Chapter 453: I'm even thinking of poaching him.

During the meal, Bai Zhi looked up at Ye Tiandong and asked casually, "Uncle, do you remember what I told you on the phone before?"

Ye Tiandong, munching on a steamed bun, also looked up, met her gaze, and asked, "You said a lot on the phone, which sentence are you referring to?"

His eyes flickered slightly as he spoke.

This shows that he actually knew what Bai Zhi wanted to talk to him about.

A sliver of anticipation even rose within me.

Bai Zhi said, "It's about when my maternal grandmother was imprisoned in a cowshed before she passed away. There were several sisters there who shared hardships with her. You know that."

Ye Tiandong responded, "Yes, haven't we already met Dr. Zhou's mother? She's recovered?"

“No.” Bai Zhi looked at him with bright eyes, “but I found out the whereabouts of another grandmother.”

Ye Tiandong took a sip of porridge and hummed in agreement.

Bai Zhi continued excitedly, "I've found out where Grandma Chen Zhen, whom I mentioned to you, is."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tiandong paused slightly in his eating of the steamed bun.

Did you find out?

Then Bai Zhi said, "I heard that she has been inquiring about Grandma Zhou's whereabouts, and at the same time, she is looking for my maternal grandmother's children, hoping to reunite with everyone."

She learned it once, following the plot of her previous life.

"Is that so?" Ye Tiandong lowered his eyes slightly, his tone indifferent.

"Uncle, once we see Grandma Chen, the whole truth will be revealed."

After finishing her meal, Bai Zhi wiped her mouth and looked at Ye Tiandong with a serious expression. "You really misunderstand my grandfather. Although he may not have fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband in my grandmother's case, everything that happened was beyond his control. He was also a victim back then. At that time, they were like fish on a chopping board, only able to be slaughtered and had no room to fight back. Those who haven't experienced that kind of despair cannot empathize."

"I won't say anything more. We can talk about this when Grandma Chen comes back."

Bai Zhi rested her chin on her hand and sighed.

"However, I'm going to the army now and won't be coming back for the New Year. I don't know if my grandfather will come back."

If he comes back, will he go back to Nancheng or Bincheng? It's the Lunar New Year, and the old man is all alone; it's quite pitiful."

She looked at Ye Tiandong with a solemn expression. "My maternal grandmother is gone, my mother is gone, and my beloved grandfather has also passed away. Now, in this world, my maternal grandfather and uncle are my only relatives. I really don't want to lose any of you."

Ye Tiandong couldn't stand it anymore. He looked at her with a deep gaze and asked, "I'm so young, how could you possibly lose me? Don't worry, I'll live to be a hundred."

“But my grandfather is old.” Bai Zhi’s face was heavy. “He’s seventy years old. He’s always wandering around like this. What if he dies far from home one day? We’ll never see him again. Wouldn’t that be a pity?”

Ye Tiandong, "..."

“I’m alright, after all, we’re from different generations, but you’re different, Uncle.” Bai Zhi looked at him and analyzed with a serious expression, “That’s your own father. You may feel disgusted and hate him now, but once you lose him forever, and he’s gone forever, you will definitely miss him like you miss my grandmother. You will also have irreparable regrets and regret that you didn’t reconcile with him and fulfill your filial duties while he was still alive.”

Bai Zhi's words caused Ye Tiandong's eyes to droop completely.

Remaining silent.

"Although I am young, I have experienced life and death, and I truly understand that feeling."

Seeing that Ye Tiandong had put down his chopsticks, Bai Zhi stopped the conversation at the right moment and asked, "Have you finished eating?"

“Okay, I’m going out for a bit,” Ye Tiandong replied.

"Are you going to see Manager Cui?" Bai Zhi immediately stood up, her eyes sparkling as she suggested, "I'll go too."

Ye Tiandong was feeling quite heavy and depressed because of what Bai Zhi had just said.

I want to go out for some fresh air by myself.

But when Bai Zhi suddenly mentioned Cui Hua, he realized that it was time to go and discuss work-related matters with that woman.

Thinking about what happened last night, he felt a little guilty and embarrassed to face her alone.

Hopefully, the young man at the hotel will keep his word and won't sell him out.

He said to Bai Zhi, "Let's go, let's go together."

Ye Tiandong first paged Cui Hua to ask where she was.

Soon, Cui Hua called, saying that they should go to the Nancheng Hotel immediately and meet there.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, Cui Hua was already waiting at the door.

She was wearing a black cotton coat and had her hair tied in a low ponytail, looking serious and capable.

Seeing the two of them approach, Cui Hua greeted them casually, "Boss, Dr. Xiao Bai."

"Manager Cui, did you sleep well last night?" Bai Zhi asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Cui Hua thought of what happened in her "dream" last night, and her eyes flickered slightly with unease.

She smiled and said, "It's fine."

Bai Zhi stood intimately next to Cui Hua, like a sister, and was very familiar with her. "After you finish your business, let's go for a walk and go shopping."

Cui Hua smiled at Bai Zhi, then glanced at Ye Tiandong and said, "I'll listen to the boss."

The implication is that she was just an employee.

Even outside of work hours, I can't make decisions.

After all, Bai Zhi is Ye Tiandong's niece.

"Let's go in first." Ye Tiandong put his hands in his pockets and walked ahead.

When we entered the restaurant, Mr. Yang had not yet arrived.

Ye Tiandong said to Cui Hua, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Eat something first."

The sudden show of concern surprised Cui Hua.

The strange feeling from last night resurfaced, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye, casually saying, "I bought some soy milk on the roadside and had it."

I drank alcohol last night and couldn't eat anything, but a cup of soy milk was enough.

Ye Tiandong called Boss Yang, who arrived quickly.

As soon as Boss Yang arrived, he showered Cui Hua with praise.

He said she was the most capable businesswoman he had ever met.

He also has a high alcohol tolerance.

"You've been drinking?" Ye Tiandong squinted at Cui Hua, asking knowingly.

Cui Hua didn't want to admit it, but faced with his seemingly blaming tone, she said defiantly, "I drank it. How can we talk business if I don't drink it?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Mr. Yang and changed her expression to a smile, "Mr. Yang, you have a huge capacity for alcohol too."

Mr. Yang laughed heartily, “That’s right, I’ve really built up my drinking capacity over the years.”

Cui Hua and Boss Yang started exchanging pleasantries, with Cui Hua saying, "Next time you come to Bincheng, I'll treat you to a drink."

Upon hearing Cui Hua's words, Boss Yang expressed his high expectations and gave her a thumbs up, saying, "I love dealing with such a forthright woman like you, who is not shy or reserved at all."

"Don't be surprised, I do have friends in Bincheng. Manager Cui, you'll be the host, and we'll drink until we drop."

"Okay, we look forward to your visit to Bincheng."

Boss Yang looked at Cui Hua with admiration in his eyes, "Manager Cui, your personality is just my type."

"Boss Ye,"
