After a busy afternoon in the office, Xiao Zheng asked Old Lin to go home to eat hotpot. The weather was getting cold, so it was necessary to eat something hot. Especially when he was eating hotpot, Old Lin's fair and tender face would always blush beautifully when the hot pot was steamed. This was one of Xiao Zheng's recent bad habits.
He wouldn't be interested in that kind of blush in the short term, so Xiao Zheng had to use a roundabout way.
Just as he picked up the company's landline, before he could make the call. The phone on his desk started to buzz.
He looked at the caller ID, but it was an unknown number.
Usually, Xiao Zheng wouldn't pick it up. But it was almost the end of the year, and he didn't know who the other party was. To avoid missing an important number, he still picked it up.
"Hello." Xiao Zheng's deep voice sounded. He waited for the response.
"Hello Boss Xiao, I'm Xue Kaiyang." The man on the other side of the phone paused, then said gently. "We met at the Yan family."
"Oh, it's Young Master Xue. Nice to meet you." Xiao Zheng greeted him in surprise.
Why did he greet him?
Could it be that because of Bai Wushuang's slander, this fiancé was prejudiced against him? Was he trying to get back his reputation now?
If that was the case, Xiao Zheng didn't have time to waste with him. He still had to discuss the dinner menu with jESSICA.
Seeing that Xiao Zheng didn't want to talk about it in detail, Xue Kaiyang kept it short. He smiled and said, "It's like this. Yaoyao and I agreed to hold our wedding on the eighth of the new year. I wanted to invite you to dinner tonight. It's an early invitation. "
Dinner?
It seemed that Xiao Zheng really wanted it. Was he really here to show off?
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, then pursed his lips and said, "I'll definitely be there on the wedding day. There's no need for this dinner tonight. Thank you. "
Maybe it was because of his status, but Xiao Zheng didn't need to be so accommodating when talking to people. Especially when it was something that didn't go his way. There was no need to flatter him.
This was the privilege that came with power and wealth.
Old Lin had taught him to treat the world kindly, but he didn't need to spend too much effort to treat every single entity kindly. Even if he did, he would not be a saint, but a hypocrite.
Of course, being a hypocrite for a lifetime would also make one a true gentleman. However, it was difficult for such a person to achieve great things.
Which successful person did not have a lot of rumors and slanders behind their backs?
Xiao Zheng worked hard to make the people around him happy. He wasn't so selfless that he didn't think for himself.
"Boss Xiao, don't misunderstand …" Xue Kaiyang hurriedly explained. "This is Yaoyao's idea, I'm just helping her pass on the message. The place had already been booked. I hope Boss Xiao will do me the honor. Or else, I can't explain to Yaoyao. "
What does Shang Yao mean?
Was Xue Kaiyang setting up a Hongmen Banquet to show off?
If that was the case, Xiao Zheng had no reason to refuse. Be it public or private, he had some relations with Shang clan missy, and they were both shareholders of Giant Peak Network. It was just a meal. If he didn't go, he would be too heartless.
However, since they were already engaged, and the wedding date had been confirmed. It wasn't good to invite him for a meal at this time, right?
Wasn't she afraid that Xue Kaiyang would be jealous?
Xiao Zheng shook his head, pursing his lips: "Alright, I'll be there in a while."
After hanging up, Xiao Zheng rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
What did this woman want?
Such a quick engagement and wedding, who was she trying to impress?
Himself? Or Bai clan? Shang clan?
Speaking of which, Shang Yao's situation wasn't easy. Even marriage was a method to balance things out. She was living in a conspiracy from the inside out. It was a pity.
It wasn't that Xiao Zheng couldn't understand Shang Yao's intentions. But just like how he calmly rejected Zhang Lan's request, facing this intelligent and rational Shang clan missy. Xiao Zheng wasn't willing to develop any relationship other than cooperation.
His emotional world was already messy enough.
There was no need to drag another person down.
After sending a message to Old Lin, Xiao Zheng casually tidied up and instructed Little Peach to prepare a gift that could be considered a gesture of friendship. He drove to his destination.
The agreed location was a restaurant in a five-star hotel. The location was good, the environment was good, and the service was even better. The moment Xiao Zheng entered, two cheongsam ladies welcomed him. After asking about him, they personally led Xiao Zheng to a private room.
The moment he entered, a wave of heat hit him. The men and women in luxurious clothes stood up. Shang Yao was still calm. But Xue Kaiyang walked forward enthusiastically, holding Xiao Zheng's arm with both hands: "Apologies for not going out to welcome you, Boss Xiao, please don't take offense."
Xiao Zheng smiled: "Miss Shang and I are old friends. There is no need to be so particular. "
At least in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao were indeed long-term business partners. It was normal to have some connections.
On the contrary, Xue Kaiyang, before entering Shang Yao's social circle, he didn't have the chance to get to know top industry bigshots like Xiao Zheng. Now that he could have a private meal and talk, his social status increased.
After exchanging some pleasantries, the three of them sat down.
Shang Yao didn't speak much, the conversation was mainly about Xiao Zheng and Xue Kaiyang. But her beautiful eyes stayed on Xiao Zheng for a long time. Not to mention Xiao Zheng himself, even Xue Kaiyang could see it clearly.
But at this moment, Xue Kaiyang didn't say much.
There were some things that he couldn't say in public.
In private, he didn't dare to make it too obvious.
After all, this pair had a strong female and a weak male.
"Miss Shang, let me toast you." Xiao Zheng raised his wine glass, breaking the awkward situation.
Shang Yao nodded lightly: "Thank you."
After saying that, she drank it in one gulp.
After drinking the wine, Xiao Zheng took out his gift and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry, it's not anything expensive. It's just a token of my appreciation, I hope you two don't mind. "
"Boss Xiao is too polite." Xue Kaiyang smiled, rejected it a few times, and didn't insist anymore.
After chatting for a while, Xue Kaiyang suddenly received a call. He was about to reject it, but when he saw the caller ID, his face immediately became solemn. He stood up and said: "Boss Xiao, sorry, I have to go out to take a call."
"It's okay. Go. "Xiao Zheng nodded.
After Shang Yao left.
The atmosphere in the private room became even more strange.
Xiao Zheng ate and drank, while Shang Yao just sipped her tea slowly.
After a long time, Shang Yao slowly raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Zheng: "Boss Xiao, it seems you haven't wished me a happy wedding."
In fact.
Shang Yao had already registered her marriage with Xue Kaiyang.
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng said helplessly: "Miss Shang, why do you have to do this?"
"Why?"
Shang Yao's eyes became a little cold, and her voice slightly trembled: "If it wasn't because I like you. You would have found that I'm actually a very good woman. "
"I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
"Loving someone will indeed make one look disgusting."
