So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 1350: Mother Yang’s Request / Seize the Opportunity

“Oh, you are talking about this?” Dong Jun said with a smile, “Mount Jing’s license starts with the word ‘Jing.’ Unlike our Northern Song Province, Song Jiang’s car license plate is ‘Song B.’ The auspicious numbers are just so few. They are all taken by the bosses with connections. Relatively speaking, Mount Jing has better number selections, and it is easier to get a good license plate number.”

“It turned out to be like this.” Yang Ming nodded after listening. “I thought senior apprentice didn’t care about this.”

“I’m just seeking it to be auspicious.” Dong Jun laughed happily. “But junior apprentice has quite some connection. You can get the license plate, Song B88B88. Your senior apprentice is jealous.”

“My friend got it,” Yang Ming said. “Yours is also not bad, Jing E33333.”

After some chatting, the car went to the expressway, and Yang Ming stopped talking and closed his eyes. When Dong Jun saw Yang Ming taking a break, he closed his mouth.

After the expressway from Song Jiang to Donghai was renovated, the car could accelerate. The journey only took about an hour.

After sending Yang Ming and Fang Tian to the security checkpoint, Dong Jun also left.

Yang Ming didn’t have time to meet Sun Jie. This trip was a bit tight. Although there was still more than an hour before boarding the plane, it was always better not to delay it.

However, Yang Ming still made a phone call to Sun Jie and told her that he needed to go abroad. Now, he was at Donghai International Airport, but he couldn’t make it in time to see her.

Sun Jie heard that Yang Ming would need to go abroad for a certain matter, but she did not ask him what he was about to do. Nowadays, she rarely asked about Yang Ming’s matters. This man had grown up from a boy who became shy from seeing her at first into a man who could protect her.

Only when Yang Ming really encountered any troubles and needed to discuss with her would Sun Jie help him by giving suggestions. At other times, Sun Jie would try not to show off herself in front of Yang Ming.

Sometimes, being an obedient little woman was also a blissful thing.

“Be careful at all times. Contact me after your arrival. Let me know that you are safe.” Sun Jie instructed Yang Ming, like a little wife who sent her husband away.

“En, I will call you when I get there.” Yang Ming said, “You shouldn’t be too tired. If our business in Donghai is overwhelming, we can have Hou Zhenhan take over. He has basically handed over the Song Jiang business to Bao Sanli. Over the years, Bao Sanli has also gained some experience.”

“That’s a good thing. Uncle Sun San is so old. I can’t bear to have him busy with work alone, so I have been helping him and haven’t yet returned to Song Jiang.” Sun Jie said after listening to Yang Ming’s words. “It is, of course, better if he can come over.”

“Alright, I will arrange for it when I come back.” Yang Ming didn’t want Sun Jie to stay in Donghai by herself. He hadn’t seen her for a long time; he definitely missed her.

“Then, I will wait for you to come back, and I will be free afterward.” Sun Jie smiled.

After calling Sun Jie, Yang Ming suddenly remembered that he had not informed his parents that he was leaving. He couldn’t help but feel guilty! Ever since Yang Ming came back from Africa, he only talked to his parents over the phone. He did not have the opportunity to return home, and he had to leave again.

Although his parents now had jobs and lived a fulfilled life every day, Yang Ming knew that they were delighted to see him visit them every time.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming quickly called his father.

“Big Ming?” Yang Dahai was in a meeting at the company and received a call from Yang Ming.

“Dad, I have to go out for a while. Maybe it will take half a month.” Yang Ming was really embarrassed. He had indulged his time with Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun, and he had forgotten to go home.

“Oh? Weren’t you just back recently? How come you’re heading out again?” Yang Dahai asked in surprise.

“En, there are some things that must be dealt with,” said Yang Ming.

“Alright, you should be careful. Contact us again after you come back. We haven’t eaten together for a long time.” As Yang Dahai spoke until here, he sighed. He was pleased deep down in his heart that his son became capable. However, he felt empty for not being able to see his son at home sometimes.

He didn’t know if it were better for Yang Ming to be idle at home and learn nothing during high school or for him to be successful now. This was a very difficult thing to compare. Yang Dahai felt conflicted.

“En, I got it. After I come back, I will visit you and mom,” said Yang Ming.

“Also, give your mom a call; talk to her,” said Yang Dahai.

“I will give her a call now.” Yang Ming quickly responded.

Hanging up his father’s phone call, Yang Ming called his mother.

Mother Yang was now a property manager. She was not very busy every day, but she had a great life. Especially after the property company was acquired by the Ming Yang Security Company a few days ago, Mother Yang’s life was even better.

Rumors spread that the Ming Yang Security Company’s boss, Bao Sanli, and her son were blood brothers, so everyone in the company respected Mother Yang very much. Sometimes, when Mother Yang came to the head office, the head office CEO would be respectful to her, which was really enjoyable for Mother Yang.

“Big Ming? Why are you suddenly calling Mom?” Mother Yang had a feeling of pride when she mentioned her son in the property company. Others also envied Mother Yang having a successful son.

Now, everyone in the property knew that Mother Yang’s son and the CEO of the Ming Yang Security Company, which was the parent of the Ming Yang Property Company, were blood brothers. With this relationship, Mother Yang had a great time.

In the past, many of her colleagues were somewhat dissatisfied that Mother Yang could take on the property manager’s role. Mother Yang had no academic qualifications and no working experience. Those who had connections could even find that she used to be a temporary worker in the community office responsible for hygiene. Later on, she was even fired.

So, there was various gossip about her behind her back. However, since everyone witnessed the manager from the Ming Yang Property Company Headquarter, Di Lei, showing great respect to Mother Yang during the spot check on lower-level employees, everyone immediately shut up.

Mother Yang was someone with a great backer! Especially after they heard that never mind Di Lei, but even Di Lei’s boss, Bao Sanli, was also the blood brother of Mother Yang’s son, Yang Ming. Hence, those who used to gossip behind Mother Yang’s back quickly took the initiative to admit their mistakes with Mother Yang and express their stance.

“Mom, I have to leave for a while. It may take half a month. I just let dad know,” said Yang Ming.

“Oh? Leaving again!” When Mother Yang heard that Yang Ming had to leave again, she was somewhat disappointed. Yang Ming just came back, and he had to leave again before he visited home.

“It can’t be helped. It’s business matters,” said Yang Ming.

“Oh? Then, you shouldn’t delay it too much.” When Mother Yang heard that it was a business thing, she quickly stopped commenting. “Take care of your health. Don’t fall sick.”

“I will be mindful,” replied Yang Ming.

“Right. Big Ming, your Fifth Cousin looked for me a few days ago…” Mother Yang hesitated as she said this.

“Yu Chi? Mom, what does he want from you?” Yang Ming asked. “You just say it directly. I am your son. What is there to hold out from me?”

“Big Ming, your Fifth Cousin didn’t dare to approach you, but he asked me to plead for him. His girlfriend made a mistake in your friend’s company. Can you tell your friend not to fire her?”

When Yang Ming heard this from his mother, he knew that she was speaking for Wang Xiaoran. Yang Ming knew about this matter. Both Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan gave Wang Xiaoran the last chance to admit her mistake, but Wang Xiaoran did not take the initiative to admit it. Only then did Bao Sanli expel her from the company.

“Mom, what do you think?” Yang Ming just wanted to ask what his mother thought about it.

“Yang Ming, we are all relatives. Can you speak in her place and forgive her in this matter? That child knows her mistake. Your Fifth Cousin brought her to visit our house and apologize.” Mother Yang said, “I don’t think the girl looks like a vicious villain. Anyone makes mistakes; forgive them when possible.”

Yang Ming thought, Can you see the nature of someone being good or evil from their face? If it were possible to be seen, the bad guys in the world would have long been arrested.

Yang Ming also knew that his mother was kind, and he sighed, “Mom, have you promised him?”

“Big Ming… please don’t blame your mother.” When Mother Yang heard Yang Ming asking it, she was somewhat troubled. “I think they are quite pitiful. Your Fifth Cousin really likes her, so I hope that you don’t trouble that child. So, I agreed to it in your stead.”

“Since you have said so, even if I don’t give face to Fifth Cousin, but you are my mother. I still have to listen to you.” Yang Ming said helplessly, “Let’s do this. I will call Bao Sanli.”

“That’s great. I am also very happy to see these two children having a good relationship.” Mother Yang said with pleasure. “Who wouldn’t make a mistake? It will be alright as long as she rectified her mistake!”

Chapter 1355: Seize the Opportunity

Although Yang Ming felt that it was unfair to Jing Xiaolu if Wang Xiaoran were not fired, her mother had requested this from him. Could he not give her face?

If he disregarded others, he still had to give face to his own mother!

Yang Ming could only agree to it, but it depended on Wang Xiaoran’s luck. If she were still unrepentant, Yang Ming wouldn’t tolerate her anymore if she were to do something unforgivable.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming said, “Mom, but only for this one time. If she makes any mistakes again, I can’t do anything about it.”

“Only once will do. I think this child is also willing to rectify her mistake,” said Mother Yang quickly.

It seemed that Yu Chi and Wang Xiaoran did not tell my mother that I’m the company chairman. I didn’t know why they didn’t say that. Did they expect my mom to know and found it needless to mention it, or did they deliberately say nothing? If they deliberately said nothing about it, Yu Chi and Wang Xiaoran still have sound judgments. I can let them off for now.

In fact, why would Yu Chi and Wang Xiaoran act the way Yang Ming had guessed? Yang Ming thought that they knew the secret of his behind-the-scenes identity, and they did not dare to talk casually. In fact, Yu Chi and Wang Xiaoran didn’t even think about that!

When Yu Chi approached the door, he put all his bets on relationship. If he addressed Yang Ming as chairman rather than fifth cousin, wouldn’t it seem distanced? He came here to utilize their relationship as relative, so he would not mention those official positions.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming hesitated. He still had to discuss this matter with Jing Xiaolu first. He was afraid that she would have any second thoughts.

“Yang Ming?” Jing Xiaolu was a little happy. She thought it would take a long time to hear Yang Ming’s voice after being separated from him. She didn’t expect Yang Ming to call her again. Most likely, Yang Ming is now waiting to board, right?

“Xiaolu, are you busy?” Yang Ming was afraid that Jing Xiaolu would be in the midst of discussing the contract, so he asked first.

“I’m not busy. President Bao and I are on the way to the Huihai Business Club.” Jing Xiaolu said, “Is there anything the matter?”

“I have something to discuss with you,” said Yang Ming.

“Something to discuss with me?” Jing Xiaolu was stunned abruptly. Listening to Yang Ming’s sincere tone, Jing Xiaolu almost thought that Yang Ming had made the wrong call! If Yang Ming didn’t call her “Xiaolu” previously, Jing Xiaolu couldn’t believe that Yang Ming would talk to her in such a tone.

“En.” Yang Ming said, “Is it convenient to talk over there?”

“Convenient. It is just President Bao who is driving and me,” Jing Xiaolu said with some delight. Yang Ming’s attitude made Jing Xiaolu feel amazed and happy. She didn’t know what Yang Ming was about to say. However, Yang Ming certainly should value her.

“This is the case. It is about Wang Xiaoran.” Yang Ming said, “Didn’t the company already fire her?”

“En, she was fired a week ago.” Jing Xiaolu said, “She… what about her?”

“Yu Chi, that is, my Fifth Cousin, went to my mom with Wang Xiaoran.” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “My mom sympathized with her and promised to help her. Just now, I gave my mom a farewell call, and I learned about it.”

“Ah! I see. What did aunty say?” Jing Xiaolu asked quickly.

“My mom promised it.” Yang Ming smiled bitterly, “I can’t reject my mother’s words. So, I’m here to talk to you to see if you can allow Wang Xiaoran to go back to work.”

Jing Xiaolu didn’t expect Yang Ming to call her to discuss this! She felt sweet in her heart. This meant that Yang Ming attached great importance to her and took care of her feelings, so he called to discuss it with her. Otherwise, Yang Ming had the right to decide whether or not to let Wang Xiaoran come back to work.

Jing Xiaolu was naturally annoyed by Wang Xiaoran, but since Yang Ming’s mother pleaded for her, Jing Xiaolu certainly didn’t want to bicker with it. She dared not go against Yang Ming’s mother. If she did so, would she still be able to enter the Yang Family?

Thinking of this, Jing Xiaolu smiled with a plan coming into her mind. “Does Auntie know why she was fired?”

“I don’t know; I didn’t ask.” Yang Ming didn’t know why Jing Xiaolu suddenly asked this.

“That’s good. Let me deal with this matter. I will give aunty a satisfactory answer,” said Jing Xiaolu.

“En, then I’m sorry to make you feel wronged this time.” When Yang Ming heard Jing Xiaolu say this, he knew that she agreed to let Wang Xiaoran come back to work.

“If you make me feel wronged, you should invite me to a meal and buy something good for me.” Jing Xiaolu took the opportunity to ask for some benefits from Yang Ming.

“Sure, I will give you all that once I come back. Don’t you want me to accompany you to the classmate gathering? We certainly need to buy clothes before that. During that time, we can just wear it there,” said Yang Ming.

“This is a promise.” Jing Xiaolu was so joyful. She had exchanged so many benefits with a fool, Wang Xiaoran. It was too worth it! Jing Xiaolu hoped that Wang Xiaoran would come back and cause some trouble again so that Yang Ming would care about her one more time.

Previously, Yang Ming would accompany her to attend the class gathering, but he only said that if he had “nothing to do,” then he would accompany her. But what if he had something to do? It was better to be safe than sorry. Jing Xiaolu was still worried about accidents happening.

But the situation turned better now. Yang Ming said that he would accompany her to attend the class gathering and to go shopping. Then, this matter was settled. It certainly would not have any change of plans. Jing Xiaolu was delighted.

“Our pinky promise can’t be changed for a hundred years. Whoever goes back will become a puppy with long white hair all over.” Jing Xiaolu was afraid of Yang Ming reneging and said quickly.

“…” Yang Ming was speechless. “Okay, it’s a pinky promise.”

Although Bao Sanli didn’t want to eavesdrop on the phone call between Jing Xiaolu and Yang Ming, it was inevitable to hear some of the conversation. All along, Bao Sanli was speculating about the true relationship between Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu.

He suspected that Jing Xiaolu was one of Yang Ming’s women. However, when Bao Sanli oversaw the entertainment venue in the past, he had trained a discerning eye. From Jing Xiaolu’s walking posture and figure, Jing Xiaolu should have never experienced sex between a man and a woman.

But, she and Yang Ming were definitely not as simple as ordinary friends. This was even more certain by the hearing Jing Xiaolu acting coquettishly with Yang Ming. However, although he had discerning eyes, nothing was absolute in the world. Bao Sanli might probably make a mistake in judgment.

“Did Brother Yang have any new commands?” Bao Sanli waited for Jing Xiaolu to hang up and asked.

“Yang Ming let Wang Xiaoran come back to work.” Jing Xiaolu said, “Yu Chi pleaded to his aunt and asked his aunt to plead with Yang Ming. Yang Ming was afraid that I would be displeased, so he told me about it. However, would I be so petty-minded?”

Aunt? That must be the Yang Ming’s mother. Thinking of this, Bao Sanli smiled and said, “Xiaolu is certainly not petty-minded. Since Brother Yang has let you handle the matter, you are fully responsible for it.”

Even if Bao Sanli didn’t ask her to be in charge of it, Jing Xiaolu would take the initiative to ask for this. She still had some plans in mind. She wanted to create an opportunity for herself through this. If she seized this opportunity, the road ahead of her would most likely be much easier.

Yang Ming thought for a moment. There was no one else to be called again, so he turned off the phone. Just before they would need to get on board, Yang Ming and Fang Tian packed up and got ready to board.

Jing Xiaolu and Bao Sanli rushed to the Huihai Business Club; they parked the car in the parking lot at the entrance of the hall. Along with them came a Jinbei commercial van with lawyers and staff.

Today, Xu Xiaobin came to the conference room rented in the Huihai Business Club very early. He didn’t know why Liu Jifei was so concerned about this matter today. He brought his lawyers and staff to the office early in the morning and urged them to make some preparations in the business hall earlier.

Is there any preparation for this? The contract is well discussed. It is done once we sign the contract directly.

However, seeing that the staff brought by Liu Jifei were busy setting up the meeting room, Xu Xiaobin thought, This should be about giving the other party a good impression!

Liu Jifei’s staff was preparing vases and tea; even the incense was lit. Isn’t it too exaggerated?
