Chapter 785: Minor Accident (1)
When these words were shouted out, it could be said to be earth-shattering to the other people at the banquet.
“Eh, Blake? Is it that Blake?”
“What Blake? How come I’ve never heard of it?”
“I’ve never heard of it either. Have you heard of it?”
“Oh my G.o.d, you’ve never heard of the Blake Group? They own, Ejia an internationally famous brand. The cosmetics, clothes, real estate investments, and various supermarkets under Blake’s name are all involved in all aspects. It can be said that it’s an internationally renowned big brand. In the entire Shalnork, the only person who can be compared to him is probably that person from the Mu family. To be able to become the Vice President of the Blake Group and still be so young, thisguy’s future… Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
With that person’s explanation, the entire banquet exploded once again. Those gazes that were originally gathered on Ye Yan with insurmountable pressure suddenly turned around and were all gathered on Sirius.
Compared to the married man, Ye Yan, the Great President Ye, Sirius, who looked to be about his age and did not even seem to be married, all while holding an important position, was obviously much more attractive.
Moreover, from the tone of the person just now, the company that this man was in was well-known internationally. International and domestic were two completely different concepts.
With all that in mind, this man stood heads and shoulders above those so-called young talents present.
“That man is actually the Vice President of Blake. He looks so young.”
/
“That’s right. He’s so young, and he’s even the VP of a large corporation. Either his family is very capable, or he’s really very capable. No matter how you look at it, he’s a force to be reckoned with!”
“What should I do? I feel like I’m going to fall in love with someone else again. Although this man isn’t Ye Yan, he’s still very handsome on closer inspection. Especially those eyes of his. I feel like they’re going to steal my soul away.”
“Yeah, I’ve also realized that those eyes give off a really different feeling. I feel like I’m going to be captivated by him, too.”
“…”
Ye Yan listened to the discussions of those girls, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. He was glad that he was already married and had children. He had sufficient reasons to reject these women who were like wolves and tigers.
Otherwise, he would be the one being stared at by these women with hungry wolf-like eyes!
Compared to Ye Yan’s relief, Zhao Youming’s expression was ugly. He watched helplessly as the men who had happily wanted to introduce their daughter to him ten minutes ago rushed away from him, trying to shove their daughters onto Sirius’s body.
Zhao Youming only felt his face burn, as if he had been slapped by something. He could not put his anger in words.
Zhao Youlin saw Zhao Youming’s frustration and disgruntlement. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. She turned her head to look at Sirius and smiled tacitly.
The moment Sirius’s ident.i.ty was revealed, it spread through the hall at an eye-popping speed. More and more people gathered around them.
Zhao Youming only regained his senses after being b.u.mped by someone. When he raised his head, he met Sirius’ ice-cold gaze. His entire body trembled, and he pursed his lips. He said a little dryly, “Senior, you’re still the same as you were in school. Truly amazing. It’s only been less than three years and you’re already in the position of vice president. It’s really admirable.”
The corner of Sirius’s lips suddenly curved into a mocking smile. He said indifferently, “I have to thank you for that. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have left the school so early, and I wouldn’t have had so many colorful experiences outside. However, there’s one thing that I’m different from when I was in school.”
“… Wh… what?”
Sirius narrowed his eyes and sneered, “I’m not as simple as I was in school. I don’t trust others easily, and I won’t let anyone stab me in the back.”
Zhao Youming was embarra.s.sed for a moment, and the shame on his face became more and more obvious. He tried hard to maintain the expression on his face, he said in a low voice, “I… I suddenly remembered that there are still a few guests over there who need me to go over and greet them. I’ll head over first. You guys have a good chat.”
After saying that, he did not care about what the others thought. He turned around and ran into the distance while stumbling. It was as if there was something terrifying chasing after him from behind.
Zhao Youlin looked at his sorry state. The corners of her lips curled up, and a mocking sneer quickly flashed across her eyes.
After Zhao Youming ran away, there was no need for her and Sirius to continue acting. After dealing with those people who came up to strike up a conversation, Zhao Youlin followed Siris and found a relatively quiet place to sit down.
Duan Yarong and Sirius had other guests to greet, so they could only leave first. Ye Yan, as a guest invited by Zhao Youlin, stayed behind.
“h.e.l.lo, I’m Ye Yan.”Ye Yan stretched out his hand towards Sirius, as soon as he sat down.
Sirius saw that Ye Yan had been standing beside Zhao Youlin since the beginning, and Zhao Youlin did not seem to react to him. He guessed that this person should also be Zhao Youlin’s friend. He reached out to shake Ye Yan’s hand. “h.e.l.lo, I’m Sirius.”
“What… What happened just now?” Ye Yan had long noticed the strange atmosphere of Zhao Youlin and the others. However, it was not appropriate to ask her directly in front of many people, so he could only endure until now.
Sirius glanced at Zhao Youlin. Zhao Youlin smiled knowingly and said in a low voice, “Ye Yan is considered one of us. It doesn’t matter.”
Sirius then nodded. He briefly explained the enmity between him and Zhao Youming. “Zhao Youming and I used to be alumni of the same school. Because of some reasons, I was framed by him and took the blame that originally belonged to him. I was expelled and my future prospects were basically gone. If I hadn’t met my current boss, I’m afraid that I would have spent the rest of my life in a place that doesn’t see the light of day. I wouldn’t have had the chance to turn things around.”
Sirius’s words were a little too oversimplified, but it didn’t hinder Ye Yan’s understanding at all.
It was so big that when one was looking for a job, they would encounter obstacles. There was no room for them to turn things around. Just these two sentences could let people understand the seriousness of the matter, Zhao Youming and Sirius’s history was definitely not something as simple as a grudge.
Ye Yan nodded in realization. “I see. No wonder Zhao Youming’s expression was so ugly when he saw you just now. He didn’t even dare to look at you when he spoke. So he was haunted by his old guilt.”
Sirius glanced at Ye Yan and didn’t comment, but a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Youming’s reaction just now was indeed very pleasant for him to watch, but… it was not enough. Compared to what Zhao Youming had done to him, it was far from enough.
