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

Chapter 231 Actually, it's not bad to get close to a boss.

These commercial buildings are basically all managed by one property management company.

The surrounding residential areas basically only have a few property management companies.

Finding a manager to discuss this matter is equivalent to several or even a dozen neighborhoods blocking the elderly couple.

Su Cheng's methods were simple and brutal.

Some people just slip money directly to the person.

Some were simply using the name of the Emperor Group to do a small favor.

There's no need to make a call for some, because the wages are very low and they don't hire people over 45.

Second.

Su Cheng told Ye Li to go home and tell her parents that she had been transferred to another city because of a work mistake, and that she also had to pay the company a sum of money to compensate for the group's losses. She asked them for the money.

"Of course, why not?"

"Isn't it normal to make mistakes at work because you're in a bad mood?"

Ye Li thought about it carefully.

It does seem feasible.

Eh, that's not right.

Ye Li suddenly realized that Su Cheng had been worrying about this matter for her all along.
This time, Su Cheng didn't deny it, but just chuckled.

The two continued to discuss some details in the car.

"Should I go back tomorrow?"

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow during the day. You're staying at the hotel tonight, so get a good night's sleep."

"it is good."

"I'll drive the car away now, I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

"Row."

……

the next morning.

Su Cheng drove Ye Li out of the hotel and took her to her residence.

"I'll head to the office now and wait for your message."

"Uh-huh."

As Ye Li stepped into the residential area, she couldn't help but feel a heavy weight in her heart, as if the atmospheric pressure inside the residential area was several Pa higher than outside.

She walked upstairs more slowly than usual, feeling a sense of fear when facing her parents.

When Ye Li took out her key to open the door, she discovered that it was no longer working.

It's not a malfunction due to the age of the door lock.

If it's old and worn, you can insert it, but it won't turn and you won't be able to unlock it.

These days, the keys are so damn hard they won't even go in!

"My grass!"

"The elderly couple already changed the locks for me?"

"They really think this is their own home?"

"Are you guarding against me?"

Ye Li felt as if she had been hit hard on the head.

Early this morning, a great deal of anger welled up inside her.

Ye Li wished she had superhuman strength so she could smash the door apart with a single punch.

Before Ye Li could tell Su Cheng about the situation, Liu Wenhua's voice came from inside the house.

"Who?"

When Liu Wenhua opened the door and saw Ye Li, her hysterical expression immediately changed from one of just waking up to a smiling and kind face.

"Hey, Xiao Li!"

Where have you been these past few days?

"Your dad and I have been looking for you for a long time, and we even went to your company to look for you, but we still couldn't find you."

"Hurry, hurry, come in."

Liu Wenhua welcomed Ye Li in as if she were a guest, and even turned around and called into the house, "Old man, your daughter is back!"

Ye Haijun walked out of the bathroom wearing an old, deformed vest.

Ye Li showed no goodwill whatsoever towards Ye Haijun and Liu Wenhua.

With a cold expression, she demanded, "Why did you change my lock?"

“Your lock is broken. We can’t open it with the key, and we can’t contact you, so your mother called someone to come and replace it.”

As Ye Haijun explained, he took a key off his belt, pulled it out of the key ring, and handed it to Ye Li.

Ye Li took the keys but didn't put them in her pocket; instead, she placed them on the table.

She discovered that all her things had been touched, especially the cabinets and boxes.

"Why did you open my suitcase?" Ye Li frowned and continued to question.

Ye Haijun stopped explaining, while Liu Wenhua said with a smile, "I just saw that your suitcase was too heavy and wanted to help you unpack it."

Ye Li's face was gloomy, and she was holding back her anger.

She has absolutely no privacy.

When I'm away from home for a few days, I have to search through everything in the house.

It's been like this since I was little, it's been like this since I was little!
When she was a child, Ye Li didn't even dare to put her diary in the drawer at home.

Ye Li preferred to keep it at school so that her classmates could secretly look through and pass it around, rather than keep it at home so that her mother could see it.

It's the same now.

Ye Li finally couldn't hold back any longer: "What have you been searching for? Does it give you a thrill to discover my possible secrets?"

Liu Wenhua nonchalantly defended herself, saying, "I was just looking around."

"You're just browsing?" Ye Li was even more furious upon hearing this.

"Xiao Li, your mother said she just wanted to help you tidy up. What's wrong with you so early in the morning? Why are you getting so angry?" Ye Haijun stepped forward to stop Ye Li from losing her temper.

Ye Li was shouted at and forced herself to calm down.

She knew she would be furious when she got back.

Ye Li told herself: I can't get angry, I can't get angry, I can't get angry.

I have important business to attend to when I get back today.

Ye Haijun continued, "I have something to tell you. Your mother and I can't go to work for the time being."

"what happened?"

Ye Haijun recounted the harsh conditions the property manager had imposed on him, and also complained about the Emperor Group: "What kind of company is that? I've never seen a company like this before. How can they even hire security guards?"

"anything else?"

"Your mom's company won't let her work there anymore."

"You were fired?"

"It's not dismissal, it's just that they won't let us work here anymore."

Liu Wenhua explained, "I just thought that mop looked nice, so I borrowed it to use."

When she talked about being fired, she immediately wiped away a few tears to show her grievance.

Oh.

Ye Li understood.

My mom secretly took the company's mop home.

Isn't this theft?

What's there to say about being fired?

She felt that Su Cheng didn't even need to greet the HR manager; Liu Wenhua had already ruined herself.

"It's not stealing, it's borrowing, and it's not like I don't intend to return it," Liu Wenhua continued to argue. "We don't even have a proper mop at home, the one in the bathroom is practically bald."

Liu Wenhua saw an advertisement for this mop in a shopping mall elevator; it was called the Dayu Mop. She had never seen a mop spend so much money advertising in an elevator.

It just so happens that the company that hired Liu Wenhua uses this brand, and she finds it quite convenient and good, so she thought of borrowing it to mop the floor for Ye Li.

Unexpectedly, she was discovered and immediately stopped working.

She had never seen such a stingy company.

???

Ye Li was furious when she heard Liu Wenhua say that.

What do you mean by mopping the floor for her?

They even have to have a legitimate reason for their actions?
Does that mean she sent Liu Wenhua to steal a mop?
How much does a mop cost?

Can't she afford it?
Ye Li stopped wasting words with the elderly couple and directly confronted them, saying that she had made a mistake at work, so she could no longer stay in Jingzhou and would be transferred to another city, and she would also have to pay the company a sum of money.

The elderly couple frowned upon hearing the news, but their reaction was not significant.

This expression actually shows that he doesn't believe what Ye Li said.

Ye Li and Su Cheng had already guessed that they wouldn't believe them, and their goal was to get rid of them.

Whether you believe it or not, as long as you speak up, that's enough.

Ye Li had other ways to convince them.

The elderly couple's reaction was not very strong. They did not directly deny Ye Li's job transfer, but instead first absolved themselves of any responsibility, saying that it was not their fault.

Only lastly did they question Ye Li.

"It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"

"We've only been here for a few days!"

"Xiao Li, do you mean you want money from us?"

Ye Li admitted, "You should collect the debts I lent out; I need to compensate the company."

When the elderly couple heard about the debt collection, they felt like the sky had fallen and immediately asked Ye Li, "Where's your money?"

Ye Li: ???
How many years of cerebral thrombosis does it take to ask such a question?

The elderly couple knew that Ye Li had savings, but... the money in her card was her own money.

The money she lent out was her money too!
Ye Li firmly stated, "I don't have enough money. You need to get my money back."

"Also, I want to emphasize one point."

"The money you lent out is also my money."

The elderly couple immediately felt a sense of crisis and began to explain the current situation of these relatives.

"Xiao Li, let me tell you, your cousin's shop has been losing money for several years."

"Your aunt is still sick and can't even get out of bed to walk."

"How can I ask them for it? I haven't received it even if I ask."

Ye Li didn't care about anything else.

“You lent them out without informing me at the time, and there were two other loans that you only notified me of before they were lent out.”

"Now you're in charge of getting it back for me."

The amount of money lent out wasn't much, but it still added up to about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

This put the elderly couple in a dilemma.

If they ask their relatives for money, they will lose face in front of them.

But if they can't get it back, they'll lose face in Ye Li's eyes.

Seeing Ye Li's attitude, Ye Haijun, after careful consideration, directly stated: "If we don't get it back, they don't have the money either."

Ye Haijun was thinking that Ye Li had stopped giving them money a long time ago, and only transferred 1,000 yuan to them every month. He had long lost face.

Liu Wenhua tried to smooth things over by saying, "Xiao Li, it's not that we don't want the money. We've already told you about our relatives' current situation. If you're not in a hurry for the money, let them wait a bit before we ask for it. Right now, they don't have any."

“We’re all relatives, we see each other all the time. If we push too hard, it will make us look petty.”

"Didn't I just say that I also urgently need money? The company is making me pay compensation, or they'll sue me. Don't you understand?"

The elderly couple didn't say anything more, but the expressions on their faces said it all: they didn't believe it.

Finally, Ye Haijun began to threaten Ye Li with kinship and morality.

“Daughter, if you’re going to try to get rid of your parents this way, your parents will be heartbroken.”

Ye Li wasn't buying into the kidnapping tactic. She retorted, "How did I kick you out? You changed all the locks, weren't you the ones kicking your daughter out?"

"Look at what you're saying. Who kicked you out? I just said it was Lock Old Man who left."

"What do you mean 'old'? I just changed the locks two months ago."

"The lock you replaced is of poor quality and will probably break soon."

Ye Li was speechless.

"I'm not going to talk to you about the lock anymore."

"You want to hear the truth, right? Fine, I'll tell you then."

“The money I earned before didn’t come from working; it was given to me by my boss. I only made about four or five thousand a month, maybe six thousand.”

“Now I have a falling out with my boss. Not only is he not paying me, but he also wants to move me to another city and threatens me to pay back the money. Otherwise, he will sue me and have the court enforce the judgment. If I can't pay back the money, he will put me in jail.”

"Also, he rented this house for me."

The previous work mistakes, the proposed job transfer, and the compensation were all preludes that Su Cheng devised for Ye Li.

This was Ye Li's trump card in driving the elderly couple away.

The elderly couple were shocked after hearing this, and their pupils involuntarily widened.

Does that mean...my daughter was kept by a sugar daddy in Jingzhou?

Ye Li looked at their expressions and didn't know what to say.

Is this a letter?
Grass.

The elderly couple didn't believe a single word of her carefully crafted lies.

The old couple believed Su Cheng's utter nonsense without a doubt.

They genuinely believed that they had used their looks and figures to climb up to the boss and gain substantial financial rewards.

In the elderly couple's mind, this was an extremely likely thing to happen.

Ye Haijun and Liu Wenhua recalled the gossip circulating in the village about Ye Li, including rumors that she had an "unclear relationship with the big boss."

This false truth is the most believable to them.

After Ye Li "revealed" herself, the elderly couple's attitude immediately changed drastically.

"Honey, you haven't shown up for the past two days, have you been dealing with this?"

Ye Li continued, following their lead: "What else?"

She was both angry and helpless.

Deep down, Ye Li still harbored some expectations and feelings of guilt towards her family.

Saying that is tantamount to ruining one's own reputation.

But in order to escape her family of origin, Ye Li could only resort to this rather unseemly method devised by Su Cheng.

Anyway, Ye Li doesn't plan to have any contact with them anymore.

The elderly couple remained silent for a long time, and Ye Li had no idea what they were thinking.

Finally, Liu Wenhua spoke first: "Xiao Li, can you think of a way to stop him from asking us for money?"

Liu Wenhua's meaning was quite clear: she wanted to persuade Ye Li to continue trying to please that boss.

Ye Li was shocked and couldn't believe it after hearing this.

She looked at Ye Haijun and found that her father had actually tacitly agreed with her mother's statement.

Grass!
Oh shit!

For a few tens of thousands of yuan, her parents were actually willing to let her be kept by a sugar daddy and continue to pay off the fictitious boss that Ye Li had created?

Isn't she the daughter you keep saying you raised with great care?

As a result, she's now being used as a conduit for people, and they're trying to persuade her to continue.
So that it would be easier for them to lie on top of you and suck your blood, right?
How could the elderly couple possibly have the face to ask her to call them Mom and Dad?

Ye Li had lost all remaining feelings for her family and parents; the last vestiges of guilt in her heart were replaced by anger and helplessness.

She has only one thought now: to escape this family!
