To My Dear Mr. Huo-Chapter 763 - She Shouldn’t have put in so much effort in front of him

Chapter 763: Chapter 004: She Shouldn’t have put in so much effort in front of him

Ye Zhen got into the car without much hesitation. Firstly, Li Junsheng was the mayor of a city. There was no need for him to harm her. Secondly, she was indeed in a hurry to explain to President Ning. After getting into the car, ye Zhen looked at Secretary Chen who was driving in front. She realized that it was time to go to work. “Uncle Li, you’re not busy, are you? Will this time be a hindrance to your work?” She was indeed in a hurry, but she did not want Li Junsheng to think that she did not know her manners. “It’s okay.”Li Junsheng smiled. “I just finished my work. I’m free now.” “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Uncle Li.”Ye Zhen was generous and not pretentious. Li Junsheng looked at her like this and a smile appeared on his face. Of course, he didn’t miss the anxious look on her face. “Where are you going?” “Ning Hai Company,”ye Zhen said. Thinking that Li Junsheng had just come to Qingcheng and probably wouldn’t know, she told him Ning Hai’s address again. “Okay,”Li Junsheng instructed Secretary Chen. Secretary Chen was really strange. The one who had been following Li Junsheng in Lin City was secretary Li. He could be considered secretary Li’s assistant. After secretary Li was transferred to another job, he had gone to other places. Hence, he followed Li Junsheng to Qingcheng. Speaking of which, he had been following Li Junsheng for a few years. He had always seen a very gentle smile on his face. However, he was not close to anyone. “Thank you, Uncle Li.” Li Junsheng turned to look at her. It seemed that this was the first time he was in the mood to correct her. “Speaking of which, you shouldn’t be older than you by much, right?” Ye Zhen didn’t understand. She didn’t understand why he was talking about age. “You Call Me Grandpa and uncle. If I don’t call you uncle Li, what should I call you?”Ye Zhen didn’t think about it for a moment, but she suddenly nodded. “Should I call you uncle Li?” Li Junsheng felt that the car was slightly tilted at this moment. He glanced indifferently at Secretary Chen in front of him. Secretary Chen quickly steadied the car and stared at the road ahead, not daring to listen anymore. “Your Company does business with Ning Hai?” He had come to Qingcheng and done some research on all the enterprises in Qingcheng. Not to mention the Zhan family’s influence in Qingcheng. Of course, ever since Zhan haoze returned to the Zhan family, he had split up the Zhan family’s influence. Besides the Zhan family, there was also the Ning family. The Dong family. The Lu family could be considered one of the aristocratic families that had developed quite well in Qingcheng. The Ye family could be considered one of them. But in the end, their foundation was still too shallow. “Yes.”Ye Zhen nodded. “My uncle has a good relationship with President Ning. He asked them to hand over a proposal to us.” The carriage was very quiet. Ye Zhen looked at Li Junsheng and said, “Uncle Li, speaking of which, I still owe you a meal.” Last time, she clearly said that she was treating, but in the end, Li Junsheng bought the bill. In this way, she owed him twice. “Uncle Li, when do you think you have time…” “Today.” “Ah?” “I have time today.”Li Junsheng looked at her stunned look and felt very satisfied with the effect he had created. “Then, then…”ye Zhen was just being polite just now. She was in a hurry to go to Ning Hai and explain to someone. “You go and do your thing first.” “Okay.”Ye Zhen held back the action of patting her chest. She didn’t know why, but she actually felt a little nervous when facing Li Junsheng. She got off the car when she arrived at Ning Hai Company. After ye Zhen made the announcement, she went upstairs to look for President Ning. Recently, she had been coming here frequently, so she was familiar with the place. President Ning was indeed a little unhappy and emotional. However, he wouldn’t be so nervous and angry. There were rules in the industry. Even if a plan was really leaked, the person who got it couldn’t actually be used. It could only mean that his plan was known in advance, so he would be a little unhappy. Ye Zhen was here to explain. At the same time, because Ning Hai had given them more time, she could do it again. She expressed her sincerity to President Ning and told him about the solution. Regarding this incident, she said that the drawing company would definitely handle it to the end. Moreover, there was no evidence at the moment. That photo was just a coincidence. “Maybe this is what they wanted you to see?” Ye Zhen believed that with President Ning’s status, he would never convict her based on a photo. The explanation went smoothly, and President Ning was satisfied with the solution. Before leaving, Ye Zhen made a small request to President Ning. “President Ning, before everything is settled, can you not tell my dad, which is to say that we will continue the contract?” This matter could be big or small, but if Ning Hai company really decided that general drawing would break the contract, they would not be able to bear the consequences. Seeing that President Ning did not understand her gaze, ye Zhen smiled a little awkwardly. “Am I not trying to catch the mole? Otherwise, why would the photo be circulated for all of you to see in less than three minutes after I sat with him?” As the saying goes, one should not expose one’s dirty laundry to the public. If possible, ye Zhen really did not want to let anyone know about the internal affairs of the company. However, the other party had used such a method to scheme against her. She could not hide it even if she wanted to. President Ning nodded understandingly and finally agreed. Ye Zhen knew that the other party was doing this for her uncle’s sake, but she was still grateful and said that she would treat him to a meal next time. Forty minutes later, ye Zhen came out of Ning Hai building. Her phone called, saying that the car had already been towed away. She sighed and was about to call a taxi when she suddenly realized that the car parked by the roadside looked a little familiar. She stopped in her tracks and went forward with some uncertainty. The car window was lowered, and she saw Li Junsheng’s face. .. She could see that Li Junsheng was reading a document in his hand. When he saw her come down, he raised his head to look at her. He was sitting in the car, looking very calm. “Are you done?” “AH? Yes.”Ye Zhen didn’t dare to think that way, but she was really curious. “Uncle Li, have you been waiting for me here?” “Didn’t you say you wanted to treat me to a meal?” Li Junsheng’s words made ye Zhen’s eyeballs almost fall out. The dignified mayor Li needed her meal? “Yeah.”She glanced at her phone. It was still early for dinner. “Get in the car.”Li Junsheng closed the document and put it aside. Ye Zhen got in the car. “Thank you, Uncle Li.” “What do you want to Eat?” “Whatever.”Ye Zhen reacted after saying this. There were people on the internet who said that the most annoying thing was to ask others what they wanted to eat while eating, and others answered whatever they wanted. “Uncle Li, about that, I’m not that picky about food. You can decide.” Li Junsheng nodded and told Secretary Chen. The car started up, and Ye Zhen looked at the side of Li Junsheng’s face. “Uncle Li, Don’t you want to go back to the office?” She said it in a more general way, but in fact, she had never entered the city proper before. “There’s no need today.”Li Junsheng looked at the little girl. From his point of view, she really was a little girl. “Today, my job is to go out and do research. I’m done.” Ye Zhen nodded. For a moment, she was speechless again. But it was very strange. She did not feel uneasy just because she was sitting next to a man. This feeling was a little new. But it could be because of Li Junsheng’s official position. Or maybe it was because of his own reasons, he gave people a special feeling of stability. Yes, it was stability. Ye Zhen couldn’t help but look at him again. Li Junsheng was also looking at her. When his eyes met hers, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. “Is there something on my face?” “No.”Ye Zhen stuck out her tongue and shook her head. Just when she wanted to find a topic to talk about, her phone rang. “Sorry, Uncle Li, I have to take this call.” Li Junsheng had a casual expression on his face. Ye Zhen took out her phone. It was ye Nanshan’s call. When she picked up the call, she accidentally put it on speaker. Just as she was about to turn it off, ye Nanshan’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Ye Zhen, where have you been? You’ve caused such a big mess, and you still have the mood to hang around outside? Get into the company right now. Also, you’re not allowed to interfere in the Ninghai case from now on. Work for Ninghan. Let me tell you –” Ye Zhen was a little embarrassed. That string of words was spoken very quickly. She didn’t want to hear it, but she heard it. Knowing that Li Junsheng was beside her, she didn’t plan to say anything more and quickly hung up. “Sorry for making a fool of myself, Uncle Li.” Li Junsheng glanced at her and didn’t say anything. Ye Zhen felt a little awkward. This kind of emotion was different from the awkwardness she didn’t want President Ning to know just now. She couldn’t help but move a little toward the car window. Her hands also twisted together from holding the phone. At this time, the phone rang again. Ye Zhen was about to hang up when Li Junsheng reached out and took the phone. Ye Zhen’s eyes widened. She didn’t need to turn on the speakerphone to hear ye Nanshan’s voice “Ye Zhen, you hung up on me.” “This is Li Junsheng.” Ye Zhen:”…” Li Junsheng turned on the speakerphone, and ye Nanshan’s gasp could be clearly heard from inside the car. “Li, Li –” “Li Junsheng, chairman Ye, we just met a few days ago.” “Mayor Li, Zhen Zhen, she –” “She’s with me. I don’t know, why are you looking for her?” “No, nothing much.”Ye Zhen couldn’t see ye Nanshan’s expression through the phone, but she knew that his expression must be very interesting. It was a pity that she did not see it with her own eyes. “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. I still have to go to dinner with ye Zhen.” “No, it’s nothing.” “Okay. Goodbye, Chairman Ye.” Li Junsheng hung up the phone and handed the phone back to Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen looked at her phone. “Uncle Li, actually –” She could handle such a small situation on her own. “It’s fine. Can We Go Eat Now?” “Yes.” Ye Zhen nodded and clenched her phone. She had mixed feelings. She glanced at Li Junsheng and pursed her lips. “Thank you, Uncle Li.” “Since you called me uncle Li, you don’t have to be so polite with me.” Li Junsheng thought of what she had said the last time. “Does chairman ye usually talk to you like this at home?” “More or less.”Even if he did not yell at her or scold her, his tone was not necessarily good. Li Junsheng’s brows furrowed slightly. He thought of Huo Jinyao. Huo Jinyao had a particularly bad relationship with his mother previously. Although things were better now, no one could accept being treated like this by their own parents, right? His expression looked too serious. Ye Zhen bit her lip and cleared her throat. “Actually, it’s not that bad.” It seemed that Li Junsheng didn’t believe her, the corners of her mouth twitched. “It’s true. The general drawing company is. You can tell by the name. It’s named after my mother. My mother has 30% of the shares in the company. Before my mother left, she gave two-tenths of the shares to my father. The remaining 20% is left to me.” This was also the reason why ye Nanshan was dissatisfied. This was because, to Ye Nanshan, a daughter who was married off was like water that was washed away. In the future, Ye Zhen would definitely get married. She had so many shares in her hands. This made him very dissatisfied. That was why after ye Zhen graduated, she entered the planning department and became a small employee. “Before I turned 18, these shares were seized by my father. Later, when I turned 18, my grandfather and uncle pressured my father to give me the shares. Even if my father didn’t want to, he had to be willing.” “So you see, I have 20% of the shares in my hands. My father was satisfied with his mouth.” She spoke very calmly, and there was even a faint smile on her face. But who was Li Junsheng? He could tell at a glance that under ye Zhen’s casual words, there was a trace of sadness that could not be spoken to others. He made a very abrupt move and reached out to hold ye Zhen’s hand. “If you don’t want to laugh, don’t laugh.” Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. Her hand was held by him. His hand was very warm, very warm. It was midsummer now. It was very hot outside, but there was an air conditioner in the car. The temperature of his palm made ye Zhen feel an electric current flowing from his hand to her body. That feeling made her feel as if she had been electrocuted, and she quickly withdrew her hand. “Uncle Li, I’ve thought of what to eat for lunch. Let’s Eat Hotpot.” When Li Junsheng held her hand, he was also momentarily stunned. Compared to him, her hand was small and soft. He did not expect that he would take the initiative to hold a little girl’s hand, but the moment he held it, he did not think of letting go. He did not expect that the little girl would be frightened. The moment he withdrew his hand, Li Junsheng inexplicably felt that his palm was empty. “Hot pot on such a hot day?” “Then how about Korean cuisine?” Li Junsheng frowned slightly when he saw her deliberately changing the topic and even approaching the car door without leaving a trace. “Let’s eat Japanese cuisine. I have a meeting in the afternoon. I don’t want to go with the smell all over me.” “Okay.”It did not matter what she ate. The important thing was to repay the favor she owed him previously. It was one thing that she didn’t want to owe anyone. On the other hand, the feeling of being electrocuted just now scared her. ‘Li Junsheng is your uncle,’she told herself in her heart. ‘keep your distance to ensure your safety.’. Li Junsheng entered the Japanese restaurant and found that the little girl was much more reserved than before. She didn’t look at his eyes and only nodded or shook her head in response to his words. When the waiter served the dishes, the little girl used the excuse of going to the bathroom to run away. He was left alone in the room. He thought that the little girl would be so scared just by holding his hand. If he did something else.. When this thought came to mind, even Li Junsheng was a little scared. He had always been pure of heart and had few desires. Compared to his other childhood friends, he knew from a young age that he had to walk the path of righteousness. Therefore, he was used to self-discipline. Other than the few sisters from his childhood friends, he had never been close to women. Over the years, he had seen many of the tricks in the officialdom. He didn’t even look at the women who came to him openly and secretly, let alone touch them. The only time he lost control was when he had been schemed against last time, and he still hadn’t found that woman. Now that he had met an interesting-looking little girl, but avoided him like a viper, this feeling was really a little subtle. When the waiter served the dishes, ye Zhen finally came back. “I’m sorry. Uncle Li, I picked up a call.” Li Junsheng looked at her as she spoke. It was fake to pick up the phone. Avoiding him was real. He didn’t expose her clumsy lie. He picked up the chopsticks at the side. “Just in time. The dishes are here. Let’s eat.” “Okay.” “I’ve been to this restaurant once before. Their sashimi and sushi are very authentic. You can try them.” She didn’t put food in ye Zhen’s bowl because she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable. “Okay.” Ye Zhen lowered her head and focused on eating. She thought to herself that after this meal, she would pay for it and return the favor. Next time, she would stay away from Li Junsheng. After eating, the two of them walked out. Ye Zhen was going to pay the bill when she was told that secretary Chen had already paid. “Uncle Li, look, I already said that I’m treating.” “It’s okay. It’s not a big deal.”Li Junsheng could finally see that the little girl regarded him as someone with evil intentions. He couldn’t help but laugh. If he didn’t look at himself in the mirror every day, he would think that his appearance was terrifying and that it made people afraid. “Uncle Li –” “Ye Zhen.”Knowing what she wanted to say, Li Junsheng interrupted her, “Your grandfather once saved my father’s life.” Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. Li Junsheng’s expression was very serious. “You may not understand what this so-called saving means. But to the Li family, uncle Lu is the Li family’s benefactor.” “Uncle Li?” “I helped you because it was convenient. If you have a burden, I will pay attention next time.” “I didn’t mean that. I just –” Ye Zhen suddenly realized that her scheming in front of Li Junsheng was not enough. “It doesn’t matter even if you do.”As Li Junsheng spoke, he stood in front of ye Zhen with a calm expression. “To me, you’re like a niece of an uncle’s family. Do you understand?” “I understand.”Ye Zhen nodded and laughed at herself for being too paranoid. They only held hands. “Thank you, Uncle Li. Look, I said I would treat you. And then –” He had helped her twice. “It doesn’t matter. Let’s go. I’ll send you back.” “No need. I can take a taxi.” “It’s hard to call a taxi here.”Li Junsheng didn’t give her a chance to refuse. “Also, I want to go back to the city. It’s on the way.” This reason made ye Zhen speechless. It really was on the way. She could only follow behind Li Junsheng. The two of them left the harmony room one after the other. Secretary Chen drove over from the other side. Li Junsheng brought ye Zhen to the front. Ye Zhen walked in front of Li Junsheng a few days ago. She thought about how she had schemed against him a few times today. He clearly knew about it, but he didn’t say anything. For a moment, she felt a little awkward. She couldn’t help but turn around and want to say something, but there was a small step down. When she turned around like this, her other foot missed. Li Junsheng watched as she lost her balance in that instant. He quickly held her body and pulled her into his arms —
