Chapter 32 The First Signs of Crisis
Ye Chengyan's expression turned strange, and Yu Baisu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel curious.
"Chengyan, what's wrong?" she asked, trying to glean some information by looking up.
But Ye Chengyan quickly stopped: "It's nothing."
Yu Baisu knew that Ye Chengyan was hiding something, and she was full of curiosity, but unfortunately she couldn't speak up.
It's clearly still related to that woman.
Ye Chengyan needed to return to the company to handle some business, so he didn't have time to accompany Yu Baisu. Although Yu Baisu was unhappy, she wore a considerate smile on her face.
"Work is more important. I'm fine here. You go ahead and get busy, but please take care of yourself. You don't even have time to eat when you're busy."
Yu Baisu comforted him. Ye Chengyan, who had been tidying his suit with his back to the hospital bed, subconsciously responded when he heard these words.
“Yunzhi, I can order meals at the company; you don’t need to deliver them every day…”
Halfway through his sentence, Ye Chengyan turned around and found that the person in front of him was Yu Baisu.
The same words were previously spoken by Yunzhi.
Previously, he was so busy with company affairs that he sometimes forgot to eat. After Yunzhi learned about this, she would prepare lunch for him every day and personally deliver it to his company to make sure he ate.
"What?" Yu Baisu was taken aback, shock flashing across her pupils.
How could Ye Chengyan call Yunzhi by her name?
Ye Chengyan felt somewhat awkward, and Yu Baisu lowered her head, her voice muffled.
"I'm sorry, Chengyan. Am I always causing you trouble, and instead you have to take care of me every day, while I can't do anything for you?"
She seemed to choke up, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.
Every time Ye Chengyan heard Yu Baisu's aggrieved voice, it felt like his heart was being ripped out. He quickly sat down next to Yu Baisu and gently took her hand.
"Fool, what nonsense are you talking about? Taking care of you is something I do willingly. You haven't wronged me in any way."
Yu Baisu looked up, deeply moved: "Really? You really don't think I'm a burden or a nuisance?"
Ye Chengyan smiled helplessly: "Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Yu Baisu's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Ye Chengyan in front of him and remained silent for a long time.
Those eyes, as gentle and tender as spring water, wrapped around you like silk threads.
Ye Chengyan felt a surge of heat in his heart and couldn't help but hold Yu Baisu's hand even tighter.
"Cheng Yan." Yu Baisu slowly moved closer, closing the distance between them.
Ye Chengyan was somewhat taken aback. He had the urge to get up, but Yu Baisu took the initiative and held his hand.
Just as Yu Baisu was about to kiss Ye Chengyan's lips, Ye Ze ran in.
"Aunt Su Su, I've found some beautiful flowers for you."
Fortunately, the bouquet of flowers Ye Ze was holding blocked his face, preventing him from noticing Ye Chengyan and Yu Baisu's actions.
The two separated instantly after being caught in the act, and Yu Baisu's expression was quite varied.
Just a little bit closer!
Although she and Ye Chengyan had reunited, their relationship remained ambiguous, at most involving hugs.
Yu Baisu was uneasy about Ye Chengyan's recent attitude towards Yunzhi, so she planned to take the initiative, but she was unexpectedly interrupted.
She glanced at Ye Ze, who had rushed in.
The child's appearance was about 70-80% similar to Ye Chengyan's, but his eyes were very much like Yunzhi's.
It's annoying to look at.
In contrast, Cheng Shuyan remained calm.
"Don't overthink it," he told me. "I'll come back to see you when I'm done with this."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ye Chengyan recalled the scene from just now in his mind, and a smile curved his lips.
Once I've dealt with my current affairs, I can be with Yu Baisu forever.
After so many years of unfulfilled desire, he is finally about to get what he wants.
She was the one who pulled him out of the mire, and Ye Chengyan will never forget the moonlight that saved him.
Just then, Ye Chengyan's phone rang; it was his assistant calling.
"Mr. Ye, the list of layoffs has been distributed, but..."
Ye Chengyan is a strong-willed person and hates those around him who are indecisive.
"Can't you even handle this small matter?"
The cancellation of previous collaborative projects has had a significant impact on the Ye Group. In order to reduce expenses, Ye Chengyan has carried out a large-scale layoff in the company, which can also serve as an opportunity to eliminate corrupt elements within the company.
"Mr. Ye, many of the people on the financial list are long-time employees of the company, some of whom have been there for over ten years. They are not satisfied with their compensation and want it increased."
"What right do they have to negotiate with me? I'm only giving you three days. If you don't handle this well, you'll be on the list too."
After saying that, Ye Chengyan hung up the phone.
His eyes were cold.
Suddenly, he remembered that Yunzhi still held a portion of the Ye Group's shares, and he had to find a way to get her to hand them over.
Meanwhile, in the ward, Ye Ze, unaware of what he had just interrupted, still diligently presented the flowers to Yu Baisu.
"Aunt Su, these flowers are for you. Do you like them?"
Yu Baisu looked at the flowers in front of her, her face bearing a gentle smile, but the words she spoke were somewhat cruel to a young child.
"I don't like it, Xiaoze, please don't send it to me again."
Ye Ze paused for a moment, unsure how to respond.
His feelings seemed to have fallen into coal dust, becoming dirty and unwanted.
He couldn't help but recall how she would always be very happy when he gave her Yunzhi flowers, and how she would take great care of them.
Ye Ze thought everyone would like him.
Yu Baisu didn't have much patience for Ye Ze and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
"Xiao Ze, go out and play by yourself."
"Then Aunt Su, you should get some rest." Ye Ze nodded.
He thought that Aunt Su must be tired, so he turned around and left the ward.
However, Ye Ze had just recovered from his illness when he was bumped into by someone who was rushing out from around the corner. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Ye Ze looked up and saw that the person who had bumped into him was a middle-aged man with an anxious expression.
He was wearing a mask, only his eyes were visible, and his eye sockets were covered with dark circles. He was extremely thin.
Ye Ze was startled. The man had no patience to care about a child and left while making a phone call.
Ye Ze listened to the man's voice gradually fading into the distance.
"Why the sudden layoffs? I've been with the company for over ten years, and I only took two days off, and you're firing me?"
"Even if I were to be expelled, it wouldn't be my turn!"
"Is your Ye Group trying to drive people to their deaths?"
……
Cheng Shuyan stopped the car.
"Here we are."
When Yunzhi saw the scene before her clearly, she was somewhat surprised: "This is your home?"
The mansion in front of us is probably quite old; it's definitely a place where only a very prestigious and influential family would live.
Yunzhi originally thought that Cheng Shuyan's family was just rich, but now she realized that she seemed to have been a bit narrow-minded.
She took two steps back.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
