With his line of sight blocked, Qin Yi smirked and very quickly warmed up to Ye Zhifan.
Meanwhile, the smile on Sun Dongqing’s face seemed forced.
Especially after noticing how he sat down and kept tossing gazes at her daughter, the more she had a feeling that this person wasn’t reliable at all! How can anyone keep glancing at a young lady’s body after entering the room? He calls himself a diplomat as well, isn’t that too disrespectful? Too frivolous!
“Director Ye is being too courteous, I’m just a junior, there’s no way I can be worthy of your toast. Every time my father returns home, he’ll always give exhortations, saying that I should be more modest outside, and not doing anything I want while flagging the Qin family’s name.”
“Sir is brother-in-law Jiang’s friend, then you’re counted as my senior, I should be the one to toast you.”
Qin Yi’s looks weren’t the only things that were deceiving. Even his mouth that was good at talking was similarly misleading; he managed to embody his identity’s uniqueness and gave Ye Zhifan the opportunity to ask about his father’s job in just one sentence.
Ye Zhifan, who was wondering how to verify that Qin Yi had any connections, heard him and said while already laughing: “As expected, only the children of famous families could have such breadth of mind, Mister Qin is young and promising, you also have influential parents, your future will be promising. I’m not sure where Mister Qin’s father works at? If I have the chance, I will definitely try to visit him.”
“My Big Uncle is the Ambassador of the Russian Consulate, Qin Wenbo. Director Ye probably hasn’t heard of him. Still, my elder brother, Qin Xiu, I’m sure Director Ye had met him before, my elder brother frequents Yunnan province during the past two years, perhaps Director Ye and my elder brother had met each other during some major event.”
He didn’t know much about Qin Wenbo, but he knew about Qin Xiu! It’s also a fact that they had met each other during a meeting!
With just a few words, Ye Zhifan’s heart was now open wide; Old Jiang really didn’t lie to him!
He quickly replied: “No wonder Mister Qin looks so familiar; it turns out you’re Translator Qin’s brother! I had actually bumped into Translator Qin during big meetings multiple times two years ago. Unfortunately, Translator Qin was extremely busy then, and I wasn’t able to converse with him for long.”
“My elder brother is a busy man, even I, his little brother, needed to book an appointment ahead of time just to say a few words to him.” The smile hanging on Qin Yi’s lips grew more prominent, in his high-class suit that was tailored-made, his every motion seemed to carry a hint of arrogance, and that had instead highlighted the uniqueness of his identity, which also made the smile on Ye Zhifan’s face grow more genuine.
Though Mister Qin before his eyes had a slightly frivolous look, he was indeed a member of the Qin family, after taking a closer look, he does seem quite similar to Qin Xiu, whom he had seen several times.
The moment Old Jiang the matchmaker, noticed the two warmed up to each other, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although Qin Yi called him brother-in-law, it was nothing more than because his wife’s last name was Cao and was a cousin-branch of the Qin family. If they really wanted to get into the details, he wasn’t even Qin Yi’s brother-in-law, it’ll be more precise to say he was Qin Xiu’s brother-in-law; after all, only Qin Xiu’s mother had the last name, Cao.
As to Qin Yi, he was just Qin Xiu’s younger cousin.
“Little Brother Qin, why don’t you have a chat with Director Ye, for now, I’ll go and check whether or not Old Mister Cao had arrived.” Old Jiang got up, intending to leave the empty space to Qin Yi, “If the Old Mister has arrived, I’ll come back for you immediately.”
Qin Yi wanted nothing more for him to leave, he smiled: “Then I’ll have to trouble brother-in-law Jiang for that.”
It was Old Mister Cao’s 80th birthday today; Qin Yi was one of the Qin family members that came to celebrate; how could he be absent.
Ye Zhifan’s gaze flickered briefly as he expressed an apologetic face, he apologized: “I’ve troubled Mister Qin to set aside some time out of your busy schedule to come over here, how about this, if Mister Qin is still in the Provincial City tomorrow night, then I’ll arrange another dinner tomorrow to thank Mister Qin.”
There probably won’t be a deal if they only met once; by meeting twice, there’s a higher chance that this matter would be settled.
