Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Call Auntie (1)

Yaobang?

No wonder today in the meeting hall, a bunch of people were all afraid that the old man was protecting him. It must be that the old man’s visit to Yaobang was known by Zhan Dapeng; how could others not know?

Really getting more muddled with age. Protecting his own son so blatantly without fear of criticism.

Xiao Yebai’s squinting eyes narrowed into slits.

Zhan Dapeng seemed to guess what he was thinking. If Zhan Dapeng were to speak, it was undoubtedly Xiao Jianming declaring to everyone, before the battle began, that he was always optimistic about his own son.

In other words, the rumors that were previously spread might be correct. The Yang Family’s daughter was interested in Xiao Yebai, and therefore she might support Xiao Yebai as a virtuous wife at any time. In this case, Xiao Yebai’s chances of success were very great.

This move by Xiao Jianming was not so much a strategy as it was showing his son’s army, making it a challenge: let’s see how you can win this battle without the help of the Yang Family’s daughter. At most, you are just that good; a son can never outplay his father.

Speaking of those competitors, the sisters of the Xiao Family, just how capable are they, truly? To be honest, Zhan Dapeng really couldn’t fathom it. After all, each of these sisters had their own backing, not to mention they usually stayed behind the scenes. This time, it was finally their first public appearance before everyone.

Were they surprisingly capable beyond everyone’s expectations, or just like the dissipated Xiao Yebai as rumored outside, all show and no substance, merely decorative pillows that were pretty but useless?

Zhan Dapeng’s heart couldn’t help but thud.

At that moment, someone knocked on the office door twice.

Zhan Dapeng and Xiao Yebai were both startled. This place was where they met privately within the company; generally, nobody knew about it.

Also, where had Xiaolian, who was supposed to be on the lookout, run off to?

Zhan Dapeng walked over and peered through the door’s peephole first.

He saw Sister Yao standing at the door.

After signaling to Xiao Yebai with a glance, Xiao Yebai nodded in response.

Zhan Dapeng opened the door.

"Director, you really are here?" Sister Yao seemed quite surprised as she spoke to him.

"How did you follow here?" Zhan Dapeng asked.

"The manager sent me to find the director, the documents you requested," Sister Yao started to explain her presence, "Your office door was locked, and I asked someone who said you might have gone to the meeting hall. I happened to take the stairs, and I saw you heading this way—"

As Sister Yao was explaining, Xiaolian rushed back in a hurry from outside, his expression a bit anxious because he had just gone to the restroom and hadn’t expected someone to find this place.

They hadn’t taken the elevator the whole way, but had walked part of the way via the stairs; it turned out that, by chance, Sister Yao had spotted their trace.

However, it wasn’t a big issue. If it were something truly important, they wouldn’t talk about it within the company. Xiao Yebai was merely taking a break here, waiting for others to leave before he left himself. Mainly because there were too many old crocodiles around today, and Xiao Yebai didn’t want to mix with those sly old men and leave together.

When Sister Yao handed over the documents to Zhan Dapeng, she caught a glimpse of the man sitting inside Zhan Dapeng’s office. She blinked in surprise upon seeing him.

Very familiar. And more than that, such a handsome male face was unforgettable. Sister Yao immediately remembered the time she brought Gu Nuan home, and Gu Nuan’s husband came out looking for her.

Why was Gu Nuan’s husband here, and why did he seem so familiar with Zhan Dapeng?

At this point, Zhan Dapeng directly introduced him to Sister Yao, "This is Director Xiao."

Director Xiao? In Changda, there were only two male directors with the surname Xiao, one was Xiao Jianming, and this man was definitely not Xiao Jianming, so it could only be Xiao Yebai, Xiao Jianming’s only son! The notorious prodigal son!
