"We're here, Young Master Leng, Miss Xia."
Yun Ye parked the car in the pre - reserved spot in the underground parking lot, then opened the car doors for Leng Chuanjin and Xia Sanghuan.
"Let's go."
The man turned to the girl and said.
"Okay."
Xia Sanghuan nodded.
She glanced at the satchel in her arms that contained the bills. After a moment of hesitation, she put it back in the car.
This was one of their last aces, and they couldn't let the other side know about it so easily.
Since Yun Ye wasn't on the reservation list, he stopped at the elevator door after the two walked into the exclusive elevator.
"Is it really okay that Yun Ye isn't coming with us?"
After the elevator doors closed, the girl asked worriedly.
Although she wasn't seriously injured last night, she still had lingering fears.
Kevin dared to go straight to the hotel to look for them, which meant he wasn't afraid of being discovered.
Or rather, he had the means to smooth things over even if he was discovered.
Thinking of what the hotel manager had told them, her mood sank.
Sensing her mood, Leng Chuanjin suddenly took his hand out of his coat pocket.
His fingertips twitched slightly as he reached out to tidy up the hair by her temples.
"Your hair is a bit messy."
He said for no apparent reason.
After all, in order to fit today's occasion, she had simply styled her hair this morning according to the methods her sisters had taught her.
Then Xia Sanghuan felt something being put on her ear.
It was cold and a bit uncomfortable.
"My ear..."
She had just started to speak when the man interrupted her.
"Shh."
He said softly.
"Don't pay attention to it."
After saying that, he stood up straight and quietly waited for the elevator to reach its destination.
Although she had a lot of questions, looking at his back, she swallowed them back.
She resisted the urge to reach up and touch her ear and silently waited with him.
The floor where the chairman's office was located was quite high, but fortunately, the elevator was fast. In less than five minutes, the elevator doors opened with a clear chime.
Leng Chuanjin walked out first. It was a rare occasion when he didn't walk side by side with her.
This was what the two had discussed last night.
To avoid getting into more trouble, they decided to obscure the relationship between them.
Xia Sanghuan was wearing the suit that Yun Ye had brought this morning.
Maybe because she usually wore a white coat most of the time and had no business experience at all, she looked very suitable both in appearance and temperament.
Different from the first suit that was obviously for a fresh graduate, she now looked like a capable right - hand assistant who had been by Leng Chuanjin's side for many years.
Coupled with the fact that she was deliberately keeping a straight face, she looked even more mature.
The man was very satisfied, but he couldn't show it. He would have to wait until they got back to the hotel to say something.
"Mr. Leng, Miss Xia, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
The female secretary standing at the office door gave them a shallow smile.
If Xia Sanghuan wasn't mistaken, she seemed to have given Leng Chuanjin a flirtatious look.
But the man pretended not to notice.
Seeing his lack of reaction, the secretary opened the door for them listlessly.
"Boss, your guests are here."
She called out lazily.
If Leng Chuanjin and Xia Sanghuan were to rate her hospitality, they would not hesitate to give her a zero.
Not to mention that since they had come up directly in the exclusive elevator with a voucher, as the secretary who was supposed to greet them, she should have waited at the elevator door to make it easier for the guests to find the office.
When they first got off the elevator, it took them a full three minutes to find the exact location of the chairman's office.
They only found it by looking at the indoor map on the wall that was obviously half the size of those in other companies.
"Is this company so poor that they can't even make ends meet?"
The man heard the girl muttering behind him.
"The map is so small. They're probably afraid someone will find it."
"People who don't know might think they're hiding a criminal lair."
Her tone was full of dissatisfaction due to her strong personal feelings.
He was amused by her words but couldn't turn around to look at her.
Of course, he wasn't worried that the chairman would hear her words.
Not only was her voice soft enough, but even if the company's surveillance and audio equipment were good enough to record her words, he didn't believe they could understand them.
"Please come in."
A deep male voice came from the office.
After they walked in, the secretary blew a kiss to the middle - aged man with a "Mediterranean" hairstyle who had stood up from his office chair, and then closed the door.
If they had been dissatisfied with the secretary's attitude at first, now seeing what she had done and the indulgent expression on the middle - aged man's face, they could more or less guess what was going on.
Was there no one applying for jobs in this company?
Leng Chuanjin silently complained in his heart.
"Welcome, you two."
He opened his arms to them, looking very enthusiastic.
"Please take a seat."
If only he had poured them a cup of tea.
Xia Sanghuan sat there stiffly on the chair - because the chairman had only prepared single sofas for himself and Leng Chuanjin.
"You've come all this way to see me. What can I do for you?"
Hearing his irresponsible and flippant words, the girl's hand clutching the folder turned white.
Everything that had happened so far was as if he had written "I don't take you seriously at all" on his face.
Maybe he thought they were here to "plead" for Fu Moning, so he naturally underestimated their status.
And Leng Chuanjin could no longer maintain his calm demeanor.
"I think we made our purpose clear when we made the reservation."
His voice suddenly deepened.
Even his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
"You're the chairman, but you don't know anything."
"May I ask if this is because your employees didn't explain things clearly enough?"
"Or are you just too old and your brain is clogged with fat, so you tend to forget things easily?"
Although they were still on the other side's turf, Leng Chuanjin showed no sign of timidity.
On the contrary, the middle - aged man across from him was so intimidated by his words that he couldn't say a word.
"Of course not!"
He changed his haughty attitude just now and took out a handkerchief to wipe his already sweaty forehead.
"I... I've had so many things to deal with recently that I mixed up your matter."
"I've been so busy that I can't even sleep well. Please forgive me."
Hearing his words, Leng Chuanjin couldn't help but sneer.
Listen to this flimsy lie.
