The meal was surprisingly peaceful.
Yan Shao naturally adopted the air of a master, while Cheng Ye was surprisingly gentle, completely lacking the confrontational demeanor he had when walking with Yan Shao before. This puzzled Zhu Qianying.
Of course, she didn't want to see Yan Shao and Cheng Ye fighting each other openly and secretly; it's just that things didn't develop quite as she had imagined.
After dinner, Cheng Ye actually asked for Qin Xiu's phone number.
The group said goodbye at the restaurant entrance. Cheng Ye took a taxi back to the jewelry store, Zhu Qianying and Zizai were driven back to the Yan family by the Yan family's driver, and Yan Shao was driven back to Yanhuang by the driver.
Yan Shao instructed the driver to drive the car straight into the underground parking lot, and then from the basement level directly to his office floor.
As Yan Shao stepped out of the elevator, he saw Qin Xiu carrying a large stack of documents and walking towards the elevator.
Upon seeing him, Qin Xiu gave him a serious look and asked, "Sir, didn't you see Miss Yi?"
Yan Shao frowned slightly. "Why should I see her?"
Qin Xiu glanced at him again, "She's been waiting for you at the reception desk downstairs all afternoon!"
"Let her be!" Young Master Yan said casually, and went straight into the reception hall.
Since that night at Yiran Pavilion, Young Master Yan has blocked all of Yi Wei's contact information. He also told the front desk that anyone who is Yi Wei or a member of the Yi family should be told that he is not there, and that if they come to visit, they should be stopped by all means.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult for Yi Wei to see him now.
Qin Xiu had never had a good impression of Yi Wei before, but after watching that good show that night and the subsequent commotion caused by the Yi family of four at Yanhuang, he looked down on Yi Wei even more.
"Master, have you heard about this?" Qin Xiu turned back and caught up with Young Master Yan.
"What?"
Yan Shao pushed open the office door, walked in, and sat down.
"It seems the Yi family is planning a marriage alliance with the Wang family of D City..."
Yan Shao opened the documents on the table, glanced at them, and said, "So what?"
For Yan Shao, the Yi family and Yi Wei are now completely irrelevant to him.
If it weren't for the past friendship between the Yi family, Yi Wei, and the Yan family, the Yi family wouldn't have been able to get away with just a little economic turmoil this time.
"Yi Wei is going to marry the eldest son of the Wang family."
The Wang family in D City holds a similar position to the Yan family in L City.
However, as everyone knows, this eldest son of the Wang family is not only over thirty years old, but also disabled.
It's not exactly a disability, but it's something that requires a wheelchair for many years. The reason for this seems to be a car accident when he was a teenager, which made it difficult for him to walk.
"That's her business!"
Yan Han felt that he was not a savior, and that the Yi family and Yi Wei had brought this situation upon themselves, so they had no one else to blame but themselves.
It's her business if she's willing to marry a disabled man for the sake of her family's interests; what does it have to do with him?
"Okay, then I'll tell the receptionist to ask them to ask Yi Wei to leave!"
Yan Shao remained noncommittal, only looking down at his own documents.
Qin Xiu reached the door when Yan Shao suddenly called out to him, "Cheng Ye, you know him, right?"
Qin Xiu turned to look at him, "Shadow Boss?"
"That's right. Ying Jewelry is going to set up its domestic headquarters in L City and plans to open three more branches. If he asks you about store locations, please be understanding."
Qin Xiu didn't understand what Young Master Yan meant at first. "Sir, what you mean by taking responsibility is..."
Is it to offer some assistance? Or to trip them up?
"Please take care of me!"
Qin Xiu was a little surprised. He had heard from Kai Zi that Cheng Ye was probably his master's rival in love.
"Okay! I understand!"
...
The next day, the news that the eldest daughter of the Yi family was going to marry the eldest son of the Wang family in D City spread like wildfire in L City. Even Zhu Qianying overheard the news from the idle chatter of the servants of the Yan family. She was surprised, but didn't think much of it.
Young Master Yan is a fierce tiger. Yi Wei knew his nature, but she still tried to provoke him and ended up being bitten all over. She has no one to blame but herself.
Meanwhile, the stock price of the Yi family slowly climbed due to the news that it was going to form a marriage alliance with the wealthy Wang family. The banks and business partners that had been busy urging the Yi family to repay the loan gradually quieted down. It seemed that the Yi family and the Yi family were saved.
The news from the Zhu family was relatively more secretive. Compared to the Yi family, which was involved in economic troubles and was also suspected of committing crimes, the Zhu family's situation was much more serious and therefore more confidential.
In addition, Zhu Qianying was really busy and didn't have much time to inquire about the gossip of the Zhu family.
On the second day after the Lantern Festival, Cheng Ye invited her to go see the shop together. Besides Cheng Ye, Qin Xiu was also there.
Qin Xiu was instructed by his boss to take good care of Cheng Ye, so when he received Cheng Ye's call that afternoon, he was exceptionally attentive. After understanding Cheng Ye's needs, he provided several options and specific locations, and arranged to go and check them out together the next day.
As the chief designer of Ying Jewelry and a good friend of the boss, it was perfectly reasonable for Zhu Qianying to accompany Cheng Ye to look at the shop.
"Shadow, I think this place is nice!"
The Yanhuang Group owns far more than a hundred shops in L City. It wouldn't be difficult to select a few that meet Cheng Ye's requirements.
Therefore, Cheng Ye was very satisfied with the two-story shop in the central location. Zhu Qianying followed Cheng Ye and Qin Xiu around and also thought it was quite good.
"Yes, it's really good!" Zhu Qianying nodded in agreement.
Qin Xiu watched the interaction between the two, and for some reason, he felt uncomfortable. Although both of them behaved very properly and neither of them did anything excessive, he still felt that something was wrong.
After looking at the shop, Cheng Ye said he needed to go back and think about it. Zhu Qianying hadn't been back to the jewelry store for several days, so the Yan family's driver took Cheng Ye back to the jewelry store.
Qin Xiu returned to the Yanhuang Group and briefly explained the situation to Young Master Yan. The busy Young Master Yan simply said "I understand" and didn't ask any further questions.
"Master..."
There were some things Qin Xiu didn't know whether he should say or not.
"explain!"
Understanding and tacit agreement are always mutual, not one-sided. These two have worked together for more than ten years. Not only does Qin Xiu know Yan Shao's temperament well, but Yan Shao also knows Qin Xiu the same way.
"The boss of the shadows..."
"Hmm?!" This time, Young Master Yan finally raised his head. "What, is he not satisfied with the price?"
Qin Xiu shook his head. "No, he even asked about the purchase price in detail. Judging from his expression, he seems to prefer buying the shop."
"Is there anything else?" Yan Shao was unusually patient; perhaps when it concerned Zhu Qianying, his patience increased considerably.
"I feel like he hasn't given up on Shadow yet..."
