The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Chapter 1695 - 1997: Restaurant Peril (2)

Yang He is the eldest son of one of Jiang Yue’e’s friends, not only handsome but also talented, managing the family’s entire overseas business at a young age. Without the help of the Yang Family, the Hongyu Group would not have developed so smoothly abroad.

Lately, Nanrong Wanqing has had quite a bit of contact with Yang He, although it was all for the development of Hongyu Group. Every few days, Yang He would invite her to various banquets to meet people of all walks of life. Only by building her own network can Hongyu Group develop steadily and gain more opportunities.

In this regard, Nanrong Wanqing does not resist, because she knows the importance of connections for a business. However, through their interactions during this time, Yang He has hinted at her many times, but she has never responded. In fact, when Jiang Yue’e introduced Yang He, she understood her mother’s intention—to find an excellent man to help her slowly forget Ling Chen.

There’s no denying that among the many young talents Jiang Yue’e introduced, Yang He is indeed one of the best. He’s excellent in all aspects, with humorous and witty conversations, always making people feel relaxed. Moreover, Yang He knows his boundaries well, never discussing awkward topics or suddenly confessing his feelings with a lot of sweet but useless words. He is more adept at expressing his feelings through actions.

If she hadn’t met Ling Chen before, she might really have been moved. There’s an old saying that you can’t have both the fish and the bear’s paw. However, in terms of looks and talent, Yang He has it all.

After leaving the company, Nanrong Wanqing initially wanted to drive herself, but Jiang Yue’e pulled her into Yang He’s car, a limited edition Porsche coupe.

"Wanqing, tell Zhong Wei and the others not to follow. We’re just going out for a meal, no need for such a large entourage. Besides, this is not our home country, there’s not so much danger."

Hearing Jiang Yue’e’s words, Nanrong Wanqing nodded slightly, gesturing to Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui following behind to stay at the company and not to follow in the car.

Watching Yang He’s Porsche gradually move away, Liang Zhao Hui turned to Zhong Wei and said, "Captain Zhong, you’re really not going to follow them?"

"Yes, follow, why not? Have you forgotten the chairman’s instructions?"

"The chairman?" Liang Zhao Hui was slightly taken aback but immediately understood Zhong Wei’s meaning. The chairman Zhong Wei referred to was not Nanrong Wanqing but Ling Chen. In the beginning, Ling Chen sought to secure more benefits for Zhong Wei and his group by having them join Falcon Company, and then assigned them to Hongyu Group in the name of Falcon Company, specifically responsible for Nanrong Wanqing’s safety. This way, Zhong Wei’s team could receive two salaries, significantly improving their welfare.

Although Ling Chen had not contacted Nanrong Wanqing, through Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui, Ling Chen was basically informed about Nanrong Wanqing’s situation. In the event of danger to Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Chen would be notified immediately.

Before long, the three arrived at an upscale western restaurant by car. As they got out, a waiter immediately approached, taking the keys handed over by Yang He, and parked the car in the underground garage.

Within the restaurant, a waiter led the three to a gracefully appointed private space on the rooftop. Yang He took two menus and handed them to Nanrong Wanqing and Jiang Yue’e with gentlemanly manners, saying, "Mrs. Jiang, Wanqing, the steak in this place is quite good, the ingredients are fresh, it’s all selected prime beef, you should try it. Also, I recommend their caviar, it’s delicious, best paired with a ’93 Lafite."

Jiang Yue’e smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, since you say so, I must try it."

"And you, Wanqing?" Yang He shifted his gaze to Nanrong Wanqing.

"One serving of pasta, and a bowl of borscht as well."

Upon hearing Nanrong Wanqing’s choice, Yang He smiled and said, "It seems Wanqing has quite a high taste, the simpler things can better reflect this restaurant’s culinary skills, but I believe they won’t disappoint you."

Facing Yang He’s compliment, Nanrong Wanqing acted as if she hadn’t heard, looking through the glass window beside her towards the distant street view, sitting quietly and motionlessly.

Seeing her daughter reluctant to speak, Jiang Yue’e became somewhat helpless and had to take the initiative to bring up a topic to avoid an awkward atmosphere.

"Yang He, how are your parents doing? They’re both very busy people, I usually just talk to them on the phone, haven’t seen them for quite some time."

"They’ve been busy for most of their lives, and now that they’re older, they inevitably experience some health discomforts. I returned to the country recently to visit them and especially made them a gym card so they can exercise more when they have time. Mrs. Jiang, I’ve obtained a lifetime membership card at a fitness club in this city. If you have time, it would be nice to exercise with me. Even though you are healthy and seem very young, working out doesn’t hurt and might keep you young and full of energy forever."

Jiang Yue’e couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "You sure know how to talk. You’ll definitely be someone girls like in the future."

Yang He smiled faintly, glancing at the indifferent Nanrong Wanqing sitting beside him, and said, "Mrs. Jiang, please don’t say that, I don’t want to please too many girls. For me, it would be enough if I could win one woman’s heart in this lifetime."

"That’s right," Jiang Yue’e nodded, saying, "Mrs. Jiang supports you. A man should indeed be dedicated, not be wishy-washy, enjoying some while longing for more. Such men are too unreliable. Unfortunately, our Wanqing doesn’t have such good fortune. If she could find someone like you, I would be relieved for the rest of my life."

"Mrs. Jiang, Wanqing is so outstanding, she will surely find her true love."

Jiang Yue’e sighed softly, saying, "Choosing for oneself may not be the best."

As they spoke, a sudden ’bang’ sounded from downstairs in the restaurant, similar to a gunshot. Instantly, all the guests’ attention was attracted by the noise, and everyone whispered to discuss what might have happened downstairs.

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from the staircase, and everyone turned their heads to see several burly Caucasians rushing up, each holding a gun.

"Nobody move." A Caucasian man with a submachine gun fired two shots at the ceiling, shouting, "Everyone get down on the ground."

"Quick, quick, quick, do what I say if you don’t want to die."

Seeing the armed Caucasians walking back and forth beside them, the faces of Jiang Yue’e and the other two immediately turned pale. Yang He took a deep breath, forcibly maintaining his composure, and said, "Mrs. Jiang, Wanqing, do as they say. They’re just after the money; they won’t harm us."
