Jin Yurong gave a thumbs - up: "Great. It's settled in twenty minutes."
Wang Yiming was a little smug. "It's a big deal for others, but a piece of cake for me."
In fact, he didn't know Liu Yuanshan either. He contacted him through a friend. But he had money and gave a 10,000 - yuan lighter as a gift, and then it was done.
To keep Jin Yurong quiet, he pressed the answer button. To let Jin Yurong hear clearly, he used the speaker mode.
Liu Yuanshan's voice came from the phone: "Hello?"
Wang Yiming said with a smile, "Hey, it's me. Have you fixed the appointment time?"
Liu Yuanshan was furious. "I've been fired. How could I arrange an appointment for you? Wang Yiming, you got me into this mess!"
Wang Yiming's expression changed slightly. "Weren't you fine when I left? What's going on?"
Liu Yuanshan roared, "It's all because of you. You made me deal with Ye Changqing, and now I've lost my job because of it. Do you know who he is?"
Wang Yiming was confused and said carelessly, "Isn't he just an ex - convict, a loser who is divorced and has a kid?"
Liu Yuanshan was angry when he heard this. "You lied to me. I trusted you too much, and now I'm in trouble because of you. Ye Changqing is the boyfriend of our CEO, Zhao Qiuyan! I got fired because of your stupid request. What are you going to do about it?"
What?
Wang Yiming and Jin Yurong exclaimed almost simultaneously.
Ye Changqing is Zhao Qiuyan's boyfriend? How is that possible?
This news was more unbelievable than the sun rising in the west.
Wang Yiming coughed. "Manager Liu, are you joking? Ye Changqing just got out of prison. It's hard for him to find a girlfriend. How could he possibly hook up with your beautiful CEO?"
Jin Yurong also said, "Yes. He's an ex - convict. I divorced him because I didn't like him. How could a beautiful woman like Ms. Zhao be interested in him?"
She would rather believe that the sun rises at night than believe that Ye Changqing is Zhao Qiuyan's boyfriend.
The disparity in their statuses was too great.
She had seen Zhao Qiuyan before. She was extremely beautiful, like a fairy. And she was now the CEO of a multi - billion - dollar company.
When Jin Yurong saw her, she felt ashamed of herself.
How could such a woman be Ye Changqing's girlfriend?
Liu Yuanshan was so angry that he had nowhere to vent. "I saw it with my own eyes. Why would I lie to you? I have no feud with you. Why did you make me provoke Ye Changqing? Now I'm fired. What are you going to do?"
Jin Yurong still couldn't believe it. "Is what you said true? Did you really see it with your own eyes? Are you sure you heard it right?"
Liu Yuanshan was so angry that he wanted to explode. "I'm fired, and so are the security captain and two security guards. How could this be wrong?"
Jin Yurong and Wang Yiming were both stunned.
Since Liu Yuanshan didn't get a response on the phone, he raised his voice in anger and demanded compensation. After talking for a long time and getting no response, he cursed and hung up the phone.
Jin Yurong's face was ashen. "It's over. Everything is over. Ye Changqing has become Zhao Qiuyan's boyfriend, and the cooperation is completely ruined. My Changqing Company will have no place in Songjiang in the future. How could this happen? How could that loser climb so high?"
Wang Yiming's face also looked bad, and his eyes flickered as he looked at Jin Yurong.
If Ye Changqing really became Zhao Qiuyan's boyfriend, he wouldn't dare to marry Jin Yurong, or he would be making an enemy of Ye Changqing. The Wang family couldn't afford such an enemy.
Jin Yurong suddenly thought of something. "Do you think there's a possibility that Ye Changqing lied to Zhao Qiuyan? Otherwise, how could he climb up to the Zhao family?"
Smack!
Wang Yiming suddenly realized and slapped the table. "It must be like this. He must have hidden his identity as an ex - convict and the fact that he's divorced with a child. Otherwise... even if he hid it, it's still impossible. Maybe he even made up a high - profile identity for himself, like being from a wealthy family or the son of a high - ranking official."
Jin Yurong immediately felt that she had found the reason. "Yes, it must be like this. Let's go and expose Ye Changqing's true face to Zhao Qiuyan. If Ms. Zhao is grateful, the cooperation will be secured."
Wang Yiming stood up. "Let's go. Let's go now. We can't let that loser succeed."
At noon, Ye Changqing was having lunch in a restaurant.
Zhao Qiuyan called, "Where are you?"
Ye Changqing swallowed the food in his mouth. "Do you need the car?"
As a driver, he didn't forget his duty.
Zhao Qiuyan was silent for a moment and said, "I want to invite you to dinner. We had a misunderstanding when we first met. Let's have a meal and get to know each other again."
Her aim was to get to know Ye Changqing better. If Ye Changqing was good enough, she would just follow her grandfather's wish.
Ye Changqing was a bit speechless. It was really bad timing. "Sorry, I'm having lunch."
Zhao Qiuyan secretly blamed Ye Changqing for being so unromantic. Couldn't he just lie?
She had to adjust her plan. "After lunch, I'll treat you to a cup of coffee. Of course, if you prefer tea, having tea is fine too."
Worried about being rejected again, she gave an extra option.
Ye Changqing looked at the time on his phone and said regretfully, "I don't have time to have coffee with you. Maybe next time."
Zhao Qiuyan felt a bit embarrassed. It was the first time in her life that she had taken the initiative, but she had been rejected twice.
After being stunned for a long time, she still couldn't get over it.
"Can you give me a reason?"
She was curious why this man rejected her.
Ye Changqing scratched his head. "The century - old ginseng will arrive in an hour. I'm going to treat your grandfather. Your grandfather didn't want me to tell you."
Zhao Qiuyan frowned. Her grandfather was always like this. Now that she knew, she had to be there. "Where are you having lunch? I'll drive to pick you up."
Ye Changqing put the last bite of food in his mouth. "I'm going back to the company now. Come and pick me up downstairs."
Zhao Qiuyan hung up the phone, picked up her small bag, and went to take the elevator.
Ye Changqing came out of the restaurant and walked towards the entrance of the Fengnian Company building across the street.
As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw two familiar people: Jin Yurong and Wang Yiming.
He couldn't help frowning. These two people were always trouble, and now they showed up again.
Jin Yurong and Wang Yiming had been talking to the security guard at the entrance for a long time but still didn't get a chance to see Zhao Qiuyan.
Seeing Ye Changqing, Jin Yurong started shouting as if she saw a thief. "Ye Changqing, you're doomed. I'm going to expose your true identity to Ms. Zhao. You're an ex - convict, yet you want to marry into the Zhao family. Dream on!"
Ye Changqing was furious. They were divorced, and they should live their own lives. He hadn't settled old scores with her yet, and Jin Yurong still had the nerve to interfere in his life. "Jin Yurong, I'm busy later. I don't have time to deal with you. But I warn you, don't be stupid!"
Jin Yurong thought Ye Changqing was scared. She thought she was on the right track. "You're the stupid one. Wait. Once I see Ms. Zhao, you're finished."
A luxury car slowly drove over.
It stopped beside Ye Changqing, and the car door automatically opened.
Zhao Qiuyan called out, "Get in the car."
