"Mr. Ye, have you and Murong known each other for many years?"
"It's been almost ten years, what's wrong?" Ye Fan asked.
"I want to know how Murong performed in college and whether he is as outstanding as he is now." Liu Yuqin held her hands in front of her chest, her face full of expectation.
"Murong and I were introduced by my family, and we have known each other for less than three months. He seems reluctant to mention the past, and I am very curious."
"Actually, it's nothing. When we were in school, both boys and girls were very naughty and mischievous, and the teacher was always worried about us.
Murong is very smart, he can study and play well, and he has won scholarships from school all year round. Of course, he is also very generous, and he invites us to dinner every time he gets a scholarship."
Ye Fan only said a few small things, which were enough to express the excellence of Murong Qi.
As for the bad things in the past, Ye Fan didn't mention a word.
Liu Yuqin looked a little strange, "Is Murong very generous..."
"Of course!" Ye Fan smiled, "They say that we Binhai men are petty, but for people who want to do big things, being petty is not acceptable. Murong will definitely be very successful in the future!"
"Mr. Ye, thank you for telling me this." Liu Yuqin nodded repeatedly: "I also hope Murong succeeds."
"By the way, Mr. Ye, what industry are you in?"
"Me?" Ye Fan gave a wry smile, "If you can't do it well, you can't do it low. It's good if you can make a living and have enough to eat."
"Mr. Ye must be trying to make a fortune in silence, that's why he doesn't want to reveal it to me." Liu Yuqin covered her mouth and laughed.
"There's nothing to hide. I bought a stake in a friend's cake shop and plan to open up some new markets. As for what will happen in the future, I dare not say." Ye Fan said modestly.
Liu Yuqin was slightly startled, "Cake shop? Mr. Ye is in the catering industry!"
"That's right."
"I really envy Mr. Ye." Liu Yuqin politely complimented him, and then said: "I heard Murong say that Mr. Ye's family once had three sets of commercial housing in the city. They sold them all in the past few years. Is it to expand the company's operations?
?”
"Mr. Ye, now the market price of your original commercial house has exceeded 60,000 square meters. The trend in the future will definitely be more scary. I wonder how much you sold it for."
"Mr. Ye, I think the catering industry is better. Once you reach a certain level, the work is easy and you get cash, don't you think?
I estimate that Murong's monthly salary is not as good as your daily income, right?"
Ye Fan was a little uncomfortable with Liu Yuqin's probing attitude.
Maybe she had good intentions and wanted to know more about Murong Qi's friends, but wasn't the question too personal?
Ye Fan felt weird in his heart, but he behaved very politely on the surface.
"Ms. Liu, I'm full. I have to go to the store to take a look. You eat slowly while I leave first."
After saying that, Ye Fan called the waiter to prepare the check.
"Mr. Ye, Murong has told us that we are here to treat you today, so please don't be polite."
Even so, Liu Yuqin had no intention of paying for it.
Soon, the waiter typed up the bill and handed it to Ye Fan, "Sir, the total is six hundred yuan."
"Yeah." Ye Fan touched his pocket and his expression suddenly changed.
"Sir, do you want cash or card?" the waiter asked in a low voice.
"I..." Ye Fan was extremely embarrassed. He took out his mobile phone and said to the waiter: "Wait a moment, I will make a call."
"Sir, you can also use Alipay or WeChat in our store." The waiter was very polite.
Ye Fan was very surprised, "I know, wait a moment."
Only now did Ye Fan realize that he didn't bring his wallet.
Although he has WeChat in his mobile phone, his true credit is so low that he is blacklisted, not to mention his bank card, and even money transactions on the Internet.
So Ye Fan couldn't use his mobile phone to pay at all.
Liu Yuqin's eyes became suspicious, and she smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Ye, you forgot to bring your wallet, right?"
From "you" to "you", the degree of compliment in the honorific suddenly drops sharply, and the tone becomes very stiff.
"Waiter, give me the bill." Liu Yuqin waved to the waiter and took out 600 cash from her wallet.
"Thank you, miss." The waiter took the money and left regardless of who paid.
Ye Fan smiled awkwardly and said: "Miss Liu, I'm sorry, please tell Murong, and I will treat you to dinner next time."
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it."
Liu Yuqin smiled bitterly and said: "Our Murong is usually too generous. Many people come to him for dinner and he pays for it. Although Murong's income is good, he must consider the future. Mr. Ye, don't you think so?"
Ye Fan's eyes twitched slightly, and his evaluation of Liu Yuqin was once again lowered.
This is a cautious girl!
"Ms. Liu, just eat slowly." Ye Fan put away his smile, turned around and left the restaurant.
After Ye Fan left, Liu Yuqin's face completely drooped.
"I really thought you were a big boss in the catering business. It turns out that like Murong's other friends, you only know how to brag!
No, I have to warn Murong in the future. If he continues like this, he won't be able to save much money at all. The house prices in Binhai are so expensive, and I still want to live in a villa!"
Liu Yuqin could not satisfy the apartment allocated to Murong Qi in the science and technology park. She wanted to have a more comfortable living environment.
This is something that is understandable.
However, Murong Qi and she were not married yet, so she might have crossed the line in some matters.
At this time, Liu Yuqin's phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was Murong Qi calling.
"Hey, Murong!" Liu Yuqin quickly picked up the phone and called sweetly: "Where are you? Have you finished the work?"
"No, we still have a meeting, so I'll give you a call during the break." Murong Qi's voice was very low, "Where's Mark, have you finished your meal?"
"Mr. Ye went back to work after he was full." Liu Yuqin said with a slight smile: "Mr. Liu is a very funny person. He told a lot of embarrassing things about you when you were in school."
"Ah...is...really?" Murong Qi laughed, and then asked: "By the way, you didn't ask him to pay, right?"
"No, you specifically explained it, how could I still ask Mr. Ye to pay!" Liu Yuqin behaved very considerately.
Murong Qi smiled and nodded, "Yuqin, thank you. I happen to be free tonight. Didn't you say you want to change your bag? Let's go to Baida Mall in the city center to choose one!"
Liu Yuqin was happy at first, then shook her head and rejected Murong Qi's proposal.
"Murong, it's not easy for you to make money, so it's better not to be so extravagant. I've already said that I really want to buy a villa in Country Garden in Jianpu New District, so we all have to work hard!"
"Ah?" Murong Qi's smile suddenly solidified.
"Yuqin, a villa in Jianpu New District is not cheap. It costs at least 20 to 30 million. With my salary, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay off the loan until I retire!"
Besides, isn’t the apartment provided by my unit very good? It has three bedrooms and one living room, more than 120 square meters, and it is in the city center, so it is convenient to go anywhere.”
"The house in your unit is nice, but it can't be sold! If something happens to you, they will take the house back.
Murong, we don’t think about ourselves, but we have to think about our children, right?”
Liu Yuqin's words were so impeccable that Murong Qi could not find anything to refute.
"Yuqin, I didn't say I won't buy a house. I just went to Jianpu New District to buy a villa as soon as I got married. It's too stressful for me. Otherwise, why don't we switch to two commercial houses?"
A villa in Country Garden in Jianpu New District costs at least 20 to 30 million, which is enough to buy four or five ordinary commercial houses.
According to Liu Yuqin, if he really buys a villa, Murong Qi will not be able to have any other consumption or investment other than normal food and drink in his life, and all his salary will have to go into the mortgage.
Although Murong Qi's family has a small business, they can't provide much support at all when it comes to buying a villa.
Moreover, Murong Qi himself had only worked for a few years, and the savings in his hand were not enough to buy a commercial house, let alone a large villa.
Liu Yuqin was a little unhappy and continued to brainwash her.
"Murong, don't underestimate buying a villa. It will not only improve your social status, but also help you develop your interpersonal network.
Think about it, how many ordinary people can buy a villa there? If you become neighbors with them and spend more time visiting them, wouldn't you have more opportunities in the future?
If it doesn't work, just change jobs! Anyway, many companies are poaching you, and the annual salary is much higher than in the science and technology park."
Murong Qi frowned deeply. At this time, someone happened to call him to prepare for a meeting. He quickly said: "Let's talk about it later, I have a meeting."
Then hung up the phone.
Murong Qi had troubles in his heart and walked into the venue full of worries.
Liu Yuqin's face became increasingly ugly, and she gritted her teeth and stuffed her phone into her bag.
Although she also knew in her heart that men were disgusted with women who dictated their careers, she must strengthen her attitude for the sake of her future quality of life.
But it was said that Ye Fan left the hotel and went to Li Ruoxin's cake shop, where Li Ruoxin formally introduced him to three employees.
Xiaojuan, who works as a statistician and cashier, immediately exclaimed, "The new shareholder the boss lady mentioned before turns out to be Mr. Ye!"
The young man in charge of making the cake was in awe of Ye Fan and kept calling him "Mr. Ye".
This is a very atmospheric working environment!
Ye Fan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be so polite. I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me brother."
"Brother Ye!"
The three young men shouted quickly.
Especially Xiaojuan, her voice was so crooked that it sounded like she had been drugged.
"Brother Ye will be responsible for the equipment in our store from now on. If I am not here, he will be the boss of the store." Li Ruoxin's words set the tone for Ye Fan's status.
Xiaojuan and the others didn't know that Ye Fan was a small shareholder who took advantage of the situation with 30,000 yuan, so they thought he had some extraordinary ability.
"Please take good care of us when we work together in the future." Ye Fan tried his best to keep his attitude low, "If you have any questions or troubles, you can come to me and I will do my best to help you."
"Thank you, Brother Ye." Xiaojuan covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "Brother Ye, I am in trouble now."
"Say." Ye Fan became interested.
"The salary given by the boss lady is too low, please Brother Ye give us a salary increase!"
