"Ah!"
Suddenly hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Shen Yuyan was jolted back from her previous excitent.
She let out a soft exclamation and hurriedly lifted her wrist to check her watch, only to find that it was already half-past five.
This startled her and she instinctively pulled Zhu Fei’s arm again, urgently saying, "This is bad, we’re going to be late, Zhu Fei, we need to leave right now!"
As she spoke, Shen Yuyan then turned to Aunt Wang, with a tone slightly apologetic,
"Aunt Wang, I’m sorry, Zhu Fei and I have a dinner engagent later, and my grandfather might need your help taking care of him."
"Hehe, Yu Yan, what are you talking about? Why are you being polite with ? Go ahead if you’re busy, don’t worry, I’ll be here to take care of the old master."
Aunt Wang was very amiable; she waved her hands and laughed after hearing Shen Yuyan’s words.
"Okay, thank you so much, Aunt Wang."
Shen Yuyan smiled and nodded her head, and without even ti to change her clothes, she pulled Zhu Fei and rushed out the door.
...
Inside the red BMW, Zhu Fei watched Shen Yuyan’s near-speeding driving and couldn’t help but give a wry smile,
"Sister Shen, didn’t I tell you well in advance that I would take care of this matter for you? Do you really need to rush like this?"
"Yeah, Zhu Fei, I know, and I appreciate your willingness to help, but this matter is really important to , so I would rather handle it myself."
Shen Yuyan drove as she spoke.
Clearly, even to this point, she had not taken Zhu Fei’s previous words seriously, remaining as determined as initial.
Seeing this, Zhu Fei sighed helplessly in his heart, choosing not to explain anything further and simply sat quietly in the passenger seat, lost in thought.
About twenty minutes later, the red BMW finally arrived at the Bright Moon Club.
When Shen Yuyan parked the car, she walked towards the club’s lobby with Zhu Fei, and they imdiately spotted Zhao Jing who had been waiting for a while.
At the sa ti, Zhao Jing also saw Shen Yuyan and Zhu Fei.
She looked surprised at first, not expecting that the friend Shen Yuyan ntioned just now was actually Zhu Fei.
But she quickly regained her composure and hurriedly approached with an anxious face, not having ti to greet Zhu Fei, she urgently said to Shen Yuyan,
"Sister Shen, Shui Xiong has already pushed several tis. He said if you don’t arrive soon, then we can forget about the business we were going to discuss."
"What? Did Shui Xiong really say that?"
Hearing Zhao Jing’s words, Shen Yuyan’s pretty face imdiately changed.
"Let’s go! We can talk as we walk."
Without ti to think further, Shen Yuyan quickly started walking with Zhao Jing towards the lobby ahead, listening to Zhao Jing’s report.
And Zhu Fei could only follow behind the two won, his face etched with a bitter smile.
"Yeah, Sister Shen, Shui Xiong indeed said that, and he seems very displeased with your being late this ti, and furthermore..."
As the two won walked and talked, Zhao Jing’s words suddenly paused, and her face showed a hint of difficulty.
"Mm, Little Jing, what’s the matter? And what exactly?"
Shen Yuyan turned her head, feeling a hint of suspicion as she noticed Zhao Jing’s unusual behavior and asked.
Zhao Jing hesitated for a mont, but eventually replied, "And I just saw that Shui Xiong didn’t co alone. He seems to have brought a young man with him. The way Shui Xiong treats that young man, he seems to hold him in high respect."
"Oh, is that so? Why didn’t Shui Xiong ntion this to before? Do you know that person’s na?"
Shen Yuyan furrowed her brows, her expression growing slightly darker.
Because intuitively, she felt that this dinner might not be so simple after all, and the outco could very well be unpredictable, just as she had feared earlier.
"I don’t know his exact na, but I heard Shui Xiong addressing him as Mr. Bai or sothing."
Zhao Jing paused slightly, worry fleeting across her face as she continued, "Sister Shen, I don’t think either of those two are good news. Maybe we should just go back, huh?"
Shen Yuyan shook her head and gave a wry smile, "Little Jing, it’s not that I want to get entangled with these people, but our company is really in need of their help right now."
"No matter what, I still want to give it another try."
Shen Yuyan paused, furrowing her brows again as she thought about the so-called Mr. Bai whom Zhao Jing had just ntioned.
Suddenly, a light seed to flash across Shen Yuyan’s mind, as if she had rembered sothing, which once again altered her expression.
"Mr. Bai? Mr. Bai? Could it be the son of the godfather from the entire Northeast underworld? The notorious playboy known as Mr. Bai Pojun?"
"Whoosh!"
The mont Shen Yuyan uttered these words, her and Zhao Jing’s hurried steps ca to an abrupt halt.
They exchanged a glance, each reading a deep shock mixed with profound fear in each other’s eyes.
Because both had heard of the so-called playboy Mr. Bai Pojun, a utterly perverse and tyrannical scoundrel, rotten to the core.
There were rumors that over a dozen innocent girls were violated by Bai Pojun, leading them down a path of no return.
Moreover, Bai Pojun, relying on his powerful background, committed countless misdeeds, and it was said even a female governnt official had suffered at his hands.
With such a despicable tyrant, how could Shen Yuyan not be nervous and wary about having to dine with him?
"Heh, Mr. Shen, waiting for you is never easy."
Just as Shen Yuyan and Zhao Jing hesitated internally, contemplating whether they should temporarily leave, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the hall of the club nearby.
The man was tall, dressed in a luxurious Armani suit, exuding the aura of a successful individual.
However, his eyes bore a hint of gloom and dissatisfaction as he looked towards Shen Yuyan.
Upon seeing this middle-aged man, Shen Yuyan took a deep breath, forcibly calming her unsettled heart, and her face adopted a professional, polite smile.
"I apologize for the wait, Manager Shui. I had so urgent matters to attend to, which is why I’ve arrived late. How about I personally offer you a drink later as an apology?"
It had to be said, Shen Yuyan, after many years in the business world, had her own way of handling certain situations.
In just a few sentences, she conveyed the reason for her tardiness without appearing abrupt or disrespectful.
However, in response to Shen Yuyan’s explanation, Shui Xiong seed sowhat unconvinced.
His lips curled into a mocking sneer as he said,
"Mr. Shen, those words are of no use to . Today, we have an esteed guest arriving. Anything you’d like to say, you’d better save it for him later."
