"This... No news yet. " Shen Jingshu hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Young Master Mo, don't you think that your panic is too much of a waste? Tell me the truth." Ye Yan Xi lowered her voice and asked.
"You saw through it, hur hur." Shen Jingshu laughed a few times, "How about this, I think you are very suitable to be a spokesperson. Our company recently released a new product, if you want me to say that you are here, I will definitely pay you a higher price for your appearance, how about that?"
However, Ye Yan Xi didn't take his words, "Don't change the topic. I want to know the whole truth, so tell me."
Shen Jingshui was speechless, "Why do you have to know about it?"
"Originally, I didn't have any doubts. If it was an ordinary competitor, all of you would have told me already. However, now that you're acting so secretive, there is no money left in this place." Ye Yan Xi calmly said, "To be able to keep you all from hiding it from me, I think this matter … Is it related to me? "
"What does it have to do with you? Goddess, you really want too much. "
After Shen Jingshui had hidden the truth and said that Xiao Yu had been wrongly accused, Ye Yan Xi had already made some guesses in her heart.
Afterwards, from his words, Ye Yan had also guessed most of it. He was the only one who had to admit it.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yanxi lowered her voice and voiced out her guess, "Was it done by the He family?"
On the other end of the phone, Shen Jingshui held his phone, his mouth opened in an exaggerated manner and didn't say anything for a long time.
Ye Yan Xi clenched her phone tightly and asked Shen Yin Shu, "You don't need to say anything else. I'll just ask if you're the one who answered. Is it the He Consortium that framed you, Xiao Yu?"
Ye Yan Xi's stubborn personality also gave Shen Jingshu a headache. Sighing, Shen Jingchen answered, "Yes, but this matter is not something that Yu wants to tell you."
"It's really the He family!" Ye Yan Xi's voice became excited. She had only guessed a bit, she hadn't thought that this would be the truth.
Initially, she still held onto a trace of hope in her heart, hoping that Shen Jingshu would deny it. But now …
Although she didn't recognize He Zhenhua, blood was thicker than water. No one could change the father-daughter relationship between them.
However, he was the one who framed Xiao Yu. She thought that even if he didn't recognize He Zhenhua, there wouldn't be any conflict between them. But now, things had turned out like this. One was his lover, and the other was his biological father.
"Yu didn't intend to let you know about this matter, nor did he want you to do anything for him. As long as you find out the truth, he'll quickly let you go. You just wait patiently."
"Thank you, Big Brother Shen."
"Of course, of course. Oh right, don't tell Yuyu about what I told you today." He didn't dare imagine how miserable he would be if Xiao Yu found out.
After saying that, Ye Yanxi hung up.
After thinking for a while, she found the name card that He Zhenhua had given her and dialed He Zhenhua's number. Presumably, this number belonged to the office.
After a few rings, he heard what sounded like a young woman answering the phone. It must be He Zhenhua's assistant.
It was useless if they didn't find He Zhenhua directly. After Ye Yanxi gave her name, the assistant told the CEO that she would pass on her message and hung up.
After waiting for a while, Ye Yanxi's heart became incomparably anxious. She wanted to quickly receive He Zhenhua's call, but she felt that it would be better to be a bit slower. It was an excruciating ordeal.
Suddenly, a bell rang. Ye Yan's heart skipped a beat as she stared at the unfamiliar number on her phone. This was He Zhenhua's number.
"Hello."
"Are you Xi? The secretary said you just called me. "
Ye Yan Xi's eyes turned deep, and in that moment, many opposing scenes flashed through her mind, "Yes, I'll call you this time. Will I disturb you?"
"Oh, it's fine. I just had a meeting, so it's fine."
"Director He, I have something to talk to you about."
Director He.
Listening to these two words, He Zhenhua's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He had already taken the initiative to call him, but he was still as tactless as ever.
"Then let's arrange a location first. See you in a bit."
"No need." Ye Yan Xi immediately refused, "You tell me the company's address, I'll go look for you."
"That's fine too."
After he finished speaking, He Zhenhua sent the address to Ye Yanxi.
Ye Yan had just hung up the phone when he rushed out the door and took a taxi to the He family's building.
When the taxi stopped in front of the He Consortium's entrance, Ye Yan got off the taxi. Between the taxi and the tall buildings, the setting sun shone through the gaps between the floors, causing people to feel very depressed.
After she stood still for a while, she calmed her breathing and ran towards the He family building.
He entered the lobby on the first floor and told the receptionist's name.
The moment the person heard her name, she immediately gave her a gentle smile and personally led her to the CEO's private elevator. She pressed the elevator and said, "Miss Ye, the CEO has been waiting for you in the office for a long time."
Ye Yan Xi absent-mindedly pulled out a smile and said, "Thank you."
After the elevator doors closed, she looked at the rising numbers, her heart filled with unspeakable anger. She clenched her fists and controlled her breathing to keep her emotions calm.
The moment the elevator stopped, Ye Yan Xi's heart was as calm as it ever was. Her expression also returned to normal.
Perhaps the front desk had already informed them before. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, a slim young woman was waiting for them at the door.
"Hello, Miss Ye. I'm the assistant to the CEO. I talked to you on the phone earlier." The assistant's voice was very sweet, and her smile was just right, giving off the feeling of a spring breeze.
"Hello." Ye Yan Xi lightly replied.
With regards to her attitude, the assistant maintained a smiling expression all the while and led her into the office. "Miss Ye, please follow me."
Arriving at the CEO's office, the assistant knocked lightly on the door. He Zhenhua's low voice came from inside, "What is it?"
"CEO, Miss Ye is here."
"Let her in."
Thus, the assistant opened the door and gestured for Ye Yan Xi to enter, "Miss Ye, please come in."
It was already close to evening, and He Zhenhua's office was as bright as day. He sat behind a large desk, holding a stack of documents in his hand. On the desk, there was only a computer and a photo frame.
The photo frame was placed in a convenient place and the two people in the photo were snuggled close together, looking like they were stuck together.
As soon as Ye Yan entered, He Zhenhua got up.
"You … "Um, sit down first." He Zhenhua seemed to be a little flustered, but regained his composure in an instant. He pointed to the sofa at the side.
Then He Zhenhua walked quickly to the door. "Assistant He, pour two cups …" As if he had thought of something, he turned around and looked at Ye Yan Xi, "What do you want to drink?"
"Water is good enough."
After instructing the assistant to pour two cups of plain water again, He Zhenhua returned and sat on the sofa next to Ye Yanxi. He had a smile on his face as he said, "Little Xi, actually, I've always wanted you to come to my company to take a look."
It was Ye Yan Xi who was thinking in her heart. Previously, when they had met, He Zhenhua had warned her to stay far away from the He family. He had even told her with his own words … She was just an orphan.
But now that He Zhenhua's attitude had changed, perhaps he didn't suddenly realize that he had done wrong. Instead, he was trying to salvage the situation.
Although He Zhenhua appeared to be a vicious person, and he wasn't a gentleman when it came to doing things, he was exceptionally sincere towards Jiang Chang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly turned gentle towards her, who he once disliked so much.
Ye Yan Xi wanted to directly say the reason for her visit, but just as she was about to speak, her assistant sent her water. Thus, Ye Yan Xi was forced to swallow her words back down.
After the secretary left and closed the door, Ye Yan Xi said, "I came today to ask Director He a question."
"Since you're already here, it just so happens that I have something to show you." He Zhenhua didn't answer her question. Instead, he got up and took out an album from behind the table.
It could be seen that this photo album had been there for a long time. The edges were a little worn and yellow, and it could be seen that the owner would open it often. Such an old photo collection, could it be an old photo of the past?
Ye Yan Xi looked at the photo. It was of a tender child, not even a year old.
Could this be a picture of her as a child?
Without waiting for Ye Yan Xi to calm down, He Zhenhua said, "The pictures in this photo album were all taken just before you went missing. At that time, our family was very happy and we often took you out to play."
It was indeed a picture of her when she was young.
His heart suddenly softened as he rubbed the little child in the photo.
But so what?
She only looked at the cover of the album, her eyes filled with bitterness and sweetness. After a long time, Ye Yanxue finally forced her gaze away.
"Director He, I came today to ask you something. A warehouse of the Xiao Group was investigated a few days ago for suspected arms smuggling. I wonder if Director He knows about this?"
