Chapter 343 Yang Jianye's Disdain
Chapter 343 Yang Jianye's Disdain
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang." Xu Damao's voice sounded a little anxious, coming quietly from behind Yang Jianye, as if it was a bit cautious.
After hearing the voice, Yang Jianye did not respond immediately. Instead, his body stiffened subconsciously and his brows furrowed, as if he was trying hard to suppress his inner irritation.
He quickly looked around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, searching every possible corner. After making sure that no one else was paying attention to this side, he slowly turned around.
He faced Xu Damao with a somewhat unhappy and questioning look on his face: "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that you should pretend you don't know me in the steel mill and don't get close to me?"
There was obvious anger in Yang Jianye's tone, and his eyes flashed with complex emotions, as if he regretted his cooperation with Xu Damao.
Xu Damao looked at Yang Jianye's nervous and vigilant appearance, and couldn't help but look down on his cautiousness.
But he knew that now was not the time to worry about these things, so he tried to make his tone sound calm: "Brother Yang, don't worry, it's working time now, everyone is busy working, no one will notice us."
As he spoke, he observed Yang Jianye's reaction, trying to find some room for easing the situation.
However, Yang Jianye did not relax as he wished. He stared at Xu Damao coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes:
"Aren't you a human?" This sentence hit Xu Damao's heart like a heavy hammer. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Xu Damao was somewhat at a loss for words by Yang Jianye's question. He felt as if he had been confused by Yang Jianye's words, as if he was being scolded.
He was secretly upset, knowing that he had once again violated the agreement with Yang Jianye. He knew that Yang Jianye was a strict and disciplined person, and this sudden interruption undoubtedly touched Yang Jianye's bottom line.
However, he also knew that arguing or explaining at this moment was futile and would only make the atmosphere more tense. So, he smiled awkwardly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but then quickly retracted it, as if trying to hide his inner panic.
He waved his hand gently, trying to ease the awkwardness in the air in this way, and said in a sincere tone:
"Brother Yang, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant... I have something important to do. Otherwise, how dare I disobey your orders? Don't worry, this is just the first time. It won't happen again."
Xu Damao's eyes were full of apology and assurance. He looked directly into Yang Jianye's eyes, hoping to get the other party's forgiveness.
Yang Jianye frowned slightly when he heard Xu Damao's explanation, but then he regained his composure. He walked behind the tree and waited for Xu Damao.
Seeing this, Xu Damao knew that Yang Jianye didn't care anymore, so he quickly stepped forward and followed him.
The two stood under the shade of a tree. Yang Jianye turned around and looked at Xu Damao, and got straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Although his voice was calm, his eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness. Seeing this, Xu Damao put away his previous playful smile and began to explain his purpose seriously.
"Brother Yang, I really tried my best today." Xu Damao took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and began to describe his experience today in detail.
"According to the plan we discussed yesterday, I went to find Liu Lan and tried to sow discord between her and He Yuzhu, thereby alienating the relationship between He Yuzhu and Director Li. However, when I brought up this topic, Liu Lan's reaction was beyond my expectations."
Xu Damao frowned, as if recalling the scene at that time, "She was stunned for a moment, then a vigilant expression appeared on her face, and then she interrupted me impatiently, saying that it had nothing to do with her and asked me not to meddle in other people's business.
I tried to guide her further, but she never responded to my question and always changed the subject. "
Yang Jianye's brows gradually furrowed as he listened to Xu Damao's narration. He didn't expect Xu Damao to fail to handle such a small matter, which made him a little disappointed. He looked at Xu Damao, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but then he hid it.
Xu Damao noticed the change in Yang Jianye's eyes, and he couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved. He felt that he had tried his best, but the result was not satisfactory. He tried to defend himself:
"Brother Yang, I have really tried my best. Liu Lan seems to be very sensitive about this matter. I..."
Yang Jianye raised his hand to interrupt Xu Damao. He took a deep breath, looked at Xu Damao sharply, and asked in a deep voice:
"Tell me the exact conversation between you and Liu Lan, including every expression and movement of hers. Don't leave anything out."
Xu Damao was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. He felt that Yang Jianye was making things difficult for him, not thinking about how to solve the problem, but asking him to recall the details.
Although he had some complaints in his heart, facing Yang Jianye's serious expression, he knew that he could not resist at this moment.
Xu Damao sighed softly and began to try to recall his conversation with Liu Lan. He frowned, as if trying to search for fragments of memory, and then slowly told the story.
As he spoke, he gestured Liu Lan's movements and expressions at that time, as if the scene was right in front of him. Yang Jianye listened very seriously, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the expression on his face became more and more weird.
After Xu Damao finally finished speaking, Yang Jianye fell into a brief silence. His eyes stayed on Xu Damao for a moment, with a complex emotion - it was a look of disappointment and helplessness.
He shook his head slightly, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking his original choice.
"Xu Damao, Xu Damao, you really are..." Yang Jianye sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Forget it, this matter can't be entirely blamed on you. It seems that we have to reconsider our plan."
He muttered to himself that Xu Damao didn't even notice Liu Lan's obvious expression and attitude.
Although he was not at the scene, he could feel from Xu Damao's description that Liu Lan had already known the news and had her own plans. This made Yang Jianye seriously doubt Xu Damao's ability.
Xu Damao looked at Yang Jianye's complicated expression and felt a little uneasy. He scratched his head and tried to read something from Yang Jianye's expression: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Yang Jianye looked at Xu Damao's bewildered expression with a frown on his face. The dissatisfaction in his heart was like a surging wave that was difficult to calm down.
He took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calm, but there was still some sarcasm and mockery in his words that was difficult to conceal: "No, you are absolutely right, don't say it again in the future."
