Chapter 168: Asking for an Explanation
Jiang Wanning really didn't expect that Xie Yanchuan would have such a side to him when dealing with outsiders.
Because Jiang Wanning had worked with Pei Yufeng before, the front desk receptionist was not too surprised when she appeared in Pei's company today.
In addition, after she revealed her identity as the CEO of Chuangtu, she didn't have to spend too much effort to get here.
She was indeed a little thirsty at the moment. Seeing Xie Yanchuan's actions, she forced herself to suppress the smile at the corner of her lips and took the cup of water from the man.
"Longjing before the rain, medium to high quality, tastes a bit bitter."
It was as if Pei Yufeng didn't exist at all. Xie Yanchuan commented after taking a sip of tea.
"Ningning, if you're not used to this, I'll go outside and get you some juice later."
After saying that, he seemed to actually stand up and prepare to walk outside.
Pei Yufeng, who had been "calm and composed" all this time, finally spoke: "Thank you, Master."
The man stared at Xie Yanchuan with gloomy eyes, like a venomous snake. At the same time, his tone was also gnashing his teeth when he spoke again: "You are really as casual as before."
“Don’t treat yourself as an outsider.”
"Boss Jiang and I are old acquaintances. If you really want some juice, I can just give the order. Why would Young Master Xie make another trip?"
Hearing the sound, Xie Yanchuan, who had already walked to the door, stopped.
When he turned around again, his expression was still as calm as before.
But one look and the difference between the two becomes immediately apparent.
"Oh?" Jiang Wanning, who was watching the show, raised an eyebrow. "Then Mr. Pei, please order one for me. Thank you."
The two of them are simply the same in terms of being rude.
“…”
Pei Yufeng, who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to make further comments, was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he came to his senses, suppressed the smile on his lips, and raised his hand to call his assistant.
Not long after, a young girl came in holding two glasses of juice.
One of the cups was handed to Jiang Wanning first, and the other was placed on Pei Yufeng's table.
There is no Xie Yanchuan.
Pei Yufeng raised his eyebrows playfully at Xie Yanchuan again: "I remember that Mr. Xie didn't like to drink such sweet things before..."
However, this time, before he could finish his provocative words, Jiang Wanning quickly interrupted him: "Boss Pei, his taste has changed now."
"But it doesn't matter." Jiang Wanning smiled and pushed the juice she had just taken a sip of towards Xie Yanchuan: "Let's just have a drink."
After that, she seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell President Pei."
"Xie Yanchuan is my fiancé right now. He was supposed to accompany me here today. I didn't expect you two to be old acquaintances. It really surprised me a little."
Jiang Wanning spoke in a light tone, as if she and Pei Yufeng were really good friends.
Of course, apart from the fact that Pei Yufeng once "shamelessly" said he wanted to marry Jiang Wanning.
But Jiang Wanning knew this and still responded in this way, obviously wanting to protect Xie Yanchuan and embarrass Pei Yufeng.
None of the people present were fools, and Pei Yufeng could no longer smile.
The corners of his lips, which had been a little crazy at first, finally smoothed out at this moment, and the look he gave the two of them was as cold as a poisonous snake.
"Boss Jiang specifically asked me to come here today. Is there something important?"
Such a cold and indifferent expression was a bit like what Jiang Wanning saw when she first met Pei Yufeng.
Seeing that he finally got back to the point and wasn't going to use those irritating tricks anymore, Jiang Wanning didn't hesitate either. She imitated what he had done just now and leaned back leisurely.
"I do have something important to talk to you about."
"It's about our company's previous head, Ai Heng."
As soon as these words were spoken, the already tense atmosphere in the office suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Pei Yufeng's eyes were obviously gloomy, and he met Xie Yanchuan's eyes who was blocking the door. The cold aura around them seemed to solidify at this moment.
At this moment, he seemed to finally realize that the two people came with bad intentions, but he didn't show it on his face: "Really?"
Pei Yufeng raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong with Mr. Ai?"
Hearing Pei Yufeng's answer, Xie Yanchuan, who had been leaning against the door in silence, suddenly sneered, "He's missing. Such a big thing, and President Pei and Chuangtu have been working together for years, how could they not know about it?"
An intuitive and pointed question.
This completely blocked Pei Yufeng's way of changing the subject or distancing himself from the matter.
This also caused the latter's originally relaxed face to freeze for a moment.
However, Pei Yufeng quickly reacted and said, "Haha, of course I know."
"When I heard you guys talking about it just now, I thought there was some new clue."
There was no trace of flaw in the cold expression on Pei Yufeng's face.
It must be said that this person's psychological quality is indeed much stronger than Jiang Wanning imagined.
If Xie Yanchuan had asked the question in the same abrupt way as just now, an ordinary person would have been caught off guard and fell into a trap.
The person in front of me can still remain calm and composed, and he is indeed not to be underestimated.
Taking in all of this, Jiang Wanning narrowed her eyes dangerously. "If that's the case, then it's easy."
She suddenly stood up, and under Pei Yufeng's instant gaze, she walked up to him.
At the same time, he took out his mobile phone, played a video and put it in front of Pei Yufeng.
The video played, and it was the same video that Xie Yanchuan had received earlier, which was the scene of Ai Heng's contact with Assistant Pei Yufeng on the eve of his disappearance.
"President Pei, could you please explain to me what's going on?"
At this moment, one of them was standing, the other sitting. Jiang Wanning looked down at them, her domineering aura clearly revealed at this moment: "Why is it that our former head of Chuangtu, when he disappeared, the person he met was your assistant?"
