“No,” Xie Yanchuan said with decisive certainty.
He truly did not find anything excessive about Xu Jinzhi’s behavior. Everyone makes mistakes and pays a price for them. It was his big brother’s own business if he was willing to take responsibility for the person he liked.
“That’s good!” Xu Jinzhi was very happy, and followed up by saying to Xie Yanchuan, “Youyou is back; I’d like to introduce you two. When are you free so that we can all have a meal together?”
Xie Yanchuan was initially stunned, then spoke with a calm tone, “I’m free anytime, it depends on your arrangements.”
In truth, Xie Yanchuan’s heart was not at all calm, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He knew he had always been lacking in social interactions and that he had considerable problems in this respect.
Compared to other problems, timing was not an issue; he simply told Xu Jinzhi to notify him in advance so he could clear his schedule.
“I don’t know how things are progressing in your laboratory. I’ll try to choose a time that’s convenient for you,” Xu Jinzhi said, understandingly.
Hearing Xu Jinzhi mention the laboratory, a momentary sense of dejection, even more profound than when experiments failed, crept into Xie Yanchuan’s heart.
It seemed that he was somewhat concerned about what Xu Jinzhi thought of him.
Especially since there had been no progress at the laboratory at present, even though everyone had rallied and was working hard again.
Xie Yanchuan couldn’t see Xu Jinzhi’s current expression, but her voice didn’t sound unusual.
Xie Yanchuan continued, “It’s not too busy recently; I have time.”
“How about today then?” Xu Jinzhi liked to get things done without delay. Since Xie Yanchuan said he could make time, why not seize the moment.
Moreover, Xu Jinzhi was very happy at the moment; she felt today was a day well worth celebrating!
Xie Yanchuan also caught the joy in Xu Jinzhi’s words, thinking she must be really happy, likely because she got a little extra advantage from Xie Linchuan.
Although this matter was none of his business, for some reason, Xu Jinzhi’s mood seemed to affect him and made Xie Yanchuan feel relaxed as well.

“Today works for me,” Xie Yanchuan said.
“Then it’s settled for today!” Xu Jinzhi said excitedly, “Well then, that’s it for now. I’ll speak to Youyou, and we’ll meet tonight.”
“Mm,” Xie Yanchuan responded softly.
After hearing Xie Yanchuan’s voice, Xu Jinzhi didn’t dawdle and sent a message to Song You after hanging up the phone to tell her about dinner tonight.

After finishing her work, Xu Jinzhi left the company and drove to pick up Song You.
When she collected Song You, she immediately noticed that Song You seemed very unhappy, so Xu Jinzhi bluntly asked, “What’s the matter? Who upset you?”
Song You, clearly impatient, replied, “It’s nothing; I just found out that Song Xi will be coming to work at the company next month.”
Reminded by Song You, Xu Jinzhi immediately remembered: Song Xi was the Song Family’s illegitimate daughter, only two years younger than Song You and several months older than Youyou’s legitimate brother, Song Yun!
“It’s fine; she won’t be able to stir up any trouble,” Xu Jinzhi pondered what she knew about Song Xi from her previous life.
Although now Song Xi’s mother, Tan Yuanyuan, had become Mrs. Song, everyone knew about Song Jian’s past affair, and it was common knowledge that Song Xi was an illegitimate child.
Xu Jinzhi vaguely remembered that in her previous life, Song Xi married a scion. Initially, Tan Yuanyuan didn’t think highly of him, but Song Xi was satisfied with him and even managed to marry him.
As for the subsequent mess, that was their issue. Song You herself was capable, and Song Yun was a force to be reckoned with. They had a tight grip on the Song Family’s assets.
They didn’t let Tan Yuanyuan and Song Xi take any advantage, and in fact, later on, it was because of Song Yun’s support that Song You managed to leave that good-for-nothing man!
So Xu Jinzhi wasn’t worried that those two women could make waves, even if the butterfly effect caused them to act out; she had ways to squash them dead on the beach.
Xu Jinzhi was indeed only worried about that scumbag!
Internally, Xu Jinzhi thought, it would be best if he didn’t show up in this life at all; otherwise, she would make sure he suffered the consequences of his mistakes!
Song You was a bit annoyed and didn’t notice that Xu Jinzhi’s thoughts had already taken a few big turns. She said somewhat helplessly, “I know they can’t stir up any trouble, but it still bothers me.”
“Don’t worry about it. If she doesn’t behave, you, as her ‘big sister’…” Xu Jinzhi said while turning to give Song You a meaningful look, “teach her how to behave properly.”
Song You, initially disgruntled, couldn’t hold back a laugh, “Okay, let’s not talk about her.”
When Xu Jinzhi and Song You arrived at the restaurant, because it was an open setting, they could see Xie Yanchuan from a distance, and he noticed them coming as well and stood up to wait.
And when Song You spotted Xie Yanchuan, she gave Xu Jinzhi a very meaningful glance, “He’s exceptional indeed; no wonder he caught your eye.”
Not to mention anything else, just Xie Yanchuan’s appearance was enough to catch attention.
Especially considering that Xie Yanchuan was formally dressed in a shirt and trousers today, as if meeting a very important person.
Which wasn’t wrong—Song You was indeed an important person. With no experience in meeting a girlfriend’s friend, Xie Yanchuan had asked one of his few friends for advice.
He then learned about the significance of a girlfriend’s best friend. Apparently, they could play a crucial role in whether a relationship continues.
Although his relationship with Xu Jinzhi could not be described as dating, Xie Yanchuan felt it was better to be conscientious to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The two of them, who didn’t know each other?
Therefore, Xu Jinzhi pinched Song You, “Xie Yanchuan is not good with words, so don’t tease him too much later!”
“That’s not certain; after all, it’s my first time vetting your boyfriend, and since we’re going to spend a lifetime together, of course I have to be thorough,” Song You thought. Even though she had already accepted Xie Yanchuan internally, the proper scrutiny was still necessary.
If Xie Yanchuan really wasn’t suitable, she would be frank, even if it meant having a big argument with Xu Jinzhi.
Xu Jinzhi and Song You walked over, and as the mediator, Xu Jinzhi began to introduce them to each other. They then sat down.
After sitting down, the waiter came over, and they started ordering. Xie Yanchuan hadn’t spoken a word, just quietly watching Xu Jinzhi and Song You make their selections.
