At the entrance of Fengwanlou.
Liu Zhixian stared blankly at Ye Heng's departing figure in the setting sun.
Xiao Li sensed his boss's thoughts and smiled, "I have a feeling Ye Heng will be back soon."
Liu Zhixian regained her composure, revealed a smile, and captivated many passersby who were secretly watching her.
"Hopefully, but I don't want to wait another two years..."
She muttered something under her breath, then turned around and instructed, "The president of the Su Group, I think her name is Su Yingxue, right? Give me her information, with a photo."
Although she knew Ye Heng wouldn't stay with her for long, Liu Zhixian, as a woman, couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and at the same time, she became curious about Su Yingxue.
She hesitated for a moment, then added:
"Any orders targeting the Su Group will be rejected... and the employer's information will be recorded!"
Xiao Li stopped breathing for a second.
As one of the three major underground organizations in Jinling, Fengyi Pavilion naturally had many shady businesses.
Whether this type of deal goes through often doesn't depend on the price.
It's about reputation!
The Pavilion Master's actions have undoubtedly shattered the Phoenix Pavilion's long-standing reputation.
But he did not block the way, because he knew.
In the Pavilion Master's heart, not to mention reputation, even the entire Phoenix Pavilion couldn't compare to that man's single word.
"I understand," Xiao Li replied immediately, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Boss lady, the young master Dongfang from the military just called you, wanting to invite you to a dinner party..."
"Tell him to get lost!" Liu Zhixian's face instantly turned icy as she uttered those words.
……
Linjiang Building.
Ye Heng leaned against the car, waiting for Su Yingxue.
A short while later, several handsome men and beautiful women emerged from among them.
Those women would all turn heads on the street, but at first glance, only Su Yingxue could draw all eyes.
Several men and women looked surprised when they saw Su Yingxue walking towards Ye Heng.
"Yingxue, who is this?"
"I've never seen him before. He looks like a country bumpkin."
This remark drew laughter from everyone.
Su Yingxue glanced at Ye Heng; his cheap clothes were indeed something her old classmate would easily find amusing.
A sudden pang of regret shot through her mind; she should have asked Ye Heng to pick her up later.
One of the young men, dressed in a custom-made blue suit, had a flushed face and had clearly drunk quite a bit.
This person's name is Liang Xiao, the son of the chairman of the Times Group and also Su Yingxue's classmate. He has just returned from studying abroad.
Today's class reunion can be said to have been held specifically for him.
"Xiaoxue, why don't you come with me to take you home? I've already demanded a price; it's beneath me to have someone like that as a driver."
After saying that, he made a move to put his arm around Su Yingxue's shoulder.
Su Yingxue had obviously been drinking as well, her beautiful face flushed. Although she couldn't compare to Liu Zhixian in terms of allure, her aloofness gave her a clear advantage over Liu Zhixian.
No man could resist her beauty, and Liang Xiao was no exception.
But Ye Heng would never agree to that. He stepped forward and slapped Ye Heng's dirty hand away.
"Don't bother, I'll take her home."
"What business is it of yours, a mere driver? When did it become your place to speak here?" Liang Xiao said disdainfully.
"Who said I was a driver? I'm Su Yingxue's fiancé. Tell me, why is this none of my business?"
Ye Heng's words shocked everyone present.
"What? This is Yingxue's fiancé? How is this possible?"
"This kid, a poor boy who can't even afford clothes?"
Liang Xiao was so shocked that he took two steps back and looked at Su Yingxue: "Xiaoxue, tell me quickly, this can't be true!"
"He's right, this was a marriage arranged by my grandfather."
Now that the matter has been exposed, given Su Yingxue's personality, she is unwilling to deliberately deceive them.
"How is this possible? This kid, how could he possibly be good enough for you? Has Old Master Su lost his mind? How could he agree to such a marriage!"
Provoked and having drunk quite a bit, Liang Xiao spoke without restraint.
"Yeah, Yingxue, this guy is awful. He's no match for you."
"I think this person tricked Old Master Su to arrange this marriage!"
"What era are we living in? Yingxue, you don't need to care about this marriage! A man like Young Master Liang is the perfect match for you!"
When Liang Xiao spoke about Ye Heng, Su Yingxue didn't think much of it, since he was telling the truth.
But she couldn't be happy if her grandfather were with her.
"This is a matter for the Su family. We return your words to you; it's none of your business!"
"Xiaoxue, don't you know how I feel about you? How can you say such things to me!"
"Then I'm clearly rejecting you now. I don't like you. If it weren't for this class reunion, I would never have come to this meal with you."
Su Yingxue was right. Since becoming the president of the Su Group, she had devoted herself to her work and gradually eliminated her useless social interactions.
She wouldn't have come if it weren't for the friendship she had with so many classmates.
With a cold expression, she walked up to Ye Heng and said, "Let's go to the company."
He abandoned Liang Xiao and his classmates and left.
Liang Xiao watched the car drive away, his hands clenched tightly, feeling extremely unwilling.
He could let it go since he couldn't catch up with Su Yingxue during his student days, thinking he would pursue her relentlessly after graduation.
I never expected that some brat would beat me to it!
He could tell that Su Yingxue didn't like that kid at all, and that he still had a chance.
However, he would not allow such a stain to remain on Su Yingxue's resume.
fiancé?
Wouldn't that mean I'd have to compare myself to someone like that?
"Young Master Liang, it's alright. Yingxue was just saying things in anger."
"That's right, that's right, how could she possibly be interested in that guy?"
Liang Xiao concluded with a harsh statement: "I'll make that kid know that there are some women he should never touch in his life!"
……
The Su Group is located in a prime area of Nanjing City, and has booked an entire office building.
Ye Heng drove his car to the underground parking garage.
Then, following Su Yingxue, they took the elevator to the twentieth floor.
The elevator doors opened, revealing a modern and efficient open-plan office area.
Under bright lights, dozens of well-dressed and impeccably made-up professionals are busy at their respective workstations or areas.
They were either intently staring at computer screens, or moving briskly through the aisles to pass documents, or chatting quietly in the break room, creating a vibrant and professional scene.
Ye Heng looked around and saw that there were indeed many beautiful and elegant female employees, but at this moment, everyone's eyes were unconsciously drawn to the aloof figure at the elevator entrance.
