At a certain office building in the bustling district.
Every time Lin Wan Bai looked over, the receptionist would smile, but still did not have the intention to invite her in.
She looked at her watch. She had been waiting for an hour.
Lin Wan Bai had actually already gone over once yesterday, but she had just gotten the door shut. She had already reacted when she called overseas to call the editor, and the order she received was that they must interview someone. If they did not succeed in the interview, then this year's anniversary could be considered to be in vain.
Originally, her business trip had been arranged in advance, and many of the people she needed to interview had also made appointments and communicated with each other. Only one person had yet to agree, and that was the founder and chairman of Pan Corporation.
Unlike Elder Xu, who had just returned from an interview, this Elder Pan was difficult to talk to.
Lin Wan Bai looked at his watch again and felt that he would have to waste the entire afternoon here. He couldn't help but get up from the sofa and walk towards the front desk, "I'm sorry, can you please help me ask again, could Elder Pan find some time to see me?"
"I'm sorry!" The receptionist smiled.
Lin Wan Bai frowned, he was thinking about what to do, when he suddenly heard the front desk miss shout behind her, "Hutong!"
She turned her head and saw a tall figure walking in.
It was probably due to business. Furthermore, they seemed to have an appointment, and the front desk ladies had already come out to personally lead the way.
It was still the same black coloured suit, accentuating his well-built body, followed by Jiang Fang who he had met once again in Hauptmann's.
"Miss Lin!" The latter also saw her and could not help but greet her.
Lin Wan Bai smiled at him in response.
Feeling the BOSS's glance from the side, the hand that Jiang Fang was holding the briefcase with, inexplicably trembled. He closed his mouth and no longer spoke, and instead silently retreated to the side.
Huo Chang Yuan grabbed his pockets with one hand, "What are you doing here?"
"Ugh …" Lin Wan Bai shrugged his shoulders a little, "I came here to see the Chairman Pan, he is an important person that our anniversary magazine wants to interview, it's just that he didn't agree to it at all. I'm currently trying to persuade him, but he isn't even willing to see me …"
After Huo Chang Yuan heard this, he was silent for two seconds before he asked, "What if I can help you convince him?"
"You're helping me?" Lin Wan Bai was surprised.
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan nodded as his lips moved, "If I help you, how would you thank me?"
Lin Wan Bai frowned, she looked at him with a perplexed and cautious look, "How do you want to thank me?"
"Very simple." Huo Chang Yuan raised his brows slightly.
"What?" Lin Wan Bai swallowed his saliva.
Huo Chang Yuan's deep eyes swept across her perky nose, and stopped at the lips she had just pursed up. His tone was mischievous, "I want a kiss from you."
"…" Lin Wan Bai opened his eyes wide.
The people coming and going in the hall of the office were all people, but he did not expect to openly say such insulting words.
"Wait here first!"
Huo Chang Yuan didn't wait for her response and suddenly left after saying that.
Lin Wan Bai regained his senses and quickly shouted, "Wait!"
She did not agree!
However, Huo Chang Yuan was tall and had long legs and large steps, so in the blink of an eye, he had already entered the elevator.
The hall was still filled with people, Lin Wan Bai returned to the sofa and sat down, watching the second hand on his watch as he considered to leave first. When the front desk lady walked over to her.
"Miss Lin, Chairman Pan asks me to invite you in!"
"Oh …"
Lin Wan Bai nodded and followed behind with the pen and electricity.
Coming out from the elevator, the secretary brought him to the chairman's office. On the leather sofa, Jiang Fang, who came up with him previously, had gone somewhere, leaving only Chairman Pan and Huo Chang Yuan sitting side by side. The latter had a cigarette in his hand, while the white smoke emitted from his mouth and nose.
The secretary brought over a cup of tea and extended his hand out, "Miss Lin, please have a seat!"
"Thank you." Lin Wan Bai nodded.
She placed the pen and electricity on her knees and began to brew, "Chairman Pan …"
"Miss Lin, you have a lot of face!" The Chairman Pan opposite of her interrupted her with a laugh, causing the lines on his face to tremble slightly, "I know your purpose in coming here, I've accepted the interview for《 Times and Trade》, we can begin later!"
"Really?" Lin Wan Bai was surprised, "Chairman Pan, so you really agreed to accept the interview?"
"I've already asked you to sit in front of me, how can you fake it!" Chairman Pan laughed as he raised his eyebrows, glancing at Huo Chang Yuan, laughing even louder, "Haha, Hutong and I can be considered to have forgotten our age, when we were playing golf at the golf course, I accidentally had a heart attack. Luckily Hutong helped me pass the medicine on time, and I have always owed him a favor!"
"I thought he would put this favor in the business world, but in the past few years of working together, he never mentioned it. I never thought that he would actually ask me for this favor right now and ask me to accept your interview! So, I didn't say anything just now, Miss Lin, you have a lot of face! " At the end, Chairman Pan even gave her a thumbs up.
"Ugh …" Lin Wan Bai suddenly became anxious.
Glancing at Huo Chang Yuan, in the white smoke, a pair of deep eyes was staring at her.
Her heart seemed to have been scalded as she lowered her eyes in panic.
Seemingly not seeing the interaction between the two, Chairman Pan asked with a smile, "Miss Lin, can we start now?"
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai's eyelashes trembled.
He did not dare raise his eyes again, his gaze fixated on the pen and electricity's screen the whole time, staring at its heart and nose.
About 40 minutes later, the interview ended.
Lin Wan Bai closed the pen and electricity on her knees, and remained in the same position for a long time. Her calves and stomach were slightly stiff, she raised her head and looked directly in front of her, "Chairman Pan, thank you.
"Alright!" Chairman Pan smiled and nodded.
"Elder Pan, we'll be leaving first!" Huo Chang Yuan stood up.
"Go!" Chairman Pan raised his hand.
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips, and followed him out of the office.
When they arrived at the elevator, it stopped right at the top floor. After entering, only the two of them were inside.
Along the way, no one pressed on the stairs. Lin Wan Bai, with his hands behind his back, stuttered, "Uh, for the interview with Chairman Pan, thank you …"
"You're welcome." Huo Chang Yuan pursed his lips into a meaningful smile.
Lin Wan Bai pinched his fingertips together and the elevator door slowly opened up before him. Still no sign of Jiang Fang as he walked out of the revolving door. Huo Chang Yuan took out the car key from his pocket, "Wait for me, I'm going to get the car!"
