Yushao began, “The formulation of the new regulations will be a great change in the history of the Independent State, and great achievers don’t get bogged down in details. Moreover, I believe that Miss Nie handles things calmly and professionally, with the right balance, and she is not unreasonable. Besides, I think the Lord’s actions are largely for her benefit. If we discuss it with her properly, I’m sure Miss Nie will understand.”
Lin Que, listening on the side, was stunned. “Calm, balanced, reasonable? How could you have such a terrifying misconception about that woman?”
Before Yushao could speak again, Si Yehan interrupted, “There’s no need to bring up this method again.”
Yushao said, “But, my Lord…”
Si Yehan said, “Perhaps she can understand, something I cannot achieve.”
With Si Yehan saying this, Yushao couldn’t say much more.
Listening to Si Yehan and Yushao’s conversation, Lin Que stood silently on the side, speechless.
Who gave you the misconception that the female demon would understand???
Your thoughts have been wrong from the beginning!
At this moment, Si Yehan’s phone rang, displaying Vice Chairman Qin’s name.
Lin Que glanced at the phone screen and was surprised. “Why is Qin Zong looking for Brother Nine?”
Si Yehan briefly scanned the name displayed on the phone screen and answered the call, “Hello, Vice Chairman Qin.”
“Director Si, are you in Tian Shui City today?”
“Yes, I just arrived in the evening.”
“Great, I’ve booked a restaurant. Let me treat you to a welcome dinner tomorrow!”
“You’re too kind.”
“Hehe, it’s rare to have such outstanding young talents at the Arbitration Council, and I, as a person, love to make friends with capable people like Director Si. It’s settled then, see you tomorrow, and Director Si must come.”
“Of course.”
After the call, Yushao said, “Before we could take any action, Vice Chairman Qin has come knocking. It seems that, compared to Yin Heng, Vice Chairman Qin leans more towards you, my Lord.”
Lin Que asked, “Is Qin Zong not smart? After all, Brother Nine is Lady Rong’s biological son, so he should be a safer bet than an adopted son, right?”
“Brother Nine, are you going?” Lin Que inquired.
Si Yehan remained silent, staring at his phone, seemingly lost in thought.
Naturally, he had to go, but…
…
The next day, at the most upscale banquet venue in Tian Shui City.
At the head table sat Vice Chairman Qin Zong, who was not alone. On his left sat a slender and exceptionally attractive young lady.
As Lin Que stood at the entrance, he was momentarily stunned when he spotted the people inside.
“Oh my! Why is Miss Qin here too? Isn’t this supposed to be a welcome dinner? It looks more like a… blind date!” Lin Que muttered to himself.
Si Yehan also hadn’t expected Qin Zong to bring Miss Qin along. He hesitated for a moment, his brows furrowing imperceptibly.
“Nephew Si, you’ve finally arrived. Come on in, let me introduce someone to you!” Qin Zong warmly welcomed Si Yehan and led him to his daughter’s side. “Nephew Si, let me introduce you to my daughter, Qin Xiyuan!”
“Mr. Si, nice to meet you. I’ve heard about you for a long time and always wanted to meet you. When my father mentioned that you were in Tian Shui City, I begged him to bring me here. I hope you don’t mind?” Qin Xiyuan smiled and spoke gracefully.
