Siheyuan: I have a mental illness

Ye Fan finally dealt with the group of enthusiastic and talkative workers around him, then he walked briskly and went straight to Liang Ladi.

He had a friendly and warm smile on his face and asked softly, "How is it, Sister Liang? Do you feel that working here is harder than when you were in the machine repair shop before?"

When Liang Ladi heard this, she waved her hands and responded eagerly: "It's not hard, not at all! Chief Ye, to be honest, this place is much better than the machine repair factory we stayed in before! What's more, I heard that we can eat meat at noon today!" When she said this, a hint of excitement and anticipation appeared on her face.

Ye Fan smiled and nodded, then continued, "Yes, there is meat for lunch today. I just came over from the cafeteria and saw Chef Nan Yi busy making potatoes and fat. The fragrance can be smelled from a long distance away!"

After hearing Ye Fan's detailed description, Liang Ladi's eyes lit up instantly, like two twinkling stars.

She was so happy that she thought to herself: This is great, my little kids can finally taste the delicious meat! Thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and the laughter was so clear and pleasant that it seemed to dispel all worries and fatigue.

But soon, Liang Ladi put away her smile, and secretly made up her mind to preserve this rare meat dish and bring it home to her children after get off work in the evening. After all, for their not-so-rich family, being able to eat a meal of meat was a very luxurious and ecstatic thing.

At this moment, Ye Fan, who had been watching Liang Ladi, seemed to see through her inner thoughts.

So, he smiled again and said, "Sister Liang, I know you have many children at home and life is not easy. So, I just went to Master Nan Yi to say hello and asked him to reserve a meal for you every day so that you can take it away directly when you get off work in the evening.

But...you must keep this matter a secret and don't let anyone else know about it!"

Liang Ladi was stunned after hearing Ye Fan's extremely considerate words. After a long while, she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, and her eyes suddenly became moist. Then, she suddenly stretched out her hands and tightly held Ye Fan's hand. Her lips trembled slightly with excitement, and she couldn't even say a complete sentence of thanks.

Ye Fan unknowingly pulled back the hand that Liang Ladi was holding tightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealed a gentle smile and said: "Okay, Sister Liang, don't forget to look for Nan Yi more often." His eyes fell on Liang Ladi's pretty face with some encouragement and expectation.

After explaining everything to Liang Ladi, Ye Fan turned and left. As he walked, he thought to himself, "I don't believe it. After this arrangement, Liang Ladi and Nan Yi can't be together?"

After all, both of them came from a machine repair factory and had similar backgrounds and experiences. In addition, Nan Yi was a very compassionate and sensitive person. As long as they stayed together for a long time, it would only be a matter of time before they fell in love.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel happy. However, when he passed by the infirmary, he suddenly saw Ding Qiunan inside, smiling as brightly as a flower blooming in spring.

This scene really surprised Ye Fan. You know, in the original plot, Ding Qiunan always had a cold and dead face, as if everyone in the world owed her money.

But what about now? Ding Qiunan would actually smile and take the initiative to greet anyone he saw! Just when Ye Fan was full of suspicion, Ding Qiunan spotted him standing at the door.

She was like a happy little deer, running towards him. When she was within a few feet of Ye Fan, Ding Qiunan stopped, looked up and said to Ye Fan with a smile on her face: "Hello, Chief Ye! Thank you very much for giving me the precious opportunity to work in the steel mill. Please rest assured that I will do my best and never let you down, and work hard to do a good job!"

Ye Fan stared at Ding Qiunan with wide eyes, his mouth couldn't help but open, and he was secretly surprised: What on earth is going on? Where is the arrogant and domineering Ding Qiunan? How could her arrogant attitude and her arrogant and spoiled appearance disappear without a trace?

Ding Qiunan noticed Ye Fan's strange expression and couldn't help but feel concerned. She asked softly, "Chief Ye, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Do you need my help?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan quickly waved his hands and said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's really okay. I just want to ask you, are you used to working in our steel mill? Have you arranged a place to live?"

After hearing Ye Fan's question, Ding Qiunan smiled brightly like a spring flower, nodded gently, and replied: "Well, the working environment here at the steel rolling mill is quite good, and the comrades in the factory are also very caring towards me. As for the residence, it was allocated yesterday. I was assigned a courtyard with two rooms."

After listening to this, Ye Fan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's good. As long as everything goes well, I will be relieved. Okay, then you work well and I won't disturb you." With that, Ye Fan turned around and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Ding Qiunan suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Fan's arm. Ye Fan was caught off guard and froze in place. Then he turned his head and looked at Ding Qiunan with a puzzled look.

The moment Ding Qiunan looked into Ye Fan's eyes, she seemed to be burned by his deep and blazing gaze, and suddenly realized that her actions just now were a little too intimate and rash. Her cheeks instantly flushed as bright as the sunset, and her hands quickly loosened from Ye Fan as if she had been electrocuted. She was so shy that she almost dared not look up at him, and she stammered, "Section Chief Ye... I'm so sorry, I was too impulsive just now, and I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you."

Ye Fan looked at the shy and lovely Ding Qiunan in front of him and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He naturally understood why Ding Qiunan was so out of control at this moment. It was nothing more than being attracted by his damn male charm that seemed to be everywhere and could not be restrained. Thinking back to the beginning, Xu Huizhen was also like this and fell in love with him unconsciously. Now it seems that Ding Qiunan is not immune to this!

However, at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Ye Fan's mind - could it be that Liang Ladi also had the same thoughts about him? This thought made Ye Fan's heart sink suddenly, and he quickly shook his head vigorously, trying to drive this possibility out of his mind.

After all, Liang Ladi is a bold and outspoken woman. If she really likes me, she would never be as secretive and hesitant as Ding Qiunan.

After calming down, Ye Fan put on a gentle smile again and said softly to Ding Qiunan: "Don't be so polite, Comrade Ding Qiunan. In fact, this is what I should do as a leader. As long as you can devote yourself to work wholeheartedly in the future, it will be the best reward for me.

Okay, you go ahead and do your work. We still have a lot of things to deal with in the purchasing department, so I won’t stay here for too long.”

After saying that, Ye Fan nodded slightly to Ding Qiunan, then turned around and strode away, leaving Ding Qiunan standing there, staring at his receding back, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
