Chapter 27

What Color for Shen Yanqing’s Gunny Sack?

In the face of Nan Ge’s “provocation”, Nan Zhe showed no mercy and directly blacklisted her WeChat.

His phone was thrown onto the table with a clang.

On the sofa, his friend, who was drinking coffee, almost spat it out in shock.

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you fine just now? Who provoked you again?”

Nan Zhe placed one hand on his waist and paced back and forth in anger. He had lost his noble aura.

A few seconds later, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised one hand and swore. “Let me make it clear, Shen Yanqing! I will never forgive you for stealing my sister!”

“…So you’re not going to the banquet tomorrow?”

“Yes, I’m going!” Nan Zhe snorted. “Why not?”

Hearing his tone, his friend was a little suspicious. “With your current erratic mental state, are you sure you won’t fight with him tomorrow?”

Nan Zhe scoffed.

“Am I that kind of person?”

“…”

Everyone knew that the young master of the Nan family in Jiang City was raised with his grandfather since he was young. He had been pampered and raised to be indifferent. When he was in school, he was a school bully and arrogant.

Now that he was 25 or 26 years old, all the young men in the wealthy circle of Jiang City had to give Nan Zhe some face.

They had no choice. Nan Zhe was not the sort to play nice.

Whoever dared to give him a look would be slapped in the face in the next second.

She happened to have a completely different personality from Shen Yanqing.

Shen Yanqing was gentle and polite, with almost no negative comments in the circle.

As for Nan Zhe, even though he had the reputation of being cocky and hardly saw eye to eye with anyone, he could not be said to be entirely supercilious. In general, people did not have any problems with him either.

It was mainly because not many people dared to speak ill of him.

“I have to meet this asshole myself.”

After saying that, he thought for a few seconds and turned to ask his friend, “I wonder what color Shen Yanqing prefers for his gunny sack.”

“What’s wrong? Do you like Shen Yanqing too?”

Nan Zhe immediately spat. “Nonsense!”

“I want to be prepared! If he’s easy to talk to, everything will be fine. If not, I’ll put a sack on him, drag him out and pummel him.”

“…”

——

The next day, at night.

Several media outlets were already waiting outside the banquet hall.

This banquet was very large. Putting everything else aside, many big shots from the top 500 companies in the world had come.

Shen Yanqing was undoubtedly one of them.

In the banquet hall, Nan Zhe stood at the side with a glass of wine in his hand, his gaze lingering on the door.

His friends stood at the side and chatted about the investment, wanting to pull Nan Zhe in.

As they chatted, they realized that the protagonist was not listening to them at all.

“Hey, Nan Zhe. What are you looking at?”

“Are you waiting for someone?”

“I’m talking to you about something big.”

“Just chat and don’t bother me.” Nan Zhe slapped his hand off his shoulder and stared at the door without blinking or moving like a stone.

They retracted their gazes and whispered among themselves.

“I don’t understand. Who is he waiting for?”

“Look at how serious he is. Is he waiting for his girlfriend?

“…”

At the same time, outside the banquet hall, Shen Yanqing hid from the media and entered the venue quietly.

He only brought two people with him today, Assistant Yuan and a male secretary.

This was also the standard configuration for him to attend banquets. He kept a low profile and never brought a female companion.

Inside the banquet hall, it was warmer than outside. As soon as Shen Yanqing entered, he took off his outer coat and handed it to his secretary.

“Have you seen Chris?”

His fever had subsided yesterday, but his cold had not completely recovered. When he spoke, his voice was still a little nasal.

This was an old friend who had worked with Huasheng Group for many years.

Under such circumstances, Assistant Yuan and his secretary were on high alert. They kept their eyes and ears open.

The two of them subconsciously glanced at everyone around them, looking for their target.

Suddenly, Assistant Yuan saw someone and called out softly, “President Shen, look over there!”

On close observation, Assistant Yuan could not hide the excitement in his voice.

Shen Yanqing thought that he had found Chris. When he looked up, he made eye contact with another pair of eyes.

...

They seemed a little familiar.

However, it was not Chris.

Their eyes met and sparks flew.

The other party seemed to have been looking at him with a burning gaze.

Nan Zhe narrowed his eyes. The next second, he put on a smile and walked forward with a glass of wine. “President Shen of Huasheng Group?”

“Uh huh.” Shen Yanqing only saw him clearly when he got closer. He nodded and said, “Hello.”

“It’s indeed President Shen. I didn’t recognize you at the airport yesterday morning, but I keep feeling like I’ve seen you somewhere.

“On second thought, I believe we once met at some conference a couple of years ago. I wonder if President Shen still remembers me.”

A certain someone put on a fake smile the entire time. It seemed like he was trying to strike up a conversation, but in fact, every word he said seemed to be thorny and sinister.

“I’m sorry. My memory is indeed a little bad.” Shen Yanqing smiled apologetically.

“However, it’s indeed not the first time I’ve seen you. If I remember correctly, you should be Nan Ge’s friend, right?”

...

Hearing this form of address, Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows.

What bloody friend?

He thought for a moment and asked, “Did Nan Ge tell you?”

“Sort of.”

Nan Zhe shrugged. “Then I’m sorry. The two of us… are not just friends.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly saw the shock in Shen Yanqing’s eyes.

When he saw this, he could not help but laugh. A sense of pleasure rose in his heart. “President Shen seems to be a little curious about my relationship with Nan Ge.”

He thought that a sanctimonious person like Shen Yanqing, no matter what he did in private, would definitely do a very good job on the surface. He would not easily tear off the mask of a gentleman and would not admit it in person.

Unexpectedly, that person suddenly nodded. “Not just a little. I’m very curious.”

“I’m sorry. I know it might not be appropriate to say this, but I really don’t want to lie to you.”

As if afraid that Nan Zhe could not hear her, Shen Yanqing repeated, “I’m very curious about your relationship with Nan Ge.”

Whether it was intentional or not, his voice was louder than before.

Nan Zhe, “…”

After Shen Yanqing finished speaking, his gaze did not leave him. It was as if he was determined to get an answer.

The two of them fought silently. Shen Yanqing pressed forward step by step and killed Nan Zhe before he could react.

However, Nan Zhe was not to be trifled with. He raised his hand and gestured for the waiter to come forward.

“Actually, this is a small secret between us. Normally, I don’t talk about it.” Nan Zhe picked up a glass of wine from the tray and handed it to him. “President Shen, if you want to know, why don’t you give me some face and have a drink first?”

He had heard that Shen Yanqing did not drink outside and never made an exception.

Seeing this, Assistant Yuan, who was behind him, immediately stepped forward and displayed his professionalism.

“I’m sorry, Sir. President Shen really can’t drink. Why don’t I drink on his behalf, okay?”

Nan Zhe replied, “What do you think?”
