"Then I'm afraid you're falling behind."

Xu Ye smiled and shook his head.

"Almost everyone in our company already knows about this. If you don't believe it, you can check it out yourself."

After saying this, no one else at the negotiating table dared to breathe a word.

They didn't know what their boss was talking about, and besides contract negotiations, they didn't know how to talk.

This silence lasted for a full three minutes. During this period, the two of them looked at the contract in their hands and looked at each other from time to time.

There was a tacit understanding that neither of them took the initiative to speak, as if this was a psychological tug of war.

In the end, Xu Ye couldn't bear it anymore and spread the contract in his hand on the negotiation table.

"If Mr. Lu is still interested in continuing this project with our company, the conditions can be discussed again. It's just that it's a bit late today. Let's talk another day and say goodbye."

The negotiation ended hastily. All Xu's people left. Lu Jincheng still sat motionless on his chair, and those around him did not dare to speak.

Lu Jincheng seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while he stood up and left with others.

Afterwards, he did not send anyone to investigate whether what Xu Ye said was true or false. Although he was very anxious, what Xu Ye said might be fraudulent.

Lu Jincheng made a call.

The phone rang for a long time, so long that Lu Jincheng even thought that the person on the other end of the phone wouldn't answer. Then the phone was picked up and an impatient male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Lu Jincheng, why are you calling me? You'd better call me if you really have something to do. If you have nothing to do, go find your Ji Zimo!"

As soon as Qi Huaian answered the phone, he said in a crackling voice that he and Lu Jincheng had nothing good to say, and he didn't know what Lu Jincheng was calling because he had a convulsion at this time.

Lu Jincheng listened quietly to the other end of the phone scolding him without getting annoyed. He didn't speak until the other end of the phone stopped talking.

"I heard that Ji Yao has a boyfriend."

These words were like thunder on the ground, and the other person did not speak for a long time.

"There's something wrong with you, why are you so crazy? How could Ji Yao have a boyfriend!"

The always cynical playboy couldn't hide the panic in his voice after hearing that Ji Yao had a boyfriend. Lu Jincheng felt a strange feeling spreading in his heart.

"I don't know. Xu Ye told me this. I thought you knew."

After Lu Jincheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

The phone call just now was a test. Qi Huaian has always been very concerned about Ji Yao's movements. If Ji Yao really has a new boyfriend, it is impossible for Qi Huaian not to know about it, so this matter is most likely to be false.

Lu Jincheng thought of this, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and even his walking pace was much lighter than before.

From the shock and heartache when he just heard that Ji Yao had a boyfriend, to the feeling of relief now, this change of mood was something he would never admit even if he noticed it.

Qi Huaian on the other end of the phone was holding the phone tightly. He wanted to call Ji Yao directly to ask what was going on, but he felt that these things must not be clear through the screen.

After much thought, he decided to go directly to Ji Yao.

Qi Huaian personally drove from the Qi Group building to Xu's downstairs and sent a message to Ji Yao that he was waiting for her downstairs to get off work.

Ji Yao was a little surprised, but still agreed to his invitation to meet. Meng Yang still stayed close to Ji Yao as usual. Due to Xu Ye's order, Ji Yao did not resist.

In the evening, Meng Yang sent Ji Yao downstairs, and as soon as he left the company building, he felt a very unkind look.

Meng Yang raised his head as if feeling something, and saw a luxury car parked downstairs of the company. The door of the luxury car was leaning against Qi Huaian, who was slender and had a bohemian temperament.

There was no smile on Qi Huaian's face, and he stared at Meng Yang so hard that Meng Yang couldn't help but shiver behind his back. He hurriedly said goodbye to Ji Yao and left.

Ji Yao didn't pay attention to this. After saying goodbye to Meng Yang, she went to Qi Huaian and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

Qi Huaian didn't answer the question, looked at Ji Yao, then looked at Meng Yang who left in a hurry, and sneered.

"This is your new boyfriend?"

Perhaps she didn't expect Qi Huaian to ask such a straightforward question, Ji Yao was a little stunned, and she quickly understood that Qi Huaian must have misunderstood something.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ji Yao told Qi Huaian the whole story, and Qi Huaian finally felt relieved.

When he first heard Lu Jincheng say such words, he thought that Ji Yao really had a new boyfriend who appeared out of nowhere, so he rushed over in a hurry, but he didn't expect that all this was actually a trap set up by Xu Ye.

Qi Huaian thought carefully about why Xu Ye suddenly proposed to perform such a scene. Was he trying to see clearly the relationship between Ji Yao and Lu Jincheng?

Or do you have other intentions?

As a businessman, he deduced it for Xu Ye in his mind and quickly guessed Xu Ye's intention.

When the green light came on, Qi Huaian stepped on the accelerator. Thinking that Xu Ye might just use Ji Yao as a pawn to use her, consume her, or even tease her, he couldn't help but increase his strength.

The speed of the car was getting faster and faster, and it wasn't until Ji Yao called him a second time that he came back to his senses.

"I guess he wanted to see if Lu Jincheng still has feelings for you. You work under him and are an employee in his name. If Lu Jincheng really still has feelings for you, he might use this to blackmail you. Let’s go to Lu Jincheng.”

Qi Huaian said it in an understatement, but these simple words were something Ji Yao, who was not a businessman, had never thought of.

She thought Xu Ye was just here to watch the show and help her, but he actually had such deep logic.

"This is so unfair to you. He has been using you as a pawn. Why should you follow his wishes? And even though it's just an act, it might have an impact on your reputation."

Qi Huaian didn't say anything, so I wonder if Meng Yang has any other thoughts about Ji Yao.

But whether there is or not, he will not allow such a thing to happen.

It is already very difficult for the heroine to be deliberately exploited by Xu Ye. Thinking about Xu Ye's behavior is disgusting.

"I'll take you to have a meal later and explain this matter to him."

Ji Yao nodded, this was beyond her expectation, but she had not planned to play out the scene well, and was not prepared to keep Lu Jincheng away from her in this way.

It would be nice if we could take this opportunity to get Xu Ye to give up this plan.

After eating, Qi Huaian called and asked Xu Ye's current location, and then drove Ji Yao there.

The location was a high-end restaurant, and Xu Ye probably came here to socialize.

The two of them went in together and soon saw Xu Ye toasting at the wine table.
