C96 Dinner

The past few days that Jiang Tao had investigated at Lin Nan Branch Office, she found out what happened at the main branch office today through Su Bei. Otherwise, she would have been delayed by two more days. Conversely, Su Bei had grasped Jiang Tao's movements and had also experienced today's grievous news. To a certain extent, he was even more knowledgeable than Liu Hanyan on the situation.

"Su Bei, I was just about to ask you why Director Jiang went to Linnan on business last week. She told you why you never mentioned it to me?"

With her elbows on the table, Liu Hanyan looked at him coldly. A woman's sense of smell was extremely sharp, even a cold-blooded strong woman like Liu Hanyan. Now that she thought about it, it was indeed strange. Jiang Tao was her subordinate, and Su Bei was her bodyguard, why did Jiang Tao work for the company and not ask for instructions from him?

Especially when Su Bei walked into the office a moment ago, the happiness revealed from the corners of his eyes had long been noticed by Liu Hanyan, and thinking about how the two of them had traveled alone for a long time, Liu Hanyan started to suspect.

If it was in the past, Liu Hanyan would definitely think that Jiang Tao was this arrogant, and would definitely not look down on Su Bei, but the charming image of Zhou Mann just now was still lingering in her mind, and even Chen Xuefei, the spokesperson for the White Hibiscus, had some sort of relationship with Su Bei that she did not know about.

Zhou Mann, who was preparing to help Su Bei carry the takeout, was also startled. At first, she didn't think that anything was wrong, but when she saw that Liu Hanyan had flipped over the big jar of vinegar, she also looked towards Su Bei with suspicion.

"Ahem, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat first." Su Bei placed the take-out dishes on the table and spread them out one by one. "I have already comforted Lin Wanqing for the time being, and she will reject all chances to contact the media in the next few days. He will be taking care of us at home for two days, so let's quickly come up with a solution and an answer."

Liu Hanyan interlaced her fingers, and continued to sneer: "Whatever solution you have, will be up to you."

"I feel like, aiyo … Secretary Zhou, you stepped on my foot. " Su Bei trembled from the pain.

Zhou Mann's face immediately flushed red. She wanted to remind Su Bei that the chairman had said something in anger, why would you take it as the truth? We were just employees, you drove, I poured tea for you, and it should have been Jiang Tao who suggested the solution. Unexpectedly, Su Bei really did not understand the situation, and actually said out his hint, she could only shut the door, acting as if nothing had happened.

"Let's eat first. It'll get cold in a while."

Su Bei opened all the lunchboxes. Since he was the one who had invited Lin Wanqing for this meal, it wasn't too shabby, and he had Michelin's chef make two servings of course, but this also included Zhou Mann and Jiang Tao. In fact, he was the one who called Jiang Tao back from Linnan City.

"You guys go ahead and eat. I'm not hungry. Hurry up and finish eating so we can talk about work." Liu Hanyan turned her head and looked out the window awkwardly. If she only ate with Jiang Tao, it would not be a problem to eat alone with him. However, the three of them eating together with Su Bei felt weird, and her heart was clogged up.

Zhou Mann had never planned to eat them in the first place, she had only eaten with Liu Hanyan once at the same table. However, when the fragrance of the food wafted up to her nose, she could not help but swallow her saliva. So far this morning, only one loaf of bread has been eaten for lunch.

But now that the chairman wasn't going to eat it, how could he sit down and awkwardly stand to the side?

Only then did Jiang Tao, who was wholeheartedly reporting her work, realize that the atmosphere was not right. She immediately put down the chopsticks with a blush.

Su Bei gobbled up a few mouthfuls of food, completely unaware of their awkwardness. In one hand, he held the information Jiang Tao had brought back from Linnan, and looked at it once again while smacking his lips.

"You didn't eat at the hotel?" Liu Hanyan was even more angry now. I'm still hungry, yet you can still eat so much after eating two meals.

When Su Bei looked up, he realized that none of them were eating right now, "Eating outside is the same as eating here, don't mention it. Just chatting with Lin Wanqing and that fierce manager is enough.

"Chairman, you should eat something first. Otherwise, how can you have the strength to work?" Zhou Mann was the first one to open up the situation, she was working while standing, and Liu Hanyan was sitting, so it was natural that she would be more tired.

Liu Hanyan also wanted to eat, she was in so much trouble that she couldn't bring herself to do so, since the secretary said so, she might as well take advantage of the situation, and said with a straight face: "Alright, you guys can put down your work and eat some food, Jiang Tao will also have some to eat, it has been hard for you to come to Lin Nan for so long."

The chairman, secretary, and director were the objects that countless men admired in this building. However, a few minutes later, the entire table of food was swept clean by the wind. Even Su Bei was shocked. He ate with Liu Hanyan everyday, but he never realized that she was so good at it. As for the other two, they had simply forgotten about their appearance. They were completely inconsistent with the temperament and cultivation they usually displayed, so Su Bei thought in his heart that a woman could pretend to be a woman.

Jiang Tao and Su Bei liked each other, but they couldn't be together. She knew that Su Bei had a wife, and Zhou Mann had a crush on Su Bei, but she knew that the person Su Bei really liked was Liu Hanyan. If there was a day when Zhou Mann and Zhou Mann were sitting together like the conversation just now, based on this useful information, they would probably be able to determine immediately that their chairman, Liu Hanyan, was the wife that Su Bei was referring to.

After eating their fill, Liu Hanyan and Jiang Tao immediately entered a state of madness, and started to concentrate on studying the materials. After all, Su Bei and Zhou Mann were not professionals, they could only sit in the outer room and peek in occasionally. Zhou Mann quietly poured tea or coffee for them, and when she came out, she helped Su Bei refill her cup.

Two hours later, it was already midnight. Liu Hanyan stretched lazily, coughed twice, and inadvertently reminded Su Bei to come in.

"Just now Zhao Dehai sent me a message that there are well-informed peddlers in the outside world. When they heard that Liu Group is going to buy back the White Hibiscus's cosmetics that have been sold, they actually took action before the employees of the marketing department left. However, this is also a good thing that these peddlers know more about the situation than we do, and the products purchased by various means exceed our expectations. Jiang Tao, what's the name of the person Zhao Dehai mentioned just now? "

"It's someone called Brother Long. He already has over 300,000 yuan worth of goods in his possession." Our poor quality White Hibiscus products are at the Jianghai City Arena, and we've only lost around 500,000 yuan. If we could repurchase the goods from this person's hands, I believe we'll all be able to breathe a sigh of relief. "

Seeing Liu Hanyan's burning gaze, Su Bei knew that she, this little fox, did not have any good intentions.

"Su Bei, I still have to discuss about the follow-up to White Hibiscus with Director Jiang. When we get back, I will be staring at Zhao Dehai who is buying back the other hundred thousand or so goods. This Brother Long sounds like a social person, I will give you some money, how about you buy them back?"

"It can be, but …"

"Alright, even if you agree, there's nothing to be afraid of. We'll do it tomorrow morning."

Jiang Tao was afraid that Su Bei would object, so she stood up and coughed lightly: "Mr Su, I was supposed to take responsibility for the purchase of the new product, and since it was the first big project since I accepted the Operational Department, such a thing happened, I also blame myself, so I hope you could send more letters."

"I'll do my best, it shouldn't be difficult to buy back the product. Moreover, on the other side, there is also the public figure of Lin Wanqing. It is only a coincidence that one of them has been disfigured, and if there are three or five of them who can be solved through the use of public relations, if there are more than ten or even dozens of them, coupled with the fact that there are people backing them up, stirring up up trouble, and fanning the flames, this matter will still become a disaster. "

Liu Hanyan frowned: "Of course I know, for now we can only minimize the damage to the consumer. If the health and safety authorities were to investigate the Liu Group, we can consider whether or not we should provide the police with any clues. We should secretly cause problems for the people, formulate a prescription, and respond truthfully to the matter of the poison being administered to the stored products. "These things will happen in at least a few days …"

"In a few days, I will be leaving the Jianghai."

Just as Liu Hanyan was talking non-stop, one sentence from Su Bei made the entire office fall into silence. The three of them knew that Su Bei was a soldier, being his bodyguard was only temporary, but he had to leave now was not the time. Furthermore, every one of them had an unspeakable relationship with him, and when they suddenly heard that a person was about to leave the city, their hearts were filled with idle chatter.

Liu Hanyan looked at him in shock. Didn't he say that as her own husband, she wouldn't be able to endure her harsh methods? If she wanted to return to the army, what would he tell her sister?

"Su Bei, now is not the time for you to joke, if …" "If you think I'm usually too strict with you, I can change that. Of course, if you think your welfare is not good enough, I'll immediately give you a raise …"

Liu Hanyan panicked, during this period of time, everyone had witnessed Su Bei's help with the Liu Group, and during this period of time, the company could not leave him. Moreover, after living together for two months, protecting himself, driving a car, cooking for himself, and even making a bed, no matter how hard Liu Hanyan was, how could she not be moved at all?

Su Bei looked at them in shock. He knew it was a misunderstanding and quickly corrected them: "I said that I was on a temporary mission. In short, I promised my friends that I would go out for a trip. Actually, there was no yesterday's incident. I also planned to leave tomorrow. "

Zhou Mann carefully looked at Su Bei's expression. He isn't a man who knows how to lie, but since you told me before that you wouldn't leave Liu Hanyan. Why did you leave him at such an important moment?

After knowing that Su Bei had not truly left, Liu Hanyan heaved a sigh of relief, but immediately became angry. Of course she knew in her heart, the friend that Su Bei was talking about was definitely Chen Xuefei. He actually abandoned her to help him with some matters just for a little widow.
