Chapter 270: I love making friends.
Yan Ge put down her pipe, picked up the pastry that Ye Fei handed her, which looked very appealing, and suddenly smiled at Ye Fei: "Little girl, don't think you can distract yourself with a pastry."
Ye Fei smiled and said, "So what would you like to ask, sister? I'll answer whatever I can."
The girl asked directly, without any beating around the bush. Yan Ge quite liked her temperament and nodded: "I, Yan Ge, have been the manager of Jubao Tower for many years, and I have never seen anyone who can open four inlaid gems at the same time. Why don't you tell me, what method did you use to pick out the gemstone hidden in the pile of rough stones?"
Ye Fei sighed inwardly. Sure enough, being too provocative easily arouses suspicion.
Not only Yan Ge, but Song Yu also looked at her with a hint of curiosity.
In front of these two great figures, Ye Fei naturally couldn't reveal Qing Li's identity. With a calm expression, she began to make up a story: "Actually, it's because I have a master who likes to open stones. She revealed some tips about opening stones to me."
Song Yu raised an eyebrow: "Your master... Lord Dongfang likes to cut stones?"
Ye Fei nodded sincerely: "Yes."
"Master Song, do you perhaps know this girl's master?" Yan Ge was somewhat surprised by Song Yu's reaction.
Song Yu coughed lightly: "Well... I have never met Her Excellency Dongfang, but I have had some cooperation with her."
Yan Ge then turned to Ye Fei and gave her a very kind smile: "Little girl, can you tell your big sister what the little trick is?"
“I don’t tell strangers, unless…” The girl abruptly stopped herself in suspense.
Yan Ge was a shrewd businesswoman, so how could she not understand the meaning behind her words: "What benefits do you want?"
Ye Fei picked up a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. She leaned back lazily in her chair and squinted her eyes. "As a junior, I am quite self-aware. Naturally, I will not ask you for any benefits. I just want to be your friend."
After saying that, she thought for a moment and then innocently added, "I love making friends the most—what about you, sister?"
Yan Ge stared at the smiling girl in front of her. For a moment, she almost mistook the person facing her for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, but a fox even more cunning than herself.
Xie Qingui and Yun Fusang silently drank tea and ate snacks. They looked at each other at the same time and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Become friends with the head manager of Jubaolou...?!
Yan Ge is, after all, a powerful business queen in Dan Yan City of Xing Luo Kingdom. Xiao Fei is probably the first person to dare to speak to her like that...
As expected of their captain, he is incredibly brave and resourceful, truly unmatched!
Li Yuan glanced at Ye Fei, who was smiling radiantly, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his dark eyes.
She is not arrogant because of her favor, nor does she try to climb the social ladder. She is indeed the girl he has chosen. She is very good.
Yan Ge was silent for a moment before bursting into a smile: "Sure, I'd love to be friends with a little fox like you."
"...Cough cough!" Ye Fei almost choked on the tea in her mouth.
Little fox?
Is this an insult directed at her?!
"Alright, I agree to be your friend, now you can tell me." Yan Ge immediately leaned close to her ear, "Don't worry, only I will hear it, and I won't tell anyone else."
Ye Fei lowered her voice and said a few words to Yan Ge, who became more and more surprised as she listened.
Finally, she exclaimed in sudden realization, "So that's the trick! I understand now, I'll try it myself next time!"
