."
Ye Tian said indifferently, "He violated the law by causing a minor injury to someone. I can't help."
Xu Siqing: "Cousin, I know my dad hasn't done well all these years, but he is your uncle, your aunt's brother after all. Cousin, for your aunt's sake, can you let my dad off the hook?"
It was better if the other party didn't mention his mother. The moment his mother was brought up, Ye Tian's anger flared. He said indifferently, "Regarding the company, we can provide a written statement of understanding, but you also need to compensate the injured security guard. As for the specifics, you can discuss it yourselves." With that, he hung up the phone.
Seeing that Ye Tian was in a bad mood, Zhu Hongyan asked, "Boss, is everything okay?"
Ye Tian said lightly, "It's nothing. Let's eat first, and then we'll work overtime tonight."
Zhu Hongyan nodded. She had already asked the cafeteria to prepare dinner, and the two of them, along with other employees, went to the cafeteria to eat.
While eating, Ye Tian saw a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a restaurant uniform, clearing dishes from table to table. The moment he saw the woman, Ye Tian's body trembled because she looked so much like his mother. Although not a hundred percent, she was at least sixty percent similar.
He looked a few times and asked Zhu Hongyan, "Hongyan, I don't think I've seen that cleaning aunt before."
Zhu Hongyan smiled and said, "I was just about to tell you about this, boss. Her name is Liu Meihong. She applied here a few days ago but wasn't successful because her qualifications didn't meet the requirements. That day, she stopped me when I was leaving work and asked if I could help her."
Ye Tian: "So you helped her?"
Zhu Hongyan: "Aunt Liu's current situation is quite pitiful. She also had a happy family. She and her husband both had stable jobs, and they had a lively and intelligent son. However, when their son was five years old, he fell from a tall building and became paraplegic. She had to quit her job to take care of her son. Over the years, they spent almost all their savings on her son's treatment. What's even more tragic is that her husband died in a car accident five years ago. Because the other party was influential, her family not only received no compensation but also had to pay the other party 150,000 yuan. This incident hit her hard, and she almost broke down. But she still had a son to take care of, so she gritted her teeth and persevered."
Ye Tian was silent for a moment and said, "She is indeed quite pitiful, so you hired her?"
Zhu Hongyan: "Aunt Liu's qualifications are not a problem, but she has one request, which is to bring her son to live with her in the building, because only then can she take care of him. Her family has no savings left and owes a lot of money. She is forced to work now out of necessity. I thought her request wasn't much, so I spoke to the restaurant and hired her."
Ye Tian nodded, "You did the right thing."
At this moment, Zhu Hongyan beckoned to Liu Meihong. Liu Meihong quickly walked over and said somewhat nervously, "Director, did you need me for something?"
Zhu Hongyan said, "Aunt Liu, this is the boss of our Baozhi Company, Mr. Ye Tian."
Liu Meihong quickly bowed ninety degrees to Ye Tian and said, "Hello, boss!"
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, are you satisfied with the work here? If you need anything, you can tell me directly."
Liu Meihong quickly said, "Boss, I don't need anything. I am already very grateful that the company is willing to hire me!"
