CHAPTER 601: CHAPTER 361: LEAVING IN DISGRACE (PART 2)

It’s strange that nowadays all the workers on the street are wearing camouflage uniforms, and coupled with being in the company of Miao Cuifeng, he naturally mistook these people for employees of domestic service companies. Little did he realize that the woman he thought was timid had already climbed onto the branches of wealth!

Fortunately, his past savings would allow him to live worry-free for the rest of his life. With his son gone, he had no motivation to strive, and if he lost his job, so be it. As for his daughter, even if he acknowledged her, she would someday belong to someone else’s family.

Thinking this, he let out a heavy sigh and tugged at Wang Yanli, whose face color was changing wildly, indicating that they should leave together.

Now Wang Yanli had also picked up on something, glaring jealously at Mrs. Miao before reluctantly following Miao Qimin out.

The young employee who had been sent out by Wang Yanli to buy drinks came back, and upon seeing the two leaving, hurried over to greet them, "President Miao, Manager Wang, I’ve bought the Taonan Road milk tea you wanted..." Seeing that they ignored her and just walked away, she anxiously chased after them, asking, "Where... where are you going...the milk tea..."

Everyone naturally saw this scene, Xing Nong curled her lips and said, "These two have no shame. By the way, Aunt Miao, where is Miaomiao?"

"She’s helping out at the old age home." Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Miao’s face brightened with happiness. "I’ve been in poor health these years; it’s Miaomiao who takes care of me. So, she’s really good at caring for the elderly."

"Qiu’er, you should learn from Miaomiao. With your type, the only thing you can do at the old age home is talk, everything else would be of little use," Luo Ye said, turning to ask Luo Lian, "Lianlian, first we’ll send your furniture over, then we’ll all go to the old age home together, okay?"

Luo Lian nodded, "Just let your classmate know, I must pay for mine, otherwise I won’t buy it here."

Just then, Wu Zetian and Qu Yue, who had finished discussing their business, came over. Hearing Luo Lian’s remark, he smiled and said, "I’m a man of principle. If you were a boy, I might really give it to you for free. But as a girl, to avoid suspicion, I still have to charge a little cost. How about a 40% discount? What do you think?"

Luo Lian nodded, "Fine, I’m not going to be fussy with you. I like people with principles."

"I’m already spoken for, so don’t start liking me, okay?" Wu Zetian exaggeratedly jumped next to Luo Ye, "Right, Luoluo?"

Luo Lian looked at him with a straight face: "Mr. Wu, you’ve misunderstood. The ’like’ I’m talking about is totally different from the ’like’ you’re talking about!"

"I know, just kidding." Wu Zetian then became serious, "You all busy yourselves. I need to go upstairs and take care of some company matters."

After Wu Zetian left, Xing Nong whispered to Luo Ye, "Luoluo, if you’re thinking of getting together with Boss Ye, you can’t be so vague. It’s not good for Male Emperor."

Luo Ye rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Do you really think I have no principles? What he said about being spoken for, he meant my cousin Wen Ke, not me."

"Ah?" Xing Nong looked surprised.

"Ah what? It hasn’t started yet. My cousin asked me to pass on the word, and I’ve spoken to Male Emperor, and he’s agreed to give it a try. As to what happens next, we’ll see how it develops," Luo Ye sighed, "I just hope they find happiness."

"Luoluo, you know my temperament; I’m blunt. I know you’re always careful, but you’re too eye-catching; it’s normal for many people to like you. I actually..." Xing Nong fumbled with her words, not sure how to continue.

Luo Ye poked her, "Don’t overthink it. Some things, once they’re made clear and the stance is established, that’s enough. You know what kind of temperament the other person has, there’s no need to stop being friends over it. That’s something that only childish kids would do."

"Luoluo, are you implying I’m a childish kid?" Xing Nong pouted discontentedly.

Luo Ye gave a sweet smile, "Grandma Yan, your vehicle is ready, Lianlian’s furniture is all set up." She glanced at the employee named Li Yuanyuan, who seemed hesitant to speak, and beckoned her over, "What is it? Just say it."

"Miss Luo, I also used to work at Bai Anju, under Manager Miao..." Li Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "His family was once in a car accident, and his son died in that accident. He... he seems to be unable to have more children."

Li Yuanyuan finally managed to get it all out. She had hesitated a long time but still decided to share this secret, known to all the old-timers at Bai Anju, with Luo Ye as a way of thanking her for standing up for her today.

"I understand, thank you," Luo Ye patted her on the back, pointing at the young employee who was wringing her hands, looking lost, and said, "Go and comfort her. Everyone has a time when they’re new to a job."

"Miss Luo, you are truly kind-hearted," Li Yuanyuan looked at her sincerely, "Among the customers I know, those with any status usually don’t pay attention to us, nor do they care about our feelings.

Also, because we’re not valued, we always try to take on more orders to earn more commission, hoping to save enough money one day to open a small shop of our own, so we don’t have to look at the customer’s face and then the boss’s face. Please don’t take offense at my earlier behavior."

"As long as you’re truly considering the company’s interests and putting in the effort, the boss will take note. Of course, that’s provided you’re working with a wise boss," Luo Ye paused before continuing, "And, working for a wise and capable boss, you will have fewer headaches and earn more than running your own small shop. You can do some market research, and you’ll see that what I’m saying is true."

"Thank you for the advice, Miss Luo," said Li Yuanyuan as she stepped back to comfort the young employee, who still hadn’t grasped what had happened. How could it be that after she went to buy a milk tea, the manager and his wife were no longer working?
