Chapter 32 Teahouse Encounter
Although summer has arrived in Beijing in June, there is still a hint of coolness in the evening breeze. Today's sky is covered with drizzle. Ye Wanqing happened to go out at a busy traffic hour. The streets became extremely slippery in the rain, and traffic stagnated in the crowded city center for about half an hour.
When she finally arrived at the "Tingyuxuan" teahouse, the wall clock showed six-thirty.
As the night deepened, the rain continued to fall. Looking out of the car window, the whole city seemed to be covered by a thin layer of rain curtain, appearing a little dark and hazy.
Ye Wanqing opened her umbrella and cautiously stepped out of the car. After taking a few steps, she accidentally stepped into a shallow puddle of water. Water droplets splashed everywhere, soaking her shoes and leaving a large, clear stain.
She frowned slightly, glanced down, but just shook her head slightly, continued to hold the umbrella handle tightly, and walked steadily towards the depths of the "Tingyuxuan" teahouse.
The teahouse carefully selected by Zhao Jinyu is full of unique charm. The interior decoration style of "Tingyuxuan" seems to bring people into a classical garden shrouded in rain and mist. Raindrops hitting the oil-paper umbrellas contrast with the soft yellow lights, creating a quiet and elegant atmosphere.
Ye Wanqing gently folded her umbrella and followed the waiter's guidance, walked through the winding and quiet corridor, climbed to the second floor of the teahouse, and came to the reserved private room.
"Ms. Ye, Mr. Duan has been waiting for you for a long time."
The waiter smiled and pointed to the exquisite umbrella stand nearby, "Miss Ye, your umbrella can be placed here."
Ye Wanqing turned her head and noticed that the carving on the umbrella stand was very delicate. After placing the umbrella properly, she walked into the box.
"You're finally here." Zhao Jinyu's voice sounded in the box, gentle and full of expectation.
As she entered the private room, a fresh scent of tea greeted her. Ye Wanqing walked around the antique screen and saw Zhao Jinyu sitting in front of the tea table, leisurely sipping tea. She walked forward with a hint of apology on her face:
"Sorry, there was some traffic and I'm late."
"Don't mind it, this situation is very common." Zhao Jinyu answered tolerantly. Noticing that Ye Wanqing's face was slightly flushed due to the cold wind, he couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.
"It was really my negligence to let you go out in such bad weather." Zhao Jinyu said as he filled a cup of steaming hot tea for her.
"Have some hot tea to warm yourself up."
"Thank you." In the warm atmosphere of the box, Ye Wanqing gently picked up the teacup and savored it carefully.
Zhao Jinyu then handed the menu to her:
"See if there's anything you want to eat. You're welcome."
Ye Wanqing nodded, took the menu, and carefully selected a few dishes. Zhao Jinyu also added a few delicious side dishes and a bowl of nourishing soup. After the waiter confirmed the order, he left, and the private room returned to peace.
In a corner of the box, a window was slightly open, and raindrops tapped gently on the window frame. Ye Wanqing looked out the window. The corridor and rockery below, shrouded by the rain, seemed even more quiet. She imagined that if it were snowing in winter, the scenery here would be even more charming.
Zhao Jinyu noticed that Ye Wanqing seemed to have a special liking for the scenery outside the window, so he spoke gently, "The night view is indeed charming, but Miss Ye might prefer the misty rain during the day."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing slowly withdrew her gaze from the rain curtain, turned to Zhao Jinyu, and commented with a smile: "The environment here is truly unique and refreshing."
She paused, raised her brows slightly, and got straight to the point: "I've noticed some of the comments and accusations online. I'm wondering if you'd like me to clarify this with your company?"
Zhao Jinyu raised one eyebrow slightly, his eyes softly falling on Ye Wanqing's face. He tapped the teacup in his hand lightly, and said calmly:
"Did Miss Ye really commit plagiarism?"
Ye Wanqing looked at him without hesitation, her face as calm as water:
"Do you really believe I would plagiarize?"
Her question was like a boomerang, thrown at Zhao Jinyu, and at the same time cleverly expressed her attitude.
Zhao Jinyu looked at her deeply, then smiled gently:
"Since Ms. Ye has not committed any plagiarism, it is clear that we are all victims of this groundless accusation."
Ye Wanqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "So, what exactly is it that Master Zhao invited me here today?"
Zhao Jinyu took out a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to her:
"I think Miss Ye may need legal support in the current situation. I have a lawyer friend, and here is my recommendation."
Although there was a hint of joking in Zhao Jinyu's tone, his recommendation was certainly not an ordinary one.
Ye Wanqing didn't refuse. She was indeed looking for a lawyer she could trust. She took the business card, and her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the name.
"I will remember your help, thank you."
Xiao Hongzhe, a name that has worked in the legal profession for ten years, has maintained an undefeated record in his career and is particularly good at handling complex defamation cases.
Ye Wanqing originally planned to ask Li Meng to help recommend a lawyer, but unexpectedly, Zhao Jinyu directly provided her with Xiao Hongzhe's business card. Such generosity made her unable to refuse.
Zhao Jinyu originally thought that Ye Wanqing would politely decline his help out of pride, but seeing that she accepted it without hesitation, he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes:
"This incident is not only an attack on you, Ms. Ye, but it has also caused considerable trouble to our crew. Our company is willing to bear all of Ms. Ye's legal fees."
Ye Wanqing put the business card away carefully and rejected his kindness in a firm tone:
"No, this is my personal matter, I will handle it myself."
"Since Miss Ye is so insistent, I won't say anything more." Seeing that she was determined, Zhao Jinyu stopped insisting.
The dinner was spent in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Although Ye Wanqing was not good at socializing, she could always respond appropriately to the topics raised by Zhao Jinyu. The two of them enjoyed a delicious dinner while chatting and laughing.
It was already late at night. Ye Wanqing looked at Zhao Jinyu and said politely:
"Thank you for your hospitality tonight, Mr. Zhao. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Zhao Jinyu nodded in agreement: "Okay, Miss Ye."
He also stood up. Ye Wanqing picked up the handbag beside her, nodded slightly to Zhao Jinyu in thanks, then turned and walked out of the box, took out the umbrella from the umbrella tube, and stepped into the rainy night.
Walking along the dim corridor, Ye Wanqing had just turned the first corner when she unexpectedly met Lin Xuan and his friends.
When Xu Xinyi saw Ye Wanqing, she subconsciously moved closer to Lin Xuan and said with a smile on her face:
"Wanqing, what a coincidence."
Her eyes swept over Zhao Jinyu behind Ye Wanqing, and then said:
"Wanqing looks in good spirits. She's out in such bad weather. Do you have a special date?"
Ye Wanqing looked at the other party calmly and responded indifferently:
"Ms. Xu, could you please move aside? You're blocking my way."
In the narrow corridor, Ye Wanqing stood on Lin Xuan's right side, and the two of them almost occupied half the width of the passage.
Ye Wanqing was holding an umbrella, and although she could barely squeeze through, she still made a polite request to avoid the rain splashing on Ye Wanqing and causing unnecessary misunderstanding.
Seeing that Ye Wanqing didn't accept her joke, but directly pointed out the problem of her blocking the way, Ye Wanqing's expression couldn't help but stagnate slightly, then she took a half step back and turned to look at Zhao Jinyu:
"Mr. Zhao, you are really smart. You can do it so quickly—"
Zhao Jinyu had a half-smile on his face, imitating Ye Wanqing's previous tone, and interrupted her softly:
"Ms. Xu, you're blocking the way."
