Chapter 30 Selling Off Her Own Father!
That night, on the large balcony of the third floor of the Residence of Inheritance and Harmony, Yang Pinxian sat enjoying the cool breeze under the moonlight.
Across from her lay the pitch-black Silver Snake Mountain.
A radio placed on the small side table was playing classic songs.
Mom, why are you sitting here alone?
Ye Baoling walked over.
Yang Pinxian turned her head and smiled, I’ve been in the air-conditioned room for too long, so I came out to get some fresh air. Have you eaten?
I had dinner at my grandmother’s house.
Yang Pinxian turned down the volume of the radio and said, It must be exhausting for you to rush around like this every day. Why not come straight home after work and visit your grandmother on weekends? Just tell me what dishes you like, and I’ll have the kitchen prepare them for you. If you prefer some quiet time, you can also have your meals in your own room. There aren’t many rules here, so you don’t need to feel restrained.
Ye Baoling wasn’t ready to change her routine yet. She pulled out a chair and sat down, It’s quite convenient for me to go back with my cousin after work.
Yang Pinxian didn’t dare to pressure her: As long as you’re comfortable and happy.
She pointed to the longan and grapes on the table, Have some fruit.
Ye Baoling didn’t stand on ceremony either. She picked a small bunch of grapes and started eating.
The grapes are very sweet, Mom. Try one—they’re delicious even with the skin on.
She plucked a grape and directly brought it to her mother-in-law’s lips.
Yang Pinxian had never been this intimate with anyone other than her own daughter, but since it was her daughter-in-law offering, she couldn’t refuse. She opened her mouth and ate it.
After eating it, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and her mood lifted.
Every day, grapes are placed on the table, but it never occurred to me to eat them. I had no idea they tasted this good.
Why don’t you usually eat them, Mom?
Apart from her own children, Yang Pinxian seemed to lack curiosity or concern for almost everything else. She had no material desires and very little appetite.
Her life after marriage had been exceedingly dull.
Yang Pinxian smiled and found an excuse: I just never think to eat them.
Ye Baoling laughed, Whenever I sit down, I feel like eating something.
I was like that when I was young too.
What had turned her into this state?
Perhaps it was because she had married a man who didn’t love her.
Yang Pinxian couldn’t share her inner thoughts with anyone else, so she only asked, Has Huaizhang not returned yet?
I haven’t seen him. He’s probably still busy. Lately, he hasn’t been able to sleep at night because of the Dapeng Port matter.
Yang Pinxian naturally knew about it: It’s a pity I can’t be of any help.
Ye Baoling sighed, I can’t help either. I even thought about persuading Granny for him, but with such important matters, she wouldn’t listen to me even if I spoke up.
Yang Pinxian hadn’t expected her son to confide his work troubles to Ye Baoling. It showed that the young couple got along more harmoniously than she had imagined, and she felt deeply comforted.
Grandmother dotes on Huaizhang the most. If even he can’t persuade her, then no one else will be able to. That’s why I don’t dare to say a single word of advice—it wouldn’t make a difference anyway… I wouldn’t want her to misunderstand and think I’m meddling in things that aren’t my business.
After a moment’s thought, Ye Baoling said, Actually, there is one person whose words Granny would definitely listen to.
Yang Pinxian looked at her: Who?
Granny Tong.
Yang Pinxian pondered seriously and realized it might indeed be true.
Ye Baoling then elaborated on her idea to Yang Pinxian.
Yang Pinxian was usually the one who contacted Granny Tong the most, so she was a bit worried: Getting Granny Tong to cooperate won’t be difficult. If we offer sufficient incense money and since this is a good deed, she should agree. I’m just concerned about what if the old lady finds out?
The old lady was cunning as a fox.
Yang Pinxian was afraid of her mother-in-law.
Ye Baoling said, If we follow the plan I’ve laid out, it should be fine. I’ll communicate with Granny Tong in advance when the time comes.
Then I’ll invite Granny Tong over this weekend.
After settling the matter, Ye Baoling smiled and asked Yang Pinxian, Mom, aren’t you worried that Huaizhang’s investment might end up losing money?
Not worried. I believe in him. Besides, the funds currently available in the investment department were all earned by Huaizhang overseas. Even if there are losses, no one should criticize him for it.
Ye Huaizhang was truly fortunate to have such a loving and trusting mother.
Ye Baoling nodded: I also believe he won’t incur losses.
Yang Pinxian’s eyes curved into a smile as she said, Seeing you two getting along so well makes me really happy.
Just as they were talking, Ye Yongqi arrived.
Wow, you two are hiding here chatting without inviting me.
Yang Pinxian affectionately took her daughter’s hand, Why are your hands so cold?
I just had something icy.
You shouldn’t drink too many cold beverages – it’s not good for your spleen and stomach. Yang Pinxian couldn’t help lecturing.
Ye Yongqi quickly changed the subject, Sister Ling, want to go shopping this weekend?
They needed to host Granny Tong over the weekend, though the specific timing wasn’t confirmed yet. Ye Baoling smiled, Sure, we can see whether Saturday or Sunday works better. We can go whenever we’re free.
They chatted until about 10 pm before everyone dispersed.
When Ye Baoling went to bed, Ye Huaizhang still hadn’t returned.
When she woke up early the next morning, he was already up and brushing his teeth in the bathroom.
It seemed he was preparing to go out.
Ye Baoling went over and asked him, Why have you been so busy these past couple days?
A project in Germany is about to be signed, so I’ll be busy for a while. He glanced at her and asked, Has that injury of yours healed?
Which injury?
Ye Baoling realized what he meant, It healed long ago.
The wound healing was originally a very ordinary statement.
But adding the word long now carried a hint of urging?
Twice in seven days – it should be time for the second occasion.
Understanding that he hadn’t been fulfilling his husbandly duties very well, he said, I’ll try to come back early tonight.
Ye Baoling didn’t really care whether he returned early or late – she wasn’t his mother.
Someone with high emotional intelligence like her naturally wouldn’t speak the truth, Okay, come back early.
So it was indeed urging.
Ye Huaizhang glanced at his wife but didn’t say anything more.
She yawned and came over to squeeze toothpaste onto her brush. They stood side by side brushing their teeth in front of the mirror.
As she brushed, she suddenly felt it was strange – when had the two of them become so familiar with each other?
Fortunately, Ye Huaizhang finished brushing quickly and had already left.
After changing clothes and tying his tie, he came over, If Gong Jiahua contacts you again, let me know. I’ll talk to him – you’re my wife.
Don’t! What if he can’t keep secrets?
The rice is already cooked. Are you still afraid of your grandfather and father? If they object, I’ll cut off the supply of South African diamonds to Su Man Jewelry. So he had already figured out how to handle them.
Ye Baoling wasn’t worried about cutting ties with the elder branch of the family – what concerned her was that she might not obtain the Ugly King Jade Pendant.
I don’t want them to know right now.
Why not? Am I embarrassing you? Ye Huaizhang couldn’t understand.
Ye Baoling lied: I want to mend our relationship first before bringing it up.
Is there any need to repair relationships with family members who would drug you and force you to marry Lu Tianyou?
Stay out of my business.
… Ye Huaizhang was speechless. He slightly opened his mouth as if to say something but ultimately held back.
Ye Baoling felt uneasy: Whatever you do, don’t confess anything to Gong Jiahua. Anyway, I’ve already told him I have a boyfriend. Hopefully he’ll back off knowing it’s hopeless.
Understood.
He said nothing more, straightened his tie, and went out first.
*
In the office, to comfort Uncle Yuan and Sister Mei over their minor losses in stock trading, Wang Simin specially bought some pastries to treat them.
She had prepared a portion for Ye Baoling as well.
Having already eaten breakfast, Ye Baoling couldn’t eat anymore and gave hers to Liu Haonan.
Liu Haonan had helped her with stock trading and earned over ten million, taking a commission of 330,000 for himself—equivalent to seven or eight years of an ordinary person’s salary. Yet his low-key and dispirited demeanor didn’t resemble someone who had just made a fortune at all.
Uncle Yuan even teased him: I lost almost a thousand. How much did you lose, Ah Nan?
Sister Mei also looked over.
As fellow stock market losers, seeing others lose more than oneself can lift the spirits.
Liu Haonan yawned: Didn’t lose anything.
Uncle Yuan and Sister Mei both laughed, not believing him, thinking he was just being stubborn.
He must have lost too much and was too embarrassed to admit it.
Ye Baoling was busy typing and sending faxes all morning, with no time to chat with everyone.
Approaching noon, Qi Yuxiu arrived.
She gently clapped her hands, Everyone, pause your work for a moment.
Ye Baoling looked up and noticed a young man in a suit standing behind her.
This is our newly appointed logistics department supervisor, Zhang Laichi. Let’s give him a welcome.
Everyone applauded in welcome.
Zhang Laichi, around thirty years old with a slick and polished appearance, smiled as he greeted everyone, appearing very humble. I’ve just joined Ye Qingtang. I’ll appreciate your guidance in the future.Subsequently, Zhang Laichi detailed his ‘impressive’ resume: he graduated from university preparatory school and had worked at several major companies…
Finally, he didn’t forget to assert his authority: Working under me is very simple—do your utmost in every task and earn the salary you receive. If you don’t perform well, don’t blame me for being unsympathetic. For those who do well, I’ll definitely seek opportunities for promotions and raises from Manager Qi.
Everyone applauded again. Wang Simin clapped while turning to exchange a glance with Ye Baoling.
After the leaders entered the office, Wang Simin whispered to her, Trying to suppress us on one hand and flatter Manager Qi on the other—he’s no pushover.
Ye Baoling completely agreed.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Laichi called Ye Baoling into his office.
Graduated from secondary four, been here less than a month, still in the probation period, right?
Yes.
What are your main responsibilities now?
Typing, photocopying, faxing, and helping other senior staff with tasks they can’t handle.
Zhang Laichi nodded, So… basically odd jobs?
Ye Baoling smiled politely: You could say that.
You’ll have a hard time passing the probation assessment like this. I’m reassigning your duties. As he spoke, Zhang Laichi handed her a folder. This contains the cleaning staff roster for the janitorial department and the restroom distribution map for each floor. Starting today, you’ll be responsible for the cleaning operations throughout the entire Jade Dragon Building.
Ye Baoling hadn’t expected the new assignment to come so quickly. Just me alone? Wasn’t this Sister Mei and A Guang’s responsibility?
The work isn’t complicated. You just need to supervise the janitorial department’s work. However, you must ensure that all department floors remain free of trash, desks stay clear of paper scraps, and toilets never get clogged…
This was clearly targeted harassment.
That old fox Qi Yuxiu couldn’t act directly, so she sent her newly acquired underling to deal with her.
No matter how well she performed from now on, they would always find fault and wouldn’t easily let her pass the probation period.
Ye Baoling smiled. Manager Zhang, with so many departments and employees in the company, nobody can guarantee floors will always be trash-free, desks completely clear of paper scraps, or toilets never clogged. I can only work according to company standards. The janitorial department has its own standards, and I’ll certainly strive to meet the company’s requirements. But regarding the standards in your and Manager Qi’s minds, I hope they aren’t so vague and absolute. It would be best to have detailed metrics.
Detailed metrics?
Clearly Zhang Laichi hadn’t considered this, nor had he expected someone with only middle school education to use such professional terminology.
Ye Baoling maintained her smile. Don’t know what detailed metrics are? Let me use your earlier examples. For instance: how quickly should floor trash be cleaned after appearing; should toilet clogs be categorized by severity, and what’s the acceptable resolution time for each type; should employees be responsible for clearing their own desk scraps during work hours, with cleaning only handled after hours… Since these will serve as assessment criteria, we need specific metrics. Otherwise, if this leads to labor disputes and ends up at the Labor Department, you can’t just say someone failed probation simply because they didn’t meet your personal standards, right?
So sharp-tongued!
Zhang Laichi immediately felt invisible pressure weighing on him. He sneered coldly. Labor disputes? Are you threatening me?
Ye Baoling played dumb. Huh? Manager Zhang, aren’t we discussing work assignments? Hearing you say that puts me under a lot of pressure.
Such sarcastic remarks. Zhang Laichi’s face darkened. Will you accept responsibility for the cleaning work or not?
I’ll accept the assignment, but only under the condition that I work according to existing company standards, not according to managerial whims. Because I can’t guarantee that in a company with so many people working simultaneously, floors will always be trash-free, desks constantly clear of scraps, and toilets never clogged—unless the company operates with zero staff. If we’re not following existing company standards, please provide detailed metrics to regulate our work.
For every sentence he spoke, she could fire off four or five responses, each logically sound and irrefutable.
Zhang Laichi finally understood why Manager Qi hadn’t dealt with her personally.
This was one tough nut to crack.
He forced an awkward smile. Fine, understood. I’ll establish the specific metrics first.
About half an hour later, after painstakingly detailing the metrics, Zhang Laichi called her into his office again.
.After carefully reviewing the requirements, Ye Baoling said, Manager Zhang, I can execute these standards.
That’s good.
Zhang Laichi breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been terribly afraid that his first assignment would be tripped up by a woman who only graduated from the fourth form.
But in her next sentence, her tone shifted. However, you need to assign me additional staff—hire at least 30 more cleaners. Also, increase the number of toilet unclogging specialists.
In other words, the cleaning staff would more than double.
Why do we need so many extra hands?
Ground litter can’t remain for more than 3 minutes, and clogged toilets must be cleared within 5 minutes. Just these two requirements are stricter than those at the White House. With the current workforce, it’s impossible to meet them. Right now, one cleaner is responsible for two floors, and they usually handle toilet blockages themselves, only calling external specialists if they can’t manage. To achieve your ideal state, we need at least two additional cleaners per floor to ensure someone patrols the company every three minutes. As for toilet unclogging specialists, there’s no time to wait for external help—5 minutes isn’t even enough for them to arrive. With 30 floors and dozens of restrooms, we need a dedicated team of unclogging specialists on standby around the clock. Ye Baoling handed the standards list back. I suggest you discuss the staffing increase with HR first, Manager Zhang, before we proceed.
Zhang Laichi was furious. If you can’t handle this job, you can resign.
It’s not that I can’t—no one could. Before I came in, I dropped two paper balls outside your office. It’s been 10 minutes since I entered. Ye Baoling opened the office door, and sure enough, the two paper balls were still sitting there.
Look! Manager Zhang, it’s been 10 minutes and no one has cleaned up this trash. Should we address the colleagues currently responsible for cleaning?
Zhang Laichi: …
Half an hour ago, I also dropped two paper balls outside the department office. Would you like to check if they’re still there after all this time?
Without waiting for Zhang Laichi’s response, Ye Baoling called out, Simin, are the two paper balls still at the door?
Soon, Wang Simin, who was cooperating with her, shouted back, They’re still here.
Zhang Laichi: …
Closing the office door, Ye Baoling returned to her original spot standing. Manager Zhang, will you still assign the cleaning responsibilities to me?
Zhang Laichi suppressed his anger; he couldn’t let Qi Yuxiu think he couldn’t handle such a small matter.
He stood up, placing one hand on his hip. You’re still in charge, just follow the current standards. I’m not targeting you personally; I just want to raise the standards so leadership can see your capabilities.
Thank you, Manager Zhang. I’ll work hard and not let you down. Ye Baoling wore a standard smile.
Zhang Laichi was fuming but had to maintain his smile.
After leaving the manager’s office, Ye Baoling also felt troubled. In the future, she’d have to run around upstairs and downstairs, and she might run into members of the Ye family. What should she do?
She needed to think of a solution.
In the main house of the Ye family’s eldest branch, Ye Qizu, who rarely stayed home, was in the study discussing work with Ye Kaisen.
After Su Man Jewelry announced its performance, its stock price plummeted.
Ye Kaisen said, The fund from Eagle Securities is taking the opportunity to sell off. The capital we prepared isn’t enough to absorb it all.
Ye Qizu knew that Ye Kaisen wanted to complain about Ye Kaimin taking advantage of the crisis for personal gain, disregarding the company’s stock price to line his own pockets.
Even though Ye Qizu had warned Ye Kaimin in advance, it proved useless. He was seething with anger internally but didn’t want to reprimand his own son in front of his nephew.
Poor performance is the real issue!
Ye Kaisen explained, Over the past two years, both Zhoushengsheng and Gezhi Jewelry from the Third Branch have been aggressively seizing our market share. Maintaining our current performance is already the best we can do…
Faced with the steadily declining performance, Ye Qizu was deeply concerned. As a century-old established brand, losing to shops that have only been open for a few years—where do we even put our dignity?
Ye Kaisen said, That Ye Huaizhang from the Third Branch doesn’t understand the rules. With so many businesses he could have started, he had to open a jewelry store and compete with us for market share. Losing to him—I really can’t accept it.
What’s the use of not accepting it? The market is open; anyone can do business. Ye Huaizhang bought a diamond mine, and it’s already quite generous of him to supply us at lower prices.
That was indeed true.
Ye Kaisen remained resentful. Let’s think of a way in the second half of the year to see if we can turn the situation around.
After discussing work, once Ye Kaisen left, Ye Kais and his wife entered.
Noticing the couple’s awkward and conflicted demeanor, Ye Qizu asked impatiently, What’s wrong?
Liang Meiyun tugged at Ye Kais’s sleeve. You tell him.
Only then did Ye Kais speak. On the night of your birthday, someone saw Bao Ling and a man sneaking out from the back garden late at night.
Ye Qizu frowned. What are you implying?
Liang Meiyun said, We suspect that Bao Ling and someone else were the ones who sent Baoshun into Lu Tianyou’s room.
Enough! Ye Qizu shot a cold glance at his daughter-in-law. He disliked women speaking to him over their husbands. Ye Kais, you speak.
Ye Kais said, This morning, Meiyun overheard the servants whispering. On the night of your birthday, someone saw a figure who looked like Bao Ling and a man sneaking down the western staircase and slipping out through the back garden.
Looked like? Ye Qizu waved his hand dismissively. Don’t come to me with baseless speculation.
He was already furious about the previous incident where Baoshun was wrongly implicated.
Lately, with Su Man Jewelry’s stock price plummeting like this, he was extremely irritable.
If you came in just to talk about this unsubstantiated matter, don’t say any more. Both of you, leave.
Liang Meiyun was filled with resentment, but she didn’t dare confront the old master directly. In the end, she had no choice but to follow her husband out.
Once the study was quiet again, Ye Qizu looked up at his attendant, A Xing. How did Bao Ling leave that day?
Xing Shu replied, The young mistress came back the next morning looking for her bracelet. I remember she said she took a taxi back to the Gu residence.
Ye Qizu asked again, Did anyone see her leave that night?
Xing Shu shook his head. No. The young mistress left quite late. There should have been someone guarding the entrance, but no one saw her leave.
Why didn’t you mention this earlier?
I was afraid the gatekeeper might have been careless and missed her leaving.
Ye Qizu pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. He glanced at A Xing again and noticed his hesitation. Is there something else?
Only then did Xing Shu tell Ye Qizu what his wife had overheard at Abundant Moon Tower the previous night.
Bao Ling paid a thug to learn lock-picking?
Combined with the complaint Ye Kais and his wife had just made…
Could it be that Bao Ling, together with some thug she had a special relationship with, moved Baoshun into Lu Tianyou’s room?
Ye Qizu was growing restless.
Go investigate that locksmith and find out exactly what happened.
Alright, I’ll go right away. Xing Shu responded and left.
Around 5 PM, Ye Baoling received a page from her father asking her to call back immediately.
When she returned the call, Ye Kaimin told her to come back to the Ye residence at once.
From his tone, Ye Baoling sensed that something was wrong.
As soon as work ended, Ye Baoling first returned to her old home. After a detailed conversation with Wei Zaiqiang, she brought Chen Yulan back to the main ancestral house.
With Chen Yulan by her side, she felt somewhat more at ease.
In the study on the third floor of the Hall of Flourishing Harmony, a quick glance revealed five or six people seated around. Besides her grandfather and father, there were also her second uncle and aunt.
Ye Baoling immediately spotted the owner of Lin’s Hardware Store—Locksmith Master Lin—sitting at the edge.
Upon seeing her, Master Lin hurriedly stood up.
Was it her? Ye Kaimin asked.
Master Lin nodded repeatedly, unsure whether he should smile, and said, Yes… it was this young lady.
Ye Qizu instructed, Please escort this master out for now.
Xing Shu moved to lead Master Lin out.
But Ye Baoling reached out to stop them: Master Lin, please stay for now. We still need you here.
Master Lin froze in place, caught in a dilemma.
Ye Kaimin was the first to confront her: Why did you learn lock-picking? Spending fifteen hundred to learn lock-picking—are you that rich?
I didn’t learn it.
You didn’t learn it? Then who did?
You should ask the locksmith. Ye Baoling walked up to Master Lin. Master Lin, did I learn how to pick locks?
Master Lin was a bit confused and shook his head: You didn’t learn it.
Then who did?
He answered honestly: That young man.
Did you hear that? It was that young man who learned lock-picking, not me.
Everyone was bewildered, eager to know what was really going on.
Liang Meiyun nudged her husband with her elbow, and Ye Kais quickly questioned: But Master Lin said you were the one who went to learn and paid the money.
At the same time, Ye Kaimin asked: Who is that young man?
He’s Wei Zaiqiang, a neighbor from my maternal grandmother’s place. We grew up together. Yesterday, he asked me for a favor—to pretend that I was the one learning lock-picking when it was actually him. He gave me the money for the lessons in advance. I casually tried learning at the scene but didn’t get it, so naturally, he took over and learned successfully.
Master Lin suddenly understood: So it was that young man who wanted to learn? No wonder. I thought the young lady didn’t seem like someone who’d want to learn lock-picking.
Ye Kaimin breathed a sigh of relief inwardly; he had been terribly afraid his daughter would implicate him.
But in front of the family, he couldn’t show it and only continued to press: Why did that Wei Zaiqiang want to learn lock-picking?
Ye Baoling said to the locksmith: Master Lin, you may leave now.
Master Lin, who had been hoping to stay and enjoy the drama, reluctantly departed.
Why did that guy surnamed Chen want to learn lock-picking? Ye Kaimin asked again.
Ye Baoling shook her head: I’m not sure. He works in the guild, and it’s not appropriate for me to ask too much. If you want to know, you can ask him yourselves.
Ye Kaimin: Why did he ask you for help?
Ye Baoling: He said I look like a wealthy person who’d pay generously, so the locksmith wouldn’t suspect anything. Plus, he offered me a reward. I had no reason not to help.
How much reward could he give you? Are you that short on money?
Yes.
Isn’t the bank card in your possession?
I’m used to being poor. The sight of money blinds me.
!!!
Every retort was a sharp comeback, and Ye Kaimin was fuming.
But at least she hadn’t been the one learning lock-picking.
Ye Kaimin turned to look at his father.
Ye Qizu, who had remained silent the whole time, still said nothing.
Liang Meiyun couldn’t hold back any longer and asked: Baoling, on the night of your grandfather’s birthday, didn’t you play pool with Baoshun and the others until almost eleven? How did you get back after that?
I took a taxi. You already asked me that before. What’s the matter now?
Liang Meiyun said, But there was someone on duty at the main gate seeing guests off at the time, and no one saw you leave.
Everyone looked over. Without batting an eye, Ye Baoling replied, Ye Huaizhang was also playing billiards with us. I left in his car…
That contradicted her earlier statement!
Liang Meiyun immediately asked, Didn’t you take a taxi back to the Gu residence?
Yes, but Ye Huaizhang is incredibly stingy. He said he had something to do and could only drop me off at the intersection. After that, I took a taxi back myself. If you don’t believe me, you can call and ask him. Ye Baoling looked utterly innocent. You can ask both Wei Zaiqiang and Ye Huaizhang.
She had already coordinated their stories and wasn’t afraid of being questioned.
After finishing, Ye Baoling complained loudly, What is this, interrogating a thief? Did something go missing at home? Why are you only questioning me? Do I look like a thief?
Ye Qizu finally spoke up, No one said you look like a thief.
Grandpa, you’re just biased!
Who’s biased?! Those who are biased fear nothing more than being accused of favoritism.
Ye Qizu had defended himself countless times—he wasn’t biased.
You spent millions buying luxury cars and racehorses for Baoshun. What did I get? My dad said you favor boys over girls and play favorites!
Ye Kaimin: !!!
He never expected his daughter to actually sell him out.
Meanwhile, Ye Qizu’s face instantly turned green with anger.
Liang Meiyun wanted to interject but couldn’t get a word in. The direction of today’s interrogation had taken a bizarre turn.
Author’s Note:
Ye Huaizhang: Been waiting forever. Why hasn’t anyone called me yet?
Ye Kais: Hold on, I’m already confused.
Ye Qizu: I am not biased, damn it!
Ye Kaimin: Betraying your own father for glory!
