Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Best Substitute (5) - Third Update

Only after the middle-aged man approached did he realize something was amiss. He glanced at Zhao Yijun and suddenly discovered that although this lady resembled the one Liao Yizhou had brought out a few days ago, there were still some differences.

He looked at Liao Yizhou’s somber face, realizing he had misspoken, his heart skipped a beat.

"CEO Liao, you see, I’ve drunk so much tonight, I actually mistook someone else for her, I’m really sorry!" He looked at Liao Yizhou’s face, which was showing unpredictable emotions, and vanished in a puff of smoke from his sight.

Yi Xian and Pu Zhehan seemed to have also noticed the situation here.

They hurried over to smooth things over.

"The new financial elite, with dual master’s degrees, look at the title Global Finance has given you," Yi Xian gripped Zhao Yijun’s arm, exaggeratingly said, "Yijun, you are indeed still that Top Student. I’m such a slacker compared to you, I simply can’t compete. Yizhou, you’ve always said we don’t understand your vision, but weren’t you having a delightful conversation with Yijun just now? I really haven’t seen a girl more impressive than Yijun."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yijun smiled, somewhat proudly.

To achieve such a result was indeed rare.

Zhao Yijun had always been the benchmark child in the eyes of these people’s parents as she grew up, including Pu Zhehan, who, to a greater or lesser extent, all admired her.

Liao Yizhou very gentlemanly escorted her back, and after Zhao Yijun returned to her room and closed the door, she received a phone call from home, "Yijun, get along well with CEO Liao. Dad remembers you were classmates before, and when you have time, bring him home for dinner."

Even her father, who had previously looked down on Liao Yizhou, was now addressing him as CEO Liao, and Zhao Yijun’s eyes shone even more brilliantly.

But the smile she had raised in Liao Yizhou’s presence finally sank.

Her two hands clasped tightly together. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

So, Liao Yizhou had already brought that stand-in to meet with business associates.

Although it was just her stand-in, she felt somewhat irked.

Luckily, a stand-in is still just a stand-in. Zhao Yijun focused slightly, and now that the real person was back, it was time for the stand-in to step aside.

Meanwhile, Liao Yizhou had returned home. He had thought that seeing Zhao Yijun, whom he had been unable to forget, would leave him too excited to sleep, but that was not the case.

Zhao Yijun was no longer the naive girl he remembered. Every action and word of hers seemed calculated, familiar yet alien.

Liao Yizhou looked at the documents before him, which included a recent finance case that had been coordinated with Fenghua Group, and which he had discussed with Zhao Yijun.

Only, Zhao Yijun had gotten one detail wrong.

He had gotten somewhat used to Ye Shaohua occasionally pointing out a few issues for him, her insights sharp and accurate. Liao Yizhou couldn’t help thinking that if Ye Shaohua were here right now, she would have identified the issue, and faster than him.

At that thought, Liao Yizhou was startled. Why was he thinking of Ye Shaohua?

Now that Zhao Yijun was back, he shouldn’t be thinking about her anymore. That would be too unfair to Zhao Yijun.

The advice of Yi Xian and the others lingered in his mind; it seemed, indeed, he couldn’t wait any longer.
