Chapter 487: Jiang Wenxu’s Invitation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing Murong Qiao ask curiously. Uncle Yang smiled and turned to bring his Young Miss to the living room first, lest she catch a cold if she stood there for too long.
The two of them walked past the entrance. Uncle Yang took the coat from Murong Qiao and explained.
“Fourth Young Master has a separate room on the first floor to collect the awards he has won.”
Uncle Yang pointed in the direction. “He’s been a smart child since he was young. Fourth Young Master has received a lot of awards since he was young, and I couldn’t help myself but to clean them up. I couldn’t bear to throw them away, so I specially vacated a room.”
But in fact, even so, there were still many awards that couldn’t fit into the room. The small room that was originally used had also been changed to a larger one.
“So many…” Murong Qiao clicked her tongue.
Although she was also the top scorer of the college entrance examination, when she heard Uncle Yang say this, Murong Qiao immediately felt that her impression of her Fourth Brother had become much higher in her heart.
There was a sudden buzzing sound. Murong Qiao touched her pocket and found her cell phone.
It was a call from Huo Yichen.
“Ah Chen?” She picked up the call.
When Uncle Yang saw this, he naturally didn’t want to disturb his Young Miss’s conversation on the phone. He bowed slightly and went to the kitchen.
The sound of paper flipping could be heard from Huo Yichen’s side. “Yes, it’s me.”
“Are you at the office? I’ll pick you up later,” he asked as he signed.
He knew that Murong Qiao got off work normally, so he called at this time to ask.
Murong Qiao was stunned for a moment. Only after hearing Huo Yichen’s words did she react. He seemed to have forgotten to tell Huo Yichen that she had gone to watch her Fourth Brother’s compet.i.tion today.
“Um… actually, you don’t have to pick me up.” Murong Qiao coughed guiltily.
Although not reporting her itinerary was not a big deal, when she thought of Huo Yichen, who was busy every day, picking her up from work and making time for her…
Huo Yichen raised his eyebrows and guessed correctly. “You’re home?”
“Yes, Fourth Brother and I just arrived home,” Murong Qiao replied.
While on the phone, Murong Qiao told Huo Yichen what had happened today.
“Then it seems that I can only give the restaurant I booked to Ye Zhen.” Huo Yichen smiled helplessly.
Murong Qiao didn’t expect to disrupt Huo Yichen’s plan.
She touched her face and felt the rising heat. Her voice subconsciously lowered. “Then… I’ll make up for it?”
“I’m free tomorrow!” She sounded firm. “I’ll look for you at the Huo Corporation.”
Without needing Huo Yichen to retort, Murong Qiao suddenly became unyielding and made a decision.
Thinking about how the two of them had not met for a long time and finally had time… ahem.
Huo Yichen was about to say “it’s fine” when he stopped.
“Young Miss, dinner is ready.” Uncle Yang walked over and reminded her softly.
It was not that Uncle Yang wanted to disturb the Young Miss and Young Master Huo’s conversation, but some dishes were more delicious when they were hot.
If it turned cold and was reheated, the taste would be much worse.
Murong Qiao nodded silently, indicating that she understood. “Ah Chen, I’ll call Fourth Brother for dinner. Shall we talk later?”
Previously, she was not lying when she said that he was hungry in front of Qin Zizhuo.
At this moment, Murong Qiao’s stomach began to rumble as she chatted as if to express its protest.
It was not appropriate for Huo Yichen to delay and not let her eat, so he could only agree vaguely. The next second, he heard the other party end the call.
Ye Zhen happened to knock on the door and walk in.
He was holding a pile of new doc.u.ments. As soon as he entered, he met his President’s gaze. His calm gaze made Ye Zhen’s heart skip a beat.
He hadn’t… done anything wrong recently, right?
Ye Zhen’s heart skipped a beat. Even his footsteps when he walked in front of Huo Yichen subconsciously lightened. He had already begun to secretly reflect on his recent problems.
“Just help me take the slot for the restaurant tonight. I’m not going.” Huo Yichen casually gave out the spot he had painstakingly reserved.
The most important person couldn’t attend the appointment, so there was no point in carefully preparing.
Ye Zhen was still immersed in his thoughts. “President, I’ll definitely reflect on myself—Eh?”
He looked up in shock and realized what Huo Yichen was talking about.
Ye Zhen knew that the President had other arrangements for tonight. Otherwise, his workload today would not have been compressed to the extreme.
From the looks of it… he was rejected by Young Miss Murong?
Ye Zhen couldn’t understand what was going on, but when he heard that the President wanted to leave the restaurant to him, he was even more confused.
It was a good thing to give it to him. Anyone would be tempted by such a huge benefit.
But the problem was… he didn’t have a girlfriend either???
Ye Zhen was filled with questions and couldn’t say it. He could only nod and accept the President’s kindness.
“These are your arrangements for tomorrow. In addition, Jiang Wenxu took the initiative to invite you to the Jiang Corporation. He said that he wanted to have a meal with you.” Ye Zhen a.s.sumed his work att.i.tude.
Jiang Wenxu?
Huo Yichen frowned subtly. His hands did not stop moving. After smoothly signing his name on the contract, he slowly looked up at Ye Zhen.
“If it’s about Jiang Weiyang, reject it.” Huo Yichen thought that this was Jiang Weiyang’s new trick.
He originally thought that the other party would stop after being rejected some time ago. He didn’t expect that not long after, she would sprout again like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Perhaps he should think of a way to… resolve this matter once and for all.
“I really don’t know.” Ye Zhen shook his head. Then, he felt that his words were too perfunctory and hurriedly added, “Jiang Wenxu called personally to say it.”
Therefore, Ye Zhen felt that it was very necessary to tell the President about this.
No matter what, Jiang Wenxu was someone who would inherit the Jiang Corporation in the future. There was no need to make their relationship so stiff. As for Jiang Weiyang… she was an exception.
Thinking of Young Miss Jiang’s style, Ye Zhen pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
Huo Yichen narrowed his eyes. “Alright, I understand. If you have nothing to do, get off work early.”
If Jiang Wenxu called personally, he couldn’t reject him too decisively.
Perhaps it was because he had something on his mind, but just as Huo Yichen let Ye Zhen leave, he turned around and closed the door. Jiang Wenxu’s call went to Huo Yichen’s phone right on the heels of that.
“President Huo.” Jiang Wenxu’s smiling voice came from the other end of the phone. “I believe Ye Zhen has already told you what I said.”
“Previously, I didn’t discipline my sister well and caused trouble for President Huo. Let me be the host, I’ll treat you to a meal to apologize.”
Jiang Wenxu straightforwardly stated his goal.
Huo Yichen did not reply immediately. He listened to Jiang Wenxu’s sanctimonious act.
Some time ago, Jiang Weiyang must have been secretly “incited” by Jiang Wenxu to come to his place so arrogantly. Huo Yichen was not stupid. He knew what Jiang Wenxu was planning.
“In addition, we need to discuss the project we’ve been working on recently…”
Jiang Wenxu said again, lifting Huo Yichen up.
Whether it was for business or personal reasons, Huo Yichen had to eat this meal for the sake of work.
As it was a voice call, Huo Yichen naturally couldn’t see the fox-like smile on Jiang Wenxu’s face.
A gentle smile hung on his refined and handsome face, but it gave off a cold and calculating feeling.
Jiang Wenxu played with the beautiful fountain pen in his hand and waited for Huo Yichen’s answer.
After a while, Huo Yichen spoke.
“Sure, we’ll talk face to face.”
He might as well use this opportunity to make the Jiang family give up, lest Jiang Weiyang always come to trouble him..
