Xu Yanshu felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. Just then, Jiang Zhengyu invited him for coffee, so he also invited Qin Shengyi along.
"Shengyi, did Xie Huanyu contact you privately? Why haven't you mentioned it?"
"No, I only made one phone call," Qin Shengyi said, feeling a moment of awkwardness at Xu Yanshu's question. After hesitating for a moment, she replied, "I can handle it myself, so I didn't mention it to you!"
Xu Yanshu didn't know where she got the news from. After all, Xie Huanyu hadn't gained any advantage from her, so she didn't take the phone call to heart and didn't think about telling the other party.
Xu Yanshu was skeptical, and carefully continued to ask, "Was your unusual behavior before related to this matter?"
He knew Xie Huanyu's temperament all too well, and she had almost physically attacked Shengyi before; who knew how many nasty things she might have said behind his back.
Qin Shengyi felt a moment of guilt, and she waved her hand awkwardly, "You misunderstood. I just encountered some personal matters a few days ago."
sorry!
She silently apologized to herself, her eyes dimming without her noticing.
She understood all the reasons, but she still didn't have the courage to bring up the events of the past, so she couldn't explain the reasons to Xu Yanshu for the time being.
Is that so?
Xu Yanshu nodded in relief, but his eyes still held undisguised worry as he looked at Qin Shengyi.
Although Shengyi usually appeared poised and generous, he inexplicably sensed that she had also experienced some unspeakable pain, which was why the smiles on her face always seemed somewhat unreal.
“No matter what happens to you, you can not only tell Zhengyu, you can also come to me,” Xu Yanshu said solemnly after thinking for a moment, “Since we are friends, we should support each other!”
Touched by these words, Qin Shengyi looked up at Xu Yanshu and for a moment seemed to see that aloof and arrogant young man in white again.
He had said something similar back then, which gave her a glimmer of hope in her otherwise dark and endless school life.
A feeling of being touched unexpectedly arose in her heart. She had thought that she would never see him again in this lifetime, but she never expected that they would become friends again after many years.
Seeing that the other person seemed distracted, Xu Yanshu frowned in confusion, "Shengyi, you..."
"Yes, I understand what you mean," Qin Shengyi finally came to her senses, nodded knowingly, and said, a smile gradually appearing on her fair face, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."
Xu Yanshu was slightly lost in thought when he saw that smile. He suddenly felt that it was very familiar, as if he had seen it before, but he couldn't think of a specific time.
Thinking he was just momentarily distracted, Xu Yanshu didn't intend to think too much about it and instead asked Zhengshi, "How's the fundraising going? Have you decided which company to invest in?"
"Yes, I've already had a meeting with the team, and we've confirmed our cooperation with Tianhong."
Once this news gets out, that old fox Xie Junyang will probably be so angry he'll vomit blood again.
A sly glint flashed in Xu Yanshu's eyes, and he subtly curled his lips into a smile. It was just too good to pass up such a golden opportunity, which was wasted by his precious daughter.
"Seriously? You guys have been talking about work all this time?" Jiang Zhengyu walked into the coffee shop, casually patted Xu Yanshu on the shoulder, and then sat down at the only empty seat.
Qin Shengyi raised his hand to look at his watch and complained with dissatisfaction.
"Jiang Zhengyu, you're half an hour late again! How many times has this happened? Can't you be a little more reliable?!"
"Can't you give your brother a little face? Why do you have to undermine him like this?" Jiang Zhengyu glared at the person who spoke, pretending to be fierce, while shrugging nonchalantly. "Besides, you two seem to be having a pretty good chat!"
The fact that this little girl can still complain about herself here shows that she has adjusted her mindset towards Xu Yanshu, and the worry deep in her heart has finally been put down.
In his view, whether or not to be honest is not important. Sheng Yi has finally gotten rid of that incident, and as his older brother, he certainly doesn't want Sheng Yi to be trapped by it again.
Thinking about it, Jiang Zhengyu couldn't help but glance at Xu Yanshu again. Speaking of which, the two of them are quite destined to meet again in the vast sea of people after so long.
Qin Shengyi curled her lips in disgust, and was about to say something when her phone, which she had placed on the table, rang first.
"Hello, this is Qin Shengyi from AC. May I ask who you are?!"
"Ms. Qin, hello. I am Xie Junyang, chairman of Xie Group. Our company has already contacted you before. When would you like to meet with me?"
Xie Junyang?
After a brief moment of surprise, Xu Yanshu and Jiang Zhengyu exchanged a glance without making a sound. It seemed that the old fox had finally lost his composure.
Qin Shengyi refused without hesitation, "There's no need for a face-to-face meeting. I've already made it very clear to Miss Xie that if she doesn't even have the most basic respect for me, I will absolutely not consider cooperating!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then the person tentatively asked, "Miss Qin, is there some misunderstanding here?"
"There's no misunderstanding, and I've already decided to cooperate with Tianhong Company, so you don't need to contact me anymore!"
After saying that, Qin Shengyi hung up the phone without hesitation, his eyes and brows filled with a coldness.
She wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish between public and private matters, but Xie Huanyu kept taking advantage of her kindness, so she figured she didn't need to maintain any moral standards anymore.
I never expected Sheng Yi to be so decisive and efficient.
Xu Yanshu raised his eyebrows subtly, a hint of a smile appearing in his deep eyes.
As a result, Xie Huanyu's life may be going to be difficult again.
Cough cough—
Seeing that the other party was slow to understand, Jiang Zhengyu coughed twice as a reminder.
Actually, he didn't quite agree with Sheng Yi's extreme words. After all, Xie Junyang was always ruthless and unscrupulous, and there was no guarantee that the other person wouldn't become enraged and do something detrimental to Sheng Yi.
Qin Shengyi then came to her senses, looked up and unexpectedly met Xu Yanshu's deep eyes, and a slight blush unexpectedly appeared on her cheek.
Jiang Zhengyu noticed this detail without making it obvious, and his eyes darkened slightly.
"So, would you like to have dinner together later?"
Xu Yanshu waved his hand, "Next time, I have to go back and take care of some things."
