In the private room.
At the round dining table, Xia Ye sat on one side, while Dong Mao and Shen Jing, impeccably dressed, sat on the other.
Xia Ye was poking around on her cell phone, both men watching nervously.
After a long while, once she put away her phone, they finally whispered timidly, "Miss Xia..."
Xia Ye lifted her eyelids to look at them.
Dong Mao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Who were you... texting just now..."
Xia Ye replied with an "Oh," "Your CEO Jiang, he was asking if I had eaten."
At these words, the tea Shen Jing was bringing to his mouth suddenly stopped.
Then they heard Xia Ye continue in a calm voice, "I told him I was already eating."
At this moment, the emotions of Shen Jing and Dong Mao were like a roller coaster ride.
They both simultaneously patted their chests in sync.
All is well, all is well...
From beginning to end, Xia Ye treated this dinner as a scholarly exchange on investment.
Very honest and straightforward.
