Yan Ke'er was so angry at Bei Mo that her face turned bright red. She clenched her small fists tightly and shouted, "Who are you calling a lackey!"
Bei Mo raised her eyebrows, her arrogance becoming even more blatant. "Whoever answers is the lackey, of course."
She folded her arms across her chest and raised her eyebrows. "Besides, I'm not wrong. Aren't you just following Ai Yue around like a puppy?"
"Don't go too far," Yan Ke'er gritted her teeth, her anger boiling over.
If it weren't for the fact that causing trouble now would be difficult for the Yan family to clean up after, she would definitely give this insolent wretch a good slap.
"What do you call someone who looks down on others?" Yuan Meng nudged Yan Ke'er with her elbow and asked.
She couldn't stand to see someone on her side being bullied. Although Yan Ke'er was a bit of a troublemaker, she was still on her side and could be considered a little follower.
Since she had chosen to follow her, Yuan Meng naturally wouldn't let her little follower be mocked.
"Ah?" Yan Ke'er was the first to not react. She was dazed for a few seconds.
Then, her eyes lit up. "A dog! Judging people by appearance!"
Yuan Meng smiled faintly. "You're right."
As the two of them echoed each other, Bei Mo thought about it a little more carefully and understood the hidden meaning.
"You actually called me a dog!" she roared.
Yuan Meng raised her eyebrows and was not afraid at all. "I didn't say anything. You admitted it yourself."
After saying that, she gave Yan Ke'er a look.
Yan Ke'er was very smart and immediately understood what she meant. "We were just saying 'judging people by appearance'. It's you who has a guilty conscience and is making a self - identification, right?"
This kind of sarcasm couldn't be more obvious.
Bei Mo was so angry that she gasped for breath, but there was nothing she could do to them. After all, they really hadn't named names.
"One day, you'll fall into my hands," she gritted her teeth and left with a huff, stomping her high - heels.
Yan Ke'er rolled her eyes at her back and mumbled, "Please, she thinks she's so powerful."
No matter how tough she talked, she still left like a stray dog. She even lost the bet. How shameless.
"Since the company's matter has been settled, I'll leave first," Yuan Meng said to Ling Qianchen.
"Thanks to you today. I'm planning to hold a celebration banquet. Are you sure you want to leave?" Ling Qianchen immediately came up with an excuse.
"Yes, Manager Ai, please stay. Actually, we have some questions we'd like to ask you."
"I just want to breathe the air that a genius has breathed to see if I can improve my IQ."
"Manager Ai, our company's firewall can resist foreign attacks, thanks to you. You, the great hero, must stay."
The technical staff all tried to persuade her to stay. They weren't doing it for the president. They really admired Yuan Meng.
Yuan Meng really didn't want to stay with Ling Qianchen, but she couldn't refuse the enthusiasm of so many employees.
She could only nod helplessly. "Okay, then I'll be thick - skinned and celebrate with you today."
Hearing her agreement, all the technical staff cheered.
Ling Qianchen also had a smile on his face. He was thinking whether he should give these helpful employees a raise.
Or, it would be good to give them a bonus because of today's incident.
At this time, the technical staff didn't know that they had unknowingly helped things along.
"I want to go with you guys too. Free food, after all," Yan Ke'er said with a smile.
Of course, she didn't just want to mooch off the meal. She always felt that there was a very familiar aura about Ai Yue.
Yan Ke'er was a very persistent person and loved to get to the bottom of things.
If she couldn't figure out this sense of familiarity today, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Yuan Meng didn't expect this girl to follow. She immediately felt a headache coming on.
She frowned. "Weren't you looking for Yuan Meng? Why have you been following me?"
Hearing this, Yan Ke'er remembered the purpose of coming here today. She immediately looked at Lu Nanwei beside her. "Do you have any news about Yuan Meng?"
Lu Nanwei pushed the black - framed glasses on her face, lowered her head, took out her phone from her briefcase, checked the screen, and then shook her head. "No."
Yan Ke'er sighed helplessly and pouted slightly. "Where on earth is Yuan Meng?"
"Ah, forget it. Since I can't see her for now, let's go and mooch off the meal."
Yuan Meng really didn't expect this girl to have such a strange train of thought. Hearing her conclusion that they should go and mooch off the meal after all that entanglement, she almost fell over.
Lu Nanwei's expression was also very strained. She must have felt helpless too.
The group got in the car to go to the celebration banquet. Yuan Meng looked at Yan Ke'er and Lu Nanwei sitting in the back seat next to each other and couldn't help but feel a headache.
These two both knew her very well. She had to find a way to divert their attention...
Yuan Meng immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Mu Ran, asking her to pretend to be Yuan Meng and wait at the entrance of the Light Sculpture Hotel first.
Mu Ran replied with an OK immediately.
"Why are you just playing with your phone? Seriously, what do you think of President Ling?"
Yan Ke'er leaned over curiously, not caring at all that the other person she was talking about was driving the car.
"I have no opinion," Yuan Meng said immediately.
Yan Ke'er's round eyes rolled in their sockets, and she mumbled, "I thought there was something going on between you two..."
Yuan Meng gave a dry laugh. Yan Ke'er continued, "He's really not a good person. No one with good taste would take a fancy to him."
"Although he looks good on the outside, his temper, personality, and character are all, well, I won't say more. Everyone can see it."
After she said this, the car suddenly turned cold. The three of them immediately looked at Ling Qianchen in the driver's seat.
Even though only his side - face was visible, it was obvious how unhappy he was.
It was probably the first time that the famous President Ling had been bad - mouthed to his face.
Yuan Meng didn't know why this girl, Yan Ke'er, was so brave time and time again. She could only say that her courage was admirable.
After some bickering, the group arrived at the entrance of the Light Sculpture Hotel. Ling Qianchen threw the keys to the valet.
"The head of the technical department just sent me a message. They're already inside and seated," Ling Qianchen said.
Yuan Meng nodded and was about to go in when a familiar voice came from behind.
"Ai Yue?"
Yuan Meng immediately turned around. Han Wen was dressed in a dark blue suit and walked towards her with a surprised look on his face.
Yan Ke'er immediately smelled something interesting. She quickly pulled Lu Nanwei aside and started watching the show with great interest.
Today was really exciting. If she had known there would be so much drama, she should have brought some melon seeds when she left home!
"What are you doing here?" Han Wen had a smile on his lips. It was as if he could only see Yuan Meng and had no intention of greeting Ling Qianchen beside her.
"We solved a problem that wasn't too difficult today. Senior, why are you here?" Yuan Meng asked with a smile.
She had just been thinking about how to stall for time, and now someone had come. It was perfect.
"I just finished accompanying a client and was going to have a meal here. I didn't expect to run into you."
"Shall we eat together?" Han Wen said.
