Getting the boss's trust was a form of encouragement to the employees.
Hearing Lu Xueqi's words, Ye Chen's heart warmed, she looked at the ashen face Zhang Hai and Liu Qi, and then silently drove away.
Soon, they found a small restaurant.
The shop wasn't big, it belonged to the civilian restaurant type, but it was very clean. A waiter and cashier, and a boss and chef greeted Lu Xueqi and the others enthusiastically.
Lu Xueqi and Li Qiuyue were seated at the same table, and Zhang Hai was seated at the same table as the other two. Originally, Ye Chen should have been sitting at the same table as the other two, but after thinking about their attitude towards him, he found a table and sat down.
When Zhang Hai and Liu Qi saw Ye Chen tactfully finding a table to sit at, although they snorted in disdain, they felt extremely regretful in their hearts. This was a good opportunity to make him lose face.
The boss and the waiter didn't have any reaction to this.
They were very observant, and could tell that Lu Xueqi had the highest status out of all of them, while the woman was obviously a secretary or something close to her. The two muscular men were bodyguards, and as for the man sitting alone at the table … "Hmm …" At first glance, it looked very ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it felt that it was impossible to see through.
Ye Chen didn't have much thoughts towards this either.
Sitting alone, she was also so happy that she seemed to be at ease with it, so as to avoid a feeling of restraint when sitting together with Lu Xueqi.
After handing over the menu, he ordered another dish of rice.
Soon, the dishes were served.
After sitting down, Lu Xueqi held onto her notebook and was currently working on her documents. Currently, her Heavenly Beauty Group was filled with difficulties, so the amount of work she was doing was also much greater than usual.
Fortunately, Li Qiuyue understood her taste well and ordered a few simple dishes.
Only after he subconsciously glanced at it did he notice that Ye Chen was sitting alone at the same table. Thinking about how this guy had helped her so many times, his heart had a bit of a bad taste.
Ye Chen was startled, he turned and looked at her, and their gazes met. After a moment, he nodded: "Alright." Then, he carried the only dish and sat opposite to Lu Xueqi.
Without greeting him, Ye Chen lowered his head and continued to eat in silence.
Seeing that he did not even raise his head, a trace of unhappiness flashed past Lu Xueqi's heart, and he could not help but say: "Don't just eat the dish that you ordered, if you don't know, you might think that I'm a harsh subordinate."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately regretted it.
Letting Ye Chen eat at the same table was actually nothing, but she had only called out to Ye Chen and not, which made it seem even more sudden. Adding to what he had just said, both Li Qiuyue and Zhang Hai revealed strange expressions.
Lu Xueqi hurriedly lowered her head and ate without saying a word, concealing the awkwardness on her face.
Especially Li Qiuyue, she was extremely shocked.
A year ago, she had already become Lu Xueqi's secretary and was responsible for handling all matters related to work and life. Thus, she was very clear about some of Lu Xueqi's taboos.
But now, under her contact these past few days, it seemed like these taboos did not include Ye Chen.
"Whap."
At this moment, their chopsticks suddenly clashed.
Lu Xueqi and Ye Chen subconsciously raised their heads, their eyes met. Ye Chen coughed and quietly moved his chopsticks to the side.
"What is the relationship between these two people?"
Li Qiuyue sized up the two who were seated opposite to him, her eyes filled with gossip.
No matter how they looked at it, the two didn't seem to be a couple, but it didn't seem like a simple relationship of going up and down. They might be friends, but it didn't seem like they were at the same level.
Even if Li Qiuyue guessed correctly, she would still not be able to guess, although the two of them did not have the names of husband and wife, they did have the name of husband and wife.
But when Zhang Hai and Liu Qi saw Ye Chen sitting and eating together with Lu Xueqi, they did not think too much into it, they simply felt displeased.
Logically speaking, they were Lu Xueqi's bodyguards, and although their relationship should be closer than Lu Xueqi, it was obvious that Lu Xueqi had distanced himself from them, and was even more so protecting Ye Chen.
That was why they provoked Ye Chen with all kinds of things when they saw him. After that, the reason why they were displeased with him was no longer just to complete their 'special mission'.
"Why is this kid able to eat at the same table as Boss Lu?"
Zhang Hai threw the chopsticks on the table, looked at Ye Chen unhappily, and said with a low voice.
Liu Qi's expression was also gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Alright, it's Chief Lu who called him over, it's not good for us to make trouble, wait for a chance in the future, try to get rid of this brat."
"I'm getting more and more annoyed with him. Let's make our move earlier."
Zhang Hai clenched his teeth and said.
"Me too. This kid is unaffected by oil and salt. He does things calmly and watertight. It's hard to find a flaw in him." Liu Qi paused for a while, before continuing, "After these past few days of contact, he is somewhat inconsistent with the description in the information."
"Hmph, after all, information is just information, it's still different from reality. In the end, this kid is only sitting in his current position because of Boss Lu's protection. Without Boss Lu, he's not even a fart." Zhang Hai said in disdain.
Liu Qi nodded and did not say anymore.
Just as she finished eating, Li Qiuyue's phone rang. After she hung up, she said with a face full of surprise: "CEO Lu, the President Wan of Wan Cheng Real Estate Group has agreed to meet us at their meeting room."
Lu Xueqi creased her eyebrows in astonishment, and said: "Earlier, when you called, didn't the other party reject your call?"
"Yeah, but maybe the other person changed their mind." Li Qiuyue did not think too much into it. She had eaten too much these past few days, and suddenly met someone who rejected her offer and took the initiative to call her.
"That's true. It would be good if we went over and gave it a try."
After Lu Xueqi finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Review the contract carefully once more, there cannot be the slightest mistake."
"Yes."
Li Qiuyue retracted her smile and nodded seriously.
In the chairman's office of Wan Cheng Real Estate Group.
"Chairman, he has arrived and is waiting in Conference Room 1." After saying that, the secretary turned around and left the office.
Inside the office, there was a slightly plump middle-aged man with a flat head and a square face. He looked very simple and honest.
The man sitting opposite him obviously didn't understand any of this as he disdainfully curled his lips and said: "President Wan, why are you messing around with this tea leaves? It tastes the same, why are you so complicated?"
"Zhang Erxiao, your temper is too impetuous. You should rest for a while." Wan Changjiang said without lifting his head: "Have a cup of tea, don't worry."
Zhang Ziliang looked at the time and said impatiently: "We will drink this tea again in the future, we will go to Conference Room 1 first, I am already impatient to see the expression on Lu Xueqi's face after the destruction of hope."
"Zhang Erxiao, is this really good?"
"Hmph, Lu Xueqi is a woman that I like. As long as I can get her into bed, it's fine no matter what. As for the loss of the President Wan, I will make up for it." Zhang Ziliang paused for a moment, and then added: "From what I know, President Wan from the provincial capital is extremely interested, and coincidentally, that piece of land is in my father's hands, so … "Heh heh."
Wan Changjiang sighed, he then put down the tea that he had steeped halfway, his heart was in a mess, even if he had to force himself to brew it, he would still lose the taste that he should have.
He got up. "Then let's go."
