Chapter 805: Chapter 805: Consider It an Advance on Your Salary
In the room, Lian He and Lian Tong talked for an hour. Tang Yue knew what they were discussing and sighed as she sat there. Even the delicacies on the table seemed to lack some flavor to her.
Since Lian He was there, Tang Yue simply called Lian Qingyang to invite him over for dinner too.
Lian Qingyang hung up the phone and arrived in half an hour.
"Weren’t you at the factory?" Tang Yue looked at Lian Qingyang, bewildered.
If she remembered correctly, the factory was more than half an hour away, right?
"Yes, but I had someone drive fast, so I got here in half an hour. How’s that, impressive, right?" Lian Qingyang said with a proud look.
Tang Yue tapped his head with her knuckles and said, "Lian Qingyang, I’m telling you, no speeding. Safety first, don’t you know? If you were ten minutes late, we wouldn’t have started without you. What was so urgent?"
"Sister Xiao Yue, I just wanted to see you," Lian Qingyang rubbed his forehead, feeling aggrieved.
"I think you’re more eager for my dad’s cooking." Tang Yue glanced at him and said, "Next time you drive that fast, you won’t get to eat my dad’s food."
"Okay, okay, Sister Xiao Yue is always right," Lian Qingyang replied, his eyes darting around but not seeing Lian He and Lian Tong. He asked, "Didn’t you say my dad and aunt were coming? Where are they?"
"Xiao Yang, when you drive, no speeding, okay? Or don’t drive at all," Lian He warned in a low voice. Seeing the scene just now made him really happy.
"Dad, I just wanted to see you in a hurry," Lian Qingyang said with a smile, trying to take credit, "Dad, the computer factory Sister Xiao Yue and I invested in is officially in production. Once our computers are produced, they’ll definitely sell well. In the future, it’ll surely be a profitable factory."
Thinking about their investment in the computer factory being able to operate, Lian Qingyang was full of anticipation. He wanted to earn money with his own capabilities, not relying on the Lian Family.
"Good," Lian He praised, "The men of the Lian Family can make money wherever they go."
"Dad, I will do my best in the future," Lian Qingyang felt greatly encouraged by Lian He’s praise.
Lunch was very sumptuous. The past issues between Lian He and Zhang Hualian were over. Zhang Hualian felt a bit uncomfortable, but Tang Zhengde’s thoughtfulness made all her discomfort disappear.
Seeing this, Lian He felt a bit sour inside but knew that the past couldn’t be relived. With that in mind, he wouldn’t act emotionally now. His only hope is for his daughter to acknowledge him and call him ’Dad.’
In the afternoon, Lian He went with Lian Qingyang to see the factory.
"Xiao Yue, is this how clothes are made?" Lian Tong, having nothing to do, accompanied Tang Yue to make clothes and inadvertently messed things up a bit.
"Yes, clothes are just pieces of fabric sewn together, aren’t they?"
Tang Yue answered without looking up. Making clothes was almost second nature to her. With just her eyes, she could gauge any deviation in size and adjust promptly.
Tang Yue’s delicate hands seemed to dance as she made clothes.
Lian Tong was amazed and said, "Xiao Yue, teach me. I don’t ask to make very beautiful clothes, just to make something for myself to wear."
"Aunt, you like making clothes?" Tang Yue was a bit surprised.
"I do," Lian Tong nodded.
Tang Yue thought for a moment and decided to teach Lian Tong how to make pants, as making pants is much simpler than making clothes.
"Aunt, how about making a pair of straight-leg pants?" Tang Yue quickly measured and cut the fabric, drew the lines, and let Lian Tong stitch along the lines with the sewing machine.
At first, it was going well, but Tang Yue completely forgot that while Lian Tong was good at fighting, using a sewing machine...
Tang Yue couldn’t help but hesitate as it was clear that Lian Tong had almost no talent for this.
"Xiao Yue, no worries. Let me try practicing first," Lian Tong, however, was very enthusiastic and decided to learn to use the sewing machine.
Tang Yue didn’t say more and gave her some scrap fabric to practice sewing lines on the machine.
The aunt and niece spent the whole afternoon in the studio.
Lian Tong practiced all afternoon but still couldn’t sew a straight line. The next morning, she dragged Tang Yue to the studio again.
Tang Yue was somewhat surprised by her aunt’s interest in this, but it was a good thing. If her aunt had something she liked, it would naturally divert her attention.
Having lost a child was painful, she understood, but one’s life shouldn’t halt because of it. She didn’t want her aunt to wallow in despair over losing the child.
"Aunt, not bad, you’re making progress. Keep practicing, and soon enough, you’ll finish those pants," Tang Yue encouraged.
There was a knock at the door. When Tang Yue opened it, she saw Sun Qing with eyes red like a little rabbit’s.
"Sun Qing, what’s happened?" Tang Yue pulled her inside and checked her over. Seeing her clothes intact and that she wasn’t hurt, she felt somewhat relieved, but clearly, something was wrong.
"Xiao Yue, can I take some leave to go back to Yun City?" Sun Qing choked up as she explained, "My sister is hospitalized, and the hospital has issued several critical condition notices. I..."
Sun Qing barely began speaking when tears started pouring from her eyes.
"You can take leave," Tang Yue nodded and said, "Xiaoqing, wait a minute. I’ll have someone book a flight ticket for you, and I’ll give you US$ 5,000."
"Xiao Yue," Sun Qing was shocked and looked at Tang Yue in disbelief.
Tang Yue smiled slightly and handed her some tissues, saying, "You can get there faster by plane. As for the money, consider it an advance on your salary, and we’ll deduct it from your wages each month. You won’t say I’m a stingy boss, will you?"
Tang Yue joked.
"No, no," Sun Qing shook her head quickly.
"The flight costs will be covered by the company," Tang Yue said with a smile. She had Wu Xin get the money and sent Sun Qing to the airport before returning.
Sitting on the plane, Sun Qing felt full of gratitude towards Tang Yue.
When she arrived in Yun City and paid for the medical bills, Sun Qing realized that Tang Yue had given her not US$ 5,000 but US$ 10,000. The additional US$ 5,000 was from Tang Yue personally, along with a note: "Xiaoqing, if needed, bring your sister and family to Jing City for a comprehensive checkup. If you’re uneasy about taking this money, repay me when you can."
A full US$ 10,000 was enough even to cover surgery costs.
Sun Qing gripped the money, tears of gratitude flowing uncontrollably. Fortunately, Tang Yue had given that extra US$ 5,000; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to afford the medical bills. Considering Sun Rou’s situation, Sun Qing decided to take her sister to Jing City for treatment.
