Chapter 144: What a meeting

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

Zhang Mei and Huang Ranxia were both shellshocked out of their thought bubble.

They said they were here to meet President Ye, yet in the end Xu Ninggong was actually familiar with this President Ye, and even had some unspeakable history together.

Neville was completely cast to the side, but he was enjoying the show with a sly smile.

Clearly they knew each other and even had some unspeakable history together.

Huang Ranxia was the quickest to recover as she quickly approached Neville and greeted him saying how she saw him in the hallway before and was uncertain.

“Damn it, outside, outside. We’ll talk about it outside.” Ye Qing couldn’t stand those fiery stares from his juniors, especially those from the females, who were looking at him like a panda, a colored panda.

Ye Qing made a please gesture and took the lead in heading out. Xu Ninggong first greeted Mister Neville, then followed out with a ‘humph’.

The restaurant outside also had a small bar, which at the moment was only partially filled with foreigners. Ye Qing brought Xu Ninggong here and even ordered two martinis; shaken, not stirred.

“Nicely done, ‘President’ Ye.” Xu Ninggong sat down and raised her glass, but was obviously still pissed: “Last night I was still worried about your career, yet you gave me quite the surprise.”

“Since you were sitting next to me last night, then why didn’t you come forth?” Ye Qing didn’t answer, rather, he asked another question.

“Back then my brain was in a complete mess, who would’ve thought that I would meet you there? Plus, with you girlfriend nearby, you think I would admit it?” Xu Ninggong chewed her lips: “Didn’t your employee say that you drive a Ford Mondeo? Are you looking to learn how to be low key?”

“Mondeo?” Ye Qing found this quite strange: “Have you ever seen a carbon fiber cased, 12 piston, 558 horsepower Mondeo?”

“…………” Xu Ninggong felt like this was just too damaging for her self esteem, as that Lagonda she saw previously was definitely his ride of choice.

In the morning she specifically borrowed her advertising manager’s Land Rover to flaunt in front of this previous classmate of hers. Yet, why the hell was he driving a even better car than her?

“So then why weren’t you there in the morning?” Xu Ninggong was still hanging on to this topic: “I even waited an entire hour!”

“You don’t even remember me, so why do I need your signature?” Ye Qing rolled up his sleeves and chugged half the cup: “I didn’t even take a look at it before giving it to my nephew, who only told me about it after he came back.”

“Of course I need to apologise for making you wait an entire hour for nothing.”

“I also need to apologise. I lied once and you left me hanging once, so now we’re even.” Xu Ninggong rubbed her eyebrows​.

“Oh right. You really have guts to bring your girlfriend to watch your first love’s premiere, and even confess in front of her that you wrote her a love letter once.”

Xu Ninggong kept on coming back to this, clearly meaning to say that he already had a girlfriend​, so the two of us could still be friends, but definitely not like what it was back during fourth grade.

“We’re good friends, so of course she’s got feelings for me, and I also feel great about her.” Ye Qing scratched his head: “So much focus on this, what, are you afraid of me chasing after you?”

“Yeah right ~ ” Xu Ninggong gave Ye Qing a free eye roll and then started to check him out.

“I still can’t believe it. Just before, Zhang Mei was going to introduce to me some incredible young man, yet I would’ve never thought that after more than a decade, you would be so different.”

“I used to always watch you on the TV and on the web. You didn’t change one bit.”

“How you were back then, I don’t really remember, but all I can recall was your puppy love.” Xu Ninggong chuckled and again toasted.

“Damn that puppy love. Back then you were always the one playing the piano during music class, always the one singing in the theaters during children’s day. Anyway, it doesn’t matter what activities got the most attention, you were always there. I still remember that out of ten guys at school, nine of them would say they like you, yet none of them had the guts to confess.”

Ye Qing withdrew his wallet, pulled out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Xu Ninggong, still bitter. “Alright, sign it please, for before.”

Xu Ninggong patted herself, the meaning was quite clear, ‘do you see me dressed like this? Where the heck would I keep a pen?’

Ye Qing asked the bartender for a pen and Xu Ninggong exquisitely filled in her signature and her contact number.

Ye Qing pulled out his cell phone and make a quick call with the written down number: “Remember to save it, it’s my number.”
