Chapter 147 Adding Obstacles
One second Ye Xinghe was chatting with Hua Qingmeng and the others, the next second she reached out and grabbed Su Nanqing.
Ye Xinghe's sudden movement startled her.
Su Nanqing stood there stunned. "I...I just went to the restroom."
"Why did you take your phone to the restroom?!" Ye Xinghe's expression was serious, a hint of suspicion in her eyes. "You wouldn't happen to be..."
Su Nanqing tried to remain calm, but when she met Ye Xinghe's sharp gaze, she couldn't utter a single word, as if her inner thoughts had been seen through.
Ye Xinghe said slowly, "You wouldn't be... going to pay the bill, would you?!"
As she spoke, she snatched Su Nanqing's phone, "You're not allowed to go! I promised to treat you today. What's the meaning of you secretly paying the bill?"
Su Nanqing breathed a sigh of relief and teased with a smile, "You're such a clever little devil! I was trying to sneak out, but you still found out!"
She slowly walked back to her seat. "Alright, we won't argue with you. This meal is on you."
Ye Xinghe put Su Nanqing's phone into her bag. "I'll leave the phone with you for now. Don't try to come up with any other excuses. I'll return it to you after we finish eating."
Su Nanqing's eyes softened as she smiled and said, "Look at you, you're still like a little kid. Would your older sister lie to you?"
Ye Xinghe picked up a piece of food without even lifting her eyelids. "Hmph! You woman, you're the best at lying. I don't believe you."
Her tone was somewhat serious, making it impossible to tell whether it came from the heart or was a joke.
However, Su Nanqing didn't take it too seriously. Ye Xinghe's behavior had been unusual all day, and she assumed it was all due to the "chocolate."
Su Nanqing pursed her lips and smoothed the hair behind her ear.
Actually, she didn't go out to pay the bill, but to call the police! She wanted to inform the police that someone in the restaurant was using marijuana!
As long as Ye Xinghe is taken away, she won't be able to participate in tomorrow's assessment, and Ye Xinghe can leave Hua's completely!
Now that her phone wasn't with her, Su Nanqing had to think of another solution.
Ye Xinghe knew, of course, that Su Nanqing wouldn't be so kind as to pay the bill; she must have had another purpose in going out! But she hadn't caught Su Nanqing red-handed yet, so it wasn't the time to confront her directly.
However, Ye Xinghe couldn't let her have it too easy during the rest of the meal.
Being able to marry the eldest son of such a large corporation means she must bear the heavy responsibility of carrying on the family line, and her family must have put a lot of pressure on her. Since Su Nanqing still doesn't have any children, Ye Xinghe decided to talk to Su Nanqing about having children.
"Nanqing, how long have you been married to Yanxi? Were you classmates?"
Su Nanqing smiled gently, her face beaming with happiness. "We've been married for three years. We weren't classmates; Yan Xi is older than me."
Ye Xinghe's eyes lit up strangely, "Then Sister Nanqing, hurry up and have a baby! Your child will definitely be very beautiful. Fair-skinned, tender, and soft. You can call me your aunt then."
"Sister Nanqing, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
Su Nanqing looked slightly embarrassed. She couldn't even have a child, so what was the point of talking about boys or girls?
She forced a smile and said, "We're not in a rush to have children yet; we need to focus on our careers first."
"That won't stop us. A company as big as Hua's can attract any talent as long as they offer high salaries!" Ye Xinghe smiled, looking at Su Nanqing and Hua Yanxi across from her. "Yanxi-ge, do you like boys or girls?"
Hua Yanxi looked up at her, "Either is fine. It would be best if it were a man and a woman."
Ye Xinghe still had a smile on her lips, looking innocent, "Sister Nanqing, I recommend someone to you. If you're planning to have a baby, you need to start taking care of yourself now. That way, your child will be healthy and beautiful."
Su Nanqing smiled and said, "You're just a young girl who graduated, yet you talk about having children so knowledgeably. You seem to know quite a lot!"
Ye Xinghe turned her phone screen towards her, "This person shares things on WeChat Moments every day. I see it every time I open it."
“That’s how it is!” Lin Hao also took out his phone and opened his WeChat Moments. “This person on my WeChat Moments goes out to sea to fish every day. He shares pictures of fishing hooks, bait, fishing lines, and so on.”
"Now I have a basic grasp of fishing theory, and I know exactly what fishing gear to use for what kind of fish! All I'm missing is the ocean!"
“Then let’s go sea fishing in Siam during the holidays!” Ye Xinghe quickly chimed in. “I’ve never been to Siam before. If I have the chance to go, I’ll definitely buy a lot of things.”
Su Nanqing's expression became flustered for a moment, "What's so great about buying things in Siam! We can basically buy everything they have in China."
Ye Xinghe took out another chocolate from her bag. "This is the chocolate you gave me that I wanted to buy the most! I don't remember the name, but I saw the place of origin: it's made in Siam!"
Then, she asked Hua Yanxi, "Chairwoman Hua, does the Hua family have a state-owned company in Siam? Is it possible for me to be transferred there in the future?"
Before Hua Yanxi could speak, Ye Xinghe added, "But I heard that marijuana became legal over there this year. I wonder if it's dangerous."
Hua Yanxi replied with a smile, "There's no company set up over there yet. But it's not impossible in the future."
Hua Qingmeng looked at her with eyes full of doting, "Just for a piece of chocolate, it's not worth going to work over there, is it?"
"If you really want to go, try your best to stay with Huashi. We'll hold our annual meeting there this year."
Su Nanqing's expression was very complicated, and she fell silent.
Ye Xinghe's words just now strengthened her resolve! She absolutely could not let Ye Xinghe stay at Hua's! She had to make her leave as soon as possible!
Tomorrow's assessment is an opportunity!
Su Nanqing needed to get home as soon as possible to come up with a foolproof solution. She excused herself by saying she wasn't feeling well and ended the gathering early.
Qiao Lin parked the car in front of the restaurant and picked up Ye Xinghe to go home.
On the way, she reported the afternoon's investigation findings to Ye Xinghe.
“Miss, I called the chocolate manufacturer this afternoon. The brand said they don’t have a factory in Siam. I also called the number on Su Nanqing’s box, several times, but no one answered.”
"Later, I asked a friend I knew in Siam to check the address. There was nothing there. It used to be a two-story building, but it has been demolished now."
Ye Xinghe stared blankly ahead, muttering, "It seems this box of chocolates was made by Su Nanqing."
Why did Su Nanqing choose this brand? Besides chocolate, does she produce any other food products?
