55: I have a friend
"This is my friend, Li Chuxia."
After speaking, Chen Su pointed at Ye Sheng, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.
"My good brother, Ye Sheng."
Li Chuxia nodded politely toward Ye Sheng.
Perhaps it was because there was an outsider present.
She was very well-behaved and quiet today, just like the last time during the Dragon Boat Festival when she ate at Feng Wenjun's shop with A Wei and Chen Su.
She just sat quietly to the side, listening to the two of them talk.
Chen Su didn't mind Li Chuxia sitting nearby and went on discussing the assessment of the current situation of Ye Sheng's company... "Are you saying that Tiansheng Group has cut off all of Ye Sheng's company's upstream and downstream supplies and blacklisted them?"
Chen Su nodded. At this point, he was a bit desperate and actually asked Li Chuxia, "That's the general situation. Eldest Miss, do you have any good ideas to break this deadlock?"
He was just asking casually and didn't expect Li Chuxia to come up with any good solution.
"If you're talking about a solution, I actually do have one."
Chen Su and Ye Sheng's eyes lit up, and they looked straight at Li Chuxia.
"I have a friend who is the assistant to the president of Hengchen Group. Maybe he can help."
"Hengchen Group?"
"Yeah, the same Hengchen Group you know. He happens to be free right now. How about I call him over to talk?"
"Sure, sure! Eldest Miss, if you pull this off, you can come to my house to eat every day. It's no problem even if you eat all three meals here."
"It's a deal." Li Chuxia was very excited; this was truly an unexpected gain for her.
She took out her phone and sent a message to her assistant.
"Come back quickly. Later, you are not allowed to call me boss, otherwise your bonus for this month will be docked and your annual leave canceled."
...Two kilometers away from Crystal Lake Mirror, a middle-aged man in his thirties who was driving was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Didn't this little ancestor just tell him to get lost quickly and not let anyone find out?
Why was she calling him back now?
Just now, he had helped Li Chuxia move all her bags and luggage to the door of Unit 1204, Building 13 of Crystal Lake Mirror.
Li Chuxia had told him to wait in the stairwell nearby, and she didn't send the retreat message until she had entered Chen Su's house.
What was the situation now? Docking his salary and canceling his annual leave.
He hurriedly turned the car around and drove toward Crystal Lake Mirror... Ten minutes later, the doorbell at Chen Su's house rang.
Chen Su was about to get up to open the door, but Li Chuxia beat him to it.
"I'll go, I'll go."
She quickly got up and ran to the door to open it.
The person who came was the middle-aged man who had been driving earlier.
Li Chuxia's assistant, Zhang Youzhi.
"Manager Zhang, you're here. Please come in, please come in."
Zhang Youzhi stood dazed on the spot, not knowing what kind of play this old ancestor wanted him to cooperate in now.
"What are you standing there for? Come in quickly." Li Chuxia glared at him fiercely and lowered her voice.
"Oh, okay, okay." Zhang Youzhi cautiously followed Li Chuxia into the house.
"Relax, be natural, keep smiling," Li Chuxia reminded him in a low voice... "Come, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Zhang Youzhi, the assistant to the president of Hengchen Group," Li Chuxia introduced him to Chen Su and the other.
"These two are also my friends. The one on the left is Chen Su, and the one on the right is Ye Sheng," Li Chuxia introduced them to Zhang Youzhi in turn.
As if meeting them for the first time, Zhang Youzhi greeted the two of them.
"Hello, I am Zhang Youzhi."
"Hello, Manager Zhang, please have a seat."
Zhang Youzhi didn't sit down immediately. He glanced at Li Chuxia, seemingly asking for her opinion.
"He told you to sit, so sit. No need to be formal, we're all friends."
Only then did he feel comfortable sitting down.
"Youzhi, my friend's company has run into some trouble. I heard you mention last time that your company has a project and is looking for a reliable partner."
Li Chuxia put down her teacup and said calmly.
"Ah? Is there?" Zhang Youzhi was stunned.
"Whether there is or not, why are you asking me? How would I know? I don't work for your company."
... "Oh, I remember now. There is indeed a procurement project, and we are currently looking for a reliable supply chain company. What is President Ye's company's main business?" Zhang Youzhi thought quickly.
Ye Sheng felt there was hope upon hearing this. "Our company is a supply chain company. Manager Zhang, here is my business card, please take a look."
He hurriedly took a business card out of his pocket and handed it to Zhang Youzhi.
Zhang Youzhi solemnly took the business card from Ye Sheng and said, "Good, I'll have my people contact President Ye later to coordinate."
...Hearing Zhang Youzhi's promise, Ye Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. The current crisis could be considered to have a temporary opening.
As for subsequent matters, he would make plans later.
"Manager Zhang, stay for dinner tonight. I'll call and order a few dishes, and we can have a few drinks."
It was already dinner time, and since Zhang Youzhi had helped Ye Sheng so much, Chen Su couldn't possibly let him go back on an empty stomach.
Zhang Youzhi was a bit hesitant and glanced at Li Chuxia again.
"I've moved in here anyway, so I'm definitely eating here. You can eat wherever you want."
After saying that, she took out her phone, her fingers dancing quickly across the screen, not knowing who she was messaging.
Zhang Youzhi shook his head. "I won't stay for dinner. The company has a meeting in half an hour, so I have to go now. I'll come visit another day when I'm free."
After saying that, he got up to say goodbye and prepared to leave, seemingly in a real hurry to get back for the meeting.
Chen Su walked Zhang Youzhi to the door.
"Manager Zhang, let's meet up again when you're free."
"Alright, let's meet up then."
...Crystal Lake Mirror underground parking lot.
After Zhang Youzhi closed the car door, he let out a heavy sigh.
From the moment he entered Chen Su's house, every nerve in his body had been tense.
The pressure that little ancestor gave off was too strong.
Opening his phone, the most recent message on his WeChat was from Li Chuxia.
The message was very concise, with only two simple words.
"Get lost~"
...At the dining table, after the three of them finished dinner.
Li Chuxia volunteered to wash the dishes again. "You two go to the living room and make tea. I'll just clean up."
How did these words sound a bit off?
The fire of gossip in Ye Sheng's eyes grew even more intense.
After she walked into the kitchen, Ye Sheng looked at Chen Su with a playful expression.
"Are you going to confess honestly, or should I call someone to use torture for an interrogation?"
"If I say we are innocent, would you believe me?"
...In the dormitory group chat.
"Ye Sheng: Brothers, breaking news! Suer has a neighbor who looks even better than a female star, and she's washing dishes at his house right now."
"Li Chuxia Washing Dishes.jpg"
The picture was taken by Ye Sheng while sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the clarity was a bit lacking.
But the other guys in the dormitory understood exactly what he was trying to convey in an instant.
"Feng Wenjun: I think I've seen this one. Suer has brought her to my shop for dinner several times."
"He Youwen: It looks like this hasn't just been a day or two. Confess honestly @Chen Su."
...When Li Chuxia finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, Chen Su and Ye Sheng were scuffling on the sofa, fighting over a phone.
"What are you guys doing?"
