Huo Chang Yuan's pupils contracted, as if he was determining whether what he saw was real or not.
However, when he walked closer, he quickly returned to normal.
After all, there were still staff members from different departments in the company watching from the side of the meeting room. Huo Chang Yuan still maintained his meticulous leadership attitude, with his thin lips slightly moving, he symbolically extended his hand out, "Director Rong!"
"Hutong, my apologies for the long wait!" Huo Rong raised her eyebrows, followed his line of sight, and smiled as she turned slightly to the side, introducing, "These two are Secretary Li from our company and Miss Lin from the Market Development Department."
Secretary Li immediately came forward and shook hands with Huo Chang Yuan.
When it was Lin Wan Bai's turn to speak, Huo Chang Yuan's face did not show any change, but when she retracted her hand, the corners of her mouth tightly knitted together.
So painful …
Lin Wan Bai put his hands behind his back, and felt as if his fingers were about to break.
After sneaking a glance at the fierceness in Huo Chang Yuan's eyes, she shrunk his shoulders and felt chills down her spine.
Wuu wuu, so terrifying!
She followed Huo Rong and Secretary Li, and sat down next to each other. After a simple opening speech, the shutters were closed, and the projection on the wall was lit up. The meeting officially began.
Huo Chang Yuan was still wearing his black suit and tie, with a pen in hand. There was a cup of coffee by his side, but he had not drunk a single cup.
Lin Wan Bai had a few meetings with him, so he knew how he looked like when he was working, and how serious he was. It was just that today, he seemed to be lost in thought frequently, his pair of deep eyes always narrowing as he glanced at her from time to time.
With each glance, she winced in guilt.
When it was his turn to speak, he was still holding his pen, maintaining the same posture. Gradually, everyone revealed a puzzled expression.
"Cough!" Huo Rong reminded them.
Huo Chang Yuan then turned serious, and clenched his fist into a fist, letting out a cough at the corner of her lips, as he turned his head to look at the projection cloth, and earnestly moved her lips.
Under the quiet voice of the co-operative case, Lin Wan Bai lowered his head with a red face. Luckily, no one was looking at her.
After more than two hours of the meeting, since it was a cooperative investment proposal, there was still room to eat by the evening. The large box was filled with people, and the waiters were serving the dishes.
When Lin Wan Bai entered, Huo Chang Yuan was already sitting there, with two empty seats beside him.
She walked over hesitantly, thinking that no one would notice.
Just as she was about to sit next to him, someone moved faster than her. Huo Rong sat down on her butt first and blinked at her. She was stunned and could only pull out another chair, while Huo Chang Yuan's face had already turned black.
Throughout the entire course of the meal, Huo Rong was smilingly sitting between the two of them.
"Come, everyone!" Huo Rong put down her chopsticks and took the initiative to stand up, "It's my honor to cooperate with your company, and I'm grateful for the host's friendship. Therefore, let me propose this first goblet of wine to you all.
"How could we allow Director Rong to respect us? It should be us expressing our welcome to your arrival!"
Huo Chang Yuan pouted, his tone had a deeper meaning, "Manager Wang is right, we welcome you very much!"
As they spoke, the people at the table all stood up with cups in their hands.
Seeing that, Lin Wan Bai immediately picked up the white wine cup in front of her. The waiter poured it full, and when she touched the cup, the liquid inside spilled out.
Huo Rong was almost pierced by the sword aura that Huo Chang Yuan shot over.
A second before her wine cup was about to reach her mouth, she hurriedly reached out and lied with a straight face, "Xiao Lin, you're allergic to alcohol, why don't you use tea instead! You are a girl, no one will blame you! "
"..." "Oh, yes!" Lin Wan Bai replied in a daze.
Putting down the white wine cup, he picked up the teacup beside him and drank half of it silently.
After clinking cups and sitting down, Huo Chang Yuan suddenly stood up and said, "Sorry, I'm going out to pick up a call!"
Everyone nodded their heads, still laughing. The tall figure had already reached the door.
"Why aren't you going?" Huo Rong kicked her under the table.
Lin Wan Bai stood up with a flushed face and unnaturally said, "Uh, then I'll go to the washroom …"
After leaving the room, she looked around the corridor for a long time, but she couldn't find Huo Chang Yuan's figure. She had clearly seen him take out his mobile phone, but now there was no one.
She had found an excuse to go to the washroom. Going back wasn't exactly the same, so she could only head towards the washroom. Along the way, she didn't bump into anyone, only the waiter carrying the dishes.
The bathroom sink was shared, with men and women on both sides.
When Lin Wan Bai just walked closer, a strong arm reached out from the male restroom.
With a low exclamation, she was dragged inside, her back pressed against the door, and then she heard the sound of the back door being locked.
He raised his head in panic. Indeed, it was Huo Chang Yuan's lowered face, and his sharp and clear facial features were approaching her. Even his eyelashes seemed to blink, and he had probably smoked a cigarette just now.
"Lin Wan Bai, how dare you! You actually dared to lie to me! "
Huo Chang Yuan placed one of his arms on the side of her head and all the muscles in his mouth bulged out.
Lin Wan Bai shrunk back, and timidly expressed, "Uh, I didn't do it on purpose …"
"You still dare to say that!" Huo Chang Yuan glared at her fiercely, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that your aunt bought your company? And this morning, when I called you, were you already on your way to Forest City? "
He already knew that Huo Rong had bought her company, so she intentionally kept a low profile so that she could hide this from others. Furthermore, it might not be an impromptu action, she had already thought of it beforehand, if not for that, last time when she left, she would not have brought up this collaboration investment case. The main issue was that she, as the person in the know, did not tell him, and had even concealed it from him!
No wonder she hesitated when she called during the day and ended up with her phone shut down!
At that time, he only thought that it was because there was no electricity that switched off on its own, so he didn't think too much about it. It was only when he saw her following Huo Rong inside the conference room, that he suddenly felt like they had teamed up and made fun of him.
Lin Wan Bai could only innocently repeat, "I really didn't do it on purpose …"
"It wasn't intentional?" Huo Chang Yuan scoffed.
"Mhmm!" Lin Wan Bai hurriedly nodded, afraid that he would not believe him, so he unrestrainedly betrayed Huo Rong and told him honestly, "It was my aunt who didn't let me say it, she said that she would fire me if I dared to tell you!"
"Are you going to listen to her like this?" Huo Chang Yuan gritted his teeth.
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips and whispered, "She's my leader now …"
Huo Chang Yuan glared at her, as though he was enraged, veins on his forehead were twitching.
Lin Wan Bai was a little afraid, but he was also a little guilty. He reached out and gently grabbed a small piece of cloth on's suit, admitting his mistake.
