Chapter 18 Decision
The old man’s confusion deepened upon hearing Ye Shenge’s question, and he shook his head directly.
“Daughter, He Tian in our factory is only in his early twenties and is a temporary worker. He can’t be your cousin; the ages don’t match.”
“Yes, then Uncle, can you tell me about the four team leaders in your factory? Is it possible my cousin is using his old name in the city? After all, my granduncle passed away very early, and my grandaunt remarried with my cousin…”
Ye Shenge’s fabricated story was so convincing that she almost believed it herself, her expression contorted with feigned distress.
By this point, the old man understood everything. Remembering the generosity of the person before him, he quickly opened up.
When she heard about Ye Xingguo, Ye Shenge specifically asked a few more questions, thus getting a clear picture of Ye Xingguo’s situation at the factory.
Despite Ye Xingguo being a scoundrel, his position at the factory was quite secure, and he was well-liked. The old man’s words were full of praise, just like Mrs. Ye, who was good at putting on a show.
Ye Shenge left the guardhouse with a look of disappointment. The old man reluctantly walked her to the door, secretly hoping she would visit more often.
Ye Xingguo got off work at six in the evening, and there were still over three hours left. Ye Shenge couldn’t wait outside the entire time; she only needed to arrive nearby half an hour in advance.
She looked around the vicinity again. Finding nowhere else to go, she entered her space. After a casual wash in the bathroom, she lay down on the large bed. Overwhelmed by sleepiness, she set an alarm and quickly drifted off.
Meanwhile, Ye Yage was thoroughly enjoying the pleasure of shopping. Although the Ye family was a prominent military and political lineage, such families were known for their strict demands on their children. Every month, grandchildren who weren’t working were only allowed ten yuan in pocket money, never an extra cent.
So, Ye Yage’s title was impressive, but she had to save for several months to buy a desired piece of clothing, let alone the need for fabric coupons. Today, she had ample money and coupons, having saved for more than half a year.
Seeing the saleswoman fawning over her like a lackey, her pride was uncontainable. Today, she would show off in the family compound and then go to cultivate her relationship with Brother Han Yuyan.
Han Yuyan, who was being mentioned, was currently in Ye Mu’en’s hospital room, nonchalantly peeling an apple.
“Brother Ye, how is it? Do you feel a sense of good fortune after narrowly escaping death? You’re definitely going to get promoted this time.”
Ye Mu’en had successfully integrated the memories of the original host and felt no resistance towards his childhood friend.
“I’m planning to retire.”
Ye Mu’en’s voice was calm, but it struck the hospital room like a thunderclap.
“What did you say? You’re about to be promoted to deputy regimental commander, have you lost your mind?”
“I’m tired, and I want to live a simple life from now on.”
The original host’s profession was the same as Ye Mu’en’s. In his previous life, he had very little time to spend with his family due to his work. Therefore, upon arriving here, his first thought was to quit his job and use more time to search for his sister and spend time with his family.
Seeing that his old brother was serious, Han Yuyan also became serious.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Han Yuyan took a vicious bite of the apple in his hand, feeling rather dejected.
“What will I do if you leave? We’re both not favored at home. With merit, we could at least get some attention. If you give it up now, you’ll be abandoned by the family, and it will affect Uncle Ye as well.”
