Chapter 307
“I don’t doubt Chase,” Mrs. Sun said. “I’m worried Ashley will create trouble and force Chase to compromise.”
She told the Lins, “You should talk to her.”
The Lins and Suns‘ plans were unknown to Ashley and Tim. As they exited the elevator, three men approached. Tim sighed. What bad luck!
Ashley saw Ren Jifeng, Yao Xinbo, and a third, familiar but unfamiliar face. They greeted Tim.
Mr. Reed, what a coincidence!”
Tim replied insincerely, “Indeed.”
Ren Jifeng, having tried to arrange dinner earlier, largely ignored Ashley. Since we’re here…” Yao Xinbo added, “It’s been a while.”
“No, Tim said.“I’m busy.” He looked at the third man.“Mr. Ji, what brings you here? Ji Qingyue, handsome and expressionless, said, “A few days off.”
Tim, wanting to leave, said, “Dinner another time. We’re busy.”
Ji Qingyue nodded. They entered the private room.
Once away, Ji Qingyue asked, “Did you offend him?” Tim clearly wanted to avoid them. Yao Xinbo was confused.“No.”
Ren Jifeng frowned, saying nothing.
In the private room, Yao Xinbo said, “Tim is impressive. If those projects succeed, his net worth will skyrocket.”
Ji Qingyue said calmly, “He’s always been bright. He’s Nan Zhizhi’s student, his field is booming and he’s skilled. Success is expected.” He glanced at Ren Jifeng. “I heard you were interested in Tim’s girlfriend, then lost interest. Why the dislike? Did she do something? Ren Jifeng’s aversion was obvious.
Ren Jifeng frowned.“Can we not talk about her? Let’s order.”
Ji Qingyue shrugged, changing the subject.
