With this gloomy shout, everyone felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They immediately stood up and fled the meeting room at a sprint speed. In just a moment, only Xiao Yu was left in the meeting room.
Yang Lan, the administrative secretary, then came in and reported tomorrow's schedule to Xiao Yu.
After she reported meticulously, Xiao Yu stood up from his chair, a faint smile curving his lips. "You've worked hard."
Yang Lan didn't even know how she walked back. Her mind was replaying the smile on Xiao Yu's lips. She felt horrified. She grabbed a colleague beside her and cried, "You didn't see those high - level executives coming out of the meeting room looking like eggplants beaten by frost. But the president actually smiled at me. Does he want to fire me?"
In the hotel living room, Ye Yanxi turned on all the lights after entering. She didn't know what to do for the moment.
She looked around the room and then sat down on the sofa. Fortunately, she had a book in the original Italian in her bag, which could help her kill time.
After reading for about an hour, her eyes began to feel sore. Maybe it was because she hadn't had a good rest in the previous few days. But she didn't dare to sleep now, so she picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
It happened to be a news channel. There wasn't much interesting at this time. An international news was being broadcast. She caught sight of a familiar figure at a glance.
Every time she saw Jin Yan's figure on the news, she would take a few more looks.
On TV, Jin Yan was wearing a sapphire - blue business suit with her long hair pulled up, looking capable and efficient. Every gesture showed her confidence and resourcefulness. At the moment, she was talking to a foreign man.
The woman on TV was Jin Yan, a senior from the foreign language department of their school from a few previous years. She used to be a diplomatic translator. Later, with her professional qualities and flexible adaptability, she finally became an outstanding female diplomat, and she was so young.
Every time Ye Yanxi saw Jin Yan's figure on the news, she would be extremely envious.
She deeply admired this senior who was a few years ahead of her. On the other hand, her dream was also to become an outstanding diplomat.
The foreign man in the news looked at Jin Yan and said sharply and directly, "Your country at least has a profound cultural etiquette. Why did you send a woman here? I must say, it's just so - so."
Hearing what the man said, Ye Yanxi got angry first.
This was clearly looking down on women and discriminating against Jin Yan just because she was a woman.
At this moment, the camera gave a close - up of Jin Yan.
The media that were qualified to be here were somewhat prestigious. They originally wanted to capture Jin Yan's angry expression because of this remark.
However, on the screen, Jin Yan always wore a faint smile on her face. Her behavior was proper, and there was not a trace of anger.
"As far as I know, the former prime minister of your country was also a woman. Coincidentally, I had the honor to meet her once. She was also very excellent. I admired her very much. It seems that she was also your superior. I wonder how you would evaluate her?"
Jin Yan was flexible in her adaptability and her words were quite sharp. After she said this, the man, with his thin skin, didn't dare to say more and timely changed the topic.
The news was about what happened in the morning. The two countries signed a friendly agreement. By the time the deal was finalized, the man had long disappeared.
Sitting on the sofa, Ye Yanxi watched this scene and felt extremely pleased. She couldn't help but be convinced by Jin Yan's performance.
Jin Yan timely resolved the embarrassment and safeguarded the national interests. Looking at Jin Yan's confident smile, Ye Yanxi couldn't help but clap her hands in admiration.
The sofa in the living room could be seen as soon as one entered the door. Ye Yanxi, who was engrossed in watching the news, didn't notice the door opening or the figure in a suit.
When Xiao Yu opened the door and came in, he saw Ye Yanxi concentrating on watching TV.
The smile on her face was as bright as the morning sun, a smile he had never seen before. Her delicate features exuded a charming temperament at this moment.
Ye Yanxi, who was immersed in joy, didn't come back to her senses until she heard a deep voice beside her ear. The voice seemed to be right next to her ear, and suddenly, a hot breath hit her face.
"So happy? What are you watching?"
Startled by the sudden voice, Ye Yanxi instinctively turned her head and replied, "I'm watching..."
She only said two words when the face so close to hers suddenly loomed large. She swallowed the rest of the words back, and her heart began to pound again.
It was Xiao Yu... When did he come?
"News?" Xiao Yu didn't wait for her answer. He was saying while tugging off his coat.
He casually threw his suit jacket on the sofa. He was only wearing a white shirt. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned two buttons. Through the collar, one could see his sexy and charming collarbone and the perfect and firm lines below.
Ye Yanxi, who had just relaxed, tensed up again. Watching his actions, her fair face immediately flushed red.
