President, Please Be Careful
147

As soon as Zhao Youlin said that, the expression of secretary Ye Yan, who was standing behind her, darkened again.

Ye Yan, on the contrary, had no special reaction. The smile on his face did not change as he said in a deep voice, "Well, it seems like you have a point."

Hearing Ye Yan's reply, Zhao Youulin was actually a little surprised. Ye Yan's compromise did not make him relaxed at all, instead, he grew increasingly tense, wary of Ye Yan's unexpected move.

As expected, after they discussed cooperation for some time, when Zhao Yulin finally pushed the prepared documents in the beginning in front of Ye Yan again, he said, he smiled lightly and said something completely unrelated to cooperation.

“Now it's late. It's time to go to lunch, I wonder if you're willing to give me the pleasure of going to lunch with me, Youlin?"

As soon as Ye Yan said that, the people in the room were dumbfounded.

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment, but she appeared in the next second. He politely and selflessly rejected her. “This is a friendly invitation, Mr. Ye. I shouldn't have turned you down, but at an hour like this, I usually have to go home and have lunch with my son. I'm sure you won't compete with a kid, right?”

Zhao Youulin did not just use Joy as an excuse to politely decline Ye Yan's invitation, but she also implied to Ye Yan that she was a single mother who already had children and had no intention of finding a stepfather for her child for now. No matter why this man was trying to approach her, he hoped that it would be better for him to throw away the intentions that he should not have done so that he would not end up humiliating the two of them.

How could Ye Yan not understand what Zhao Youlin implied? However, he was not the type to give up easily. Moreover, he hoped that Zhao Youlin would reject him.

Ye Yan knew better than anyone that perhaps in the eyes of another woman, he was the third son of the Ye family, his identity represented supreme wealth and superiority. Although to this woman here, he was just an ordinary man. And based on the current situation, he assumed that not only did he classify him as an ordinary person, but he might as well include him in his no-contact list.

However, since he had already guessed that Zhao Youlin would reject him, Ye Yan was naturally also prepared for this. After she smiled, she slowly said, “Youlin, it's enviable that you and Joy are still as close as ever. Right, I shouldn't be competing with a kid. However, you get to meet with Joy every day, while it's not easy for me to see you. Well then, I still hope you give me a chance to have lunch with me, is that okay?"

Now that Ye Yan had said it like that, Zhao Youlin would not be good if she continued to reject him. However, she was reluctant to passively agree to her invitation like this, especially when she saw Ye Yan's overly charming long and slender eyes, she had just gotten a bad feeling about this.

As if he had seen the doubt in Zhao Youlin's eyes, Ye Yan slightly lowered his eyes, looking extremely disappointed. “Last time when we were at the old master's banquet, you clearly promised to dance with me, but I never saw you again, even until the end of the banquet. I'd just like to invite you to lunch now, will you refuse me too?”

Zhao Youlin was speechless. What did he mean by his promise to dance with her? He doesn't say anything to her all the time. He was the one who said unilaterally that he was willing to wait. It was his choice to wait. How could he blame her now in the end?

Zhao Youlin moved the corner of her mouth. He was about to make a sarcastic comment when he heard the chief secretary next to him cough lightly, stopping his words in time. “Manager, since Mr. Ye kindly invited you, you should have lunch with him. We can talk about the contract later.”

Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows. As he glanced at the head secretary reflectively, he was met with a meaningful gaze that contained an implicit message.

This is how the world works. If you want to obtain something, you will have to pay a price equivalent to that, not to mention that it is just lunch together, so Zhao Youlin really has nothing to lose. Given his status today, no matter how brazen Ye Yan was, he would not dare to do something that did not suit him.

Zhao Youlin got a hint from the chief secretary. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Ye Yan, who was waiting across the table for his decision. He smiled politely and said, "Then, I will humbly accept your invitation."

Ye Yan seemed to be expecting such a result. The smile on his face was still gentle, but a hint of excitement rarely seen in his eyes was faintly visible. "That's great. It's getting late. Let's go now. I've had someone book a table at Jing Ting Restaurant.”

After hearing that, Zhao Youlin's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that this fellow was really ready. He even found out that he liked Japanese cuisine and ordered a table early. He had clearly predicted that he would compromise. He's a wolf in sheep's blood.

No matter how unhappy Zhao Youlin was, after all, this matter had already been arranged.

When a group of people walk out of an exclusive elevator, they don't realize that they're actually grabbing people's attention.

“Hey, the one over there seems to be the new general manager, right? She's so pretty."

"That's fine. He is much better than the vixen in the development department who looks polite and pure, but actually pela**.”

"That's fine. Just because the woman was quite attractive and she was a relative of the president, she kept flirting with the man in the office. Yet he still treated everyone with a condescending attitude. I've been so sick of him.”

“The man next to the general manager was very handsome, especially when he smiled, he looked very gentle. Who her? Could she be the general manager's girlfriend?"

“He looks like..Oh, I remember him. I think he is a client who came here today to talk about the contract. I heard that he's someone from the Ye family."

“Family Ye? The famous Ye family in Sharnork? In this case, the handsome man was the rich son of a wealthy family. She's a complete package!”

“Clean your saliva. Didn't you see how gentle he was when he talked and laughed with the general manager along the way? She may really be the general manager's girlfriend.”

“Well, it is true that in the real world, the prince always ends up with the princess. Cinderella is in the fairy tale. But to be honest, the general manager and the man looked perfectly suited to each other. What a glamorous couple they made.”

A group of girls gathered to see Zhao Youlin leave with the others. They were so focused in their conversation that they did not notice in an inconspicuous corner not far from them, a figure was watching Zhao Youlin and Ye Yan leave the company also in silence. His eyes flashed with a trace of danger and blatant.
