My Little Poplar - Chap 107

With the cooperation with Zhongwei on the agenda, Bai Xinyu and Manager Xu saw each other more often but every time he saw Manager Xu, the first thing he thought of was not business but the kidnapping they had experienced in Botswana. He didn’t pay much attention to it afterwards and even if he did, he couldn’t have known the secrets, he just couldn’t forget what had happened in those 48 hours of uncertainty.

Manager Xu obviously couldn’t forget either, he had to talk to him over and over again every time they met and for Manager Xu, a retired Special Forces soldier in his late forties, it was a great opportunity to relive his youthful days, despite almost losing his life and to look back on them with fondness. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, Manager Xu always complimented Yu Fengcheng, Bai Xinyu felt that Yu Fengcheng’s presence had become stronger since his return from Africa, he seemed to see Yu Fengcheng’s avatar flashing in front of his eyes everywhere he went.

Yu Fengcheng called and texted him every day for three meals, one afternoon, he was in the office with Jian Suiying and Li Yu talking about business, when Yu Fengcheng’s call came in, Bai Xinyu glanced at the caller ID and snapped his phone on the coffee table and silenced it.

Jian Suiying is talking, suddenly he stops and looked at his phone.

Bai Xinyu said in all seriousness: “I think this is a good idea.”

Jian Suiying points to the phone, “Bring it here.”

Bai Xinyu said: “Brother, let’s get down to business.”

“I’ll tell you… bring it.”

Bai Xinyu had no choice, he handed him the phone.

Jian Suiying took the phone and looked at it, grunted and pressed the speakerphone.

Bai Xinyu didn’t often answer Yu Fengcheng’s phone and even less often when he does, Yu Fengcheng’s voice sounded happy as hell, “Xinyu, I…”

“Don’t be so affectionate, use your first and last name.” Jian Suiying said nonchalantly.

Yu Fengcheng paused for a moment and said, “Brother Jian?”

“Yes, Xinyu, is on a date here, I can’t take your call.”

“It’s office hours, he can’t have appointments to go on a date.”

Jian Suiying said angrily, “Does he have to tell you if he’s going on a date or not?”

Bai Xinyu gave him a pleading look, telling Jian Suiying to get off the phone.

Yu Fengcheng said calmly: “I just know.”

“You’ve been pestering my brother so shamelessly all day, are you ashamed of yourself? For the sake of my acquaintance with your uncle, I’ve been trying to show you some respect, if you keep on being so fucking aggressive, I’ll come and sit in your house!”

Yu Fengcheng smiled, “Come on, Jian, my parents like Xinyu, if you come, they’ll go to the Bai family to propose marriage.”

“You don’t give a fuck!” Jian Suiying said angrily, “What do you want!”

Bai Xinyu reached for the phone, Li Yu grabbed his wrist, pushed him back onto the couch, whispered: “If you try to take the phone back, your brother won’t let you go.”

Bai Xinyu thought the same thing but it hurt his brain to let the two talk like that.

Yu Fengcheng said politely: “Brother Jian, I just like him, if you shout me and expect me to I give up it is useless, I’m still a man. Instead of thinking of ways to stop me, think of ways to use me, it’s not every year that you get the chance, I want to please you.”
