One Can't Judge by Appearance
Chapter 27
âIt seems that my sense of existence is still too low,â Song Dynasty chuckled, âMiss Yan is sitting in front of me and canât even notice me.â
This is a bit ambiguous. Yan Xi glanced at his colleagues in the advertising department out of the corner of his eyes and got up and said, âMr. Song is really good at joking, itâs really unfortunate today, my show is not ready yet, and now I have to go back to step up for the shooting.â
Song Dynasty then stood up from the sofa and sent Yan Xi to the door very gracefully: âMiss Yan, do I have the honor to invite you to a light meal tonight?â
Yan Xi was about to refuse when the phone rang. She smiled apologetically at him and walked to the side to answer the phone.
Song Dynasty vaguely heard Yan Xi call the person on the other side of the phone, Mr. Yuan. For some reason, he actually remembered Yuan Yi. Before college, he had always been better than Yuan Yi, and whoever would sigh when mentioning Yuan Yi in the circle.
He doesnât know when Yuan Yi started returning to the right path. Not only did Yuan Yi create some fame in the business community, but he also became the object of comparison for many of his peers.
He, the child that is always used as an object of comparison to someone elseâs family, watched an old classmate who was not as good as himself take his position. When he returned to China, he often heard some people say how the second son of the Yuan family was. The content is that they respected Yuan Yi quite a lot.
âMr. Song, Iâm sorry, I have an appointment with a friend tonight,â Yan Xi hung up the phone and walked to Song Dynasty, âThank you for your hospitality.â
âSince Miss Yan doesnât have time, I will arrange the next appointment,â Song Dynasty took out his mobile phone, âCan Miss Yan leave a contact information?â
Yan Xi read a string of numbers, and she nodded to him: âGoodbye, excuse me.â
âSee you next time,â Song Dynasty watched Yan Xi leave, looked at the string of phone numbers, and sent a message to the other partyâs mobile phone.
âSister Yan,â seeing Yan Xi coming back, âHas the contract of the big customer been signed?â
âSigned,â Yan Xi found that her water was cold and took another cup. âNot only is he a big customer, but also a handsome guy.â
âI donât believe it,â Xiao Yang said suspiciously, âIf it was a handsome guy, would you be willing to come back so early?â
Yan Xi:Â What misunderstandings do colleagues have about her?
Since the call, Yuan Yi has not been working for half an hour. The planning book is in his hand, but he does not read it. When he clicked on WeChat, it was full of messy messages. He deliberately clicked on Yan Xiâs WeChat, and sure enough, no new moments were sent to her circle of friends.
He clicked on Weibo, which he hadnât used for a long time, and searched for the word âYan Xiâ casually, and he actually found a Weibo account called host Yan Xi. Click in and take a look. The Weibo authentication is the host of âThose Things Around Us,â and it seems that it is really Yan Xiâs own account.
Looking at the content of Weibo, there are only three in total, two of which are related to work. The first one was posted when Weibo was opened. There were a lot of comments, but there were only 20,000 or 30,000 Weibo fans. Click on the comment area, full of programs about firefightersâ episodes.
Only twenty or thirty messages were left when the third Weibo post was sent out.
He stared at these three Weibo posts for a long time and clicked Follow. There are still two hours before he and Yan Xi have an appointment for dinner, but he doesnât want to work now. Maybe he is a little tired.
Leaning on the chair and closing his eyes to refresh his mind, he thought about what to say to Yan Xi later. What food to order, and whether she would be satisfied with the food.
The innocent look of her staring at him.
Opening his eyes irritably, he picked up the suit jacket on the back of his chair and strode out of the office.
[Mr. Yuan: I just passed by your TV station while doing business. You donât need to drive later, just take my car.]
When Yan Xi saw this text message, she didnât think much about it and directly replied with a good word.
Yuan Yi drove the car into the parking lot of the Imperial TV Building. As soon as he reached the passageâs entrance, several men came out from inside.
âYuan Yi?â Song Dynasty looked at the man in a suit and leather shoes, who didnât look very approachable, and stopped. He certainly wouldnât have recognized him if he hadnât seen Yuan Yiâs current photos after returning to China.
They have been high school classmates for three years, and they donât have much friendship. Now they are rivals in the shopping mall. It was complicated for the Song Dynasty to have a good impression of Yuan Yi.
After a lapse of nine years, Yuan Yi didnât remember what the Song Dynasty looked like. Now he saw a strange man stop him. He tilted his head slightly, and his face was full of alienation.
âClassmate for three years. I havenât seen you for many years,â Song Dynasty said with a smile, as if he didnât mind Yuan Yiâs indifferent attitude, âIâm Song Dynasty.â
âIt turned out to be you,â Yuan Yi put his hand in his pocket, his voice lazy and low, âI heard that you started a business abroad. How is your development now?â
âHow can abroad be better than the motherland,â Song Chao smiled. âNo matter how well I develop abroad, I still want to come back and serve the motherland in my heart.â
âOh,â Yuan Yi glanced at him, âI thought you couldnât get along abroad, so you had to return home and seek family protectionâ¦â He changed the subject, âBut with Mr. Songâs ability, there will definitely be no such thing.â
The advertising department staff didnât know Yuan Yiâs identity but seeing his aura, no one dared to talk nonsense. They heard that the Song Dynasty and Mr. Yuan did not seem to be on good terms, and they were shocked and worried that the two would pinch each other at the elevator entrance.
âMr. Yuan came to the TV station to talk about cooperation, and he didnât even bring his assistant?â Song Dynasty knew he couldnât continue talking with Yuan Yi on this topic. This person has a bad temper, and it would be unsightly for both of them to be unable to get off the stage.
âI picked up my friends for dinner,â Yuan Yi turned his face and looked arrogant. âThese small collaborations can be handed over to the people below. Thereâs no need for me to do them myself.â
Song Dynasty pushed his glasses, his voice colder: âThere are some things. Itâs better to do it yourself.â
Before Yuan Yi could say anything, the phone rang.
âMr. Yuan, have you arrived at the parking lot? Iâm sorry, Iâll come down immediately.â
âWell, good.â Yuan Yi hung up the phone, walked to the side with the phone, and stood still.
Seeing that Yuan Yi looked half-dead and unwilling to continue their talk. Song Dynasty tried so hard to not stop the smile on his face, turned around, and walked out. After so many years, this person just seemed to be well-behaved, but the things he did still made him uncomfortable.
âYou donât need to send me more than this, please go back.â Song Dynasty turned to the people in the advertising department, âYour stationâs programs are very exciting, especially Miss Yanâs programs, which are very interesting.â
Standing in the corner, Yuan Yi suddenly looked up at the Song Dynasty. His eyes were clearly black and white and amazingly bright. But soon, he lowered his head again, leaning lazily against the wall, still without the slightest expression on his face.
After sitting in the car, the smile on Song Dynastyâs face disappeared without a trace. He took off his glasses, opened the car window, and looked at the elevator entrance passage, âWait.â He wanted to know who Yuan Yi had a crush on.
If he canâ¦
Yan Xi walked out of the elevator and saw Yuan Yi leaning lazily against the wall, âMr.Yuan, sorry to keep you waiting.â
Yuan Yi opened his eyes, glanced at Yan Xiâs straight and slender legs, and said slowly, âYour legs are short, I forgive you.â
Short? She has long legs that countless people envy. Where is she short?
âI thinkâ¦â Yan Xi patted her knees, âThe length of my legs is still pretty good.â
Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows: âAre you sure?â
Yan Xi held her face and smiled, âOf course, I canât compare with you.â For Yuan Yiâs sexy long legs, she can ignore him, saying her legs are short.
âLetâs go,â Yuan Yi felt that he shouldnât care about long and short legs with a woman. He will be like other men. âI originally planned to invite you to dinner on the weekend, but tomorrow Iâm going on a business trip abroad, so I had to make an appointment for the meal in advance.â
âIn fact, if you donât have time, it doesnât matter if you donât invite me.â Yan Xi coughed dryly, âAmong friends, donât worry about such trivial things.â
âFriend?â Yuan Yi took a step forward and was half a head taller than Yan Xi, which made Yan Xi suddenly feel oppressed.
Could it be that her little thought of wanting to hug his things was seen through?
âI have never made friends of the opposite sex,â Yuan Yi turned around and walked forward. Yan Xi couldnât see his expression.
âBut for the sake of you wanting to be my friend, I can reluctantly admit that you are my friend.â
Then should she thank the Lord?
Yan Xi trotted two steps to keep up: âMr. Yuan, I know your legs are long, but can you walk slower?â
Yuan Yi stopped suddenly, and Yan Xi almost hit his back. Fortunately, she was strong and covered her nose in time, so there was no accidental physical contact.
âCalled sir among friends?â
âItâs not sir, itâs Mr.Yuan,â She is a young single dog with gold and diamonds. She doesnât want to call other men, sir, casually. At that time, she doesnât know who will suffer. âThenâ¦I call you Yuan Yi?â
Yuan Yi hadnât said anything yet. She muttered in a low voice: âIt sounds like he is willing.â
âWhatever your want,â Yuan Yi put his hand in his trouser pocket, showing a cold posture, âLetâs go, get in the car.ââ
âCan I call you Yuan Xiaoer?â
âThen Iâll call you Yan Dahe, would you like to?â
âThen why donât you want to? Thatâs what my friends call me, and the big rivers and streams are whatever you call them.â
(I kinda forget she actually has a different kind of name, but with the same meaning, her father and senior in station call her Xiao Yan, her college friend call her Yan Dahe, and her WeChat name big stream call me⦠Her pen name for her comic strip project Xiao Xi (From Yan Xi), has the same meaning as big rivers/big streams too)
ââ¦â¦â
He knew that this woman was abnormal. A woman was called Dahe all day long. Is it very nice?
Why isnât her name Pacific?
Song Dynasty watched Yan Xi and Yuan Yi get into the car noisily. Although he couldnât hear what the two said, they should be very familiar with how they spoke. Thinking of Yan Xiâs politeness when facing him, the expression on his face became colder.
Click.
The glassesâ lenses were pinched out of the frame. The glasses were thrown out of the car window in disgust. Song Dynasty felt a little happy when he heard something hitting the ground. He rubbed his temples to hide the coldness in his eyes, âGo home.â
âYes.â In the quiet car, there was an assistantâs response.
After a meal, Yan Xi found that Yuan Yi had drunk at least a large bottle of drink: âYuan Xiaoer, canât you eat spicy?â
âCan you change my name?â Yuan Yi wiped his mouth clean. Second brother Yuan (Yuan Er), Brother Yi, and Yuan Yi are acceptable. Why should she choose Yuan Xiao Er?
âI think the name Yuan Xiaoer is very cute,â Yan Xi lowered her eyelids slightly, âIf you⦠donât like it, forget it.â
Seeing her look so wronged and sad, Yuan Yi knew very well in his heart that this woman was acting. But after holding it for a long time, he only gritted his teeth and said. âYou can call me whatever you like. Donât use messy adjectives like cute. Can I, a big master, use this kind of word to describe?â
Looking at his red ears, Yan Xi nodded: âOh.â
He agreed quickly, but his attitude was superficial, and his expression was disapproving.
Yuan Yi looked at her, unable to say a word for a long time, and finally turned around to settle the bill and walked out of the restaurant with Yan Xi.
There is a movie theater opposite the restaurant. Yuan Yi was blinded by the vast display screen constantly flashing outside the movie city.
âNo, uncle, we donât have an appointment.â
