Chapter 106: Identity Confirmed! (Arav Edition)
Agle din, Meng Xue aur baaki sab ko bhej dene ke baad, Arav (Original: Ye Feng) apni revision par focus karta raha. Uss subah, woh villa mein padh raha tha. Achank, usse Tang Youde ka phone aaya, jo Silver Brilliance Building ke Real Estate Department ka manager tha.
Tang Youde ne Arav se bahut fawning (khushamad) tone mein pucha, “Mr. Arav (Original: Mr. Ye), Dong’an Securities aaj apna rent de rahe hain. Kya aap khud aakar isse settle karna chahenge?”.
Arav (Original: Ye Feng) confuse ho gaya aur pucha, “Main kyun jaaun?”.
Tang Youde ne gehre matlab ke saath kaha, “Aapki woh lady... Kya aapki girlfriend Dong’an Securities mein kaam nahi karti? Pichli baar, maine dekha tha ki aap dono ke beech koi misunderstanding thi, isliye maine socha ki aap isse suljha sakte hain,”.
Arav (Original: Ye Feng) janta tha ki woh Xu Man ke baare mein baat kar raha tha. Usne gusse se snort kiya (gusse mein aawaz nikaali) aur kaha, “Woh mera business hai. Iska aapse kya lena dena hai?”.
Yeh sunkar Tang Youde ko thanda paseena (cold sweat) aa gaya. Usne socha ki usne shayad sahi baat pakad li hai (hit the nail on the head).
Tang Youde ne maafi maangi, “Mr. Arav (Original: Mr. Ye), main galat tha. Main kisi aur ko bhejne ka intezaam karta hoon,” aur woh phone rakhne hi wala tha.
Lekin iss waqt, Arav (Original: Ye Feng) ne kaha, “Kya maine kaha ki main nahi jaa raha?”.
Tang Youde ne hairani se apne phone ko dekha. Usne socha ki Mr. Arav (Original: Mr. Ye) ka dimag samajhna bahut mushkil hai.
Jab Arav (Original: Ye Feng) Silver Brilliance Building pahuncha, toh Tang Youde already apne ek aadmi ke saath uska intezaar kar raha tha.
Tang Youde ne turant saare documents Arav (Original: Ye Feng) ko de diye: “Mr. Arav (Original: Mr. Ye), yeh Dong’an Securities ka lease contract aur payment notice hai…”.
Arav ne time waste nahi kiya aur seedhe un dono ko Dong’an Securities ki taraf le gaya.
Lekin, front desk par unhe rok diya gaya. Jab Arav ne pucha, “Xu Man kahan hai? Main uska dost hoon, tum use phone kar sakti ho,” tab bhi front desk lady ne mana kar diya. Usne bataya ki Manager Xu ek distinguished guest ke saath inspection mein busy hai aur unke paas Arav ke liye time nahi hai.
Jab usne Arav (Original: Ye Feng) ko bhi ijjat nahi di, toh Tang Youde bahut gusse mein aa gaya.
Jab dono parties argue kar rahi thi, achanak ek aadmi ne pucha, “Kya hua?”. Arav (Original: Ye Feng) ghuma aur dekha ki ek middle-aged man jiski aura extraordinary thi, uski taraf aa raha tha. Woh aadmi Guo Huailiang, Dong’an Securities ka chairman tha.
Guo Huailiang ne Arav (Original: Ye Feng) se polite tareeke se sir hilaya aur maafi maangi ki woh abhi nahi mil sakte kyunki woh ek distinguished guest ko receive kar rahe hain. Arav ne naturally zyada kuch nahi bola.
Lekin jaise hi Arav Tang Youde ke saath nikalne wala tha, usne achanak ek jaani pehchaani aawaz suni: “Kya yeh Chhota Arav (Original: Xiao Feng) nahi hai? Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?”.
Arav (Original: Ye Feng) ghuma aur hairan reh gaya. Woh Pony Ma tha, jisse usne kaafi time se nahi dekha tha. Arav ne garmi se usse greet kiya, “Bhai Pony (Original: Brother Pony), aap yahan kyun hain?”.
Pony Ma ne josh se Arav ke kandhe par thapki di.
Arav aur Pony Ma ko itna enthusiastic dekhkar, Guo Huailiang, Xu Man, aur Huang Bin sab puri tarah se stunned reh gaye. Unhone dekha ki Pony Ma jo unke saamne big shot ki tarah rehte the, woh Arav (Original: Ye Feng) ke saamne bilkul 'big brother next door' ki tarah friendly the.
Xu Man, specially, puri tarah se dang reh gayi. Usne socha ki Arav (Original: Ye Feng) itne bade shot jaise Pony Ma ko kab se janne laga?
Pony Ma ne Arav ki taraf curious hokar dekha, “Tumne abhi tak bataya nahi. Tum yahan kyun ho?”.
Arav (Original: Ye Feng) ne awkward smile ke saath jawab diya, “Yeh building mere naam ki property (asset) hai, main yahan rent collect karne aaya hoon aur ek dost se kuch discuss karne bhi.”
Baat karte hue usne Xu Man ki taraf dekha. Pony Ma bhi Xu Man ko dekhkar turant samajh gaya aur bola, “Hahaha, ab main samjha.”
Pony Ma ne Dong’an Securities ke chairman Guo Huailiang se kaha ki woh acquisition ke baare mein Board of Directors se discuss karenge. Lekin, usne Xu Man ko zimmedari di ki woh follow-up development ke liye unse contact kare. Pony Ma ke in shabdon se, Xu Man ki company mein position turant badh gayi.
Sabhi senior executives ko yeh clear tha ki Pony Ma ne yeh sab sirf Arav (Original: Ye Feng) ki wajah se kiya tha. Unke liye, Arav ki position Pony Ma ke dil mein unki soch se kahin zyada important thi.
Lekin, Xu Man khush nahi thi. Uske liye Arav (Original: Ye Feng) se 'break up' karna aasan nahi tha. Iss incident ke baad, uski identity as ‘Arav ki girlfriend’ (Original: Ye Feng's girlfriend) confirm hone waali thi.
