A dozen seconds later, Zheng Shufen finally came back to her senses and asked, "Xiao Yi, is everything you're saying true?"
Qin Yi smiled helplessly, "Mom, do you think I would lie to you?"
Zheng Shufen sat back down and after a moment of silence, said, "If that's the case, then Xiao Yi, you did the right thing!"
Although Zheng Shufen really wanted Qin Yi to get married soon and was worried that he would have trouble finding a partner because he had been to prison...
Still, no matter how anxious she was, she wouldn't let Qin Yi become a rebound, raising someone else's child.
"What's going on with this Liu E? Letting her daughter go on a blind date with you when she's already pregnant with someone else's child!"
Zheng Shufen thought Liu E was being unreasonable.
She knew that she and Liu E used to be good friends. It was only later that she deliberately stopped contacting her for several years because of Qin Yi's situation, to avoid implicating her.
After complaining indignantly for a few sentences, Zheng Shufen held Qin Yi's hand and said, "It's okay, Xiao Yi. If Huang Shanshan isn't right, I'll find you other suitable girls. I'm sure we'll find someone!"
"Your mom still knows quite a few people. Now that our family is out of trouble, I can contact them again!"
"???"
Qin Yi's mouth twitched twice, and he almost fell to the ground.
Later, Qin Yi, unwilling to discuss the topic with Zheng Shufen anymore, fled the scene as if escaping.
Zheng Shufen, however, was a woman of action. She immediately began contacting her old friends and acquaintances whom she hadn't spoken to in a long time, asking if they knew any single, unmarried girls between the ages of twenty and thirty...
Qin Lei accompanied Zheng Shufen in the living room for a while before going to the bedroom to find Qin Yi.
"Brother, can you accompany me out this afternoon?"
Qin Yi, who was playing on his phone, looked up at her. "Sure. Are you going out this afternoon?"
"Yes, I have an interview scheduled for this afternoon, and I want you to come with me!" Qin Lei said a little shyly, "I'm a bit scared going alone!"
Her disfigured face and the four years she spent living in a junkyard had made Qin Lei quite socially anxious, and she was hesitant to go out alone.
Qin Yi was surprised. "An interview? Xiao Lei, are you looking for a job?"
"Yes, I want to earn some money."
In the past, Qin Lei didn't work because of trouble from people like Dao Ba. Now that the trouble was gone, she naturally wanted to go out and work.
In Qin Lei's heart, Zheng Shufen was getting old and her health wasn't good, so she definitely wouldn't be able to work in the future.
And Qin Yi, having been to prison, would surely have a hard time finding a job. So, she had to work hard to support the family!
Qin Yi originally wanted to say that he was there for the family and that she didn't need to worry about financial matters. But the words stopped at his lips, and he didn't say them.
Because it wasn't right for a young woman in her twenties like Qin Lei to stay at home all day. Going out to work would allow her to socialize, which was normal!
So, Qin Yi slapped his thigh, stood up, and said, "No problem. Which company are you interviewing with? Brother will go with you!"
"I won't tell you yet. You'll be very surprised when we get there!"
Qin Lei, however, kept it a secret.
Afterward, Qin Lei happily ran off to get ready.
"This girl..."
Qin Yi shook his head with a smile.
Half an hour later, after saying goodbye to Zheng Shufen, Qin Yi and Qin Lei went out together.
Zheng Shufen just reminded them to be careful and to come back early. She then sat on the living room sofa and continued to chat with her friends, still looking for a potential partner for Qin Yi.
Qin Yi could only feel helpless about the situation. He couldn't persuade her, so he could only let her do as she pleased.
They left the residential compound, hailed a taxi, and after about twenty minutes, arrived in front of a tall building in the city center.
Getting out of the car, Qin Yi looked up at the large characters displayed on the building, his expression slightly taken aback.
"Han Corporation! Xiao Lei, the company you're interviewing with is Han Corporation?"
Sensing Qin Yi's reaction, Qin Lei said with a bit of pride, "Yes, brother. How am I? I'm amazing, right! Han Corporation is one of the top conglomerates in our Haicheng, and their boss is the richest man in Haicheng, Han Sanwan!"
"Impressive!"
Qin Yi gave Qin Lei a thumbs-up.
"Of course..."
Qin Lei linked her arm through Qin Yi's. "When I was studying, my grades were always very good. Although I haven't worked in the past few years, all the knowledge I learned back then is still stored in my mind. When Han Corporation was recruiting, I passed their online test with the highest score and got an interview qualification!"
"My sister is outstanding!"
Qin Lei glanced at her phone, seeing that the interview time was approaching, and quickly pulled Qin Yi into the Han Corporation building.
Just as they entered the building, a red Porsche pulled up in front of the entrance.
The car door opened, and Han Xin, dressed in a professional women's suit, stepped out.
She looked at the retreating figures of Qin Yi and Qin Lei, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. "Qin Yi..."
A security guard at the building's entrance quickly approached and respectfully said, "President!"
Han Sanwan had already stepped back from the front lines, and most of the group's affairs were handled by Han Xin.
Han Xin was currently the President of Han Corporation.
"Who were those two people who just went in?" Han Xin asked.
The security guard instinctively glanced back into the building and replied, "Human Resources is recruiting this afternoon. They are here for an interview!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xin said nothing more and strode into the building.
...
Han Xin's interview location was on the eighteenth floor.
So, after entering the building, the two took the elevator directly to the eighteenth floor.
Qin Yi could clearly feel Qin Lei becoming increasingly nervous after entering. She gripped his arm tighter.
In the elevator, Qin Lei adjusted her mask every two or three seconds, afraid that it might fall off and expose the scars on her face.
Qin Yi felt a pang of heartache and resolved to find the "Bug Marrow Grass" and "Golden Flame Flower" as soon as possible to restore her appearance.
Upon reaching the eighteenth floor, as there were other interviewees besides Qin Lei, they had to wait in line, so they sat on chairs outside the office.
Qin Lei wore her mask the entire time and held Qin Yi's arm tightly.
"Brother, do you think they'll hire me? Will they be scared by the scars on my face?"
She was so anxious and nervous that she was almost in tears.
Qin Yi patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "No, they won't. Han Corporation is the largest group in Haicheng, and their employees are surely very cultured. They won't judge you by your appearance!"
"Didn't you say yourself earlier that you were the top scorer in the online test? So, you'll definitely be fine! They're hiring people to work, not models!"
Hearing him say this, Qin Lei's nervous and anxious feelings eased slightly.
"Qin Lei, are you here?"
At this moment, an interviewer who had just finished with the person before Qin Lei called out her name.
"Here, here..."
Qin Lei immediately stood up, picked up her resume, and walked inside.
