To prevent Di Mingjue from overthinking, Ye Ziyu informed him of her itinerary by phone before heading to the site for inspection.
Unexpectedly, Di Mingjue, feeling uneasy, rushed from Di Jue Group to the downstairs of Ye Shi Group right after hanging up the phone.
He leaned against his car, wearing sunglasses, and upon seeing Gu Xiuyu walking out with Ye Ziyu, he deliberately shouted loudly at Ye Ziyu, "Wife!"
With passersby all around, his loud shout drew curious glances from those nearby.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Ziyu felt like an animal in a zoo being observed. She slowed her pace, unwilling to be stared at like a monkey.
Di Mingjue, intent on overshadowing Gu Xiuyu, failed to notice Ye Ziyu slowing down and not approaching him.
"Mr. Di is quite passionate," Gu Xiuyu teased.
His shout of "Wife" was clearly aimed at him.
Ye Ziyu masked her embarrassment with a smile.
After waiting for a while, Di Mingjue noticed Ye Ziyu's slow progress. He took off his sunglasses and strode over to her. "I happened to be free, I'll accompany you."
His presence there already spoke volumes about his intentions.
Ye Ziyu turned to Gu Xiuyu with an apologetic look, asking for his opinion, "Mr. Gu, do you mind?"
"As a family member, I won't cause trouble, so Mr. Gu naturally wouldn't mind," Di Mingjue replied on his own accord.
In reality, his actions were not ideal. Cooperation between companies frowned upon the involvement of outsiders. After all, if any issues arose during the project, it would be difficult to make decisions.
Ye Ziyu reached out to stop Di Mingjue, sincerely seeking Gu Xiuyu's opinion, "Mr. Gu, if you have any thoughts, please feel free to voice them."
"Since President Di is willing to join, I have no objections," Gu Xiuyu said.
He understood that Di Mingjue wanted to assert his claim, but they were going to inspect the site. He needed to communicate with Ye Ziyu, and his accompanying them wouldn't matter. Could he possibly usurp his role in this inspection?
Ye Ziyu rode in the same car as Di Mingjue, while Gu Xiuyu drove his own car. The two cars departed from the front of Ye Shi Group simultaneously. From a distance, someone captured footage of them leaving.
...
School.
A pleasant bell rang, signaling the end of the last class of the morning. The homeroom teachers arrived in the classrooms amidst the ringing.
"We are now entering lunchtime. Everyone, please pack up your belongings quickly and line up at the entrance."
Xiaoran and Yuze had already tidied up. They came to Qianqian's side and waited quietly. Classmates from the classroom trickled out.
"Brother Yuze, it looks like there are annoying carrots today."
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Qianqian's sharp eyes spotted the food she disliked on other students' trays.
Xiaoran, standing behind Qianqian, shifted his body closer to her. He whispered into her ear, "I'll eat them for you in a moment."
Hearing this, and thinking she wouldn't have to eat the disliked food, Qianqian's face immediately broke into a smile.
Yuze turned to Xiaoran and Qianqian and said, "You can't be picky eaters!"
To ensure they wouldn't be picky during meals, Ye Ziyu had specifically arranged for Yuze to supervise them. Hearing Xiaoran's words just now, he naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
"Brother Yuze, carrots are really gross!" Qianqian complained with a pout.
Every time she ate carrots, she felt like she was swallowing a hard object with a fragrant gas. If forced to eat them, her body would feel so unwell that she'd want to vomit.
When it was their turn in the queue, Yuze took the plates from the cafeteria staff. He looked at the carrots in front of him and said to the serving staff, "Please give her a little less carrot."
The serving staff recognized them and smiled, "Little sister doesn't like them?"
"Yes," Yuze nodded politely.
After the food landed on the plates, he held them and stood aside, waiting for Qianqian and Xiaoran.
