Chapter 522 - 235: If You Really Piss Me Off, the Consequences Will Be Severe
"Xu Yun."
Xi Wei froze for a moment when he heard the name.
’Wait, why is this guy suddenly back?’
’And he found his way here!’
Xi Wei narrowed his eyes. It seemed this visitor was not here for a friendly chat.
As for how the other man got his number, it must have been his love-struck sister who gave it to him.
"Wait a moment. I’ll come down to get you."
Xi Wei hung up, then called his secretary in. "Go get my good tea and brew two cups immediately. I’m going downstairs to meet someone."
"Meet someone?"
The secretary watched President Xi’s rapidly departing figure, feeling a little puzzled.
’Which city official is it this time?’
’No, that’s not right!’
’If a city official were coming, they would have called ahead, and the chairman should be the one to receive them!’
’The person President Xi is meeting must be another businessman, or an extraordinary friend!’
After the call, Xu Yun sat on the lobby sofa to wait, with Yang Siqi sitting quietly beside him.
"President Xu, was that President Xi of this group, Xi Wei, that you just called?"
Xu Yun said, "Yes, who else would it be?"
"Will he come down to see us?"
Yang Siqi felt a little apprehensive.
Although she knew Xu Yun was very powerful, deep down, she still felt he wasn’t as powerful as Xi Wei.
After all, the man was among the top tier of rich young masters in Jiangcheng.
"I don’t know either."
Xu Yun smiled. "Let’s give it a shot. What if he comes?"
Yang Siqi was speechless. "..."
The handsome man and beautiful woman were an eye-catching pair, drawing the subconscious gazes of passing staff members.
A manager, returning and passing the front desk, asked curiously, "Who are those two?"
"I don’t know."
The receptionist replied, "They seem to be looking for President Xi, but they don’t have an appointment, so I didn’t dare call upstairs. They’re just waiting over there."
"Oh."
The manager glanced back at Xu Yun and Yang Siqi, pursed his lips, and chuckled. "President Xi isn’t someone just anyone can meet. Even I only see him a few times a week."
"But from the way he spoke, he seemed to know our President Xi."
The receptionist said, "After I turned him away, he made a phone call."
"I ’know’ David Beckham, but does he know me?"
The manager said, "He’s probably just another person trying to drum up business with President Xi."
Just as the two were chatting idly, the exclusive elevator for the top floor suddenly opened, and Xi Wei walked out.
Everyone along his path stopped and called out, "Hello, President Xi!"
When the receptionist and the manager saw him, they immediately straightened up and said respectfully, "President Xi."
But Xi Wei paid them no mind, brushing right past them and heading straight for Xu Yun and Yang Siqi.
The receptionist and the manager: "???"
’No way, he actually knows him!’
Xu Yun also saw him right away and turned to Yang Siqi. "See? He came, didn’t he?"
Yang Siqi was speechless. "..."
When Xi Wei reached Xu Yun, the two men sized each other up.
This was their first real face-to-face meeting.
Before, they had only glimpsed each other from a distance without any real contact.
Because of Xu Yun’s mysterious background, and the fact that he was the man his sister doted on, Xi Wei didn’t dare to offend him lightly.
Xi Wei took the initiative, smiling as he asked, "President Xu, are you back from your trip?"
"Yes, I’m back."
Xu Yun said, "A friend and I were just driving by, so I thought I’d drop in, have a chat and some tea in your office. I hope I’m not interrupting your work?"
"And if I said you were, would you decide not to come up?"
Xu Yun chuckled. "Then I wouldn’t go up. We can chat here just as well, as long as you don’t mind."
"Forget it. Let’s talk in my office."
Xi Wei said with a sigh of resignation, "There are too many eyes and ears here. This is no place to talk."
Watching the two of them at odds, not looking at all like good friends, Yang Siqi felt a mix of emotions.
’This doesn’t feel like a friendly visit. It feels like Xu Yun is here to cause trouble.’
However, it also made her realize Xu Yun’s power once again. He was even more formidable than she had imagined; even Xi Wei had to show him deference.
And so, under the astonished gazes of the receptionist and the manager, Xu Yun and Yang Siqi were personally escorted by Xi Wei into the exclusive elevator.
The receptionist, in particular, was worried that Xu Yun might hold her earlier actions against her and have President Xi fire her.
’But I was just following the rules!’
Xu Yun and Yang Siqi arrived at Xi Wei’s penthouse office.
The secretary had already prepared the tea and was waiting for them.
He had expected only one guest, but seeing an extra person, he immediately went to pour another cup and placed it in front of Yang Siqi.
As he did, he realized she was an acquaintance—a college classmate of his.
Yang Siqi looked at him and felt a bit awkward as well.
However, neither of them greeted the other, pretending to be strangers.
After entering, Xu Yun walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the scenery below, and remarked, "You have a really great view here."
"You can look at the scenery later." Xi Wei waved his hand, dismissing his secretary, then glanced at Yang Siqi.
Yang Siqi naturally understood what Xi Wei meant. He wanted her to leave, too.
’He wants to talk to Xu Yun alone!’
But she looked at Xu Yun, and he didn’t say anything about her leaving. So, she could only force herself to pretend she didn’t get the hint.
Seeing this, Xi Wei understood.
’If she’s not leaving, then so be it.’
He spoke bluntly to Xu Yun, "Just say what you came to say."
"I’m a petty person, and I hold grudges."
Xu Yun turned, walked back, and sat in the chair opposite Xi Wei. "Having someone try to seduce me on the road... that was rather distasteful."
"That was just a test!"
Xi Wei glanced at Yang Siqi again before saying, "Given your relationship with my sister, you should be able to understand how a concerned older brother feels."
"I understand, but I don’t accept it."
Xu Yun said, "Not unless you give me some form of compensation."
"You came here to ask me for money?"
Hearing this, Xi Wei’s jaw nearly dropped, as if he had heard something completely incomprehensible.
In his impression, Xu Yun was not someone who was short on cash!
"Who would complain about having too much money? But it’s not for me."
Xu Yun pointed to Yang Siqi beside him. "This is my friend. She owns a fitness equipment company that’s just starting out and facing difficulties. Just help her out, introduce some business to her."
Xi Wei was speechless. "..."
’So after all this, he just came here to get business for another woman!’
Still, this was a minor issue.
"Fine, no problem."
Xi Wei hesitated for a moment before nodding readily. "Have your friend get my secretary’s WeChat and phone number on her way out. I’ll have him coordinate with your friend later."
"Good. It’s settled then."
Xu Yun stood up. "I won’t disturb you from your work and money-making. We’re leaving."
"Wait."
Xi Wei asked, "Does Xino know you’re back?"
"No."
"Xu Yun, fool around all you want, but I hope you don’t end up hurting her."
Xi Wei said coldly, "Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook."
"Your threats are no threat to me."
Xu Yun replied, completely unfazed, "If you really piss me off, the consequences will be severe!"
Xi Wei was speechless. "..."
’Uh, I’m the one being threatened now!’
"Oh, right."
Before leaving, Xu Yun suddenly turned his head. "I promised your sister I’d visit your home once. So please do me a favor and tell your father that I plan to pay him a visit tonight."
Xi Wei was speechless. "..."
