The door of the room was open when Liu Sijie came in, so Xia Yu and Shen Yan were having a heated argument, which happened to all fall into the eyes of Lao Wang who came to deliver a message for Mr. Dong.
Last night he discovered that there was something unusual about the two of them, but Master Yan just said that they were friends, so he couldn't say much. He truthfully reported the relationship between the two of them to Mr. Dong.
Mr. Dong's feelings for Xia Yu and his daughter are no less than his feelings for his daughter and grandson. Although Dong Qingyuan and Jiang An arrived a day before them, Mr. Wang clearly felt Mr. Dong's interest in Shen Yan.
However, doing business is on a first-come, first-served basis, and whoever wins in the end depends on who has the highest chips. He has been with Mr. Dong for so many years, so he is certainly not an ordinary person.
He didn't know what he shouldn't say, what he shouldn't ask, and what he shouldn't see.
After knocking on the door twice, the room became quiet, and he smiled and said hello: "Good morning, everyone!"
"Brother Wang, please come in quickly!" Shen Yan hurriedly came over with a smile.
After a few words of greeting, Lao Wang led a few people to Mr. Dong's residence. On the way, he said: "Mr. Yan, Xiaoyu, Mr. Dong is waiting for you to have dinner together. Assistant Liu and I are downstairs. You guys Just call if you have anything to do.”
Shen Yan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go by ourselves."
Liu Sijie handed the tea leaves in his hand to Xia Yu,
Xia Yu accepted it and went to the second floor with Shen Yan.
There was a servant leading the way in the corridor on the second floor. In front of a double door, the servant knocked on the door and announced that a guest was coming. He only heard someone inside say: "Let them in."
Xia Yu was a little nervous. Firstly, she had not seen Mr. Dong for many years, and secondly, she was worried that Mr. Dong would not know how to answer when he asked about her father. It would be embarrassing! In fact, Xia Yu has long wanted to go back to see her father, but she was so full of words when she left. Now she has accomplished nothing. What makes her most embarrassed is that Chen Wenxuan is really a scumbag, so how can she have the nerve to go back.
As I walked and thought about my thoughts, I entered the door. The space inside the door was very large, decorated in Chinese style, with huge landscape paintings hanging on the wall. There was a large round table on the left. Some people were already sitting on the table. When Shen Yan and Xia Yu entered the door, the old man in the main seat took the lead and said with a smile: "Are you here?"
After he finished speaking, he slowly stood up, and after he stood up, the others at the table followed suit.
The smile on Shen Yan's face was a bit more than a smile. While thinking about Mr. Dong, long time no see, he stepped forward to let the old man have a closer look.
Mr. Dong is already in his seventies this year. His hair is all white, but his face is not as wrinkled as other people of the same age. He is leaning on a walking stick with one hand and patting Shen Yan's arm with the other hand. He smiled and said: "The younger man is getting better and better." Come on, you are taller than when I saw you a few years ago."
What Mr. Dong was talking about was more than ten years ago. At that time, Shen Yan was still a teenager. How could he not grow taller
Shen Yan said with a smile: "Mr. Dong is still the same as before."
No old person likes to be called old, and Mr. Dong is no exception. He laughed after hearing Shen Yan's words: "It's no use, you're old!"
While the two were talking, Xia Yu stood quietly and smiled. When Mr. Dong laid his eyes on her, Shen Yan said, "Mr. Dong, do you think who I brought to see you?"
Of course, Mr. Dong had seen Xia Yu a long time ago, and he was also very excited. He had watched this child grow up. If Xia Yu's father hadn't insisted on working in the catering industry, he would have really wanted to keep their family in his own home. around.
As soon as Shen Yan spoke, Mr. Dong couldn't care about anything else anymore and hurriedly waved to Xia Yu: "Girl, come here and give grandpa a good look. Look at this thin face, he must not eat well."
Xia Yu raised the corners of her lips, threw herself in front of Mr. Dong, put her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, "No way! Grandpa, I miss you so much!" As she spoke, her eyes were already moist.
"I wonder why grandpa doesn't come to see grandpa, but you are coaxing me!" Mr. Dong dotingly patted Xia Yu on the back and said with emotion: "Now that you are all grown up, you are no longer the little girl hanging around grandpa."
"Grandpa, no matter how old I am, am I still your granddaughter?" Xia Yu continued to act coquettishly.
Xia Yu's words made Mr. Dong smile brightly and nodded repeatedly: "I like hearing this. How about over there in S City?"
"It's okay!" Xia Yu replied with a smile. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of other people around her. Everyone saw her expressions were different, so she let go of her hand. Without waiting for Mr. Dong to ask anything else, she took the initiative: " Grandpa, please sit down first.”
Mr. Dong was still holding Xia Yu's hand. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xia Yu had an unusual background. Sure enough, Mr. Dong pointed to the nearest seat on the right and said to Xia Yu: "Xiao Yu, sit here!"
"okay!"
During the brief one-minute greeting upon entering, Mr. Dong's attitude towards Xia Yu made people at the table beat in their hearts, secretly wondering what Xia Yu's background was
After sitting down, Mr. Dong introduced each other to the people at the table. First, he looked across the round table, where sat a middle-aged man wearing a simple white shirt. He had an upper-middle appearance and was full of elegance.
Mr. Dong introduced Xia Yu to everyone: "Xiaoyu, my granddaughter."
Then he introduced others: "This is Liu Hai, the president of Yangfan Group. According to your seniority, you have to call me uncle."
Xia Yu had seen bangs on other occasions, so when she came to Mr. Dong's place, it was natural to be polite. She immediately stood up, smiled politely and respectfully in the direction of bangs, nodded, and said, "Hello, Uncle Hai."
Liu Hai had also heard about Xia Yu for a long time, and suddenly there was an arrogant and domineering secretary around Mr. Yan, who naturally attracted attention. At first, Liu Hai thought she was young and beautiful just because she caught Shen Yan's eyes.
Only now did she realize that she still had this relationship. With a kind smile on her face, Liu Hai did not stand up, but only raised her hand to signal: "Okay, okay, I have heard that Mr. Yan's secretary is very capable, and I would like to find a chance to get to know him. It turns out to be my little niece!”
Xia Yu replied generously: "Xia Yu has long wanted to learn from uncle."
Liu Hai said with a smile: "Uncle is old, Master Yan is the young talent!"
When the conversation came to Shen Yan, he naturally had to add: "What are you talking about, Mr. Liu? I heard that you were coming, so I came over to join in the fun no matter what."
Liu Hai smiled and joked: "So Mr. Yan is doing it for my sake?"
This is a trap. If Shen Yan doesn't answer well, he will easily flatter Liu Hai and lose Mr. Dong's face. As soon as they met, the secret war started so quickly, Xia Yu's heart couldn't help but rise.
When Shen Yan heard this, the smile on his handsome face did not change, and he replied smoothly: "Of course, the things Mr. Dong makes must be all big people. I came here with the mentality of learning, and I will invite you again in the future." Thank you for your advice, Mr. Liu.”
Liu Hai laughed and replied: "Young Master Yan is too polite. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I want to learn from you young people."
The two exchanged blows several times, and they seemed to be exchanging polite greetings, but in fact they were secretly competing with each other.
Xia Yu could hear it, and so could Mr. Dong, but everyone was happy to pretend to be confused. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Mr. Dong would introduce the others to Xia Yu.
The girl who was about the same age as Xia Yu and was sitting next to Mr. Dong stood up and said, "Grandpa, you don't need to introduce us. Xiao Yu and I follow who, right? And Miss Zeng, she is Mr. Yan's future sister-in-law. Can you not recognize me?”
"Both granddaughters are back today. Grandpa, I am so happy. Hahaha, aren't they all acquaintances?" Mr. Dong laughed, and the others also laughed.
Only Zeng Mina smiled very reluctantly, which could be said to be uglier than crying.
But now everyone's attention is not on her, they are all staring at Xia Yu.
At this time, Xia Yu and Dong Qingyuan both stood up and walked to the side to give them a big hug. Dong Qingyuan even more exaggeratedly hugged Xia Yu and spun him around, saying, "Ghost girl, call me, sister, come and listen!"
Xia Yu suddenly had a black line on her head. They were the same age, but Dong Qingyuan was just one month older than Xia Yu, no, 27 days to be exact. Dong Qingyuan reluctantly asked Xia Yu to call her sister. It didn't matter at first. She just called her if she was older. But when the two girls started to grow, Xia Yu was taller than Dong Qingyuan, so she asked her to call her sister again. Not happy anymore.
Dong Qingyuan didn't think anything of it at first, but later he discovered Xia Yu's secret and deliberately teased her. Seeing that her temper remained unchanged after so many years, Xia Yu had no choice but to hum: "Don't, don't, don't turn around, my back hurts..."
Dong Qingyuan's movements were too big and affected her old problems. Xia Yu couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?" Dong Qingyuan quickly put down her concerned question.
Shen Yan hurried over to help Xia Yu: "Sit down quickly!"
Why do you show your courtesy at this time? Could this happen if I gave my bed to my sister last night? Xia Yu didn't appreciate it and glared at Shen Yan fiercely. Then she smiled at Dong Qingyuan and said, "It's nothing, just a bump!"
She didn't mind Xia Yu's glare at Shen Yan, but everyone present saw it. He explained on the spot that Xia Yu's back pain was related to Shen Yan.
We are all adults, right? Young people are full of blood. Everyone understands and laughs it off.
It doesn't matter to other people, but it's different with two people. The first one is Mr. Dong. He originally admired the second young master of the Shen family, but now he looks like a grandpa looking at his grandson-in-law.
The other one is Zeng Mina. She and Xia Yu have always been at odds with each other. Although she slandered Xia Yu everywhere and said that she was having an affair with Shen Yan, she really felt uncomfortable when she really found out that there was something going on between them. Especially Xia Yu actually has a relationship with the Dong family. Seeing how Mr. Dong treated her baby, she was on par with Dong Qingyuan, and her discomfort showed on the spot.
Seeing that Zeng Mina was jealous regardless of the occasion, Zhou Jiamin hurriedly tugged on her clothes. They came here to help Liu Hai do business, and they couldn't act randomly.
If she had listened, she wouldn't have been Zeng Mina. Ever since Shen Yan came in, she had been secretly glancing at him, and she didn't dare to talk to him easily because of so many people. But Xia Yu could still do it. She cast her eyes on Xia Yu and said with a smile: "Miss Xia is just Mr. Yan's secretary in Tengfei, not his personal secretary. Why did you follow this matter about the head office?" come over?"
Sister wants to come over, you don't care about me. Xia Yu got angry when she thought of her pushing her cousin. It was because of Mr. Dong's face that he didn't quarrel with her. Now that she took the initiative to get involved, Xia Yu was rude: "Of course I have no right to interfere with the head office's affairs. Take advantage of it." Can't you please come back to see grandpa, Mr. Yan?"
