Chapter 653: Chapter 653: I heard the two of you have been dating recently? Congratulations
He seemed very interested in the question, so the two congressmen’s debate became even more intense.
“… In these years, with the economy on a downturn, a cut in bank interest rates is inevitably on the cards.”
“… Economic regulation measures can be used, but not the way you use them. If we really do it your way, the country will be in chaos.”
“… But if we do nothing, the situation will only get worse.”
“… There’s always a solution, but what you’re doing is definitely not going to work!”
Neither of them could convince the other, so they turned their eyes to He Jingyao, “Mr. He, with your broad view of the situation, what do you think?”
He Jingyao’s eyes shone slightly before he finally spoke, “I think… both of you make valid points, but regardless of what you both think, our President has his own ideas.”
The two looked at each other, at a loss for words.
Although the current President Zhuo Yuwei has been in office for less than a year, his tactics are quite tough. To put it bluntly, he is autocratic. It’s said that one of Zhuo’s favorite books is Machiavelli’s The Prince, and he subscribes to the autocratic doctrine.
“Take your time, gentlemen, I see a friend over there and I’ll go say hello.” He Jingyao smiled faintly and turned to walk away.
Finally finding some space around him, the women who were originally prepared to approach started hesitating.
There was a simple reason… the man’s presence was just too powerful, and his cool, distant demeanor naturally formed a barrier that was intimidating.
Hence, the ladies of the banquet hall could only watch him head toward the long table…
Following He Jingyao’s direction, they let out a sigh of regret and envy.
That was none other than Duke Leslie’s daughter. No wonder he went to greet her.
Ning Yichen watched as He Jingyao took steps closer, and the hand that was originally on Zhixi’s shoulder involuntarily withdrew.
Although the man’s expression was calm and his gaze was extremely cool, Ning Yichen somehow felt a sense of pressure…
“How are you feeling now?” he asked in a lowered voice.
Zhixi still leaned on his shoulder, eyes closed, gently shaking her head.
Seeing this, Ning Yichen had no choice but to continue offering his shoulder to her under He Jingyao’s chilly gaze…
Soon, He Jingyao arrived in front of him, lifted his glass to him, and said in a light tone, “I heard from Uncle Li that you were looking for me?”
As soon as he finished talking, Ning Yichen felt the woman beside him tremble hard.
Ning Yichen calmly replied, “Yes.”
“Heh…” He Jingyao chuckled low, “Where did you get Uncle Li’s phone number?”
“That…” Ning Yichen thought for a moment but did not betray Su Zixi, “Just asked around and got it.”
“What do you need from me?” He Jingyao smiled, his eyes quickly sweeping over Zhixi, so fast that it seemed like an illusion to an outsider.
“This isn’t a good place to talk…” Ning Yichen glanced around to make sure no one overheard their conversation before continuing, “Let’s meet at the Four Seasons tomorrow night.”
He Jingyao nodded, then suddenly changed the subject, “Your companion seems to be feeling unwell?”
Ning Yichen gave a dry laugh, “She’s…”
“Mm, I know she’s Miss Gu.” He Jingyao’s tone carried a hint of amusement, “I heard the two of you have been dating recently? Congratulations.”
