I'm Jealous Of Myself Everyday (QT)

Chapter 29: I'm Jealous of Myself Every Day

The adjutant led two soldiers in. "What's wrong, sir?" They were quite respectful to Wei Ye, their hands on the butts of their rifles, which made people tremble.

The adjutant offered to help, so Wei Ye asked them to take the two men to the police station and do everything according to the law. The two men's legs went weak when they were dragged out.

Wei Ye then instructed his staff to bring back the dismissed deputy manager, Li, and promote him to manager.

This was the first major action he took upon assuming office, characterized by swift and decisive action, and also by the imposing presence of a soldier.

The rice shop across the street, also owned by the Xie family, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but shudder. Meeting Wei Ye's gaze, it quickly put on a fawning smile.

Xie Shuyun took some good cinnabar from the storeroom, walked out of the pharmacy, and still followed behind Wei Ye. He said, "Sister-in-law is doing a great job managing the household. My elder brother will be happy to know."

“Your elder brother is gone, I can’t let his hard work go to waste.” Upon hearing Xie Wenxiu’s name, a shadow of sadness flashed across Wei Ye’s eyes, but he quickly regained his spirits and smiled slightly. “Thank you for earlier. You are still young and not married yet, but your family will give you one hundred silver dollars every month from now on. Remember to send someone to the accounting office to collect it.”

Giving her adorable younger brother pocket money, Wei Ye felt that she must be acting like a very dignified elder sister-in-law.

His voice was gentle, like a spring breeze in March, and the meaning behind his words was incredibly pleasant. Xie Shuyun's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful! Thank you for being so kind to me, sister-in-law!"

Xie Shuyun was handsome and cheerful, making him easy to like. He smiled at Wei Ye and praised him again, very directly, "Sister-in-law is really amazing and beautiful."

Wei Ye was amused by him. As if echoing the last compliment, a blush spread across his fair cheeks, making him radiant and charming in the sunlight.

When it was time for dinner, Xie Junya arrived late, carrying an exquisite cage. "Does sister-in-law like keeping cats?"

The cage contained a Persian cat, pure white without a single blemish, clearly of extremely high value.

"You're giving it to me?" Wei Ye blinked. "I heard it's a foreign variety, imported from overseas, and very precious."

“I can’t afford to raise these things since they were given to me by others, so I might as well use them to amuse my sister-in-law.” Xie Junya sat down next to him, stretched out his long legs and leaned back in his chair, turning his head to look at him. “Consider it a return gift for those snacks.”

Xie Junya was referring to the day Wei Ye gave him the cyclamen snacks after the horse training session. Wei Ye smiled and shook his head, "Didn't you already give me the horse?"

"A BMW for a hero..." Xie Junya said slowly, a smile in his eyes. He held the words "a prized possession for a beautiful woman" on his tongue for a moment, then didn't utter them. "That's another matter."

The word "hero" made Feng Yan glance at him with a slight upward tilt of her head, a glance that made Master Xie feel like he could eat an extra bowl of rice.

The cage was placed at Wei Ye's feet. The cat was meowing pitifully. Wei Ye picked up a few pieces of meat, rinsed them with water, and fed them to the cat.

On the other side, Xie Shuyun glanced at it and casually said, "Cats and dogs are very sensitive to yin energy. Sometimes they can see things that ordinary people can't see. This cat's eyes are quite bright."
