Chapter 20 Chameleon Meng Yanchen
Meng Yanchen had just finished signing a document when his phone screen lit up. It was Xiao Yixiao calling.
"Hello."
Meng Yanchen answered the phone, his voice calm.
"Old Meng, Qinqin will come to the bar in a while." Xiao Yixiao's voice was a little tentative.
"Um."
Meng Yanchen replied calmly, "I understand."
The person on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned. "Know? What do you mean by know? You're not coming?"
"I have something to do." Meng Yanchen said lightly.
"Something? It's almost time to get off work, what could be the matter?"
Xiao Yixiao lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Did you two have another fight? When Qinqin was around, you always showed up as if it was raining knives from the sky."
"Not anymore,"
He said calmly, "Don't let her drink too much. If it's too late, notify Song Yan to take her home."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Xiao Yixiao stared at the black screen and turned to Zhan Xiaorao with a blank look on his face.
"Am I too excited to see the devil?"
"What are you talking about?"
Zhan Xiaorao came over in confusion, "What did Meng Yanchen say?"
"He said..."
Xiao Yixiao mechanically repeated, "Let Song Yan take her home."
He changed his tone and added, "Has the black magic cast on Meng Yanchen been lifted?"
Zhan Xiaorao rolled her eyes. "They didn't really have a fight, did they? I'll have to ask Qinqin later."
"If you ask me,"
Xiao Yixiao leaned back on the sofa and said, "It would be great if Old Meng really came to his senses this time. Qinqin is already engaged to Song Yan, so they should just live their lives in peace. The three of them shouldn't get involved with each other anymore."
"What are you saying!"
Zhan Xiaorao glared at him dissatisfiedly, "Even if you're married, you've been my brother for over twenty years. You can't just give up your sister because you're engaged and Meng Yanchen can't get his love?"
Xiao Yixiao shook his head, "You are biased. I have seen with my own eyes how Lao Meng has been through all these years. Brother, if you don't feel sorry for him, then I do!"
"Stop!"
Zhan Xiaorao interrupted him, "Anyway, I stand on Qinqin's side. If Meng Yanchen is really so heartless, then he is really a piece of shit."
The two of them were arguing, and no one noticed that Lin Su behind the bar quietly put away her phone, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

Meng Yanchen had just hung up the call with Xiao Yixiao when his phone lit up again.
This time it was Shi Yan who called.
"Yanchen, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together and talk about the project you mentioned last time."
"Can."
Meng Yanchen glanced at his watch, "Seven o'clock, Lantingxuan."
After hanging up the phone, he picked up his suit jacket and prepared to leave when there was a gentle knock on the office door.
Qin Yu pushed the door open and walked in, "Mr. Meng..."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Meng Yanchen raised his hand to interrupt him.
"It's Miss Fan."
Meng Yanchen paused while tying his tie, was silent for two seconds, put his coat back on, turned around and walked back to his desk.
"Let her in."
Fan Shengmei stepped into Meng Yanchen's office for the first time.
In the spacious space, the city skyline is visible outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and documents are neatly arranged on the desk.
There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the office.
"What's the matter?" Meng Yanchen said in a flat tone.
Fan Shengmei went straight to the point and handed the phone to him.
"Is this person the project manager of your new project?"
She leaned closer to him and pointed at Yang Chengdong's photo, and a faint green orange scent came from her hair.
Meng Yanchen's gaze fell on Fan Shengmei, his chest still rising and falling slightly, obviously he had rushed over.
Are you in such a hurry?
She was wearing the light blue dress she had worn at the entrance of Ocean Park that day, which reminded him of the little girl who had thrown herself into her arms and called "Mom," and Chen Jiakang who was standing beside her.
"Is there any problem?" His voice turned three degrees colder.
Fan Shengmei frowned: "Have you verified the backgrounds of all the people involved in this new energy project?"
New energy projects, she came here for the new energy projects.
Meng Yanchen's expression became even gloomier. Was she coming to plead for mercy just because he canceled the meeting with Chen Jiakang?
No wonder she was in such a hurry. Why did she think I would give Chen Jiakang the green light just because of her?
"Mr. Meng?" Fan Shengmei reminded him again.
"Ms. Fan."
Meng Yanchen leaned back in his chair, his eyes behind the glasses were cold.
"Let's not talk about you not being a Guokun employee. Even if you were, the new energy project has a dedicated project team, and our staff are not allowed to pry into it at will. So, what right do you have to ask about this?"
He tapped the table with his fingertips. "If you do this, I'll suspect you're here to pry into business secrets."
Fan Shengmei was stunned.
Is this man a chameleon? He changes every day. Wasn't he fine the last time we met? Now what's going on?
Indeed, she couldn't assume that two people were friends just because someone showed kindness to her twice occasionally.
If you occasionally treat someone to two cups of milk tea, does that mean you and your partner will become part of the same world?
Obviously not.
“Buzz—”
The phone rang again.
"Hello."
Meng Yanchen answered the phone, but his eyes were fixed on Fan Shengmei.
"Yanchen, I'm almost at Lantingxuan. Have you left?" Shi Yan's voice came from the receiver.
"You guys eat."
Meng Yanchen's eyes wandered over Fan Shengmei's face, "I have something to do."
After hanging up the phone, the office fell into an eerie silence.
Fan Shengmei took a deep breath and said, "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'm sorry to bother you with your precious time."
you?
Meng Yanchen's face turned even darker.
It's always the same sentence, and every time I'm in a hurry to get him away.
"I said, I'm not busy, you go ahead!" Meng Yanchen insisted stubbornly.
"It's okay. I was meddling in other people's business. Just pretend I wasn't here today."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Meng Yanchen's Adam's apple rolled, and he opened his mouth to try to keep her, but he couldn't.
Fan Shengmei became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She took a few steps and then suddenly turned back and slapped Meng Yanchen on his desk.
"Meng Yanchen, are you sick?"
Meng Yanchen's pupils shrank slightly.
"Don't you meditate and burn incense all day? Have you lost your temper? Fortunately you are rich, otherwise no one could stand your unpredictable temper!"
The office suddenly became quiet.
Meng Yanchen's eyes widened slightly behind his glasses, obviously not expecting to be scolded.
He knew he was not right, but he still uttered four words slowly and stubbornly.
"I don't need it!"
"ha?"
"I don't need to cater to anyone because I have money." He spoke slowly and seriously.
Fan Shengmei was speechless, her hands on the table, and she was so angry that she laughed.
Meng Yanchen adjusted his glasses and softened his tone.
"So, you're here for the new energy roadshow?"
Fan Shengmei sighed, took out her phone again, and pulled out the photo.
"Yang Chengdong used to be the manager of our company's risk control department. He was fired for bidding for a competitor. I handled the formalities myself, so he should still be in the prohibited period."
She tapped the table. "Besides, are you sure you can entrust such an important project to someone with a tainted record?"
Meng Yanchen was stunned. "So, you came here because of this?"
"Of course, what else do you think it is?"
Fan Shengmei analyzed seriously, "I thought about it on the way here. He was able to get into your company, it must be more than just tampering with his resume. Someone inside your company must have given him the green light."
Meng Yanchen listened to Fan Shengmei's clear and logical analysis of Yang Chengdong's affairs, and his eyes moved slightly behind his glasses.
An indescribable joy suddenly welled up in his heart.
She didn't come for Chen Jiakang, but...
"I see."
His tone was calm, but his fingertips unconsciously stroked the table. "I'll take care of this matter. Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang again.
This time it’s Zhan Xiaorao.
"Hello."
"Meng Yanchen!"
Zhan Xiaorao's voice was a little anxious, "Qinqin has drunk too much, you come..."
"Let Xiao Yixiao contact Song Yan."
He hung up decisively.
Fan Shengmei stood up and said, "Okay, since you already know everything, I won't bother you anymore. I see you've been quite busy tonight."
"I send you."
Meng Yanchen suddenly stood up, and without waiting for her to refuse, he strode towards the elevator and pressed the power off button.

In the bar
Zhan Xiaorao looked at the hung up phone and shook her head at Xu Qin who was not far away.
Lin Su, who was standing opposite Xu Qin, had a smug smile on her face.
"I told you, he won't come!"
