Chapter 295: Chapter 295 The call from Hai Xiaotang_1

Dongfang Yu was in a meeting.

Recently, the pressure in the company has been incredibly heavy.

Especially for all the employees who can get close to Dongfang Yu, they can more noticeably feel a suffocating sensation that makes it hard to breathe.

The one who felt it most deeply was Ji Chuan.

Ever since Dongfang Yu returned from his medical treatment abroad, he had not seen him smile.

Although he didn’t usually like to smile, this was a different kind of not smiling.

Now, he was clearly in a poor mood, emitting a kind of aura that startled and frightened those around him.

For instance, the manager who was currently reporting, despite his many years and abundant experience in the company, seemed unnaturally nervous.

As though he feared that saying even a single wrong word would ignite Dongfang Yu’s anger.

Ji Chuan, sitting behind Dongfang Yu, did not dare to breathe heavily.

Suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket buzzed!

It was Dongfang Yu’s phone, Ji Chuan quickly pulled it out, intending if not an essential person calling, then to reject the call.

Hai Xiaotang—

These were the three words displayed on the caller ID!

Ji Chuan hesitated, was she considered an important person or not?

Because Dongfang Yu had a rule, that without any important matters, no one should disturb him when he’s in a meeting.

Hai Xiaotang was a significant person in his personal life, not in his professional one. Ji Chuan didn’t know whether or not to give Dongfang Yu the phone.

If it were before, he would likely have passed it on to him without a second thought. But everyone knows that Dongfang Yu’s mood is currently heavy, and being careless might upset him.

But if he did not pass it, what if that upset him even more?!

Ji Chuan only hesitated for a second before decisively handing over the cell phone.

Dongfang Yu took a glance at it, and his expression instantly froze.

The reporting manager also immediately closed his mouth, everyone felt that, at this moment, they could not interrupt him.

The next second, the ever expressionless man took the phone and got up to leave!

His brisk and urgent departure left an impression, as if nothing could hold him back from answering that call.

Seeing him like this, Ji Chuan was relieved that he had decided to give him the phone.

It seemed like in the future, as long as Hai Xiaotang called, regardless of the circumstances, he would pass the call…

“Hello…” Dongfang Yu arrived at a deserted location and answered the call.

From the other end, Hai Xiaotang’s gentle voice rang out, “Can we meet? I’m below your office building.”

“I’m coming right down!” Dongfang Yu said and promptly turned to leave.

Hai Xiaotang didn’t wait for long before she saw him striding out of the office building.

The moment Dongfang Yu saw her, his gaze locked onto her and couldn’t shift away.

Hai Xiaotang was standing on the steps outside the company entrance. She was wearing a white woolen coat, with a ring of thick white fox fur on the hood.

Her hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her smooth and full forehead.

She probably had been waiting for a while, as her nose was reddened by the cold, and her usually pale skin appeared even paler.

The air she breathed out was frosty mist…

As Dongfang Yu stepped out of the company’s main gate, he instantly felt the icy cold wind outside.

His instinct was to remove his coat and drape it over Hai Xiaotang, but he restrained himself.

“What’s the matter?” He asked as soon as he was near her.

Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flickered slightly, “I’d like to speak with you concerning my grandpa.”

“Let’s find a place to talk, follow me!” Dongfang Yu said and turned to leave.

Hai Xiaotang hesitated for a moment, but then followed him.

He led her to the underground garage, then opened the car door for her, “Get in!”
