Walking into Ailie's restaurant, Shang Yucheng saw a young man in a plaid suit in front of the bar, with his back to the door, chatting with a waitress, which made the waitress purse his lips and laugh.

The most important thing in Shanghai is this kind of frivolous young master, Shang Yucheng only glanced at it, and then looked away.

Lu Jingcheng next to him suddenly opened his mouth and called: "Ye Shen!" ”

The plaid suit looked back and smiled slightly.

Shang Yucheng looked at him in amazement, it was really the eldest prince Ye Shenye who had seen him in Lidu that night.

Ye Shen obviously recognized her at a glance, looked at her, and showed a meaningful smile.

Shang Yucheng's heart "chuckled", and a trace of nervousness suddenly swelled up.

"Jing Cheng," Ye Shen leaned against the bar, looked at the two of them calmly, and stretched out his hand lazily, "Long time no see." Who is this? ”

Lu Jingcheng glanced at Shang Yucheng with a smile, "This is my fiancée, Yucheng." ”

Since Lu Jingcheng proposed marriage in the United States, according to American customs, it is not impossible to call his fiancée.

"Oh?" Ye Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at Shang Yucheng, "When did you get engaged, even I don't know." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Ye." I'm Shang Yucheng. ”

Ye Shen held Shang Yucheng's fingertips in a gentlemanly manner, "Miss Shang," he looked at Shang Yucheng, probably seeing Shang Yucheng's nervousness, and suddenly smiled, "Have we met somewhere?" ”

Shang Yucheng looked at his eyes, and a narrow look flashed from Ye Shen's eyes.

Shang Yucheng withdrew the fingers held in Ye Shen's palm, and said lightly: "Yucheng has not been back to China for a long time, and I am afraid that I have not yet had the honor to meet Mr. Ye. ”

Ye Shen looked at her noncommittally and said with a smile: "Really? That's probably if I'm remembering the wrong person. Miss Shang, don't be surprised. ”

Lu Jingcheng smiled and said, "Sit down and talk, you won't use this trick to talk to every woman, right?" ”

Ye Shen smiled and did not speak. A waiter walked over, led them to a seat, waited for the three of them to order, turned and walked away.

Shang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief, although this Ye Shen was not a decent gentleman, but in the end, he still did not expose to her face that she went to Lido that night, which could be regarded as saving her two points of face.

Maybe he felt that he had done something unsavory with the man next to him, so he kept silent. Shang Yucheng guessed. It is better to let him misunderstand like this than to let him know that the person he met with is a private detective, which arouses his suspicions.

"Jing Cheng is now in his arms, what are you doing with me, a lonely person, for dinner?" Ye Shen said with a smile.

"Brother Ye's words are too modest, if you can be regarded as a lonely person like this, then other men are not as good as monks." Lu Jingcheng unceremoniously debunked Ye Shen's words.

Ye Shen smiled, lit a cigarette, and waited for Lu Jingcheng to say the right thing.

Shang Yucheng looked at Ye Shen's skillful cigarette lighting and frowned almost invisibly. She didn't like the smell of tobacco, and this kind of man who lit a cigarette at any time always made her feel sleek and sophisticated, and not very reliable.

Ye Shen was about aware of her reaction, glanced at her lightly, and casually pressed the cigarette he had just lit into the ashtray on the side.

Sure enough, he is a veteran of the love field, and his subtle reaction is also seen by him. Shang Yucheng secretly cheered up, not daring to show any more emotions at will.

"Brother Ye came out today, because I have a small business I want to talk about." Lu Jingcheng said, and the waiter happened to come over with coffee. As he spoke, he picked up the small silver spoon and elegantly stirred the coffee in his cup.

"I have a friend who is in the furniture business in Hong Kong. I invited an Italian designer, and the things were exquisite and practical, and many friends asked someone to buy them from Hong Kong. I would like to work with this friend to open a branch in Shanghai. ”

Lu Jingcheng looked at Ye Shen's expression, and saw that he had no expression, so he had to continue: "Brother Ye's shipping company has cargo ships between Hong Kong and Shanghai, and it has always been safe and punctual, I want to hand over the matter of cargo transportation to Brother Ye, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

Ye Shen smiled and said, "Why don't I want to take care of my own business?" Although there is not much cooperation between Huijin Company and my Ye family now, there are some, according to our freight contract, plus a few kinds of goods. ”

According to Shu Qiang's investigation results, the passenger and cargo ships of the Ye family's shipping company have opened routes in inland waterways, coastal and oceans, and there should be many opportunities for cooperation for companies like Huijin, but Ye Shen said that there is not much cooperation, which shows that the rumors that the relationship between the Ye family and the Lu family has cooled a few years ago are credible.

Shang Yucheng thought as he silently drank coffee.

Lu Jingcheng smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Ye, this business does not belong to Huijin Company, it can be regarded as a little private business of the younger brother." Therefore, I am afraid that it is not convenient to complete it according to Huijin's contract. ”

Ye Shen looked at Lu Jingcheng in surprise, and suddenly smiled again: "If you really have a fiancée, why are you in a hurry to make private money?" ”

Shang Yucheng was slightly embarrassed by these words, she smiled reluctantly, still sipping her coffee.

Ye Shen didn't make fun of Lu Jingcheng anymore, and said, "Since this is the case, then I will bother you to come to the company to sign a new contract another day." The shipping fee is settled according to the discount of Huijin, what do you think? ”

Lu Jingcheng said with a smile: "Then thank Brother Ye first." I'm going to treat you to a drink another day to celebrate our partnership. ”

Just as he was polite, the waiter came over and asked Ye Shen to answer the phone at the bar. After just two sentences, Ye Shen came over again, "We must drink the wine another day, but I still have some mundane affairs today, so I will leave first." Please don't be surprised. ”

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Shang Yucheng with a smile, "In two days, I will invite the two of you to dance in Lido, and please be sure to enjoy the light." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Lu Jingcheng got up and shook hands with Ye Shen.

Shang Yucheng heard him mention Lido, and knew that he meant it, but it was inconvenient to say anything, so he had to be angry in his heart.

Lu Jingcheng negotiated the matter, and got the same discount as Huijin Company, he was in a very happy mood, and talked about his business plans with Shang Yucheng with great interest, and did not notice Shang Yucheng's slightly perfunctory look.

After eating, Shang Yucheng went back to the hotel, thought about it, picked up the phone and dialed the number at Shu Qiang's home.

The phone rang twice and was answered, and Shu Qiang's calm voice rang from the other end of the phone, "Hello." ”

"Mr. Shu, it's me."

Shu Qiang immediately heard her voice, "Miss Shang? ”

"It's me. I want to meet you. ”

"Good. Meet at Lido half an hour later. ”

"No, let's change places." Shang Yu Cheng Road.

Shu Qiang felt a little strange that Shang Yucheng had never taken the initiative to ask for a change of place to meet. But instead of asking why, he quickly came up with a new place, "What about the Metropolitan Ballroom?" ”

"Good. Meet in half an hour. ”

Shang Yucheng changed into a cheongsam and quickly went out.

When he arrived at the gate of the metropolis, Shang Yucheng raised his arm and glanced at his watch, saying that he would meet in half an hour, but he was a few minutes late. Shu Qiang is a very punctual person, and he has probably arrived.

She glanced around, then walked straight inside.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the ballroom was very lively. Shang Yucheng had some slight myopia when he was studying, and he had never patronized the Metropolitan Ballroom, so he felt a little difficult to find someone at this time. She stood at the back of the ballroom for a moment, until her eyes adjusted to the flickering lights, and then slowly walked towards the bar.

Shu Qiang really sat at the bar, looking a little bored, looking sideways at the dance floor, not knowing who he was looking at.

Shang Yucheng walked over, "Mr. Shu." ”

Shu Qiang turned around on the swivel chair and saw her hurriedly jumping down from the chair again, "Miss Shang." ”

Shang Yucheng motioned for him to sit down, sat down beside him himself, and ordered a glass of red wine.

Shu Qiang hurriedly paid for the wine, then sat down and asked in a low voice, "Miss Shang asked me to meet, is there anything to explain?" ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head, "It's a side matter to discuss with you." Do you remember the man we saw in Lido last time, Ye Shen? ”

Shu Qiang nodded, "It's really a coincidence, he happens to be one of the subjects of my investigation, he and Lu Jingpeng were college classmates five years ago, and the relationship was once very good." These are all in my information, Miss Shang has read them all, right? ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "Today, Lu Jingcheng talked to him about some business matters, so I met with him." She turned her head to look at Shu Qiang, "He still recognizes me." ”

Shu Qiang frowned slightly, "But in such a hurry, he still remembers?" ”

Shang Yucheng bowed, "Does he recognize you?" ”

Shu Qiang shook his head.

Shang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." I thought of a reasonable excuse to show up in the Lido, and found an opportunity to explain it to him privately. In short—" Shang Yucheng said, "I must not let others find out that you are doing things for me." ”

Shu Qiang nodded solemnly, "I understand." ”

Shang Yucheng took out an envelope from his bag and put it in front of Shu Qiang, "This money is compensation for your trip to Jiaxing." ”

Shu Qiang hurriedly pushed back, "Miss Shang's expenses have already been paid a lot, and now there is no way to see what happened, so there is no need to pay another fee." ”

Shang Yucheng couldn't help but say and pushed it in front of Shu Qiang, "Take it." Since you are willing to bother more, naturally you can't be made to suffer. ”

With that, she stood up and turned to leave.

There was a somewhat familiar figure standing next to the bar, talking and laughing with the blonde waiter in the bar, Shang Yucheng hesitated, and the person just turned his face.

Ye Shen!

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Shen's eyes, and he soon brought a somewhat interesting smile, "Miss Shang." It's really a place in life where we don't meet! ”

Shang Yucheng was shocked in his heart, and smiled quietly, "Mr. Ye." ”

Thinking of Shu Qiang behind her, she hurriedly stepped forward, blocked in front of Ye Shen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye is really interested in coming here for recreation after finishing his mundane affairs." ”

Ye Shen was not ashamed of being exposed by Shang Yucheng's lies, he seemed to have seen through Shang Yucheng's thoughts, and he did not shy away from probing his head to look behind Shang Yucheng, and said with a mocking smile: "Miss Shang has come here to change the taste of the young master of the Lu family after making an appointment, and she must be in good spirits." ”

Shang Yucheng was enraged by his direct peeping actions and vulgar words, and she smiled coldly, "Naturally, it is not as changeable as the taste of Grand Master Ye. Hello raw cooking and mundane affairs, Yucheng farewell. ”

After Shang Yucheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked away directly, raised his eyes and saw Shu Qiang's figure flashing in front of him and then disappearing into the crowd, his hanging heart was a little fixed, Ye Shen should not have seen Shu Qiang clearly.
