Wang Dongliang listened to Ye Xiao's words, trying to detect any emotional fluctuations on Ye Xiao's face. However, in the end, he failed. Ye Xiao's expression was as calm as still water, and his smile was equally composed. It was identical to his normal state, as if the words he had just spoken were only to echo Wang Dongliang's words.

"Right, Ye Xiao is correct!" Wang Dongliang suddenly chuckled, then he said to the security guards, "You all should really learn from Ye Xiao."

Ye Xiao immediately responded to Wang Dongliang with a stern face, "I thought that last night's incident had made Director Wang angry. Seeing that Director Wang isn't holding a grudge against me, I'm truly touched. Director Wang, you are truly a role model for us all."

Ye Xiao's expression was very serious, as if everything he said was true. Wang Dongliang had originally thought that Ye Xiao was mocking him, but when he saw that Ye Xiao's expression did not reveal any malice, he began to think that Ye Xiao might be sincere.

Wang Dongliang then immediately adopted an upright demeanor and said to Ye Xiao, "I'm a person who distinguishes between public and private matters. I know you were considering the company's interest yesterday. However, in the company, superiors are superiors, and you ought to understand that. But I'm not petty. What's done is done; I won't mention it again. Keep working hard, I have a good feeling about you."

Listening to Wang Dongliang's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but give a bitter laugh, but he kept a smile on his face and said, "Director Wang, I..."

Ye Xiao had planned to genuinely praise Wang Dongliang, but at this moment, his cell phone rang.

He took out a Nokia phone that was definitely not worth more than a three-digit sum and pressed the answer button.

At this time, everyone's gaze, including Wang Dongliang, was fixed on this antiquated phone. Clearly, it should be new, but the model was a bit...

Ye Xiao saw everyone's gaze and kept a smile on his face as if he didn't notice, but Xia Nanhai's voice came through the phone at that moment.

"Is that Ye Xiao?" Xia Nanhai asked.

Ye Xiao immediately replied, "Yes, Uncle Xia, have you already arrived?"

"Yes, the person I sent is waiting downstairs at Blue Star Technology. I'll be waiting for you at the Jiang Family estate," said Xia Nanhai with a chuckle.

"Yes, Uncle Xia!" Ye Xiao answered.

The call ended!

The gazes of Wang Dongliang and others became somewhat peculiar. They had wanted to ask how much Ye Xiao had paid for his phone, if such an antique was even still for sale. But now, they refrained from asking the question because, in their eyes, it wasn't worth asking anymore.

"Ye Xiao, the Uncle Xia you just mentioned," Wang Dongliang inquired cautiously, "who is that?"

Ye Xiao glanced at Wang Dongliang, chuckled, and said, "Xia Mingyue's father."

Ye Xiao didn't plan to hide anything. In fact, he deliberately wanted Wang Dongliang to know because he was curious to see the expression on someone like Wang Dongliang's face when he heard that Xia Mingyue's father had called him personally.

Sure enough, Wang Dongliang was flabbergasted upon hearing Ye Xiao's words. Clearly, he thought this was quite improbable.

"Mr. Xia's father called you personally?" Wang Dongliang was extremely surprised. Not only Wang Dongliang but also the security guards around him were very shocked.

"Director Wang, you're really making a mountain out of a molehill. Have you forgotten? Blue Star Technology is also a subsidiary of Xia Group. Therefore, as an employee of Blue Star Technology, it is my duty to obey the orders of the Chairman of Xia Group. Hehe, well, I have some things to attend to; you guys chat amongst yourselves!" Ye Xiao said and then left the logistics department directly.

Wang Dongliang and a few security guards from the logistics department were left standing there, speechless for a long time.

"Brother Wang, was that really Chairman Xia who called Ye Xiao just now? What kind of person is Ye Xiao that he would actually trouble Chairman Xia to call him personally?" A security guard said to Wang Dongliang with some unease.

Wang Dongliang was even more uneasy. What he feared most now was that Ye Xiao had overheard what they had said about him. Of course, his prayer was that Ye Xiao had not heard anything.

Downstairs at Blue Star Technology, a Mercedes Benz S600 was parked at the entrance. As soon as Ye Xiao came out, a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a sharp suit and tall stature, approached him with a smile and asked, "Hello, are you Mr. Ye Xiao?"

"I am Ye Xiao," Ye Xiao answered.

The young man immediately said, "The Chairman sent me to pick you up. Please, Mr. Ye."

Ye Xiao nodded, then got into the Mercedes Benz with the young man.

The young man also got into the car. He was the driver of the vehicle. Once seated, he immediately turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Mr. Ye, shall we go?"

"Sure!" Ye Xiao said. He then added, "Also, you don't need to call me Mr. Ye. Just Ye Xiao is fine. I'm just Xia Mingyue's driver."

"Oh?" The young man was visibly taken aback upon hearing Ye Xiao's words and said, "So you are Miss Xia's driver."

"Is there an issue with that?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile.

"No, it's just a bit surprising," the young man said. "That the Chairman would send his personal car to pick you up."

"This is Chairman Xia's personal car?" Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "So, does that mean you are Chairman Xia's driver?"

"Yes!"

"Looks like we're in the same line of work, but you're driving for the company chairman while I drive for a subsidiary's boss, so you outrank me!" Ye Xiao joked.

"Heh, don't be kidding, we're both drivers, what's this about high level and low level? I'm Jiang Chuan, pleased to meet you," said the young man with a smile as he looked at Ye Xiao.

"Jiang Chuan? Heh, then I guess I should call you Brother Jiang. Uh, Brother Jiang, watch out, there's a pedestrian in front," Ye Xiao suddenly noticed someone crossing the road and immediately warned him.

Jiang Chuan immediately looked ahead and was startled, but his reactions were quick, and he promptly slowed down the car.

Jiang Chuan gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Let's get going."

Jiang Chuan's driving skills were similar to those of Ye Xiao, at least in maintaining a steady speed, as they headed to the Jiang Family's place. Ye Xiao didn't know who this Jiang Family consisted of. Moreover, upon getting into the car, Ye Xiao had taken a seat in the back, so the two had only exchanged brief words and no longer spoke.

Ye Xiao wasn't sure how much time had passed when Jiang Chuan slowly drove into a large estate. After stopping the car, Jiang Chuan noticed Ye Xiao had no reaction and turned his head only to look at him with surprise – Ye Xiao had actually fallen asleep in the backseat. He thought to himself that this guy was pretty bold, daring to sleep in a stranger's car.

But was he really sleeping?

Jiang Chuan gently called out to Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao."

Whether Jiang Chuan's voice was too soft or for some other reason, Ye Xiao didn't even twitch an eyelid, seemingly really asleep.

In fact, it was not Ye Xiao's fault; the journey had taken an hour, and sitting in the back, he had eventually dozed off.

Jiang Chuan laughed wryly to himself muttering, "This guy!"

Just then, Jiang Chuan saw several people approaching, the most eye-catching of whom was a girl dressed like a little princess, her serene and ethereal appearance full of vivacity.

"Hey, we're here, aren't you waking up?" Jiang Chuan said loudly to Ye Xiao.

It was then that Ye Xiao slowly opened his eyes, looked at Jiang Chuan, and then looked outside, saying, "That was fast, I closed my eyes and the next thing I know, we've arrived."

Lines of frustration flashed across Jiang Chuan's face.

As they got out of the car, Ye Xiao first noticed the vibrant young girl – Jiang Miaoke!

Jiang Miaoke also saw Ye Xiao, and the moment she saw him, her eyes lit up. Ye Xiao thought Jiang Miaoke would surely greet him, but to his surprise, she just smiled gently at Ye Xiao and then walked toward Jiang Chuan.

"Brother, you're so slow," Jiang Miaoke said to Jiang Chuan.

Hearing Jiang Miaoke's words, Ye Xiao was genuinely taken aback and looked at Jiang Chuan in disbelief.

With a smile, Jiang Chuan said to Ye Xiao, "This is my sister, Jiang Miaoke, Coco, and this is Ye Xiao."

"You're Jiang Miaoke's brother?" Ye Xiao immediately smiled wryly. He knew that Jiang Miaoke was the granddaughter of the Jiang Family patriarch. So then, who was this Jiang Chuan? Could it be the grandson of the Jiang patriarch?

But why would a scion of the Jiang Family be driving for Xia Nanhai?

"Heh, yes!" Jiang Chuan grinned and said, "It's not that surprising, is it?"

"It is quite unexpected; I didn't think a young master of the Jiang family would actually become a driver for someone."

"Just kidding, the men of the Jiang family can't stay without making their own way in the world. Before that, they're not allowed to be useless and ignorant within the Jiang family," Jiang Chuan said, showing no signs of displeasure.

Just then, Jiang Miaoke chuckled and said to Ye Xiao and Jiang Chuan, "Brother, Grandpa and Uncle Xia are still waiting."

Hearing Jiang Miaoke's words, Jiang Chuan and Ye Xiao exchanged a smile and then immediately headed toward the most central and tallest villa in the Jiang estate, arriving in no time.

"Chuan!" As they reached the entrance, a middle-aged man addressed Jiang Chuan.

At that moment, standing with the middle-aged man was Xia Nanhai.

"Dad!" Jiang Chuan walked over and said.

"Dad, why have you come out?" Seeing Jiang Zhongzheng and Xia Nanhai standing and laughing at the villa entrance, Jiang Miaoke curiously asked.

Jiang Zhongzheng, however, did not answer his daughter but turned his gaze toward Ye Xiao.

"You must be Ye Xiao," Jiang Zhongzheng said with a smile looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao replied, "Hello, I'm Ye Xiao."

Jiang Zhongzheng smiled casually and said, "Heroes indeed emerge from youths; it seems this saying is true. Come on in, our family's old master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ye Xiao, hearing Jiang Zhongzheng's words, nodded slightly and followed them into the villa, while Xia Nanhai had remained silent ever since Ye Xiao appeared, but he kept a pleasant smile the whole time.
