"This guy didn't cause you any trouble, did he?" Ye Xiao didn't have high hopes, although it is said that age doesn't define ambition, Tang Xuewen was indeed very young.

Speaking of Tang Xuewen, Han Xuewei had just gathered her thoughts and started talking enthusiastically.

"I never expected someone only eighteen years old to have such talent. Anything related to business, he gets it with just a hint and can then infer other principles. The first day, indeed, there was a lot he didn't understand, and he wasn't shy to ask questions. But by the second day, he could already handle some matters for me. Now, he has even started working with me on company mergers. I've never said this before, but I am sure, Tang Xuewen is a business prodigy, and a rare one at that." Han Xuewei looked at Ye Xiao and continued, "I am considering not just having him as an assistant but promoting him directly to vice president. I can see that Tang Xuewen definitely has the capability!"

An eighteen-year-old vice president. It seemed Han Xuewei wanted to entrust Tang Xuewen with a very important position. Just three or four days had been enough for Han Xuewei to recognize Tang Xuewen's abilities.

Han Xuewei, having been the general manager at Jianjun Real Estate, had seen many people in the business world, and since she was so sure of Tang Xuewen's abilities, it could only mean one thing: Tang Xuewen truly had the capability.

"It seems he really is a rough diamond." Ye Xiao said with a smile, "However, he can't be your vice president."

"Oh?" Han Xuewei said puzzled, "What do you mean? If you are thinking about sending him back to school, I can only say that would be a complete waste of talent. A talent like Tang Xuewen absolutely cannot afford to waste time in school, not even a single day."

Ye Xiao smiled and raised an eyebrow, "When did I ever say I wanted Tang Xuewen to go back to school? I think Tang Xuewen no longer wishes to attend school anyway."

As Han Xuewei listened to Ye Xiao, she felt there was something mysterious about his words, as if he had some idea but chose not to immediately disclose it.

"He's actually still in a learning phase. For business knowledge, he learns very quickly. I think in a few days, he will be able to master some business techniques," Han Xuewei said, "Do you have some plan?"

"What is my current role?" Ye Xiao suddenly asked with a grin.

"Role? A student at Minghai Academy!" Han Xuewei heard Ye Xiao's question and was a bit confused by what he meant but still gave the answer she thought was most correct.

Ye Xiao said, "No, my current role is as a major shareholder of Snow Shadow Real Estate Company."

"Oh, right. So what? Does this have a direct connection with Tang Xuewen?" Han Xuewei asked with confusion. Even though she was a smart and beautiful girl, she still couldn't grasp what Ye Xiao was implying.

"It will be related. By the way, you seemed to be thinking about something just now," Ye Xiao spoke and then returned to the topic they had just discussed.

Hearing Ye Xiao bring up what was for him a rather sensitive topic once again, Han Xuewei immediately felt her heart fluttering.

"It's nothing. Humph, I'm not going to cook anymore. I'm going to greet Ling Shuya and the others. You can cook here," Han Xuewei said, no longer wanting to stick around, perhaps because she couldn't stop imagining certain not-so-innocent things whenever she was alone in a room with Ye Xiao.

"Hey, I'm a guest here!" Ye Xiao couldn't help but exclaim, bemused that though he was a guest, now he was expected to cook.

"You said you wanted to show off your cooking skills; we are all waiting for it!" Han Xuewei said with a slight smile at the kitchen door, then she walked out.

Hearing Han Xuewei's words, Ye Xiao was speechless. He had indeed said that, but it was said in jest. Yet…

Seems like he had no choice but to cook today. So, resignedly, Ye Xiao started to seriously show his cooking skills; after all, cooking was a piece of cake for him.

Before long, Li Yinge entered the kitchen.

Regardless of anything, Ye Xiao was a guest. Even if Lin Dieying and Han Xuewei could leave Ye Xiao alone in the kitchen, Li Yinge, being a senior, couldn't do the same.

"Ye Xiao, look at this, it's not right letting you come as a guest and end up cooking," Li Yinge said with a smile as she looked at Ye Xiao, who had already tied on an apron.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and responded, "Aunt Li, they all know I can cook two dishes. Today is just right; I'll give it a try. If it doesn't taste good, I hope Aunt Li will be forgiving."

"It sounds like you'll do much better than those two girls," said Li Yinge with praise.

The cooking then naturally fell to Ye Xiao and Li Yinge. In reality, Li Yinge was just acting as Ye Xiao's assistant for the rest of the time, handing him bunches of vegetables and blocks of meat. In Ye Xiao's hands, it was truly miraculous how quickly the dishes were prepared.

Li Yinge couldn't help but ask Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, did you learn to be a chef or something?"

"Learn cooking?" Ye Xiao chuckled, "No, I used to experiment with recipes when I was free, and gradually I got a lot better at it. Whenever Aunt Li wants to eat the dishes I make, I'll come over, as long as Aunt Li doesn't mind my cooking."

Li Yinge looked at Ye Xiao. She could tell that both her daughter and her niece seemed to have taken a liking to Ye Xiao. If she were to voice her opinion about Ye Xiao, Li Yinge was really very satisfied, whether as a son-in-law or a nephew-in-law, Li Yinge was completely in agreement. However, that was precisely where the problem lay.

Ye Xiao seemed to be very likable. Her daughter and niece had both fallen for Ye Xiao at the same time. What's more, Ye Xiao had brought along four girls today. Although she didn't know what their relationship was with Ye Xiao, the fact that they were with Ye Xiao meant they certainly had some relationship. Li Yinge also believed that among these four, there must be someone who had taken a liking to Ye Xiao as well.

Previously, Li Yinge had wanted to swallow her pride and personally meddle to find a match for her daughter, but now she no longer felt that way. Who Ye Xiao would choose in the future was up to Ye Xiao himself.

Although Ye Xiao wasn't as handsome as Pan An or Song Yu, he had substance, capability on the outside, and culinary skills on the inside.

He was absolutely a model man. How many women could resist such a man's allure?

Half an hour later, the dining table was covered with a variety of dishes.

"This half of the dishes was cooked by Ye Xiao himself, everyone must give them a try!" Li Yinge sat at the head of the table, after all, she was an elder.

Ling Shuya immediately grinned and picked up a piece of braised eggplant, took a bite, nodded, and said with a smile, "Never mind what kind of person Ye Xiao is, no matter how unimpressive, but these cooking skills are truly excellent, completely on par with high-level chefs of a five-star hotel."

Ye Xiao, upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, immediately showed a bitter face and said to Ling Shuya, "I say, Miss Ling, are you complimenting me or criticizing me?"

"Just being factual, your culinary skills are really good!" Ling Shuya very earnestly, then looked around at the others and said, "Everyone try this braised eggplant, honestly, isn't it delicious?"

The people listened to Ling Shuya's words and also each picked up a piece of braised eggplant.

At that moment, Lin Dieying, who was eating faster, nodded and said, "Mmm, this braised eggplant is really delicious, don't you all feel the same?"

Su Yun delicately said, "This braised eggplant has a hint of sweetness, but not too much, just the right amount. Once you taste it, it retains the original flavor of the eggplant, which is quite difficult to achieve."

Ling Shuya immediately smiled and said, "Right, I was telling the truth, wasn't I?"

Ye Xiao was quite surprised; Ling Shuya wasn't usually one to compliment him.

Sure enough, Ling Shuya then said, "That's why I say I am very honest. Good is good, bad is bad, Ye Xiao's cooking is definitely top-notch, but..."

Ling Shuya paused here and stopped speaking.

And the others, upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, all focused their attention on Ling Shuya, clearly very curious to hear what Ling Shuya wanted to say next.

"It's just that his character isn't very good!" Ling Shuya giggled as she spoke.

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, almost everyone laughed.

Because today, Ling Shuya's words were really too euphemistic. She used to not talk about poor character. Instead, she used other more cutting words instead, like shameless, bastard, rogue, etc.

But today, with Li Yinge, an elder, present, there were some things that Ling Shuya didn't find appropriate to say outright.

"For today, since Ling Shuya has shown mercy, let's toast!" Ye Xiao raised his glass with a big smile and at the same time wished Aunt Li good health.

Li Yinge quickly said, "Thank you, thank you."

Repeatedly expressing her thanks, even the usually non-drinking Li Yinge insisted on taking a sip.

"Actually, I invited everyone over today mainly to thank everyone. Last time, because of some matters, it had been postponed, so..." Li Yinge was speaking when she saw Han Xuewei's somewhat sad expression and sighed softly!

Han Xuewei's father had died. If those related matters hadn't been mentioned, perhaps it wouldn't matter, but now, inevitably, Li Yinge's words had touched on it.

"Sister Xuewei!" Lin Dieying grasped Han Xuewei's hand, looking at her with some concern.

Han Xuewei managed to smile faintly and said, "I'm fine, I'd like to toast someone with this drink, and that person is Ye Xiao."

Upon hearing Han Xuewei's words, Ye Xiao instantly looked serious and turned to Han Xuewei, who had already picked up her glass.
