Chapter 155: Recognized in Chapter 155?

After reviewing the information, Su Xi associated it with what Han Jiangxue had just said about wanting to get to know her, adding to what she already knew about Ye Zhenzhen.

One was a friend whom Su Xi liked, and the other was a person who schemed so calculatedly to meet her but still went round and round without telling the truth.

Unfortunately, this person was also entangled with the friend she liked.

As for what kind of person Han Jiangxue was, Su Xi could roughly guess from these few words that this woman was definitely not as gentle and kind as she appeared to be now.

Su Xi smiled and replied to Han Jiangxue, "Mrs. Shen just said she wanted to meet me, and now we have met. As for lunch, I’ll have to pass today, my schedule is full."

Even after being tactfully rejected, Han Jiangxue was not discouraged and continued, "Mrs. Cheng, how about tomorrow?"

Su Xi stood up, her smile distant, "Tomorrow we will be leaving Jiangcheng, we’ll talk next time when there’s a chance."

"Then, the next time you visit Jincheng, could Shen Zhaonan and I invite you and President Cheng for a meal?" Seizing the opportunity, Han Jiangxue did not want to give up so easily, her question aimed at securing a definite response from Su Xi.

This way, she would have something to report to Shen Zhaonan when she went back.

Moreover, it would make it convenient for her to arrange a dinner with the Cheng Zheng couple the next time she and Shen Zhaonan visited Jincheng.

Su Xi politely responded, "Mrs. Shen and President Shen are of course welcome to Jincheng."

When replying this way, Su Xi was considering the face of Shen’s Electronics and Shen Zhaonan, not because of Han Jiangxue herself.

Han Jiangxue was overjoyed inside, feeling that Mrs. Cheng was really easygoing.

She smiled and said, "Then Mrs. Cheng, let’s exchange contact information."

Su Xi glanced at her assistant unintentionally, and the assistant immediately pulled out a business card and handed it to Han Jiangxue, "Mrs. Shen, if you need anything, you can call this number."

Han Jiangxue nodded, "Okay, thank you."

In her excitement, Han Jiangxue was simply thrilled to have gotten Mrs. Cheng’s contact information. The assistant escorted her out of the private room, and all the way to the elevator, a happy smile remained on her face.

Once at the underground parking garage, Han Jiangxue drove her car out of the garage with great excitement and found a surface parking spot, then called Shen Zhaonan.

She excitedly said, "Honey, I have good news for you. I met Mrs. Cheng today, and we became friends. Moreover, Mrs. Cheng said that next time we go to Jincheng together, she will treat us. Doesn’t that mean that our family might have a chance to collaborate with them?"

After hearing what Han Jiangxue said, Shen Zhaonan asked with a laugh, "Really? If that’s true, then that’s great. Once I’m done with the matters at hand, I will take you to Jincheng next time. If this deal goes through, I will listen to anything you say from now on."

Han Jiangxue laughed, "How could it not be true? I will tell you all about it when I get home tonight."

"Okay, we’ll talk when you get home tonight."

...

In the private room, after Han Jiangxue left, Su Xi took out her phone and called Ye Zhenzhen.

When Ye Zhenzhen had tried to make plans with her that morning, she had just received a message from her bodyguard saying that a woman was tracking them.

That’s when she found out about Han Jiangxue.

The call connected; Ye Zhenzhen was on her way to the hotel, "President Su, are you done with your things? I am heading to you now."

Ye Zhenzhen referred to Su Xi as President Su because, after many interactions, they had come to understand each other deeply. After all, in Jincheng, most people addressed her as President Su rather than Mrs. Cheng.

Su Xi replied with light laughter, "All done. I’ll wait for you at the hotel lobby, then ride with you."

"Alright, I should be there in about 20 minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xi sat in the private room and thought for a few minutes. Regarding Han Jiangxue, she did not intend to tell Ye Zhenzhen.

After all, she had never intended to have any further cooperation with Han Jiangxue or the Shen family.

For now, the Su family and the Shen family were still in competition.

As for personal relations, if Han Jiangxue had any conflict with Ye Zhenzhen, Su Xi thought she would unconditionally be on Ye Zhenzhen’s side, regardless of right or wrong.

This was a duty of friendship.

Su Xi came down from the hotel, and in less than two minutes, Ye Zhenzhen’s car arrived at the front door.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Su Xi. After getting in the car, Ye Zhenzhen smiled and asked, "Shall we go for lunch first, then a concert in the afternoon?"

"Sure, I’ll follow the plan of the big star."

Ye Zhenzhen: "I just hope it’s not a bother for President Su."

"A private concert is hardly a bother. I should be thanking you and President Song for your warm hospitality, hahaha."

"Of course, you should."

The lunch and the concert were both arranged by Song Jinze, who had originally planned to go horseback riding, but that was canceled due to the rainy weather.

In the morning at home, Song Yuchen suddenly got the idea to take Cheng Jiaming to the Science Museum in Jiangcheng and the Provincial Museum—both places weren’t too far from each other.

Thinking that there would be fun places for the kids, Song Jinze figured that he and Cheng Zheng could just accompany them, so he arranged the concert for Ye Zhenzhen and Su Xi.

The concert came up in conversation the previous evening in the Song family’s living room when Song Jinze overheard Ye Zhenzhen mentioning it.

Calling it a private event simply meant using money and influence to have an extra performance added.

After all, such concerts usually required booking tickets half a month in advance.

Cheng Zheng, wary of traffic jams in the morning, had his driver take him to the riverside. From there, he took the Song family’s yacht to meet with Song Jinze and the two little ones at the Science Museum on the other side of the river.

Today, Song Jinze dressed very casually, wearing a dark-colored baseball cap, and the two little ones were wearing baseball caps as well.

This attire was chosen for convenience and to avoid being recognized.

Because Song Yuchen had appeared on a show recently, and no longer went out with Ye Zhenzhen, Song Jinze made sure to have him wear a mask.

Only Cheng Zheng was dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

At a glance, he looked much like the two bodyguards accompanying them.

The only difference probably lay in the styles and fabrics of their suits.

After all, Cheng Zheng’s suit was custom-made.

But how would ordinary people out for fun notice these things? When Song Yuchen called out "Dad," a passerby A next to them commented quietly, with a laugh, "Those must be rich folks taking their kid out for fun, huh? Are those three following them bodyguards?"

Passerby B: "With that entourage, no doubt about it. You can tell just by looking."

The voices of the two people speaking were neither loud nor soft, but Song Jinze and Cheng Zheng, walking behind the children, heard every word clearly.

Song Jinze glanced at Cheng Zheng with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Cheng Zheng: ...

He was a bit stunned and looked down at his own clothes, then at the clothes of the two bodyguards.

Then he looked over the attire of the two little ones and Song Jinze...

All three were in casual outfits.

Only he was in a suit and leather shoes, holding a children’s thermal cup belonging to little Cheng Jiaming.

A flicker of realization crossed Cheng Zheng’s eyes—so now he was Song Jinze’s bodyguard?

So, Song Jinze, the cunning capitalist, had taken advantage of him again!
