"Master Yu, your mouth is so sweet this morning, did you just eat honey?"
"How do you know? You just ate honey-candied donkey-hide gelatin dates. What about you? What do you want to eat?" Yu Zenan took the menu from the waiter.
"I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky about food."
Yu Zenan ordered something for her. Xia Xingchen held him down and sighed, "Too much, too much!"
"It's not much. You're so thin, you'd better eat more."
"It's bird's nest and matsutake, very expensive."
"expensive?"
Xia Xingchen felt bad for his wallet, "My two months' salary may not even be enough to pay for your breakfast, Second Young Master."
Seeing her stingy look, Yu Zenan laughed with joy.
"I feel bad now. What about last time you said you would treat me to a meal? Were you cheating me?"
"I'm not cheating you. I've thought about it and will cook for you myself." There is no better way to save money than this.
"Can you cook?"
"Of course, I'm not a rich young master like you guys, who just opens his mouth for food and stretches out his hands for clothes. But I have to borrow the kitchen from my friend tonight."
"Then I'll wait for the feast."
"It's just some home-cooked food, you are not allowed to be disgusted."
"Let's talk about it after we eat."
Xia Xingchen snorted and remembered something important. "Oh, you haven't told me who you are. Why does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs listen to you?"
"It doesn't count as listening to me. I just asked my brother to make a phone call."
"Your brother? Who is your brother?"
Yu Zenan took out his wallet and threw it to her, took a bite of pasta, and said incoherently: "Do you know him?"
Xia Xingchen opened his wallet and found a photo inside. There were two young men in the photo, one was him and the other was...
Looks quite familiar. I seem to have seen it on TV.
"Isn't this... Vice President Yu Zeyao? Your brother is the vice president?"
He nodded. Xia Xingchen muttered, "No wonder they are all so respectful to me and say that I have a relationship with the president. That's why."
"I'm more reliable than an ordinary middle school teacher, right?" He tilted his head, moved closer to her, and smiled, "Virgin, single, unmarried, how about it, do you want to consider it?"
"Don't bluff me." Xia Xingchen pushed his head away. "I haven't asked you yet. You're obviously not my original blind date. Why are you joining in the fun?"
"Your original blind date is my good friend. He is now inseparable from his ex-wife and is ready to reconcile at any time. You are in a dilemma and are begging me to help you out. However, you have nothing to lose by going on a blind date with me."
"That's right. If it weren't for you, I'd still be looking for another job."
Moreover, this second young master is quite cute. Although he is not a real blind date partner, it is a good thing to make such a friend.
"Okay, hurry up and eat your breakfast. It's worth several months' salary. Don't waste it."
Yu Zenan rubbed her hair.
… … …
When we were almost done eating, we heard hurried but orderly footsteps. Looking closely, we saw a number of men in black standing on the corridor outside, all wearing wolf-tooth headphones, looking well-trained.
"Your people?" Xia Xingchen asked.
Yu Zenan shook his head. "My brother wants this kind of ceremony. But I haven't heard that my brother is coming here today."
The waiter came over quickly and whispered something in Yu Zenan's ear. Yu Zenan raised his eyebrows, "No wonder."
After the others left, Yu Zenan wiped his lips, turned his head and whispered to Xia Xingchen, "The president will be here soon."
"Ah?" Xia Xingchen was surprised.
"Ah, what? Let's go play ball."
Yu Zenan pulled her up. Xia Xingchen said, "But I don't know how to do it."
"I teach you."
… … … …
After riding the electric car for a while, Xia Xingchen kept looking around when they arrived at the stadium.
Will Bai Yeqing really come
"You look absent-minded, what are you looking at?" Yu Zenan asked someone to bring his special golf club over and threw it into Xia Xingchen's hand. He held her face and turned her eyes away, "Look at the ball, there's no point looking back."
"Oh." Xia Xingchen accompanied him to have fun with the intention of repaying his kindness.
However, after swinging the club several times, the effect was not very good. Either the club missed the ball or it was off target. She was extremely frustrated, and Yu Zenan was watching her misfortune by her side, sipping his drink.
"If you laugh again, I won't play with you anymore." Xia Xingchen glared at him.
Right now...
The sound of battery cars came from far away. Xia Xingchen looked over and saw more than ten cars slowly approaching, with many bodyguards sitting in them.
Yu Zenan also took a look from a distance, then glanced at Xia Xingchen, sipped his drink and walked over, resting his elbow lazily on her shoulder, "Are you stunned? Haven't you seen the president?"
"Of course I have."
"Have you seen it?"
Xia Xingchen said "Oh" and nodded, "He was also there when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held an event last time."
"Oh." Yu Zenan pouted and sighed, "He was just a little taller and more handsome than my brother, but in the end he became president. I still feel unconvinced no matter how I think about it."
"Tsk~" Xia Xingchen retorted disapprovingly: "You are looking at the problem too superficially. What's the big deal about being tall and handsome? If he didn't have more advantages than your brother, how could he be so popular and loved by everyone? Last month's state-owned enterprise reform, the economic regulation the month before, the international confrontation with the United States the month before, and..."
Xia Xingchen became more and more proud as he spoke, as if he was counting everything down to his own hands.
"Okay, stop." Yu Zenan interrupted her and picked his ears. "I didn't realize that you admire him so much."
worship
Xia Xingchen couldn't help but think of the last time he told her that 'liking him would make him feel burdened', and subconsciously retorted: "I don't worship him."
"It's written all over your face!" Yu Zenan stretched out his hand and drew on her cheek, "Don't deny it."
"Disgusting." She slapped his hand away.
Yu Zenan smiled and put down the drink. "Forget it, let's not talk about him. I'm here to teach you how to play basketball."
… … … …
Bai Yeqing, protected by Leng Fei, got out of the car first. Mr. Mayne followed closely behind, and next to Mr. Mayne was Xu Yan, who had just been transferred to the President's Office.
Led by the staff, the group walked towards the teeing area of the stadium.
Leng Fei had sharp eyes and immediately saw a familiar figure in front of him.
"Sir, that seems to be Miss Xia." Leng Fei lowered his voice and spoke in his ear.
Bai Yeqing took a look from a distance.
She is here indeed.
Playing ball with a man.
No! To be precise, it's not playing ball, but flirting!
The man was hugging her from behind, his big hands on her hands, holding her hands and swinging the club. The two of them were obviously having a lot of fun, and she was smiling.
He just glanced at her, his brows turning colder. He withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and started talking to Mr. Mayne beside him.
On the side, Xu Yan, who was acting as an interpreter, was also watching the scene not far away and was distracted for a moment. It was not until Bai Ye Qing Lingren's gaze swept over that he came back to his senses belatedly and forced himself to pull his attention back.
