"Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Gu Erya was stunned for a moment when he heard Ye Mingqian's question. He smiled absently: "Did you see him yesterday?"
"Um."
She nodded.
Gu Erya picked her nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"You know, the fashion show is currently stuck at the beginning, and Aishang has already invested half of the assets. Once this cooperation is aborted, the Huo Group will suffer great losses, but Aishang will suffer the consequences. disaster."
Ye Mingqian made it clear the seriousness of the matter.
"I originally thought that by lying low to Chi Yanchen, he could temporarily put aside personal grudges for the sake of the community of interests, but until yesterday it was a failure."
"So you deliberately forced Achen to meet Li Chengxi during the game stage and then sit down and talk?"
Gu Erya covered her face and wailed: "Miss Ye, you underestimate Chi Yanchen's temper. Fortunately, nothing happened yesterday. If something happened, it would make international headlines in the morning."
"I didn't expect him to be so extreme."
Ye Mingqian smiled bitterly and fell silent.
The moment Li Chengxi fainted and fell to the ground, she met Chi Yanchen's gaze, which was like looking at an ant, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on her head, making her tremble with cold from head to toe.
It was a silent declaration of victory by a victor.
"I didn't lie yesterday." Gu Erya picked up the teapot on the coffee table and refilled two cups of tea. She pushed one cup in front of her and took a sip before continuing: "I really don't know Li Chengxi, but I met him a few years ago. .”
There were footsteps behind Gu Erya, and Gu Yan stepped down holding on to the armrest.
"That year I went to the hospital to help my grandma deliver meals, and I accidentally saw Li Chengxi when I passed by a ward."
He dipped his fingers in tea and quietly wrote the word "pool" on the solid wood coffee table.
Seeing this word, Ye Mingqian's heart skipped a beat.
Chi Yanchen? No, if it were Chi Yanchen, Gu Erya wouldn't deliberately hide it from her sister Gu Yan.
"That's all I can say, I don't know anything else."
That's the point.
Ye Mingqian thanked you clearly: "Sorry to trouble you."
She greeted Gu Yan, who was already in front of her: "I'm sorry, I was so distracted yesterday that I didn't reply to your message in time."
"It's okay, I can guess it. Let's have lunch together at this time?"
Gu Yan pretended not to notice the tea stain that had dried up and had no shape in front of Gu Erya, and warmly invited Ye Mingqian to have lunch, "I hired two chefs from Guangfu last month, but they haven't done much. I eat it at home, and Miss Ye happened to be here today to help me taste it."
"That's fine."
Ye Mingqian, who had nothing to eat but a cup of iced coffee early in the morning, felt her stomach hurt. The most important thing was that she only remembered after drinking that she was still on her period.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to leave the Gu family without bringing something in advance.
The three of them took their seats in the restaurant, and several aunties soon filed in and served the prepared dishes.
Ye Mingqian was a little surprised when she saw there was a steamer: "Morning tea snacks?"
She had already heard about Guangfu's morning tea, but she had never had the chance to try it in H City.
"Take the opportunity to taste it today."
Just as she raised her smile, a tall figure walked in from outside. When she saw the person clearly, her smile suddenly froze.
"Achen?"
Gu Erya stood up and greeted her, "Why are you here, kid? I've been calling you for so many days and you haven't been honored. What a coincidence, Miss Ye is here today, isn't it?"
"That's really unfortunate."
Chi Yanchen gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
Ye Mingqian heard his anger, sighed and put down his chopsticks.
Why is it so difficult to have a good meal? She straightened her clothes and sat down.
Next to her sat Gu Yan, while Chi Yanchen and Gu Erya sat in the opposite row, facing each other.
"Why don't you go to the hospital to take care of your partner?"
As soon as he sat down, Chi Yanchen suddenly got angry.
Ye Mingqian raised his eyes and looked at him, his lips moved slightly, "Li Chengxi is not my partner."
"Aren't you still so arrogant for him? Ye Mingqian, I thought I made it clear enough, our cooperation is suspended."
"Your unilateral decision is invalid." Ye Mingqian frowned slightly, "You assigned me a lot of impossible tasks, and then told me that I could continue to cooperate after completing them. You basically drew a picture for me. The bread that cannot be reached.”
"So what do you want to say?"
Chi Yanchen stared deeply, curled up his fingers and tapped on the table.
"Are you putting all the responsibility on me?"
Ye Ming was choked up, and she asked: "Isn't it?"
"I don't know about your personal grudges with Li Chengxi at all. Meeting you is just a normal process for partners to sit down and discuss the details. After all, why should Aishang and I pay for your personal affairs? I didn't know that Tangtang Huo The prince of our group, who has been in the market for many years, only relies on personal emotions to handle business?"
Facing her accusation, Chi Yanchen's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes became darker.
After venting her inner thoughts, Ye Mingqian felt relieved. What she wanted was an opportunity to sit face to face with Chi Yanchen to analyze and solve the problem.
Chi Yanchen looked at her for a long time, then lowered his eyelashes and said slowly: "You're right."
Gu Erya looked at him in surprise.
Even Ye Mingqian was a little surprised.
Chi Yanchen's implication was that he was wrong, which was an attitude he had never had towards this aloof prince.
"Brother Yanchen, it's been a long time since I saw you subdued."
Gu Yan joked with a smile.
"Even when we quarreled with my brother when we were young, he always bowed his head first. Miss Ye, you are the first person to make brother Yan Chen say such things."
"It's just good luck."
Ye Mingqian twitched the corners of her lips. She had already made long-term preparations for the tug-of-war. She didn't expect that Chi Yanchen would admit her mistake just because of her two words.
"Then can our tripartite cooperation continue?"
she asked Chi Yanchen.
After taking a deep look at Ye Mingqian, Chi Yanchen raised his head imperceptibly.
"A request."
"you say."
As long as the fashion show can get a new start, Chi Yanchen can accept whatever he says.
"I won't meet him unless necessary."
"Can."
Ye Mingqian nodded in agreement without hesitation.
This is already the best compromise ending, she will give up as soon as she sees fit.
Who would have thought that as soon as she agreed, she saw Chi Yanchen giving her a meaningful smile.
"Even if your cooperation with Li Chengxi can continue, Huo Jili will not make this fashion show a success. I wish you success in advance."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Ming stood up lightly.
"Literally." Chi Yanchen turned his chopsticks in his hand, half-smiling: "You don't naively think that I am the only one who wants Shen Qingrong to die, do you?"
"Let's go, see you next time."
He waved to the Gu brothers and sisters, leaving Ye Mingqian with a background and leaving calmly.
