"Okay, I understand. I'll get back to work now."
Yan Shao also regained his seriousness, "Okay, go ahead and get busy. In the future, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. Don't listen to those messy rumors outside."
Both of them were busy. After hanging up the phone, Yan Shao went to a meeting in a very good mood. Zhu Qianying came out of the office, and her face looked much more relaxed than when she went in.
Store manager Wang Chunsi handed her her takeout. "Shadow, what's making you so happy?"
Zhu Qianying blinked, then subconsciously touched her face. "No, there's nothing happy about it!"
Wang Chunsi glanced at her thoughtfully. "Still lying to me? You rushed into the office so excitedly just now, you really scared me!"
Of course, Wang Chunsi was exaggerating a bit, but when Zhu Qianying received Xing Bailun's call and heard those rumors that were detrimental to Yanhuang, she was indeed quite worried, and her expression naturally wasn't very pleasant.
"It was just a misunderstanding. Once it's cleared up, everything will be fine!"
Zhu Qianying's statement wasn't exactly a lie.
Compared to those unfounded rumors, or even Qin Xiu's words, she was still more willing to believe Yan Shao.
Even if Yanhuang were to withdraw from the bidding, it would certainly be because withdrawing would be more advantageous than continuing.
Sometimes, having something isn't necessarily a good thing!
Giving up might not be a bad choice!
What's the misunderstanding?
Cheng Ye, who had just entered the room, heard Zhu Qianying's words as soon as he returned, so he came over to ask her.
He had been back in L City for two or three days, and Zhu Qianying, who had rested for a few days before, had also become busy with him.
"Shadow might have had a fight with her husband, Young Master Yan. Her face turned pale just now! But the young couple has a good relationship; one phone call and her mood has turned from gloomy to sunny!"
Wang Chunsi's words were purely speculation and a joke, but Cheng Ye heard them with a different meaning.
"Shadow, are you free tonight? How about we have dinner together?"
Cheng Ye has been very busy lately. Although he has indeed spent more time with Zhu Qianying, this time together is all about their colleagues.
He really wanted to spend some time with Zhu Qianying in private, but either he was too busy, or Zhu Qianying made various excuses to avoid it.
"Cheng, I'm sorry, I have to go back to the restaurant to help out tonight."
And recently, Zhu Qianying's reasons have almost all come from this.
But in fact, Zhu Qianying wasn't lying. Recently, the restaurant's business has been booming, just like when it first opened. After get off work, Zhu Qianying would indeed go into the kitchen to help Chen Jing.
“Perfect timing, I’ll go with you. Aunt Jing’s shop has been open for so long, but I haven’t been there to support her yet.”
After Cheng Ye said that, Zhu Qianying could no longer find a reason to refuse.
Around 7 p.m., Zhu Qianying and Cheng Ye got out of two cars one after the other. Zhu Qianying, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted Yan Shao's car parked in its usual spot.
As Cheng Ye and I entered the shop, we didn't see Yan Shao, but we did see Bai Shao and Bai Xiangdong, who had been coming to the shop every day without fail.
“Shadow, this must be your boss, Mr. Cheng, right?” Although Bai Shao had never met Cheng Ye, she had heard Zhu Qianying mention him, so she quickly made up her mind.
Cheng Ye had no idea of Zhu Qianying's existence as a best friend. He smiled and extended his hand to Bai Shao, "Hello, I'm Cheng Ye!"
Zhu Qianying introduced the two to each other, and after exchanging pleasantries, she looked around.
"Where's Xiaolu?"
Bai Shao pointed outside with her chin, "Young Master Yan picked up Zizai and the two little brats ran out to play!"
Having anticipated this, Zhu Qianying responded with an "Oh," while Cheng Ye paused slightly in surprise.
I finally managed to find some time to come over, and I just ran into him?
Cheng Ye, who kept telling himself to take it slow, couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
Before she could even think about how to face Young Master Yan, a familiar voice came from behind her.
"Mr. Cheng, it's been a long time!"
Actually, strictly speaking, the two haven't been apart for that long.
"Young Master Yan, hello! It's been a long time!"
Cheng Ye turned around and smiled and nodded at Yan Shao.
So, the dining table that was originally occupied only by Bai Shao and her father now has three more adults sitting at it.
The waiters were busy running around, so Zhu Qianying had to take care of Cheng Ye herself.
"Cheng, I've had someone reserve a private room for you on the second floor. Shall we go up now?"
Cheng Ye naturally knew that the business here was booming and that reservations usually had to be made a week in advance.
He glanced at Bai Shao and her father, "If Mr. and Ms. Bai don't mind, would you like to join us?"
It was only just now that he learned that Zhu Qianying had such a good friend, but judging from the familiar way Yan Shao and Bai Shao were, the two seemed to have known each other for a long time.
So, compared to Yan Shao, I actually understand Zhu Qianying even less?
"Of course I don't mind. It's perfect, I'm very curious about you, Mr. Cheng!"
Within minutes, Bai Shao discerned the subtle relationship between the three people before her. Although Zhu Qianying hadn't explicitly revealed anything to her.
Bai Shao only knew that both men in front of her had been rejected by Zhu Qianying.
The current situation also shows that these two men have not given up and are currently secretly competing with each other.
However, judging from the situation, it is still Yan Shao, the main character, who has the greater advantage!
"Oh? Miss Bai is curious about me?"
Cheng Ye couldn't help but feel a little smug. Bai Shao's curiosity about him meant that Zhu Qianying had mentioned him to her from time to time.
Zhu Qianying didn't want her friend to get involved, so she secretly glared at Bai Shao, signaling her not to say anything out of line.
Bai Shao pointed to the kitchen, "Go to the kitchen and help Aunt Jing, she's overwhelmed!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qianying looked up at the customers in the shop. Indeed, many customers were eagerly waiting for their dishes to be served.
"Okay, I'll go take a look. You two can chat."
Zhu Qianying didn't have time to pay attention to that, and got up to walk towards the kitchen.
Yan Shao and Cheng Ye's gazes seemed glued to her back until she disappeared into the kitchen, at which point they looked away.
"Young Master Yan, thank you for Xiao Lu's matter!"
Bai Lu had just returned to China, and enrolling in school was a major problem for her. But Yan Shao solved it easily with just one phone call, so Bai Shao immediately thanked him in person.
"It's nothing, why bother making a fuss?"
Yan Shao isn't one to boast. Besides, he helped Bai Shao not only for Zhu Qianying's sake, but also because she was Zong Zhe's ex-girlfriend. Now that Zong Zhe is gone, it's only natural for him to occasionally help this mother and daughter.
While Yan Shao and Bai Shao were talking about their child, Cheng Ye started chatting with Bai Xiangdong about antiques and jewelry.
Compared to Yan Shao, who knows nothing about antiques, Cheng Ye, a jeweler, naturally has more in common with Bai Xiangdong. The two talked about gemstones, porcelain, and then about the Eastern elements that have become popular in the West in recent years.
The two, who had only just met, were chatting enthusiastically in no time.
