"Yeah." Jian Yi was in a much better mood now than before.
After sending her uncle away, Jian Yi closed the door and went to wash up.
The next day, in the morning, while Jian Yi was still sleeping, she heard a knock on the door.
Jian Yi wondered who was knocking on the door so early in the morning. Feeling angry, she got up from the bed and prepared to go to the door to see.
"Who is it?" Jian Yi asked before opening the door as soon as he reached the door.
"It's me." He Lichen's voice came from outside the door.
Jian Yi suddenly woke up a lot. Her mind was stunned. After she realized what she was doing, she immediately opened the door.
When she saw her brother-in-law wearing a suit and holding a bag in his hand, which seemed to be something hot, Jian Yi was already excited, so she was not angry at all.
"Uncle." Jian Yi called out cutely and stood motionless.
"Did it wake you up from sleep?" He Lichen asked.
Isn't that right? Jian Yi thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it in her mouth. After shaking her head, she replied to her uncle, "No, I also... just got up."
He Lichen did not answer, but just said, "Go in first."
"Um."
Entering the room, He Lichen looked at the time and said to the girl, "You haven't washed up yet? Why don't you go sleep for a while? I'll call you in twenty minutes."
I originally set off early from home, thinking that I would lose some time on the road, but I didn't expect that there was no traffic jam on the road at all, so I came early.
Jian Yi shook her head and said, "No, I won't sleep."
My uncle is here, how can I still sleep?
Besides, if you have time to sleep, you might as well spend more time with your uncle.
He Lichen did not force her and replied, "Go and wash up first. I bought some breakfast and will eat it later."
"Oh," Jian Yi responded and asked again, "Uncle, you haven't had breakfast either, right?"
"No, I bought two portions and we ate them together." He Lichen said that he left early in the morning and his parents hadn't gotten up yet, so he didn't eat at home.
"Well, okay." Jian Yi replied happily.
After washing up, Jian Yi and her uncle had breakfast together, feeling very happy.
He Lichen sent the little girl to work and received a call from his mother on the way.
"Lichen, you didn't have breakfast at home this morning. Remember to buy breakfast when you go to the company." Cheng Nuo said to his son with concern.
"Well, I understand, Mom, you don't have to worry about me." He Lichen said.
"How can you not worry? Your dad and I are having breakfast, so of course I have to remind you." Cheng Nuo replied.
"Well," He Lichen also expressed his understanding of his mother's nagging. Suddenly he remembered something and said to his mother, "Mom, I won't be at home for dinner tonight. There is a dinner party, so I will go home later."
After saying this, Jian Yi was stunned. She looked at her uncle and started to guess in her mind, who would the uncle have dinner with tonight? A boy or a girl?
"Well, okay, I got it, then your dad and I won't wait for you to have dinner." Cheng Nuo didn't ask anything. After all, today is Friday, and it's normal for his son to have dinner in the evening.
"Um."
Without further chatting, He Lichen hung up the phone.
As soon as he hung up the phone, He Lichen heard the little girl's voice.
"Uncle, are you having dinner tonight..." Jian Yi was a little embarrassed to ask, but she still asked, "Who are you having dinner with?"
"Wan Kun and Xu Wen." He Lichen replied.
"Is it just the three of you?" Jian Yi asked again.
"No, there is another... friend." He Lichen said, thinking about You Jia, it seems that other than the title of friend, no other title is suitable for her.
"Girl?" Jian Yi looked at her uncle, waiting for his answer.
"Well, we are... friends at work." He Lichen said.
"She and you... have a working cooperation?" Jian Yi asked again.
But He Lichen realized that the little girl had a lot of questions, so he turned his head and glanced at the little girl.
But He Lichen still answered, "Well, there will be... work cooperation in the future."
Jian Yi was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it completely. After saying "Oh", she lowered her head and stopped talking.
He Lichen didn't quite understand the little girl's emotions at this moment. Because he didn't see her expression, he didn't notice anything was wrong with her. He just reminded her with concern, "You drive home this afternoon, be careful and stay safe."
"Um."
After He Lichen sent the girl to the company, he drove back to Heyi.
In the afternoon, He Lichen was still busy at work, and Li Xuwen came to He Yi to see He Lichen.
"I came over because I had nothing to do in the afternoon. Let's go have dinner together in the evening." Li Xuwen explained while sitting in He Lichen's office.
He Lichen had no objection. He just happened to be here, so he could discuss with him what he wanted to talk to You Jia about in the evening.
After getting off work at five o'clock in the afternoon, He Lichen and Li Xuwen set off from Heyi on time. On the way, He Lichen called Wan Kun.
Wan Kun was also on the way and asked He Lichen on the phone, "Lichen, do you plan to discuss cooperation with You Jia today?"
"No plan." He Lichen replied.
"Huh?" Wan Kun was a little confused.
"When we meet for the first time, there are a lot of things to talk about," He Lichen continued, "We can use the two hours of dinner to talk to her about more things."
Wan Kun seemed to understand. He reacted for a while before he finally understood, "You mean, at today's dinner, we will talk about some public topics and cooperation matters... we will talk about it later?"
"Well, Xu Wen and I have already discussed it," He Lichen said, "Youjia...may be smarter than we thought, so we also need to be cautious about this kind of person."
"Understood, then today, let's just have a meal and chat in a harmonious atmosphere. Let's not talk about cooperation for now." Wan Kun understood.
"Well, let's play it by ear."
"Okay," Wan Kun responded, adding, "I really want to see what kind of woman You Jia is."
"You'll see her soon, don't look forward to it." He Lichen was not interested in the woman You Jia at all. The only thing he was slightly interested in was the investment from Fengya Bank behind her.
"Well, that's it for now. See you later."
"See you later."
…
When He Lichen and Li Xu heard about the restaurant, Wan Kun hadn't arrived yet, and neither had You Jia. They sat down in the private room and waited for them.
"We're early, there are still ten minutes before the agreed time." Li Xuwen said.
"Ten minutes is not too early. They are probably coming soon," He Lichen said.
Three minutes later, Wan Kun came. Seeing that He Lichen and Li Xuwen were both there, Wan Kun said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm late."
"It's not too late, we both came early." Li Xuwen replied to Wan Kun.
He Lichen said to Wan Kun, "Sit down."
Wan Kun nodded, sat down, and then asked, "Isn't You Jia here yet?"
"No, there are still a few minutes until the time we agreed on, let's wait a little longer," He Lichen said.
