Back to 49 days before death

But Ye Zichen had seen big scenes before, even in a messy appearance, he still had a calm smile.

Accepting the scrutiny of Zheng Ze and Qi Shaofeng calmly, he rolled up his sleeves and explained: "I'm sorry, I met an acquaintance on the way here, so I was delayed for a while. I'm really sorry to keep Mr. Zheng and Mr. Qi waiting for a long time. .”

When Ye Zichen said this, his posture was calm and his expression was indifferent. If it wasn't for the eye-catching wound at the corner of his mouth that made it difficult to ignore, the two of them would have been fooled by him.But for the sake of the scene, what we want is to give people a step down. Both Zheng Ze and Qi Shaofeng are not tender-headed youths who have just come out of youth, so how could they not understand what he meant.

After a clear smile, Qi Shaofeng followed suit and said: "Oh, yes, it seems that it should be an old acquaintance whom I haven't seen for a long time, otherwise Mr. Ye would not forget the time by reminiscing about the past."

This was originally a promise, Qi Shaofeng didn't intend to continue this topic, but he didn't expect Ye Zichen to stop his hands after listening.He looked towards Zheng Ze, his light gray eyes were as bright as jewels under the light, and his eyes were deep and complex.I don't know how long it took before he nodded seriously and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, so we chatted for a while. Mr. Zheng won't be angry, will he?"

Although Zheng Ze's previous molestation with Jane was a joke, it is an indisputable fact - Ye Zichen is indeed beautiful enough to make people forget their taste.

Some people are born to be favored by the gods, and they bring their own spotlight background music, and they are the focus of attention wherever they go. Ye Zichen is even more outstanding among such people.The exquisite appearance coupled with the tall figure is enough to instantly kill all the stars who rely on their appearance for a living.But what caught his eye the most was his aura that didn't match his appearance at all. He was only in his twenties, but his aura was as deep as the sea, sometimes domineering and sometimes gentle, sometimes outgoing and sometimes restrained, with a strong sense of presence.Just like now, although she is a bit embarrassed, there is also a different kind of dejected beauty when combined with a careful taste.

People always have a strange possessive desire for beautiful things. Some people like to collect them, while others like to destroy them.There will be a different sense of accomplishment when you tear up a good thing, or get your own taste.And the current Ye Zichen is that kind, no longer so beautiful that people dare not touch it, but so beautiful that it is full of temptation.

Zheng Ze thought, if Ye Zichen wanted to tease someone, there would be few people in this world who would not be tempted.

But sadly, that doesn't include him.

Only when an eminent monk enters samadhi can his mind be like still water, he is not comparable to an eminent monk, but he has also passed a thousand sails, and his heart is already like stagnant water.

So even when he was stared at like that, Zheng Ze was no longer as amazed and lost his composure as when he first saw him.When he was ready, he just nodded, looked back at Ye Zichen's deep eyes calmly, and replied with a chuckle: "Don't be angry, the four great joys of being a stranger. The most heartwarming thing is meeting an old friend from another country. Mr. Ye rarely comes here." But this city is able to meet an old friend whom we haven't seen for many years. It's fate. So what if we wait a few minutes for this fate? But..."

He paused, glanced at Ye Zichen's turned up sleeves, and then continued: "However, I just don't know if Mr. Ye left his friend's contact information this time, I'm afraid that Mr. Ye will leave If you forget to exchange information in a hurry, it will be troublesome to find it later.”

"Oh... this reminds me." Ye Zichen bent his lips, blinked his eyes and smiled, "I seem to have forgotten to ask him for his phone number. But don't worry, I know where he is. I'll go and find out myself."

"That's good." Zheng Ze smiled and said, "I think it's almost time, Mr. Ye, why don't we sit down and chat while eating?"

Ye Zichen didn't have any objection this time, he just nodded and said, "Okay."

"Tianyi Pavilion" can be highly praised in this city. Apart from its unique decoration, the most famous thing is probably its dishes.And unlike other hotels, "Tianyi Pavilion" does not give menus, but serves dishes according to the number of customers and the purpose of dining.Their dishes seek refinement and not excess, and taste as well as color, just like this time, there are only three people on the table, and the back kitchen prepares Jiangnan-style side dishes, small plates and small bowls with sweet plum wine, delicate It's really a special taste to taste it carefully.

The three of them already had their own concerns and the previous silent contest had consumed a lot of mind, so after they were seated, the three of them didn't directly start talking about the purpose of today's dinner, but began to eat politely.Without some tit-for-tat confrontation, the meal is considered harmonious.

Satisfied with wine and food, the three of them started talking after the waiter came up to remove the plates and serve clear soup for mouthwash.

It was Qi Shaofeng who spoke first. Although he didn't participate in the previous bout, he also saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right.To avoid embarrassment, he opened his mouth first and said, "I've eaten the meal and drank the wine, Mr. Ye, shouldn't it be time for us to talk about business?"

"It's almost there." Ye Zichen took a sip of clear soup to moisten his throat, tilted his head and asked, "It's just that I don't have a good memory, and I don't know why Boss Qi and Boss Zheng called me here this time. ?”

Ye Zichen's words are polite to others, but it can be regarded as lowering his position several notches, but if it is him, no matter how you hear it, there is a taste of irony.But when did Qi Shaofeng get stabbed like this?

He frowned, and stopped beating around the bush, and said directly: "It doesn't matter if you forget, and I don't mind reminding Mr. Ye. First, my father heard that Mr. Ye was very concerned when he arrived in this city, but he was busy on business trips these days and couldn't get away." Get out, so tell me to accompany Mr. Ye well, and make Mr. Ye feel comfortable this time."

Although Qi Shaofeng was referring to his father, the two of them knew the person he was referring to.

"So it's about this, thank you Uncle Qi." Ye Zichen said with a faint smile when he heard the words: "But Uncle Qi is also, I am no longer a child, he is always so worried, as if I am still a child."

"I'm always a bit nagging when I'm old, Mr. Ye, please forgive me, but my father also has good intentions, I believe Mr. Ye understands."

"Of course I understand." Ye Zichen nodded knowingly, and returned a smile.

"Other things..." Qi Shaofeng paused while speaking, glanced at Zheng Ze, and motioned for him to come by himself.

Zheng Ze nodded after receiving the reminder, and took over the topic: "There is another thing I want to ask Mr. Ye. I wonder if Mr. Ye is interested in coming to this city for development?"

Ye Zichen said: "Of course I have interest, but you also know, Mr. Zheng, that Ye's base camp is doing business in the north, and it is inconvenient to move, so I probably won't come to this city in the short term."

"Really." Zheng Ze showed a regretful expression, "Since this is the case, then Mr. Ye probably has no interest in Zheng's latest project, right?"

"Zheng's project?" Ye Zichen blinked, as if he was recalling something, he slightly curled his fingers and looked at the tabletop lightly, and after a while he continued: "I think Mr. Zheng may have misunderstood. At the investment promotion meeting, I heard someone mention a few words, and I was just a little interested in Mr. Zheng's project. But I didn't expect those people to misunderstand what I meant, and even passed this word to Mr. Zheng, which caused trouble for Mr. Zheng... ...I'm really sorry. I don't come to this city often, so if I do something offensive, please bear with me."

"Really? It seems to be a misunderstanding." If Zheng Ze was the whisperer outside, Ye Zichen might have followed his words and stepped down after saying this.However, Ye Zichen's attitude in the previous contest could not be faked. Zheng Ze could clearly feel his hostility, and the other party showed no intention of restraining himself.So after thinking about it for a while, he didn't agree, but said bluntly: "Although it's a misunderstanding, it's better for us to make it clear. Mr. Ye, Mrs. Zheng does have a project that needs financing and cooperation. Two partners have been identified. It’s another matter if Mr. Ye is interested, but if you don’t intend to participate... please hold your hands high, everyone is a businessman, and when there is inevitably a possible cooperation, Mr. Ye does not need to participate. It made everyone embarrassed, don't you think?"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Ze stood up, looked down at Ye Zichen from top to bottom, his eyes were firm and proud.He knew that what he said would probably offend Ye Zichen, but he had no choice, it would be better to cut the mess quickly than to deal with it like this.If they fall out, there will be at most an "open fight", and I'm afraid it will be Ye Zichen's "secret fight".

However, to Zheng Ze's surprise, Ye Zichen didn't get angry or retort when he heard the words. He turned his head to look at Zheng Ze with a smile in his eyes.Different from the deliberate teasing and probing before, Ye Zichen's smile penetrated deep into his eyes, as bright and dazzling as sunlight piercing through clouds and mist, just like spring flowers blooming and ice and snow melting.

Qi Shaofeng looked sideways and forgot to speak for a moment, while Zheng Ze who was facing him frowned with a serious expression.

"Boss Zheng really..." Sensing the other party's guard, Ye Zichen smiled and shook his head.He stood up slowly, and approached Zheng Ze while talking, "I'm not a scourge, I won't eat you, why are you so afraid of me? Could it be that you're afraid... (falling in love with me)?"

Ye Zichen didn't make a sound for the last few words, but only breathed out with his lips, and his exhalation was like blue, which was especially charming.

Zheng Ze unconsciously took a step back, fully alert.
