"Senior, what’s wrong with you?"
Noticing the change in Wang Qingqing’s expression, Xiao Yi felt a tightness in his heart and couldn’t help but show a hint of worry as he spoke.
"It’s nothing, I... it’s nothing."
Wang Qingqing took a deep breath, her face forcing a smile as she looked at Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, just now, thank you for helping my aunt find a job."
"As long as you and Auntie Li don’t think I’m being nosy, hehe."
Xiao Yi, seeing that Wang Qingqing seed genuinely fine, didn’t pay too much attention. Hearing her words, he smiled sheepishly, having not consulted Li Xiaoi and the others beforehand, he was concerned it might hurt their pride.
"How could that be, I really thank you."
Li Xiaoi glanced at Wang Qingqing, then at Xiao Yi, and couldn’t help but let out a sigh. As a woman and soone who had been through more of life, how could she not see the matters of Wang Qingqing’s heart? However, such aspects were out of her hands; ultimately, the resolution of these feelings had to be addressed between her and Xiao Yi themselves. If it had been earlier, she might have comforted her.
Previously, she had always felt that, with her talents and looks, she was more than a match for Xiao Yi, but now, she no longer felt this confidence. Xiao Yi actually had connections with Chen Jianguo. Moreover, from Chen Jianguo’s previous treatnt of him, their relationship was not a simple one. Xiao Yi could easily pull out a billion just because Wang Qingqing might be his girlfriend, intending to give Wang Qingqing a car as a eting gift; and because of a word from Xiao Yi, her job issues were imdiately resolved. How could such a relationship be simple?
Xiao Yi himself had already demonstrated exceptional performance, and now, knowing about his extraordinary background, even though Wang Qingqing was undoubtedly impressive, her background alone was a significant barrier. Whether Xiao Yi could truly fancy Wang Qingqing, she no longer felt certain.
"Auntie Li, there’s no need for such formality, you’ve taken care of so much, helping you a little is only right. Besides, I believe you will work hard in Uncle Chen’s company, and who knows, we might end up thanking you."
Xiao Yi felt the unnatural distance in Li Xiaoi’s eyes as she looked at him and slightly frowned inwardly, maintaining a slight smile as he spoke.
"Xiao Yi, you really know how to speak. We don’t have any skills, and at our age, how could we possibly help you? Going to Jianguo Group, we can only do cleaning jobs. Auntie Li might not be educated, but she isn’t foolish; do you think Auntie Li doesn’t know you just want to take care of us, give a way for us as a couple to make a living?"
Listening to Xiao Yi’s comforting words, and seeing the familiar, easy-going smile on his face, she knew he didn’t want her to feel burdened and was comforting her. Gratitude appeared on her face as she spoke.
At the sa ti, her heart increasingly marveled at what a good young man Xiao Yi was; perhaps the most outstanding and her favorite she had t. Born into such a prominent family, yet so nurturing and humble, without any arrogance, skilled in dicine, and a student at a prestigious university, if Qingqing could truly be with him, that would be wonderful.
Otherwise, if such a good young man were to be snatched away by another girl, it would be a real pity and regret.
Girl, I hope you really seize this opportunity.
Li Xiaoi glanced at Wang Qingqing, who was still looking down, and silently thought to herself.
But such a great young man, would he really fancy Qingqing? Surely there must be so interest, or why else would he care so much about Qingqing’s matters? The last ti Xiaohu had an accident, he was the first to step up, dealing with big matters and small, paying money, making phone calls, calling doctors... And this ti, he was in such a rush, and just now, when that skinny man reached out to hit Wang Qingqing’s hand holding the phone, Xiao Yi rushed out, his eyes almost seed ready to devour him alive...
Moreover, if he didn’t care about Qingqing, why would he be so nice to her, even specifically finding her a job...
However, it was unclear what his intentions truly were, whether he was just playing around, or if he was sincerely interested. After all, for all Xiao Yi’s good qualities, his wealthy background was clear. These days, many wealthy people chase novelties, just for fun...
If that were the case, it wouldn’t do, even if they didn’t need jobs, she couldn’t let Qingqing suffer. It’s okay if their family is poorer and struggles more, but Qingqing must not suffer. She’s clearly fallen deep now.
Later, I must help her probe him a bit...
In Li Xiaoi’s heart, she couldn’t help but begin to ponder deeply. She didn’t have a daughter herself, and in her heart, over these past two years, she had co to regard Wang Qingqing like her own daughter.
"How could that be, Auntie Li, you forget that Uncle Wang is a seasoned and experienced driver, there are many tis he can be of help."
Xiao Yi smiled.
"That’s true, our old Wang might not have many skills, but when it cos to driving, he’s second to none. Maybe not as fast as the young ones, but his driving is the steadiest. Over the years, except for the day Xiaohu had his accident, he’s never been ticketed."
When talking about her husband, pride flashed in Li Xiaoi’s eyes. Although she often criticized Wang Dawei at ho, outside, she always stood up for him.
"Well, that settles it. Uncle Chen’s group is actually looking for such a driver. YYour help might be big for them this ti."
As Xiao Yi watched the proud expression on Li Xiaoi’s face and listened to her words, his mind was stirred slightly. He had just casually ntioned it, knowing Wang Dawei had been a veteran driver for many years, but he hadn’t realized his skills were so notable. The image of Wang Dawei’s simple, honest face ca to mind, and Xiao Yi’s thoughts intensified; he smiled and said.
Earlier, he had noticed that Chen Jianguo never had a personal driver; most of the ti, Liu Yuan doubled as his driver. He roughly knew why— it wasn’t that he couldn’t find a driver, but he couldn’t find a reliable one. A driver, aside from a secretary, was one of the closest people around; often, they inevitably had to take calls or handle so matters in the car, and so business and important information couldn’t be leaked.
If Wang Dawei were to beco his driver, it could significantly relieve Liu Yuan’s heavy burden, and Wang Dawei was absolutely a reliable person.
By arranging this job for Wang Dawei and his wife, Xiao Yi wouldn’t make them feel like it was charity, letting him demonstrate his skills. The more Xiao Yi thought about it, the more feasible it seed, and he silently decided to discuss it with Chen Jianguo later.
"Really?"
Li Xiaoi asked with so suspicion.
"Of course, it’s true. When have I ever lied to Auntie Li?"
Xiao Yi smiled again.
"That would be really great if it could truly help Director Chen."
Li Xiaoi also expressed happily, but imdiately, she skeptically added, "How can Director Chen possibly be short of drivers?"
Wang Qingqing also looked at Xiao Yi with a touch of confusion on her face.
"Drivers who can drive are easy to find, but drivers who are stable and trustworthy are not."
Xiao Yi explained to the two.
"I see. You tell Director Chen to be at ease. Our old Wang is like a block of wood; his lips are definitely sealed tight. He absolutely won’t blabber about things he shouldn’t say!"
Having heard Xiao Yi’s explanation, Li Xiaoi’s face finally cleared of any doubt, and she excitedly told Xiao Yi. After speaking, she suddenly rembered sothing and anxiously added, "Let’s go, let’s hurry ho. If Wang knows that Xiao Yi has found him such a great job, he’ll be thrilled."
Wang Qingqing’s face finally showed a sincere smile for Li Xiaoi and Wang Dawei, while she gratefully glanced at Xiao Yi. She knew arranging for Wang Dawei to drive for Chen Jianguo would likely require Xiao Yi to speak with them, as otherwise, Chen Jianguo wouldn’t trust Wang Dawei, or else he wouldn’t still be without a driver to this day.
"Alright, let’s go."
Xiao Yi also smiled, observing the joy on Li Xiaoi’s face and the grateful look Wang Qingqing gave him. He couldn’t help but internally sigh at the vast differences between people. In this world, so people only think about profiting from others, wishing everyone was their pawn to squeeze benefits from everyone in the world, while others are so simple, so pure, so grateful. A small act of kindness ans a lot to them, and any help makes them so happy.
Helping Li Xiaoi lift her bicycle, picking up the scattered vegetables, grabbing the fruit, Xiao Yi and Wang Qingqing followed the excited Li Xiaoi towards her ho.
Upon reaching the Wang family ho, Li Xiaoi couldn’t wait to share the news with Wang Dawei, who first thought his wife was joking. A joke, working as a driver for Jianguo Group? That’s not easy, is it?
Only after she recounted the details did he realize she wasn’t joking, but serious. After being stunned for a while, he finally looked up incredulously at Xiao Yi.
