Chapter 872
Tang Xiao didn’t speak, but Lin Nan recognized the person, “The Zhou family’s son, Zhou Jingwen, the young master of a century-old banking family. Not only is his family prestigious, but he himself is a double Ph.D. graduate in finance and psychology. Six months ago, when the Zhou family bank faced a financial crisis, Zhou Jingwen was appointed to take charge of all the bank’s business. With sweeping reforms, in just three months, he had pulled the Zhou family out of the financial crisis and even relocated their bank headquarters from V City to the capital, likely aiming to break into the capital market. His abilities should not be underestimated. This is the consequence of you not taking the initiative. Now, a formidable rival has arrived, and the woman might not be yours to keep.”noveldrama
Mo Zhe, with his hands in his pockets, said, “Stop provoking him. Who is Yan Xi? No matter how many arranged meetings her family sets up, she stands them up. Now, seeing a man holding her hand, she must have taken a fancy to him. What woman would wait forever for a coward?”
Both Mu Nianbai and Lin Nan shot Mo Zhe a look. When it came to provocation, this brother was even more ruthless!
While they were talking, Yan Xi and Zhou Jingwen had already walked in, heading straight toward Ye Junqing and Shen Mo, who were discussing going to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to get their marriage certificate.
“Congratulations.” Yan Xi took a gift from Zhou Jingwen’s hand and gave it to Ye Junqing.
Then she asked Ye Junqing, “Where’s your little wife?”
Seeing Yan Xi with a gentleman, Ye Junqing felt relieved, waved to Ye Xingguang not far away, and after she approached, confidently introduced her, “This is Yan Xi.”
Then, he introduced his wife to Yan Xi, “My wife, Ye Xingguang.”
“Very beautiful. I wanted to meet you at the President’s inauguration, but Ye Junqing wouldn’t introduce us. I am pleased to meet you,” Yan Xi reached out her hand.
Ye Xingguang shook hands with Yan Xi and naturally, her thoughts drifted onto the gentleman beside Yan Xi, “Thank you for coming to our engagement party. Is this your boyfriend? You two look great together.”
Dammit! In what way did they match?
Tang Zhou rushed over, “Sister Yan Xi.”
“Little Zhou, congratulations,” Yan Xi said while giving another small gift to Tang Zhou.
After Tang Zhou received the gift, he glared at Zhou Jingwen, standing beside Yan Xi, “Sister Yan Xi, who is this? You’re just ordinary friends, right?”
Yan Xi introduced, “This here is Mr. Zhou Jingwen from the Zhou family. I brought him specifically to meet you. Jingwen hasn’t been active in the capital much before, but he’s planning to break into the market here, so he’ll be counting on your support.”
Shen Mo shook hands with Zhou Jingwen, “I’ve long admired your reputation.”
“Brother Leng’s name is the one that resounds like thunder. Today, thanks to Yan Xi, I get to make your acquaintance,” Zhou Jingwen replied.
Ye Junqing also shook hands with Zhou Jingwen, “So Mr. Zhou wants to develop business in the capital. A friend of Yan Xi’s is a friend of mine. Just let me know if there’s anything I can help with.”
Zhou Jingwen said, “Then I won’t be polite with Brother Ye in the future. Speaking of which, we’re alumni, just that one of us was in the east campus and the other in the west. I’ve wanted to get to know you since university but never found the chance.”
“Is that so? What year did you graduate?”
Tang Zhou was about to explode. Couldn’t Junqing and his lackey see that he didn’t like this Zhou Jingwen? Yet, here they were, chatting away amicably with him!
He was nearly beside himself with frustration for his own brother. Wasn’t Yan Xi deliberately making his brother unhappy?
