I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 103 Remembering When We Were Young (2)

Qiao Qingyu clenched her hands.

She gave Lu Ye a slight smile.

Lu Ye smiled foolishly in response, knowing that by doing so, Qiao Qingyu must understand his intentions–she was thanking him.

Ah, what was their relationship, after all? There was no need to mention thanks.

Of course, if she wanted to thank someone, she could let He Xiuyu say it to him instead.

Qiao Qingyu asked calmly, "Lu Ye, transforming 3000 mu of wasteland into experimental fields directly managed by the provincial city, was it a direct order from the higher-ups, or was it your suggestion?"

Lu Ye replied without hesitation, "The leaders didn’t have this idea; it was my suggestion. Qiao Qingyu, you don’t need to thank me, after all, we are old friends."

This time, Qiao Qingyu was certain it was Lu Ye’s doing.

It had nothing to do with anyone else, so she looked at the other few people in the meeting room and said cheerfully, "I want to speak with Lu Ye alone for a moment."

Vice Director Qian quickly ushered the other two people out, "Let’s go, we’ll talk in the next office."

The two felt the atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit strange, then, taking their pens and notebooks, they left the meeting room, while Mr. Qian stood at the door and raised his voice saying, "Jade, I’ll be in the next office, just call out if you need anything."

Then he deliberately left both doors of this meeting room open.

No matter what, some appearances still had to be maintained.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t care about this at all, she silently ground her teeth, still holding back her anger as she asked Lu Ye, "Lu Ye, why did you do this?"

Lu Ye really wanted to say, he couldn’t bear to see her suffer, to toil, to work under the scorching sun in the fields.

But such cheesy words could never be uttered by him, not even in his next life.

He grinned, revealing a set of shiny white teeth, his narrow, fox-like eyes flashing a glint of light. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

His words were also infuriating.

"Comrade Qiao Qingyu, the 3000 mu of thousand silk hemp is no small matter, you, a young lady, can’t bear such a big responsibility. It’s better to hand over the 3000 mu of thousand silk hemp to the provincial city as an experimental field–that would be the best choice for you."

Qiao Qingyu really wanted to roll her eyes.

"Lu Ye, do you know what your current behavior is called?"

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment then involuntarily asked, "What’s wrong with my behavior? Is there a problem?"

Looks like Lu Ye still thought he was doing the right thing.

Then he continued, "I know you want to thank me, but there’s no need. When it’s time to harvest, you can come here and see. After all, you were the one who managed the planting here, and everyone has seen your efforts and hardships."

Then he added, "Changing to a provincial experimental field isn’t so easy, so you don’t need to thank me too much, Qiao Qingyu."

Qiao Qingyu stepped forward, glaring menacingly at Lu Ye, "Lu Ye, I’ll ask you one last time, has this decision been finalized, or is it still under discussion?"

"There hasn’t been a final decision; after all, you’re one of the contractors, your signature and agreement are needed."

Qiao Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. That was good as otherwise, she would have been furious. Here she was, carrying out successful projects that were just starting to expand, and this cunning Lu Ye wanted to reap the benefits. Dream on if he thinks he can take food out of King Qiao’s mouth.

"Lu Ye, I thank you for your kindness, but do you know what your current actions are categorized as?"

"What are they?" Lu Ye chuckled, "Definitely helping others for joy."

"Joy my foot!"

Qiao Qingyu, furious, scowling, picked up a notebook from beside her and threw it at Lu Ye.

"You sneaky fatty, do you know how hard it was for me to contract these 3000 mu of wasteland? Do you know how happy I was when the thousand silk hemp seeds began to sprout? Do you know what my future plans are?"

Lu Ye, after all, had grown up. When the notebook was thrown, he accurately caught it, still somewhat apprehensively looking at Qiao Qingyu, wondering how they had ended up arguing, he involuntarily asked, "Plans, what plans do you have?"

"Do my plans have anything to do with you? Are you my leader or my boss? Am I under your management?"

Lu Ye, "..."

"But I was also thinking of your well-being. You grew up in the countryside, you know how hard farming is. 3000 mu of wasteland, even if you were collaborating with Xiaxi Commune, do you know how much hardship you would face in the future?"

"This has nothing to do with you, I just want to know if you have any other motives?"

"What motives could I have? I just didn’t want you to struggle so much."

At this point, Lu Ye became somewhat agitated, the annoyance he had been suppressing in his heart suddenly erupted, his eyes even reddening a bit.

"Qiao Qingyu, we’ve been apart for four years, not fourteen or forty. I recognized you immediately. How could you forget who I am?"

"Is it my fault? When you left the Qiao Family Team, you were a chubby kid over a hundred pounds; suddenly you grow tall, and I’m supposed to recognize you?"

Lu Ye pointed to his face, "Haven’t you been looking at this face for six years?"

"Could your face back then be the same as it is now?"

The narrow, fox-like eyes on a slim face looked handsome, but on a chubby face full of meat, it left a mere slit.

It wasn’t her fault.

No one would recognize him even if he returned to the Qiao Family Team now.

Lu Ye took a deep breath, somewhat disillusioned.

He didn’t want to talk about this anymore.

"Alright, let’s not talk about whether you recognize me. I just want to ask you, why do you want to make life so hard for yourself? Tenghai Research Base has so many derivative positions, He Xiuyu could easily find you one, which would be better than farming."

"Lu Ye, what kind of thinking is that? What’s wrong with farming? Have you become so snobbish after studying abroad for two years?"

"It’s not about that. I’m talking about you. Even if you don’t want to work, you could continue your education. The college entrance exam has been restored for several years now. With your intelligence, if you just settled down, you could entirely get into university...

I’m not saying that farming is bad, nor am I looking down on people; I just think it’s really too hard for you..."

Qiao Qingyu leaned on the desk, thoughtfully sizing up Lu Ye. At that moment, she believed that what Lu Ye said was true, not a joke or a trick.

But these truly had nothing to do with him.

She didn’t want to take this path either. Everyone knew how hard farming was, but she had a laboratory space in her hands, so many excellent seeds. If she didn’t spread these seeds across Huaxia Land, wouldn’t she be letting down heaven’s arrangement?

Being reborn and traveling through books, all the impossibilities now became possible before her.

So, how could she possibly do nothing and just drift along?
