Rebirth in 1993, My Dad is a Returned Youth

Chapter 177 The Age of Competing with Dads
"What! Did you draw this?" Shu Yi looked as if he had seen a ghost.

I just thought he was an ordinary boy, but I didn't expect that I was wrong!

The colors of Li Kang's oil paintings are almost perfect, and he has a strong ability to mix colors. The characters in the paintings seem to be printed in the paintings.

Forming two sides, one positive and one negative, with the real Ye Yuqing.

When Ye Yuqing first saw it, she thought she was looking in a mirror, the person inside was so beautiful.

Her heart was pounding wildly.

Leo's painting is so good that all the praises I prepared before seem useless.

"Little Leo, you draw so well." Ye Yuqing happily pulled his arm, placed it in front of her chest and shook it back and forth.

Li Kang felt the soft touch on his arm and it was so nice.

I thought to myself, "These two paintings were not drawn in vain. It would be even better if I could eat pork tonight."

"Sister Yuqing, there is another sketch here."

Ye Yuqing's heart is now filled with this oil painting, and she has no interest in anything else.

"Put it away first and look at it when you get back. From now on you will be my idol! Great painter."

"What about mine?" Shu Yi was a little anxious, and Ye Yuqing commented on his words.

Although he admitted that Li Kang was good at painting, he was not bad either. Many people begged him to paint for them, but he was too lazy to start.

"Thank you, Mr. Shu. Yours is also very good." Ye Yuqing praised again.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit perfunctory.

"We can go now, Mr. Shu, you won't stop us?"

Li Kang saw that he completely ignored the injuries he had just suffered from the fall, and snorted in his heart, thinking that he was a lunatic.

Shu Yi was also hit hard. He didn't expect Li Kang to be so powerful.

But if the other person draws so well, how could he be an unknown person?

"Brother, you draw so well, let me introduce you to the Art Association. I am a member of it."

By getting Li Kang into the society, he would be able to get to know some information about the two of them, and he would have more opportunities to pursue Ye Yuqing in the future.

"Forget it, not interested."

He put away the two paintings and took a few rolls of film, including the negatives that Shu Yi had just taken.

"Did you really give us these bank cards?"

Li Kang held the bank cards in his hand and said jokingly.

Although five hundred thousand is a lot of money, it would not be worth it to get involved with a lunatic who is even more disgusting than Liu Guangzheng because of this small amount of money.

"Leave me your phone number. I will pay for Miss Ye's portrait rights in the future."

In order to avoid any further trouble, Ye Yuqing left her phone number without Li Kang's permission.

……

The two left the bookstore and got on a motorcycle.

A Mercedes came towards them and passed by Li Kang and the other man.

After the motorcycle passed, the person in the back seat asked the driver to open the window and look in the direction the motorcycle went.

"Mu Zikang?" Li Jianhua was a little uncertain.

Looking at the back, they look a bit similar.

I just got off work and was exhausted, so it's normal that I didn't see clearly.

When he got home, the nanny had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him.

"Are you back? You seem very tired today."

"Yes, a little bit. I have been working a lot lately. Many people in the company and unit are watching me."

"Then you should work harder for a while. You will definitely be promoted this time. You may even be the deputy mayor in the future."

Jiang Meiling said happily: "It's the mayor dad. If I hadn't graduated yet, I could have written about my mayor dad in my composition and I would definitely get a high score."

Li Jianhua touched his darling daughter's head. Although she was not his biological daughter, he had treated her as his own daughter over the years.

"Is Teacher Mu here today?"

"Come here, I've been walking for an hour or two."

"But I seemed to have seen someone who looked a lot like him downstairs just now. When Teacher Mu came, did he bring the girl with him?"

"No!" Jiang Meiling asked curiously, "Dad, do you think Teacher Mu has a girlfriend?"

No one knows a daughter better than her father. Li Jianhua saw through Jiang Meiling's little thoughts at a glance and could only sigh that girls should not be kept when they grow up.

He also likes a sea turtle like Mu Zikang and doesn't mind them dating.

It would be an honor for me if I could become his son-in-law.

"How is Mr. Mu's class?"

Jiang Meiling praised Li Kang endlessly, even though she had suffered a lot from him.

But it made the girl admire him even more.

I just feel that Li Kang is knowledgeable and has extraordinary insights.

"Hurry up and eat. After that, let's go to Sheshan to visit grandpa and grandma."

"Teacher Mu, everything is good except that it's a little expensive." Jiang Yaqin was also very satisfied.

……

"Sister Yuqing, come to my place tonight."

"Go to your place?" Ye Yuqing was a little hesitant. She had never been to a boy's house alone.

But she also wanted to see where Li Kang lived.

"I'm worried that Kevin is still guarding downstairs of your dormitory. We embarrassed him before. It might be dangerous to go back now."

What Li Kang said was a bit serious.

In fact, after Ye Yuqing and Li Kang left, Kevin ran away in disgrace.

How embarrassing, to be intercepted by others.

No matter how thick-skinned a person is, he wouldn't dare to stay here any longer, let alone a young master from Hong Kong.

If this were to be spread back, I wonder how many of his friends would laugh at him.

"Well, let's go see where you live."

She was also curious about where Li Kang would live after leaving Liu Guangqing's house.

"You live here?"

As soon as Ye Yuqing entered the room, she rushed in like a child and threw herself on the Simmons bed.

I didn't rest today, and even though I didn't have any internship, I still felt tired.

I ran with Li Kang from the school to the Bund, then from the Bund to Central Garden, and finally back to the Grand Hyatt Hotel where Li Kang was staying.

Although it is not a five-star luxury hotel, it is much better than the dormitory of South China Normal University.

There is no way. The dormitory conditions at that time are probably similar to those in the alley.

If we calculate based on the per capita living area, student dormitories are really not good.

A house of several square meters can accommodate four, six, or even eight people.

After all, it's not as spacious as living outside.

The house that Li Kang lives in costs fifty yuan a day, which is considered very good.

It is twice as big as Ye Yuqing’s dormitory.

The bed was also huge.

No wonder Ye Yuqing didn’t want to get up once she lay down on the bed.

"Quick! Little Leo, it's time to divide the spoils."

Ye Yuqing's eyes sparkled with stars, and she looked like a money-grubber, and she kept muttering, "I'm rich, I'm rich." "That Shu Yi is really a money-giving brother. He gave me 500,000 yuan just by saying so."

Downstairs, they had already checked the balance in their bank card.

Just a little more.

Ye Yuqing was excited and worried, she was really afraid that Shu Yi had set a trap.

"You earned this money with your own ability, so I'll give it to you."

Li Kang did not take the 500,000 yuan for granted, although it was a considerable amount.

It’s equivalent to half of his net worth.

"Why don't you want it? How can I take it if you don't want it?"

"..."

"I'm a little worried,"

Li Kang suddenly became timid at this time and was ridiculed by Ye Yuqing.

"I knew you'd be scared. Forget it. I'll call dad and ask him so you can take the money without worry."

Ye Yuqing was quite jealous of the money at this time. It was five hundred thousand for free.

If she could get it, she would be out of poverty now.

We have to thank Shu Yi, the poverty alleviation cadre, for this.

……

I called back a little early today. My mom, Wang Jingyi, was still in school because she was teaching senior high school students.

Only Lao Ye gets off work on time every day.

He came back after having dinner in the company cafeteria. When Ye Yuqing was still in high school, he often brought back some delicious food from the cafeteria.

For example, beef, roast chicken, roast duck and other delicious foods.

The chef in the cafeteria would even pack it for Lao Ye in advance and wait for him to take it home.

As for now, unless his wife asks him to, he usually eats at work and brings it back.

I brought some snacks with me today because I was going to play two games of chess with an old friend.

After Ye Yuqing went to college, Old Ye was not as dedicated to his work as before.

I used to think that if I improved myself a little, I could give my daughter a higher starting point.

But Ye Yuqing went to Shanghai, and there is a high probability that she will stay there in the future.

There was no point in him working so hard. He had wanted to introduce a young talent to his daughter this summer to work here, but Ye Yuqing did not come back.

"Now I just hope that I can do well at work and wait until retirement."

"Hey! Old Ye, how old are you? You're not even 45. It's your prime time in the system. If you work harder, maybe you can bring your family to Changsha. Then Jingyi will go to work in a key middle school in the city. Then Yuqing will naturally go back to Changsha."

"Old Xu, it's not that easy. I don't have anyone above me. You and I have supported each other and it's not easy for us to get to where we are today. I'd better be more cautious."

Old Xu is half a year older than him, and he is a member of the county organization department. He and Ye Jinhua have been good brothers for many years.

"It's not that there's no other way." Old Xu suddenly attacked and killed Ye Jinhua by surprise.

“What can we do?” He was indeed unwilling to retire in his forties, but Old Ye just went with the flow.

Old Xu said seriously, "Director Xiao Wang in our department, his father is from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. He seems to like your Yuqing very much and has mentioned it to me."

Ye Jinhua made a feint and turned the tables on him, "Haha, Old Xu, you're at your wits' end. You lose again."

Then he talked about what happened just now, somewhat helplessly, "There's nothing we can do, Old Xu. My precious daughter won't be back for the summer vacation. She's doing an internship in Shanghai. I heard that she's earned several thousand yuan in the past month. She doesn't even ask us for tuition and living expenses. There's no way the two of us can interfere in her affairs."

He shook his head and said, "Our daughter is grown up now, we can't control her anymore." This expressed the love and helplessness of a kind father.

"Do you make that much in Shanghai? A few thousand a month?"

He was also shocked by the high income in Shanghai. In comparison, the monthly salary of county-level leaders like them might not even be a fraction of that of others.

The good thing may be some invisible benefits, food and drink are all paid for by the government, there are gifts for New Year and other festivals, etc. It also gives you face in society.

If converted into money, there is really not much.

The phone rang at this moment.

"Hello, I'm Yuqing."

When Ye Jinhua heard his daughter's voice, he instantly turned into a dog, "Baby, where are you? Why didn't the call you made today come from the dormitory?"

"Dad, I have something to ask you. Something happened today."

At this point, he glanced at Li Kang.
As a result, the boy started writing articles after taking a shower and didn't even pay attention to her, the beautiful lady.

So she could only speak for herself.
"What's the matter, baby?" Ye Jinhua asked worriedly. When he heard that something happened to his daughter, he was worried that it was a big deal.

Because it was a trivial matter, my daughter never told them.

The last time I said this was when I was asking about stabbing someone, which made him very nervous.

Then Ye Yuqing told him about what happened to Shu Yi today, of course, she blurred out the existence of Li Kang.

Just say he's a good friend.

Ye Jinhua was furious after hearing this, "How can there be such a shameless person! He won't let me leave if I don't model for him. It's so shameless."

Finally, I heard that the local government actually took out 500,000 yuan just to paint a picture for his daughter.

"My dear girl, are you sure I just drew a picture for you?"

Ye Yuqing nodded, "Yes, my friend was right beside me at the time. He said I was the most beautiful fairy he had ever seen. And he insisted on giving me half a million just to paint a picture for me."

Even she herself couldn't help but laugh at Shu Yi. Ye Jinhua's face turned black when he heard it.

"How shameless!"

"So you took the 500,000?"

"Yeah, if we don't accept it, he won't let us leave."

Ye Jinhua pondered for a while, then said to his daughter, "Did he say it was a gift for you? And then took away the painting he drew for you?"

"Yes, and took the painting away."

She didn't tell him about the painting Li Kang drew for her. She was going to take it back to her dormitory and have it framed, but she treasured that painting so much.

Ye Jinhua was a little surprised. "Is there really a fool in Shanghai rushing to give money to my daughter?"

He was not sure, but there were so many rich people in a place like Shanghai. From his daughter's description, it seemed that he was really a rich but stupid guy?

But suddenly he realized something was wrong, "You said you left him a phone number? Did you leave him an address?"

"No. I was also worried that it was a bad guy."

"The other party will definitely find a way to contact you in the future."

If Ye Jinhua guessed correctly
Now she was a little worried about her daughter's safety, so she advised, "Yuqing, Shanghai is not safe, you should come back. Take a plane to Changsha, and then I'll have someone pick you up."

The only person that Old Ye could send to Changsha to pick someone up was the young Xiao Wang.

It's a good opportunity for the two young people to get acquainted with each other.

Ye Yuqing glanced at Li Kang again, feeling a little reluctant, "It's okay, Dad. I'll take good care of myself here. I'll be back after the New Year."

After getting the confirmed news from Ye Jinhua, Ye Yuqing was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait, Yuqing, you said you are in a hotel with your friend? Is your friend a boy or a girl?" Ye Jinhua frowned, his tone a little serious.

"Ah~? Girl, why am I out there with a boy?"

Ye Yuqing's nervous tone was caught by Old Ye.

After being a policeman for so many years, how could I not catch such details?

He sighed inwardly, thinking that it was not appropriate to expose his daughter at this time.

I can only remind her: "Baby, be careful to protect yourself when you are alone outside. Don't give yourself to others easily. No one in this world will treat you well for no reason. Except for mom and dad, you should be careful with others."

"I know, Dad." Ye Yuqing stuck out her tongue guiltily, "I won't give myself to others easily. Don't worry."
