Their eyes met, and they could see the probing and sizing in each other's eyes.
There were two people at the door, but Ye Zhen could tell at a glance which one was today's protagonist, Mayor Li. The main thing was that the man's aura was completely different from the other man's.
Is this the new Mayor Li? Ye Zhen looked at the other party and felt a vague sense of familiarity. However, most of them were sneers.
He was handsome and had a high position of power. The mayor of Qingcheng. In the future, the number of predecessors is limitless. Did she, Ye Ninghan, deserve such a man?
Li Junsheng didn't expect to see a little girl before he entered. Uh. It was not entirely accurate to say that she was a little girl.
The other party was wearing a decent suit, and his hair just reached his shoulders. He looked very neat and tidy. However, the way she looked at him seemed a little strange.
For some reason, Li Junsheng felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at her.
The two of them stared at each other. Ye Nanshan was anxious.
He quickly stood up and walked in front of Li Junsheng and Huo Jinyao. Chen Wan and Ye Ninghan followed him and went to Li Junsheng together.
When she was about to reach Li Junsheng, Ye Ninghan didn't forget to squeeze Ye Zhen to the side without a trace.
"Mayor Li, you are here? Please come in. "
"Mayor Li." Secretary Chen introduced him to Li Junsheng. "This is the chairman of the Jiangi Group. He's also Old Master Lu's son-in-law, Chairman Ye Nanshan. "
"Hello. Li Junsheng shook hands with Ye Nanshan.
As soon as he arrived at Qingcheng, he went to visit Lu Manjiang. It was not because of how powerful the Lu Family was. In terms of power, any aristocratic family in Rong City was powerful.
The reason why he gave birth to Old Master Lu was because he had once helped his father, Li Qi, once.
To the busy Li Qi, this could be considered a life-saving grace. Therefore, when Li Qi knew that Li Junsheng was coming to Qing City to take up his post, he repeatedly instructed him to visit Lu Manjiang if he came.
When Li Junsheng went to visit Lu Manjiang, only his son was present. He had never seen Lu Manjiang's daughter.
Therefore, when he received a call yesterday saying that Lu Manjiang's son-in-law wanted to meet him, he did not decline. He was the son-in-law of his benefactor, so it was only right for him to meet him.
"Mayor Li, you're too polite. Just call me Uncle Ye. "Ye Nanshan's words were filled with intimacy and coziness.
Even though Li Junsheng had been in the officialdom for so many years, he almost couldn't control his expression when he heard Ye Nanshan's words.
Lu Manjiang had saved Li Qi, and Li Qi and Lu Manjiang had become good friends. He called Lu Manjiang uncle. And now he calls Ye Nanshan uncle Ye? How was this seniority calculated?
The corner of Secretary Chen's mouth twitched. This Ye Nanshan was really shameless. He was really taking advantage of his status as Lu Manjiang's son-in-law.
"You're too kind, Chairman Ye. When I took office in Qingcheng, my father told me to visit Uncle Lu. Since my father and Uncle Lu are good friends, why don't I call you Big Brother Ye? "
It was just a form of address. He was the son-in-law of his benefactor, so it was fine to give him some face.
Big brother Ye? It was Ye Nanshan's turn to be shocked. If Li Junsheng called him Big Brother, then how was he going to introduce his daughter to him later?
Wouldn't that be a different generation?
Li Junsheng acted as if he didn't see the expression on his face and looked at Chen Wan.
"You're Uncle Lu's daughter, right? Hello, Sister Lu. I'm Li Junsheng. I often hear my father mention Uncle Lu. I've been to Qingcheng twice, but this is the first time I've met Sister Lu. "
"Pfft."
Ye Zhen finally couldn't control the expression on his face and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When she smiled, everyone else in the room turned to look at her. Chen Wan looked embarrassed when Li Junsheng called her Sister Lu. But she couldn't deny it.
Now that she heard Ye Zhen's mockery, she felt embarrassed as if her face was burning.
Ye Ninghan's expression didn't look good either. She stepped forward and was about to introduce herself to Li Junsheng. She didn't expect Ye Zhen to ruin it.
Li Junsheng looked at the woman who was smiling brightly. She was very young and looked very beautiful. It wasn't the kind of exaggerated and flamboyant beauty.
She had an oval face and almond-shaped eyes. Her appearance was gentle and classic. When she entered the room just now, he felt that the other party revealed a shrewdness that didn't match her age.
And when she smiled at this moment, she gave off the feeling that she was a very hearty and cheerful person. She was really a contradictory woman.
"This is –"
Ye Nanshan's face turned green. If it weren't for Li Junsheng, he had no doubt that he would turn around and roll his eyes at Ye Zhen.
"This, this is my daughter. Ye Zhen. "If he could, he really wanted to chase Ye Zhen out.
"Hello."
Ye Zhen just smiled. She laughed very hard. When she heard Li Junsheng greet her, she waved her hand and felt that it was too funny.
Her reaction was very strange. Li Junsheng didn't understand what she was laughing at. However, he was used to seeing big scenes, so he wouldn't let his expression show.
He smiled and looked at Ye Zhen, who was standing behind the three of them. "Can you tell me what you're laughing at?"
When Ye Zhen heard his words, she laughed even harder. She waved her hand. Even if she wanted to answer, she had to let her recover first.
Because Chen Wan's expression just now was really too funny.
Ye Nanshan's face was livid, but he tried his best to control it. Chen Wan's face was pale, and her hands were almost twisted into a ball.
Forcing herself to calm down, she took a step forward and blocked Li Junsheng's gaze at Ye Zhen.
"Mayor Li, this is my daughter, Ye Ninghan."
Li Junsheng glanced at Ye Ninghan. She had a very sweet appearance. She had a round face and big eyes. This kind of girl was usually very easy for men to like. She had the feeling of a little sister next door.
"Ninghan, come, greet you –" Ye Nanshan originally wanted to say Brother Li. However, when he thought of how Li Junsheng addressed him just now, he was embarrassed. "Greetings, Uncle Li."
"Hello, Uncle Li. I'm Ye Ninghan. "
Ye Ninghan took a step forward with a faint smile on her face. What did the title matter? Taking him down was the real ability.
When Ye Zhen heard Ye Ninghan's voice, she laughed even more exaggeratedly.
Li Junsheng didn't respond to Ye Ninghan's greeting. Her gaze was still on Ye Zhen.
"Ye Zhen, that's enough. There are guests here. How can you be so rude? "
"Sister, you're too rude."
The three people standing together criticized Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen clutched her stomach. It was really too funny.
Ye Ninghan was going on a blind date with Mayor Li, and now she was calling him uncle?
Hahahaha, why was it so funny? Seeing that the three people's faces turned green, she laughed even more exaggeratedly.
So what if her image was bad? Her purpose in coming here today was to ruin this blind date.
"Ye Zhen, if you're not feeling well, I'll send you back." Ye Nanshan's face was red. It could be seen that he was trying his best to restrain himself.
Chen Wan didn't expect Li Junsheng to continue asking. Her expression became more and more ugly. She wanted to stop him, but she couldn't.
In his heart, he hated Ye Zhen to death. He was really a jinx.
"I'm not laughing. I just think it's funny."
Ye Zhen stopped smiling and glanced in Chen Wan's direction. That gaze, there was a hidden meaning.
Chen Wan felt a chill down her spine. She could only stand up and smooth things over. "Mayor Li, don't be offended. Our Zhenzhen has such a personality. She's not mature at all."
"Yes, yes. Sister is so old, but she's still like a child. It's really – "
Ye Ninghan followed. Li Junsheng didn't say anything. He just looked at Ye Zhen. "Miss Ye, can you tell me what you're laughing at?"
If she wanted to use this method to attract his attention, then he really didn't think it was.
Because this girl's eyes were very clear, very clean and clear.
"Children just like to joke." Chen Wan took a step forward, wanting to divert Li Junsheng's attention again. Today's protagonist should be Ye Ninghan.
Ye Zhen looked at the anxious expression on Chen Wan's face and finally stopped smiling.
"Yes, yes. I like to joke, just like how you like to pretend to be someone's daughter. "
"Ye Zhen, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Is it nonsense?" Ye Zhen smiled. She took a few steps forward, walked around the three people, and walked in front of Li Junsheng.
This man was the mayor of Qingcheng. He was also the person that Ye Ninghan wanted to curry favor with. But she would never let Ye Ninghan curry favor with him. .
It was even more impossible for Ye Ninghan to use the Lu family to get promoted.
"Hello, Mayor Li. My name is Ye Zhen. I'm Lu Manjiang's granddaughter. My only granddaughter. "
Her voice was very pleasant to listen to. Li Junsheng's attention was naturally focused on the three words that she emphasized.
Li Junsheng looked at the face of the person in front of him. The feeling he had when he first entered the door came again.
She clearly had a pair of very beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and she also had a gentle temperament. However, when her eyes stared at you seriously, you could feel the shrewdness that came from inside out.
Interesting.
He smiled. "Really?"
"Yes." Lu Zhen gently flipped her hair. "My mother only gave birth to me, and my grandfather only has one mother. As for this Ms. Chen. I'm sorry, her surname is Chen, not Lu. "
"Ye Zhen."
"Ye Zhen."
"Sister."
Three voices sounded at the same time. Ye Zhen turned her face and looked at the three people behind her. "Did I say something wrong?"
"…"
It was because she didn't say anything wrong that their expressions were so ugly.
Who was Li Junsheng? He was a smart person. Seeing this, what was there not to understand?
He suddenly smiled. "I see. I think I misunderstood just now. "
"No, no, no. Mayor Li, you didn't misunderstand. "Ye Zhen still had a smile on her face." Someone deliberately made you misunderstand. "
"Ye Zhen."
Ye Nanshan's face was livid. If it weren't for Li Junsheng, Ye Zhen had no doubt that he would have attacked her.
"I'm sorry. I seem to have said too much. I'm sorry. " She retracted her gaze and looked at Li Junsheng. "Today's timing isn't right. Next time when there's a chance, Grandfather and I will invite Mayor Li to my humble home for a gathering."
Li Junsheng looked at this very young woman. It was rare to see such a woman. Shrewd and calculating, clear and magnanimous.
She said sorry words, but there was no apology in her eyes. Every word he said had a hidden meaning. Interesting.
He smiled. "Indeed, today isn't a good time. Since that's the case, let's visit Uncle Lu's house next time. "
His words shocked Ye Nanshan. He couldn't help but show some emotions on his face. Who didn't know that Mayor Li had just taken office? He was the most popular figure in Qing City?
It wasn't too difficult to invite him. If it weren't for Lu Manjiang, Li Junsheng wouldn't have given them face.
"Mayor Li."
"Chairman Ye, I still have something to do today, so I'll be leaving first."
Ye Zhen smiled when she heard that even the way she addressed him had changed.
"No, look, Mayor Li, the dishes have already been ordered. No matter what, you have to eat before you leave. "
Chen Wan was anxious and couldn't help but speak first. Li Junsheng glanced at her with an indifferent expression. "Mrs. Ye, you're too polite. You know that we also have rules now. We can't eat and drink outside casually."
If she was really from Lu Manjiang's family, it wouldn't matter if they had a meal together. But if it didn't matter, it was better to avoid it.
Ye Zhen smiled. This Mayor Li was a little interesting. As expected of a mayor. Listen to his level of speech.
"Secretary Chen, let's go."
"Mayor Li, I'll send you off."
Ye Zhen followed behind Mayor Li. After taking two steps, she turned around and looked at Ye Nanshan and the others. "Dad, Auntie, since the dishes have been ordered, you can enjoy them slowly. You can't waste them, right?"
Chen Wan was so angry that her mouth almost crooked. This wretched lass, did she purposely come to oppose him?
Ye Ninghan's face turned pale. Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen, spoiling her plans everywhere. How hateful.
Li Junsheng had already left. Secretary Chen followed behind him. Before leaving, he glanced at Ye Nanshan. That gaze was meaningful.
Ye Nanshan felt a chill run down his back. He wanted to chase after her, but he was afraid that he would make Li Junsheng even more unhappy. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Zhen left just like that.
Ye Zhen left the private room in a good mood. Things were much easier than she had thought.
After leaving the private room, she looked at Li Junsheng and felt that this new mayor was pleasing to the eye.
Too smart. He was really a smart person. She liked to deal with smart people.
"Mayor Li, thank you for today."
No matter what, even if it was for Lu Manjiang's sake, she was very grateful that he was willing to help her.
"Miss Ye, I've said it before. I know your grandfather. You don't have to be so polite."
"I still have to thank you." Ye Zhen didn't believe that Li Junsheng couldn't tell that she was using him. "Mayor Li, since you're Grandfather's friend, just call me Ye Zhen."
"Thank you very much for today. If there's a chance next time, I'll definitely treat you to a meal. "
As she spoke, she bowed slightly and leaned her body forward by 15 degrees. She looked very respectful.
Li Junsheng looked at her and said, "Why do you have to do it next time? Can't you do it today? You haven't had dinner yet, have you? "
"…" Ye Zhen was stunned.
"What? Is it inconvenient? "
"No, no, no, it's very convenient. It's very convenient. "After Ye Zhen replied, she felt that her question was really —
"If that's the case, then Mayor Li, please."
Li Junsheng wasn't in a hurry to leave. He turned his face and looked at Ye Zhen. The smile on his face was very indifferent. "Since you asked me to call you by your name, you don't have to call me Mayor Li."
"Okay, Uncle Li, please."
Li Junsheng looked at the young lady's calm eyes and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.
He didn't feel it when Ye Ninghan called him that before, but why did he feel a little uncomfortable when this young lady called him uncle?
Uncle Li? Was he that old?
..
It was still the same hotel, but they had changed to a private room. Secretary Chen had already left. Before she left, she left the car for Li Junsheng.
Only Li Junsheng and Ye Zhen were at the dining table. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Ye Zhen glanced at him, picked up the tea on the table, and poured him a cup of tea.
"Uncle Li, have some tea."
"Thank you." Li Junsheng picked up the teacup and looked at Ye Zhen. "Sorry, I didn't know your mother –"
"It's okay." Ye Zhen looked indifferent. "My mother died less than half a year ago, and my father married that woman. She gave birth to my younger brother less than half a year after she married. Heh. It's been almost ten years now. Who in Qing City still remembers my mother? Everyone only knows that Mrs. Ye's surname is Chen, but no one knows that Mrs. Ye's surname was originally Lu. "
Her face was calm, but Li Junsheng saw a flash of sadness in her eyes.
He frowned slightly. This kind of thing was actually very common. It was just that a real aristocratic family would cover it up. They wouldn't do it so obviously.
Looking at the sadness in the little girl's eyes, he wanted to comfort her. However, Ye Zhen didn't want to continue this topic, so she changed the topic.
"Oh right. Uncle Li probably doesn't know, right? My dad didn't just treat you to a meal today. "
Just because he failed today didn't mean that he would fail in the future. If there was a first, there would be a second. With Ye Nanshan's personality, he probably wouldn't give up so easily.
"I can see that."
Li Junsheng nodded. The thoughts of those people just now were too obvious. Anyone could see it.
"Then, what do you think of my cheap sister?"
Li Junsheng wasn't in a hurry to answer. He looked at Ye Zhen and felt that this girl was really interesting. She was clearly curious, but she didn't care.
"En, she looks not bad."
"Hmm."
Ye Zhen didn't say anything. She poured herself a cup of tea. The good impression that she had of Li Junsheng just now was all gone now.
"However, I think you're not bad."
Ye Zhen paused for a moment. She put down the teacup again and turned to look at Li Junsheng. "Uncle Li, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Go ahead."
"It's not exactly a favor. I just feel that a big shot like you wouldn't like someone like my sister, right? "
This time, it was Li Junsheng's turn to laugh. He looked at Ye Zhen and once again felt that this little girl was very interesting.
"Don't, don't laugh."
Ye Zhen didn't think so at first, but who asked Ye Ninghan to be thick-skinned if she didn't have any other abilities?
She had a sweet mouth and was thick-skinned. Her looks weren't bad either. If she found an opportunity to coax Li Junsheng into "accepting" her, wouldn't her life in the future be difficult?
"I'm serious." Ye Zhen knew that in front of a smart person like Li Junsheng, it was best not to play any tricks. She chose to tell the truth.
"Uncle Li, look, you know my grandfather. You call my grandfather uncle, so you're the same generation as my uncle. In that case, you're my sister's elder. Right? "
