Chapter 292 Even King Ye Yan Gets Love-Struck
One after another, iron birds took off and landed, their booming sounds echoing in the air.
As the announcement of flight numbers was made, tourists poured out of the exit like sardines.
Jing Zeyang chewed his gum and glanced at his watch: "Why aren't they here yet?"
"Isn't it normal for flights to be delayed?"
After replying, Jing Suxin gave him a detailed instruction, "Zeyang, be polite when you meet people later. Don't be so frivolous or cocky. Also, do what they tell you to do. Ask fewer questions, look less, and inquire less."
"Hey, I just find this really strange..."
He had just let out a strange cry when he received a slap on the back of the head. Jing Zeyang covered his head and asked, "Sister Ruozhi, why did you hit me?"
"Your sister spoils you, but I won't." Qin Ruozhi glared at him. "You do whatever your cousin Lin tells you to do. If you mess things up, you'll be in big trouble..."
Jing Zeyang looked aggrieved: What the hell did I do to deserve this?
I was working a normal job when my cousin suddenly asked me for a long leave of absence, saying she was going to be a tour guide.
Jing Zeyang grew up in a prestigious family compound. He might not be able to act with impunity in Beijing, but once he left, everyone would call him Brother Jing and give him some face.
Today, I've been reduced to serving others; if word gets out, my friends will laugh their heads off.
Looking at his cowardly yet arrogant appearance, it was easy to tell what he was thinking. Qin Ruozhi chuckled and said, "He's Uncle Wang's student, so don't worry, you won't work for nothing. You'll get your share of the benefits."
Uncle Wang?
Jing Zeyang scoffed, "Uncle Wang is a professor at a university now, with tons of students!"
Jing Suxin reminded her again, "Cousin Lin is still Anning's friend!"
Jing Zeyang was stunned for a moment: Ye Yanwang?
But something seems off?
Wang Sanshu's student must know Sister Anning, so there's no need for my cousin to emphasize it.
Furthermore, Uncle Wang has so many friends in the capital; if he wanted to make arrangements, it would be impossible for Qin Ruozhi and Jing Suxin to pick them up.
So, it must have been Ye Anning who asked them to do it...
Suddenly, Jing Zeyang's eyes darted around: "A man?"
"Nonsense, is your cousin a girl?" Qin Ruozhi scoffed. "If she were a girl, the two of us would have taken care of her ourselves. Why would it be your turn?"
How big?
"Just graduated, almost twenty-two!"
Ye Yanwang and my cousin are the same age, almost twenty-five.
Tsk, are they three years apart?
Jing Zeyang looked surprised: "Are you dating Anning?"
The two girls looked at each other but didn't say anything.
Ye Anning definitely meant it, but as for Lin Sicheng, it's not clear yet.
It's not that he's unwilling, but he's so busy he's practically living on air. Forget about dates, it feels like he's even timing his meals with a stopwatch.
Without any preparation, he can't just suddenly catch Ye Anning and say, "Anning, I like you?"
Seeing their expressions, Jing Zeyang immediately understood: "Tsk, Sister Anning is something else, isn't she? An old cow eating young grass..."
He had barely uttered half a sentence when he received another slap on the head.
This time, Jing Zeyang didn't seem aggrieved; instead, he looked on with a gossipy expression: "What's so strange about that?"
Coveting the Ye family's social standing, they fantasized about marrying Princess Ye and tried every means to curry favor with her; the line could stretch from Tiananmen Square to the Fifth Ring Road.
But which one didn't end up getting a cold shoulder?
So, how capable must this kid be to make a thousand-year-old iron tree bloom and a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg melt?
He became increasingly curious: "Where is this person from? What does his family do? Are they also in a ministry?"
Qin Ruozhi said casually, "Just a native of Xijing!"
It was estimated that Lin Sicheng would be staying in Beijing for quite a while this time, and they would see each other frequently, so there was nothing to hide. Jing Suxin told the truth: "Lin's grandfather is a university professor, his father works in a government department, and his mother is a teacher!"
"Is his father at the provincial level?"
"What provincial government? Just a section-level cadre in the district, from an ordinary family."
Jing Zeyang was completely dumbfounded: Holy crap, is this guy's ancestral graves emitting smoke?
How skilled and handsome must this guy be to win over Ye Anning?
Even if he was a kept man, it was enough to earn Jing Zeyang's respect.
If you don't believe me, go ask around. Which of the wealthy families in Beijing doesn't want to live off the Ye family?
The more surprised Jing Zeyang was, the faster his eyes darted around: Dude, that's amazing?
I must pay my respects...
Thinking he was up to something, Qin Ruozhi pointed at him and said, "Keep your mouth shut and stop with your crooked ways. If you dare to ruin Anning's plans, we'll skin you alive."
Jing Zeyang pouted: "Sister Ruozhi, am I out of my mind?"
He could imagine how many people would try to trip up or even cause trouble for his cousin Lin if the news that Ye Anning had a boyfriend got out.
Set up a trap, get some drinks poured in, maybe drug it, find a couple of girls, and install a camera... this whole thing is bound to fall apart.
Therefore, you must find a trustworthy person to remind you when necessary and protect you in critical moments.
After a moment's thought, Jing Zeyang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll protect Cousin Lin perfectly!"
He must be someone capable, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to win over Princess Ye. But no matter how Jing Zeyang thought about it, he felt that this matter was too bizarre.
Who is Ye Anning? He's a living Yama, he can guess what kind of bad things you're up to just by glancing at you.
Regardless of gender, who among this group who grew up together is not afraid of her?
If a comparison had to be made, Jing Zeyang felt that while the clay sculptures in the temple had developed worldly desires, Ye Anning would never have fallen for a romantic infatuation.
While surprised, one can't help but think in a crooked way: Could it be that this cousin Lin is exceptionally gifted?
Seeing his eyes darting around, Qin Ruozhi sneered, "Lin Sicheng is a decent person, you'd better behave yourself. If An Ning finds out you're teaching him bad things, you're as good as dead!"
Jing Zeyang didn't take it seriously: Could a decent person catch up with Ye Anning?
Maybe they know more than I do...
After a few more casual remarks, the announcement came over the loudspeaker: "Dear passengers, flight XXXX, which departed from Xi'an, is about to land..."
Jing Zeyang perked up: "Here we come!"
As they were talking, the three of them got out of the car.
After waiting a little while, the tourists filed out. Lin Sicheng followed behind, chatting with Wu Hui as they walked.
Fang Jin and Wu Hui's secretary followed behind them.
As soon as they reached the exit, Qin Ruozhi waved and called out, "Cousin Lin!"
Assuming he was someone arranged by Wang Qizhi, Wu Hui instructed him, "Take a rest today. Let Lao Ma arrange for us to have a meal together tomorrow. You can officially report for duty the day after tomorrow..."
Lin Sicheng nodded: "Okay!"
Then, the two sides parted ways. Once outside the passage, Lin Sicheng greeted them with a smile, "Sister Ruozhi, Sister Suxin, thank you for your help!"
"No trouble at all!" The two quickly waved their hands, and Jing Suxin then pointed to Jing Zeyang, "This is my cousin Jing Zeyang, he's a year older than you, you can just call him by his name. He's on a long vacation right now, so he can be your guide during this time. He has a car, so just call Zeyang anytime you want to go..."
"Sister Suxin, you really don't need to..."
"We must use it!" Qin Ruozhi interrupted before he could finish speaking, "Otherwise, Anning won't feel at ease, and neither will we!"
Lin Sicheng paused for a moment.
Lin Sicheng could tell at a glance that this person was also a member of a privileged family.
Such a person would certainly not be a guide or driver. Presumably, Ye Anning was afraid something might happen to him.
I don't know what price was paid, but Lin Sicheng genuinely felt it wasn't necessary.
After a moment's thought, he extended his hand and smiled, "Hello, Brother Jing, my surname is Lin, Lin Sicheng!"
Jing Zeyang grasped it and examined it a few more times.
She is indeed quite striking in appearance, at least more upright, more energetic, and more handsome than him.
He was also a bit taller than him, neither fat nor thin, with handsome features and a bright look in his eyes.
His personality is still unknown, but he is neither arrogant nor humble, neither conceited nor boastful.
But strangely, there was a certain air about him: only a true scion of a noble family could have that kind of air.
It's not about background, but about temperament.
He's a carefree playboy all day long, so he definitely doesn't count. My cousin and Qin Ruozhi are barely related.
Ye Anning certainly counts, but including her, there are only a handful of such women in the entire capital.
So, it's strange?
Just as she was pondering this, a few ringing sounds came from her bag, and Jing Suxin took out her phone: "Anning!"
"Yes, the plane is delayed. My cousin Lin just came out of the gate, so his phone is probably still off."
"Zeyang is here too. I've already given instructions. You don't need to thank me, and you certainly don't need to give me any benefits... Okay, I'll pass on the message to him now!"
After exchanging a few words, Jing Suxin handed over the phone: "It's Anning!"
Lin Sicheng took it: "Cousin Ye...ye, she just got off at the airport!"
"Yes, we'll be together right now... but it's really not necessary. I live in the Expo Building and don't usually need a car. Besides, Dean Ma has already made arrangements..."
"Ah, go out occasionally? I don't have time to go out... Hmm, okay, if I really have to go out, I'll definitely call Brother Jing."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Anning, thank you for your trouble..."
After exchanging only a few words, Lin Sicheng handed the phone back. Qin Ruozhi and Jing Suzhi were busy helping Jing Zeyang pack his luggage, but Lin Sicheng quickly said it wasn't necessary and, along with Fang Jin, loaded the luggage into the trunk.
I got into the van, started the engine, and drove onto the road.
The more Jing Zeyang thought about it, the more something seemed off.
If they are boyfriend and girlfriend, shouldn't they address each other in a more intimate way, like calling each other "Anning" or something similar?
Although his tone was friendly, I always felt that this cousin Lin was too polite and overly courteous.
It's not that lovers can't say thank you, but it's definitely not in this way.
The more Jing Zeyang thought about it, the stranger it seemed. He glanced at the mirror.
Lin Sicheng had just turned on his phone and was making calls one by one: "Yes, teacher, I just got off the plane. Sister Ruozhi, Sister Suxin, and Brother Jing picked me up... Teacher, you don't need to arrange a driver... Ah, you sent me the number? Okay, I'll call if needed. Thank you for your help, teacher..."
"Master's wife, I'm sorry, I didn't know you needed to bring anything... Because we were in a hurry, we took a plane directly from Taiyuan... Oh well, thank you, Master's wife!"
Jing Zeyang listened for a while, and the more he listened, the stranger it seemed.
Judging from his tone, he was probably on the phone with Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang. He could also tell that the two of them were genuinely concerned about the student.
But the problem is, he didn't feel that his cousin Lin's tone and attitude when talking to these two people were any different from when he talked to Ye Anning.
Just as he was wondering, Jing Suxin kicked the back of his seat, and Jing Zeyang regained his composure and focused on driving.
It took about an hour for the car to reach the destination.
Jing Zeyang tilted his head and glanced through the car window: Wenbo Building?
“Cousin Lin, I work at the Ministry of Culture.” Jing Zeyang looked surprised. “But not here, at the opera troupe.”
Lin Sicheng nodded: "It is indeed quite a coincidence!"
Jing Zeyang gave another thumbs up: "Pretty impressive!"
He praised him verbally, but in his heart he was thinking: This cousin Lin must have been sent here by the school to study.
He didn't even need to guess: it was either arranged by Uncle Wang or Ye Anning who begged Aunt Wang to arrange it. Otherwise, how could a recent college graduate like him have the qualifications to come to a ministry for training?
Vice President Ma was not present, but a special reception was arranged. The director of the Tao Research Institute and the director of the institute's office were waiting at the door, and the two of them also brought their secretaries.
As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, the two secretaries quickly helped carry the luggage.
The two leaders shook hands with Lin Sicheng, their expressions warm and joyful.
They were quite far away, so he couldn't hear what they were saying. Jing Zeyang assumed that the two were only being so friendly because of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang.
The reason is simple: Aunt Wang's surname is Shan.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lin Sicheng turned around and said goodbye to the three people in the car, saying that he would treat them to dinner that evening.
Ye Anning explained that Lin Sicheng had many things to do in Beijing this time, and Qin Ruozhi and Jing Suxin had personally witnessed how busy Lin Sicheng was at the last auction, so she declined.
They exchanged phone numbers and agreed to go out together again when Lin Sicheng was less busy.
Jing Zeyang also instructed that if Lin Sicheng went out, he must be told to call him.
Lin Sicheng nodded with a smile.
The two sides parted ways; Lin Sicheng went into the building, and the three siblings got into a van.
As he started the car, Jing Zeyang glanced at Lin Sicheng's back through the window. Then, his eyes started darting around: "Sis, why do I feel like this cousin Lin doesn't seem like he's dating Sister Anning?"
What do you know?
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
Two angry shouts rang out from the left and right, and Jing Zeyang's heart skipped a beat.
But he wasn't afraid; he was horrified: Haha... The sky has fallen?
Jing Zeyang was just making a casual bluff, but he didn't expect to be fooled so easily.
But if this gets out, who the hell would believe it?
Startled and bewildered, Jing Zeyang's eyes welled up with tears.
My cousin has clearly known Lin Sicheng for a long time, but this is the first time I've ever heard the name.
He had initially thought that the reason they hadn't announced it was because they were afraid someone would cause trouble for his cousin Lin. Turns out, it was only the first stroke of the character's name?
That's why Ye Anning was even more worried: there are so many ambitious young masters in the capital, a few threats and this cousin Lin would probably wet his pants.
He's talking about dating? He wouldn't even dare to talk about anything!
He turned his head blankly, his face full of a look of disbelief: "No... what is Sister Anning after?"
Qin Ruozhi was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed: "Jing Zeyang, do you want to die?"
Jing Suxin also realized what was happening: "Drive your car!"
With two angry shouts, there were two more "smacks": one on the left and one on the right, slapping him on the head simultaneously.
But Jing Zeyang seemed to have lost his sense of pain from the shock: Oh my god?
Does Ye Yanwang also have a submissive brain?
