Chapter 137: Who Has He Ever Been Serious About?
Han Jiani finished speaking and turned to leave. The door closed, and Meng Ze remained expressionless, continuing his work.
After work, Meng Ze received a call from an unknown number. He pressed answer, and Han Jiani's voice came through: "Meng Ze, am I not all-powerful? I said I could get your number, and I certainly did."
Meng Ze's voice was cold: "Say what you have to say quickly."
"After you get off work, wait for me at Lan An Cafe across from the company. Don't you dare stand me up."
"I don't have time."
"Whether you have time or not, you have to come. I told you, if you don't come, I'll post the video of you kissing me on the forum. You've just sat in the position of assistant to the Vice President; if people see this video, what will they say about you?"
Meng Ze hung up the phone.
Sitting in the cafe, Han Jiani was a bit bewildered—was this Meng Ze coming, or not?
On second thought, he would definitely come; normal people cared about their reputation, especially him.
However, she waited until eight o'clock in the evening, and Meng Ze never appeared.
She had already ordered two cups of coffee, and she was sick of eating the snacks there.
She called Meng Ze again, but it indicated the line was busy. She called again, and it was the same; she realized Meng Ze had blocked her.
She couldn't help but be so angry she was about to explode.
Fine, since he didn't care, she would post the video on the forum; it would be best if he got fired.
However, just as she was about to upload it, she suddenly realized a problem: uploading it like this might threaten him, but what good would it do her?
He wanted his reputation, but didn't she want hers? If her father saw this video, she would definitely get scolded.
She watched the kissing video several times over; no matter how she looked at it, she felt the level of kissing was extremely high, as if they were filming an idol drama.
She stopped the upload and left the cafe in a huff.
Meng Ze, you just wait for me; I will definitely chase you down, and then dump you hard!
……
In mid-July, Beishi was already as hot as a fire cage.
But Han Yangting still showed no signs of waking up.
Bai Shunan and Ling Feng took the opportunity of work to visit Beishi again, and also went to the Castle to see Han Yangting.
It was Bai Shunan's first time at the Castle, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
The Castle was so big; her sister had married here, so logically, she would have no worries about food or clothing for the rest of her life. But what if Han Yangting never woke up? Or even if he woke up one day, what if he became a vegetable, lying in bed every day?
But Bai Shunan knew that Bai Shuruo was affectionate and loyal; no matter what, she would never abandon Han Yangting.
Bai Shuruo hosted Bai Shunan and Ling Feng inside the Castle.
"Sister, there are three chefs in the Castle, and they can cook all kinds of styles of cuisine. Would you like French food, Chinese food? Or Japanese?" Bai Shuruo introduced happily to Bai Shunan.
She wanted to show her life to her sister, letting her sister know that she was doing well, so that her sister wouldn't worry about her.
Bai Shunan put on an appearance of being very envious: "Wow, no wonder you didn't want to return to Fengcheng after coming to the Castle once. You live here like a princess; if I lived here every day, I wouldn't be eating takeout anymore, would I?"
"Then you should stay here for a few more days," said Bai Shuruo.
Bai Shunan laughed: "There are over a thousand people at the factory waiting for me to pay their wages, so I can't stay that long. Tomorrow I still have to visit a client, the day after there is a Chamber of Commerce event, and the day after that I have to return to Fengcheng."
Bai Shuruo was naturally reluctant to let her go.
Everyone ate dinner together.
Ling Feng was someone who knew how to set the mood; he told many jokes, making Ye Caiyue laugh from time to time. He also asked Han Dongbei what was fun over in Africa, and Han Dongbei spoke frankly about the various animals and the climate. However, when he turned his head and saw Ye Caiyue sitting there without a word, he immediately shut his mouth.
It was better for him to say nothing at all, so as to avoid Ye Caiyue saying that he was living it up in Africa while she was at home bearing the burden of the whole family's life.
Ling Feng received a call during the meal and left the dining room to answer it in the living room.
Ye Caiyue was uncharacteristically gossipy and asked Bai Shunan: "Nannan, I think Ling Feng is quite good to you. I watched Ling Feng grow up, and I have never seen him be this serious about any girl."
Bai Shunan smiled and said generously: "We are currently in a partnership. Before the company makes money, it's hard to talk about these things. Besides, working together every day, we've become like family. A rabbit doesn't eat the grass by its own burrow; it's better if he and I remain business partners."
Bai Shuruo listened from the side and knew that her sister was once bitten by a snake and is now afraid of well ropes for ten years; she had been hurt deeply by Gu Yunting before and was now afraid to love.
So Bai Shuruo also advised: "Sister, since you are business partners, why not use this time to properly vet Ling Feng? You are at the right age, and you should find a companion."
Bai Shunan burst out laughing: "Ruoruo, how old do you think I am? I haven't even reached 30 yet; it's not too late for women to marry at 40 nowadays. It's you instead—you've spent so much time with your mother-in-law that you're becoming more and more like mother and daughter, knowing how to urge marriage now."
At this moment, Ling Feng returned. He walked in laughing: "What are you all chatting about, so happily?"
Bai Shunan said: "Talking behind your back."
"Alright, Bai Shunan, you are actually discussing me behind my back. Others say that when a person discusses another behind their back, it means you have this person in your heart."
Bai Shunan said: "What kind of fallacy is that? A player's fallacy?"
"This is what the great emotional expert Ling Feng says."
"……" This meal was eaten very harmoniously and happily.
……
The next day, Bai Shunan went to visit a distributor.
She had met this distributor when she first came to Beishi to host a car show. At that time, this distributor was very optimistic about their project and signed a contract with her without conducting an on-site inspection.
Now, her company's cars were selling very well here, and this distributor had also made quite a bit of money.
After making money, the distributor welcomed Bai Shunan's arrival very warmly and even wanted to invite Bai Shunan to eat at a very elegant garden.
Bai Shunan gladly accepted the invitation, and while eating, they discussed another deal worth tens of millions.
After they were wined and dined, the distributor suddenly became gossipy.
"President Bai, what is your relationship with President Gu of the Gu Group in Fengcheng?"
Bai Shunan paused and said: "I used to be President Gu's subordinate."
"No wonder."
Bai Shunan asked curiously: "Why did Manager Xu bring up President Gu? Ever since I resigned to start my own business, I haven't seen President Gu again."
The distributor was puzzled: "Really? Then why did President Gu want me to look after your business? Do you remember the last car show? The reason I was in such a hurry to sign the deal with you back then was because President Gu guaranteed it for me, saying that if I lost money, he would pay me back tenfold."
After hearing this, Bai Shunan could not help but be stunned.
"There is such a thing? I actually didn't know; perhaps President Gu recognizes my work ability. After all, when I resigned, he kept trying to get me to stay."
The distributor added, "You are still staying in Beishi for another two days, right? There is a business event tomorrow, and as far as I know, President Gu will also be coming, so you two can meet up then."
