Chapter 13 Enigma

  When I got up in the morning, I found that Yan Qingcheng had already left without paying much attention to Cong Ye. I thought it was probably because Cong Ye wanted to go out alone or was a bit unhappy about not being able to find a job, so he might want to try again.

  By a little past eleven, Yan Qingcheng started to get worried. It was almost noon, and no matter whether he had found something or not, or if he was doing something else, he should have called himself back by now. Just as it was about to be twelve o'clock, Yan Qingcheng made lunch and sat in the clinic waiting for Cong Ye. Not until half past twelve did he see Cong Ye's figure appear at the entrance of the alley. As he walked closer, he found that Cong Ye didn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary, and only then did he put his mind at ease.

  "Wash your hands quickly and let's eat, the dishes are getting cold."

  Yan Qingcheng didn't ask Cong Ye what he was doing.

  "Oh, thank you sister-in-law, I'm actually a bit hungry."

  After lunch, Cong Ye voluntarily told Yan Qingcheng about the morning's events. When he mentioned that he had eaten breakfast and shaken off the person who was following him, Yan Qingcheng interrupted:

  "No wonder at noon time, I saw a young man outside looking around, after a while, he didn't say anything and left."

  "Sister-in-law, don't you have any biological sisters or twin sisters?"

  Cong Ye's abrupt question left Yan Qingcheng stunned for two seconds, and then she asked with a hint of amusement:

  "Have you seen someone who looks very much like me?"

  "Sister-in-law is really clever, at noon, I saw a woman in a three-story small building next to the 'Far East Real Estate Development Company'. At first glance, I thought it was sister-in-law. At that time, I was also wondering when sister-in-law came."

  "What's next?"

  "Later, I looked at the woman's attire and the temperament that flowed out of her body, and then I realized I had mistaken her for someone else. However, in terms of figure, facial features, and even hairstyle, they were very similar."

  "Did you go to Far East Real Estate Development Company?"

  "Yes, I followed that white sedan. The people in the car didn't enter the development company, but instead entered a three-story small building next to it, which was where the woman who looked very similar to my sister-in-law was."

  "What else?"

  "Afterwards, the three people left and the woman accompanied a very handsome man with an air of wealth, looking to be around 27 or 28 years old, walking out to the back shopping mall. Although I followed them, I didn't discover anything."

  "Thicket leaves."

  Yan Qingcheng listened and looked at Cong Ye with a concerned gaze:

  "Listen to your sister-in-law, don't try to provoke them again in the future. Those people are not ones we can afford to provoke."

  The gaze of Yan Qingcheng's concerned eyes made her heart suddenly soft and she nodded subconsciously.

  "Alright, I'll listen to sister-in-law."

  Yan Qingcheng didn't pay attention to what Cong Ye said, about the woman who looked very similar to herself and the man accompanying her shopping. So Cong Ye stopped talking too. Although on the surface he agreed with Yan Qingcheng not to provoke them again, in his heart he had already made up his mind to get to the bottom of things. If it was just because they forced the Yan Qingcheng clinic to move away, there would be no need for such a big fuss, so there must be other secrets hidden inside. Cong Ye always felt that he was not far from uncovering that secret.

  "What's on your mind?"

  "Oh, nothing. Sister-in-law, I think we can't just sit and eat away our assets like this, we have to think of a solution. If they don't come to cause trouble from now on, it's better for me to find a job in Lincheng. After all, it's only 40 kilometers away, and commuting is convenient. Besides, even if the boss of Far East is powerful, he won't be able to make everyone in Lincheng listen to him, right?"

  "Whatever, I've been thinking this morning that since the clinic can't be opened, I'll just go find a job too."

  "Then won't they also not let their sister-in-law find a job?"

  "I don't know, probably not, I found a job and got paid, so I moved out, they should be supportive."

  Cong Ye didn't think so, the other party was so forcing Yan Qingcheng, it's absolutely impossible to just let her move away.

  Although she was skeptical, Cong Ye still accompanied Yan Qingcheng to a private hospital the next morning. When they arrived at the director's office of the hospital, Yan Qingcheng briefly stated her intention and placed her graduation certificate and a simple resume on the director's desk.

  The dean was a man in his fifties, very fat, with slicked-back hair that made people feel uncomfortable at first glance. His two small and narrow eyes had been fixed on Yan Qingcheng's body since she entered the room. This made Cong Ye even more displeased. When Yan Qingcheng took out her resume, the dean finally shifted his gaze away, glancing down to take a look.

  "Yan Qingcheng, what a great name, truly lives up to it. Graduated with a bachelor's degree, worked in the internal medicine outpatient department of the First Hospital for three years."

  "Alright, do you want to report now or come over first thing tomorrow?"

  "Let's come again tomorrow."

  Before Yan Qingcheng could speak, Cong Ye hastily said. As if he hadn't heard Cong Ye's words, the fat principal continued to stare at Yan Qingcheng in front of him, waiting for her response.

  "Thank you, Dean. Let's come again tomorrow."

  After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to the dean and followed Cong Ye out of this private hospital.

  "Sister-in-law, you can't come work at this place."

  Yan Qingcheng as a woman, of course, knew what the dean's gaze at her meant. Without being reminded by Cong Ye, she wouldn't have agreed to come work at this hospital anyway.

  Afterwards, they went to two public hospitals, but neither of them was short-staffed. To put it another way, even if there were vacancies, they would not usually recruit from society.

  "Why don't we go find some small clinics to take a look?"

  Yan Qingshan knew that if she went to a small clinic, her salary would definitely not be high, and it would be difficult to afford her living expenses, as well as Xiao Hui's tuition fees. So at first, she didn't consider the small clinic.

  "Sister-in-law, let's not go today, we'll head back first."

  "Alright."

  Two people returned to the small courtyard in Dayan Alley, ate a simple lunch, and just as Cong Ye was about to go back to her room to continue getting familiar with the hot flow in her meridians, Yan Qingcheng's phone suddenly rang.

  "Hello."

  ……

  "It's me, Yan Qingcheng."

  ……

  "What's with the orthopedic hospital? I just went there."

  ……

  "Oh, Director Li, hello."

  Cong Ye, who had no intention of answering Yan Qingcheng's phone call, stopped in his tracks when he heard the words "Orthopedic Hospital". This was one of the two public hospitals they had visited that morning.

  "Going to report tomorrow? Didn't you say this morning......, okay, okay, I'll be there at 8 o'clock sharp tomorrow."

  ……

  "Outpatient building 5th floor, Vice President's office, okay, okay, thank you."

  Yan Qingcheng immediately hung up the phone and looked at Cong Ye beside her with a joyful expression:

  "Just now it was a call from the orthopedic hospital, asking me to report tomorrow."

  "Didn't you say this morning that there's no shortage of people, and even if there was a shortage, you wouldn't recruit from society?"

  "I don't know either, just now it was Director Li from the Dean's office who called."

  Not only was Cong Ye puzzled, but Yan Qingcheng was no exception. Although she had found a job, her heart was not excited at all. Both of them knew that there must be something fishy inside, and it should still be related to the Far East Real Estate Development Company. However, Yan Qingcheng, who was eager to make money and move, couldn't afford to think too much about it. She planned to go to work first, get her salary, and then talk about it later. For herself, she could barely hold on in Ri Zhao Alley, but Xiao Hui's living expenses and tuition were about to be due soon. She only had that little money left, and after sending some to Xiao Hui, she would have nothing left but to tighten her belt.

  "Let's ignore him for now and go to work first."

  Congye also knew the predicament of the two people in front of him and could only nod in agreement.

  "Tomorrow morning, I'll take my sister-in-law there."

  That night, the group of people didn't come to make trouble again. However, Cong Ye couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning with anxiety because he couldn't understand the true intentions of the Far East Company's boss. Why did they interfere when he looked for a job, but not only didn't hinder his sister from finding work, but even helped? What was that mysterious boss planning?

  Besides, since helping his sister-in-law find a job, why send people to make trouble? Obviously, those people didn't come just for themselves, because the sister-in-law had said that before she came, they had already made trouble twice.

  Furthermore, my sister-in-law had said that she was willing to change the relocation house from a three-bedroom apartment to a two-bedroom apartment, as long as Far East Company provided her with a temporary venue where she could continue to run her medical clinic. However, the other party did not agree.

  Contradictions, really can't think through. Cong Ye thought about it for a whole night and still couldn't figure out the thread.
