Chapter 413: Flaunting Affection (1)
“Manager and Big Brother Han… But… But, when you first met each other, you were obviously…” Shuang Shuang’s eyes were wide open as she pointed at Han Yichen and Zhao Youlin with her trembling finger. She stared at them intensely like she was producing a laser beam.
Everyone still vividly remembered the time when Zhao Youlin and Han Yichen had first met each other.
At that time, they clearly did not look like they knew each other. How could they be relatives, or even be as close as siblings?
“Indeed, that was our first time meeting each other. At that time, both of us also had no idea that we are blood-related. This matter is rather complicated. Let us talk about my older brother’s identity first.” Zhao Youlin swept a glance across the crowd before she said with a faint smile, “Have you guys heard of Sheng Shi Group?”
“I know! I know! Sheng Shi Group is a financial bond company. I used to read it from the finance magazine.” Wei Yizhi finally found somewhere to interject as he quickly raised his hand and answered the question.
However, soon, he realized something was not quite right. “But, I heard that this company has declared bankruptcy a few months ago. Manager, why are you asking this question? Wait a minute, I seem to remember that the magazine used to state that the surname of the president of Sheng Shi Group is… Han…”
“His surname is Han?” The others were not idiots. Upon hearing Xiao Wei’s words, each of them had a guess in their hearts. The way they looked at Han Yichen grew increasingly intense.
“Does this mean…”
“Big Brother Han is…”
“The president of Sheng Shi Group?”
They asked the question cautiously. Han Yichen nodded his head in response.
When Mu Tingfeng saw this, his eyes lit up. A hint of puzzlement and deep thought flashed across his eyes.
“Ahhh! So, it’s true! Big Brother Han, you were really the president of Sheng Shi Group! Even though you were the former president, you were at least a president! A living president!”
“Darn it! I didn’t even know that the president has always been right beside me. I really want to poke my own eyes to seek forgiveness!”
Their heated discussion had inevitably reached An Yue’s ears. She was equally shocked and had her eyes sprung wide open.
However, what shocked them the most was about to come.
Zhao Youlin watched calmly as the people engaged in a heated discussion. By the time they stayed calm, she dropped another bomb once again. “Alright, so now you all know why Big Brother Han was so washed-up at that time, right?”
The crowd’s expression turned stiff. Only then did they recall Xiao Wei’s words. Sheng Shi Group went bankrupt a few months ago. That was the reason why Han Yichen had ended up wandering on the streets.
When An Yue realized this, she recalled her first time bumping into Han Yichen. At that time, his company was bankrupt. He had suddenly lost everything overnight and such an experience was like falling down from heaven to hell. Thinking of this, her heart unwittingly clenched, including her hand, which she had used to hold Han Yichen’s sleeve.
Han Yichen sensed An Yue’s actions. He lowered his head, only to meet her gaze that was filled with worry and heartache. He was stunned for a moment. The feeling of warmth sprouted in his heart and he stretched out his hand to hold An Yue’s hand. He said softly, “It’s okay. Those days are over.”
An Yue did not say anything. Her hand clenched more tightly as she held Han Yichen’s sleeve. She leaned closely against Han Yichen as if to give him some warmth even though it was not quite the right time to do so.
Han Yichen took all that in. He enjoyed the peace and warmth provided by his beloved one.
Zhao Youlin did not let the atmosphere stay low for long. Soon, she looked at the crowd and added, “So, have any of you heard of Sheng Huang Group?”
“I know! I know! Sheng Huang Group is a huge entertainment company. My favorite celebrity comes from the Sheng Huang Group!”
“Eh, is Sheng Huang Group an entertainment company? I heard that Sheng Huang Group is a hotel and catering company. My friend once spent a night in a hotel under Sheng Huang Group and he said it has cost him an arm and a leg.
“You guys know so little about Sheng Huang Group. You are so outdated.” Xin Yi glared at them disdainfully. “Let me tell you, Sheng Huang Group is actually a large company that embarks on entertainment, finance, food and beverage as well as property development businesses. Sheng Huang Group was one of the largest companies in Shalnork. Have you all forgotten that there are many people who wish to work in Sheng Huang Group after their graduation?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youlin smiled as she interrupted him, “Many people wanted to work in the Sheng Huang Group, huh? Are you one of them too?”
“Of course it would be good if I could join the company. But, Sheng Huang Group is a large company… Eh, hold on. Manager, why did you suddenly mention Sheng Huang Group?”
Xin Yi’s question finally managed to attract the rest’s attention. Their expression turned strange as they recalled Zhao Youlin’s question.
“Urm… I hope it’s not what I’m thinking, right? Big Brother Han is so rich, is it because he is working for Sheng Huang Group?”
Zhao Youlin looked profoundly at the person who spoke this. She quietly heaved a sigh, “Why are you all having so little faith in Big Brother Han? Why must he be working for Sheng Shi Group instead of being… the president of the company?”
Cold breeze blew past them once again. The atmosphere inside the house was so quiet that even the sound of the pin dropping to the floor could be heard.
After some time, an airy whisper was heard, “Fine. I only have one question, is it too late to worship him as my god now?”
“Sobs… same here.”
“Me too.”
“Another one here.”
“A president once stood before me, but I failed to appreciate his presence. By the time I recovered my senses, the president had already been taken by others. If only God is willing to grant me another opportunity, I would say, everyone, freeze. He is mine!”
The crowd fell speechless.
The young men and women were in turmoil. Seeing this, the corners of Nie Yunfan’s lips unwittingly twitched. He smiled dryly as he said, “Your staff is… very noisy!”
“Isn’t that good? At least they don’t sigh all day round, making the atmosphere gloomy, right? Zhao Youlin turned her head around and cast a glance at Nie Yunfan.
Nie Yunfan swore to god that he just caught a glimpse of pure sarcasm in Zhao Youlin’s eyes!
While the rest were being excited, An Yue started to cower. She had been feeling uneasy the moment she got to know that Han Yichen was the president of Sheng Shi Group. Now, he was also the president of Sheng Huang Group. Not only did she feel uneasy, but she was also… terrified.
She was ignorant. She did not know what kind of company Sheng Huang Group was. However, when she heard their discussions, she knew that it was certainly not a small company. Han Yichen was the president of such a big company. Was she… worthy of him?
Like a tortoise retracting their heads inside their shells, just when An Yue reflexively wanted to go back to hers, a hand suddenly reached out for her and held her hand softly and assuredly.
