City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1390 - 1389: Mess to Clean Up

Xiao Mei still lives in her high-end apartment complex. Ye Qiu drove towards that apartment complex. As soon as he parked outside the security booth, the security guard recognized him—certainly, it was Ye Qiu.

When Ye Qiu got out of the car, locked the car door, took the elevator upstairs, and arrived outside her apartment door to make a call, Xiao Mei soon came out barefoot to open the door.

Ye Qiu went inside, and Xiao Mei showed a pleased expression, saying, "I was about to go back home. I thought you weren’t coming over?"

Ye Qiu changed his shoes and said, "I’m also going to France after the second day of the Lunar New Year."

Sitting with Xiao Mei on the sofa, as he wrapped his arm around her waist, Xiao Mei didn’t push him away and asked, "What are you going to France for?"

"To check on how my perfume company is doing."

Xiao Mei already knew that the Louise brand fashion company belonged to Ye Qiu, but she wasn’t aware of the perfume company.

"How is Qingcheng Group doing now?"

"It should be close to bankruptcy and liquidation. Currently, none of Qingcheng Group’s lingerie is selling; even with discounts, they can’t be sold. And the banks are unwilling to lend any more money, so it can only go bankrupt."

Back then, daring to compete with Ye Qiu was a dead end.

People like Wei Guomin who want shortcuts are simply impossible, so even without Ye Qiu’s intervention, he wouldn’t have gotten far.

He was just always trying to imitate Ye Qiu’s lingerie designs, which Ye Qiu found disgusting.

"It’s about what I expected. What about that sissy?"

"I heard Wei Guomin suspects him, and Liu Xueying is somewhat afraid."

"I’ll give him a call to check in."

By now, Liu Xueying needn’t stay at Qingcheng Group any longer.

Ye Qiu picked up his phone to call Liu Xueying, and soon, as Liu Xueying connected, he said, "Young Master Ye, that boss Wei suspects me."

"He wouldn’t be thinking of killing you, would he?"

"Probably not."

Liu Xueying thought that recently, Wei Guomin seemed really like a madman, with so much lingerie piled up and unable to sell, while the bank refused to give loans and instead demanded Qingcheng Group repay ahead of schedule.

Now, Qingcheng Group had no working capital, and some previous debts had not been recovered.

In this situation, Qingcheng Group was a complete mess.

"What I promised you back then, I will definitely fulfill. You can leave Qingcheng Group now, and whenever you want to study design in France, I’ll finance you and help you secure a spot at a renowned school."

"Really? That’s great, I’ve been wanting to go for a long time."

After all, Liu Xueying knew he wasn’t suited for doing those things; he preferred to earnestly learn design, so he had long wanted to leave Qingcheng Group.

"I’m heading to France in a few days, and when I do, I’ll secure you a place at a top design school, and I’ll cover your tuition fees for the years to come. The living expenses and salary subsidies will be covered by Xingyue Group."

"Thank you, Young Master Ye."

After hanging up the call with the sissy, Xiao Mei said, "Now that Qingcheng Group is about to go bankrupt, everyone in the company, including senior executives and junior staff, wants to jump ship to Xingyue Group. If it weren’t for these matters, I might have already gone back home to celebrate the New Year a few days ago."

It’s normal for the junior staff to want to move elsewhere given the impending bankruptcy of Qingcheng Group.

However, Ye Qiu thought, for a company to be on the verge of closing and only then have its employees consider leaving means those employees aren’t very capable.

"Does Xingyue Group have enough talent? If so, we don’t need those seasoned individuals; it’s better to recruit fresh graduates."

"I know, so I’ve been carefully selecting."

Ye Qiu thought about Amy, naturally wanting her to develop in the French modeling scene. He was unsure of what Amy thought, though; if she wanted to develop in France, it would be best for her to go this time, or Ye Qiu could first go to get a sense of things.

However, he didn’t have Amy’s contact information.

"Are those female models on vacation?"

"They’ve been on vacation for a while."

"Do you have Amy’s contact information?"

Xiao Mei thought Ye Qiu had Amy’s contact but realized he didn’t.

"I do have it, at the company, but I don’t have her personal phone number."

"Are you going back to the company tomorrow? If so, could you help me call her to ask whether she wants to develop in the French modeling scene?"

"I’ll need to ask first."

Since this was a personal meeting, Xiao Mei did not wish to discuss work matters with Ye Qiu.

As the two sat together watching TV, Ye Qiu could smell a particularly pleasant fragrance emanating from Xiao Mei.

"Are you wearing perfume?"

"No."

This was naturally the lingering scent from Xiao Mei’s usual bath products, which had become a lasting fragrance over time. Her hair also smelled very pleasant.

Holding her close, Ye Qiu asked, "At your age, if you go back for New Year, won’t your parents urge you to go on blind dates?"

"They certainly will, but I’ll tell them I’m already seeing someone."

Seeing Ye Qiu’s expression, Xiao Mei knew she was referring to him.

However, Ye Qiu was several years younger than her. If her parents knew, she wasn’t sure whether they would be pleased. Still, Xiao Mei knew her parents were sensible people and wouldn’t interfere in such matters.

Sitting there, the two of them chatted while watching TV. By past five in the afternoon, Xiao Mei went back to her room to change her outfit and said, "Stay the night! We haven’t chatted like this in a while."

The last time, Xiao Mei was willing to give herself to Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu couldn’t touch her at the time, something she understood.

Nonetheless, it was still nice to talk and build the relationship.

"There might be something tomorrow morning; there’s nothing going on tonight."

In the morning, Ye Qiu had to drive Liu Xia to the train station, so he had to get up early.

While Xiao Mei went out to buy groceries, Ye Qiu called Ye Xue, telling her he wouldn’t be coming back tonight, leaving Ye Xue wondering where Ye Qiu had gone.

Meanwhile, Ling Fei was at Peach Blossom Spring Villa, initially wanting to hang out with Ye Qiu, but unexpectedly, Ye Qiu was nowhere to be found, and now Liu Lingxiu had also returned to her parents’ place.

After hanging up the call, Ye Qiu sat back down to continue watching TV.

When Xiao Mei returned with lots of delicious meat dishes and began cooking dinner, Ye Qiu went to help. Known for his culinary skills, Ye Qiu focused on making the dishes even more visually appealing.

"I heard the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant is your family’s?"

Currently, the fame of Ye Qiu’s Imperial Cuisine Restaurant was quite high; many people in Jinling had heard of it, including tourists. However, because it’s too expensive, not many people could afford to eat there.

"Yeah, I personally designed the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant’s layout and decor, and as for the imperial dishes the chefs prepare, they were all taught by me."
