Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Old Place, Old Friend

Ask her to come home?

Ha ha!

Well, that certainly sounds pleasant!

Can he really utter those words without feeling disgusted?

She and he had cut off all ties five years ago, so what ’home’ is he talking about?

"Ying Zi, is everything fine with you? Cheng Ye probably noticed her silence and asked again.

"I’m doing well. Just a few days ago I took my baby boy out for a stroll."

Zhu Qianying didn’t want Cheng Ye to worry. Although she was secretly visiting her son, when she mentioned it, it became a wonderful mother-son reunion.

In reality, those two nights and three days were indeed precious mother-son reunion time. How this reunion came about and what means were used didn’t matter. As long as the result was positive, that was enough.

"Is that so? That’s good then."

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Ye initially wanted to tell her about Yan Han’s visit to M country and how he tactfully resolved her threats and obstacles.

But when the words reached his mouth, he changed his mind.

"Yes, that’s right. So, I obediently returned to work from my leave. Look at how proactive I am, boss. Do I deserve a bonus?" Zhu Qianying replied with a smile.

"Sure thing. I’ll give you a one percent increase in your sales commission."

Cheng Ye has always been a generous boss, especially when the employee is someone he appreciates and cares about like Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying was just joking... but after hearing his serious response, she was a little stunned.

"Cheng, I was just joking! You should use that one percent for expanding the business."

Who wouldn’t want money?

Especially Zhu Qianying, a money lover. But her love for money only extends to what she rightfully earned.

Anything more than that, even if it’s just a bit, she wouldn’t want!

Cheng Ye must have anticipated her splurging upon returning home. Hence, he’s finding ways to give her more money. However, she’s just his employee. She receives the salary and bonuses she should be getting, and accepting an additional one percent seems like she’s being kept.

Five years ago, she threw herself into a pit because of two hundred million. Five years later, she did not want history to repeat itself.

Her refusal was something Cheng Ye seemed to have anticipated.

"I’m not asking you to accept it for nothing! Since you’re in L city, you can help out with the business there. If we meet the target, I’ll increase your sales commission by one percent."

This win-win proposition by Cheng Ye was something Zhu Qianying liked.

"Deal!"

Even though Cheng Ye was trying to give her money, he knew how to make the exchange based on her efforts.

As for Yan Han, he only knew how to give, whether it was money or anything else.

Maybe because she had returned to L city, Zhu Qianying started to subconsciously compare Cheng Ye and Yan Han.

However, there was no need nor any basis for comparison between the two.

After finishing the phone call with Cheng Ye, Zhu Qianying cooked some noodles for herself, ate them, took a shower, and then went to sleep blissfully.

The next day, she slept until eight, cleaned up, put on her sunglasses, and went out. First, she made a round at Ying Jewelry, making some efforts for that one percent more commission. After that, she aimlessly wandered the streets.

But to say aimlessly isn’t exactly accurate because during this time, she visited two real estate agencies to look at houses and gathered some useful information.

The rest of the time, she was indeed just loitering around.

After being away for five years, the city surprisingly remained the same.

Even the dessert shop around the corner still had the same bunch of colorful wind chimes hanging at the entrance. She passed by the entrance and habitually stretched out her hand. The wind chimes made a series of crisp and pleasing sounds under her fingers.

Further down, there was a small boutique selling various interesting trinkets.

There were antique bamboo pen holders and small baskets to hold crickets. In the past, Zhu Qianying could spend hours in this shop.

Zhu Qianying opened the beaded curtain and walked in.

Upon seeing her, the boss lady was slightly stunned but quickly became excited, "Oh my, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you, Little Sister!"

Zhu Qianying had been coming to this shop since she was twelve or thirteen years old, so the boss lady had always referred to her as Little Sister.

"Hello, Auntie!" Zhu Qianying was not resistant to the nickname that had accompanied her for several years. On the contrary, it made her feel warm.

In M country, she didn’t realize how much she missed L city.

But now, she found that every grass and brick here was filled with her old memories.

The familiar scenes and the familiar faces were like tentacles, slowly stirring up the forgotten memories from the depths of her heart, gradually forming a clear picture of the past.

Being an optimistic person, what she remembered were the happy moments from the past.

When she was twelve, she ran into this small shop to hide from Zhu Haokang. It was here that she discovered an interesting world of wonders.

"We have got a lot of new things, they are in area B, you can go check it out yourself, little sister," said the boss lady who still treated her like the little girl who used to run over to dig for interesting things as soon as she had some pocket money.

Now, Zhu Qianying had been to many places and seen many things, much more than what these little trinkets could offer. Naturally, she could afford much more expensive things too.

But after hearing the boss lady’s greeting, she still energetically walked to area B and sat in her favorite corner. She picked up some cute trinkets and began to examine them carefully.

Her world could be very big.

But it could also be very small.

In a big world, she could spread her wings and fly freely.

In a small world, she could sit or crouch as she pleased, fascinated by a trinket that costs ten or eight Yuan.

She crouched in that corner for two to three hours. When she finally stood up, her basket was filled with trinkets she had picked out.

"Auntie, I’ll take these."

Zhu Qianying walked up to the cashier with her basket. The boss lady handed her a cup of water as usual, and then took the items from the basket and calculated the total cost. She still gave Zhu Qianying a 10% discount.

Zhu Qianying drank the water all at once, paid the money, said "Thank you, Auntie" and, carrying her newly bought treasures, happily exited the shop.

Because she had taken off her sunglasses inside the little shop, when she exited, the beautiful sunny view outside surprised her. Her lips curled up in an involuntary smile. She was absolutely delighted.

"Did you strike gold? You seem very happy."

A mocking voice came unchecked, assaulting her ears!

Zhu Qianying got startled. She tried to run, but the man was already prepared. His long arm stretched out, and the next second, Zhu Qianying found herself crashing heavily into a broad chest!
