Translator: Sissy That Walk
"Shall I postpone the reservation for tonight?" asked Wang Boyi, seeing Di Qiuhe frowned.
"Nah, it should be fine." Di Qiuhe shook his head, then he continued, "If I'm finishing late tonight, please ask the restaurant to delivery their signature cuisines for him in case he skipped dinner if he is eating alone."
Wang Boyi nodded in agreement, his phone rang when he was just about to turn around to get Di Qiuhe some snacks, he took a look at the screen, the caller was Di Bian who had not contacted him for a long while.
He halted his steps, and showed Di Qiuhe the phone.
Di Qiuhe shot a sideways look, his relaxing expression now turned a bit serious, and he said, "I suppose he is just prying into my personal life from you, as he can test my attitude towards him and Huangdu. No need to worry about it, you can put him through and put him on speaker."
Wang Boyi tapped the screen and put Di Bian on speaker.
"Hi, Wang, how are you? Are you with Qiuhe now?" Di Bian sounded surprisingly nice on the phone, quite different from the bossy arrogant attitude he used to show.
Di Qiuhe sat on the sofa casually, he was ready for some fun while thumbing through a magazine.
Wang Boyi sat across Di Qiuhe so Di Qiuhe could hear the whole conversation clearly, he quickly got into acting mode, "Young master is working today, he is not around me at the moment. What can I do for you, Mr. Di?"
Di Bian was rather satisfied seeing how respectful Wang Boyi was, his tone turned soft and he continued his question, "What kind of work Qiuhe is booked today, is it related to Fan Da? How has he been lately, has he been avoiding you or keeping you in the dark recently? Has Assistant An been in touch with you, is she still working for Qin Li?"
Di Qiuhe curled his lips, his face turned indifferent.
Wang Boyi shot a look at Di Qiuhe, and he replied, "No, young master trusts me lots, he has never avoided me. Today he is shooting an commercial for a watch brand, I believe it has nothing to do with Fan Da. Assistant An has been so quiet lately, she hasn't done anything suspicious."
"Is that so..." Di Bian responded lightly, then his tone turned harsh, "No that Di Qiuhe has never avoided you, why haven't you informed me in advance that Fan Da has come back? Hu Zhao has betrayed me after working for me for several decades, he is now working for Fan. How do i supposed to have faith and trust in you, who has merely worked for me for several years?"
Wang Boyi was startled, he looked at Di Qiuhe.
Di Qiuhe who was thumbing through a magazine now halted his motion, he thought for a few seconds and looked at the screen then he slightly waved his hand to Wang Boyi, meaning Wang Boyi could just improvise on this one. He thought it was no big deal even though Di Bian saw through them, they were not intimated by him at this point.
Wang Boyi was now a little bit relaxed on receiving Di Qiuhe's signal, he recalled what Xing Shaofeng once taught him, then he put on a good show, "Mr. Di, you have to pardon me on this one, for I had no clue what young master's mother's family is until very recently, and you had not reminded me on Mr. Fan, so I admit I wasn't fully prepared and haven't paid much attention on Mr. Fan... but according to my observation, young master is very occupied for he is busy shooting for his new movie either in the border province or overseas, he has no time to reach anyone. So I think Fan Da hasn't contacted young master, he is just fully prepared and he's done a lot of research on young master and Di family."
This was a great lesson from Xing Shaofeng, "deny not, just divert, and always end the conversation with a topic that's going to distract the other party."
Silence from the other side of the phone, seemed like Di Bian was in deep thoughts. After a little while, Di Bian showed complete trust again and asked, "So what you are saying is Fan Da and Di Qiuhe haven't met yet?"
Seeing his strategy worked, Fan Da let out a sigh of relief in the heart, "I believe so, at least they had not met each other before young master returned to B City, he gave me a one week leave after he came back, if anything, young master may had contact during that week I was on leave."
Di Bian was calculating the date of Fan Da took over Da Ze, he thought he had it all figured, then he continued, "Thank you for letting me know, on that case, has Qiuhe done something he normally doesn't normally do lately, say, contacting lawyers and brokers?"
"Hmm, was Di Bian thinking Mr. Fan has transferred a large sum of money to young master", thought Wang Boyi.
Wang Boyi shot a look at Di Qiuhe who was still thumbing through the magazine, he paused a bit then replied, "No, the only update is young master appointed a new drive... Mr. Di, I think Fan Da is now watching out the people who have been working for young master before he came back, like me and Assistant An, young master was possibly instructed to train his own staff."
