“I didn’t expect you to have gained such significant influence in Hua Hai within less than four months, I’ve been wrong about you all along,” Li Zhaojun said to Ye Fan with a sigh.
Ye Fan spread his hands indifferently, noncommittal.
Li Zhaojun continued, “I just don’t understand why you feel the need to hide your true self in front of ?”
“I think you should prioritize dealing with this matter,” Ye Fan said calmly.
He didn’t want to explain anything to Li Zhaojun, apart from his identity as Black Dragon of the Dragon Group, he had never intentionally hidden anything from her.
In fact, during his days in Hua Hai, he treated everyone in the sa manner, never deliberately showing anyone his remarkable talents.
Others might recognize his rits, but she, Li Zhaojun, remained oblivious, always thinking of him as superficial, juvenile, lazy, incompetent, and vulgar…
among other things.
Who could be blad for this?
Now that she asked him in this manner, it seed she ant to bla him.
Li Zhaojun nodded slightly, “Alright.
I’ll call the police right now.”
“If there’s nothing urgent, I’ll head back to my office,” Ye Fan said, then stood up.
Li Zhaojun watched Ye Fan’s tall figure, her eyes tinged with complexity, and said, “Okay.”
After Ye Fan left the office, Li Zhaojun walked back to her desk, looked at the envelope in her hand that glinted coldly, and then made a call to the police.
Kidnapping is a comparatively serious cri, carrying a minimum penalty of five to ten years’ imprisonnt and a fine; in severe cases, ten years to life imprisonnt, with a fine or confiscation of property.
Based on the recording, although it was attempted kidnapping, Xiao Yichen could be treated leniently, yet he was still sentenced to five years in prison.
In reality, Xiao Yichen was ultimately sentenced to six years in prison.
When Xiao Yichen formally entered prison, the Tongyi Group had already gone bankrupt, and his father, owing to heavy debts, had fled abroad.
Xiao Yichen, having no one to watch over him in prison, owing to his delicate skin and handso face, was violently assaulted on his first night and could not leave his bed for three days…
Ye Fan returned to his office and went online to continue checking the applicant details for the housekeeper job he had posted.
Although it was just a recruitnt for a housekeeper, the one he was looking for was not easy to find, as they had to know how to stew precious dicinal ingredients.
Scrolling through the applications, he finally noticed one that caught his attention.
“Wei Ziling, female, twenty-four, bachelor’s degree in Nutrition Science, knows pharmacology, often makes dicinal als at ho…
Not bad, let’s chat on QQ.”
Hence, Ye Fan found Wei Ziling’s QQ number from the resu and sent a friend request.
He expected a reply by evening at the earliest, yet as soon as he sent the request, the other party imdiately added him back.
Now that they were connected on QQ, Ye Fan imdiately started chatting with her, asking about dicinal al preparation basics and so combinations of precious dicinal ingredients.
Though not schooled in dicine, he had eaten plenty of dicinal als.
He hadn’t eaten pork but had seen pigs walk.
Wei Ziling was able to respond imdiately.
After confirming that Wei Ziling knew about preparing dicinal als, Ye Fan specified on QQ, “The job location is a bit unusual, in a presidential suite at a five-star hotel.
You just need to prepare the dicinal al on ti each day, as hourly work.
Regarding the salary, five thousand a month.”
“Five thousand is too little.
Though it’s hourly work, preparing dicinal als is ti-consuming and laborious, almost a full-ti job,” Wei Ziling replied, “Ten thousand a month.
My work is not only physically demanding but also requires skill.
A housekeeper with knowledge and education like mine is not easy to find.”
Ye Fan replied, “That’s acceptable.
Let’s et tomorrow at noon to discuss further.”
Subsequently, Ye Fan arranged to et Wei Ziling at Dingsheng International Hotel’s leisure café.
At 5:30 p.m., Ye Fan suddenly received a call from Li Zhaojun.
“Today is Friday.
After work, co with to visit Grandpa,” Li Zhaojun said on the phone.
“Okay,” Ye Fan agreed, visiting Mr.
Li was the right thing to do.
After hanging up the phone and before he could put it back, another call ca in.
Seeing the caller ID, Ye Fan couldn’t help but show a bitter smile and thought to himself: Hu Jing’s timing couldn’t be worse.
Answering the call, Ye Fan said with a laugh, “Ha ha, Hu, the great beauty.”
“Tehehe, Ye Fan, got any plans tonight?” Hu Jing’s seductive laugh ca through the phone.
Ye Fan responded with a bitter smile, “I’m busy after work, so I’m afraid I won’t have ti to take you out for dinner.
Maybe another ti, okay?”
“Is that so?” Hu Jing’s voice revealed a touch of disappointnt, then she laughed, “Hehe, no problem.
Last ti I stood you up, this ti you stood up.
Guess we’re even now.”
Ye Fan could hear Hu Jing’s disappointnt and said, “Thanks for your understanding.
Still, I was at fault this ti.
A gentleman shouldn’t stand up a beauty.”
“Hehe, at least you have so conscience.
Others want to take out, and I don’t even want to go,” Hu Jing giggled, “Okay, I still have so work to wrap up here, gotta hang up.
Bye-bye.”
At 5:57 p.m., Ye Fan had already turned off his computer and was waiting to leave work when there was a knock at the door, followed by soone opening it.
Turning his head, Ye Fan saw Li Zhaojun standing at the door.
Wang Siyan reacted quickly, imdiately standing up and asking, “Director Li, what can I do for you?”
Li Zhaojun nodded slightly to Wang Siyan, then turned to Ye Fan and said, “Ye Fan, let’s go.”
Ye Fan stood up, and under Wang Siyan’s shocked gaze, he left with Li Zhaojun.
Entering the elevator, Li Zhaojun took the initiative and said, “I’ve already reported to the police, and they’ve taken my statent.
I just checked online, and Xiao Yichen might be sentenced to around five years.
Ye Fan, thank you.”
“Ha, no need to ntion it,” Ye Fan said indifferently, “Just part of my responsibilities.”
Li Zhaojun’s sexy lips parted, but she didn’t speak.
She felt that Ye Fan’s attitude towards her was more distant than before.
Before she suggested a divorce, Ye Fan was sowhat proactive in their communications, but now it was almost only passive responses.
She took a deep breath and asked calmly, “Where are you staying now?”
“At a hotel,” Ye Fan replied.
“You’ve been there so long, haven’t you found a suitable house yet?” Li Zhaojun asked.
“I find living at a hotel quite comfortable.
No need to clean up myself; it suits a lazy person like ,” Ye Fan replied.
Li Zhaojun wanted to chat more, but the elevator had already stopped and the doors opened.
Next, the two walked out of the elevator and headed to their respective cars.
Half an hour later, Li Zhaojun and Ye Fan reached the second-floor corridor of the small red building and turned right towards Mr.
Li’s residence.
“Wait a mont,” Li Zhaojun called out.
Ye Fan stopped, turned his head, and looked at Li Zhaojun.
Li Zhaojun stood there without speaking, but the ssage was clear; she wanted to hold hands and pretend, just like before.
