Fan Yu was dressed in a white suit and had tucked one hand into his pocket. Wearing a smile on his handsome face, he exuded his usual gentle and warm charm.
His eyes shifted a little at Nian Xiaomu’s words before he turned toward President An.
At first, he looked a bit surprised, but very quickly, he resumed a calm expression.
It looked as if he wanted to say something, but someone suddenly came out of the room behind him.
Seeing Fan Yu, the look on that person’s face changed.
Master Fan, you haven’t left? Do you have any issues with the discussion we just had?
President Xiao…
When Nian Xiaomu recognized the person standing in front of her, she was shocked as well. He was the president of another company in City H.
Nian Xiaomu looked back and forth at the two men. When her eyes met Fan Yu’s teasing gaze, it finally struck her what was going on!
Her face flushed a crimson red!
On the other hand, when President An saw President Xiao walk over, he stepped forward to greet him.
I’m done with my meeting. What about you?
The two of them had arranged to play golf together.
As both men had last-minute business matters, they ate their lunches separately.
Who would have expected that the two groups would meet by coincidence?
Nian Xiaomu realized that she had misread the situation and hurriedly explained,
Nothing, there’s nothing at all. I will walk Master Fan out and won’t hold you up!
Just as she was about to ask Fan Yu if he wanted to leave together, she saw that Fan Yu had raised his eyebrow slightly.
The discussion with President Xiao was rather long. I’m thirsty now and would like to have a cup of coffee.
…
He could just have a drink by himself. She wasn’t going to keep him company!
Nian Xiaomu was about to walk away when Fan Yu spoke up nonchalantly,
Manager Nian, you misunderstood me earlier. Wouldn’t you want to buy me a coffee before taking your leave?
…
Nian Xiaomu turned to look at President An and President Xiao, who were still there, and thought about how she had indeed misunderstood Fan Yu.
If they were to get into an argument in front of their clients, that would be bad.
Of course not! If Master Fan wants to have coffee, I will gladly accompany him!
Following behind Fan Yu, they walked to a nearby cafe and sat down at a table.
The service staff member was prompt in approaching them and asked,
What would you like to have?
An espresso.
After Fan Yu placed his order, he looked up at Nian Xiaomu.
Nian Xiaomu was not looking at him though. Instead, she kept looking over to see if President An and President Xiao had left.
Hearing the service staff member’s question, she pouted her lips and replied,
Just give me a glass of water. That will do…
Before she could finish what she wanted to say, Fan Yu ordered another coffee, but this one with milk and sugar.
Nian Xiaomu:
…
Did he order the coffee for her or was he planning to drink two cups on his own?
I have kept my promise to you not to poach clients from your public relations department in the Yu Corporation. It seems like the animosity you have toward me is still very strong.
As Fan Yu spoke, he unbuttoned his business coat and rested one arm leisurely against the backrest of his seat.
Although you are not poaching clients from our public relations department, you are nevertheless my business rival. Haven’t you heard of the popular saying?
… What is that?
Fan Yu had been attracted by the sparkle in her eyes and responded a second late.
Nian Xiaomu smiled devilishly as she replied,
To show compassion to one’s enemy was being cruel to oneself!
…
A streak of light flashed in Fan Yu’s eyes as he stared back at her in a daze.
This sentence was only too familiar to him.
Sometime in the past, he had taught Liuliu the same.
In the business world, one cannot be indecisive.
To show compassion to one’s enemy was being cruel to oneself!
