Just then, Gu Xiaoxue came out of the teaching building and saw Ye Yifan. She was very happy and said, "Brother Fan, I thought you weren't coming."
Ye Yifan covered his mouth with his left fist, coughed lightly, and then said to Gu Xiaoxue, "I'm working in the city now, which is so close by. Can't I ask you to have dinner with me when I'm free?"
Gu Xiaoxue nodded repeatedly: "I couldn't be happier. It's early today, let's go a bit further and have a good meal."
Guan Rui hadn't had a chance to speak. He looked at Ye Yifan and couldn't deny that the man was really handsome. Moreover, the way he walked over gave off a sense of pressure, making him feel like a child next to them. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Ye Yifan said to Gu Xiaoxue, "Okay, let's go to Changyuan Hotel then." After saying that, he said to Guan Rui, "Hey classmate, want to grab a bite to eat together?"
He wanted to see if this boy had the guts and was a worthy opponent.
Guan Rui paused for a moment, then said, "No need, thank you." He then said to Gu Xiaoxue, "Director Gu, you're busy, I'll be going now." He nodded to Hua Kai one last time, then hurriedly left.
He walked faster and faster, almost as if he were running away. He did like Huakai. He was popular with girls at school, so he was confident that there was a possibility of developing a relationship with Huakai.
But the moment this man appeared, his confidence vanished. He had previously thought that Hua Kai was more mature than him, and he thought that he could win Hua Kai's heart with his talent and time. But now he was panicking.
Hua Kai watched Guan Rui leave, feeling that the atmosphere just now was a bit strange.
Gu Xiaoxue said to Huakai, "Huakai, you should keep your distance from boys at school and focus on your studies."
Hua Kai nodded: "I understand, Director Gu. Don't worry, I don't have those kinds of thoughts. I'm too busy with important matters to handle, and I have a lot of other things to worry about. I really don't care about a kid like Guan Rui. Captain Ye should know me better than anyone else about that." As she spoke, she looked at Ye Yifan.
Ye Yifan's face flushed slightly: "That's true. Hua Kai is someone who does great things, otherwise I wouldn't trust her so much."
Hua Kai sighed and said to Ye Yifan, "But I didn't manage to accomplish anything important today. I ran into some trouble, and I just couldn't figure it out. I was thinking of calling you, and we can talk over dinner later."
When Ye Yifan heard that Hua Kai had encountered trouble, he felt a surge of excitement. No matter what it was, he had to solve it for her.
He said to the flowers, "Okay, let's go eat."
The three of them talked as they left the campus. Ye Yifan parked his car on the side of the road, got in, and went straight to Changyuan Hotel.
After entering the restaurant, they requested a private room, ordered food, and then Gu Xiaoxue went to the restroom.
Ye Yifan sat down beside the flowers and asked with a hint of curiosity, "I really can't think of anything that could be troubling you."
Hua Kai sighed and took out the sofa drawings she had made, handing them to Ye Yifan: "My design is absolutely the most innovative right now. To be honest, I'm actually reluctant to use my skills to invest in those small sofa factories, but I really don't have the financial means right now. So I went to talk to a sofa factory at noon, but they could only offer me 10% of the shares. My designs are continuous, and if managed well, they could make a factory grow ten times faster than normal. But they don't have that foresight."
At this point, Hua Kai sighed again, took a sip of tea, and said, "If it's only 10% or 20%, then I don't need to cooperate with anyone. I can just save up enough money and start my own business. But you know, I'm an interior designer now, and I really want these beautiful pieces of furniture. Ugh, do you understand? It's like I'm stuck in a dead end, and my head is spinning."
Ye Yifan naturally understood. He looked at the blooming flowers and said, "It seems you can owe me even more favors now."
Hua Kai tilted her head in confusion and looked at Ye Yifan: "Do you have a way to get the factory manager to back down?"
She was indeed curious, because this matter couldn't be easily settled. Did Ye Yifan have powerful connections that could make any factory manager compromise?
Thinking of this, she quickly added, "Captain Ye, although we know I guarantee you'll make money, we live in a society governed by law, and we can't do anything illegal."
Ye Yifan laughed upon hearing this: "Is that how you see me?"
Hua Kai shook her head, a little embarrassed, and said, "No, it's not that. I just couldn't guess your method. After all, the factory we're talking about today is so different from what I expected. It's really hard to achieve what I want through normal means."
"Alright, just leave it alone. Just wait for the news tomorrow," Ye Yifan said confidently.
Although Hua Kai didn't know what Ye Yifan was planning, she believed that he would not let her down.
While they were talking, Gu Xiaoxue returned and said that the restaurant's ingredients were fresh. She saw that there were freshly arrived river shrimp and ordered fried river shrimp.
When it comes to food, Hua Kai, a foodie, has a lot of insights to share with Gu Xiaoxue.
Ye Yifan watched Hua Kai, who was talking animatedly about food, and unconsciously smiled. This little girl looks mature when she talks about serious matters, but when she talks about food, she's still a child.
After finishing their meal, the three of them walked out together. However, Ye Yifan and Hua Kai were talking about the sofa factory behind them, so Gu Xiaoxue walked a little ahead of them.
Just as they stepped out of the restaurant, Gu Xiaoxue suddenly stopped. Hua Kai, not paying attention, almost bumped into him, but fortunately Ye Yifan reacted quickly and caught Hua Kai's shoulder.
"Gu Xiaoxue? I never expected to run into you here." A young woman's voice came from the other side.
Ye Yifan didn't say anything, released his hand from Hua Kai's shoulder, and pressed it directly on his temple.
Hua Kai looked at Ye Yifan's expression and knew that this woman and Gu Xiaoxue had a story, but she didn't know the details. She didn't say anything, moved closer to Ye Yifan, and looked across at the other side.
A woman with wavy hair, bright pink lipstick, and eye-catching gold earrings stood arm in arm opposite Gu Xiaoxue, looking at her, and a man in a suit who was of average appearance and height.
Gu Xiaoxue's expression was complicated, and her face changed several times before she finally spoke: "Qiao Man, what a coincidence."
The woman named Qiao Man also noticed Ye Yifan and Hua Kai behind Gu Xiaoxue at this moment. She knew Ye Yifan. She had met Ye Yifan through Gu Xiaoxue. She had tried to seduce him several times, but Ye Yifan never gave her a chance. Of course, Gu Xiaoxue didn't know any of this. Later, she met a businessman who had returned from Taiwan and dumped Gu Xiaoxue. However, her relationship with that businessman didn't last long either.
Looking at Ye Yifan, whom she had seduced before, standing next to a beautiful girl, she couldn't deny the girl's beauty. She was undeniably beautiful, without any adornment, simply and cleanly beautiful. As someone who prided herself on her appearance, she was jealous.
