Chapter 553: Chapter 564 I Helped You Handle It

Chu Minghui’s words were extraordinarily sharp, openly displaying his disdain for Li Yifei. Su Yiyi’s second aunt and her husband’s faces suddenly turned awkward. Technically, Chu Minghui’s remarks about Li Yifei also ant a loss of face for them, but since they were in a position of asking for favors from him, they dared not offend him at this mont.

At this point, Su Yiyi furrowed her brows and said, "Chief Chu, the Tax Bureau is indeed a good workplace, but for , I believe that being with the man I love would make

even happier. I appreciate your kind offer, but I only want to be with my boyfriend. If a job ans I can’t be with my boyfriend, then no matter how great the job, I wouldn’t want it."

Chu Minghui clapped his hands twice and said, "Indeed, love triumphs over all." He then shook his head in a manner that suggested he was annoyed by her lack of ambition and added, "You’re still young after all, unaware of the dangers that lurk in society and of how hard it is to find a job. You’ll eventually understand how tough it is to earn money."

Su Yiyi smiled slightly and replied, "It’s true that earning money isn’t easy, and being without money won’t do, but being with Brother Li, even if it’s just simple tea and als, even if it’s a modest house, I would still be very happy."

Chu Minghui looked at Li Yifei and asked, "Young man, you’re not bad, managing to make Yiyi so devoted to you. I’m curious, how much salary do you make a month now?"

Li Yifei found this Chu Minghui sowhat amusing. He was just a minor deputy chief, yet he acted as if he was all that important. Li Yifei had casually t people who were leagues above him in status before.

"Not much. Mile City is just a small place; I can only get a salary of around three thousand yuan a month."

"Hmm, three thousand yuan, that’s indeed not too low for Mile City. It’s enough for one to get by on their own. But I’m curious, do you have a house there?"

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "I’m just renting a place."

Chu Minghui let out a sigh and said, "You don’t even have a house, how can this be acceptable? These days, what girl doesn’t want to marry soone with both a house and a car? Without a house, what can you offer for marriage?"

Li Yifei laughed and replied, "We’ll save up slowly. There will always be opportunities."

Chu Minghui shook his head again and said, "Old Zhao, we’re in the sa system after all. If there’s anything, I ought to look out for you. I see your niece is quite a catch. If she were to work in the Tax Bureau, her prospects would be much brighter. So leaders in the Provincial Bureau still have children who are unmarried. I can introduce her to them at that ti. With a job and her looks, she would easily marry into one of these leaders’ families. Then, Old Zhao, you would have great backing, and getting your position regularized would be much easier. Later, wouldn’t it also be a straight path for your own children to get into the Tax Bureau?"

Chu Minghui had his eye on Su Yiyi, but he couldn’t outright say that he was interested, so he dangled this attractive offer instead. If Su Yiyi and Li Yifei’s relationship fell through, she could co to him for a job, and then it would be perfectly tily for him to make his move.

These words from Chu Minghui indeed tempted Su Yiyi’s second aunt. Su Yiyi’s father hadn’t been doing well, and if one were to consider the family’s circumstances, then Su Yiyi would have been considered a burdenso student. However, her father had since quit gambling, lightening that burden. If Su Yiyi were to work in the Tax Bureau, with her looks, she really would be an outstanding girl. Then, when it ca to choosing a boyfriend, soone like Li Yifei, just a minor manager, would not be a suitable match for her.

It wasn’t that Su Yiyi’s second aunt was overly materialistic, but as an elder, who wouldn’t want their family’s child to marry into a good household, especially given Su Yiyi’s promising prospects. She didn’t want Su Yiyi to give those up.

Yet, this ant urging Su Yiyi to break up with Li Yifei, sothing she couldn’t bring herself to say, so she subconsciously looked at Su Yiyi without uttering a word.

Seeing the excitent in the eyes of Su Yiyi’s aunt and her husband, Chu Minghui felt secretly pleased and said, "Yiyi, one doesn’t necessarily have to marry their first love. Having more options is never a mistake. Young man, it’s not that I look down on you, but if you truly like Yiyi, then you should consider her future. Think about what you can offer her. Don’t tell

about ’love.’ When two people live together, it ultimately cos down to material things. Without good material conditions, life becos friction-filled, and even the best of relationships can’t withstand such strain. Forgive my bluntness, but with what you have achieved now, you can’t promise Yiyi a better life."

Su Yiyi was usually easygoing and never contended with others, but now, with Chu Minghui speaking so poorly of Li Yifei, she was truly annoyed. If it weren’t for the fact that Chu Minghui was going to help her second aunt’s husband with his job, she would have walked out imdiately. After taking a deep breath to quell her anger, Su Yiyi spoke indifferently, "Chief Chu, perhaps you’re right, a couple does need material security. But I, Su Yiyi, have endured much hardship since childhood, so no matter how hard it gets, I can bear it. Being with Yifei, even if it ans eating coarse food, would still make

feel happy. On the contrary, if I were with a man I don’t like, even if I had luxurious food every day, I wouldn’t be happy. Thank you for your concern."

Li Yifei was truly seeing Su Yiyi express her thoughts so boldly for the first ti. He clapped his hands appreciatively and said, "Yiyi, you’ve spoken well."

Chu Minghui’s face took on an unpleasant look as he said, "Really doesn’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. Old Zhao, it seems that even though I wanted to do a good deed, I can’t manage it after all. With your niece being so disrespectful to , I’m afraid I can’t concern myself with your matters either."

Su Yiyi’s second aunt and uncle’s faces drained of color in an instant, regretting that they had brought Su Yiyi to this dinner. Her second aunt imdiately said, "Chief Chu, please don’t be angry. The child doesn’t understand and doesn’t know about your kindness. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Chu Minghui said with a dark face, "No need, it’s truly the first ti I’ve tried to do a good deed and the other party is ungrateful. It seems I can’t do this good deed. Forget it, forget it, you’ll have to think of sothing else yourselves, I’m out of this."

At this mont, Li Yifei looked at Chu Minghui and then said to Su Yiyi’s second aunt, "Second aunt, second uncle, don’t worry. In fact, this matter doesn’t need him to handle it. I can take care of it for you."

"You’ll handle it?" Su Yiyi’s second aunt and uncle imdiately widened their eyes in surprise at Li Yifei.

Chu Minghui burst into laughter, pounding the table hard as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and said, "That’s quite a big statent. Well, I really want to see how you’re going to handle it."

Li Yifei ignored Chu Minghui and smiled at Su Yiyi’s second uncle, "Second uncle, you’ve been working at the Tax Bureau for over twenty years; it’s high ti you were made a regular employee. How about I make that happen for you?"

"This... this..." Su Yiyi’s second uncle was at a loss for what to say.

Su Yiyi’s second aunt frowned and said with a bitter smile, "Yifei, I know what you’re trying to do. Let’s not be so stubborn. Chief Chu is just trying to be kind. We should apologize to him, that’ll be the end of it."

With a grand wave of his hand and in a sardonic tone, Chu Minghui said, "That’s not necessary. The young man speaks with such confidence. He must have his ways. I certainly don’t have the influence he claims to possess."

Chu Minghui would never believe that Li Yifei could accomplish such a thing. Even if Li Yifei had significant connections, Chu Minghui’s own father was a leader at the Provincial Bureau and wouldn’t dare claim he could turn a temporary worker into a permanent staffer so easily. How could Li Yifei, a Mile City native and rely a small company manager, have such power?

At this point, Su Yiyi’s second aunt really started to panic. If Chu Minghui truly decided not to help her husband, her husband might really lose his job. And here was Li Yifei making big claims which could only make the situation tenser. Her face set firm, she said to Li Yifei, "Yifei, you can’t be so impulsive. Your second uncle has worked at the Tax Bureau for so many years; he definitely couldn’t handle moving to a new place. It’s not easy to get Chief Chu’s help; we can’t afford to offend him. Hurry up and apologize to Chief Chu." As she spoke, she gestured to Su Yiyi behind Chu Minghui, hoping Su Yiyi would persuade Li Yifei as well.

Su Yiyi understood Li Yifei better than anyone. She knew he wasn’t the kind to make empty promises. Since he said he could resolve her second uncle’s job situation, then he would undoubtedly make it happen. She smiled at her second aunt, casting a reassuring glance.

Su Yiyi’s second aunt didn’t comprehend the aning behind that look. Even if she did, she wouldn’t believe Li Yifei could really achieve such a thing. If Li Yifei could handle such a big matter, would he still just be a minor manager in a company?

Chu Minghui leisurely took a sip of his drink and said, "Hey, kid, didn’t you say you would handle it? Then go ahead and take care of it now. I want to see what kind of capable persons you can find to carry out such a task."

Li Yifei smiled lightly, "It’s not a big deal. It’s just a phone call away."

Chu Minghui’s face turned cold as he retorted, "That’s quite the bold claim. Then hurry up and make that call. If you can resolve this with a single phone call, then my na Chu can be read upside down."

Li Yifei casually took out his phone and said, "Sorry, whether you turn it upside down or not, has nothing to do with ."

His words carried an unmistakable edge of discourtesy. Chu Minghui’s expression grew even more unsightly. He snorted, "Boy, don’t be too arrogant. This is the provincial capital, not a small city like Mile City. So people here you can’t afford to offend."
