CHAPTER 112: CHAPTER 111: WHO IS THIS MAN

"What? Someone wants to invite you two to dinner tonight and insists that I accompany you?" Wei Xueqing widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Ye Xin.

Why does she feel like she hasn’t hired employees and a bodyguard, but rather two grandmasters?

She’s already overwhelmed with work and will have to work overtime at night. How could she have the time to go out for dinner!

"Of course, without you, how can it work!" Ye Xin widened her eyes, her bright eyes fixed on Wei Xueqing, and said with a playful grin, "Do you know who’s inviting us to dinner tonight?"

Wei Xueqing stared at Ye Xin and said seriously, "First of all, you need to understand that this is a critical time. If we can’t succeed with this project, I might have to pack my things and leave. It’s not about whether I keep this position or not. What’s important is whether the Shangdong Group can continue to survive! I want you to understand this point. The Shangdong Group is my father’s blood, and I can’t just let it crumble in my hands! Also, I want you to understand that I really am very busy and don’t have time to attend any gatherings or dinners. If you two want to date, just go ahead. It has nothing to do with me, and I don’t want to be a third wheel. I have work to do, I’m very busy, thank you!"

She didn’t know why, but she felt very angry.

It felt like Ye Xin was showing off to her, but she clearly knew that was impossible.

Ye Xin was also a bit taken aback, not expecting Wei Xueqing to be so angry.

She quickly comforted her, "Sorry Qingqing, I didn’t know you were under so much pressure. You can tell me if you have any problems, I will help you."

Wei Xueqing took a deep breath, held her forehead, and rubbed her temples, saying, "Sorry Xinxin, I’ve been under too much stress lately, I shouldn’t have lost my temper at you. I really don’t have the time tonight, you two have fun, don’t worry about me, I’m fine, very safe!"

She felt that the reason Ye Xin brought this up with her must have been because of Yang Chen.

Ye Xin shook her head and said, "No! Qingqing, the more you say that, the more I feel like you need to go out with us for some relaxation. Also, the person inviting us to dinner this time is someone you know too, and I think you’ll be interested."

Wei Xueqing looked at Ye Xin with suspicion.

Ye Xin laughed and said, "Do you still remember Brother Li from back then?"

Wei Xueqing frowned in thought, trying hard to recall memories of the Brother Li Ye Xin mentioned.

Among the people she knew, there were quite a few with the surname Li, but she had no impression of someone called Brother Li. So she shook her head.

"Oh, it’s the Brother Li from the neighboring high school who often helped us back in school." Ye Xin said.

Hearing Ye Xin say that, Wei Xueqing did recall some things, and the image of that handsome elder brother appeared in her mind.

"You mean Brother Li Muyang, right!" Wei Xueqing said.

Ye Xin nodded.

Wei Xueqing was surprised and said, "How did he come back? Wasn’t he serving in the Guard? Seemed like he stayed in the Guard. At that time, wasn’t he living in the same upscale residential area as you? Now he’s back to invite you to dinner..."

She was well aware of Li Muyang’s pursuit of Ye Xin back then.

However, she felt that Li Muyang being five years older than Ye Xin was too much and not quite suitable.

Ye Xin hurriedly said, "Alright, it’s settled then, we’ll leave at eight tonight. Don’t ask anything, you’ll understand when we get there!"

Wei Xueqing sighed helplessly, looked at the work in her hands, and knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep well tonight.

At eight in the evening, Ye Xin was ready to open the door.

Wei Xueqing reluctantly put down her work, tidied up the documents, stood up, and said to her, "Alright, let’s go!"

When they came out, the company was already empty, with only Zhou Lan waiting outside.

The four of them got into the elevator, and Yang Chen drove.

"Where to?" Yang Chen asked.

"To Zhangkou Grand Hotel." Ye Xin said.

"Hey!" Wei Xueqing gave Ye Xin a nudge, surprised, and said, "Are you crazy? He’s just a military officer, and you’re having him treat you at Zhangkou Grand Hotel? You’re trying to eat up his whole year’s salary!"

Ye Xin pouted and said, "He said he’d treat me to something good, so naturally, we’re going to Zhangkou Grand Hotel, right, honey!"

Yang Chen glanced at Ye Xin through the rearview mirror but didn’t say anything more.

Soon, the car arrived at Zhangkou Grand Hotel.

After getting out of the car, Yang Chen felt a tense atmosphere around him.

Upon entering the hotel, Ye Xin mentioned having a reservation, and the waiter directly led them upstairs.

Luxury private room.

Yang Chen looked at the two men in formal suits standing at the door, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

The two men also stared at Yang Chen, their bodies tense, with a hint of cold sweat on their foreheads.

They could feel the pressure emanating from Yang Chen, a pressure they hadn’t even felt when facing the King Wei of their Guards.

Who is this man?

The two men were full of doubt, simultaneously becoming extremely vigilant, their eyes tightly fixed on Yang Chen.

Yang Chen glanced at the two, increased his vigilance, but softened his imposing aura. Because he could tell at a glance, the two came from the Guards.

As they entered the room, Ye Xin shouted, "Brother Li!"

Yang Chen cast his gaze over and saw the man in the casual shirt sitting at the table.

The man had a buzz cut, was sitting straight, with a firm waist, had a standard guard’s sitting and standing posture, eyes bright and focused, a smile at his mouth, yet not flamboyant.

From all this, Yang Chen could tell that this person definitely came from the Guards!

Seeing Liu Muyang, Wei Xueqing also called out, "Brother Li, long time no see."

Li Muyang looked at the three and couldn’t help but ask, "Xinxin, who are these two...?"

Ye Xin grinned and said, "Look at you Brother Li, really such a forgetful person after becoming a major, even forgetting your beautiful younger sister."

Yang Chen’s heart skipped a beat, not expecting that the young man in front of him was already a major. This rank is not something just anyone could achieve.

However, this didn’t surprise Yang Chen much; he had already reached the rank of colonel several years ago.

Li Muyang awkwardly laughed and said, "Apologies, I really didn’t think of it, give me a little hint."

Ye Xin rolled her eyes and said, "Back then, she went to school with me, and was especially pretty since childhood. People always blocked us, and it was you who rushed over to drive them away."

Li Muyang suddenly realized, pointing to Wei Xueqing, "Xueqing! Wei Xueqing! Sister Xueqing, apologies apologies, you’ve changed so much over the years, becoming more and more beautiful, I really didn’t recognize you."

In his impression, Wei Xueqing was a soft and gentle little girl, a real lady, and today, unexpectedly, she’s in a sharp professional outfit, looking very assertive, he really didn’t recognize her.

Even Ye Xin’s changes surprised Li Muyang. Ye Xin used to be like a tomboy; if it weren’t for her good figure development and particularly pretty looks, she could easily be mistaken for a boy. With short hair and sports attire, you’d find her at the sports field.

Now, the little girl looks sweet and beautiful, her figure, appearance, and outfit style are simply stunning.

This also made Li Muyang’s heart move even more.

But the man in front of him gave Li Muyang an uneasy feeling, also making him sense a hint of danger from this man.

Who is this person?
