Chapter 54 "Did you bully my sister?"...
Yu Xin looked at the person, but his recollection failed him; he couldn't recall anything about him and could only nod slightly.
The man, however, did not intend to leave. He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over with both hands: "My surname is Li, and I work for Fenghua Bank. I had the honor of meeting you at the head office's year-end customer appreciation dinner last year, along with the leaders."
Yu Xin then stood up, politely accepted the business card, and said, "Hello."
Manager Li was still somewhat surprised, unable to believe that he could run into one of the bank's biggest clients here. He wanted to seize this rare opportunity to say a few more words, but he didn't want to disturb the private gathering any longer, so he returned to his seat.
Qian Hu and Xu Lu watched in stunned silence. Qian Hu had gone to great lengths to get to know Manager Li; the influential figures he knew said he was a client manager specializing in asset allocation and investment services for high-net-worth clients. After meeting him, Manager Li, having likely seen many wealthy people, was rather indifferent to them. They didn't mind, as they were new to this field and didn't know much about it.
But now that Manager Li had changed his attitude and was speaking to Yu Xin with humility and respect, they were immediately taken aback.
Qian Hu was sitting a bit further away from Shen Mengqing's table. After Manager Li returned and sat down, he lowered his voice and asked, "Manager Li, who is that?"
Manager Li said, "Have you heard of Yusheng Pharmaceuticals?"
"Of course!"
Qian Hu invests in stocks, and he is familiar with all the major companies in Beicheng.
Manager Li winked and put on airs, saying, "That's Mr. Yu, the chairman of Yusheng Pharmaceuticals."
"Chairman??!!" Qian Hu almost couldn't keep his voice down. Xu Lu, still retaining her senses, kicked him to make him tone it down.
Xu Lu wasn't quite sure about the company's size, and feeling a bit apprehensive, she turned to Qian Hu and asked, "Honey, what kind of company is it? Is it impressive?"
"Damn it." Qian Hu cursed under his breath, "The number one pharmaceutical company in China, what do you say?"
Xu Lu opened her mouth wide, stunned for a long time, unable to say a word.
She recalled the first time she met Yu Xin. She and Qian Hu had mocked Shen Mengqing, and he had punished them by splashing water on them. She had thought her words had touched a nerve. From then on, she always thought that Shen Mengqing's boyfriend was a gigolo who lived off women. After the class reunion, she often talked about the funny things that happened back then, saying that Shen Mengqing's boyfriend had ridiculously rented a car to save face when picking her up from the reunion.
Only now does she realize how much of a clown she has become.
She awkwardly tugged at Qian Hu's sleeve and said, "Honey, how about we call it a day? We can talk more when we get back."
"Why go back?" Qian Hu dodged her hand. "Shen Mengqing is our old classmate. Of course we have to get to know her boyfriend. We can't miss out on such a great network of connections."
Xu Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him.
Qian Hu forced a smile, his face full of fat but unaware of it. He bent over slightly and extended his hand to Yu Xin: "Hello, President Yu, I am Meng Qing's high school classmate."
Hearing him call her by her name, Shen Mengqing got goosebumps all over. Qian Hu seemed to be trying to get in touch with her and meet Yu Xin, but he didn't even glance at her.
Yu Xin still remembered what Lin Xiangyang had said to Shen Mengqing last time, and he understood that these people had assumed he was Shen Mengqing's boyfriend.
Seeing Shen Mengqing's indifferent expression, he also remained calm and said, "Yes, I've met you."
"Yes! Mr. Yu has a good memory, you still remember that we met in Chu City. My name is Qian Hu, I do some business in Chu City, and I often come to Beicheng. I wonder if there will be an opportunity to invite Mr. Yu to dinner next time." He did not hide the flattery on his face at all.
Yu Xin raised his thin eyelids, and his normally affectionate eyes now appeared extremely cold. As soon as Shen Mengqing saw his expression, she knew that he was about to say something sarcastic again.
"No need. If I remember correctly, I treated you two to tea last time in Chu City."
Recalling how the two of them were so angry at Yu Xin for splashing tea on them, Shen Mengqing almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qian Hu choked for a moment, and Xu Lu was so embarrassed and angry that she couldn't speak. Yu Xin took the opportunity to look at Shen Mengqing and said, "Is it about time to go? Aunt Chen is still waiting at home."
"Let's go."
As soon as Shen Mengqing finished speaking, Yu Xin casually reached out and naturally scooped up the coffee she had drunk from the table, gulping it down in a few mouthfuls.
Feeling the glaring gaze from the other side, Yu Xin shrugged and said to Shen Mengqing in a conciliatory tone, "I was so thirsty, I didn't drink any water on the way here."
Shen Mengqing was too lazy to argue with him: "Hurry up and leave."
She gave Hao Qisi a wink, who snapped out of her daze, got up, picked up her shopping bag, and followed Yu Xin and Shen Mengqing out of the coffee shop.
He thought to himself, "Do these adults just drink beverages that their friends of the opposite sex have drunk from? How open-minded!"
...
The three got into the car, and Hao Qisi was finally used to Yu Xin's luxury car.
He had just sat in the back seat when, recalling what had just happened, a series of chemical reactions seemed to have occurred in his mind, and he jumped up exaggeratedly.
Hao Qisi seized the gap between the two people in front of him and tried his best to remain calm as he asked, "Brother Yu Xin, are you the chairman of Yusheng Pharmaceutical?"
Yu Xin, with the steering wheel in his hands, replied, "Didn't your sister tell you?"
"No!" Hao Qisi turned to look at Shen Mengqing again, "Sis, don't you work at Yu Xin's company? I remember you were recently promoted to chairman's secretary..."
The situation was a bit complicated, yet it also seemed quite simple. Hao Qisi paused for a moment, then murmured, "So, sis, you're Yu Xin's secretary!"
No wonder Yu Xin asked him what would happen if his sister got scammed; it turns out that was what he was waiting for. It seems like he had been planning this for a long time.
No matter what, Hao Qisi was still a member of the Hao family. After realizing that Yu Xin had been deceiving Shen Mengqing for so long and that he had even tipped him off, he leaned back in his seat in anger, put his hands on his hips, and said, "You're not going to bully my sister anymore."
This is her good younger brother. Shen Mengqing, as if encouraging his arrogance, said to Yu Xin, "Did you hear that? I'm asking you."
When they encountered a red light, Yu Xin stepped on the brakes, glanced back at Hao Qisi who was glaring at him, and then glanced at Shen Mengqing, who was watching the show. The two of them seemed to have a close sibling relationship, which they always maintained in public.
He raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and whispered, "I was wrong."
Hao Qisi snorted. He didn't care about Yu Xin's identity. Whether he was a rich second-generation boss or a part-time tour guide, if he dared to bully his sister and make her sad, he would definitely settle the score with him.
After that, Hao Qisi forwarded several messages to Shen Mengqing, who found they were all articles from public WeChat accounts.
Don't let a man like this ruin your life.
Is wealth or good character the most important quality in a man?
...
Shen Mengqing was speechless and said directly, "Hao Qisi, don't search for random things."
"Sis, I'm just worried that you'll be deceived by some men."
As Hao Qisi said this, he glanced sideways at Yu Xin.
Yu Xin drove innocently, saying, "I can't do that. Can you have your sister lie to me instead?"
Shen Mengqing and Hao Qisi said in unison, "Dream on!"
The three of them chatted as they walked back to Tanxiang Road. As soon as Hao Qisi entered the residential area, he was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. He then took out his phone and snapped a few pictures.
Shen Mengqing said helplessly, "You're not allowed to post on WeChat Moments this time."
Hao Qisi lowered his chin and stuck out his tongue: "Okay."
Hao Qisi was a new customer, and as soon as Yu Xin's car drove in, Aunt Chen came out to greet them.
After getting off the car, Shen Mengqing pulled Hao Qisi over and told him to greet Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen, with her high EQ, praised him a few times for being tall and handsome, making him beam with joy.
The group entered the house, and Aunt Chen said that dinner would be served at six o'clock. Since there was still some time, Yu Xin brought out a game controller for Shen Mengqing and Hao Qisi to pass the time.
Hao Qisi recently took tennis as a physical education class at school. After seeing the tennis simulation game, he was eager to try it out and asked Shen Mengqing to play against him.
Shen Mengqing rarely plays tennis, and when playing this kind of game, she couldn't control the timing of her swings. After several rounds, she was completely defeated by Hao Qisi, who probably played better than the AI.
"I'm not playing anymore." Shen Mengqing said sullenly, slumping onto the sofa.
Hao Qisi hadn't had enough fun yet, so he went up to his sister and begged her to play with him a little longer.
Upon seeing this, Yu Xin put down his computer and walked over to take the controller from Shen Mengqing's hand.
He took off his jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his sweatshirt, revealing his firm and strong forearms, the veins of which were clearly visible due to his fair skin.
“I’ll play with you,” Yu Xin said to Hao Qisi.
"OK!"
Hao Qisi verbally agreed, but secretly plotted to kill Yu Xinqiu and avenge his sister.
At the start of the match, Hao Qisi's playing style was aggressive and straightforward from beginning to end, winning several games right away. Yu Xin was not in a hurry, slowly responding to his moves, and remained calm even when he lost. From some game onwards, Hao Qisi suddenly felt that he was struggling more and more, and gradually began to be unable to return the balls that Yu Xin hit, no matter how focused he was.
In the end, he lost to Yu Xin by a large margin.
Hao Qisi hadn't recovered yet. He stared blankly at Yu Xin: "Brother, you can play tennis?"
“I didn’t say I couldn’t fight.” Yu Xin rotated her wrist.
Hao Qisi: "..."
He shuffled over, a hint of arrogance in his voice, and said, "Teach me, will you?"
"OK."
Shen Mengqing watched the two of them huddle together to practice their ball skills, and then yawned. When Aunt Chen came to call them for dinner, she almost fell asleep on the sofa.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Hao Qisi was still pestering Yu Xin with questions about tennis. When they reached the table, Shen Mengqing patted Hao Qisi and told him to finish his meal before continuing the conversation.
Before all the main dishes were served, Aunt Chen first served everyone soup. She had specially cooked Gastrodia elata and pigeon soup for dinner, a treatment that Zhu Shaoming hadn't even received at noon.
Just as they sat down, Yu Xin suddenly received a phone call. He went to answer it first, while Aunt Chen served two bowls of food to Shen Mengqing and Hao Qisi.
Shen Mengqing blew on some of the soup noodles to cool them down, scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth. The soup was very delicious, just right for this weather, and it warmed him up nicely. He then ate a bite of the tender pigeon meat, and the aftertaste was unforgettable.
She drank a few more sips of soup, and Yu Xin hung up the phone and came back, saying to Aunt Chen, "I suddenly have a short meeting, it will be over soon, you guys eat first."
"Have a few sips to tide you over," Aunt Chen said, handing her a bowl of soup.
Yu Xin took the bowl, and her lips were scalded as soon as they touched the soup.
He put down his bowl and looked at Shen Mengqing for no apparent reason. Shen Mengqing thought he wanted to drink his own again, so he quickly stretched out his arm and covered the bowl.
Yu Xin chuckled and said, "Excuse me."
Not long after he left, Shen Mengqing finished her bowl of soup. Coincidentally, she suddenly received a meeting invitation from Chen Mo, asking her to attend as well.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Chen, Shen Mengqing walked out, phone in hand. Unexpectedly, she walked quite a distance without encountering a single room, only a lavishly decorated corridor. Only after finally passing through the corridor did a room appear on her left.
Shen Mengqing pushed open the door and went inside. It was dimly lit. Yu Xin was leaning against the wall by the door, listening to his colleagues' reports in the meeting. The only light in the room was from his phone screen.
There was no other option but to find another room. Just as Shen Mengqing was about to leave, her wrist was grabbed by a force.
"Drive right here."
Yu Xin said in a low voice.
