Chapter 49 Taking a Walk "Uh, it should be a best friend kiss, right?" ...
Little Sheep, Rush! Our CEO, Mr. Yi, has invited you to dinner. Are you free?
Xiao Yang numbly typed out the message and sent it.
Bai Yeke paused in her embrace of the pillow, then hugged it even tighter.
Are they seeing each other too frequently?
But it's normal for friends to meet frequently.
The elevator arrived at the underground parking garage. Yi Sheng opened her eyes and walked out. "Did she agree?"
Xiao Yang thought to himself, "Unless it's something earth-shattering, extremely urgent, and absolutely necessary for me, who would refuse your invitation?"
Anyway, Xiao Yang thought that if Yi Sheng asked her to have dinner alone, she would do everything she could to arrive on time.
However, the person on the other end of the phone did not reply.
"Not yet, I don't think I've seen it."
"oh."
Little Lamb, charge! ?
Little Lamb Rush: The apprentice replies.
Bai Yeke held her phone, her brows slightly furrowed as she typed.
Coconut Cola: Okay, I'm fine with it.
Little Lamb, Charge! ok
After putting down her phone, Bai Yeke's brows relaxed unconsciously, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Buzz." The phone vibrated again. Bai Yeke swiped to check it, and the expression on her face gradually faded.
Mr. Sun: Mr. Bai, how about we have lunch together? Would you do me the honor?
Mr. Sun: You've rejected me so many times already, you can't reject me again this time, or I'll be heartbroken.
"..." Bai Yeke typed expressionlessly.
Coconut Cola: I'm so sorry, Mr. Sun, I do have an appointment for lunch today. I made it yesterday.
Mr. Sun: Hehe.
Mr. Sun: That's really unfortunate.
Coconut Cola: Yes.
Mr. Sun: It's my fault, I should have made the appointment with you earlier.
Mr. Sun: Right?
Coconut Cola: Hehe.
Mr. Sun: I just saw this too. The thing about your partner in that competition that's been circulating online is pretty impressive.
Mr. Sun: Designer Bai must be a very busy person.
Mr. Sun: I will definitely make the appointment earlier next time.
Coconut Cola: Okay.
Bai Ye gave a perfunctory reply and tossed her phone aside.
There are plenty of sarcastic customers, but customers who are this annoying are quite rare.
After lunch, Bai Yeke had a perfect afternoon nap with a clear mind, but as soon as she opened her eyes, trouble came.
"Teacher Bai," came the phone from the front desk. "Mr. Sun is waiting for you here. Would you like to come over as soon as possible?"
"Okay." Bai Yeke, who was originally in high spirits, was now a little depressed and sighed.
"Mr. Sun, you're here." Bai Yeke walked over with her laptop, sat down at the small table and chair, turned on the laptop, and put on a formulaic smile. "Do you have any ideas for changes?"
"No rush." Mr. Sun drank tea from the teacup with one hand, seemingly spitting out tea leaves onto the ground without a care.
Bai Yeke's smile froze slightly.
"I had that designer He from here design a house before, you know her, right?" Mr. Sun asked casually.
"Of course, my colleague."
"That woman is petty, ha," Mr. Sun sneered. "Don't listen to her nonsense."
Is there any necessary connection between being petty and talking nonsense?
Besides, whether you're talking nonsense or not, you've already shown me.
Mr. Sun said to her smugly, "Besides, let me tell you, I'm not the same person I was back then."
"My net worth," Mr. Sun said mysteriously, "is beyond your imagination."
"Hehe." Bai Yeke smiled. "You're in the big business world, what's the point of us, the service providers, imagining all that? We just want to do our job well."
"Heh." Mr. Sun shook his head. "That means we need to do our job well, and we also need to provide good customer service."
"Next time I get a deal, it'll definitely be with you again," Mr. Sun said, adopting the air of a major client.
"You're joking. It's a towering structure. Thank you for taking care of it. But for us workers, we still have to follow the leader's arrangements."
Before Mr. Sun could say anything more, Bai Ye answered a phone call and said, "Mr. Sun, please have a seat for a while. I have something to take care of here, but I'll be back in a bit."
Mr. Sun waved his hand dismissively.
Bai Yeke then began guerrilla warfare.
As the highest-ranking designer in the store, how could she possibly have few tasks?
She would call every now and then, so she didn't leave Mr. Sun hanging. She would also come over for a visit every now and then.
However, Mr. Sun had no business to discuss and started chatting casually, even recounting his previous entrepreneurial history, which was incredibly bumpy. Bai Ye was clearly not interested and was outwardly just going along with the client's wishes, but Mr. Sun understood this perfectly well.
Bai Ye admired Mr. Sun's perseverance and patience.
Even after get off work, Bai Yeke sat at the small table tidying up her things, wearing a polite smile. "Mr. Sun, let's chat again next time."
"Hehe." Mr. Sun also laughed, showing no intention of getting up. "Don't do it next time. It just so happens that you're getting off work around dinner time. Let's have dinner together. It's better to be lucky than early."
Bai Yeke: "..."
It's obvious that they deliberately dawdled until the end of the workday, what does that have to do with Qiao?
"This... I'm really sorry, Mr. Sun." Bai Yeke pretended to be embarrassed. "I have an appointment, which I just made this morning. It's really unfortunate."
"Ha, that's no fun." President Sun grabbed Bai Yeke's wrist. "You've been running around all afternoon, whether you're really busy or not, we both know the answer, and I haven't said anything, right?"
"Just because I've been sitting here all afternoon, Designer Bai can't refuse to have this meal with me, can he?" he said, half threatening and half mocking.
Bai Yeke's expression turned cold. "Mr. Sun, I really do have an appointment tonight."
"Rejected." Mr. Sun's statement left no room for argument. "Is this how you treat your guests at Santian?"
The colleagues who hadn't finished walking through the lobby watched them with concern, but didn't dare to step forward and stop them.
"Teacher Bai!" A clear, melodious voice rang out from afar, breaking through the chaos of the room.
Yi Sheng saw from afar that something was wrong and called out a warning.
She quickened her pace and arrived at the table.
Bai Ye was in a state of turmoil. She didn't want Yi Sheng to see this situation. She tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't.
She looked at President Sun, her expression already showing anger.
"What's going on?" Yi Sheng asked coldly, looking at President Sun.
Mr. Sun is, after all, a boss. It's really unseemly for him to use such force to pull and tug at a woman in public.
When Bai Yeke tried to pull his hand away again, he deliberately let go suddenly.
Bai Ye was caught off guard by the inertia and stumbled backward, almost falling. She was swaying but Yi Sheng reacted quickly and stepped forward to support her, and she leaned against Yi Sheng's chest.
After Bai Yeke stopped, Yi Sheng let go of her hand, stepped aside, and stood next to her.
"Hmph." President Sun snorted coldly at the two of them.
In Mr. Sun's eyes, the two women were both very beautiful, but that was all; they were just pretty, not on his level at all. And in the eyes of someone like him, pretty women of a lower caliber were nothing more than ornaments for men.
These two women, however, were blind to his greatness and dared to offend him.
However, he felt that the aloof beauty who had just arrived looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place her.
"Mr. Sun, I'm sorry, that's all for today." Bai Yeke's face was not pleasant, but since he was a client, she couldn't be too blunt. "My friend has arrived."
"Ha." Mr. Sun was genuinely amused. "This is the friend you invited? You're acting all serious. Aren't you going to introduce him?"
Bai Ye frowned, unwilling to say any more.
Yi Sheng looked over coldly, "Yi Sheng."
The disdainful smile on Mr. Sun's face was still there. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and shocked. His various expressions changed in an instant, and finally turned into a solemn and cautious smile.
He's not stupid. He can't make friends with someone like Yi Sheng, but it would be very bad if Yi Sheng became his enemy.
It turns out that Bai Yeke's promise was true, and the collaboration between the two that he saw online today was also real.
Judging from their appearance, the two might not be close friends, but they were acquainted. In this situation, it would be inappropriate for him to do anything to Bai Ye in front of Yi Sheng.
"Heh." President Sun adopted a shrewd businessman's demeanor. "So it's President Yi. No wonder you have such an extraordinary air about you. Since Designer Bai has already made an appointment, I certainly shouldn't disturb you."
Bai Ye gave him a reluctant nod, but Yi Sheng grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
After taking only a few steps, Yi Sheng let go of her hand.
Bai Ye noticed this detail and was a little confused. Was Yi Sheng originally aloof and distant, or was it because of her recent deliberate attempts to keep her distance that Yi Sheng became like this?
The car was parked in front of the store. Although it was only a ten-minute walk from Baiyeke, the two of them still drove, otherwise Yi Sheng would have to make another trip to pick up the car after they finished eating.
Bai Ye was in a bad mood, but she could sense that Yi Sheng was also clearly in a low mood.
It's all because of that General Manager Sun.
Bai Ye Ke felt nauseous just thinking about it; she was truly fed up.
"Do you encounter people like that often at work?" Yi Sheng asked her.
“Not many, just his.” Bai Ye knew that Yi Sheng was worried about her. “I told you before, he also got annoyed with another colleague of mine.”
"Hmm." Yi Sheng responded softly; she remembered.
“My colleague felt that he was a little different this time. He always seemed to be in a particularly good mood, as if he had some kind of halo of glory... He said he was richer than before, I wonder if he made a fortune. Well, it’s good that he has money and status, so it’s easier for him to do some things that are too outrageous.” Bai Yeke comforted her, “It’s okay, just get through the final payment period. My colleague was like that too. Just don’t agree to any of his unreasonable demands, just drag it out, and he can’t do anything about it.”
Yi Sheng went along with her, her expression softening slightly. "Bearing humiliation and hardship? I've done that too."
"Um……?"
Did Yi Sheng ever need to endure humiliation and hardship?
Oh, I think so.
Bai Ye recalled that before Yi Sheng took over the Yi family business, she must have also endured a period of humiliation and hardship. However... looking at this woman now, it's hard to imagine what it was like for her to endure humiliation and hardship back then.
This topic is a bit heavy. Is Yi Sheng using his own past to encourage her?
Bai Yeke turned her head and joked, "You've done that too? Doesn't that mean I'm amazing?"
Yi Sheng chuckled softly, "Yes, very impressive."
She answered in her heart, "No, there's no need."
With her here.
This episode quickly came to an end.
Being with someone you like, taking a short walk, or sitting down for a meal together is very pleasant, so pleasant that you can forget all your troubles.
Yi Sheng said he wanted to eat snacks, and Bai Ye didn't really want to eat rice, so the two of them wandered around the food court.
“That one!” Yi Sheng’s eyes narrowed.
Bai Yeke followed her gaze and looked over. "Potato tower?"
"Hmm, so it's called potato tower," Yi Sheng said casually. "It looks pretty delicious."
"You've never eaten this before?" Bai Ye asked in surprise.
"without."
The two walked over and ordered one.
While waiting, Bai Ye went to the shop next door and ordered a takoyaki (octopus balls) to go.
The specially made meatballs in the pot are being flipped over.
Looking at the pot, Bai Yeke suddenly realized that Yi Sheng had never eaten potato towers before, so why did he suddenly want to eat them?
Have you seen anyone else eat this recently?
Isn't that what those two girls who shared food ate a few days ago?
"Here you go." The shop assistant handed her the bag of small glutinous rice balls.
Bai Ye took the table and sat down at the table next to her. The tables on the food floor are all shared and not separated by store.
Yi Sheng's potato tower is ready too.
The two sat facing each other.
"It's a bit crispy, and the inside is chewy," Yi Sheng commented after taking a bite of the potato tower. "It's pretty good."
Bai Ye pointed to the ketchup, "Try squeezing a little."
Yi Sheng squeezed out a little as instructed, ate some more, and raised an eyebrow, "It's really good."
Many people at other tables around them were sharing food, but the two of them just chatted occasionally while eating their own portions.
After dinner, Yi Sheng suggested taking a walk in the square downstairs, and Bai Ye naturally had no objection.
The square isn't very big; only the central area is lively, with stalls selling balloons, flowers, and other trinkets.
The two avoided the noise and strolled around the edge of the square, where there were few people around.
The streetlights are spaced a few meters apart. They are not very bright, but they are bright enough to see the road without being too dazzling.
"I'll try your little dumpling next time," Yi Sheng said as they walked.
"Okay," Bai Yeke commented, "That place has pretty good food."
They made a promise that next time, perhaps when they both had free time in the evening, they could get together and have some snacks.
There were two people sitting on the bench over there, but they didn't notice them at first.
As I got closer, passing by at a distance of a few meters, I could finally see clearly that the two were kissing, their kiss hazy and ambiguous in the night. Even in the darkness, I could still make out that they were two long-haired girls.
The moment Bai Ye realized what was happening, she abruptly looked away as if she had been burned. Then she saw that Yi Sheng was also looking in that direction. Because of her turning her head, Yi Sheng's gaze fell on her face, and the two made eye contact.
It was still quite cold that day. Bai Ye had put on a scarf when she came out of the mall, but now she suddenly felt her blood rushing.
After walking in silence for about half a minute, Bai Ye finally spoke up, overcome by an indescribable embarrassment and heat, "Uh, it should be best friend kiss."
However, after saying that, she wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide.
That's so stupid. It would have been better not to say anything at all than to ease the tension.
Yi Sheng is an adult, not someone who lives in a vase. How could he not have seen such a scene before?
She's really trying too hard to cover up her mistake, like trying to hide something obvious.
