Chapter 464 - Ji Feng"s Helplessness and DiscoveryEven though Li Yueqin said those words very casually, saying that she was bored and wanted to set up a stall, in reality, Ji Feng and Ji Shaorei did not believe her.
"Auntie, are you not going to do that job anymore?" Ji Shaodong asked.Li Yueqin saw that she could not hide it anymore, so she nodded and said, "It"s not that I don"t want to do it, I just feel that I"m an old woman. It"s fine if I do anything I want to do.
"Did someone say something behind his back?" Ji Shaodong asked.
"No, no. Auntie just feels that the position doesn"t suit me. Shaodong, don"t think too much about it." Li Yueqin hurriedly said.
"Really?!" Ji Shaodong asked."Of course it"s true! How could Auntie lie to you about this?!" Li Yueqin said, "Now that I"ve got a tricycle, I usually sell fruit at the market in front of the neighborhood. We also have a garage downstairs, so the monthly rent is only about four or five hundred yuan. It"s very convenient to use it as a warehouse and also store cars, so you don"t have to worry about it."
"But it"s not as easy as going to the market to collect money for the fruit, is it?" Ji Shaodong said, "Auntie, if you have any problems, please speak. I"m usually too busy to come here, so I don"t notice a lot of things …"
"It"s nothing, it"s really nothing!" Li Yueqin said.
"Then... "Alright then. Auntie, if you need anything, you must contact me in time." Ji Shaodong nodded helplessly. Li Yueqin was very persistent, so there was nothing he could do about it.
For example, this time, he clearly arranged a pretty good position for Li Yueqin, but she secretly refused it. Not only that, she even came to his home to do some small business and set up a stall … If she insisted on this, what could Ji Shaodong do?
"Boss, what job did you arrange for Auntie?" Ji Shaorei asked, "Was it because of that job you arranged? What"s not good about it, but why can"t Auntie say it out loud?"
"No, no. Shaolei, you"re overthinking it." Li Yueqin hurried to explain, "Shaodong arranged for me to go to a market near the district and be a temporary administrator. Normally, I only need to manage the fair scale and when I encounter customers who suspect that I"m lacking, I just need to re-evaluate them. This way, I will be able to earn more than 1000 yuan a month."Then Auntie, why did you …"
"Enough, Shao Lei. Since An Yi doesn"t want to continue doing this, then we"ll slowly think of a way in the future." Ji Shaodong said as he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Li Yueqin, "Auntie, do you set up a stall in the market every day?" "How do you solve the problems with the payment for your stalls?"
Li Yueqin said somewhat embarra.s.sedly, "I paid a very small fee. After all, I used to be a manager of the market …"
Ji Shaodong nodded and stopped asking.
Actually, even if he asked now, he wouldn"t get a very detailed answer. If he wanted to know the reason, he just needed to go back and check it out and everything would be clear.
What gave her a headache was that Li Yueqin"s att.i.tude was the same as before, there was almost no change at all.
She still treated Ji Shaodong and his brothers as outsiders. Even though they were outsiders to Li Yueqin, her indifferent att.i.tude made the three of them feel powerless.
A person"s level of effort was directly related to how much hope they had.
If hope could be seen, even if it was right before his eyes, then naturally, the effort would be strengthened. If no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to see the end, nor any hope, then he might be discouraged.
Right now, Ji Feng and the other two were in a similar situation. Li Yueqin"s att.i.tude made them feel extremely helpless.
One had to know that just before they entered, they had heard Li Yueqin"s hearty laughter. But after they came, Li Yueqin could stop laughing. Not wearing a cold face was already quite good.… …. The huge contrast caused the Ji Shaodong and the other two brothers to smile bitterly.
The young man called Xiao Fang seemed to have noticed something as he raised his head and stole glances at Ji Shaodong and the other two. He then glanced at Li Yueqin, vaguely understanding something, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes. Easy?!
Ji Feng was also sitting on the sofa, observing Xiao Fang. Of course, his movements were completely invisible. Even Li Yueqin and Xiao Fang did not notice that Ji Feng was observing Xiao Fang.
In fact, in order to observe a person, one does not have to observe them from their face or eyes. The human body is a whole body, and what kind of feelings you have may not show on your face, but a certain part of your body will definitely have a corresponding reaction to it.This was one of the basic skills that Ji Feng had learned in the training s.p.a.ce.
Xiao Fang felt the relations.h.i.+p between the Ji Shaodong brothers and Li Yueqin become less harmonious, so he slightly parted his legs and put down his feet that were originally slightly resting on the ground.
The person sitting on the bed also became a bit more relaxed.
All of these were habitual movements that made one"s mind loosen up.
Obviously, Xiao Fang was a little nervous earlier. That simple and honest smile of his made Ji Feng suspicious.
Actually, at this time, other than thinking about these things, Ji Feng didn"t know what to do. Li Yueqin"s att.i.tude really made him feel like he had a strong urge to curry favor with her. It was very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Ji Feng could only s.h.i.+ft his attention to observe the character of this Xiao Fang.
Ji Feng didn"t think that he was a bad person. Even though there were many bad people in society, as long as you were sincere in getting along with others, the chances of encountering bad people weren"t that high either.Actually, Ji Feng was observing what kind of person Xiao Fang was.
After all, he was now certain that this Little Fang was Li Yantong"s boyfriend. Furthermore, he might have already obtained Li Yueqin"s approval. Naturally, Ji Feng had to observe him carefully …Fortunately, Li Yantong and the rest came out quickly with tea. This cleared up the slightly awkward atmosphere in the living room, and everyone started to chat and laugh again.
Li Yueqin rarely spoke, and she occasionally heard a few youths talk about interesting things, smiling faintly.
"Yantong, you"re about to graduate from graduate school. Have you decided where you want to work?" Ji Shaodong asked.
"I still haven"t thought about it, and I still have half a year before I graduate. We"ll talk about it when the time comes." Li Yantong said.
Ji Shaodong nodded and said with a smile, "Do your job well after you come out. Those who study law are getting more and more attention. Who knows, maybe you will become a very famous lawyer in the future …"Li Yantong blushed and said, "Big Brother, don"t joke with me."
"I agree with that. Yantong"s academic performance is very good, and she is a very kind person. In the future, she will become a very conscientious lawyer!" Xiao Fang said with a smile.
"You talk too much!" Li Yantong glared at him.
The few of them started laughing, and Ji Feng grinned as well.
Li Yueqin was about to get up to cook, but was stopped. With so many people around, she naturally could not let her cook, not to mention that there was only a small stove in the house. It was likely that no one would be able to eat until nightfall.
Therefore, in the end, Ji Shaodong was the one who made the decision. It was not a waste to eat in the small restaurant by the door.
They all walked out of the room. Ji Shalei walked up to Ji Feng and asked in a low voice, "San-er, what do you think?""Are you asking about Auntie Li Yueqin or that guy called Xiao Fang?" Ji Feng rubbed the corners of his eyes. This kind of interaction between the two of them was tiring even for him.
"Of course it"s Little Fang!" Ji Shaolei said softly, "Isn"t Auntie Li Yueqin"s reaction within our expectations? It"s just that there"s a new kid today, so it"s even more difficult for her to say anything. Perhaps, she doesn"t want to say it …" You don"t have to worry about this. Just take it slow, people"s hearts are all fleshy. If you treat them well, they will definitely take it to heart. "
"How can I not be anxious!" Ji Feng shook his head."What else can I do?"
Ji Shaolei threw up his hands. "After all, the gap between her and us is too deep. How is it possible for her to be like a family when she wants to get along with us?" "Right now, the most important thing is to settle the relations.h.i.+p between you and Yan Tong. Since you two are siblings, this cannot be changed!"
"That"s right, that"s true!" Ji Feng nodded, "Second brother, you don"t have to say. Sometimes, your insight is quite good!"
"What are you saying!" Ji Shalei glared at him. "Then tell me, how was that fellow called Xiao Fang?" Xiao Fang, you don"t even have a name? You don"t even know how to introduce yourself. From the looks of it, you"re also an honest kid who doesn"t understand the ways of the world. "
Ji Feng laughed, "How do you know that he doesn"t know the ways of the world? "Maybe he intentionally refused to introduce himself?""Wha, what do you mean?" Ji Shalei stared in shock.
"Let"s go, let"s take a look first before talking. Let"s find an opportunity to chat with him!" Ji Feng said, "I feel that this guy is not very honest."
"Then let"s try him!" Ji Shalei said.
As the two of them walked downstairs, they saw that Ji Shaodong and the others had already walked far away. Only Li Yantong and the young man called Xiao Fang were waiting for them.
"What are you two doing so slow?"Li Yantong asked with a smile, "Going upstairs is because you guys are the slowest, and going down is also the slowest."
Ji Shaolei smiled. "It"s better to be a bit slower so that we can move more stably. No matter what you do these days, it"s better to be safe than sorry. "
"Second brother, you talk quite well." Li Yantong pursed her lips and smiled.
While the two of them were chatting, Ji Feng walked up to Xiao Fang and extended his hand out. "Little Fang, right? There were so many people just now, and I didn"t even formally introduce myself. My name is Ji Feng, and Yan Tong is my older sister.""Oh, it"s Yan Tong"s little brother …" "h.e.l.lo, let me introduce myself. I"m Fang Ming, your sister"s cla.s.smate." Xiao Fang immediately shook hands with Ji Feng with a big smile on his face.
The smile on Ji Feng"s face became even more radiant.
