Chapter 3696: Chapter 3688: Angry Rebuke

Seeing Xu Kai suddenly walking back, Chen Yutong was taken aback for a moment, looked him over several times, but still couldn’t remember who he was.

"And you are?"

"I’m Xu Kai, we used to be neighbors in our childhood, and we often walked to school together."

"Xu Kai?"

Chen Yutong muttered, thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"I remember now, ever since we moved, it’s been years since we last met. What brings you here?"

"I’m here for work, so we’ll be seeing each other more often from now on."

"That’s great, since we’re all familiar, working together will be much easier."

"Exactly."

Responding politely, Chen Yutong looked at Chen Yuying.

"Sis, have you guys eaten yet? I’ve been waiting for you to come back and I’m starving."

"Not yet, find a place and see what you want to eat, let’s go have some."

"I’m okay with anything, how about we just grab a bite downstairs?"

"Sounds good."

The four of them went to the Sichuan restaurant downstairs and ordered a few simple dishes.

While eating, Chen Yuying brought up the venue matter again.

She still felt a bit uneasy about Lin Yi’s suggestion.

After all, apart from the land Ma Wenbo had, there really wasn’t any other suitable choice.

"Don’t worry, everything will be fine," Lin Yi said between bites:

"And think about it, the other side offered him 20.5 million, while we only offered 13 million. Any normal person wouldn’t have a good attitude and would send us away. Yet, his attitude was still good and told us to go back and think about it, and to come back to discuss further. That’s very unusual, so just wait for news, he will contact you proactively."

Since Lin Yi said this, Chen Yuying didn’t say more.

Moreover, she couldn’t afford the 20.5 million price, so all she could do was wait.

After having a simple lunch, they returned to the company.

Lin Yi found a quiet place to chat with a few women.

He also made a call to the group to discuss the visit arrangement.

He asked them to play along in a little act.

Xu Kai went to the HR department to discuss benefits, pay, and work content.

After the talk, Xu Kai took the materials to the meeting room.

Chen Yutong was studying there, and when she saw Xu Kai enter, she looked up at him.

"Brother Kai."

"I heard from your sister that you’re studying IELTS and GRE, preparing to go abroad."

Chen Yutong nodded, "I have this thought, don’t know what the future holds, but it’s always good to learn more."

If Chen Yuying were here, she wouldn’t dare dream that such words could come from Chen Yutong.

"I have experience studying abroad, I can tell you a bit about it, help you catch up."

"You have your job, I can study by myself. If I don’t understand something later, I’ll ask you."

"No need to be so polite, we’ve known each other since childhood, we’re not strangers."

"Mainly, I really don’t have anything to ask right now. I’ll ask when I have questions."

"Alright then."

"Tongtong, if you’re not busy, Brother Kai wants to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"What’s the relationship between that driver Lin Yi and your sister?"

"They have no relationship," Chen Yutong said:

"He’s my driver, usually picking me up from school, taking my sister is just incidental."

"But he seems to have a lot of say, always poking his nose into everything, clearly not understanding his position."

Chen Yutong heard the undertone and suddenly her expression changed.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Kai didn’t notice the change in Chen Yutong’s mood.

"I just think he doesn’t understand his position, not considering his place."

"Please speak politely, my Lin Bro can do what he likes, it has nothing to do with you. Just do your job and don’t meddle."

Xu Kai was stunned.

Before this, he hadn’t expected Chen Yutong to snap back.

"I understand to do my job, but the problem is he’s overstepping, not clear about his role, meddling in company affairs. That’s not what a driver should be doing."

"How does this concern you? The company isn’t yours, even if things go south, it won’t affect you, why worry so much?"

In Chen Yutong’s mind, both Lin Yi and Chen Yuying held extremely important positions.

If today, Xu Kai’s target was Chen Yuying, she might have restrained herself due to old friendship.

But Xu Kai kept defaming Lin Yi, she couldn’t stand it and wouldn’t give anyone face for this.

"Oh, Tongtong, don’t get upset, I’m just worried your sister might be fooled by him."

Even if Xu Kai had low emotional intelligence, he could sense Chen Yutong’s displeasure and tried to smooth things over.

"And he looks like the type who would cling to a woman for money. We’ve known each other since childhood; we can’t let your sister be deceived."

"Don’t worry, that kind of thing won’t happen to my sister, plus my Lin Bro is married and has kids, he wouldn’t do such a thing."

Hearing this news surprised Xu Kai. He hadn’t expected Lin Yi to be married with children.

"But you can’t generalize like that; many married men nowadays aren’t trustworthy, they can’t control themselves, and when they see a wealthy woman, they latch on. Especially with your sister, being rich and beautiful, she’s an easy target for him."

Chen Yutong’s face turned very grim.

Staring at Xu Kai, making him uncomfortable.

"What’s wrong, Tongtong? Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Even if that were true, what does it have to do with you? As long as your salary isn’t affected, why do you care?"

"This..."

Xu Kai’s expression turned a bit awkward.

"We’ve known each other since childhood, and we grew up together, I should be concerned about you and your sister."

"It’s true we’ve known each other since childhood, but saying we grew up together is too much, not to that extent. So you don’t need to worry too much, just do your job."

Being snapped at again by Chen Yutong, Xu Kai learned to keep quiet this time, awkwardly chuckling.

"You’re right, go ahead and study, I won’t disturb you anymore."

He said awkwardly, and Xu Kai left the meeting room.

But his face turned somber.

He originally thought that with their past relationship, he could win Chen Yutong over and get rid of Lin Yi.

But he didn’t expect her to be so deluded, unable to see the situation clearly.

So now, he needed to focus on Chen Yuying.

With that in mind, Xu Kai went to Chen Yuying’s office.

"President Chen, I’d like to discuss the venue matter with you. I think we should be more cautious."
