56: Chapter 55, Judging by Appearance!

Fang Yi scratched his head and asked again, “Handsome or not?”

Shen Binnan shook her head.

Fang Yi immediately rejoiced, “Haha, I just knew I am more handsome.”

Shen Binnan said distantly, “I haven’t seen the person yet, so it’s premature to make such judgments, but based on my feeling, he’s much handsomer than you.”

“…”

Fang Yi said, “You dare to meet someone without seeing them?

Is it an online friend?”

Shen Binnan nodded, “You could say that.”

Fang Yi declared, “Fine, then I’ll have to see for myself what this person you’re meeting is like.”

However, the next moment, Shen Binnan shook her head, “You don’t need to go.”

…

Upon exiting Shen Binnan’s office, Fang Yi stood with one arm across his chest, the other hand supporting his chin as he was clearly deep in thought, pondering who exactly Shen Binnan was going to meet, and why she insisted on not bringing him along.

Could it be that this woman wasn’t afraid of the Black Water Alliance?

But Fang Yi wasn’t the type to be shamelessly persistent.

Since Shen Binnan said she didn’t want him to go, he had no desire to tag along either.

He thought she deserved to learn her lesson the hard way.

Yet for some reason, he couldn’t quite let go of his concerns.

Fang Yi took out his phone and dialed Feng Wenhua.

Feng Wenhua by now held Fang Yi in the utmost reverence, far from the disdain he first showed him—Feng Wenhua knew how to read the times and avoid clashing with Fang Yi, promptly conceding.

Upon picking up Fang Yi’s call, Feng Wenhua immediately responded with utmost respect, “Brother Yi, what can I do for you?

Just give me the word, and I’ll go through fire and water…”

Fang Yi briefly told him about Shen Binnan’s situation, asking him to follow Shen Binnan at a distance with someone else—not too close but not too far either.

The main thing was to keep a good eye on Shen Binnan and to call him immediately if she were in any danger.

Feng Wenhua quickly agreed.

“Hey!”

Just then, Ding Miaoyan’s voice came from behind him.

Fang Yi turned around and saw Ding Miaoyan with a file in her hands, immediately said, “I’m warning you, it’s after work hours now, so don’t talk to me about work.

I’m a good employee; I don’t deal with work matters in my private time after hours.”

Ding Miaoyan rolled her eyes at him, “I bet you wouldn’t even be upset if the company closed down tomorrow.”

Fang Yi retorted seriously, “I’m going to report you to Shen Binnan for cursing the company to close down.”

“…”

Ding Miaoyan was truly exasperated by this guy; she clenched her silver teeth, evidently gritting them at Fang Yi, but after taking a few deep breaths, she patted her tight, bulging chest and said annoyed, “Are you free tonight?”

Fang Yi replied, “I’m swamped every minute of the day, busy with a million things.

Obviously…” He saw Ding Miaoyan biting her lower lip, looking ready to explode, so he quickly changed his tune, “Of course, if it’s you asking me out, I’m definitely free.”

Ding Miaoyan said, “Fine, then meet me at table twelve in Purple Vine Bay tonight.

Wait there for me.”

“Why?”

“I’m asking you out on a date, is that a problem?” Ding Miaoyan blurted out defiantly.

Fang Yi immediately laughed, pointing at Ding Miaoyan with a cheeky smile, “I just knew…

I just knew…” His eyes twinkling, a mischievous grin spread across his face.

Ding Miaoyan disregarded him and headed straight into the CEO’s office.

Following that, Fang Yi went downstairs and asked the head of security, Ma Haigang, for a map.

The security chief immediately asked where Fang Yi was going, assuring him he knew the place.

So Fang Yi mentioned Purple Vine Bay.

“Damn!

Sorry, Mr.

Fang, I got too excited.” Ma Haigang’s face went from shock to an apologetic smile as he said, “Mr.

Fang, you really are rich.”

Fang Yi’s mind stirred and he asked, “So only the wealthy can go to Purple Vine Bay?”

Ma Haigang replied, “Not exactly, it’s just that the consumption there is really too expensive.

Even a bottle of wine costs five to six hundred, not to mention the food, which is all very pricey.

I’ve heard you even need to tip the waiters; otherwise, it’s embarrassing to go there.”

Fang Yi figured he got the gist, it was still a place only the rich could afford.

He had no idea why Ding Miaoyan would invite him there.

Riding his old Phoenix brand bicycle, Fang Yi headed straight to Purple Vine Bay.

Fang Yi knew the place and had memorized the map, so he didn’t get lost.

After about an hour, Fang Yi leisurely arrived at Purple Vine Bay on his bicycle.

Only when Fang Yi arrived did he realize that this so-called Purple Vine Bay was not just a restaurant, but also a hub of entertainment including chess, card games, salons, beautification, and more.

And the entire building bore only the three glowing characters of Purple Vine Bay.

Clearly, the whole building belonged to one owner.

As Fang Yi approached the entrance pushing his bicycle, a security guard came up to greet him but said, “Sorry, sir, it seems you’re in the wrong place.”

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “This is Purple Vine Bay, right?”

Anyone who could read knew that; inside, the security guard sneered to himself, managing a reluctant smile as he said, “Yes, but sir, please leave…”

Fang Yi parked his bicycle beside himself, hands stuffed in his pockets, with a look that was both smiling and not, he said, “Give me a reason why I should leave.”

The security guard was caught off guard.

The reason the security guard wanted Fang Yi to leave was simple; it was because of Fang Yi’s old Phoenix brand bicycle, and the fact that Fang Yi was wearing only a shirt and a pair of trousers, without any brand names.

He didn’t look like the son of a rich family or a wealthy person at all.

“It’s because of my bicycle that you won’t let me in, right?” Fang Yi suddenly said.

The guard’s face turned red.

After all, he was a security guard at Purple Vine Bay, and he felt he had already given this guy enough face by not spelling it out directly.

But he hadn’t expected the guy in front of him to be so clueless.

“I’m warning you, stop pestering me, or I’ll have to use force to make you leave,” the security guard said with a stern face.

Fang Yi laughed coldly and said, “I advise you not to judge a book by its cover, or you might end up in an ugly situation.”

The security guard was irritated and said, “Are you threatening me?!

With you just pushing a bicycle around like some poor loser, you dare act tough here!

This is Purple Vine Bay, a place only for those with assets over a million.

You, pushing that broken bicycle, had better scram!”

“Remember, you said it.

Don’t regret it later,” Fang Yi said.

The guard scoffed, “I’d like to see what you can do to me, boy.

Ah, you’re taking out your phone, you think you have some connections, huh?

But this is Purple Vine Bay…”

Fang Yi took out his phone and made a call; soon, a voice came from the other end: “Hello.”

“Hello, is this Secretary Hu?” Fang Yi said.

Hu Guanqing was intrigued and asked, “Is this…

Fang Yi?”

“Yes, it’s me, Fang Yi.”

“Oh, it’s you.” Hu Guanqing said, recalling what Old Zhou had told him.

This young man might not seem like much, but the old man behind him was a mysterious figure who had once helped Old Zhou and was his benefactor.

Therefore, if there was a chance to help, he would lend a hand.

“It’s like this, Secretary Hu, I need a favor,” Fang Yi said.

Hu Guanqing said with a smile, “What is it, young Fang?

If I can help, I definitely will.”

Calling Fang Yi “young Fang” was not a form of disrespect but a customary term of endearment used within the system when someone is admired or valued, and Secretary Hu’s tone was earnest, indicating he had no intention of shirking.

So Fang Yi didn’t hesitate to ask for the help he needed.

Sorry, I was too tired and overslept!)
