"You …" Yu Meng gritted her teeth in anger, "You're going too far!"
Yu Meng's palms were covered in cold sweat. She clenched her fists and thought for a long time. Suddenly, she raised her head and asked, "Who found this Investor?"
"Impossible!" Yu Meng frowned, "I'm going on vacation. Gu Qing knew about this matter, why would he not clarify the timing when he was looking for Investor? He wouldn't be so careless. "
Tan Yubai's calm and composed appearance almost made Yu Meng explode.
Even though she knew that he had said all that on purpose, she was still unwilling to let him go. But there was nothing she could do.
In the end, Yu Meng had to give up.
She could not afford to lose the project. It was the only way she could get a foothold in the inner circle.
"Tan Yubai, you are ruthless." Yu Meng could not help but mutter, "Let me die from exhaustion." It'll be easier when you're tired to death. "
"I'm not against your vacation." Tan Yubai's gaze turned deep, "Weird, you can only blame yourself for finding He Mingxuan as your traveling companion."
Yu Meng was shocked, "How did you know that He Mingxuan will be with me?"
She didn't even know what happened, and when she thought back, she only mentioned this to one person.
"Gu Qing!" Yu Meng suddenly thought of him, and then she quickly thought of a lot of things, "Gu Qing was your man from the beginning, right?!"
Tan Yubai didn't say anything, he only used his deep gaze to size up Yu Meng, and once again silently took the place of all the other answers.
Yu Meng took a few steps back in shock. She almost couldn't believe it. She had thought that she had escaped from one trap, but all she had done was fall into another.
"Tan Yubai, are you a human?"
Tan Yubai pinched his fingers, and a clear sound of "ge deng" came out from his joints.
He replied with a smile, "Of course."
"Then you're a madman."
Yu Meng thought back for a few seconds, her eyelashes trembled, and the light in her eyes dimmed. "You set me up, and even asked Gu Qing to help me, what exactly do you want?!"
"I've never framed you." Tan Yubai replied calmly: "It's just that you never believed me."
It looked like Tan Yubai didn't care.
"That's because you're always lying to me!" Yu Meng could barely keep her cool. She turned around and walked out of the room. In this man's room, she could not stay a moment longer.
Tan Yubai sat on the leather chair and lightly knocked on the table.
"Siri, close the door."
"Yes, master."
Tan Yubai leaned against the back of the chair, his gaze falling upon a drawer under the desk. He stood up to pull the drawer, but it involved the injury on his leg.
The injury to his leg caused by the car accident was not something that could be healed overnight. It could also be something that he would never be able to recover from.
"Master." Siri rolled the four wheels under the machine and brought a cup of coffee over to Tan Yubai's side, "My scanner shows that your legs are in need of rest, you can't walk around casually anymore."
Tan Yubai loosened his hand that was pressing on his knee. His forehead was already covered in cold sweat, which was floating fine, but from his tone, one could not hear any pain.
"Your program for making coffee should have been upgraded."
Silently, he opened the drawer, where for years there had been only one photograph of Yu Meng and his past.
Beneath the photo was a green book.
That was their divorce certificate. When Tan Yubai saw the green corner, he couldn't help but frown and heavily close the drawer.
Yu Meng, this leg of mine is all thanks to you. In the future, you have to be the person in charge of this matter.
On the other side of Century Avenue, Yu Meng stopped at a milk tea shop and ordered the largest ice cream.
She was very angry and didn't know how to vent. She thought of the old method: eating sweets.
How could she not be angry? Although she was unwilling, the project was above all else in her heart.
Once again, Yu Meng had no other choice because of Tan Yubai.
Thinking about it carefully, a large portion of the "credit" belonged to Gu Qing.
Yu Meng held a huge ice cream in one hand, while furiously biting on the cream on the other hand, she dialed Gu Qing's number.
"Director Yu, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
"Gu Qing, why would you decide your own business without discussing it with me?"
The phone went quiet, and then Gu Qing said in a relaxed tone, "Oh, tell me this, I remember that Boss Yu and I met. You said that you wanted to take a leave of absence, and I didn't want to disturb your taking a leave of absence, so I decided on my own. But don't worry, I've already prepared the information. If you need it, I can send it over to you anytime. "
"But we are partners. No matter what, you should ask me for my opinion."
"Director Yu, this time Investor does not require us to plant the brand, nor do they require us to obtain any benefits, nor do we have any hard terms that we need to agree to. If I do not make good use of this opportunity, it would be hard for me to find a Investor that can purely 'contribute to the arts'."
Yu Meng felt a little uneasy. "Which company is it that has such a good matter?"
Yu Meng had always believed that the heavens would not drop the pie for no reason.
"Director Gu, this way, you should think it over carefully. Don't think about the other party's trap too much."
Gu Qing was still calm and relaxed as he replied, "As for the information regarding Investor, when Boss Yu has time, I'll send it to your mailbox. Take a look."
"No need." Yu Meng thought about it, "Please help me arrange a meeting with Investor. I'll treat him to a meal when it's convenient."
"Isn't Director Yu on vacation?"
The mere mention of this made Yu Meng extremely angry. This fellow dared to say something like that. She couldn't go on vacation, but it was all thanks to him!
"It's been canceled temporarily." In the end, Yu Meng didn't directly take responsibility for him over the phone.
In the end, Gu Qing did not do anything wrong.
The meeting between Yu Meng and this so called Investor was set for that night.
What a coincidence, Investor's big boss, who should have been busy every day, had the time to meet Yu Meng that day.
This time, Gu Qing arrived first, and Yu Meng also went to the restaurant for an appointment. The legendary Investor, took over an hour.
This was a common occurrence in the industry. As the big boss, it was normal for him to put on airs.
However, when the private room door was pushed open, Yu Meng stood up and walked over to greet her. She lifted her gaze to meet her. The smile that Yu Meng had been brewing for a long time was frozen on her face.
"Why? Are you that shocked to see me?" The other party smiled faintly, "Director Yu?"
Yu Meng's face slowly turned pale as she stared at her opponent. Finally, she let out a cold laugh.
"Tan Yubai, how could it be you?"
Yu Meng never thought that the Investor this time would actually be Tan Yubai himself.
It was no wonder that he didn't request for the placement of ads nor the indicator for the benefits. He didn't request for anything, he just wanted to see her make a joke of herself.
Seeing how she was being brushed around time and time again, he had an embarrassed look on his face.
Yu Meng was burning with anger, and it only got hotter and hotter.
"Sorry, I don't have time to play with you anymore."
After saying that, just as she was about to leave, her arm was pulled by Gu Qing who was standing quietly at the side.
"Boss Yu, what are you doing?" This is our Investor! "
Other people treated Investor as if he was a new parent and respected her, but Yu Meng was the one who disregarded her, which naturally frightened Gu Qing.
"Investor?" Yu Meng sneered, "Is he here to invest, or is he here to laugh at me?"
Gu Qing deeply furrowed his brows, anxious and helpless: "Boss Tan, what kind of joke can you laugh at?!"
Of course Gu Qing didn't understand, but when she saw Tan Yubai's eyes alone, she could imagine how ridiculous she looked in his eyes.
"Hehe, what joke is this? Of course you don't understand, Gu Qing, I'm not afraid to tell you. In Tan Yubai's eyes, I am just a pet that he has locked up. He took this as a form of entertainment, saw how I was like a person who was trying his best to escape, and then tried his best to fail, and saw how my head was bleeding because I thought that I had finally regained my freedom. When I turned around, I could still see the iron cage, as well as the light and confident expression on Yun Ping Feng's face. As Yu Meng spoke, her face slowly revealed a sorrowful helplessness, "He's a genius, a king, a talent standing at the peak of the mountain. Every genius enjoys the process of being a genius, just like how he easily sent me back to my original spot after I threw everything else in."
Gu Qing was only a businessman. Other than dealing with numbers, he could not understand a single word of this kind of sentence.
He did not know how to answer, but luckily he was not an idiot. Even without thinking, he already knew that although these words were meant for him, Gu Qing, the truth was that she wanted to say it for Tan Yubai to hear.
Gu Qing did not answer, the atmosphere of the house became solemn and solemn.
"I'm leaving."
Yu Meng's face alternated between white and red. She was both embarrassed and angry. She didn't want to stay here any longer. She kept having the feeling that she shouldn't have said all of those things out loud on a whim.
After calming down, she thought that she looked more like a clown performing a show.
The point was that the audience didn't even respond with a laugh.
"You're too sensitive." This time Tan Yubai did not pull her, but heard the door open behind him, and lightly said: "You better think carefully, if you walk out of this door today, this project will be ruined as well."
Yu Meng gripped the door frame tightly, her fingers turning white.
"Tan Yubai, how can you be so despicable! Threatening me with projects again and again?! "
Yu Meng was so angry that her face turned green, but Tan Yubai slowly turned around and faced her with a faint smile.
"I never did." His tone was calm: "Just focus on the matter. With your attitude, treating this project's Investor, do you think this project still has any chance of survival?"
Yu Meng gritted her teeth but didn't say anything.
"Like I said, you are too sensitive. If from the beginning till the end, you only treat me as an ordinary Investor, for this project, I think we will cooperate very happily."
Yu Mengyi thought about it for a moment, then slowly loosened her grip on the door frame.
Is it true, that she's too sensitive? When facing Tan Yubai, the first thing she thought of was that guy coming up with a bad idea to harm her.
That was why she had lost her sense of reason as the head of a company.
