696: Chapter 696 [Who Doesn’t Have Secrets?] 696: Chapter 696 [Who Doesn’t Have Secrets?] Suddenly, Shen Tianfang and Wu Li felt a sudden sinking in their hearts.
What they had feared had come true, just as Wu Li had predicted, Shen Yuqin had let the company lay her off.
“What’s wrong?
Is there something the matter?” Shen Yuqin noticed the odd behavior of the two and couldn’t help but ask.
“No…
no problem!” Wu Li hurriedly covered up, but then exchanged a glance with Shen Tianfang, their mutual concern evident in their eyes.
Shen Yuqin didn’t pay attention to Wu Li and instead looked at Ye Chenfeng with a smiling gaze.
Shen Tianfang chatted leisurely with Ye Chenfeng while Wu Li kept giving signals on the side, but Shen Tianfang acted as if he didn’t see them at all.
In the end, Wu Li had no choice but to interrupt, “Auntie Ye, can I ask you something?”
Wu Li’s tone was exceptionally gentle and kind as if she feared that Ye Chenfeng would get angry.
“Hmm, ask away.” Ye Chenfeng replied indifferently; he had never had a good impression of Wu Li.
After glancing at Shen Tianfang, Wu Li couldn’t help but say, “Ye, you should still be in touch with Fang He from Yege Yang, right?”
“Yes, I’ve been in contact with him.” Ye Chenfeng said.
“Then do you know if his Yege Yang is hiring or not?” Wu Li asked.
Ye Chenfeng answered, “I don’t know about that.
Are you looking to apply?
But if you do go there, I guess there would definitely be jobs like dishwashing or cleaning toilets.”
Wu Li was so angry at Ye Chenfeng’s teasing, but she still had to endure it.
“Pfft!”
If Shen Yuqin hadn’t quickly covered her mouth with her hand, she might have laughed out loud.
“Ye, you’re such a joker, of course it’s not for me.
I’m asking about high-level positions, like Finance Manager or Vice President?” Wu Li said.
Ye Chenfeng’s eyebrows rose in interest, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you thinking of introducing for the job?
A Vice President?”
Wu Li glanced at Shen Yuqin and said, “Of course, it’s for Yuqin.
Ye, do you think Yuqin has the ability to become a Vice President at Yege Yang?”
“Me?” Shen Yuqin looked totally bewildered, wondering why on earth they were trying to find her a job.
“Of course, that would be no problem.
But Yuqin has been doing well at Huating International, why would you want to find her another job?” Ye Chenfeng asked perplexedly.
How come he always encountered such weird people?
First Feng Yuqin, then Yang Zhe, and now Wu Li.
There wasn’t the most bizarre, only more bizarre.
“What do you mean, doing well?
Yuqin’s been laid off.” Wu Li blurted out what she believed to be the truth.
“Ah!” Shen Tianfang even cooperated with a sigh.
“When was I laid off?
How come I don’t know about it?” Shen Yuqin was full of question marks and seemed somewhat at a loss sitting there.
Wu Li looked at her and said, “Didn’t you say so yourself?
The leadership asked you to come back, and Huating International is laying off staff today, so you must have been laid off.”
“Where did you hear the news that our company was laying people off?” Shen Yuqin asked in exasperation.
“I inquired about it long ago from someone else.
I even discussed your work situation with your dad for an entire afternoon,” Wu Li said.
“Pfft!”
Ye Chenfeng finally couldn’t hold back his laughter, and Shen Yuqin also laughed, albeit helplessly, completely amused by the ridiculous situation.
“Ye, Yuqin, why are you laughing?” Wu Li asked, perplexed, while even Shen Tianfang looked over curiously.
Ye Chenfeng smiled and said, “It’s true that Huating International downsized, but Yuqin wasn’t on the list.
Not only that, but Yuqin also got promoted.”
“Not laid off?
And she got promoted?” Shen Tianfang and Wu Li were completely baffled.
“That’s right, and it’s like a rocket-powered promotion.
Yuqin is now the director of the PR department, and she might even start her own company in the future.” Ye Chenfeng praised, while Shen Yuqin beside him shyly lowered her head.
“The director of the PR department?” Shen Tianfang exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Wu Li felt an impulse to go crazy: “The kind of PR director with an annual salary of millions or even several million?”
“Yes, Yuqin is capable, so she is naturally suited for a stage that fits her development.
I believe the position of PR director is just a beginning.” Ye Chenfeng said.
“You scared me to death, Yuqin, you’re really amazing.
Auntie is so proud of you.” Wu Li said excitedly.
Now, a huge weight fell from Shen Tianfang’s heart, and he glared at Wu Li with anger, “You women gossip all day.
If my daughter, who is so excellent, were to be laid off, it would definitely mean the leaders were blinded.
Hmph, what business manager, what deputy director, can they compare to my daughter?
My daughter wouldn’t give them a second glance.”
Seeing Shen Tianfang getting worked up, Wu Li could only keep her mouth shut obediently, taking Shen Tianfang’s metaphorical slaps to the face.
Shen Yuqin also instantly understood that it was Wu Li who had been spreading rumors.
Luckily she came back, or else the neighbors and townsfolk would have had a whole bunch to gossip about.
Her affection for Wu Li instantly plummeted to negative numbers, and she gave Wu Li a fierce glare before ignoring her completely.
Now, Shen Tianfang didn’t believe a word Wu Li said, especially regarding Ye Chenfeng chasing after Wang Lulu.
Shen Tianfang and Ye Chenfeng started chatting about family matters, with Shen Yuqin chiming in from time to time.
Wu Li sat on the side, extremely embarrassed.
It must be said that Wu Li had good instincts; she excused herself to go shopping and left.
She knew they didn’t want her there.
If she stayed, it would only make them dislike her more, so it was better for her to leave.
Once she left the room, Wu Li quietly called Wang Lulu.
“Mom, what’s up?
I’m in a meeting.” Wang Lulu sounded somewhat impatient.
“You mean Ye Chenfeng is courting you, right?”
“Yeah, Mom, about that night…”
Wu Li cut her off: “Never mind, you don’t have to explain, you’ve all been lying to me.
Let me tell you, Ye Chenfeng is at our house right now.”
“Really?” Wang Lulu immediately got excited.
“Yes, but he’s been with Shen Yuqin the whole time, seems like for a whole day.
I think there’s something going on between the two of them.” Wu Li speculated.
“What?
Could it be that everything he told me that night was a lie?” Wang Lulu panicked: “Mom, I’m coming back right away.
I must fight for my happiness.”
…
“Uncle Shen, your leg…” Ye Chenfeng suddenly brought up Shen Tianfang’s leg.
A flicker of something passed through Shen Tianfang’s eyes: “Forget it, it’s an old problem.”
“Dad, I heard that Brother Ye has some medical skills.
Why don’t you let him take a look?” Shen Yuqin suggested.
But Shen Tianfang kept declining: “No need, it’s been so many years, surely it can’t be cured.
Moreover, I’ve gotten used to it, it doesn’t really affect me.”
Ye Chenfeng just smiled, saying nothing.
Shen Tianfang had secrets, but then again, who doesn’t have a secret or two?
