Chapter 14 Does Your Brother Know?
Xie Yixing carried the gift, bent down to adjust Jiang Yunyao's slightly messy skirt, and then urged, "Let's go in quickly!"
Assistant Li's eyes flashed with surprise.
This young master had been spoiled since childhood and was fearless. This was the first time he saw the young master kneeling down to help others dress without even the slightest reluctance.
Jiang Yunyao nodded to Assistant Li, and then she and Xie Yixing followed Lu Mucheng and his wife into the manor.
She handed the invitation to the messenger at the door, and while waiting for him to verify her identity, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure in the east.
Jiang Yunyao looked over and saw the girl surrounded by four or five men in black, disappearing around the corner.
"Jiang Yunyao, what's wrong with you?" Xie Yixing saw that she was stunned, so he came up to her and waved his hand, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Yunyao was startled by the outstretched hand and unconsciously took two steps back. She took a deep breath and said, "It's okay."
The back figure looked so much like Xiao Jin that she even wondered if she was seeing things!
"Are you nervous?" Xie Yixing looked at her curiously, "You were also so distracted before you came to my house that time!"
Jiang Yunyao's resentment was aroused, and she raised her voice slightly, "Nervous? I, Jiang Yunyao, have attended at least twenty banquets, if not fifty. How could I be nervous?"
Who in their line of work doesn’t attend drinking parties and banquets?
Not to mention being nervous, now when she sees the word "banquet", she can immediately simulate every posture and expression she wants to make!
At this time, the program team's live broadcast had just started, and Jiang Yunyao's words were recorded.
[Meow, meow, meow? Is that Jiang Yunyao's voice? Did the production crew come to the party?]
[The production team is amazing! They even managed to sneak into a private party like this. They must have a strong network!]
Jiang Liangliang is now in a good position. If it weren't for Xie Yixing, the wealthy young master, how would she have gotten an invitation to the banquet?
[Clinging to someone powerful also depends on one's ability. Someone like Jiang Liangliang can only be considered a prostitute, right?]
[You haters, enough! How come a proper relationship between a married couple becomes so unbearable when you talk about it?]
While Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing were talking, the waiter had already confirmed their identities. At this moment, he respectfully made a "please" gesture to them.
"Ms. Jiang, Mr. Xie, please come in."
The words "Ms. Jiang" silenced the haters in the live broadcast room.
Everyone subconsciously thought that if Jiang Yunyao was invited to the banquet because of Xie Yixing's relationship, then the waiter should call her "Mrs. Xie" instead of "Miss Jiang".
Jiang Yunyao also noticed the address, and she couldn't help but sigh at Mr. Xie's attentiveness.
Apart from the special instructions, she couldn't think of any other reason. She was clearly attending the banquet as the young lady of the Xie family, but this was not stated on the invitation.
Led by the waiter, Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing passed through the banquet hall and walked towards Mr. Hu's reception room.
The program team has negotiated with the manager here and promised not to take pictures of the guests' faces, let alone the organizer Mr. Hu.
Therefore, after the photographers watched the guests enter the reception room, they consciously stopped outside the room and pointed their cameras at the ground.
Mr. Hu was a short man with a bald head. His small eyes revealed a shrewd light. He had a beer belly and was shaking hands with Lu Mucheng and Lin Wanwan with a smile.
"It's been a few years since we last met. Wanwan has grown so much!" Mr. Hu smiled and talked to Lin Wanwan like an elder. "How are Professor Lin and Professor An? They've been busy lately, and I haven't seen them for a long time..."
Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing sat down and waited for a while until Mr. Hu and Lu Mucheng and his wife finished their greetings before they could talk to him.
When Mr. Hu saw that the person who came was not Mr. Xie, his smile froze and his attitude became perfunctory.
However, due to Xie Yixing's identity, what he said was still polite.
"It's Young Master Xie and Young Madam Xie! This is your first time at my manor, so please have fun. If you need anything, just call the waiter. Don't be shy!"
Subtext: If you have any problems, find the waiter, don't find him.
Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing presented their gifts, then left the reception room and headed towards the hall.
There were quite a few people in the hall, gathered in twos and threes, drinking and chatting happily.
Jiang Yunyao didn't need to listen specifically to know that men talked about business and women talked about jewelry.
Xie Yixing was not interested in these social events. He pulled Jiang Yunyao to a corner and stayed there.
Jiang Yunyao sat on the sofa and took the small cake handed to her by Xie Yixing. Seeing him take another small cake, sit next to her and eat happily, she couldn't help but ask him curiously.
"Don't you feel unwilling?"
Mr. Hu's different treatment is largely because the control of the Xie family business is not in the hands of Xie Yixing.
Given Xie Yixing's status, if he was a little petty or had a bad relationship with his brother, he would easily feel unwilling and resentful.
Xie Yixing immediately understood what she meant and swallowed the cake in his mouth.
"I don't think so. Even if my brother came, Mr. Hu would only smile at him out of cooperation, not because he has a good relationship with my brother!"
Jiang Yunyao looked at him in surprise.
Unexpectedly, this guy is quite insightful!
Xie Yixing took the fork, poked the cake on the plate, and continued,
"I've always felt that being the CEO of Xie Corporation isn't great. Just look at my brother. He has to go to the company before dawn and doesn't get home until eight or nine at night. He rarely gets any vacation time, and he still has to deal with the calculations of business dealings!"
"Life like this will continue for decades until he can no longer work and can step down from this position. But by then, he won't have much time to enjoy himself, and he won't be able to enjoy anything!"
"I don't understand why they have to fight for that position. They can do whatever they want while they're still young, so why do they have to box themselves into work? What's the point?"
Jiang Yunyao: "...Does your brother know about your idea?"
Xie Yixing said casually, "I know! He also told me not to tell anyone else because it would easily offend people!"
Worker Jiang Yunyao: "..."
Well, it is indeed easy to offend people, like her, who really wants to beat him up now!
[Wow, wow, Xiao Xie, please stop talking like that! Even cows and horses can't stand hearing this!]
It's not easy for Mr. Xie either! Not only does he have to work from 9 to 5, but he also has to endure the harsh attacks from his own brother!
What happened to the saying, "In this world, besides cattle and horses, there are chickens and ducks"? Why is he so carefree?!
[Ahhh, Xiao Xie said not to tell anyone else, but he told A Yao! ]
[Ah Jie: Who cares if it’s a cow or a horse? Let’s just stick with this couple first!]
Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing were not familiar with the people at the banquet, and with nothing to do, they started studying the food at the banquet.
"Hmm! This cookie is blueberry flavored and has a filling inside. Try it!"
Jiang Yunyao picked up the biscuit in front of her and put it on Xie Yixing's plate.
"This wine tastes pretty good. I'll pour you a glass!"
Xie Yixing took Jiang Yunyao's cup and filled it up for her.
The two of them ate and drank, and tried almost all the food at the banquet.
Not long after, Jiang Yunyao looked at the cream that had accidentally stained her hands and said she wanted to go to the bathroom.
When she arrived at the bathroom door, before she turned in, she heard someone talking inside.
