Very reasonable
Before Weidong came to pick them up, Jiang Zhizhi called Chen Yuping and made up a lie, saying that Lu Hengshan was taking them out and that the hot pot would be saved for tomorrow. Lu Xiye also echoed this, so Chen Yuping didn't suspect anything.
In just over ten minutes, Wei Dong appeared in front of them driving a car. When he learned that Lu Xiye was going with them, he looked a little embarrassed, but he did not refuse. He let the two get in the car, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, hoping that this little playboy would not cause trouble.
"Uncle Wei, your Fenghua is such a big company, but you don't even have a translator? You even have to find Jiang Zhizhi? Does this count as employing child labor?" Lu Xiye leaned back in the back seat, mocking him in a quiet tone.
"How can this be considered an employment relationship? I'm just asking Zhizhi for a favor, don't make it too serious." Wei Dong looked at Jiang Zhizhi in the rearview mirror with a smile, "Right, Zhizhi?"
"I'm not questioning your position, I'm doubting your work ability. As the general manager's administrative secretary, you can't even hire a translator? Tsk tsk..." Lu Xiye's expression showed some disgust.
"I... this was just an accident. Besides, I was also helping Zhizhi earn some pocket money."
Wei Dong's mouth twitched. Actually, it was not that he couldn't find someone else. It was President Qin who personally asked for Jiang Zhizhi after he knew that the translation had an accident.
Jiang Zhizhi performed very well last time. Later, he accidentally heard President Qin and Lu Hengshan mention her name on the phone, but he was outside the door at the time and didn't know what they said specifically.
I think Qin Lin specifically mentioned Jiang Zhizhi, and Lu Hengshan was also involved.
But these are difficult to explain. As a secretary, I shouldn't say too much.
Hearing Wei Dong talking about pocket money, Lu Xiye smacked his lips and said, "That's true, she is quite short of money."

The colorful neon lights are flashing, making the night colorful.
The car stopped at the gate of Jasmine Entertainment Club in Jinhai District. When Lu Xiye saw the destination, his face looked a little ugly.
This is the most famous nightclub in Nanshi.
As a key middle school in Nanshi, the majority of students are excellent academically and morally. However, there is also a special group of students: the children of wealthy and powerful people. Many of these people are a mess in their studies, but they are very proficient in various entertainment venues in Nanshi.
Lu Xiye was originally from that circle, and in order to fit in, he had come here to play with others before.
They are young and play in a clean way, just drinking, singing and fighting.
However, it’s different for the adults.
Adolescents already know everything, and Lu Xiye naturally knows the dirty things involved.
"Weidong, why the hell did you bring Jiang Zhizhi to this kind of place?" Lu Xiye exploded. He had been quite polite to Weidong, but now he even cursed at him.
If there weren't seats blocking the front and back, he would probably have used his fists.
"What are you thinking? It's normal for adults to socialize here." Wei Dong looked at Lu Xiye helplessly, "If there really is something, will President Qin let me bring Zhizhi here?"
Jiang Zhizhi had also come to Jasmine for work and social events in her previous life, so naturally she wouldn't make a fuss like Lu Xiye.
She and Weidong got out of the car, and Lu Xiye followed behind with a reluctant look on his face. When he reached the door, he still blocked Jiang Zhizhi's way and said, "I still feel something is wrong. You'd better not go."
"Something's wrong?"
"Qin Lin and this guy don't look like good people. I don't believe that with Fenghua's strength, it can't find a translator on the market. You must have been cheated! Yes! That's right! You must have been cheated!" The more Lu Xiye thought about it, the more he felt that what he said made sense.
"No, I helped them translate once before." Jiang Zhizhi said lightly.
"I must have tricked you the first time! This time it's different!"
Seeing his anxious look, Jiang Zhizhi was silent for a moment and said, "Why don't you wait for me outside? We can contact each other anytime."
"You...you're really obsessed with money and there's no hope for you!" Lu Xiye had a look of disappointment on his face. "Forget it, I'll go in with you. You'll definitely regret it later!"
As they were talking, a middle-aged woman in a red haute couture dress came over from behind with great interest. "Hey, isn't this Secretary Wei? Why did you bring two children here?"
She had delicate makeup on and looked elegant, but there was a hint of shrewd snobbery between her brows.
"Director Gao." Wei Dong's expression immediately became formal and polite when he saw the woman. "Boss Qin asked me to bring them here."
"Boss Qin hasn't arrived yet?"
"Boss Qin will be here soon. Let me take you inside to rest..."
Wei Dong exchanged greetings with Mr. Gao as they entered the room, signaling Jiang Zhizhi and Lu Xiye to follow him with his eyes.
Entering the party hall on the third floor, everything has been arranged. The orange crystal chandelier casts a soft, dim light on the golden-red carpet. Two long tables covered with white porcelain tablecloths are placed with various exquisite high-end cakes and drinks, and snow-white jasmine flowers are dotted in between. The environment is luxurious and elegant.
"Zhizhi, you and Xiaoye wait here for a while. I'll come find you later. Before the party starts, feel free to eat whatever you like." Wei Dong was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and turned back to Lu Xiye, "This party is very important. You must not disrupt it, understand?"
make trouble?
Lu Xiye blinked and waved to Wei Dong, "Oh, I see. I definitely won't make trouble."
After Weidong left, Lu Xiye walked to the long table, picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
After savoring it for a while, he handed a piece to Jiang Zhizhi and said, "It's quite delicious. Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Zhizhi took the pastry and took a bite.
It was matcha flavored and a bit too sweet for her.
"Jiang Zhizhi, I suddenly thought of something very important." Lu Xiye said suddenly with his back to her.
She couldn't see his expression, "What's the matter?"
There was a commotion at the door of the party hall. Jiang Zhizhi looked back and saw Qin Lin coming over.
He was wearing a black suit, and his handsome face and tall figure of over 1.8 meters made him as dazzling as a movie star.
In the business world, appearance is certainly not that important, but Qin Lin is an exception. Wherever he is, everyone's attention can't help but be attracted to him.
Because he is so handsome that it is eye-catching.
Like everyone else, Jiang Zhizhi forgot what Lu Xiye had just said for a moment, and her attention was completely filled with Qin Lin.
"Sizzle—"
A harsh sound rang in her ears, interrupting Jiang Zhizhi's gaze towards Qin Lin. The moment she turned around, a woman's scream resounded throughout the banquet hall.
"ah!"
“Crash!”
"Bang!"
The tablecloth on a long table was torn off, and the cakes, vases, and wine on it fell down and spilled all over the floor.
The guests near the table were splashed with wine, and pastries fell at their feet, making a mess.
Before Jiang Zhizhi could react, her hand was suddenly grabbed.
“Run!”
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Xiye pulled her out of the party hall.
Jiang Zhizhi's mind went blank. She knew without a second thought that it must have been Lu Xiye who did it.
As he passed Qin Lin at the door, Lu Xiye even chuckled softly with pride.
By the time Jiang Zhizhi reacted, she had already been pulled to the stairs by Lu Xiye.
"Lu Xiye, are you crazy? What are you doing?"
She pushed Lu Xiye away and looked at him in disbelief.
Before Weidong left, he specifically said that this party was very important and could not be ruined.
Lu Xiye actually did such a thing on such an important occasion?
"I'm not crazy." Lu Xiye let go of her and leaned against the wall with a smug smile. "I just suddenly remembered that Fenghua Real Estate and my father's company are business competitors. Of course I have to disrupt the gathering of Qin Lin's important partner."
What he said was very righteous and sounded very reasonable. Jiang Zhizhi was unable to refute it for a moment.
"Okay, it's just two thousand dollars, I'll give it to you, let's go!"
He pulled Jiang Zhizhi and walked down the stairs.
Jiang Zhizhi was speechless. She didn't lack the two thousand yuan. She just wanted to find an excuse to transfer the money to Chen Yuping. Now, Lu Xiye completely ruined it.
Weidong would definitely not dare to look for her again.
"But didn't you say before that Qin Lin and your father are good friends? He even gave you a gift on your birthday, right?"
"One thing is one thing, friends are friends, and business is business."
Lu Xiye curled his lips, suppressed the little thoughts in his mind, and snorted.
Although there was a high-sounding reason for disrupting Qin Lin's party as he just mentioned, the fundamental reason was still for Jiang Zhizhi.
Subconsciously, he still felt that this club was not a good place. Qin Lin actually allowed Jiang Zhizhi, a minor, to come to such a place, which showed that he was not a good person.
His behavior just stopped Qin Lin from looking for Jiang Zhizhi again.
Kill two birds with one stone.

The party hall was in a mess because of Lu Xiye. Wei Dong was so scared that he broke out in cold sweats and didn't dare to breathe in front of Qin Lin.
Knowing clearly that Lu Xiye was a notorious problem teenager, he must have been crazy to agree to let him come with Jiang Zhizhi.
"Boss Qin..."
Qin Lin looked at the scene in front of him and laughed angrily, "You brought him here?"
"He was with Jiang Zhizhi and insisted on coming along. I thought..."
"What do you think?" Qin Lin glanced at him coldly, "I'll give you ten minutes to restore this place to its original state."
"yes."
"Take photos as evidence. I need to ask Mr. Lu for an explanation on this matter."
During the previous phone call, Lu Hengshan had mentioned that he could take Jiang Zhizhi to visit the business community in Nanshi more often under the pretext of translation. He also wanted Lu Hengshan to owe him a few more favors. In addition, the translation for this party did not require a very high level of skills, so he asked Weidong to find Jiang Zhizhi to be the translator for this party.
Now that the party was ruined by Lu Xiye, of course Lu Hengshan must be held responsible for his losses.
It is reasonable for a father to pay off his son’s debts.
