250: suspicion

On the other side, seeing that Ye Su had not replied to any more messages, Chen Qi stared at his chat window with Ye Su and fell into deep thought:

"The batch of cars sold by Chicheng Second-hand Car Dealership are water-damaged cars..."

Logically speaking, it was impossible for a dealership to make such a mistake.

Unless, as Ye Su said, Xu Jiada was the one pulling strings behind the scenes.

This was a major matter, so Chen Qi naturally couldn't just pretend nothing had happened.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qi got up casually and approached a man of about thirty-five who was staring blankly at his workstation.

"Da-ge."

"Huh?!"

Suddenly patted on the shoulder, Xu Jiada was clearly startled.

He initially wanted to turn around and curse, but when he saw it was Chen Qi who had called him, Xu Jiada immediately put on a smile. "President Chen, is there something you need?"

"What are you thinking about? Dazing off first thing in the morning?"

"Nothing, really. I probably just haven't fully woken up yet."

"Oh." Chen Qi nodded, and then asked casually:

"What's the situation over at Chicheng Second-hand Car Dealership right now?"

"Ah, you mean Chicheng?" Hearing Chen Qi suddenly ask about this, a flash of panic crossed Xu Jiada's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and answered with feigned composure:

"The paperwork is almost done. We're just waiting for you to sign the contract this afternoon. Once finance releases the funds, we can transport the cars back."

Under normal circumstances, Chen Qi definitely wouldn't have noticed anything amiss.

But now, with Ye Su's warning, Chen Qi noticed the detail of Xu Jiada's eyes subconsciously darting around as he answered.

Could what Ye Su said be true?

Did Xu Jiada really collude with Chicheng Second-hand Car Dealership in secret to sell him that batch of water-damaged cars?

At this point, Chen Qi believed Ye Su's news a bit more.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi gave Xu Jiada a meaningful look:

"Although the batch of cars we are importing has a favorable price, the total cost isn't low. You must keep a close eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"I know that, President Chen. Don't worry."

Xu Jiada agreed verbally, but his heart was pounding, feeling a sense of unease.

Then, Xu Jiada comforted himself in his mind:

The total value of that batch of cars is so high. It's only natural for President Chen to be cautious and give a few extra reminders. There's no need to scare myself.

"Alright." Chen Qi didn't say anything more. "Then we'll head over to their place this afternoon to sign the contract."

"Understood, President Chen."

Nodding in response, Chen Qi left Xu Jiada's workstation, pulling out his phone to send a message.

Seeing Chen Qi leave, Xu Jiada quietly let out a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

...

On the other side, Chen Xinyi, led by Ye Su, walked into Building 10 of the dormitories at Lingnan Institute of Engineering.

"Holy crap, which department is this girl from?"

"She's so beautiful, how come I've never heard of her before?"

The makeup Chen Xinyi had spent so much time on this morning finally proved its worth after she entered the boys' dormitory building.

Although the various department beauties voted on privately by the boys in the school had physical appearances comparable to Chen Xinyi's,

but Chen Xinyi, nourished by Ye Su recently, exuded a mature Charm all over.

Additionally, Chen Xinyi had tucked the hem of her sheer, short-sleeved top into her skirt.

This not only outlined her waistline but also put her abundant assets on full display.

To the male college students in the dormitory who had not yet entered society and could only feast their eyes on those beauty-filtered, suggestive female streamers on short video platforms, this undoubtedly possessed an extremely lethal appeal.

"Is that Ye Su's new girlfriend?"

"She's way too top-tier!"

The neighboring dorm rooms on the third floor belonged to students of the same major or even the same class. They usually visited each other's rooms, so they naturally knew Ye Su and were aware that his life had been thriving this semester.

Seeing Ye Su bring back such a beautiful girlfriend now, their eyes were about to pop out.

Standing at the doors, they only began to chatter and discuss after watching the two of them enter Dorm 305.

"Damn, Ye Su is eating way too well!"

"I remember last semester he was still with the beauty of the neighboring department, who seemed to be called Qin Manyun. In the blink of an eye, he's changed to a girlfriend who is even more top-tier than Qin Manyun!"

"This gigolo really deserves to die!"

Living in the Computer Science Department where there were many wolves but little meat, the male college students on the third floor felt nothing but pure envy, jealousy, and hate towards Ye Su's feat of finding two such stunning girlfriends in a row.

Even though Ye Su had experienced some minor ups and downs over the past three months, he was, after all, only 21 years old. It was inevitable that he would have a bit of the vanity typical of this age.

Seeing the envious looks from his classmates in the same building, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Holding Chen Xinyi's hand, the moment he stepped into Dorm 305, Ye Su immediately gave his opening line: "My sons, your father has come to see you!"

"Yo, you actually remembered to come ba—"

Hearing Ye Su's voice, Jiang Zhibin habitually started to retort as he turned his head toward the door.

When he saw that there was another woman besides Ye Su, the second half of his complaint came to an abrupt halt.

At the same time, the other two roommates who also hadn't gone out noticed that Dorm 305 had a guest.

Knowing that this was Ye Su's rich girlfriend, and also the benefactor who had helped improve their quality of life recently, all three of them stood up to welcome her:

"Hello, Sister-in-law."

This sensible and direct form of address made Chen Xinyi secretly delighted but also a bit embarrassed. She could only reply with a smile:

"Hello, my name is Chen Xinyi. You can just call me by my name, no need to call me Sister-in-law."

"Exactly, why call her Sister-in-law?"

Ye Su's agreement made Chen Xinyi feel a bit downcast, thinking that Ye Su didn't want to acknowledge her position in front of his roommates.

But in the next second, Ye Su's words made Chen Xinyi want to punch him on the spot.

"We can't mess up the hierarchy. I am your godfather, so you should call her godmother instead."

Ye Su was so close to the other four in the room that they lived together, so he naturally spoke without any filter.

But for the other four, there was someone in the room whom they had only just met.

Feeling constrained, they couldn't easily lash out in public, so they could only endure Ye Su this time and gave him no response whatsoever.

"Come on in and have a seat first. We didn't know you were coming, so we didn't have time to tidy up the dorm. Please don't mind."

It was still Fang Zewei who knew his manners. He bypassed Ye Su and invited Chen Xinyi in to sit down.

As for Ye Su, who belonged to Dorm 305 in life and would remain a ghost of Dorm 305 in death, naturally no one bothered to host him.

"It's not messy, it looks quite tidy." Chen Xinyi walked into the room with a smile and sat straight in Ye Su's seat.

This left the seatless Ye Su standing to the side in frustration.

"I've been hearing Ye Su mention you guys all this time, but I didn't expect we'd only meet now."

"We've also been hearing Ye Su mention you all the time."

"Oh?" Chen Xinyi asked with interest. "What did he say about me?"

"Just bragging to us all day, saying how beautiful his girlfriend is."

Hearing Jiang Zhibin's words, Chen Xinyi glanced at Ye Su happily.

Meanwhile, Ye Su also gave his eldest godson a thumbs-up in his heart.

With this assist from him, it seemed tonight was a sure thing again!
