"Yes, I guess so," Xiao Yichen replied, not intending to provide further details.
"An employee of the headquarters or the branch company under the Eastern Empire?" Xu Yanxi persisted in her questioning.
"Yes," Xiao Yichen confirmed.
Inwardly, Xu Yanxi pondered, "Yichen seems to have no knowledge of the basic staff at the headquarters. How can he possibly know employees at his branch company?"
Xu Yanxi decided to give up after becoming perplexed by the situation.
After their meal, Xiao Yichen dropped Xu Yanxi off at her place. During the ride, he looked ahead and inquired, "Yanxi, what are your plans for the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow?" Xu Yanxi repeated, thinking momentarily before responding, "I should be free."
"On that day, I'd like to treat you to lunch. I have something important to tell you," Xiao Yichen explained.
