Chapter 24 We usually don't call this an interview but flirting

Ye Man was frightened by the shout and subconsciously pulled his hand out of Xu Huaiting's.

"Brother, why are you here?" He stood up nervously.

Ye Man is in such a bad condition now that he can't even use a walking stick. His family can't rest assured that he will run around outside by himself.

He sneaked out without telling anyone.

Of course he can't do it alone, it will be much easier with the help of the system.

Ye Man didn't think that he could hide the fact that he framed Ye Guowen from the Chi family, but that would have to wait until Ye Guowen was put into detention first, when no one except the lawyer could see him and he was the only one outside facing the Chi family, and the right to explain himself was all his.

He would never give Ye Guowen the opportunity to complain to the Chi family.

As a result, the plan was not completed and Chi Yan caught him sneaking out alone.

Chi Yan didn't even look at Xu Huaiting. She walked in quickly and checked Ye Man from head to toe. Seeing that he was fine, she finally felt relieved.

No one knows how he felt when he was in the middle of a meeting, casually glanced at the surveillance camera at home, and found that his brother, who had just been circling around Aunt Zhou, was nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye.

Chi Yan's breath became heavy. He stood in front of Ye Man without saying a word. His aura alone made Ye Man very nervous.

"elder brother......"

"Xiao Man," Chi Yan said calmly, "I remember I told you to call me if you have anything to say. You can go out, but you must have someone with you. What is it, who is it, that requires you to sneak out and meet someone alone without telling your family?"

Chi Yan didn't mention Xu Huaiting next to him at all, and didn't even look at him.

The coldness in the words made Xu Huaiting raise his eyebrows.

Ye Man's mind was still on the set of Today's Law, thinking of Ye Guowen, and he racked his brains to make an excuse: "Brother, I am..."

"I don't want to hear you now." Chi Yan interrupted in a deep voice.

Huh? Who said that? Ye Guowen? He's not here?

Ye Man hesitated for a second and thought of Xu Huaiting beside him.

At this time, Xu Huaiting had already stood up. He had no intention of revealing the thrilling thing that had just happened, but he also had no intention of explaining anything to Chi Yan. It was as if he was just passing by to have a meal. He nodded calmly and restrainedly at Chi Yan, said "let's go" to Ye Man, and walked past the two brothers calmly.

Chi Yan's face looked even worse.

How could a man like Xu Huaiting go to a small restaurant of about 10 square meters to eat out when he had nothing else to do? In the whole city of Beijing, what good things could he want that couldn't be delivered to him? Why would he take the time to make such a trip?

Xu Huaiting didn't say anything, and Secretary Chen didn't know what had just happened. He smiled apologetically at Chi Yan's death gaze and followed his boss, feeling a rare guilty conscience.

It wasn't a big deal, obviously he had done something good enough to earn the other party a banner, and saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. But for some reason, Secretary Chen always had a guilty conscience and a humiliating feeling.

As a secretary with an eight-figure annual income, he was used to following the Xu family's leader around, so it was rare for him to have such an opportunity to escape in a panic.

The image of his boss picking up the food that the brother didn't want and drawing with his hand came to his mind. It was hard to tell whether he rushed in to save the brother out of kindness or some other motive.

He didn't dare to say it, let alone ask.

I could only smile politely and pretend to be calm as I followed my boss to quickly evacuate the scene.

Chi Yan sneered.

Ye Man was personally dragged back home by President Chi.

I slipped out in the morning, and when I got home, I was able to catch up with the afternoon tea made by Aunt Zhou.

When I got back, Chi Jue was also at home.

It is said that his disappearance had shocked both Mr. Chi and Ms. Qin. They were both on business trips abroad these two days and could not come back, so they made a video call.

The video was connected. On the left, Chi Yan was sitting upright with his hands on his chest, looking solemn; on the right, Chi Jue was relaxed with his hands on the sofa on Ye Man's back; Ye Man was sitting in the middle, blinking rapidly, showing his unfamiliarity with the current situation.

As soon as Qin Fangrui connected the video, she called out "Xiao Man" and heard Ye Man softly call out, "Mom."

Ms. Qin, who was about to put on a stern face and scold her, suddenly changed her tone and dropped several degrees. She tapped the screen in an angry tone: "You kid, you just go out to play, why don't you tell your family before going out? Don't you know how worried your family is about you?"

The tone of his voice caused the assistant next to him to look at him in surprise.

Ye Man Wucuo said: "I'm sorry, I won't do it again next time."

He didn't consider whether anyone would worry about him if he disappeared.

The situation was so unfamiliar that he had no idea how to respond. He didn't know what to say except to apologize.

The system has been in this for a long time, and has never seen this little liar who speaks differently to different people speak so clumsily.

The family members chatted for a while, asked Ye Man if he had anything he liked and waited for his parents to bring it to him when they returned, and talked about some family matters before hanging up.

After the video ended, Chi Yan was still very angry and took Ye Man to the study room and scolded him for a while with a stern face. Chi Jue secretly told Ye Man that he could cry so that his elder brother would not scold him any more, but Ye Man did not cry.

He nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice and listened very attentively.

Halfway through the conversation, just as she was about to tell him to stay away from Xu Huaiting, saying that he was not a good person, Chi Yan lowered her head to reply to an email, then looked up again and found that the study was too quiet.

Ye Man curled up in a corner of the sofa, head tilted, and fell asleep.

The boy was very quiet when he was asleep, his whole body curled up, and the huge sofa only occupied a small corner.

His face was so pale that it was almost transparent. The vitality left his body as he fell into a deep sleep, revealing an abnormal tiredness and loneliness.

Because the sound of Chi Yan's voice disappeared, Ye Man began to sleep unsteadily. He frowned, his breathing became rapid, and he struggled like he was drowning.

Chi Yan tiptoed forward and picked him up.

Ye Man felt the warmth coming through his clothes and calmed down again.

Chi Yan sent him back to the room and covered him with a quilt.

The moment he closed the door, Ye Man opened his eyes quickly.

He touched his head and felt a cold sweat coming out of his head.

"Ye Man, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?" This was the first time the system saw him like this.

Ye Man sat in the darkness, smiling, still speaking in her usual sweet voice that was hard to tell whether it was real or fake: "Yes, I dreamed that you, Brother Tong, also left me and didn't want me anymore. There was no one to tell me stories to put me to sleep at night. It was so tragic. I was woken by the fright."

Is it just such a small thing, is it worth giving him nightmares?

The system is silent.

"You...if you continue to deceive me and play tricks on me, I will really not care about you anymore."

After the warning, she continued to read the story book to him without complaint.

......

In the darkness of night, the bruised and swollen man was twisted and forced to kneel in front of Maybach.

The man sitting in the back seat was playing with a pen in his hand, just an ordinary oil-based pen.

Secretary Chen glanced at the pen that he had specially asked someone to go back and get, and without saying anything, he looked at the man kneeling on the ground.

Xu Huaiting: "If you need anything in the future, come to me, whether it's money or something else, don't go to Ye Man, remember that."

Ye Guowen's mouth was blocked. He looked at Xu Huaiting with horror and nodded repeatedly.

The other party clearly said that he was let go, but then he turned around and asked someone to arrest him.

Xu Huaiting was very polite and explained a few words in a very good manner, then, under Ye Guowen's anxious gaze, he asked someone to send him home.

After the people left, Xu Huaiting said to Secretary Chen, "Send a few people to keep an eye on him."

Secretary Chen nodded.

After finishing all this, he said hesitantly: "Sir, I think Master Chi...is not a suitable person to work for you."

Or should we just let him go?

Secretary Chen thought of the other person's appearance during the day and felt so soft-hearted that he couldn't help but speak up for him.

Xu Huaiting raised his eyelids and looked at him without saying a word, his eyes expressing something indescribable.

Secretary Chen felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he was looked at, thinking that he had said something wrong.

After a while, Xu Huaiting spoke up: "Secretary Chen, I thought your brain, which is worth tens of millions of dollars, would not come up with the conclusion that I would choose to hire a person as my subordinate after he asked me to rub his belly in that tone."

Secretary Chen's mind went blank for a moment.

Xu Huaiting withdrew his gaze calmly, "In Xixili, we generally don't call this an interview."

"It's flirting."
