Jin Yurong's complexion changed drastically.
No wonder Ye Changqing was cold to him when he went to help pick up this morning. It turned out that Ye Changqing and Zhao Qiuyan were already a couple.
Looking at the two beautiful women beside Ye Changqing, Jin Yurong felt a pang in his heart.
President Zhao saw Jin Yurong looking at the door and he also turned to look. He knew Ye Changqing, who was a regular customer of the company. Later, when Ye Changqing was in prison, he dealt with Jin Yurong. He knew that Ye Changqing had left the house with nothing, so he didn't pay much attention.
Just as he was about to look away, he subconsciously glanced at the two beautiful women. When he saw Zhao Qiuyan clearly, his eyes lit up.
Zhao Qiuyan! The female CEO of Fengnian Group. He had tried many connections but couldn't get a chance to meet her. Today, he unexpectedly met her here.
With Ye Changqing present, he finally had a chance to talk to her. He stood up and walked towards Ye Changqing. "Mr. Ye, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ye Changqing saw an acquaintance and shook hands with a smile. "It turns out to be President Zhao. Long time no see. Why are you here?"
President Zhao hesitated for a moment. "President Jin invited me. Back when you were the boss, I was the one asking you for deposits. Now that you are the general manager, your company's loans have exceeded the warning line."
Only then did Ye Changqing realize that Jin Yurong was also in this restaurant. However, Jin Yurong's affairs had nothing to do with him, so he immediately made his stance clear. "Let's not talk about the past."
President Zhao smiled and nodded, then changed the topic. "Could you introduce your two friends to me?"
Zhao Qiuyan took the initiative to extend her hand. "Hello, I'm Zhao Qiuyan. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Since Ye Changqing knew this person, she had to be polite. Otherwise, with her character, she would never be so courteous to a stranger.
President Zhao was flattered and held Zhao Qiuyan's hand excitedly. "Oh, it's President Zhao. Your name is well - known. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know."
Liu Yuting looked away. She didn't care to know Ye Changqing's acquaintance.
Ye Changqing exchanged a few pleasantries and said, "We're going to have dinner. Let's chat when we have time." Then the three of them went to find a table.
President Zhao watched Ye Changqing leave, feeling reluctant. He wanted to chat more to strengthen their relationship, but unfortunately, there wasn't enough time. With regret, he returned to his seat.
Jin Yurong watched Ye Changqing leave with mixed feelings. She used to think that Ye Changqing would have a hard time finding a wife. She didn't expect that there would be two extremely beautiful women having dinner with him today.
She was a bit jealous and wanted to go up and say hello, but she felt inferior. She really didn't have the courage to stand beside Zhao Qiuyan.
Seeing President Zhao come back, she collected herself and brought up the loan issue again. "President Zhao, please help me. Can you increase the loan by 20%?"
President Zhao was a little tempted. After thinking for a while, he proposed a condition. "If Ye Changqing comes back as the general manager, I'll give you the loan."
"Ah~" Jin Yurong's face changed slightly. "Do you think I'm not as good as Ye Changqing?"
President Zhao showed a hint of regret on his face. "Yes, I really don't have confidence in you."
Jin Yurong was still somewhat unconvinced. "After I took over the company, it expanded ten times. How am I not as good as him?"
President Zhao showed a helpless expression. "Well, then I'll tell you the truth. In the past, when Ye Changqing was the manager, the company's scale wasn't as large as it is now, but the profits were good. I was the one begging him to deposit money. After you became the manager, the company's scale grew, but you're always begging me for loans. How can you compare with him?"
Jin Yurong was stunned as if struck by lightning.
She had always thought that her ability was ten times stronger than Ye Changqing's. Unexpectedly, in others' eyes, she wasn't even qualified to compare with Ye Changqing. For a moment, she couldn't accept it.
President Zhao stood up. "I only came to see you because of Ye Changqing's face in the past. I've pointed out the way. It's up to you whether you listen or not." After saying that, he turned and left.
With President Zhao's departure, the company's last loan option was cut off.
Jin Yurong was devastated. What hit her even harder was President Zhao's words. It turned out that without Ye Changqing, she was nothing.
But she was so blinded by greed that she divorced Ye Changqing. Now the company was on the verge of collapse and could be auctioned off at any time. The key was that even if the company was sold, it couldn't fill the debt hole. She didn't dare to imagine that outcome.
Looking ten meters away, Ye Changqing was chatting and laughing with two beautiful women, looking very content.
And her business was in a desperate situation with no solution in sight. Her heart was like ashes.
Tears silently streamed down her face. These were tears of regret.
If she hadn't divorced, she could just buy bags, go shopping, have beauty treatments, and then sit at home counting money.
Ye Changqing would be completely obedient to her. Even if she wanted a cup of milk tea in the middle of the night, Ye Changqing would go to the 24 - hour milk tea shop to buy it for her.
Now she wanted to remarry even more. She couldn't wait to stand up immediately and go to Ye Changqing to ask for remarriage.
But seeing Zhao Qiuyan, she gave up that idea. Zhao Qiuyan was so beautiful that going would only lead to humiliation.
She had to wait for a more appropriate time.
Ye Changqing finished eating and put down his chopsticks, waiting silently.
He found that Zhao Qiuyan ate very slowly. At this rate, he would have to wait another twenty minutes.
He felt a bit flustered and wanted to leave quickly. Jin Yurong's presence made him feel uneasy and reminded him of unhappy things.
Ding - ling - ling~ Liu Yuting's phone rang.
Liu Yuting put down her chopsticks and picked up the phone with a smile. "Hello, what's up..."
After listening for a few sentences, the smile on Liu Yuting's face disappeared, and her expression gradually became serious.
She put down the phone and said to Zhao Qiuyan, "Wei Yiping wants you to meet him in person. This guy's tone is too big."
Zhao Qiuyan put down her chopsticks. "Since he wants to see me, I'll go."
Liu Yuting looked at Ye Changqing, opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that came to her.
Ye Changqing saw Liu Yuting's expression and knew that the matter might involve him.
What could involve him? He had no idea and could only wait for Liu Yuting to give an explanation.
Zhao Qiuyan had known Liu Yuting for a long time. Seeing her like this, she knew what Liu Yuting meant. "Tell me. He's not an outsider."
Liu Yuting coughed. "I'll tell you. Wei Yiping wants you to go to a KTV to meet him."
Zhao Qiuyan frowned. "He wants me to go to a KTV?"
A KTV is a smoky and chaotic place.
And she was a woman. The other party asking her to go to a KTV clearly had bad intentions.
Ye Changqing frowned. Wei Yiping was a reporter and knew that Zhao Qiuyan was the president of Fengnian Group. He dared to make such a request, which meant the matter was serious.
This time, the withdrawal of the article was far more complicated than he had imagined.
Zhao Qiuyan nodded. "Yes, I feel that the other party isn't sincere. What should we do?"
Zhao Qiuyan slightly furrowed her brows. "I don't believe that a little reporter would dare to have bad intentions towards me. Let's go. Let's go right now."
Liu Yuting stood up. "Let's go. I'll accompany you!"
Ye Changqing also stood up. "Let's go. I'll drive you there. I want to see what Wei Yiping wants to do."
