Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C68
After a few days of peaceful silence, Xiao Chuxin seemed to have stopped moving. However, Lin Qingrou knew that it was impossible for Xiao Chuxin to give up so quickly. She was afraid that her unmoving actions were out of her expectations and caught her off guard.
However, what Lin Qingrou was curious about was that Xiao Chuxin and Ye Qingming had already separated for two years. If she really wanted to reunite, why would she give up such a good opportunity to wait for two years when they could meet everyday? Instead, she was holding on to Ye Qingming.
It was not without reason.
Lin Qingrou felt that something was off, but she couldn’t figure out what was wrong. However, she didn’t want to waste too much time on Xiao Chuxin right now, because she had more important things to do.
At that moment, while Lin Qingrou was preparing for work the next day, the phone suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
“Hello, may I ask who you are?”
“It’s me.”
“Fang Tong?” Lin Qingrou stood up, nearly falling to the ground.
“Well, I just changed the number, so I wanted to give you a call.”
His voice was a little tired, but also a little forced.
“What’s wrong with you? “I left in such a hurry, I don’t even know the reason for it.”
Fang Tong was silent for a while. Only his breathing could be heard from the other side of the phone.
“This is a private matter of my family. I need to hurry back and settle it.”
Lin Qingrou nodded. Now that she had a plan in mind, she did not ask any further questions.
“Then why did you call me today? Did something happen?”
“Well, you guessed it. “I am currently working at a company owned by a friend. The most recent topic is an interview with the ‘outstanding person’ in S city last year. One of them is the President of the St. Paul’s Hospital, Ye Qingcheng.”
“However, we contacted him a few times and were never put on his schedule, so I would like to ask if you have any suggestions for us to meet with him as soon as possible.”
Lin Qingrou took a deep breath and said, “I have the method, but I have a condition.”
Fang Tong obviously hadn’t expected her to say this. He was a bit surprised, but he maintained his composure and asked, “What conditions?”
“I want to go with you. “Also, there is another dean of St. Paul’s Hospital. I hope to use this opportunity to interview him.”
Fang Tong was curious. “Another one?”
“Yes, he’s Ye Qingcheng’s assistant, Qi Lang.”
Fang Tong was a bit hesitant. This person was not part of the interview plan, and rashly going there might cause unnecessary trouble.
Lin Qingrou suddenly said, “Do you feel troubled? If that’s the case, then forget it. ”
Fang Tong immediately said, “No!” It’s not impossible for you to interview me, but can you tell me the reason? ”
Lin Qingrou sighed softly, she still did not want to elaborate, “Sorry, I can’t.”
There was no other way, and in the end Fang Tong chose to compromise.
Lin Qingrou put down the phone. Just as she sat down and thought about what happened in Ye Qingcheng, Ye Qingming suddenly came back. She looked at her watch and asked in surprise, “Why are you so early today?”
Ye Qingming smiled, “There’s nothing to do in the hospital. There just happened to be a meeting in the afternoon, so I just came back.”
Lin Manshou smiled, “You can work in a hospital too?”
Ye Qingming rolled up his sleeves and said, “I’ll only do it this time!”
As he spoke, he got up and went into his study room to turn on his computer. Just as he was about to start working, Lin Qingrou asked him quietly, “When does he usually accept interviews?”
Ye Qingming was stunned, he asked, “You want to interview him?”
Lin Qingrou nodded hesitantly, “Yes, the editor recently wanted to interview the ‘outstanding person’ of last year, but he said ‘shut the door’ over at brother’s place, so he asked me to come and ask.”
Ye Qingming thought for a while. Although he knew that Ye Qingcheng did not like to be interviewed by the public, this time, it was Lin Qingrou who asked for a favor. If he refused without even asking, it would seem inconsiderate.
So he said, “Okay, I’ll call him later and ask, but can he give me that favor? That person, you know, looks at his career more than anything else. ”
Lin Qingrou nodded. Of course, she understood the importance of a career in Ye Qingcheng’s heart. However, if she were to use Ye Qingming to evaluate a career, then Ye Qingcheng would probably choose Ye Qingming to abandon his career. Seeing her return to her bedroom, Ye Qingming casually picked up the phone and called Ye Qingcheng.
When the call connected, Ye Qingming asked, “Brother, have you been busy recently?”
Ye Qingcheng said, “When are you not busy working in the hospital? If you have anything to say, say it.”
Ye Qingming smiled embarrassedly, “Well, I have a friend who wanted to interview you guys, but he couldn’t find an opportunity, so he found me.”
Ye Qingcheng suddenly realized and said: “Your friend? I don’t remember any of your friends being a reporter. ”
Ye Qingming paused for a moment, but he still told the truth, “Of course it’s not my friend. It’s a new plan that was recently proposed by my company. It includes a lot of people, including you.”
Ye Qingcheng did not seem surprised at all. He merely answered with a “hmm” and then said in a subtle tone, “So that’s how it is. Since that’s the case, I’ll give you guys face.” Tell her you can do it the day after tomorrow. ”
Ye Qingming never thought that Ye Qingcheng would agree so quickly. He stopped what he was doing in disbelief and didn’t know what to say.
Ye Qingcheng said, “Since that’s the case, you can relax.”
Ye Qingming nodded and said, “Alright, I understand.”
“How have you been lately?” Ye Qingcheng suddenly asked.
Ye Qingming came back to his senses and said, “It’s alright, there’s no problem.”
Ye Qingcheng was worried that Lin Qingrou would tell Ye Qingming about Quan Wei and Ye Qinggran, but he could tell from Ye Qingming’s unknowing tone that she really didn’t say anything.
He heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingming went over to Lin Qingrou and said, “I didn’t expect you to agree.”
Lin Qingrou was also surprised, she had not expected Ye Qingcheng to agree so quickly.
Ye Qingming looked at her and did not leave. Lin Qingrou asked curiously, “What, is there anything else?”
Ye Qingming looked at her in a natural manner, “I’ve helped you solve such a big problem, shouldn’t you have some sort of reward?”
Lin Qingrou couldn’t hold back her laughter. She threw the book in her hands into Ye Qingming’s hands and said, “You can find any dish you like in the book tonight.”
Ye Qingming knew that she was pretending to be confused, so he picked up the book unsatisfiedly. He casually flipped through it and said, “This one, sweet and sour pork.”
Lin Qingrou said in surprise, “This dish is very difficult, can I choose something else?”
Ye Qingming looked at her helplessly. Lin Qingrou was defeated, so he could only agree with a bitter face. If he knew earlier, he might as well do something else.
Lin Qingrou immediately got off the bed to change clothes and cook. She blinked at Ye Qingming. However, Ye Qingming seemed completely oblivious as he sat on the side and looked at her with interest.
Somehow, Lin Qingrou could do nothing to him today. She tugged on his sleeve and pleaded, “You can leave first, I need to change clothes.”
Ye Qingming didn’t understand, “Of course I can change clothes, I didn’t say that I won’t let you.”
“But I don’t want to change my clothes in front of you!”
Ye Qingming burst out in laughter. He wrapped his arms around her waist, lightly kissed her forehead and said, “Good! “Then I’ll go out now.”
Lin Qingrou covered her face and shrank to avoid him, then pushed him out of the room.
It had been a long time since he had seen Fang Tong. When they met again, he was exactly the same as he had been before.
The three of them stood at the bottom of the administrative building. Fang Tong asked, “When I first heard that you had an appointment, I really couldn’t believe it.”
Lin Qingrou followed him in, smiling, “Are you doubting my abilities?”
Fang Tong smiled and shook his head. The three of them got off the elevator and soon arrived at Ye Qingcheng’s office.
The secretary placed them in the conference room next door and then said, “The dean is in a meeting right now. He will be here in a moment for an interview. Please wait.”
The assistant, Lil ‘Chen, looked at her watch and asked, “How long will you be leaving us for today’s interview?”
The secretary smiled solemnly and shook his head without saying a word.
Fang Tong stopped Little Chen at this moment. “It’s alright. We’ll do our best to not delay Dean Ye as quickly as possible.”
The secretary nodded and left.
Lin Qingrou sat at the side. She looked down from the glass in the ninth floor, and saw that the people and cars by the roadside had become very small. She knew from previous investigations that this building had existed since a long time ago. That was why she was curious, wondering if her father had ever looked down from the top of the tower as he did when he was young.
While she was still in a daze, the door suddenly opened and Ye Qingcheng walked in with dust all over his body. Behind him were a few doctors.
Fang Tong and Little Chen stood up and were about to speak when Ye Qingcheng made a gesture for them to sit down. “There’s no need to say hello. I hope that the interview can end as soon as possible.”
With that, Ye Qingcheng looked up and saw Lin Qingrou sitting next to Fang Tong. His expression immediately changed subtly as he said to the doctors behind him, “You guys can leave first. I’ll be there later.”
Once everything was ready, Lin Qingrou stared at him without taking his eyes off him. Ye Qingcheng did not care too much about it, as they were both in each other’s hands, so they maintained a fearless attitude.
As Lin Qingrou listened to Fang Tong and Lil ‘Chen’s usual questions, she noticed that the atmosphere had turned cold. She suddenly asked, “Dean Ye, can I ask you a question?”
“Excuse me.”
“I’m curious, what is your moral bottom line? Is it higher than the average person, or lower than the average person? ”
Fang Tong and Lil ‘Chen suddenly looked at Lin Qingrou in astonishment. They had never expected her to suddenly ask such a strange and sensitive question.
Fang Tong couldn’t help but say, “It’s already very late, so let’s end the interview here!”
With that, he gestured for Little Chen to leave first.
Seeing that there were only two people in the meeting room, Lin Qingrou could not help but smile.
Ye Qingcheng looked at her and said, “You know that there is a tiger on the mountain, so you prefer to walk on the mountain. “I never thought you would be so bold. Not only did you marry into the Ye Family, but you also dared to come to the hospital?”
Lin Manmei said, “I’m afraid you’re the one who’s afraid. Even though you know my real purpose, you still chose to keep me by Ye Qingming’s side. Have you never heard the word ‘raising a tiger’ before?”
Ye Qingming seemed to have expected her to ask such a question. He calmly replied, “Raising a tiger will only bring about trouble. The pros and cons will be different.” Although there is danger, it is also the first time that we find out and solve the problem, so thinking about it like this, there is nothing bad about it. ”
Lin Qingrou retorted, “Aren’t you worried that Ye Qingming would be implicated by this?”
“Why should I worry? If you win, what does the life of those you love and love have to do with me? If you lose, he will at most be sad for a few days, and he can still live and work in peace in the future. ”
At this time, he suddenly changed the topic of the conversation. “If I were you, I wouldn’t be pestering you endlessly for so many years. Don’t you think it’s a waste for you to spend your entire life? ”
Lin Qingrou only felt that it was ridiculous.
“It was my father who died. I must seek justice for him. This is normal.”
“Normal!? How many things in the world were normal and fair? Do you think that by giving yourself the title of ‘Vengeance’, you will be able to do anything and have peace of mind? I can tell you now that not all the darkness in this world needs light. Because there are some corners that can only accommodate the darkness! ”
Lin Qingrou tried her best to suppress her anger. She said, “So is this the reason why you took the opportunity to kill your colleagues or even friends?”
“Of course not.” Ye Qingcheng opened his hands.
“I never thought of myself as a good person, nor did I think of myself as having a high moral bottom line. My patients need treatment, my employees need money to support their families. To them, it doesn’t matter who I am. And among them is Lin Zhiheng, your father. ”
Lin Qingrou was suddenly at a loss for words.
Before leaving, Ye Qingcheng said to her, “Although everyone has a different definition of morality, in this society, victory is justice and power is truth. Therefore, I will give you this sentence today as a form of mutual encouragement. If one day you really can defeat me, I think you will agree with me. ”
Lin Qingrou clutched a piece of paper tightly until she saw Ye Qingcheng leave the room. Then, she threw the piece of paper on the door. She could not help but shout in her heart, “What justice, what truth! It’s all those cultured scums’ nonsense! ”
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then opened the door and saw Fang Tong standing at the entrance.
“You …” She gaped at him.
Fang Tong nodded without hiding anything. “I heard what you guys said, but I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to hear it when I turned around to look for you.”
Lin Qingrou was flustered and exasperated.
“You … So you just stay here and listen, and don’t move away! ”
“Nope.”
“Did he see you when he came out?”
“You’re talking about Ye Qingcheng?” No, I hid in the back when he came out. ”
Lin Manshou let out a sigh of relief. If Ye Qingcheng had discovered that Fang Tong had overheard their conversation, then even Fang Tong would have been dragged into this as well.
The two of them left together. When they got downstairs, Fang Tong pointed upstairs and asked, “So you got me to interview him and Qi Cheng for your father?”
Lin Qingrou didn’t say anything back, but she didn’t say anything to him either.
