There was still a smile on Kevin's face, but this smile was more playful than the various exaggerated jokes just now.
Ling Han, who had always been calm and collected, was slightly stunned when he noticed the strangeness in his expression. A trace of impatience appeared in his eyes. "Kevin, this is boring."
"I've never seen you care so much about a woman."
At the other end of the screen was Kevin's big white teeth, and there was a rare seriousness in his smile.
"You didn't even look at our arrogant Peacock Princess in school, let alone ask me if I'm serious about any woman. Leon, you're serious this time."
A strange look flashed across Ling Han's face, and he avoided Kevin's gaze. "It's just a woman. There are so many women in the world, and no one has to be anyone."
"So you mean I can pursue her?"
"No."
These two words were blurted out by Ling Han without even thinking about it. He reflexively glared at the man at the other end of the screen.
"Oh, okay …" Kevin shrugged and shook the screen twice.
"I knew you had this attitude. Otherwise, I would have pestered you for a whole month, but you wouldn't let me see her alone. When I realized that you were overly protective of your sister, I knew that you didn't see her as a sister at all."
Ling Han frowned, as if he wanted to refute something.
"Leon, don't lie to yourself and others. You can only understand this kind of thing after you've lost someone."
"Kevin, I …"
"Okay, I'm going on a date with my Gorilla Princess. Let's stop here for now. I see that you're in a good mood recently. I hope that next time you can introduce her to me personally as your girlfriend …"
Kevin grinned and smiled dazzlingly. "Remember, it's not that I failed in my pursuit. I gave it to you because you're my good brother. If you hadn't fallen in love with her long ago, I definitely wouldn't have let go of such a good opportunity. Next time, if there's no progress, I'll take the initiative to attack. Don't regret it then."
Although he knew that Kevin was joking, Ling Han's heart still inexplicably tightened.
The video interface on the computer flashed twice and returned to the blue interface of the main screen.
Ling Han frowned for no reason. He looked up at the door of the president's office, as if he could see the busy figure in the secretary's office through the door.
In the afternoon, there was still half an hour before it was time to get off work. Ji Xiaoyue had just returned from the planning department with a bunch of food and drinks. It was obvious that she had heard a lot of good words.
"Here, these are for you." Ji Xiaoyue piled most of the things in her hands on Ye Huanyan's desk and giggled. "Come with me to the planning department after work."
Ye Huanyan was busy checking the data and didn't even look up. "Did Manager Wu from the Planning Department ask you out for a meal again?"
"What do you mean by asking me out for a meal? I'm asking the secretary to come with me."
"You go ahead. I still have things to do after work."
"What things? What big things can you have? You still have to eat, right?"
Ji Xiaoyue grabbed her wrist and refused to let go. Ye Huanyan couldn't focus on her work and had to look up at her. "Stop fooling around. I have to finish this work quickly so that I can leave without working overtime today. I have to buy a new phone."
The last time she dropped her phone at the entrance of the company, she didn't have time to buy a new one. She was still using an old one. It wasn't very comfortable in her hands and she missed several calls from clients.
"It's just a new phone. Can't you buy it anytime? Come with me for a meal first, okay? I'll go with you to buy a new phone after dinner."
Ye Huanyan frowned. "I don't drink."
"Who said anything about drinking?" Seeing that Ye Huanyan had relented, Ji Xiaoyue immediately showed a happy expression. "I don't want you to drink. If someone asks you to drink, I'll drink all of them. Okay?"
"I have to go home before 10 pm."
"Okay, okay, okay. No problem."
Ji Xiaoyue looked as if everything was negotiable.
However, based on her past behavior, Ye Huanyan had a headache. She always agreed well at the beginning, but when it came to real situations, she couldn't control herself.
Before leaving work, Ye Huanyan knocked on the door of the CEO's office.
"Come in."
Ling Han's tone had a hint of authority.
Ye Huanyan closed the door and stood a little far away from Ling Han's seat.
"The planning department is having a dinner gathering. I might be going back a little later tonight."
She didn't want to repeat the same mistake. It was better to inform Ling Han about this kind of evening gathering in advance to prevent the same thing from happening again.
Ling Han seemed to be thinking about something. When he saw her come in, he looked absent-minded. When he heard what she said, he seemed to be stunned for a moment and frowned. "What does the planning department's dinner gathering have to do with you?"
"Manager Xiao Wu from the planning department has a good relationship with Xiao Yue. Their department has always cooperated well with the Secretary's Office, so it was their manager's idea to invite us to the dinner gathering."
When the department managers decided to have a private gathering, they didn't need to ask Ling Han for permission. Moreover, this seemed to be a private gathering of the planning department, and it was going to be held after work. All the more, they didn't need to ask Ling Han for permission.
When he heard Ji Xiaoyue's name, Ling Han's expression relaxed slightly.
He said indifferently, "This is your own matter. You don't need to ask me for permission."
Ye Huanyan was slightly stunned. Her face showed some disbelief.
Ling Han had always been domineering and liked to interfere in everything. When she heard him say that it had nothing to do with her, she felt like she was in a dream. Thinking about how he had been so polite and distant to her these days, she felt a little disappointed.
When she came out of the CEO's office, Ye Huanyan looked like she had lost her soul. Ji Xiaoyue had already packed her bag. She carried Ye Huanyan's bag and locked the door of the secretary's office. She carefully leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Did you agree?"
Ye Huanyan was stunned for a few seconds before nodding.
He said that it had nothing to do with him, so it couldn't be considered as agreeing or not agreeing. It could only be said that he didn't care.
Ji Xiaoyue didn't know what was going on inside. She thought that Ye Huanyan's sullen expression was because she had been mocked by Ling Han again. She couldn't help but feel a little angry. "What the hell is he? He doesn't even have his freedom anymore. Let's just ignore him, Yan Yan."
Ye Huanyan was stunned for a moment. She looked at Ji Xiaoyue and forced a smile. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go. We have to leave early. Otherwise, we won't be able to squeeze into the subway during rush hour."
When she said this, Ji Xiaoyue revealed a meaningful expression.
"Squeeze into the subway? Don't joke around. The planning department is treating us to a meal. There are four departments in the planning department and eight managers. Which one of them doesn't have an annual salary of a few million? If they don't even have a car, how are they going to treat the ladies to a meal? "
"Ladies?" Ye Huanyan's expression tensed up. "There are other departments? Isn't this a gathering for the planning department? "
Ji Xiaoyue chuckled. "Yes, the planning department planned this. It's for the welfare of the golden bachelors in the company's planning department. We're the guests of honor …"
