After the terms were settled, Dai Hengxin took the opportunity to invite Xiao Yingchun to dinner.
Xiao Yingchun, however, took the initiative to pay. “Didn’t I say last time that I’d treat you? Why not today?”
Dai Hengxin hadn’t expected her to keep track so carefully. After a moment’s thought, he smiled and agreed.
Just as the two reached the entrance of Haidilao, they ran straight into a group of young people dressed in loud, flashy clothes.
Xiao Yingchun had always kept her distance from youngsters with brightly dyed, multicolored hair, so she immediately stepped aside to give way.
Unexpectedly, the one in front suddenly exclaimed, “Old Dai? What are you doing here? And who’s this?”
When Dai Hengxin saw him, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Young Master He? I was just thinking of looking for you. What a coincidence. I actually have something to discuss, want to eat together?”
Before long, He Liangcong was sitting with Dai Hengxin and Xiao Yingchun on the outdoor terrace of a music bar.
“Miss, the owner of this place is a friend of mine,” He Liangcong said with a grin, his eyes sparkling. “They run night venues, so there’s basically no business during the day. We’ve booked the whole place—much easier to talk.”
Ever since Dai Hengxin clarified that Xiao Yingchun wasn’t his girlfriend, He Liangcong had been wearing that exact expression.
The interest in the young man’s eyes was obvious—he wanted to hit on Xiao Yingchun.
Xiao Yingchun felt helpless. If she’d known earlier that the partner Dai Hengxin wanted to meet was like this, she probably would have refused outright.
She simply couldn’t trust a youngster with red, green, yellow, blue, and purple hair all over his head.
No matter how she looked at him, he didn’t seem like someone who could actually get things done.
Was he really not going to mess things up?
Outwardly, Xiao Yingchun still maintained basic politeness. “Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Young Master He.”
“Hey, no need to be so formal—just call me Brother Cong,” he said.
Xiao Yingchun sighed lightly. “I might actually be older than you.”
“How is that possible?” He Liangcong laughed exaggeratedly.
Xiao Yingchun smiled faintly and asked, “How old are you?”
“Twenty six,” He Liangcong replied.
Xiao Yingchun looked at Dai Hengxin in disbelief. “……”
Someone wearing this so cringey and immature couldn’t really be twenty six, could he?
Dai Hengxin nodded from the side. “Yes. He’s twenty six.”
Xiao Yingchun thought: With that outfit, he looks more like a sixteen-year-old street punk.
He Liangcong wasn’t stupid. One glance was enough for him to tell she didn’t believe him. He jumped up anxiously. “Hey, hey, hey! You still don’t believe me? Want me to show you my ID?”
Xiao Yingchun waved her hand with a smile—one that wasn’t particularly sincere. “No need. I believe you.”
He Liangcong looked a little deflated. “I know, you don’t believe me because of how I’m dressed… Just wait. I’ll clean myself up next time and definitely impress you!”
Xiao Yingchun hurriedly refused. “No, no! Just be yourself.”
He Liangcong froze for a moment, glancing at Xiao Yingchun and then at Dai Hengxin, unsure whether she meant that sincerely or was being sarcastic.
Dai Hengxin had no way to respond and simply changed the subject. “I asked you out today because there’s something I want to discuss with you…”
After Dai Hengxin finished explaining, He Liangcong nodded eagerly. “That’s totally doable!”
“I always knew you had it in you, Old Dai. Look at you now, upgrading in no time!”
Dai Hengxin gestured toward Xiao Yingchun. “The company will include her as well. She has supply behind her—enough to support an auction house.”
He Liangcong was momentarily stunned. He clearly hadn’t expected this plainly dressed but pretty girl to be the real backbone behind Old Dai’s auction plans.
Although doubts lingered in his mind, he came from a prominent family and didn’t voice them out loud.
