Chapter 55: The Intention of Remembrance

  Wishing all readers and friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, may everything go smoothly, and also wishing myself a happy writing experience, with a surge in collection tickets! Today's third update, considering my hard work in writing, please give me more fiery support!

  At this time, Ye Feng still didn't know that someone was plotting against him.

  A new day, a new mood, a new route, new harvest.

  Compared to yesterday, under the bonus effect of divine consciousness, Ye Feng's water delivery speed has increased significantly. By this afternoon, before 2 o'clock, he had completed the day's water delivery and also gained 2 points of merit value.

  Returning to Dongfeng Road Mingyuan headquarters, Ye Feng plans to deliver twenty more barrels of water this afternoon and earn some commission.

  After picking up water at the warehouse, he went to the business department. Just as he was about to sign and leave, a sister who worked at the service desk in the lobby found him.

  "Yefeng, you're back just in time. A young lady came looking for you earlier and is waiting for you in the hall. She's a real beauty!" The receptionist sister looked at Yefeng with a sly gaze, smiling with pursed lips.

  Is someone looking for him? Or is it a beautiful woman, Ye Feng was stunned, could it be Qin Yan coming to find him?

  As the service desk sister arrived at the hall, she took a look and was surprised to find that the beauty who came to see him was not Qin Yan, but the aunt of the little girl with heart disease.

  Ye Feng's impression of this beauty was neither good nor bad. After thinking about it, at that time, the beauty's unpleasant words and attitude were also normal, after all, her niece was in a life-or-death situation at that time.

  But what did she come to me for? Was it to thank me?

  Ye Feng didn't really think about being thanked in person by the other party, and if he had to say thanks, he already had 800 points of merit value from him.

  Today, the beautiful woman's expression and attitude were clearly different from yesterday. When she saw Ye Feng, she walked over with a smile on her face, extended her hand to shake hands with Ye Feng, and laughed: "You are Mr. Ye Feng, right? My name is Gu Nian, 'Gu' as in taking care of, 'Nian' as in thinking of. I found your company's address on the bottled water and came here after verifying it was you who delivered the water to the property management company. I came specifically to find you today, first to apologize, second to sincerely thank you. There is a coffee shop across the street from your company, would you be available to go out and talk with me?

  The beautiful woman named Gu Nian was very polite today, which made Ye Feng feel a bit embarrassed. He hastily waved his hand and said, "No need to apologize, Miss Gu, no need to thank me either. Just don't make me pay for that anti-theft door."

  "How could that be? Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry to bother you, although I know you're very busy, but I still hope you can go out and talk with me for a bit, just for a short while, okay?"

  Ye Feng thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then you wait outside for a while, I'll ride the water delivery cart to come find you."

  After thanking the service desk sister who informed him of the message, Ye Feng returned to the business department, signed the delivery note, started the water delivery vehicle, and drove around to the company's main entrance. After meeting with Gu Nian, he asked: "Miss Gu, what do you plan to talk to me about?"

  "Mr. Ye, how about this? Let's go to the café first and I'll treat you to a cup of coffee. We can talk about where to go next."

  Anyway, Ye Feng had already agreed and didn't have any opinions, so he followed Gu Nian to the coffee shop on the other side of the street.

  After sitting down, Gu Nian ordered two cups of coffee and asked Ye Feng if he wanted to eat any snacks. Ye Feng shook his head.

  Looking at Miss Gu, Ye Feng felt that she was making a big deal out of nothing. Whether it was an apology or gratitude, it was just a few words, why did she have to drag him all the way to this coffee shop?

  But since I've already come, I might as well hear what she has to say.

  After finishing his coffee, Gu Nian looked around and suddenly stood up, bowing deeply to Ye Feng.

  "Miss Gu, I told you, didn't I? You don't need to apologize to me. I understand how you felt at the time, and it's normal to say a few unpleasant words. I really don't mind."

  But Gu Nian seemed to have ignored Ye Feng's words and stubbornly continued to kowtow three times before sitting down.

  "Yefeng, I owe you an apology. It's not entirely because of what happened yesterday, but also because of another matter. Before I bring it up, I want to express my gratitude first." At this point, Gu Nian took out a card from his bag and placed it in front of Yefeng, continuing: "This card has 300,000 yuan on it, the password is six zeros. Don't refuse it for now, just listen to me. This amount may not be small for you, but for me, it's probably just the price of two or three pieces of clothing. I'm not trying to show off, but rather want to put your mind at ease so you can accept it without feeling embarrassed, because you deserve it. If it weren't for you opening the anti-theft door early on, my niece Xiaorou's consequences would have been unthinkable. After sending Xiaorou to the hospital, the doctor told me that her condition was extremely critical. If we had sent her three minutes later, she might not have made it. So you must accept this money. Compared to Xiaorou's life, this small amount is nothing. If I weren't afraid you wouldn't dare take it, I would give you 3 million."

  Ye Feng pushed the card back, smiling: "Miss Gu, I understand what you mean, but I can't accept this money. To use your words, it's not worth measuring the life of your niece Xiao Rou with such a small amount of money. I just did something that was important to you, but easy for me to do, and there's no need to talk about accepting such a generous reward. I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't take this money."

  Gu Nian bit her red lips and said, "Ye Feng, don't refuse me first. Actually, I gave you this money for another reason, which is also why I apologized to you just now. I'm a person who means what I say, and many people think my temper is too rigid and my attitude is too arrogant. I won't explain myself, I have my own principles for being a person and handling things, and it doesn't matter how others see me. But in this matter with you, I must apologize to you, because I really did misunderstand you and I really was wrong. If possible, no matter what your requirements are, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to make up for it."

  After listening for half a day, Ye Feng still didn't understand what she was talking about, so he asked: "Miss Gu, what do you want to say? I don't understand."

  Gu Nian took a sip of coffee, cleared his throat, and then said: "Ye Feng, didn't you used to work on the post-greening project in the Tianyuan Villa District? The leader of your engineering team was named Du Lijun, right?"

  Ye Feng felt strange, Gu Nian was indeed right, but how did she know?

  "Miss Gu, what you said is correct, but I don't remember seeing you before. Are you the owner of this villa?"

  "I'm not the owner, but the daughter of the big boss behind the scenes who contracted your engineering team. I say this, you should remember now."

  Ye Feng looked at Gu Nian, never expecting that she was the daughter of Gu Zhengyang, the boss of Hongli Group, the woman who had been accompanying Gu Zhengyang to inspect the progress of the villa's greening project and, after hearing about her own affairs, had not said a word before asking the boss to fire herself.

  "Yefeng, at the time I heard you had killed someone and were sent to a detention center, considering the company's image and worker discipline, I made the decision to fire you. However, I didn't deduct your wages, but instead gave you an additional bonus, which I believe you should have received. To this day, I still think my choice was correct. This may sound unpleasant to you, but it's my genuine thought. As I'm not a police officer or judge, I don't have the obligation to actively investigate whether you were wrongly accused. My responsibility is only to the company and the workers.

  Just two days ago, I heard that you were indeed wronged, and the real culprit was a policeman named Liu Yong and a woman who was having an affair with someone in a villa. Upon learning this, I immediately contacted Du Lijun and asked him to find a way to contact you, so you could return to work at the construction site. I don't know if he has already contacted you; you can verify that with him. Since my previous hasty decision was wrong, and it's not like we couldn't find you, I must apologize for my mistake and try to make amends."

  Ye Feng was speechless, the world is unpredictable, Gu Nian was the woman who fired him when he was at his lowest point, and yet he inadvertently became the benefactor who pulled her niece back from the brink of death at a critical moment. The twists and turns of life are indeed hard to explain in one sentence.

  Ye Feng's eyes fell silent, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly as he said: "Ye Feng, you must accept this money, because it is what you deserve. Whether it's an apology or a thank you, I know you may not care about either one. I had looked over your file before, so I remembered your appearance. Although now it seems like you've changed quite a bit. After Xiaorou's situation stabilized last night, I carefully thought back and can confirm that you are indeed the Ye Feng I fired back then. In any case, my apology to you is sincere, as well as my gratitude. If you want to return to work at the construction site or go work at any company under the Hongli Group, as long as you're capable of doing the job, I can help make it happen. As for this card, if you really don't want it, then just throw it away. Alright, that's all. Once you've made a decision, you can give me a call. Let me tell you my phone number now."

  Ye Feng smiled and replied quickly, "Miss Gu, past events are in the past, I didn't put it in my heart, you don't have to either. As for this money, if you insist on giving it to me, that's fine. Then please help me transfer this money to foreman Du Lijun, let him and my fellow workers from my hometown divide it equally. As for my work, I think this water delivery job is pretty good, I'd like to continue doing it for a long time. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

  "Since you insist, I respect your decision and will hand this card over to Du Lijun. One last thing, thank you. Alright, I should get going too, I still need to go to the hospital to accompany Xiao Rou."

  Two people stood up at the same time, and at this moment, a "ding" sound echoed in Ye Feng's consciousness again.

  "Congratulations to the space owner for gaining merit, this time earning 200 merit points, keep up the good work and gain more merit points."

  At this time, Ye Feng received such a hint of information and was no longer as excited as he was at the beginning, but he was still very happy to gain 200 points of merit value again, and it was also repeated on Gu Nian's body, which made Ye Feng somewhat unexpected, it can be seen that Gu Nian's gratitude towards him was indeed sincere.

  Two people walked out of the coffee shop together, exchanged a greeting and were about to part ways when suddenly two black sedans rushed over and screeched to a halt in front of Ye Feng and Gu Nian.

  Seven men got out of the car and quickly surrounded Ye Feng and Gu Nian.

  These people are none other than Liu Tiandong, Hao Jian, Zhao Chunnan and four ghost slaves sent by the Gui Lang sect who rushed to find Ye Feng for revenge after hearing news of him from the service desk of the Meng Yuan company.

  I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to "Bai Xiong, Nan Hu Wang, Wei Ni Shou Hou, Gu Yue Su Du, Yun Er Fei Zou Le" and other book friends who have rewarded and liked this book! Thank you so much!
