The person who called him was Ye Xueying. She said that she and Li Siqin had just finished shopping in a shopping mall nearby, so they wanted to meet Ye Chengzhi and Ye Chengxuan for afternoon tea. She also said that her eldest brother had already agreed that if he was free, he would make time for everyone.
Let’s chat together.
"Xueying, second brother, I can't come. You have a good chat with eldest brother and Siqin."
Ye Xueying's puzzled voice came from the microphone: "Second brother, why is this?"
Ye Chengzhi explained warmly: "Because the second brother is preparing to go out now, he can't come."
Ye Xueying's voice seemed a little low: "Second brother, why are you going out? Where are you going and who are you going with?"
Ye Chengzhi looked at Xia Haitong and said, "Second brother is going out to meet guests."
At this moment, two familiar female figures came into Ye Chengzhi's eyes. Ye Xueying slowly put down the phone and said, "Second brother, what guests are you going to meet?"
Li Siqin and Ye Xueying were a sight to behold when they walked together. Xia Haitong said in her heart that a socialite is a socialite. She couldn't learn this kind of temperament no matter how hard she learned it.
It's just that their arrival made Xia Haitong feel uneasy, but her face was still relatively calm. Being able to do this was a big improvement for her.
But there was a look of surprise on Ye Chengzhi's face, which could even be said to be panic. Just when he was lost in thought, Ye Xueying and Li Siqin had already arrived in front of the two of them. Ye Xueying stared into Ye Chengzhi's eyes and asked again: "Second brother,
This must be Secretary Xia Haitong Xia?"
Xia Haitong was slightly startled, then immediately said: "Hello, Miss Ye, I am Mr. Ye's secretary."
Ye Chengzhi looked nervous: "Xueying Siqin, why are you here?"
Li Siqin smiled sweetly and said, "That silly girl Xueying said she wanted to pick you up and give Chengxuan a surprise, so we came over." After a slight pause, she looked sideways at Xia Haitong and said slowly.
, "Secretary Xia must be wondering why Xueying knows about you, right? Because I often praise you in front of Xueying, so she remembers you, and often tells me what she wants to see Secretary Xia like."
Xia Haitong felt relieved: "So that's the case, but Haitong's qualifications are still relatively young, and there are many immature things in his work, so he really can't bear the high praise."
Li Siqin shook his head and said softly: "Secretary Xia is so humble. Your abilities are obvious to all, especially your ability to deal with things so well that Siqin is even inferior to you."
Xia Haitong looked at Li Siqin with some confusion. When he was about to say something, Ye Chengzhi said before him: "Xueying, the second brother is leaving now. You should have fun."
As he spoke, Ye Chengzhi seemed to be taking Xia Haitong away, but was stopped by Ye Xueying's words.
"Second brother, are you and Secretary Xia really going to meet guests?"
Hearing this, Xia Haitong became even more panicked, and his face began to be unable to hide anything. Ye Chengzhi's peripheral vision fell on Xia Haitong, his expression still calm: "Of course it's true."
Ye Xueying said reluctantly: "Then Xueying will go with the second brother, and I will wait for you nearby."
Ye Chengzhi looked at her in confusion: "Xueying, what happened to you today? When did you become so unruly?"
Ye Xueying took a step back with a guilty conscience, lowered her head and said: "Xueying, Xueying didn't mean it, I, I just..."
"My sister just wants to chat with you, Chengzhi, just follow her wishes."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the source of the sound, and saw Ye Chengxuan walking towards everyone slowly, and said: "I think it is enough for Secretary Xia to talk to the guests about work in detail.
Just stay with us."
Xia Haitong finally came back to his senses, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Mr. Ye, I think Young Master Ye's proposal is a good one."
She sincerely thanked Ye Chengxuan for his timely appearance. If it hadn't been for him, she probably wouldn't have known how to get through this time. But just when she thought she could escape, Ye Chengzhi said: "No, everything comes first.
I still go to meet the guests with Secretary Xia."
Ye Chengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Chengzhi, brother understands that work is important, but family ties are also important, and proper rest is also important, don't you think?"
Ye Chengzhi nodded: "Family love and rest are important, but Xueying and I have just returned from Europe. I feel that I have rested enough and it is time to work."
Ye Chengxuan turned sideways: "But if some work is not that important, then there is no harm in letting it go. Besides, you know Secretary Xia's talent, she will definitely be able to negotiate this matter."
Ye Chengzhi frowned slightly: "Brother, I don't want to be a person who breaks his promise."
Ye Chengxuan smiled calmly: "Guests will understand the unexpected helplessness."
As soon as they finished speaking, both of them fell silent. One was smiling, the other was serious. The air pressure around them seemed a bit depressing. Xia Haitong looked at Ye Chengxuan and then at Ye Chengzhi. She could understand the painstaking efforts of both of them, but she didn't know what to do.
After trying to persuade the two of them, Ye Xueying walked up to Xia Haitong and said, "Brother, forget it. Since the second brother has business to do, Xueying won't force it. The three of us can go."
After saying that, she glanced at Xia Haitong and said calmly: "I'm very sorry for disturbing Secretary Xia Xueying."
Xia Haitong quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "Miss Ye, please don't say that!"
Xia Haitong originally felt uncomfortable because Ye Chengzhi lied to her, and with Ye Xueying's current desolate appearance, she felt even more uncomfortable. She looked at Ye Chengzhi and said sincerely: "Mr. Ye,
Please feel free to leave the matter to Haitong, Haitong promises that the guests will never be dissatisfied at all, please stay with Miss Ye!"
Ye Chengzhi was about to say something, when Li Siqin, who was silent on the side, suddenly said: "Actually, as Chengxuan said, the guests will understand the unexpected helplessness. Why don't Secretary Xia stay and chat with us?"
Xia Haitong was shocked: "How is this possible!"
Li Siqin smiled sweetly and said softly: "Why not? Secretary Xia is Chengzhi's secretary. Since an accident happened, it is reasonable for the accident to affect you and make you unable to go, isn't it?"
Ye Xueying nodded and agreed: "Sister Siqin is right. Why don't Secretary Xia just chat with us? I also want to know more about Secretary Xia."
Xia Haitong was confused: "Miss Ye wants to know me?"
Ye Xueying smiled: "Because Secretary Xia and my second brother seem to be very familiar with each other, and my second brother generally keeps away from women, so I am curious about Secretary Xia."
Ye Chengzhi frowned: "Xueying, you have to be careful when speaking. How can you be so mean?"
Ye Xueying lowered her head and whispered: "Second brother taught me a lesson."
Ye Chengxuan quickly glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Although accidents can explain everything, we must not forget to be polite. And if conditions permit, it is better for Secretary Xia to go to the client. As for Xueying, if you
If you are really interested in her, you can find a time to talk to her later. Do you want to keep the distinction between business and private?"
Li Siqin said softly: "Chengxuan, what you said is wrong. Chengzhi can dodge official matters by using accidents, why can't Secretary Xia?"
"Because Secretary Xia is an outsider." Ye Chengxuan's smile remained the same, and his tone was calm, as if he was stating the facts.
Li Siqin's peripheral vision fell on Xia Haitong. Although Xia Haitong's expression did not change, she knew how harmful such words were to a person who wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix.
But Li Siqin was not satisfied with this. She smiled and shook her head and said, "Chengxuan, how can you talk like this? Secretary Xia is Chengzhi's right-hand man, that is, Ye's right-hand man. He cannot be considered an outsider. Xia
Secretary, if you don’t mind, can you come with me?"
Before Ye Chengxuan could answer the question, Ye Chengzhi said: "Siqin is right. In that case, Secretary Xia should also have afternoon tea with us."
Xia Haitong shook his head: "But I..."
"You haven't had lunch yet, haven't you? Don't worry so much, just go to have lunch." Finally, he looked at Ye Chengxuan, "Brother, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I have already made up my mind.
, you won’t object, right?”
The curve of Ye Chengxuan's mouth deepened a little, and Danfeng's eyes showed an unclear look: "Since the younger brother has made up his mind, how can the elder brother repeatedly object to such an incomprehensible style?"
So the three of them came to the Lily of the Valley Cafe at Li Siqin's suggestion. When they entered the cafe, everyone's eyes were focused on them. Ye Chengzhi, Ye Chengxuan, and Li Siqin, these are all influential figures. They
She is much more dazzling than any star. Although they don't know Ye Xueying very well, judging from her clothes, she must be the same type of person as them, and they are all high-society figures.
It's just that they are conspicuous, but Xia Haitong walking with them is the most conspicuous one. Although Xia Haitong's formal clothes and LV handbag can show that she has a certain financial foundation, there is nothing classy about her.
The atmosphere of society, why would such an unfashionable person walk with them?
After taking a closer look, they discovered that Xia Haitong looked a bit like the female model published in the newspaper, so everyone looked at her with an even weirder look, and "discussions" about her spread.
However, most of the people here are well-educated, so what they say is not vulgar, and some of the words sound quite pleasant. In Xia Haitong's opinion, this is the realm of swearing without swearing.
Xia Haitong understood, but she was not angry. Li Siqin on the side told her not to pay attention to these gossips. She also said that she had seen her photos published in newspapers and praised her beautiful photos.
At this time, Ye Xueying also echoed a few words, saying that Xia Haitong did look like a different person after makeup, and she looked very good.
After hearing their words, the expressions of Ye Chengxuan and Ye Chengzhi changed more or less and became a little solemn.
They came to the MVP room. Sitting next to Xia Haitong were Ye Xueying and Li Siqin. Opposite her were Ye Chengzhi and Ye Chengxuan. For some reason, Xia Haitong always felt that this seating arrangement really made her feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, a person who looked like a store manager came in. Except for Xia Haitong, they all started to order from him. After everyone had ordered, Xia Haitong was the only one left.
In fact, while they were ordering food, Xia Haitong had been looking for things like the menu, but she couldn't find it after looking for a long time, so she asked weakly: "Where is the menu?"
