Chapter 237 Going Downstairs to Pick Up Someone

The interview time was confirmed a week later, but Duan Yiheng was so busy that he forgot to tell Lin Xi about it.

The day before the show's recording, the production crew came to the Yinfan Group's office building to take an official announcement photo of Duan Yiheng.

As for the setting, Duan Yiheng's office contained many important documents, so the reading area of ​​the internal library was ultimately chosen as the backdrop for the live interview.

The live broadcast took place on a Friday, and the program "In-Depth Dialogue" officially announced the participants and the time.

The name Duan Yiheng has been frequently appearing in the news recently, and many people are familiar with him.

But regarding his relationship with Lin Xi, everyone is just observing the gossip.

He forgot about it as soon as he ate it, and no photos of him and Lin Xi have surfaced online.

So as soon as the official Weibo account of the show released the photos of the elite members, netizens who appreciate good looks flocked to the event.

"No, nobody told me that the successor to Silver Sail would be so handsome and young?"

"Not only that, there's also money."

"I always imagined him as a short, stocky businessman with a big belly."

"Don't be ridiculous, sister, she's only thirty years old."

"He took power at the age of thirty? Such a large corporation, are you kidding me?"

"Didn't you catch the drama the other day? It was a father-son feud, and Little Duan won."

"Holy crap! My role model, we're both thirty, and I got yelled at last night for ordering barbecue in the middle of the night."

"Fellow traveler, fellow traveler! What's wrong with one more rich person like me in this world?"

There are plenty of rich people in this world, but people this handsome are rare.

"My seventh aunt's son's girlfriend's best friend works at Yinfan. According to inside information, being tall, rich, and handsome is just the basic requirement for their boss, Mr. Duan, and he's also very faithful."

"With his sister? The one who was trending on social media a while ago?"

"It's her, and she's the adopted daughter of the Duan family."

"Damn, I've imagined a modern romance novel in my mind, and it's strangely kind of 'love at first sight'."

"I absolutely have to taste the saltiness during the live interview."

"It doesn't start until 8 PM, why not now? I can't wait, mainly because he's so handsome, it's killing me."

"..."

At 6 p.m., Duan Yiheng was to have dinner with the program crew in the company cafeteria.

He called Lin Xi as soon as he got off work, and glanced at Chen Xin sideways: "Why didn't you remind me?"

Chen Xin: "..."

You two sleep in the same bed every day, and he thought Manager Lin already knew.

Little did they know that Mr. Duan had forgotten in his busy schedule.

Lin Xi had just stepped out of her office when she suddenly received a call from Duan Yiheng asking her to go to headquarters.

"Aren't you going back?" Lin Xi had called Qin Yang that morning to subtly inquire, and he was able to leave work normally today.

Duan Yiheng paused for a moment and said, "I have an on-camera interview tonight. I told you before that I'm going to have dinner with the production crew later. Would you like to come along?"

Lin Xi: "...Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was so busy I forgot." Duan Yiheng glanced at his watch. "Should I have the driver pick you up?"

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment: "The interview is also important business. Should I go? Or should I go back and wait for you?"

"No way." Duan Yiheng refused decisively. "Since you joined the sales department, we haven't had a proper meal together for almost half a month. Come over tonight and have dinner with me."

Lin Xi thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

She left two hours earlier than Duan Yiheng. Neither of them came back at noon. In the evening, she worked overtime while he had social engagements. They were so tired that they didn't want to say a word and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

In the afternoon, she was still thinking that it was the weekend tomorrow, and she wondered if Duan Yiheng would be free.

"I'll drive myself," Lin Xi decided. "Where are you eating?"

"It's in one of the company's highest-class restaurants."

"Then I'll go straight to the restaurant. Who will be there?"

"Chen Xin and the head of the public relations department will be there, along with the program's producer, host, and director."

Lin Xi responded and drove straight to headquarters.

After Chen Xin finished his call, he said, "The production crew has arrived. I've had someone take them directly to the restaurant."

Duan Yiheng stood up: "Let's go over there too."

There was some distance between the office building and the restaurant, but Duan Yiheng wasn't in a hurry, since it would take Lin Xi some time to get there as well.

However, we still need to inform the production team that they have been arranged to sit in a large private room on the third floor.

Upon seeing Duan Yiheng, the host and producer stood up simultaneously, exchanged greetings, and Duan Yiheng said, "Sit down, there's no need for so many formalities."

The producer's surname is Zhao, and the host's name is Zhong Li. Both of them had a very good first impression of Duan Yiheng.

"Have the others been arranged?" Duan Yiheng asked Chen Xin.

Chen Xin said, "The rest of the production crew will have their meals on the first floor."

Duan Yiheng nodded, then turned to those present and said, "Sorry, it may take a little longer, there is still one person who has not arrived."

Zhong Li is a host, and she has a very keen eye for detail.

Duan Yiheng gives off a cold and aloof feeling at first glance, but he tries his best to appear approachable when greeting people.

But the words he just said were filled with tenderness and affection, and even the smile in his eyes was tinged with a sticky sweetness.

Zhong Li smiled slightly: "Excuse me, are you Miss Lin?"

Duan Yiheng gave a faint smile: "Yes, I've been quite busy lately, so let's take this opportunity to have a meal together."

"That would be an honor," Zhong Li said with a smile. "I wonder if Ms. Lin could make an appearance during the interview?"

Duan Yiheng smiled slightly and declined, "I'm sorry."

Zhong Li understood: "I crossed the line."

She's just giving it a try; if she succeeds, the show's popularity will undoubtedly reach new heights.

Producer Zhao smiled and said, "Actually, based on the interview outline we discussed in the early stages, the matter between President Duan and Ms. Lin will inevitably be asked. If Ms. Lin could appear on camera, the effect might be even better."

“Producer Zhao, you’ve discussed this issue with my secretary before,” Duan Yiheng said. “The focus of this interview isn’t on my personal relationship. It’s just that the news about it was making headlines recently, which is why I agreed to clarify my attitude towards my partner in this live interview.”

This was a clear rejection. Producer Zhao smiled and said he had offended him.

Zhong Li's professional background ensured the atmosphere wouldn't become dull; she also had high emotional intelligence, and after speaking to the producer, she briefly exchanged a few words with Duan Yiheng.

Duan Yiheng was obliging; his phone vibrated around six o'clock.

It was a message from Lin Xi, asking which restaurant he was at.

Duan Yiheng gave Chen Xin a look, then stood up and said, "Sorry, you guys talk first, I'm going downstairs to pick someone up."

It wouldn't be appropriate for them to just sit there and do nothing, since Duan Yiheng had to handle everything personally.

Just as Producer Zhao was about to get up, Chen Xin stopped him: "Please sit down. Manager Lin will be coming up later, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know him."

Producer Zhao sat back down, and Zhong Li chatted casually with the head of the public relations department for a few minutes.

About five or six minutes later, there was a noise at the door.

The other people in the private room stood up one after another, and Duan Yiheng put his arm around Lin Xi's waist and entered the private room.

Just as Lin Xi was about to speak, she was startled by the several people standing in the private room staring at her.
