Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 835: Chapter 503: Cooperation/Attitude

”...Yazi, Dad and sister are busy, so Mom is entrusted to your care, and also, when you have free time, go keep Grandpa company...”

Noda Hikari secretly glanced at her father who was smiling while instructing her younger sister, her heart growing colder. She then took advantage of the situation to pick up her bowl, closed her eyes, and gulped down the remaining porridge in one go.

Just as Noda Song hung up the phone, he saw his daughter’s actions and scolded displeased: ”Have you forgotten your status? As the eldest daughter of the Yodan Family, how could you be so rude?”

Noda Hikari hung her head: ”Dad, I’m sorry.”

”Hikari, your words and actions represent the Yodan Family. You must constantly remind yourself not to be rude and never rely on your mother’s favor to lose manners and bring shame to the Yodan Family, understand?”

”I understand.” Noda Hikari responded again, but the hatred in her heart grew stronger.

Her mother, Keiko, passed away early. She was raised by her stepmother, Mizuki, who only pretended to teach her manners in front of her father. Whenever she made mistakes for not knowing the rules, her father would harshly scold her and punish her to kneel long. No matter how she explained, her father wouldn’t believe her.

Indeed, Mizuki appeared absolutely gentle and kind in front of others, and no one would associate her with the image of a wicked mother.

Of course, it’s also possible that her father knew everything but deliberately played dumb.

This was inferred from her father’s recent deceit. In the past, if anyone dared to speak ill of her father, she would definitely not let them off easily. But now, her heart was broken, and she realized how foolish she had been.

Noticing his daughter distracted, Noda Song’s voice darkened: ”Hikari, what are you thinking?”

Noda Hikari hurriedly explained: ”Dad, I’m contemplating how to act tonight to be safer.”

”Yes, you should think carefully,” Noda Song patted his daughter’s shoulder, ”Hikari, believe in Dad, those poisons won’t take lives. You just need to go to the hospital for a serum injection and there won’t be any problems. Also, if this plan has an accident, immediately activate the second plan.

Unless it’s absolutely necessary, Dad doesn’t want to use our secret line, so we can only ask our family Hikari to be wronged. Dad really feels for Hikari, but for the sake of the family, there’s really no choice, Hikari must understand Dad.”

Noda Hikari nodded her head vigorously: ”Dad, I know, for the family, Hikari can give up her life.”

”Silly child, how could Dad let Hikari lose her life?” Noda Song lovingly stroked his daughter’s hair, ”Hikari is Dad’s treasure, Dad couldn’t bear if anything happened to Hikari.”

”Dad loves Hikari the most, Hikari understands.” Noda Hikari felt a chill throughout her body. If she hadn’t learned the truth, she would really think her father felt this way. A biological daughter, she was his own flesh and blood, how could he act so convincingly?

In the adjoining small restaurant, Luo Ye quickly drank a small bowl of porridge, ate two eggs, and then sat in the chair squinting for a nap. Four days without proper sleep, no matter if she had a body of iron, she couldn’t withstand it anymore.

Although her complexion was still good, her face had thinned significantly, which made Ye Mo’s heart ache. After hesitating for a moment, he instructed: ”Luo Ye, today Noda father and daughter’s itinerary is to inspect the North Residence together, you don’t need to follow, go back and rest well.”

”No need.” Luo Ye quickly opened her eyes, forced them wide open to squeeze out a smile, ”Captain, I can do it, there’s definitely no problem.”

”Luo Ye, even if you want to achieve merit, you have to know your limits, or...” Cui Xuetao paused, ”or are you lying about not sleeping for four days?”

”If you must think so, then I have no way.” Luo Ye replied lightly.

Cui Xuetao looked at Ye Mo: ”Captain, I hope you can uphold justice.”

”What do you mean?” Ye Mo frowned and glanced at her, ”Helping you doubt Luo Ye is called upholding justice?”

Cui Xuetao’s face showed dissatisfaction: ”Captain, it’s not that I intentionally want to doubt her, look at her complexion, she doesn’t even have dark circles. Ask those present, who dares to say they haven’t slept for four days and still be so energetic?”

”I can!” ”I can!” Feng Qing and Zhan Hao almost shouted out simultaneously.

Cui Xuetao pouted: ”You’re bragging, right? The two of you have the best relationship with Luo Ye, what’s the agenda behind saying such things? Who doesn’t understand?”

Ye Mo’s brows knit tighter, he then stood up and tapped lightly on the table with his fingers: ”Effective immediately, Cui Xuetao’s position as team leader of the female team members is revoked, Luo Ye will assume the position.”

”Captain!” Cui Xuetao called out urgently, unbelievingly looked at Ye Mo, ”You mean to dismiss my position and let Luo Ye, this student girl, lead us?”

”Exactly!” Ye Mo nodded, ”As long as someone is more capable than you, why does it matter if she is a student girl? And, Luo Ye’s level is not lower than yours, in every aspect, she’s qualified to be your leader!”

”I...” Cui Xuetao’s remaining words were pulled back by Qian Ying abruptly, after hesitating, reluctantly closed her mouth.

Ye Mo scanned around: ”Anyone who objects can voice it now, including male team members.”

”I have no objection!”

”Neither do I!”

”Us too!”

Except for Cui Xuetao and Qian Ying, everyone else has expressed their opinions one by one.

Among the few, Zhan Hao and Feng Qing are very aware of Luo Ye’s abilities, and the other two male team members of Team A witnessed Luo Ye’s skills during training. Therefore, even if they don’t fully believe that Luo Ye surpasses Cui Xuetao in all aspects, they don’t think Luo Ye is much worse than Cui Xuetao.

Moreover, the other side is the future wife of their boss. What kind of person is the boss? Can ordinary people catch the boss’s eye? Thinking this way, how dare they question?

Ye Mo nodded slightly towards Cui Xuetao and Qian Ying: ”So, what do you two think?”

Qian Ying pinched Cui Xuetao, who was about to speak, and quickly said, ”We will follow the captain’s arrangement.”

...

On the way to the North Residence, Yoda Song quietly glanced at Luo Ye, who looked slightly drowsy, and felt more at ease.

This is indeed a good plan that serves two purposes, fulfilling the agreement with the Moselle family and accomplishing another task. At that moment, he even started to like Luo Ye a bit. If it weren’t for this kid, how could he have had so many opportunities?

After tonight, he might be able to head back. As for the investment, would the Yodan family send their meat outside? What a joke, only these fools would believe it!

”Mr. Yodan, this is the future high-tech industrial zone of Sha City, covering more than 3,000 acres. Please see if you are satisfied with the environment. If you find it suitable, we can build our factory here. As for the area, we can discuss it later...” Ye Aicheng enthusiastically introduced the North Residence development plan, while Yoda Song nodded continuously with a smile. The people following them were happy and occasionally added a few words in support...

Luo Ye shook his head secretly. People say that failure is the mother of success, but after so many setbacks, how could they still be like this? If you can believe without an agreement, then you’re not Japanese!

Noticing Luo Ye’s weary expression, Director Liu frowned tightly, quietly dragging Luo Ye aside and lowering his voice, ”You, perk up, being a security personnel, how can you be in such a state?”

Luo Ye helplessly shrugged: ”Director Liu, I really want to perk up, I really do want to, but I haven’t slept for four days...” Pausing here, she stared fixedly at Director Liu.

”You’re the only one who can do this job?” Director Liu looked at her incredulously, ”I’m just wondering, with your temper, why were you sent here as protection staff?”

Luo Ye nodded in agreement, ”That, I’m not very sure either.”

The hostility from the other side was somewhat inexplicable, and although she analyzed it carefully, she couldn’t find any reason for enmity. If it was just about the grudge while climbing the mountain that day, then Director Liu’s mind is really too narrow!

Director Liu frowned and pulled a small bottle from his bag, ”This here is menthol oil, apply some.”

”Thank you, Director Liu.” Luo Ye obediently accepted it, dabbing some on her forehead and temples.

Seeing that Luo Ye complied, Director Liu’s expression softened a little: ”Perk up and don’t embarrass our nation. You now represent not only yourself, understand?”

”Understood!” Luo Ye nodded again.

”Director Liu, do you not have the authority to scold my subordinates?”

Ye Mo came over at some point, looking at Director Liu with a sour face, clearly very displeased.

”It’s not that I want to interfere, but look at her state?” Director Liu pointed at Luo Ye and continued, ”When you complete your task and leave, the cooperation matters are left to us. If a bad impression is left on the other party, how much effort will it take for us to restore face then?”

Ye Mo snorted coldly: ”If Director Liu could have half her energy after four days and nights without sleep, I would kneel and apologize to you, okay?”

Sweeping his gaze over Luo Ye and Ye Mo’s faces, Director Liu pursed his lips and went ahead. She wouldn’t believe there was nothing fishy between these two, and if she did, she would be a fool!

”No need to mind these people in the future.” Ye Mo instructed Luo Ye.

”Yes!” Luo Ye glanced at the sullen Ye Mo and lowered her voice, ”Captain, what’s the point of getting anxious and angry over such a little thing?”

”I just despise this kind of overreaching authority!” Ye Mo snorted, ”Going around throwing her weight, who does she think she is?”

Luo Ye grinned without saying anything.

After about an hour of touring the North Residence, the group headed back, with Ye Aicheng eagerly looking at Yoda Song, ”Mr. Yodan, are you satisfied with this place?”

Yoda Song smiled and nodded, ”Not bad, quite satisfied.”

”Have you decided on which project we are going to collaborate on?” Ye Aicheng asked again.

”I need to consider comprehensively before deciding.” Yoda Song looked at Ye Aicheng apologetically, ”Apologies for the delay without a decision.”
