If it wasn’t because Qin Yi talked about the several high-ranking officers in the Beijing Political Party he had mentioned in conversation, and knew about where they lived. He was even invited as a guest into their homes and was able to talk about how a high-ranking official in the BPP liked to make dough figurines in his spare time, and the authentic paintings hung in his study room, such things that weren’t known to many…
After several rounds of feeling him out, only then was Ye Zhifan genuinely certain that this Qin Yi was truthfully a member of Beijing’s family of diplomats, the Qin family.
Only after making sure could he make small talk, could he endure the glances Qin Yi tossed at Ye Ying every now and again.
Ye Ying was quite happy inwardly, a young and promising diplomat… seemed to be attracted to her, does that mean she’ll have more hope in getting into the Beijing Political Party?
Not only did Ye Ying believe that even Sun Dongqing believed the same, she even thought if he was really attracted to her daughter, from being in a relationship to getting married, only then would her daughter fly to the top of the branches and turn into a phoenix!
The thoughts these mother-daughter pair were thinking did not escape Qin Yi’s eyes; only Ye Zhifan remained calm. He only wished to borrow Qin Yi’s connections to get Ye Ying into the military party, as to everything else… he believed in the power acting behind the jade pendant even more.
No matter how interested Qin Yi was in Ye Ying, he would never reveal a perverted look. When Ye Zhifan asked about Principal Cao, with the Qin family’s elegance wrapped around him, he let out a long sigh, “That uncle of mine is a boring person, even though he could move out of First Provincial High and find a place to be a government official, he insists on saying he likes to be a Principal. What’s so good about being a principal, after toiling for his entire life, even my heart aches when I look at him.”
“At least the students of First Provincial High are quite satisfactory, this time I’ve heard the National Top Scorer was from their school and brought glory to my uncle’s name. Otherwise, even I would feel sad for my uncle.”
National Top Scorer…
Ye Ying, who had been listening obediently, suddenly had her pupils shrunk to the size of pinholes; while she lowered her eyes, a dark, venomous look flashed behind her beautiful almond eyes.
Ye Jian, just you wait! When she gets into the military, even if you manage to get into a military academy, you’ll still be inferior to her for the rest of your life!
Ye Ying wasn’t the only one irritated by the National Top Scorer; even Sun Dongqing was irritated, she raised her voice and screeched: “What National Top Scorer? They say she got into a military academy or whatnot, who knows if that’s true or not.”
“What does it have to do with you even if it was true or not.” Having asked what he wanted to know, and sure that Qin Yi really knew several high-ranking officials of the Beijing Political Party, Ye Zhifan was afraid his wife’s jealousy would leave behind a nasty impression on their important guess and ruin their daughter’s future.
After a quiet scolding, he turned around and said to Qin Yi in a helpless tone: “Recently, the famous National Top Scorer mentioned on the streets is actually my niece. She has some issues with my family, and she had done some things that had hurt Ye Ying, that’s why my wife wouldn’t forgive her even till now.”
The reason for the explanation was because Ye Zhifan was afraid Qin Yi would make an investigation, rather than allowing him to investigate, it’ll be better for him to clear the air.
But Qin Yi did not care about such things at all, whether or not the National Top Scorer was Ye Zhifan’s wife’s niece, why would that have to do with him? It has absolutely nothing to do with him.
But in order to get his hands on the lily-like Ye Ying, Qin Yi pretended to wear a cold expression, and said with a tone that seemed to fight against injustice: “Anyone could see Director Ye’s daughter is an obedient and sensible girl, seems like that National Top Scorer is only so so.”
“Right right right, what Mister Qin said is very correct.” During the past few weeks, the most Sun Dongqing had heard about was how impressive Ye Jian was; even if she wanted to say some ridicule, she couldn’t even find friends that would go along with her, now that she suddenly heard Qin Yi said Ye Jian was only so so, she immediately resonated with him. She said angrily: “She’s just a stupid d*mned girl, if it wasn’t because Ying Ying helped her in school in the past, she’d even get zero on tests!”
