Ye Xiaofei had done something wrong. If Jiang Yuqing had come to him directly, he could have given her enough compensation and apologized.

However, Jiang Yuqing was targeting Fang Yunshu; that was something he couldn’t tolerate. He threw his own mistake out of the window.

Jiang Yuqing was also a proud woman. She could not accept what had happened that day. Ye Xiaofei’s attitude was like adding fuel to the fire, which doubled her hatred for Ye Xiaofei.

When their gazes met, sparks flew everywhere as if they could fight at any moment.

Fang Yunshu’s footsteps could be heard.

The tense atmosphere between Jiang Yuqing and Ye Xiaofei instantly disappeared.

Jiang Yuqing chuckled. “Your secretary is quite interesting. Yunshu, if you don’t need him anymore, you can let me have him.”

Fang Yunshu immediately said, “Okay, you want him now? 1’11 let you have him this instance. I’m annoyed every day I see him.”

Jiang Yuqing giggled. “Hehe, not now. It’s like I’m stealing your man.”

Ye Xiaofei really admired Jiang Yuqing’s control of her emotions. She was able to instantly switch from anger to laughter. She was definitely a very powerful woman.

Jiang Yuqing’s eyes were filled with genuine joy as she said, “Jokes aside, Yunshu, things have changed so quickly. A few years ago, you were still miserable, but in the blink of an eye, you’ve become an important executive of the Nox Company. Even the mayor gives you calls directly.”

“That’s because our mayor doesn’t know that you’re here, Miss Jiang,” Fang Yunshu said in embarrassment. “If he did, he would be the one treating you to a meal.”

Jiang Yuqing shook her head and said, “Forget it. I’m just here to do business. 1 don’t want any special treatment.”

Ye Xiaofei had some understanding of these families and forces on Villain Island.

There were some unwritten rules in the country regarding families. It could even be said to be a very special hierarchy.

For the families in Ning City, no matter how well they developed, they could only develop in Ning City.

As for provincial families, they could develop in all aspects within the province.

In other words, the provincial families could develop in Ning City, but the families in Ning City couldn’t develop in the provincial capital or other cities.

If there were any leapfrogging situations, then the family would be simultaneously attacked by the big families of the provincial assembly, and they would no longer have a foothold.

In fact, these were the upper-class families who had the right to speak. In order to obtain greater benefits for themselves, they would stop the less powerful families from snatching resources.

This system also resulted in people from the large provincial families having a superior status when they came to the city. They were also the target of every city-level family.

Jiang Yuqing was a member of the Jiang family, one of the big provincial families. If the news reached Ning City, all the big families in Ning City would definitely pay a visit. Even the mayor would come forward.

After all, if they could build a good relationship, the Jiang family would really invest in a huge project or have a close collaboration with a big family in the city. That would bring great benefits to Ning City.

Although the Nox Company was massive, it was, after all, foreign capital. All they could invest was some funds. However, the large provincial families were not only investing money, but also all kinds of resources. The significance was much greater than just money.

If Luna, the chairman of the Nox Company, was here, her status would naturally be very high. However, Fang Yunshu was only the president of a branch company, so, in terms of status, it was a great step down. Therefore, she could not compare to Jiang Yuqing’s status at all.

Soon, the food was served.

Both Jiang Yuqing and Fang Yunshu ordered a simple steak as the main dish and some salad as sides.

However, when Ye Xiaofei’s items arrived, the table was quickly filled.

Like foie gras, escargot, steak, and some specialties.

“Are you here to satisfy your greed?” Fang Yunshu asked with a dark expression.

Ye Xiaofei said, “Since we already came out for a meal, we should fill our bellies. There’s only so much of this on each plate – I have to order more.”

Fang Yunshu kicked Ye Xiaofei hard and snapped, “You’re really something. You don’t even care about the occasion.”

“Aren’t you and Miss Jiang good friends? We’re not outsiders, so 1 don’t have to hold back, right?” The last sentence was directed at Jiang Yuqing.

Jiang Yuqing squinted her eyes, then chuckled and said, “If I had an secretary like you, 1 would throw him down from here.”

Fang Yunshu nodded in agreement and said, “You’re right. We should really throw him down.”

Ye Xiaofei met Jiang Yu’s gaze and said indifferently, “Thank goodness I’m not your secretary.”

Jiang Yuqing narrowed her eyes and said with a faint smile, “That’s not necessarily true. Who knows, you might become my secretary one day..”
