Gently bite the jasmine

At first glance, Chen Jingyi recognized it as Duan Mingxuan's car.

Duan Er Gongzi has always been a well-known figure among Yin Fan employees.

From appearance to family background to personal relationships, the rumors spread far and wide.

Chen Jingyi never expected that Lin Xi would have such a connection with Duan Mingxuan.

Could it be that Lin Xi was able to join Yin Fan because of Duan Mingxuan?

Although there are rumors within the company that Duan Yiheng and Duan Mingxuan are not on good terms, the group's general manager is Duan Zheng, who is Duan Mingxuan's biological father.

Getting someone into the company is just a matter of a word.

The only thing Chen Jingyi couldn't understand was: if the brothers didn't get along, why did Lin Xi become Duan Yiheng's secretary?

And why did Lin Xi get out of Duan Yiheng's car?

The key question now is: Does Duan Yiheng know that Lin Xi and Duan Mingxuan know each other, or even have a close relationship?

If you know him, Lin Xi joining Yin Fan is just giving face to his own people.

It was probably a coincidence that Lin Xi got out of his car.

If you don't know him, Lin Xi is just a pawn that Duan Mingxuan placed next to Duan Yiheng.

According to Zheng Jizhong, Duan Zheng dislikes Duan Yiheng and has always intended to cultivate Duan Mingxuan.

Did Duan Zheng also know Lin Xi?

Lin Xi took a short nap during his lunch break, which gave his body a brief sense of refreshment.

Just as it was time for her to start work, she knocked on the CEO's office door.

"Come in."

Duan Yiheng's voice was somewhat low, as if he had just woken up.

Lin Xi pushed open the door and went in. Duan Yiheng waved to her and said, "We'll talk about it later. Get me a glass of water first."

Lin Xi immediately turned around and poured him a glass of warm water.

Duan Yiheng slowly finished his drink, then raised his chin at her and said, "Tell me the details of today's afternoon schedule."

Lin Xi: "There's a meeting with the marketing department at 2:30 to discuss a new product promotion plan. After the meeting, the head of the R&D center will discuss key technical bottlenecks in the new project with you, hoping to coordinate external expert resources. The meeting is expected to last about an hour. Also, the legal department has several important contract terms that you need to confirm. As for the timing, it depends on your availability."

"Have the legal department come over now." Duan Yiheng rubbed his temples, suppressing his weariness. "Also, notify the marketing department. I don't want to see any garbage proposals. The meeting must end within forty minutes."

Lin Xi wrote down: "Okay."

Duan Yiheng: "You don't need to attend the afternoon meeting. Find a few quiet and private restaurants and confirm with me later. I need to treat people to dinner."

Lin Xi noted them down one by one: "Could I ask about the other party's identity? That way, I'll have a better understanding and can make arrangements accordingly."

Duan Yiheng: "The CEO of Black Sky Investment Company in S City and his wife, you should also get ready to come with me."

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Me too?"

Duan Yiheng raised his eyes: "As my secretary, you naturally have to accompany me to some dinner parties."

Lin Xi explained, "It's not that I didn't want to go."

Duan Yiheng: "Yinfan and Heitian have always cooperated. I have some personal connections with their CEO Lu. He came here this time not for official business, I am just doing my duty as a host. He also brought his wife, so of course I need a female companion for socializing."

Lin Xi nodded: "I understand."

Lin Xi spent the entire afternoon selecting three restaurants.

The first restaurant is quaint and quiet, following a Chinese style; the second restaurant is a high-end private kitchen; and the last one is in the suburbs.

After finishing the two meetings, Duan Yiheng directly confirmed the third company with Lin Xi.

"Have you done your homework?" Duan Yiheng asked Lin Xi.

Lin Xi: "I checked the public information about President Lu and Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu studied architecture. This restaurant on the top of a mountain in the suburbs is famous for its unique architectural shape. I think Mrs. Lu would be interested."

Duan Yiheng's lips curled up slightly: "Not bad."

Lin Xi wasn't a kindergarten child who would be proud of receiving a red flower, but Duan Yiheng's two light words gave her a shy feeling of being praised.

Duan Yiheng: "Don't just stand there, come with me to the hotel to pick them up."

Lin Xi quickly followed.

Lu Tong and Chen Li were three or four years older than Duan Yiheng and had no children.

Chen Li is tall and has an outstanding temperament; she and Lu Tong look very well-matched.

The two sides met and greeted each other.

Lu Tong's gaze lingered on Lin Xi for a moment before he joked with Duan Yiheng, "I brought my wife with me. Does this mean you're about to have a good time?"

When misunderstood, Duan Yiheng didn't rush to explain, saying, "The little one in my family is working at Yinfan now."

Lin Xi glanced at Duan Yiheng and felt that his words were ambiguous.

What does it mean to call someone a "kid at home"? It makes it sound like she got in through connections.

Well, she got in through connections anyway.

Chen Li became interested: "Could she be Lin Daiyu?"

Lin Xi looked at Duan Yiheng and said, "What Lin sister?"

Duan Yiheng coughed lightly: "Let's get in the car first."

When he came to pick someone up, he had the driver change to a custom-made extended Mulsanne, with a separate front and rear compartment and four independent seats in the back.

Lin Xi and Chen Li faced each other, and Lin Xi first introduced the restaurant they were going to.

She also thoughtfully prepared photos, which immediately piqued the other party's interest.

Half an hour later, Mulsanne left the city lights and entered the suburbs.

The restaurant is situated on a hilltop, and its main building resembles a giant stack of building blocks, arranged in a staggered and orderly manner.

The driver stopped the car and opened the door for the lady first.

Duan Yiheng and Lu Tong, relying on their own efforts, entered through the main entrance with the guidance of the restaurant staff.

Lu Tong glanced ahead, then fell slightly behind, raising an eyebrow at Duan Yiheng: "Is she the Lin Daiyu that Mu Zhao mentioned? This is the first time I've seen her; she looks very young."

The tone was very playful, and there was also a sense of "an old cow eating young grass" in it.

Duan Yiheng: "..."

He'll have to sew Mu Zhao's mouth shut sooner or later.

"No wonder you immediately refused when I suggested introducing you to my friend who sells lychees."

Duan Yiheng: "..."

"But judging from her expression, she doesn't seem to know you're interested in her. You're thirty, aren't you? Still playing the innocent love game? Shouldn't you be doing the bedroom game?"

Lu Tong's tone was one of deep sorrow and indignation.

Duan Yiheng: "...Are you feeling uncomfortable because you're not saying anything?"

Lu Tong: "If I didn't have this mouth, I wouldn't have been able to win over my wife."

Duan Yiheng: "If you keep talking nonsense, you'll never win over your wife."

Lu Tong looked up and saw that Chen Li and Lin Xi had already entered the elevator, so he quickly followed them.

The elevator was transparent, and Lin Xi, who was visiting for the first time, looked curiously down into the lobby.

That one glance startled her.

"What's wrong?" Duan Yiheng raised his hand to support her and looked in the direction she was looking.

In the very center of the restaurant lobby, Yu Lang waved to her.

Beside him was a familiar face, the blogger who had traveled with them from the hotel to the airport in H City.

The girl was in first class, right next to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi stared wide-eyed with curiosity. How did these two end up together?
