Hearing Li Ye's words, Yan Jinbu froze for a moment, then shook his head hard. "No. What have I got to feel wronged about? Han Xia had a point. She really is better than me at reading situations."

Li Ye looked at Yan Jinbu, who had admitted his own shortcomings, yet he knew the other man was nursing grievances in his heart while shouldering responsibility as well.
Actually, when Li Kaijian had invited Han Xia and Yan Jinbu back to the Qingshui County Fertilizer Factory at the beginning of the year, Yan Jinbu had immediately agreed to return to Qingshui with Han Xia. But after sounding out his family, he had helplessly changed his mind.
Yan Jinbu's grandfather had personally gone to the Li family's home to apologize to Li Kaijian, lowering himself to an extremely humble posture. If Li Kaijian had not stopped him, the old man would have knelt and kowtowed.
Yan Jinbu's grandfather said that his grandson was doing very well at Qilu Chemical. If he did not have to transfer jobs, then it was better not to. As for the debt of gratitude owed to the Li family, he would repay it even if he had to toil like an ox and a horse.
Li Ye could guess what Yan Jinbu's family was thinking. After all, Qilu Chemical was a central state-owned enterprise, several levels above the Qingshui County Fertilizer Factory. Their Yan Jinbu was a university graduate assigned from the capital; his future prospects could not be mentioned in the same breath.
But Han Xia was a straightforward girl. She believed that both she and Yan Jinbu had benefited from Li Ye in being able to get into university. Since Li Kaijian wanted them to come help out, there should be no second word
