695: Chapter 695: How Rumors are Born 695: Chapter 695: How Rumors are Born Shen Tianfang shouted angrily.
“Good performance counts for nothing!
You just don’t understand how things work in big companies.
Everything requires seniority, and without it, you’re not regarded at all, especially for someone like Yuqin who just started working.
She’s bound to face all sorts of difficulties from others.
Those old-timers have already established their network of relationships, with various factions formed within the company.
Why would the company lay them off?
It’s just Yuqin’s bad luck.
Sigh,” Wu Li sighed.
Shen Tianfang said with unwavering conviction, “I simply don’t believe Yuqin will be laid off, nor do I believe a huge company like Huating International could just collapse.”
“What do you know?
This time, Huating International is being targeted by a coalition of eight companies within the same business association.
They won’t rest until Huating International is brought down.
I’ve already thought of a way out for Yuqin.
That young man is quite decent.
He’s also a business manager at that company and has huge potential for advancement.
He could become the deputy director of the public relations department within a year.
Yuqin would certainly have opportunities there, and the business manager position might just be hers.
Maybe it will even be better than staying at Huating International,” said Wu Li.
Shen Tianfang glanced at Wu Li and couldn’t help but ask, “Tell me the truth, Wu Li, have you promised them something?”
Suddenly, Wu Li’s expression stiffened, and she quickly shook her head, “I haven’t promised anything.
It’s just a few meals if Yuqin decides to go, that’s all.”
“Really?” Shen Tianfang looked skeptical, “I guess you must have promised them something else.”
“Oh come on, I’m just considering Yuqin’s marriage prospects.
Do you have to glare at me like that?” Wu Li glared back fiercely at Shen Tianfang.
Shen Tianfang said somewhat angrily, “I knew you promised them that.
I’m telling you, I won’t interfere in Yuqin’s love life, and you shouldn’t either.
If I find out you’re up to something, don’t blame me if I turn my back on you.”
“Old Shen, I’m doing this for the sake of our family, right?
I’ve met the young man.
He’s handsome, educated, wealthy, and has a promising career ahead of him.
He’s a perfect match for our Yuqin,” Wu Li said.
“Enough, you don’t need to worry about Yuqin’s affairs,” Shen Tianfang said impatiently.
Wu Li’s eyes lit up as she suddenly thought of something and said to Shen Tianfang, “Right, Old Shen, there’s another way.
Even if we don’t let that young man introduce a job to her.
You could trouble Ye Chenfeng, have him speak to Boss Fang from Space.
With Yuqin’s abilities, she could easily be a deputy director.”
“No way, she definitely can’t go to that place,” Shen Tianfang immediately rejected the idea.
“What do you mean ‘that place’?
Isn’t Lulu working there?
Oh, Shen, do you have some sort of problem with Lulu?” Wu Li asked accusingly.
Shen Tianfang showed an embarrassed smile, realizing he had misspoken and quickly said, “No, it’s not that Space isn’t an option.
It’s just how could I possibly trouble Chenfeng?
We’ve already bothered him so much, and this apartment was given to us by him,” Shen Tianfang said somewhat sheepishly.
“What’s the big deal?
It’s very likely we’ll be family soon,” Wu Limei said with a coy smile.
Shen Tianfang was taken aback, but then his face lit up with joy.
He asked uncertainly, “Do you mean Yuqin and Chenfeng?”
Wu Li rolled her eyes at him, “Yuqin and Chenfeng?
I mean Lulu and him, okay?
Lulu told me recently that Ye Chenfeng approached her, it seems like he has intentions of pursuing her.”
“What a joke?
It’s impossible for Lulu and Chenfeng,” Shen Tianfang said.
He would believe it if Ye Chenfeng were after Shen Yuqin, but the idea of him chasing Wang Lulu was something he could never believe.
“Why is it impossible?
Lulu told me herself that Ye Chenfeng sought her out and said all kinds of nice things about her.
How is it not possible?
Would he make it up for no reason?” Wu Li retorted.
Thinking it over, Shen Tianfang felt there might be truth to it.
Although Wang Lulu had a style similar to Wu Li, prone to making groundless accusations, Ye Chenfeng must have approached her; this was very likely a fact.
The rest, however, needed further consideration and might very well be Lulu’s own fabrication.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening erupted.
“Has Lulu come back?” said Wu Li while looking towards the door.
But they saw Ye Chenfeng and Shen Yuqin walking in with beaming smiles of happiness.
“Chenfeng?” Shen Tianfang was clearly surprised, but he nodded in approval.
Ye Chenfeng and Shen Yuqin looked perfectly suited standing together.
If it were Ye Chenfeng and the heavily made-up Wang Lulu, Shen Tianfang didn’t even want to imagine.
“Uncle Shen, I haven’t come to visit you for a long time,” Ye Chenfeng said with a smile, ignoring Wu Li on the side.
“Little Ye, you’re here.
Your aunt and I were just talking about you,” Wu Li said, forcing her way into the conversation seeing that Ye Chenfeng was ignoring her.
Ye Chenfeng glanced at her, nodded his head, and uttered an indifferent “Oh.”
Wu Li really felt like she was dying of embarrassment and could only manage to force a slight smile: “Little Ye, Yuqin, please sit down.
I’ll go get you some water and wash some fruit.”
Seeing Wu Li being so considerate, Shen Tianfang’s face relaxed quite a bit.
Otherwise, the atmosphere was always very awkward whenever he visited, which made Shen Tianfang feel quite uncomfortable.
“Yuqin, aren’t you working today?
How come you came back with your Brother Ye?” Shen Tianfang asked.
Shen Yuqin replied, “I’ve been with Brother Ye all day today.
We just had lunch together, and Brother Ye came specially to see you.”
“Good, good, good,” Shen Tianfang repeated the word thrice, his face almost blooming with joy.
Hearing that Shen Yuqin had been privately with Ye Chenfeng all the time, Shen Tianfang felt much more at ease.
The rumors of Ye Chenfeng pursuing Wang Lulu naturally fell apart, giving Shen Tianfang no reason not to be happy.
Wu Li, in the kitchen, naturally heard everything and shivered inwardly.
Wasn’t it obvious that there was something between Ye Chenfeng and Shen Yuqin?
Where did her daughter stand in this?
“Little Ye, here, have some water.
And some fruit.
Yuqin, you too,” Wu Li couldn’t be warmer.
“Thank you,” Ye Chenfeng and Shen Yuqin said in unison.
But there was a distance implied in that thank you.
“Yuqin, have you finished work?” Wu Li couldn’t help asking, trying to confirm her suspicions.
At this moment, Shen Tianfang also realized something.
Shen Yuqin coming back so early couldn’t really be because she was laid off from her company as Wu Li had speculated, could it?
So, as Wu Li asked, Shen Tianfang grew anxious, his breathing quickened, and he pricked up his ears to hear Shen Yuqin’s reply.
“No, the manager let me off early today,” Shen Yuqin said, unaware of Shen Tianfang and Wu Li’s concerns and replied nonchalantly.
“Thump!”
