Chapter 243: Chapter 243
Ye He Ping was naturally happy to hear that the company was going to hold a party; until he left the office, he still couldn’t quite believe that he was called back just for such a trivial matter, given that it was hard to comprehend, as the security had earlier said the leadership called about an urgent issue.
However, Li Houguo called Ye He Ping over not just for this minor issue, originally to discuss the matter of the two women from the Ye Family joining the company. The child leveraged management connections to get into the company; this matter made Li Houguo uncomfortable after he heard about it. He was about to be stopped, so when Ye He Ping came over, he suppressed the matter, and when Ye He Ping arrived, the matter was not mentioned again.
Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, another week passed. Ye Ling was living here in the bungalow. Zhao Guodong, apart from sending money once, hadn’t come over. Ye Ling learned from Zhang Linong and Wang Ping’s mouths that Zhao Guodong had returned to his hometown, and Ye Ling felt it was rare to have such a quiet time. She even asked Zhang Linong to borrow books from the city’s library. Zhang Linong and Wang Ping didn’t think it was a big deal, but while at the library, they encountered Ye Zhenfen.
Several of the accelerated students in the compound achieved good grades; Ye Zhenfen knew about this. When she saw the children from the compound borrowing books, and upon asking, it turned out to be those accelerated students, she became interested. After the two borrowed the books and left, she took the borrowing slip over and glanced at it, seeing the few books borrowed, she couldn’t help but smile.
"Are these books borrowed by the children from the compound?" Shen Bin’s harsh voice came from behind her, his eyes sweeping over the book slip, just catching sight of the name Zhang Linong.
Ye Zhenfen looked up and saw him come in, couldn’t help but happily say, "When did you come? Oh, I can’t seem to remember, told you to come for the blind date today." Follow current novᴇls on novel•fire.net
She started talking about the book borrowing matter, "In the past, when I asked them to borrow books, I hardly saw any of those children come. Today I happened to see it, and I was wondering what kind of books they borrowed. You see, it’s actually ’Dream of the Red Chamber’, boys who like to read this book are indeed rare."
Shen Bin’s eyes moved slightly, "Maybe borrowing for someone else."
"You knew?" It was rare to see such a cold person knowing this sort of thing; Ye Zhenfen was quite surprised.
Shen Bin didn’t say more about the matter, "Just thinking. Aunt Ye, my unit has things to settle; let’s get down to business."
"You’re such a child." Ye Zhenfen felt a pang seeing Shen Bin so distant from her, but having been in this lover’s position for many years, she kept everything concealed on the surface and immediately restrained her earlier emotions, "Let’s go, follow me upstairs, the person is already here, upstairs. This time you must do well; this girl works in the munitions factory, is a gear designer, quite a good girl, also tall with a sturdy build, you’re not young anymore, should have a child, so after getting married, she can stay at home and take care of the child without you having to worry."
Ye Zhenfen nagged while leading Shen Bin upstairs, the librarian seeing the curator being so talkative, couldn’t help showing a surprised look; besides, their curator usually has a serious expression and only talks about library issues usually, otherwise you won’t hear her speak at all.
They didn’t know what relationship this suited person had with the curator to make her act like a different person.
Zhou Min heard movements in the corridor upstairs, just stood up, and the office door was pushed open to reveal Aunt Ye leading a tall, suited man inside, with a tall posture and a serious face, exuding a particularly masculine air, cold and stern yet just. Zhou Min’s heart skipped a beat upon glanced at him, and when she found the other looking back, she quickly withdrew her gaze, blushing and lowering her head.
When Ye Zhenfen walked in, she had been paying attention to Zhou Min’s reaction, and seeing her shyly show this kind of manner—she couldn’t help but smile as it was clear she was taken by him. This was good; if the person was taken, future interactions would be easier. This could be a successful match.
Shen Bin gave the woman in the room a glance as well; she was indeed tall – he himself was 1.85 meters, and the other was definitely about 1.7 meters. A round face with large eyes, one could say not bad looking and quite robust. He didn’t know why but upon seeing this physique, a slender figure crossed his mind. However, as someone dedicated to his work, Shen Bin quickly snapped back to reality.
"This is Xiao Zhou, Zhou Min, and this is Shen Bin, now a minister, you two should get acquainted." Ye Zhenhua introduced the two and then picked up the thermos, "You two talk, I’ll go fetch water."
"Aunt Ye, let me go." Zhou Min reached over to take the thermos.
Blocked by Ye Zhenfen, "No, no, no, you talk, I’ll go."
Ye Zhenfen laughed, blocking Zhou Min and also made a face at Shen Bin, but Shen Bin’s face remained unchanged. Seeing him , Ye Zhenfen silently sighed, considering him wooden. Knowing it was not the time for more words, she headed out with the thermos.
There were only two people left in the room; Shen Bin was not pretentious, "Comrade Zhou Min, please sit."
Zhou Min nodded and sat back on the chair from earlier. Shen Bin also pulled up a chair to sit down, and they sat facing each other. After all, Zhou Min still felt a bit shy, her hands unintentionally clenching her pants, Shen Bin pretended not to notice and started talking about his situation.
"... Comrade Zhou Min, you now know my situation. I think you should consider carefully. Your conditions are not bad; you can find someone better than me." Shen Bin was just such a person that even his caring words sounded cold when coming from him, not to mention he looked cold and stern.
Now that he mentioned his previous marriage, and ended with such a sentence, it would usually be misunderstood by a typical girl as Shen Bin having no interest in her, or he would be seen poorly due to his poor communication, resulting in dislike. But Zhou Min in front was unfazed.
"Comrade Shen Bin, I know your situation; Aunt Ye has told me, a person’s past is not important, what matters is the present and future. I can see you’re an earnest person." Zhou Min spoke, blushing uncontrollably.
Her words, also indirectly told Shen Bin that she favored him.
Shen Bin was quite surprised, considering that Zhou Min’s present conditions were good, appearances were good, everything was good, and her work was also good, not knowing how many families reached out, especially since working in a company required being a college graduate, and she did design work. Yet she fancied him, divorced and from the countryside. How could Shen Bin not be surprised?
Zhou Min blinked as she saw Shen Bin staring at her without speaking, her heart fluttering, "Comrade Shen Bin, do you think I’m unsuitable for you?" (To be continued.
