57: Are you dating Chen Qiu?
Weiwei’s high school classmate is the newly appointed President Chen?
Yan Li’s pupils trembled; subconsciously, he couldn’t believe this.
But, his daughter truly only recently took on the villa decoration project for her classmate!
Gannan couldn’t possibly have two people who look so similar, could it?
Yan Li’s breathing quickened slightly.
“Yes, let’s ask Old Zhao first!”
He opened Supervisor Zhao’s WeChat and initiated a video call.
While waiting, Yan Li took several deep breaths, trying his best to stabilize his emotions.
This matter was simply too important!
If things were as he suspected, it would be a complete reversal of fortune!
The phone had only rung for a few seconds, but Yan Li was already anxious waiting.
“What is Old Zhao doing? Why isn’t he answering the phone...”
Ten more seconds passed, and the video connected.
Supervisor Zhao’s somewhat rough face appeared on the screen.
“President Yan, what’s up?”
Yan Li spoke impatiently.
“Old Zhao, where are you right now?”
“At the renovation site!”
“It’s Teacher Yan’s project that she just took a few days ago, the villa in Boyue Mansion!”
Saying this, Supervisor Zhao scanned the vicinity with his camera.
In the background behind him, workers could be seen tearing down walls.
The sound of the soft hammer pounding against the wall clearly reached Yan Li’s ears.
“Is that the one you posted on Moments this morning?”
“That’s right!”
Hearing this, Yan Li immediately asked impatiently.
“Is the young person in that photo the owner? Weiwei’s classmate?”
Supervisor Zhao was slightly stunned, sensing something amiss in Yan Li’s tone.
“Yes, he’s Teacher Yan’s classmate. What’s wrong?”
He noticed that after he finished speaking, Yan Li froze motionless right where he stood.
Supervisor Zhao pondered for a moment and realized what was going on.
President Yan must think his daughter is dating that young man!
That makes sense!
The two of them standing together were a perfect match, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as a family portrait!
No wonder President Yan, as the father, jumped to conclusions.
To be honest, even he felt there might be something going on between them!
Yan Baiwei was usually quite nice to him, and the young man seemed decent too—in his twenties and already able to afford a villa in Boyue Mansion... After thinking, Supervisor Zhao carefully chose his words.
“President Yan, I think Teacher Yan is at the right age now. Dating, or something like that...”
At this moment, Yan Li, who hadn't yet recovered from his excitement, asked in confusion.
“Dating what?”
Supervisor Zhao was stunned for a moment, then decisively shook his head.
“Nothing!”
“Right, do you know what Weiwei’s classmate’s name is?”
“His surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Qiu!”
Supervisor Zhao had seen the contract, so naturally, he remembered the owner’s name!
On the other side, Yan Li heard this and slapped his thigh!
It matches!
Chen Qiu!
It’s him, alright, the new mysterious President of the Cultural Industry Group!
“I never expected him to be my daughter’s high school classmate?”
He had been asking all his friends over the past few days if they could reveal any information about the new President, yet the person most familiar with him was right by his side?!
It truly was searching far and wide only to find it close at hand!
Getting it without any effort!
“Old Zhao, I’ll talk to you later...”
Just as Yan Li was about to hang up, he suddenly remembered something and spoke seriously, giving instructions.
“Right, you must carry out the work on this house according to the highest standards!”
“Make sure the workers pay close attention to every detail, and use the best materials!”
Supervisor Zhao opened his mouth.
This was the second time he had heard similar instructions!
The previous person who said it was Yan Baiwei, and now it was her father, Yan Li... How could this owner named Chen Qiu be taken so seriously by both the father and daughter?
Or... “Could this be Teacher Yan’s bridal home?!”
Thinking back, he did seem to recall hearing the word ‘bridal home’ mentioned in snippets of conversation between Chen Qiu and Yan Baiwei.
“Don’t worry, I will absolutely keep a close eye on it!”
Supervisor Zhao also became slightly excited. If it was Yan Baiwei’s bridal home, he absolutely couldn’t miss a single detail!
After Yan Li hung up the phone, Tao Xia walked out from inside.
“What’s wrong? All that shouting and thigh-slapping?”
She looked at her husband with some confusion, but judging from Yan Li’s expression, it shouldn’t be bad news.
“Haha, we’ve got a lead on the Cultural Industry Park project!”
Yan Li laughed a few times, then excitedly recounted his recent discovery to Tao Xia.
“Weiwei’s high school classmate is the new President Chen of the Cultural Industry Group?”
Tao Xia listened, her eyes wide. How did this sound like a tall tale?
“Wasn’t that night? Are you sure you didn’t see incorrectly?”
“Impossible. I saw it clearly. He doesn’t have a common face; how could I be mistaken!”
Yan Li immediately showed her Supervisor Zhao’s Moments post.
When Tao Xia saw the photo of Chen Qiu and Yan Baiwei standing together, her eyes lit up.
This President Chen is quite handsome!
Standing next to her daughter, they looked perfectly matched!
“Have you asked Weiwei?”
“What is her relationship with this President Chen?”
Tao Xia asked, and Yan Li shook his head.
“Even if their relationship is just average, I can’t let my daughter go beg him!”
“I couldn’t do something like that!”
“Having this layer of classmate relationship is already a pleasant surprise. It’s enough for me to humble myself and go talk to him.”
Yan Li said in a deep voice.
He had spoiled his daughter since she was young!
Yan Baiwei had never suffered any grievances.
He felt he had already failed his daughter enough by ending up in this situation; forcing her to swallow her pride and beg someone would make him too much of a failure!
Tao Xia slapped him directly on the arm and said dismissively.
“What do you mean ‘beg him’? Can’t you speak properly?”
“What do you know? For a highly sought-after major project like this, the Client is king. Countless construction teams are rushing to offer gifts. How can that compare to a bit of classmate friendship from years ago?”
Yan Li’s understanding was very clear.
Tao Xia, however, let out a soft snort.
“How do you know Weiwei’s relationship with him is just average?”
Saying this, she immediately took out her phone and called her daughter.
At this moment, Yan Baiwei, who was directing the furniture delivery at the Binjiang No. 1 Large Apartment, answered the call.
“Mom.”
“Weiwei, where are you?”
“Binjiang No. 1.”
“Your classmate’s house?”
“Yes, still dealing with the furniture. What’s wrong?”
Tao Xia’s eyes flickered slightly.
She knew that Yan Baiwei had taken on two of his properties in total: one Bare-Shell Villa and the soft furnishings for one Large Apartment.
“Weiwei, I just saw the photo Supervisor Zhao posted...”
“Are you and your high school classmate dating?”
