After dinner, Zeng Xian was called to the study by Yi Xinghua.

"Chairman, what's the matter?"

Even calling him to the study room late at night must have something very important to explain.

Yi Xinghua walked back and forth in the study twice with his hands behind his back before saying:

"Zeng Xian, what do you think of my second daughter?"

Zeng Xian was stunned, what did this mean?

"The second young lady is beautiful and generous, extremely intelligent, dignified and virtuous..."

Zeng Xian tried hard to think of these words of praise.

Yi Xinghua interrupted:

"to be honest!"

Zeng Xian paused and couldn't tell what he wanted to say.

But since he was asked to tell the truth, he would do it.

"The second young lady seems to have deep resentment towards this family. She is more radical in what she says and does, and it is easier to offend others. I don't know much about the rest. After all, we haven't been together for a long time."

Yi Xinghua nodded,

"You are right! The reason why she became like this is all my fault. The child is a good child, but I, the father, did not educate her well."

Zeng Xian comforted him a little and said:

"There is no need for the chairman to say that. Students taught by the same teacher can be divided into good ones and bad ones. Besides, the second lady has not been raised by your side since she was a child."

Yi Xinghua raised his hand to interrupt,

"No matter what, I feel deeply indebted to this daughter.

As you just said, a character like hers can easily offend people, which is what worries me.

That's fine at home. Once she goes outside, I'm worried that she will get into trouble.

So I want you to help me watch her and don't let her get tripped up.

But don't let her know that I arranged it."

Zeng Xian felt a little overwhelmed. Xi Weian asked him to protect Yi Xinghua, and now Yi Xinghua asked him to protect Yi Zhongyu. He really wished he could divide himself into several points and share them equally.

"I know, Chairman!"

At breakfast time the next day, Aunt Gu said:

"Sir, the chef borrowed from Sassoon Public Relations has prepared the tea list. Do you want to take a look?"

"No need, I'll leave this matter to you, Zhong Yu. You have been living in Singapore for so many years, and you have been dealing with foreigners a lot with your grandfather.

Afternoon tea and ceremonial evening parties are all British things, you must prepare them well!"

Yi Zhongyu didn't expect to take on such a big task right after he started working, and his excitement about trying it was palpable.

"I know, father!"

Yi Zhongxiu was still a little happy that she had escaped this disaster, but Yi Xinghua blocked her secret happiness with one sentence.

"On the day of the tea dance, you have to prepare well to entertain a very important guest for your father."

Yi Zhongxiu said "Oh".

Although she was not very happy, she was quite experienced in socializing in this kind of situation and was not very averse to it.

Yi Zhongyu had something to do, so his face was naturally full of joy. The look in Zeng Xian's eyes no longer held the previous hostility, but instead revealed a proud smile.

Zeng Xian really couldn't understand this woman, as if she had defeated him in some way.

Returning to Xinghua Department Store, Yi Zhongling and Yi Zhongxiu first became familiar with the company's business under the arrangement of Yi Xinghua.

Yi Zhongling, on the other hand, went straight to arranging the tea dance, instructing the employees to do this and that, which can be said to be very resolute.

Two days later, the Xinghua Department Store Sky Garden Tea Dance was officially held.

Respectable young men and young ladies in Shanghai, as well as handsome men and beauties from the mainland in the Concession, will all dress up to participate.

Yi Zhongyu got dressed and went downstairs, asking Zeng Xian to be her driver.

"No, I want to follow the chairman!"

It is his job to protect Yi Xinghua.

"Don't worry, dad said he would stay at home and rest today and not go to the company. And I told him hello that I would like to lend you my money for a day."

Zeng Xian's hair stood on end, he felt really uncomfortable hearing these words.

"Do you want to wait for the eldest lady and the third lady?"

"No need! Sister went to the company after breakfast. As for Zhong Xiu, I don't want to go with her. Zhong Jie will send her there later."

Zeng Xian nodded,

"Okay, let's go!"

Yi Zhongyu pulled him and looked him up and down, then said with a look of disgust:

"Are you going to wear this? That is a ball that I have carefully organized for only the upper class to attend. Even though you are not qualified, don't you want to go in and have a look?"

Zeng Xian felt disgusted in his heart,

"In no mood!"

"You have to go in if you don't want to. Go back and change into some decent clothes, preferably a suit, and something clean."

This woman is simply overbearing and unreasonable.

Zeng Xian changed into a navy blue and black plaid suit. This was a new batch of suits released by Xinghua Department Store yesterday. Yi Xinghua asked him to choose one.

"I didn't expect you to be a clothes hanger, not bad!"

Yi Zhongyu's eyes were obviously a little surprised, but he didn't show it.

Zeng Xian followed Yi Zhongyu to the venue. Many young ladies and gentlemen arrived, and they were already singing and dancing.

Many ladies recognized Zeng Xian, who was in the limelight during the 10th anniversary of Xinghua Department Store, and couldn't help but send him radio waves.

Zeng Xian felt a burst of electricity running from top to bottom throughout his body. He took deep breaths repeatedly to suppress the anger.

Unexpectedly, this embarrassing scene was noticed by Yi Zhongyu, who was sitting far away, and gave him a look of disdain.

Zeng Xian said coldly in his heart:

"If you have the ability, let me try it out!"

"You can play whatever you want without following me."

Yi Zhongyu found an empty sofa and sat down, his eyes facing the door.

Zeng Xian sat down in another corner, picked up a bunch of grapes and ate them.

At the dance, cheerful music was played, and gentlemen in suits and ties invited their favorite ladies to dance. The so-called etiquette meeting was more like a blind date meeting.

If you find someone right here, maybe your family will go to the woman’s house to propose marriage when you get home.

Yi Zhongyu looked condescending, using her signature expression of disgust to reject invitations from several men, looking towards the door from time to time.

She is waiting for someone.

A few days ago, Yi Xinghua and Huang Yingru were talking in the room. They said that Tang Fengwu, the son of an old friend, was coming to Shanghai for work, and Yi Xinghua intended to match this person with Yi Zhongxiu.

The person he wanted Yi Zhongxiu to entertain at this dance was Tang Fengwu.

Yi Zhongyu found out about this, and felt that Yi Xinghua was partial, so he decided to cause trouble.

Not only Yi Zhongyu knew about this matter, but Zeng Xian also knew about it, and what he knew was different from what Yi Zhongyu knew.

Yi Xinghua told him that Mr. Tang Fengwu was a diplomat and he was young and promising.

His original intention was to bring about a marriage between him and Yi Zhongyu.

But based on Yi Zhongyu's misunderstanding of him, he would definitely not accept the person arranged by his family, so he came up with this move to provoke the general.

A wise daughter is no better than her father, but she is still as old as she is old!

As expected, Yi Zhongyu took the bait.

Yi Xinghua told Zeng Xian this matter so that he could help him when necessary.

Zeng Xian agreed verbally, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He doesn't like Yi Er, so why should he assist her in her marriage?

Zeng Xian was sitting far away and saw a waiter coming to Yi Zhongyu.

"Second Miss, Mr. Tang is here!"

"I got it! I'll draw the cards later and give him card No. 7."

"Yes, Miss Second!"
