Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161: Like I’d Believe You

At this moment, Ye Fei saw Yan Huaian using an elder-like tone to ask Li Xiaoyun, "Xiao Li, how old are you this year?"

If Ye Fei hadn’t seen Yan Huaian before, she would really have been confused thinking it was an elderly man asking.

Xiao Li, what is that?

Ye Fei directly messaged Zhao Gushen privately: "What’s going on with Yan Huaian? Why is he calling Xiaoyun Xiao Li?"

Zhao Gushen explained with a smile, "Just taking advantage of Uncle Zhan. Uncle Zhan makes everyone call Li Xiaoyun Aunt Four, but only Yan Huaian doesn’t need to call her that, so he flaunts it."

Ye Fei thought of this too, when she looked at the chat record just now, it seemed she glimpsed Yan Huaian calling her Xiao Li.

But since she was walking while reading, watching the road, and trying to avoid bumping into people, she didn’t look very carefully.

"You’re done with class?" Zhao Gushen asked.

"Yeah, just finished class, getting ready to go back to the student dorm to rest. There’s only one class in the afternoon, so I can go home early today too," Ye Fei said.

Changping Academy’s courses aren’t too tight; most of the time is left for students to explore on their own.

"I’ll come over to have lunch with you." Zhao Gushen said.

Since Ye Fei went to Changping to study, he hasn’t been able to have lunch with Ye Fei on a weekday for quite a while.

"Wouldn’t that be too rushed?" Ye Fei asked.

It’s quite far from the company to here.

"No, it’s just a meal, there’s enough time." Zhao Gushen said, "I’m already on my way. But you’ll have to wait for me first. If you’re hungry, eat first."

"I’ll wait for you, I’m not hungry now." Ye Fei said, "Changping’s cafeteria lunch is quite nice, just in time for you to try it."

As the big boss of the whole Changping Group, Zhao Gushen has probably only eaten at Changping Academy’s cafeteria a handful of times.

"Okay." Zhao Gushen nodded.

Over on Zhao Dingli’s side, he saw that the meeting was about to exceed an hour in length.

Before, he specifically reminded Rui Changhuai to make sure all department heads manage their time well.

To focus on key points, and not say so much unnecessary stuff.

To keep the entire meeting within an hour.

Who knew it would still go overtime?

When it was President Wu’s turn to speak last, Zhao Dingli said, "You’d better be quick; it’s already overtime."

President Wu looked at the time confusedly.

It’s only 11:30, still half an hour before lunch break.

Did Zhao Dingli get the time wrong?

Then, they saw Zhao Dingli urgently tapping the conference table twice, saying, "I have to go have lunch with my girlfriend, can’t let her wait hungry."

Rui Changhuai thought, here it comes, finally here.

From the start of the meeting until now, Zhao Dingli hadn’t mentioned Li Xiaoyun or anything related to being off the market.

Although he was exuding confidence and smugness, he didn’t openly boast.

Despite the bragging being written obviously on his face, he didn’t vocally express it.

This left Rui Changhuai quite surprised.

Thinking Zhao Dingli couldn’t have suddenly changed his nature.

Clearly, before the meeting he was especially out of control.

Thus, Rui Changhuai’s heart was always on guard, ready to endure Zhao Dingli’s bragging at any moment.

Resulting in him being nervous for an hour, and just as the meeting was about to end.

Rui Changhuai muttering to himself.

Could it be that he really misunderstood Zhao Dingli?

Is Zhao Dingli perhaps not so manic?

Rui Changhuai felt his understanding was being overturned.

Having been Zhao Dingli’s assistant for so many years, he should know Zhao Dingli well.

Yet, there were moments of misjudgment.

Seems like he still doesn’t know Zhao Dingli well enough.

Just as Rui Changhuai was questioning his own understanding, he heard Zhao Dingli say these words.

Suddenly, Rui Changhuai felt as though a huge weight lifted from his heart.

Finally, the long-awaited moment arrived, leaving Rui Changhuai completely at ease.

President Wu: "..."

It’s not like anyone wasn’t nervously waiting for an hour, huh?

He too was waiting for Zhao Dingli’s big reveal.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it fell on him.

Talk about bad luck.

Even though he already knew from Rui Changhuai about Zhao Dingli’s relationship status.

President Wu now appeared as if he was just finding out, with not a hint of performance trace, "President, are you in a relationship? The partner is Miss Li, right! Oh! Such an important good news, why didn’t you mention it earlier! You’re too low-key! Such a big joyous event should be shared to let everyone be happy!"

Rui Changhuai: "..."

President Wu is truly talented.

Such a reliable guy!

The surprise, as if he just learned about it, didn’t sell him out, how could Rui Changhuai not be happy about this?

Zhao Dingli’s smile was uncontainable at the corners of his mouth, yet he pretended saying, "Low profile, you all know me. I’m not fond of discussing personal matters publicly. As long as you’re aware, let’s not frequently bring it up."

People: "..."

Haha!

We totally believe you.

"Yes, yes." President Wu nodded quickly, "Can’t let Miss Li wait."

"President, would it be okay if I come back to find you after lunch break and finish my input?" President Wu asked.

"I’ve organized everything, so it’ll be quick, shouldn’t affect your afternoon plans," President Wu spoke.

Everyone looked at President Wu, collectively thinking of one word.

Old fox.

Though discussing matters alone with Zhao Dingli holds great pressure, it likewise provides a chance to deepen personal impression.

You might just discover another opportunity.

As expected, Zhao Dingli was quite pleased with President Wu’s perceptiveness.

"Sure." Zhao Dingli nodded, "Let’s conclude today’s meeting for now."

Having said that, Zhao Dingli immediately got up and left the conference room.

Leaving everyone exchanging knowing looks.

Indeed, what was meant to come still came.

And as soon as Zhao Dingli left the conference room, he immediately turned off his phone’s silent mode.

He saw Yan Huaian asking Li Xiaoyun about her age in the group chat.

Then, seeing Li Xiaoyun accurately reply, "27."

Wei Zhiqian: "Beast!"

Qin Zigou: "Zhao Four Uncle is already 37, yet still has the face to look for such a young girl."

Li Xiaoyun was somewhat shocked, they don’t seem to have the ridiculous views of men nowadays.

Thinking a 27-year-old woman, nearly thirty, fits into the category of ’leftover women.’

Li Xiaoyun thought the term ’leftover women’ itself is ludicrous.

How could one be left over?

It’s a particularly insulting term.

Yet, there’s no escaping it.

Because such opinions are omnipresent in life.

Including in her parents’ neighborhood, among her parents’ colleagues.

Upon hearing she’s 27 and still single, they would think she’s getting old.
