I am doing well in the Siheyuan

When Sun Mingwang and others heard Ye Ming's words, they felt relieved and responded quickly.

"Thanks to big brother's tolerance, we will never dare to act like gangsters again."

"Yes, yes, big brother, let's get out now."

"We'll leave immediately, right now."

...

After saying this, Sun Mingwang led his men and fled in a hurry like mice seeing a cat.

Looking at the backs of Sun Mingwang and others fleeing in panic, Ye Ming shook his head in dissatisfaction.

Then, Ye Ming withdrew his gaze, turned around and came to Qin Ling.

Seeing Qin Ling still in a daze, Ye Ming couldn't help but stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and asked: "Girl, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Ling came back to his senses after hearing Ye Ming's words.

"Comrade, thanks to you for coming to my rescue just now."

Qin Ling calmed down and spoke softly to Ye Ming. At this moment, her gratitude to Ye Ming was sincere. If Ye Ming hadn't helped to drive away those hooligans, Qin Ling really didn't know how to deal with it.

Ye Ming listened and replied with a smile: "Girl, you don't have to be so polite."

“Seeing injustice on the road, we should draw our swords to help. This is what our new generation of socialist successors should do.”

Qin Ling couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and said, "You are such an interesting person."

"By the way, my name is Qin Ling. Comrade, what's your name?"

Ye Ming replied: "Hello, Qin Ling, my name is Ye Ming."

After that, Ye Ming and Qin Ling started talking. They were of similar age, both young people, and Qin Ling was more outgoing.

Therefore, it didn't take long for them to become familiar with each other. Through chatting, Ye Ming learned about Qin Ling's current situation. Like Zhou Xiaobai, she was in the third year of high school.

"By the way, Ye Ming, are you free in the next two days?"

At this time, Qin Ling asked Ye Ming who was standing aside.

Ye Ming replied: "I am free, what's the matter?"

Qin Ling said in a sweet voice: "To express my gratitude to you, I will treat you to a meal two nights later."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming shook his head and said, "Qin Ling, you have already thanked me just now."

"I think it's not necessary to eat."

Ye Ming rejected Qin Ling not because he didn't like Qin Ling, but because he saw that Qin Ling was still a student and didn't want her to spend money.

Ye Ming's answer made Qin Ling frown and said, "Ye Ming, do you look down on me?"

Ye Ming was somewhat embarrassed by Qin Ling's words: "Qin Ling, when did I look down on you?"

Qin Ling continued, "I invited you to dinner, but you refused to go. It's obvious that you look down on me."

"If you despise me, just say so."

Ye Ming was speechless when he heard this. His good intentions were to not let Qin Ling spend money, but in Qin Ling's eyes, it was like he looked down on her.

sweat...

Helpless, Ye Ming could only answer with a wry smile.

"Qin Ling, I don't want to eat with you because I don't want you to spend money."

"You are still a student. You should save the money you use to treat me to a meal for yourself."

Ye Ming's words made Qin Ling respond.

"Ye Ming, you underestimate me. Although I am still a student, I will work part-time in a small theater to sing folk songs in my spare time."

"I can make three bucks for singing for half an hour."

"It's no problem for me to treat you to a meal."

Having said that, Qin Ling paused, turned his gaze to Ye Ming, and continued.

"Ye Ming, I have enough money to treat you to a meal."

"So, just tell me, are you willing to let me treat you to a meal?"

After hearing Qin Ling's words and looking at the serious light in her eyes, Ye Ming was speechless.

At this moment, Ye Ming felt that the persistent Qin Ling was comparable to Ran Qiuye in the past.

Ye Ming had no choice but to agree to Qin Ling.

"I go."

Hearing Ye Ming's reply, Qin Ling's fair face immediately broke into a smile and he said softly.

"Okay, that's settled."

"Two days later, at 7pm, at Donglai Restaurant, see you there."

Ye Ming nodded and replied.

"Okay, see you there or see you."

......

After parting with Qin Ling, Ye Ming wandered around outside for a while, and then returned to the guesthouse of Juhong Steel Plant.

The next day, in a private room in the cafeteria of Juhong Steel Plant.

At this time, there was a large dining table in the box, and the table was full of delicious dishes.

Wang Yuan, head of the Publicity Department of Juhong Steel Plant, said with a smile as he poured wine for Ye Ming.

"Director Qin, today is a welcoming banquet, you have to drink more."

Ye Ming replied with a smile when he heard this.

"OK, all right."

Then Wang Yuan stood up, holding a wine glass, and spoke.

"Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses together to welcome our colleagues from the steel rolling mill."

As Wang Yuan finished his words, several steel plant workers who had accompanied Wang Yuan to welcome Ye Ming and others stood up and raised their glasses.

Ye Ming also stood up upon hearing this, and Yu Haitang and other employees of the steel rolling mill also stood up with Ye Ming.

Then, Wang Yuan, Ye Ming and others clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

"Director Qin, Haitang, please eat more food."

After drinking, Wang Yuan and other steel plant workers began to invite Ye Ming, Yu Haitang and others to enjoy the dishes.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

As the dinner was coming to an end, Ye Ming, on behalf of the steel rolling mill, toasted with Wang Yuan and others again to express his gratitude.

After finishing his meal, Ye Ming did not immediately return to the guesthouse to rest, but instead came to an open space and strolled around the Juhong Steel Plant.

There is a saying that goes, if you take a hundred steps after a meal, you can live to be ninety-nine years old.

Taking a walk after a meal is good for your health.

Ten minutes later, in an open area of ​​Juhong Steel Plant.

Yu Haitang walked up to Ye Ming and said to him with a smile.

"Director Qin, taking a walk."

Ye Ming, who was taking a walk, couldn't help but respond when he heard Yu Haitang's words.

"Indeed, walking after a meal helps digestion."

"Haitang, why didn't you go back to your room to rest?"

Ye Ming's words made Yu Haitang bite her lip lightly, and she spoke.

"Director Qin, I have something to say to you."

Ye Ming stopped and asked in confusion.

"Haitang, what do you want to tell me?"

Following Ye Ming's question, Yu Haitang took a deep breath, looked at Ye Ming with a firm gaze, and spoke slowly and clearly.

"Ye Ming, I like you."

After saying this, Yu Haitang felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders and heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, Yu Haitang clenched her hands and waited quietly for Ye Ming's reply.

Ever since Ye Ming came to the steel rolling mill and served as the director of the Propaganda Department and guided Yu Haitang in writing radio scripts for the first time, she had a good impression of him.

In order to have more contact with Ye Ming, Yu Haitang paid a lot and changed a lot.

In the past, when would Yu Haitang take the initiative to help others get food? But recently, when Ye Ming ate in the canteen of the steel mill, Yu Haitang helped him get food.

In the past, when would Yu Haitang be so concerned about a man? But during this period, whenever Yu Haitang was free, she would stay with Ye Ming.

Even after get off work or during breaks, she would visit her aunt's house (Yu Haitang's aunt and brother-in-law are Yan Fugui's son Yan Jiecheng and his wife), just to get closer to Ye Ming.
