At the beginning, Gu Jia and Jiang Nansun were intercepted, and Qiao Yingzi pursued them

Qin Fan ordered his bodyguards.

Qin Er nodded: "I understand."

Li Wei told Lan Weiwei that he was on a business trip to Hawaii, but he was actually in the capital with his fiancée. This silly girl...

Oh, let me save you!

Qin Fan thought to himself.

.......

366: Very pure and very ambiguous! Da Meitao's imagination runs wild...

During this period, even though Xue Sumei knew that Qin Fan was pursuing Yang Tao, she was still very anxious, fearing that if things went wrong, the relationship would end again.

Xue Sumei was impatient, and with Qin Fan's reminder, she didn't dare to directly ask Yang Tao how far they were progressing. She could only sit there alone, anxious, losing her appetite and her sleep quality also deteriorated.

After holding it in for a few days, Xue Sumei couldn't hold it in any longer and called Duan Xifeng and his wife to her home.

The three of them sat there and decided that just waiting for news was not a good idea.

She had to get some information from Yang Tao, so during the weekend, Xue Sumei called Yang Tao back home.

When Yang Tao returned home, she was surprised to see the six dishes and one soup on the dining table. "Mom, what day is today? Why did you prepare so many dishes?"

Xue Sumei glared at her daughter in dissatisfaction. "You haven't been home for half a month. If I hadn't called you today, would you have thought of coming back to see me, your mother?"

Yang Tao still respects her mother very much, otherwise she would not have the patience to meet Xue Sumei one by one even though she knew that Xue Sumei repeatedly arranged blind dates for her, even though she was annoyed.

Seeing that Xue Sumei was unhappy, Yang Tao immediately sat next to her and hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.

"Mom, I'm busy with work. I'll definitely come back to see you when I have time."

"What's with all the work? I think it's all just an excuse! If you can finally resolve the most important thing in your life, I'll stop nagging you!"

Yang Tao nodded, "I understand you're anxious, but Director Xue, those encounter scenes you arranged for me didn't surprise me at all, only frightened me.

"You know, I'm so paranoid now. Whenever a man stands next to me, I instinctively think he's the one you introduced me to. I can't stand this any longer."

Xue Sumei glared at him, "I can't stand it if you keep going like this. Tell me how old you are, you're 31! If I continue to ignore you, I'd be irresponsible as your mother!"

"I said I wanted to arrange a proper blind date for you, but you refused to go and insisted on finding someone on your own. So, what have you found? Show me a reliable one, but there isn't one!"

Having said that, Xue Sumei winked at Duan Xifeng.

"By the way, your brother-in-law said he wants to introduce you to a reliable woman with good conditions. We need to find a way to get along now. It's better to miss her than to miss her!"

"Xifeng, tell Taozi about that person's situation."

Duan Xifeng, who was sitting opposite, understood what he meant and acted out his true self without saying a word.

Start blowing!

This time the target of the bragging was no longer Qin Fan, but his good friend Guo Ran. This was the result of a prior discussion among the three of them. They used the introduction of the target to stimulate Yang Tao and test her attitude.

"This guy was a middle school classmate of mine. We later got into the Normal University together, in the same grade but different departments. He's 35 years old, a civil servant working at the Civil Affairs Bureau. His hobby is photography, and he's very skilled. His parents are both middle school teachers, having taught their entire lives. You could say he comes from a family of scholars."

"Look, Taozi. He has a stable job, a house, and a car. The house isn't a mansion, and the car is just a means of transportation, but he has everything he needs. Of course, these aren't the main points. The main point is that he has a very good personality and a broad mind. He never argues with others over trivial matters..."

Xue Sumei and Su Qing both had the urge to cover their faces. Asking Duan Xifeng to introduce her really forced Yang Tao to admit that she was in a relationship. It wasn't that he really wanted Yang Tao to go on a blind date, but this guy's old habit came back again.

Duan Xifeng became more and more excited as he spoke, and rolled up his sleeves to continue blowing.

"Let me tell you, we've been classmates for so many years, and I've never seen him get angry with anyone. He has such a good temper. Being with you would definitely..."

Halfway through his words, he felt Su Qing quietly tugging at his clothes. Duan Xifeng was bewildered, "Why are you pulling me?"

Xue Sumei hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Just give me the basics. Taozi, your brother-in-law isn't introducing you to those strange men on lesbian websites. We know each other well. Even if his conditions are average, as long as he's good enough, he's fine."

"How about finding a chance to meet his classmates?"

Yang Tao's face was filled with helplessness. "Mom, I'm really conflicted and resistant to blind dates right now. I just can't get the hang of it when sitting with those people..."

"Find the feeling, find the feeling! I'm telling you, you lost because of these three words!"

"If I don't feel anything, then I don't feel anything. What can I do?"

Xue Sumei was furious. "I'm not saying anything harsh about you. It's just a blind date and a marriage. I'm not going to execute you. Why are you making so many fuss? You're not satisfied with this or that. You're not a child anymore. How long do you plan to keep hanging around?"

"I'm telling you, Taozi, do you know how worried your mother is? How many people from the neighborhood ask me when they see me, 'Why isn't your daughter married yet?' How do you expect me to answer? Just be a little anxious, okay? Just to save my face..."

Yang Tao frowned and kept explaining, "How can I not be anxious? The key is that I can't stand your way of pushing me forward and telling me all sorts of conditions. Those people look at me like a commodity. It's a very uncomfortable feeling!"

"You have a luxury car, so I must have measurements that match it. I have a pretty face, so you must have a villa that matches mine. This is what you call a suitable condition, but this is not the marriage I want!"

Snapped!

Xue Sumei slammed her chopsticks on the table and looked at her daughter seriously.

Even though she knew that the main purpose of this meal was to test the waters, she was really angry when things got to this point.

"Taozi, do you really want to piss me off to death?"

Su Qing hurriedly held Xue Sumei's shoulders, "Auntie! Auntie, don't get excited, let's talk it over..."

"How can I not be excited? I'm already 31 years old, and you're still talking about feelings? I asked you to get married, not to have a relationship. How can marriage be the same as having a relationship?"

Yang Tao was furious. "How is marriage different from dating? You don't need to introduce me to someone. I already have someone I like!"

"If there's someone you like, then... what?"

Xue Sumei suddenly reacted, and her cold expression quickly melted away. She smiled from the heart and held her daughter's hand.

"Taozi, tell mom quickly, do you really have a partner?"

Yang Tao nodded silently. "You can't say we're in a relationship, it's just that we both have feelings for each other and are trying to get along."

The three of them looked at each other and thought there was something going on!

Duan Xifeng hurriedly asked, "What's the man's name? Where is he from? What does he do for a living?"

Yang Tao was most afraid that they would ask this. Qin Fan's conditions were really too good. Being too good was not only not an advantage, but instead became a huge pressure. She didn't know how to tell her family.

Xue Sumei was anxious. "Look at you, kid. It's come to this. What else is there to hide? Tell me honestly, is that guy really that bad?"

"No, not only is he not bad, he's actually quite good. His name is Qin Fan, he's three years younger than me, and he owns several companies. He's quite wealthy."

Xue Sumei was extremely pleased. This boy was really good. He got her daughter in less than half a month!

I was right about him!

"Do you feel it this time?"

Hearing her mother teasing her with her own words, Yang Tao was embarrassed, but she nodded seriously, "I think we are quite suitable for each other, and our personalities are compatible. I plan to date him for a while."

"Okay, okay, you guys take your time talking, Mom's not in a hurry."

Xue Sumei smiled and held her daughter's hand affectionately.

"Taozi, don't take what Mom said to you just now to heart. If you had told me earlier that you had found a partner, I wouldn't have pushed you anymore."

Duan Xifeng smiled and took over the conversation, "Taozi, since you already have a partner, I won't mention my old classmate anymore. Find some time to bring Mr. Qin Fan back to show Auntie."

"Yes! Taozi, you have to take this matter seriously. Bring Xiao Qin home someday so I can meet him. I have only one request, and you must agree to it!"

Yang Tao really wanted to refuse, but seeing Xue Sumei's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to agree.

……

Yang Tao has been very troubled these days and often gets distracted during work hours.

She and Qin Fan had just developed some feelings for each other, and their relationship had not yet been fully clarified, but Xue Sumei was already anxious to meet her future son-in-law.

Yang Tao didn't know how to bring up this matter with Qin Fan.

However, she didn't know that Qin Fan was doing something for her at the moment.

.......

367: Yang Tao removed! "Qin Fan, use more force, faster~!"

Qin Fan gave Jiang Lai a severe scolding on the bed.

After taking a shower, Jiang Lai came to his office and asked his assistant to call Director Huang of Human Resources of Mengqi Hotel Group.

"Do you know the lobby manager of the hotel? She's the pretty one in the lobby downstairs." Jiang Lai asked.

Director Huang replied, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, her name is Yang Tao, and she has been working at the hotel for over five years."

Jiang Lai: "I remember that the hotel's employees are all contracted for three years, right?"

Director Huang nodded. "Yes, Yang Tao has already renewed her contract with the company, and it's only eight months away."

Jiang Lai: "Director Huang, please go talk to Yang Tao. The company doesn't plan to renew her contract after this one expires. Let her have some peace of mind so she can work and look for a job at the same time. This is the company's way of compensating this long-time employee."

"If Yang Tao plans to leave early, you can compensate her with a few months' salary. The specific amount is up to you."

……

That afternoon, Director Huang talked to Yang Tao.

"Xiao Yang, you've worked at the hotel for over five years. I've looked at your contract, and it's set to expire in eight months. Although it's a little early, I'd still like to hear your thoughts on renewing it."

At the beginning, Director Huang did not directly mention the issue of dismissal.

"Of course I hope to continue working at the hotel. I've been here for over five years and am very familiar with the business. I have a strong connection with the hotel and I'm confident I can do a better job."

Yang Tao thought that the company was going to renew her contract in advance, and she was very happy.

"I believe this. I asked you to talk this time mainly because I have some personal questions to ask you."

"Please tell me."

"Are you still single now?" Director Huang asked directly.

Yang Tao nodded awkwardly. After she turned 30, she was most afraid of people asking her this question. She felt very uncomfortable every time.

"You have such good conditions, why do you drag yourself to such an old age?"

"Well... the one I was talking to before wasn't very reliable. It delayed me for a few years."

Director Huang changed the subject, "I saw you on a blind date in the hotel cafe."

Yang Tao hurriedly apologized, "That wasn't my idea. My mother introduced me to this. I'm actually quite fed up with this kind of thing, but I couldn't refuse her kindness."

"I understand."

Director Huang followed up on this topic, saying, "You said you're not young anymore. If you go on a blind date and get married, you must have children right away, right? If that's the case, you'll probably have to deal with your personal problems for the next one, two, or even three years."

Yang Tao's heart sank. From what the other party said, it seemed that he had no intention of discussing contract renewal with her. Was she thinking too brightly about the prospects?

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to solve my personal problems, and it will definitely not affect my work."

"I believe you. You've always worked very hard and are one of the best employees in the hotel. However, personal issues are taking up a lot of your time and energy. They can't be changed by just working hard."

Yang Tao wanted to fight for it again. "You know, finding a suitable marriage partner is not an easy task. I have plenty of time and energy now, and I can devote 100% to my work."

"You're right, but can you promise not to get married or have children during the next contract?"

Yang Tao was stunned, Qin Fan's figure flashed through her mind. She really couldn't guarantee this.

"See, even you can't be sure. This is a risk for the hotel. As a senior executive of the group company, if I can't avoid this risk, it would be my dereliction of duty."

Yang Tao finally understood that this was not a contract renewal talk, but an obvious intention to terminate the current contract.

"The company isn't completely heartless. The reason I'm talking to you so early is to give you more time to find a job. Once you find the right one, you can leave at any time. Of course, if you decide to end your contract now, we'll also compensate you with three months' salary."

Yang Tao didn't know what expression she had on her face when she left the restaurant. She thought it must have looked very ugly, so she locked herself in the bathroom and stared at the mirror in silence.

She would never have thought that the one who fired her was not someone else, but the big devil she was in love with.

There is no other way. If Da Meitao doesn't have some setbacks in her career and doesn't become financially impoverished for a while, how can she highlight the importance of her boyfriend, and how can she willingly lie side by side with Lan Weiwei and show their deep sisterly love?

Yang Tao didn't dare tell Qin Fan that she had lost her job. She still went to get off work as usual every day, returned home at night, and submitted her resume online.

However, the truth will come out sooner or later.

Qin Fan was rejected several times when he tried to pick Yang Tao up from get off work, so he took the initiative to find her and asked her in person if there was any problem at work.

It was not until this moment that Yang Tao finally couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart, and threw herself into Qin Fan's arms and cried loudly.

"Qin Fan, Director Huang told me a few days ago that the company doesn't plan to renew my contract. In another six months, I'll be completely unemployed."

"Hey, I didn't think it was a big deal. Is it worth crying so hard? It's just a job. You can just come to work in my company."
