Chapter 40 Scruples
Yu Nian smiled perfunctorily: "It's nothing, I just think that Lawyer Qi Shi could have done more preparation before bullying others."
After saying that, she glanced at her watch and stood up. "Ten minutes are up. I'm leaving now."
Watching her get up and leave without hesitation, without giving him any face, Shi Chenrui tugged at his tie irritably, a hint of coldness flashing across his shrewd eyes.

Yu Nian was busy with her work here, and Ji Yanxing was no exception. He had been in the hospital for more than half a month. Although many things could be handled online, there were always some things that he had to be present at in person.
With the help of Jiang Yichen, Ji's decided to invest in Haoyang Technology's artificial intelligence project. Xiao Haoyuan, the boss of Haoyang Technology, came in person and brought four people with him. The moment Jiang Yichen saw Zhou Yang, he winked at Ji Yanxing and almost said: The love rival is here!
Ji Yanxing glanced at him indifferently, thinking disdainfully, can a dog who was rejected by her be considered a rival in love? Haoyang Technology's artificial intelligence project has a good development prospect, but it is just starting out, the capital flow is not enough, and large-scale financing is needed. Ji's company has also been transforming in recent years, and the artificial intelligence project can play a significant role.
Ji Yanxing was quite satisfied with the project, and he also thought highly of his boss Xiao Haoyuan. However, the way Zhou Yang looked at him calmly made him feel a little ridiculous.
With Ji's investment, research and development and production can proceed without worries. Xiao Haoyuan naturally didn't want anything to go wrong because of Zhou Yang, so he gave him a cold look.
After discussing the contract, they went out for dinner.
After getting in the car, Xiao Haoyuan sat in the back seat and said in a low and cold voice: "Mingzhe and I will go in later, you can find a place to stay."
He was still in a daze, but was pushed by Duan Mingzhe before he came to his senses. He immediately said, "No, I'll go too."
Duan Mingzhe adjusted his glasses and said with a half-smile, "You know Haoyuan's current situation. His father is guarding against him like a thief. It's not easy to get Ji's investment. The current situation is that we are begging them for money, and they don't need our project. If you keep this attitude and offend Ji Yanxing, you can find another investor who can come up with so much money at once."
Zhou Yang wanted to say something else, but thinking of how much Xiao Haoyuan paid to get rid of the shackles and constraints of the Xiao family, he restrained his temper a little, "I understand, can't I lower my posture later?"
The three of them had been friends since childhood. Duan Mingzhe spoke without restraint, stabbing him directly in the heart: "I didn't allow you to come in the first place, but you insisted on taking a look at Ji Yanxing in person. Now you see, it's obvious that Ji Yanxing is better than you in every aspect."
Zhou Yang's face darkened and he looked at him indifferently.
"It's no use glaring at me. Yu Nian is not blind. He would choose Ji Yanxing over you." Duan Mingzhe thought for a moment and said with a click of the tongue, "No, Ji Yanxing is inferior to you in one aspect."
Xiao Haoyuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. Zhou Yang was also stunned for a moment, "What?"
Duan Mingzhe: "As for love experience, he definitely doesn't have as many women as you do. After all, your brilliant record of having hundreds of ex-girlfriends is something that not everyone can compare to."
Xiao Haoyuan snorted lightly, closed his eyes and rested.
Zhou Yang tilted his head and looked out the car window.
He has been playing around in the world these years. When he pursued Yu Nian, he just wanted to flirt with her. Yu Nian saw his playful intentions and did not take his pursuit seriously. Until he fell deeper and deeper, she asked him doubtfully -
"You don't really like me, do you?"
After getting an affirmative answer, she immediately drew a line between them. In order to make him give up completely, Yu Nian told him that she had someone she liked, someone she loved only him, and someone she loved with the goal of marrying him.
When she talked about the person she liked, her eyes were full of girlish admiration. She said that the person she liked was very dazzling and good-looking, and perfectly met her standards for a partner, so she needed to work hard to become as good as him and then stand by his side.
Zhou Yang scoffed at this, thinking that she just had a filter because she liked him.
But until he met Ji Yanxing today, he had to admit it.
Zhou Ershao, who had been proud for so many years, felt inferior for the first time.
-
Zhou Yang still went to the dinner party in the evening.
As Duan Mingzhe said, Haoyang Technology was under the suppression of Xiao's father, with internal and external troubles, and it was not easy to get the investment from Ji Yanxing. Xiao Haoyuan is now out to discuss business. Compared with the unruly student days, he is more mature and stable. He does not hold his young master's airs. When it is time to lower his posture, he does not hesitate at all and takes the initiative to toast Ji Yanxing with a glass of wine.
"Mr. Ji, Haoyang Technology will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Xiao Haoyuan looks no worse than Ji Yanxing, but he is sharper while Ji Yanxing is gentler. When their eyes meet, they feel a sense of mutual respect between two strong men.
Ji Yanxing took his drink and smiled: "Of course I believe in Mr. Xiao."
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the dinner table became heated. Jiang Yichen mentioned: "I heard that Mr. Xiao also graduated from Shouda, an alumnus."
Xiao Haoyuan smiled faintly: "Yes, I am from the 11th class. Which class is Mr. Jiang from?"
"Boss Ji and I are both from the 11th class. As for the 14th class..." Jiang Yichen looked at Ji Yanxing thoughtfully, "I remember that my sister-in-law is from the 14th class?"
Ji Yanxing: "She is from the 13th class."
"I thought my sister-in-law and Mr. Xiao were from the same class." After a pause, Jiang Yichen raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Yanxing, "But your wife and Mr. Xiao both look like influential figures, maybe they know each other."
Xiao Haoyuan smiled and said, "Is it Senior Sister Yu Nianyu?"
Jiang Yichen was exaggeratedly shocked and said, "Yes, yes, you know each other?"
"We worked on a project together during our freshman year. Later, Senior Sister Yu went abroad to study and seemed to have a conflict with her family, so she made a deal with me," Xiao Haoyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, I still owe her a favor."
Jiang Yichen had not expected this.
He only knew that Yu Nian and Xiao Haoyuan knew each other, but he didn't expect that they had such a relationship.
"It's fate," Jiang Yichen said, watching the fun, "But Yu Nian should be quite famous in your school, right? There must be a lot of people chasing after her, right?"
The smile in Ji Yanxing's eyes faded a little, and he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Xiao Haoyuan lowered his eyes and smiled faintly: "It is true that many people pursued Senior Sister Yu, but her mind was full of studies. She did meet someone who confessed to her, but she rejected them all. I have never heard that she has a boyfriend."
Jiang Yichen clicked his tongue and said, "Sister-in-law is definitely a successful career man."
Jiang Yichen wanted to dig something more, but Ji Yanxing looked at him indifferently. He shrugged indifferently and finally stopped.
After a few more rounds of drinking, Ji Yanxing's glass was empty. Zhou Yang, who had been invisible, suddenly picked up the bottle and poured him a glass of wine.
"Mr. Ji, thank you for giving Haoyang Technology the opportunity. I toast to you." After saying that, Zhou Yang drank it all in one gulp.
