Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1349 - 1338: A Family of Cannon Fodder

"Sis, why do I still have to study overseas?" After dinner, Ye Wang hurried into Ye Qiu’s room and asked.

Ye Qiu looked at him in surprise, "If you don’t study abroad, do you think you can attend a good university here?"

"Then won’t I be apart from Yixue for a few years?" Ye Wang complained.

"It’s not like you can’t come back during those years. After a year, when you’ve improved yourself and can surprise Yixue, you can come back often during school vacations, right?"

"But how many times will that really be?"

"There needs to be a sense of freshness between a man and a woman; seeing each other every day doesn’t necessarily enhance emotions. Besides, by next year you’ll just be of age. You don’t think just changing Yixue’s impression will make her accept your pursuit, do you?"

Ye Wang fell silent after hearing this; it was apparent he really did think so.

Ye Qiu patiently advised, "You need to think long term. I believe you want to be with Yixue forever, right? While you’re studying abroad, you can nurture your relationship with Yixue; once you finish studying and come back, you can naturally be together."

"But..."

"What’s the problem? Are you worried Yixue will fall for someone else in the meantime? Isn’t there still me around? And you should trust Yixue; the Goddess isn’t so easily won over."

"That’s right, no one can match Yixue. I need to better myself. Sis, in the years I’m away, I’ll rely on you." Ye Wang declared energetically.

Ye Qiu felt relieved, having achieved her goal. At least, for now, Cheng Yixue trying to influence her brother Ye Wang seems unlikely. Next, it was about Dad; has Cheng Yixue’s mom, Cheng Qing, entered Dad’s company?

"Dad, I’ve adapted to the university courses. Could I intern at your company during my free time?" The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Qiu casually brought this up with Ye Yuanan, "Going out every day has become dull."

"Is that what you really want?" Ye Yuanan asked in surprise, considering Ye Qiu was previously quite unwilling.

"Of course, Dad. I’m serious this time." Ye Qiu straightened her back.

Ye Yuanan smiled, "You’ve truly grown up. Yesterday you were considerate of your brother, and today, even of yourself. So tell me, which department would you like to go to?"

"Human resources, perhaps. I don’t know much about our family company yet. I want to start by understanding the staffing needs of various departments; even if I don’t learn much, at least I’ll know the people, right?"

"Hmm, that’s a pretty good idea." Ye Yuanan nodded, "In that case, go change your clothes and come with me to the company shortly."

"Okay, thank you, Dad." Ye Qiu didn’t have any notions of hiding her identity; after all, she hadn’t graduated from university yet and wouldn’t be able to work full-time. Besides, just as a minor employee, what rights would she have to deal with Cheng Qing?

Ye Qiu’s arrival caused quite the stir in the company, as she is the Miss and might one day inherit the company. However, she was amiable, treating the HR department to afternoon tea as soon as she arrived, and she was humble in asking questions she didn’t know, so everyone was happy to teach her. In just one day, they developed a sense of approval for her.

"The finance department is currently looking to hire some experienced accountants. Does the Eldest Lady have any interest in coming with us to take a look?" A colleague from the same department asked enthusiastically.

Ye Qiu smiled warmly, "Since I’m now part of the department, why call me Eldest Lady? It’s not like we live in a feudal society anymore; just call me Ye Qiu."

"Alright then, Ye Qiu, would you like to see how we conduct interviews?"

"Sure!"

It was either great timing or just fortuitous, but among the interviewees today was Cheng Yixue’s mother, Cheng Qing. She seemed to recognize Ye Qiu and was visibly surprised, but since Ye Qiu should not have known her at the time, she showed no other expression, just a slight displeasure at her surprise.

Ye Qiu was unaware of how effective her frown had been; before she even needed to do anything, the HR manager put a cross on Cheng Qing’s resume.

"Manager, why didn’t you hire that Cheng Qing just now? She seemed quite qualified?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.

"At first sight of you, she was visibly surprised. For an adult that age to show such clear emotions, she either knows you already or isn’t stable enough. Since you don’t know her, her knowing you is suspect enough; it’s best not to hire such a person," the manager analyzed reasonably.

Ye Qiu nearly clapped her hands in applaud; this manager had perfectly aligned with her intentions. Her choice to come to the HR department turned out to be spot on!

Returning home after the interview, Cheng Qing felt inexplicably anxious. She had prepared thoroughly for this interview; there seemed to be no reason why it shouldn’t succeed. But why was Ye Yuanan’s daughter there today?

"Yixue, do you know that Ye Qiu has started interning at her family’s company?" she straightforwardly asked her daughter.

"No!" Cheng Yixue answered, surprised, "When did this happen?"

"Aren’t you good friends now? How come you don’t know about anything happening to her?" Cheng Qing somewhat reproached her.

"Ever since we went shopping last time, Ye Qiu hasn’t called me, and I’ve been focusing on bonding with Little Quan. I haven’t had time to see her. Mom, is something wrong?"

"No, I was just asking in passing," Cheng Qing replied, still uneasy and she advised, "Make sure to take good care of Little Quan, okay? He’s our chance to turn things around."

"Don’t worry, Mom. I follow the Master’s instructions every day, and Little Quan is very obedient and well-behaved; there shouldn’t be any major issues."

Mother and daughter assumed that the child the Master had them raise was some dark and evil entity, but unexpectedly, the child was as cute as jade, often playing with the toys they prepared and even calling them grandma/mom, which they adored. They named the child Little Quan.

"Obedience is good. Next time you meet Ye Qiu, take Little Quan along and have Little Quan help you absorb Ye Qiu’s Luck," Cheng Qing suggested with a smile. They had no idea that ever since they brought the child home, there was a faint aura of Yin Qi surrounding them. Although it wouldn’t affect them immediately, over time, no normal person would consider it a good thing.

But they were already captivated; even if someone from the Xuanxue World clearly warned them of the effects, they likely wouldn’t believe or abandon it.

"Little Quan, you must help Mom, and once we succeed, Mom will provide you with even better offerings," Cheng Yixue lovingly offered a platter of fresh fruit to the child.

Upon hearing this, the child immediately came out joyfully cheering her on for a circle, then went to enjoy the offering.
