Qiao Sisi thought to herself but her face did not reveal the slightest detail.

The junior assistant nodded and pointed at the empty seat beside Lin Ya. “It’s good that you’re back. I’ve reserved a seat for you. It’s over there.”

Ye Chen, who was sitting on the side, smiled gently and elegantly. No one could tell his emotions from his eyes as he watched her take her seat.

When Qiao Sisi sat down in her seat, she was relieved because everyone finally looked away. She placed the bag at her feet and glanced at the table.

“Sisi, you’re finally back. Where did Young Master Zheng take you to have fun?” Lin Ya asked excitedly.

The corners of Qiao Sisi’s eyes twitched. “You’re thinking too much. Zheng Zeyi and I weren’t having fun at all. We were doing serious business.”

“Oh… So it’s business.” Lin Ya seemed to know something and nodded knowingly with a wicked smile.

Qiao Sisi, who had just picked up her chopsticks, was forced to put them down again. She glared at Lin Ya. “Kindly watch your tone. Those who don’t know might think that I’ve done something inappropriate. Speak properly.”

Lin Ya laughed until her stomach hurt. She wiped her tears. “I know, I know.”

The gathering was a treat for Ye Chen on behalf of Wind City Company. It was a reception for the guests from Jinyu Company.

The table was filled with Yunqi’s specialties. Qiao Sisi looked at the food. It was all meticulously prepared and seemed to be quite expensive.

The dishes closest to her were a plate of sweet and sour spareribs and a plate of fruit.

Qiao Sisi was already a little hungry. When she saw the food, the rumbling sounds in her stomach grew louder. She picked up her chopsticks and was about to take a piece of sweet and sour pork when the turntable suddenly spun.

The sweet and sour spareribs in front of her were spun to another spot.

Qiao Sisi frowned and glanced at the people at the table. She retracted her hand from the turntable. However, her sharp eyes saw what was going on.

Wei Ya! It was her again!

It was a bummer. Qiao Sisi frowned and spun the turntable. She picked up a piece of sweet and sour sparerib that was still steaming.

Delicious!

When the food entered her stomach, she finally felt alive. With a sweet smile on her face, she started helping herself to the other dishes.

Wei Ya was about to spin the turntable when Qiao Sisi pressed her hand on the turntable.

Although she was not strong, she did not believe that the pampered Wei Ya could be stronger than her.

Wei Ya placed her hand on the turntable and tried to turn it for a long time, but it did not budge. She did not want to attract anyone’s attention, so she retracted her hand with a gloomy expression.

“Tsk…”

Seeing this, the corners of Qiao Sisi’s lips curled up slightly as she began to focus on the food on the table.

Soon everyone had almost finished eating, and the waiter began to serve a variety of fruits on the table.

Ye Chen raised his wine glass and said as he stood up, “Welcome to Yunqi, colleagues from Jinyu Company. I hope you won’t blame Wind City for not being a good host.”

The junior assistant quickly raised her glass. “No, no. Thank you for your company’s hospitality.”

The junior assistant glanced around and signaled with her eyes. Qiao Sisi and the rest also raised their wine glasses. Everyone enjoyed the good wine.

While they were drinking, the junior assistant told everyone that she had to rush back to the office immediately to attend to something urgent.

She added that Xiang Jinyu had instructed them to return the next day.

“Change the schedule of your business trip. CEO Xiang said that there’s something going on at the company and that everyone has to be back tomorrow. It’s alright if you didn’t learn much. The company will arrange your itinerary again next time.”

The junior assistant frowned. It seems that something big has happened at the company.

Qiao Sisi thought as she pursed her lips and put down her wine glass.

The incident happened too suddenly. They were supposed to be on a business trip for five days, but they were here for about two days and had to leave.

His colleagues chatted, but they did not dare to have any objections to this change of plan.

They were just employees and had to go along with the company’s arrangements. Besides, if something happened to the company, how could they stay in Yunqi?

That was impossible.

“But you can still do some sightseeing in Yunqi tomorrow morning. We’ll head back to the office tomorrow afternoon,” the junior assistant suddenly remembered something and said.

“Got it,” everyone said.

Qiao Sisi finally understood why Ye Chen was treating everyone to dinner tonight. It turned out to be their last evening in Yunqi.

They could only visit Yunqi again when they had the chance.

Qiao Sisi’s gaze landed outside the window. The leaves in the trees were rustling in the breeze. She recalled the kind Grandma Chen from this morning.

She could not help but sigh. Yunqi was indeed a place with outstanding people.

Five minutes later, everyone was still drinking and chatting with each other.

“Sisi, Lin Ya.” Suddenly they heard a gentle voice.

Both Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya looked up and saw Ye Chen smiling at them with a glass of red wine in his hand.

Ye Chen was really good-looking. Unfortunately, there was a disparity in their status. Otherwise, Lin Ya would definitely have asked for his contact number.

Qiao Sisi was different. She had a fiancé now, although that was in name only.

Moreover, with a reputation to protect, it was better for her to focus on her career.

“What is it, CEO Ye?” Lin Ya could not call him by his name in public. It was better to call him CEO Ye.

Qiao Sisi looked at Ye Chen too.

“You guys are leaving Yunqi tomorrow. It might be a long time before we meet again. Let me toast you guys.” Ye Chen raised the red wine glass in his hand. His intention was obvious.

Both Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya raised their glasses when they heard that. They clinked glasses with Ye Chen and downed their wine.

The three of them did not say very much. Seeing that, Ye Chen did not bother them anymore and returned to his seat with the wine glass.

Unexpectedly Ye Chen’s toast triggered Lin Ya’s urge to drink more.

She began to pour wine for Qiao Sisi, one glass after another. After a while, there was a pile of empty bottles in front of her.

“Drink, Sisi, one more glass.” Lin Ya gulped down another glass of red wine.

“Okay, okay. Don’t drink so much.” Qiao Sisi’s face was slightly flushed. She also finished the wine in her glass.

The two of them challenged each other with the goal of getting the other drunk.

It was already late at night when they were preparing to return to the hotel.

Even Qiao Sisi was a little tipsy. Lin Ya kept forcing her to drink even though she was already drunk beyond recognition. However, Sisi herself was still quite conscious.

The junior assistant sent a car to send them back to the hotel. On the way, Qiao Sisi supported Lin Ya while carrying a bag in her other hand.

“Sisi… burp, I think I can still drink two more bottles of wine!” Lin Ya held up three fingers for Qiao Sisi.

Qiao Sisi said helplessly, “Alright, alright. You’re the wine god. Sister, don’t move. Can we go back to our room first?”
