"Auntie Shen, how are things at that house where you work? Are they treating you well?" Yang Ce asked after a moment's thought.
"Quite well. That family is all good people. The husband and wife are both very busy, so they've left the whole household to me, pay me a decent sum every month, and never give me any trouble." Shen Yueping said sincerely. "Much better than the last household."
"And what about that child you mentioned?" Yang Yan Chuan asked.
"The child is quite sensible too, never looked down on me, always calls me Auntie Ping. Sometimes I even give the child a bit of advice, and she listens to me pretty well—we get along quite harmoniously." Shen Yueping paused, then asked, puzzled, "Yang Ce, why do you ask?"
Shen Yueping thought Yang Ce was trying to use the opportunity to persuade her again not to go out to work.
"Nothing, just asking casually." Yang Yan Zhou opened the handbag he carried and took something out, handing it to Shen Yueping. "Here, Auntie Shen, this is a ticket to Shu Ya's concert. It's not VIP seating, but it's still a ticket that's hard to come by. Give this to the child at that house."
"Ah?" Shen Yueping was taken aback, looking at Yang Ce with some confusion. "Aren't you and Yun'er going to the concert?"
"I have more tickets." Yang Ce pointed at his bag. "The organizer of the concert is a friend of mine—he set aside tickets for me. This one's a spare."
That morning, Hou Lin had sent Yang Ce quite a few concert tickets—both VIP and regular seating, and reserved tickets for every single show.
"Then Auntie thanks you on the child's behalf." Shen Yueping hurriedly took the concert ticket, glanced at the price printed on it, and immediately froze. "This ticket is so expensive—did it cost you money?"
"No need. I didn't spend any money on it either." Yang Ce waved his hand.
Through that business with Bi Hai and Ge Xinyao, Lin Yanhe had already gathered a rough idea of Yang Jue Huan's background, so she wasn't too surprised. But Shen Yueping felt rather uneasy—she'd heard the concert organizer was someone from the underworld, which was why no one dared to scalp the tickets. Yet Yang Ce actually knew the organizer, and by the looks of it, carried considerable weight with him—enough to have tickets set aside for him.
But then she thought of how easily Yang Ce had settled the matter of Lin Changqing in Donghai, and concluded it must be because Yang Jue Huan's background was out of the ordinary. So she let it go.

699. An Invitation to Join
After chatting with Shen Yueping for a while, Yang Ce brought up the idea of having Lin Yanhe come help at the company. Shen Yueping was, of course, fully in favor.
"Yun'er, when you go to Xiao Yang's company, you must learn with an open mind. Don't rely on being Xiao Yang's girlfriend and get spoiled and arrogant—you must keep a calm, ordinary heart." Shen Yueping spoke with unmistakable worry. "You have such a rare opportunity—you must cherish it."
"Mom, don't worry. I won't." Lin Yanhe's face flushed slightly. Her disposition made it impossible for her to become spoiled and arrogant.
"Mm, good that you know it." Shen Yueping nodded. "Though the company is Xiao Yang's, it's ultimately a partnership between two people—it's not for one household to decide alone."
"Auntie Shen, rest assured. Zhi Yun isn't that kind of person—I know that better than anyone. Otherwise I wouldn't have put her in this position," Yang Heng Ye explained.
Only after hearing Yang Cen Bin say this did Shen Yueping set her mind at ease. She still had great faith in Yang Jue Huan's word.
Now that everything that needed saying had been said, Shen Yueping stopped playing the third wheel. She rose and said, "I'll go wash the vegetables in the kitchen. You two enjoy yourselves."
After Shen Yueping left, Yang Ce pondered for a long while, feeling that he still ought to bring up the matter of Li Dadong openly.
