Going up from the first floor, the second floor is obviously much quieter.
Liu Xiaoyun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to come here with Yan Qing.
Old Qian was chatting with Yan's father in the front, and the remaining three people followed behind them.
"Miss Yan, long time no see. I didn't expect you to come today."
"I didn't expect you to come. Has there been any rift in your cooperation with Gu Mingche recently?"
Xie Liancheng knew what she meant, but he was not angry. However, he did not expect Yan Qing to be so straightforward.
"Thanks to you, our cooperation is going well now, but there have been some minor problems recently."
"Qingqing, come sit next to me. Liu Xiaoyun, you stay beside me."
Several people have already walked into the reception room, but you can't meet anyone in here just because you want to.
When they went in, the room was already full of people, almost all of whom were heads of wealthy families. Xie Liancheng was able to come here because his family did not come today.
"Old Yan, you unexpectedly brought so many people with you today. I thought you were going to live out your life alone!"
When Mr. Qian heard this, his expression immediately darkened and he looked at these unreasonable people.
"This is Old Yan's daughter. Is this how you set an example for your children?"
The person who was speaking was a straightforward person, and he didn't expect it to turn out like this, so he felt a little embarrassed.
"My dad usually dotes on me so much that I thought my domineering behavior had spread throughout the circle. My uncle's words mean that I can still be saved and I won't let my dad down again in the future."
After Yan Qing finished speaking, everyone around him laughed. They had all heard of it, but this was the first time they saw it.
"Qingqing is so old now, she will always have setbacks in love. I feel sorry for our old friend. I don't know how much pain he must be in his heart."
Looking at it this way, the people around seemed quite friendly, but there were also many people who didn't speak at all, and no one paid any attention to Xie Liancheng.
"Okay, stop standing here and sit down."
"Old Yan, are you bringing your future son-in-law with you? Do you need us to test him?"
At this time, Yan's father also introduced Liu Xiaoyun. As for Xie Liancheng, he just looked at Mr. Qian who had been watching the show on the side.
"This is the kid from the Xie family. Old Xie is on his honeymoon today and can't come. Let's be considerate of that stubborn old guy, otherwise we might not see him for several more times."
"So he's the old-fashioned son. He's quite a handsome man. Just looking at him, I can tell he's not of the same temperament as him."
This was also Xie Liancheng's first time here, and he didn't expect that his impression of his father would be so different here.
"My dad asked me to come and say hello to all the uncles. He said he would give you all gifts when he comes back."
"Old Yan, what's wrong with you recently? Do you need our help?"
Mr. Qian did not answer Xie Liancheng's words, but was a little worried about his old friend.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that there's been some unrealistic news appearing online lately, which has indeed affected the company."
When Mr. Qian talked about this, it attracted a lot of people's attention, and they were also very curious.
However, it is not certain how many of them are sincere.
Yan Qing felt a little sarcastic as he looked at his father who was suddenly being cared for.
I didn’t seem to see anyone really caring about me in the past few days, but now that they come here, everyone acts like they are good friends of the family.
"Online news can be true or false, and sometimes it needs to be properly clarified, otherwise it will really have an impact. I've seen your stock drop several percentage points in the past few days!"
"Old Yan, you have to be careful. If a new company really bankrupts you, all your life's hard work will be wasted."
Father Yan understood what they were thinking, but he didn't need other people's charity.
"Of course there's no problem. If there really was something wrong, I would have definitely contacted you."
"That's not necessarily true. You're more stubborn than Old Xie."
The people around me are all old-fashioned, and after all these years I still can't understand what these people around me are thinking.
"We knew you had a way. You've weathered all the storms, so how could you fall at the hands of a junior?"
A few of them who didn't talk much looked at each other. The smile in their eyes was probably only understood by themselves. Father Yan didn't say anything to them, as if he knew, but also seemed not to know.
Yan Qing saw all of this and acted quietly like a little girl.
"Are you Yan Qing? I didn't expect you to look much better in person than on the news. Why did you come in with Xie Liancheng? Aren't you still fighting with Gu Mingche?"
The sudden voice coming from behind startled Yan Qing.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, Miss Ruan!"
Yan Qing looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise. She had no impression of her in her memory.
However, Xie Liancheng seemed to know her and walked up to her and greeted her familiarly.
"Hello, nice to meet you."
Although Yan Qing didn't know this Miss Ruan, she always seemed familiar to him.
"You are Liu Xiaoyun, right? What is your relationship with Yan Qing? Why did she bring you here? Are you her boyfriend?"
Seeing Miss Ruan digging deep into the matter, Yan Qing finally understood where that hint of familiarity came from.
"Ms. Ruan, you look a lot like someone I know. Liu Xiaoyun isn't my lover, nor is she in some messed-up relationship like you think. She's just an artist in my company. If you hang out online often, I think you should be aware of our family's current situation. We're here to discuss work."
After saying that, Yan Qing didn't care what the people around him thought, and took Liu Xiaoyun to sit next to Yan's father.
They weren't the only youngsters here. The lounge on the other side was filled with people about their age, but many of them were not their children.
"Xiao Yun, long time no see, would you like to sit here for a while?"
Someone saw Yan Qing about to take Liu Xiaoyun away, nudged the people around him, and then someone came forward to talk to Liu Xiaoyun.
Yan Qing wanted to stop them, but the adults beside them were very happy to see how harmoniously they got along.
"The kids are grown up now and don't want to spend time with us old guys. Let them go and play!"
This was considered as a tacit agreement to let Liu Xiaoyun go, and Yan Qing couldn't stop it.
"Qingqing, go over and make some new friends."
When Yan Qing sat down, Xie Liancheng happened to sit next to her.
"This is my first time here. Uncle Yan is so kind to you, he must bring you here often."
Xie Liancheng didn't think there was anything wrong, and even seemed to be making small talk.
“It’s my first time here too.”
In fact, Yan Qing didn't want to have anything to do with Xie Liancheng, but no matter how she avoided these protagonists, in the end they would meet again for various reasons.
"Are you trying to comfort me?"
"The relationship between the two of us hasn't gotten this good yet!"
