Chapter 750 2 Not Confused 10
Although the company's shareholders are all their own people, no one else interferes.
Meng Yubei held most of the power; she made all the decisions. But Zhang Xin felt she also had to produce results.
*
In the evening, Zhang Xin and Meng Yubei each took a computer and sat on the sofa, typing away at their keyboards.
One of them was working, and the other was writing a thesis.
Meng Yunan was eating a bucket of fried chicken while watching TV and keeping track of the time.
When it was 8:40, he stood up and said, "Sister, Sister Xin, I'm going to pick someone up."
Meng Yubei didn't even look up, only humming in response.
Zhang Xin stopped what she was doing and rubbed her temples: "After picking him up, where will Zhou Xun stay?" she asked, glancing at Meng Yubei as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yinan glanced at his sister and said, "Of course we'll stay in a hotel."
In the past, he might have invited Zhou Xun to stay at his house, since the two families were neighbors and had a good relationship.
But now that he knows how he feels about his sister, he feels he still needs to be careful.
Meng Yubei didn't need to look up to know the exchange of glances between the two, and nodded indifferently: "Just take them to the hotel."
The two were satisfied. Zhang Xin smiled, and Meng Yinan went to change his shoes and go out: "Then I'm leaving. Wait for me to come back before you go to sleep."
Zhang Xin nodded: "Who goes to bed so early when you come back?"
Even though she has to go to the company every day, she definitely can't fall asleep before midnight.
Meng Yubai didn't care at all; even if she stayed up all night, she could catch up on sleep in her spatial dimension.
An hour after Meng Yinan left, Meng Yubei's phone, which was on the sofa, rang twice.
As soon as she picked up her phone, Zhang Xin looked over immediately, her eyes filled with a gossipy smile.
"What are you looking at?"
"It must have been Zhou Xun who sent you the message saying he has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yubei didn't answer. Instead, she opened her phone, and there was indeed a message from Zhou Xun, his tone as if he were reporting work.
ZX: [I've arrived.]
ZX: [Already on board.]
Meng Yubei replied with an "okay," then put down his phone, ignoring Zhang Xin's gaze.
She didn't speak, so Zhang Xin had to ask, "Am I right?"
Given how frequently and arrogantly she and Meng Yinan have been talking and gossiping together lately.
A mischievous glint flashed in Meng Yubei's eyes: "Aren't you too idle? How about I ask Yunshang to arrange more work for you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin immediately softened her stance: "No, I was wrong. Please forgive me since I'm still working overtime at home."
Meng Yubei chuckled and pinched her cheek: "Be good, get back to work, stop gossiping."
"Okay, Mr. Meng." Zhang Xin smiled and cooperated, sitting up straight and starting to type seriously.

On the other side, Zhou Xun saw Meng Yubei's reply and only turned off his phone after a long while.
In the driver's seat, Meng Yinan had been secretly watching his every move.
He asked casually, "Brother Zhou Xun, are you texting my sister?"
Zhou Xun turned to look at him: "Hmm...Is she very busy lately?"
Meng Yunan originally wanted to say that she was very busy, but she changed her mind before she could finish: "My sister isn't busy, she's watching TV at home."
So, do you know my sister doesn't value you much? She doesn't even come to pick you up herself.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun remained silent for a moment before saying as if he hadn't understood, "She must be very tired after a busy day. Let her rest early tonight."
He had just met Meng Yinan today and felt that Meng was always looking him up and down, with a kind of innocent scrutiny.
After thinking for a moment, he knew what Meng Yinan was thinking, so he didn't take his words to heart.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yubei wanted to say that his sister hadn't been busy all day; she hadn't even remembered she had a paper to finish until evening.
But to save face for his sister, he didn't say anything.
"Yes, I'll tell my sister to get some rest when I get back."
Zhou Xun nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "Could you please pick me up today? If you're free tomorrow evening or noon, how about we have lunch together?"
"Let's do it in the evening, because everyone's probably too busy during the day."
Actually, he and his sister are free, but Sister Xin has to work overtime this week. It seems she has to follow up on a project, so she doesn't have time during the day.
He couldn't face Zhou Xun alone; he needed to bring Sister Xin along as a helper.
Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Then tomorrow night. Just send me where you want to eat."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with my sister and the others tonight and send it to you."
Meng Yinan thought that her sister was now a true "rich, beautiful, and successful woman," so he decided to test Zhou Xun's generosity on her behalf and choose a more expensive place.
If Zhou Xun were still in school, he would definitely be careful about his behavior, but now he has already started his internship.
Thinking of this, Meng Yunan asked again, "Brother Zhou Xun, are you planning to work in Shanghai in the future?"
"I plan to return to Shenzhen to start my own business."
“Starting a business? That’s great. My sister started her own company when she was a sophomore in college.” Meng Yinan’s tone was clearly filled with pride and admiration when he talked about his sister.
Zhou Xun understood, and he nodded in agreement with a smile: "Yes, she's very capable, both in her studies and at work."
“Right? My sister is really outstanding. I heard from Sister Xin that she has a lot of suitors.” Meng Yinan’s eyes darted around as he deliberately said.
"Really? Does she have a boyfriend now?"
"This..." Meng Yinan suddenly wanted to slap his mouth again, realizing he had just made a mistake.
If he says no now, wouldn't that give people more hope?
Finally, he said vaguely, "Well, I don't think so, but I'm not sure. My sister wouldn't tell me these things."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun showed no unusual expression: "Yes, I understand."
What does he know? Does he know if her sister has a boyfriend or not? Meng Yinan wanted to know but didn't dare to ask.
For the rest of the drive, the two remained relatively quiet. Meng Yinan was worried that saying too much might lead to making mistakes and causing trouble.
Zhou Xun was thinking that he should find an opportunity to ask Meng Yubei about her current situation.

"I'm back." Meng Yinan walked in, looking rather tired.
Zhang Xin looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Nan? Did he go out to pick someone up and his soul disappeared?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yubei raised his head and saw that Meng Yunan had perked up again.
He recounted everything that had just happened.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yubei lowered his head again, while Zhang Xin listened with great interest.
"Sure, what you said makes sense. I bet Zhou Xun is still thinking about it too."
"Really? Sister Xin, did I say something wrong?" Meng Yinan asked.
"No, you didn't give him a definite answer."
After Zhang Xin finished speaking, she thought of another idea: "How about this, tomorrow night at dinner, I'll keep talking to him so he won't have a chance to talk to your sister alone."
"That's a great idea. I'll definitely cooperate tomorrow. It would be best if we could get Brother Zhou Xun drunk some more," Meng Yinan said enthusiastically.
