I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 226 Vampire

Ye Li gave Su Cheng an affirmative answer.

Su Cheng sighed helplessly to herself.

Judging from her past actions, Ye Li cherishes her position at the Emperor Group very much.

The key point of the conflict with Su Cheng is that Su Cheng's actions will cause him to lose his current job.

Ye Li would never have given up her current position unless she was pushed to the limit.

It's even less likely that they would abandon him, Qin Fen, and other colleagues and friends with whom they have a good relationship at the Dihao Group.

Ye Li is not a strong woman in the traditional sense, but she is indeed a very strong-willed woman.

She couldn't handle the mental stress and potential negative impacts her parents placed on her.

Staying away is the best solution.

A family can largely guarantee a person's lower and upper limits.

When children first enter society, the family will help them with anything that happens and support them in establishing themselves in society.

Once the children grow up, and the individual gains power and builds their own network, they can help resolve some troubles and issues for their family.

They may even be far more capable than their peers and inherit some of their parents' connections and relationships.

Let's take Lin Lin as an example for comparison.

She could never have met so many wealthy and influential men in Beijing on her own.

They must all be second-generation relatives who knew each other through their parents' generation; their parents had a very good relationship.

Many of the people at the dinner table that day were actually Lin Lin's childhood friends.

Using this as a starting point, Lin Lin will snowball her connections with even more exceptional individuals.

Not to mention someone like Lin Lin, who is considered the top figure in the Jingzhou circle.

Take Qin Fen and Zhang Yangwen as examples for comparison.

Not causing trouble for the children is a huge advantage.

They can also help the children out sometimes.

With all these twists and turns, the gap in levels and distinctions widens over time.

If something happens, their families will definitely take the blame for them.

What about Ye Li's home?
Not to mention her parents helping her get things sorted out and resolved.

Su Cheng was 100% certain that the phrase Ye Li had heard most often since childhood was "Don't cause trouble for the family."

He's still clinging to his daughter and sucking her blood.

Why doesn't Ye Li dare to tell her family about her financial situation?

It wasn't because she was selfish that she deliberately hid it from her parents.

Ye Li's bonus after being officially hired, plus the profit sharing from her first year of handling cases, adds up to about 100,000 yuan.

Ye Li obediently handed over all the money to her family for safekeeping.

It's simply to tell them that their daughter is now successful, not only able to support herself but also able to bring some help to the family.

Whether the elderly couple endured hardship unnecessarily or genuinely suffered, they certainly worked hard their entire lives.

Now, my daughter has finally become successful.

Young Ye Li originally thought her parents would be very happy and proud of her.

That was indeed the case at the beginning.

Parents would talk about themselves in front of relatives and friends, and they would feel very proud.

Ye Li felt very satisfied with this.

But things soon took a different turn.

Driven by vanity, the elderly couple would tell everyone that their daughter earned over 50,000 yuan a month in Beijing and sent 100,000 yuan home in just two months.

This led to relatives and friends starting to borrow money.

Out of consideration for their pride, the elderly couple gradually lent out all 100,000 yuan.

Ye Li discovered this when she urgently needed money in Jingzhou and had to withdraw 20,000 yuan. She had to use her credit card to make the payment.

She deposited over 100,000 yuan with her parents, and when she needed money, she had to use her credit card, and then she had to pay it back later.

This infuriated Ye Li.

The issue of borrowing money has never stopped.

This old man wants to start a business and needs to borrow money.

My uncle is starting a business tomorrow and needs to borrow money.

The day after tomorrow, or the day after that, a relative she's never even met will get sick and she'll need to borrow money.

Ye Li couldn't understand it.

These people, whose annual family income is no more than 5 yuan, suddenly start their own businesses and earn 30 or 50 yuan.

She had a cousin she had never heard of before, who was young and impetuous, and he immediately asked for 100 million.

When Ye Li heard about these requests for money, she almost lost her composure.

The key is.

These relatives who borrowed money were too embarrassed to come to her directly, so they could only whisper in the old couple's ears and get them to come to her.

Ye Li no longer lets the elderly couple keep a single penny for her, nor does she make any large transfers. She usually transfers 500 or 1000 yuan to them to supplement their household expenses.

She kept all the dividends and bonuses for herself.

She also said that she had made a mistake and was demoted and had her salary reduced by the company. Her salary was no longer as high, and she no longer received bonuses or dividends.

But my parents didn't believe it at all.

Whether you believe it or not.

That's all the income she earns anyway.

She didn't even dare tell her family that she had bought a car.

Ye Li has now figured it out.

Damn it, some poor families feel that they can't let go of a hen that has finally laid golden eggs.

They would rather kill the goose that lays the golden eggs than watch the hen leave their control.

The claim that higher wages in Shangjingzhou are only a small part of the reason is just a pretext and excuse.

The real reason they were the majority was that they wanted to keep an eye on Ye Li and prevent her from straying from their path.

Also, if you need money in the future, it will be convenient to ask Ye Li for money or borrow money in person, and she will not allow you to refuse.

damn it.

She ignored all the burns, blisters, and lumbar muscle strain she got from her research trip to Yuzhou, and then told her that she would be living with her from now on.

Who could stand that!

Su Cheng found it utterly absurd, yet somehow also quite reasonable.

These are the kinds of parents.

"Sister Chestnut, how come I've never heard you mention this before?"

Why am I telling you this? So you can laugh at me?

Su Cheng believes that, ultimately, it's because Ye Li isn't assertive enough.

In this family, whoever earns the money gets to speak.

With an annual income of that amount, especially in a rural family, Ye Li should be able to do whatever she wants, and her parents should have to be mindful of her feelings.

Listening to your parents' opinions is simply giving them the respect they deserve.

"So I'm not giving them money anymore."

"Hmm." Su Cheng thought for a moment and finally decided to tell Ye Li, "Actually, my dad also told me a couple of days ago that he wanted to start a business."

"Did they ask you for money?"

"Ah."

"How much?"

"one million."

Su Cheng took out her phone and showed Ye Li the chat history.

"That's hilarious! Did you give it to me?"

Su Cheng explained, "Uh... my situation is special, so I was given it."

"How much was given?"

"Twenty-five thousand, and I also bought him a cell phone, which cost about thirty thousand."

"Oh, that's not much."

After Ye Li vented to Su Cheng, her mood improved significantly, and their relationship eased considerably.

"So where are you staying tonight?"

"hotel."

"Have you booked the room?"

"Yes, it's been open for a week."

"Okay, then."

Su Cheng had just moved, and he was thinking that if Ye Li didn't want to go back, she could stay at his place, which also had two bedrooms and a living room.

He recalled the days he stayed at Ye Li's house after faking his suicide attempt, and how Ye Li had taken meticulous care of him. Now that Ye Li had nowhere to stay, he suggested she stay with him.

"No need, I live close to the company."

Su Cheng neither mentioned it again nor tried to dissuade Ye Li from leaving Jingzhou.

He had secretly made up his mind that he had to help Ye Li in this matter and find a way to get the old couple away.

"Don't go to the company for the next few days, take it easy for now."

"How can we not go?"

"Listen to me, don't go yet." Su Cheng felt that the old couple must have exhausted her these past few days. "I'll get you sick leave, you can handle your work online."

Ye Li agreed.

She really needs to take a break.

She didn't want to see her father working as a security guard at the entrance of Shengyue Building.

Besides the emotions mentioned earlier, she also felt extremely ashamed.

Ye Li wasn't afraid of being criticized for being unfilial; she genuinely felt ashamed that her father was saluting people and swiping turnstiles at the entrance of the building.

"Alright, I'll call Deng Qiang later and ask for a few days of sick leave." Ye Li helplessly showed her exhaustion. "I really need to rest."

"Okay, you can stay at the hotel for the next few days. If it's not something you have to handle, you don't need to come. Just rest for a few days."

"it is good."

……

The next morning.

Lin Lin took the initiative to find Su Cheng and asked him about Ye Li's situation.

"Hey, Xiao Cheng, what's wrong with Team Leader Ye? He didn't come to the meeting today?"

Lin Lin thought she had a pretty good relationship with Su Cheng, so she started calling her 'Xiao Cheng'.

"Huh? You didn't attend the meeting?"

"It's not that I didn't attend the meeting, it's that I didn't attend in person, I attended online via voice."

Su Cheng didn't understand. Wasn't this normal? It was an online voice conference.

"Uh, I mean, did something happen to her?"

"Yes, she's sick and is working from home."

"Oh, I see..." Lin Lin nodded.

Talk about it.

Su Cheng really didn't reveal her plan to Ye Li.

Because Ye Li's performance at the meeting was... very ordinary. She didn't offer any constructive opinions and just tacitly agreed to their plan.

Today's meeting is different from the previous discussion meetings.

Lin Lin presented their complete plan today. If there are no other objections, it will be submitted to headquarters for approval, and also shown to Du Juan's boss.

Ye Li, however, acted as if she were invisible, instead agreeing with and supporting her plan.

It would be plausible to say that she was sick, but Lin Lin could tell that Ye Li's condition was not right; she was not as enthusiastic about work as she usually was.

But Lin Lin was also afraid that Ye Li was secretly plotting something big, but it didn't seem like it.

"Xiao Cheng, where does Ye Li live? Should I go over and take a look after I get off work?"

"It's alright, you don't need to look after her. I'm taking care of her. You can go about your work."

"alright."

Lin Lin then inquired about Yuan Xinhao.

Su Cheng's assessment was: "He has behaved well these past few days, so let's just let this matter go. Keep an eye on him in the future and make sure he doesn't repeat this mistake. I won't pursue the matter further."

"it is good."

Lin Lin had just left.

Qin Fen and Zhang Yangwen came in right after the meeting ended.

They were deeply concerned about Ye Li's situation.

"Brother Cheng, what did you and Sister Li talk about yesterday?"

"Brother Cheng, Sister Li didn't come to work today, what happened?"

Su Cheng didn't hide anything: "Yes, she has already decided to resign."

"what?"

"Why is that?"

"Brother Cheng, didn't you try to persuade Sister Li to stay?"

"It's not because of me, it's because of her family."

Su Cheng did not try to stop her.

Trying to keep them is pointless.

Solving the problem is the most crucial thing.

If Ye Li can't solve the problem for the elderly couple, she'll have to leave.

Only by dealing with these two can Ye Li stay, but it will be a painful experience.

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Qin Fen and Zhang Yangwen were relieved to see Su Cheng's confident expression.

As long as Su Cheng isn't indifferent and doesn't ignore Ye Li's departure, they can rest assured.

"I'm definitely not going to let her go."

"Brother Cheng, do you have any ideas?"

"Have."

"Okay... Go upstairs first and find a middle-aged woman, but don't let her know you're looking for her. Find out which company she works for and who her supervisor is."

"This is her photo."

Although they didn't understand the meaning, the two knew that this must be Su Cheng's method, and they resolutely followed it.

Just as the two were about to leave, Qin Fen turned back and asked, "Brother Cheng, which floor is she on?"

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking you to look for it. Anyway, it's inside this building, so you can search as much as you want."

"I'm going downstairs now; I have something else to take care of."

"Oh, good."

The two went upstairs.

Su Cheng arrived on the first floor.

He spotted a stranger among the security guards on the first floor from a distance.

After comparing the photos on my phone, I confirmed that it was indeed Ye Li's father, Ye Haijun.

This middle-aged man was in his fifties, of medium build, with brown skin and a good face. He wasn't the kind of person with a fat head and big ears, nor was he the kind of person with a thin face and a cunning look, nor was he the kind of person with a big face and small eyes.

At first glance, he seems honest and kind-looking, a very simple and honest man.

However, if Su Cheng were to look closely with her six eyes, she would discover that Ye Haijun's eyes concealed cunning, and even some weakness.

If this kind of person were in society, he would only bully his wife and daughter; he wouldn't dare to raise his voice at anyone else.

He looks like an honest and simple person, but in reality he's shameless.

Ye Li is staying at a hotel today and hasn't come to the company.

To some extent, the elderly couple drove their daughter away and moved into Ye Li's house themselves.

They don't even bother to go looking for work, yet they still have the nerve to go to work.

He's a complete bastard.

Su Cheng didn't speak to Ye Haijun, or even glance at him, but went straight to the property manager's office.

The manager, who was working, looked up and saw a man in a luxurious business suit carrying a briefcase walk in.

"Eh? Sir, who are you?"

The manager racked his brain trying to recall his schedule, but it seemed that this person hadn't scheduled a meeting with him.
However, the manager quickly noticed the name tag on Su Cheng's chest.

Emperor Group K7-Su Cheng.

K7!

Then no appointment is needed.

The manager remembered; he recognized Su Cheng—she seemed to be from Sheng Yue!
Correct!
It's from Shengyue!
The manager immediately stood up with a smile and began to make tea for Su Cheng, gesturing for her to sit down.

"Team Leader Su, please have a seat."

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Su Cheng took out a pack of Tianye cigarettes from his briefcase.

"Oh, Team Leader Su, you're too kind!"

The manager's tea-making movements became more steady: "Come, come, Team Leader Su, please try this tea."

"Team Leader Su, is there something you need from me?"

Su Cheng hummed in affirmation, giving him a positive answer.

"I want you to fire someone."
