Chapter 749 2 Not Confused 9
Zhou Xun speaks in a very straightforward, almost masculine way, and with a serious yet funny manner.
M: […Okay, I'll contact you this weekend.]
ZX: [I'm not familiar with that area. My flight lands at 9:30 PM. Is it convenient to pick me up from the airport?]
Upon seeing this message, Meng Yubei felt that Zhou Xun was a bit shameless; he was the epitome of taking an inch and then a mile.
M: [I can have my brother pick you up.]
Although Zhou Xun was disappointed that she declined his offer, he still thanked her.
ZX: [Okay, thanks. I'll treat you guys to a meal when I come over; it's been two years since we last met.]
Zhou Xun had been interning outside for the past year and a half, and he never had time to go back to Meng Yubei's hometown.
When he finally had time to go back, Meng Yubei wasn't home again—it was just such a coincidence.
M: [Okay, I'm going to sleep now.]
When Zhou Xun checked the time, he realized it was already 1:30 a.m. He would have been asleep long ago, but he didn't feel sleepy at all while chatting.
ZX: [Good night, sweet dreams.]
Meng Yubei glanced at it but didn't reply. She simply put down her phone and went to sleep.

The next day, Meng Yubei and the other two didn't get up until noon to have brunch.
"Sister, Sister Xin, what are your plans for this afternoon?" Meng Yinan asked, still half-asleep, as she ate her meal.
Zhang Xin thought for a moment and said, "I need to go to the company. What about you, Ayu?"
“I’ll go too, I can take him to see him.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Yinan immediately perked up: "Great! I want to go!"
Seeing how excited he was, Meng Yubei remembered what happened last night: "Zhou Xun will arrive in Beijing at 9:30 tomorrow night. Go pick him up at the airport."
"Zhou Xun is coming? I didn't even know?"
"It seems my idea was correct," Zhang Xin said, putting down her chopsticks and resting her chin on her hand after finishing her meal.
Meng Yunan picked up her water glass and took a big gulp: "I never expected that Brother Zhou Xun, who looks like an honest guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually secretly have designs on my sister."
“You’re right. No wonder he was stuck between me and Ayu, determined to hold onto his second place,” Zhang Xin said, as if she had seen through the truth.
Meng Yinan, not one to shy away from stirring things up, said, "Back in school, Zhou Xun would stare at my sister's back every day. I have no idea how many unspeakable things he was thinking."
He thought that if the person he secretly loved were in front of him every day, he might have already thought of what to name their future children.
"Meng Yinan, are you sick? What nonsense are you spouting?" Meng Yubei gave him a warning look.
Meng Yinan joked, "Hehe, sis, I read in a novel that the male lead had a crush on the female lead for years, and then he became a pervert, and then he was locked up in a dark room..."
"Stop, stop talking. Why would a guy like you like reading this kind of novel?"
"I was just curious. I've seen you often reading novels at home, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to take a look and learn more about them, right?"
"Reading everything will only make you more and more abnormal, and besides, this type of novel is no longer popular."
"Ok."
Zhang Xin covered her mouth but couldn't help bursting into laughter: "Xiao Nan, what you said is so melodramatic! I knew Zhou Xun was a repressed pervert, and you were just overthinking things, hahaha."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yinan was initially overjoyed, but then said seriously, "Does such a thing really exist in reality?"
"You two are getting more and more outrageous. After you finish eating, go pack your things and get ready to go out."
Meng Yubei couldn't listen to it anymore. She stood up and turned around, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Haha~ If anyone really wants to lock someone up in a dark room, it should be her locking someone else up, not the other way around.
However, I've never encountered such a pervert before. In a society governed by the rule of law, what are these two thinking?

The three of them got ready and went out, first taking the elevator to the underground parking lot.
Meng Yinan circled his new car once, then excitedly ran up to Meng Yubei.
"Sis, why don't I drive? I've been driving Dad's car a lot since I got my driver's license, so my driving skills are no problem at all."
Meng Yubei simply tossed the keys to him: "From now on, you'll be driving yourself."
"So how will you travel after that?"
Zhang Xin gave her a look that said, "You don't need to worry. You're still concerned about your sister, that rich woman? She has more than just this one car."
“Okay then,” Meng Yinan said cheerfully.
After arriving at the company, Zhang Xin took Meng Yinan on a tour of the various locations.
Meng Yubei went to the president's office to find Yunshang. The two chatted about work for a while, and then talked about everyday topics.
"If you're not comfortable in your apartment, then move."
Yunshang shook her head: "It doesn't matter where I live, it's the same for me wherever I am."
Her apartment is near her company, so she doesn't spend much time commuting. As long as it's clean and tidy, it's fine; it's just a place to live anyway.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yubei had no objection: "Zhang Xin still needs you to continue to train her. In a couple of years, there will also be my brother. I plan to have them each take over a branch company."
"I understand, don't worry. But where would you like to open the branch office?"
Meng Yubei thought for a moment and said, "Well... in terms of city development, let's go with Shanghai, and then Shenzhen, which is closer to home."
“Okay, I’ll have someone make the arrangements over there. It’s just that we might need to use a lot of funds later,” Yunshang said.
"You can make the decision yourself. If the company doesn't have enough money in its account right now, you can ask Xiaoqi for more, and you can earn it back later."
"Ok."
As the two were talking, Zhang Xin returned with Meng Yinan after their tour.
Meng Yinan looked very happy, proud of his sister: "Sis, your company is quite large."
Zhang Xin smiled and said, "Let's all have dinner together tonight. Yunshang is such a busy person; the last time we had a get-together was half a year ago."
Yunshang glanced at her watch: "It's 4:30 now. We still have time to eat and come back. There's also an internal meeting at the company at 7 o'clock."
"Let's go then, let's get there as soon as possible." Meng Yubei stood up and walked out, and everyone followed.
"Sister Yunshang, does the company often require overtime?" Meng Yinan suddenly realized what Sister Xin meant when she heard that there was a meeting at seven o'clock.
Yunshang nodded: "A little, but it's just occasional overtime. Today is the end of the month, and the heads of each department need to report on their work summaries and discuss future work arrangements and adjustments."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yinan replied, seemingly understanding but not quite, "Oh, oh."
Meng Yubei patted Zhang Xin's arm: "You'll have to work hard for a while. Once you're fully capable of handling things on your own, you can go and manage the branch office."
Zhang Xin is also a shareholder, so she told her directly as soon as she had an idea.
"Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Meng." Zhang Xin said with a playful smile, then asked, "Where do you plan to open a branch office?"
Meng Yubei smiled and said, "Shanghai and Shenzhen will be a bit stressful for you at first, but take it slow."
"Okay, I won't let you down." Zhang Xin also knew that this was a good opportunity for her to achieve something.
