Chapter 129: Someone said this angle makes me look more handsome!
A Wei sighed.
His Eldest Young Lady, when encountering Xu Tian, was truly as unprincipled as ever.
He even suspected that, let alone Xu Tian feeding her corn, even if it were poison, she would likely drink it without changing her expression.
Seeing Xu Tian dazed, Tang Bingyan raised her slender, fair fingers and tapped on the tabletop.
Xu Tian snapped back to reality, looked down at the remaining pine nut corn, hesitated for a moment, and then fed her another spoonful.
Tang Bingyan still ate it with a calm expression.
"Corn can replenish protein and vitamins; given your current physical condition, you shouldn't be a picky eater."
Xu Tian calmly fed her two more spoonfuls of corn before picking out the shrimp Tang Bingyan loved most.
Such an action left the executives present in utter admiration, and at the same time, they realized that Tang Bingyan was establishing Xu Tian's authority in front of them, even going so far as to slight Gu Beicheng, her childhood sweetheart.
It seemed that a childhood sweetheart could only be a business partner and could never go any further.
The executives looked at Gu Beicheng with sympathetic eyes, but given the depth of Gu Beicheng's hidden motives, how could anyone see through the disappointment and dissatisfaction in his heart?
One could only see that the expression on his face did not change in the slightest; he still stood by Tang Bingyan's side, calm and composed, appearing as if he were ready to await her orders at any time.
In fact, given Gu Beicheng's status and strength, he had absolutely no need to lower himself to work for Tang Bingyan.
Many executives were clear about the purpose of him constantly following Tang Bingyan and sharing the work of the Tang Group for her.
It was just a pity that the prince had the intention, but the goddess had no heart.
That Gu Beicheng had actually lost to a pretty boy with no achievements in business was truly sigh-worthy.
Xu Tian just focused on feeding her and did not disturb Tang Bingyan as she read documents.
After most of the food in the lunch box was gone, he carried the thermal lunch box to the pantry, washed the oil-stained box clean, and put it back in its original place.
Afterwards, when Tang Bingyan held a meeting, Xu Tian sat on the sofa and scrolled through Weibo.
Suddenly, he received a WeChat message from Shang Yiran, which contained several selfies.
Shang Yiran: 【Xu Tian, with your professional agent's eye, look at these photos and tell me which one highlights my handsomeness. I want to post on Weibo.】
Xu Tian:...
Was Shang Yiran's personality actually this narcissistic?
After spending time with the other party recently, Xu Tian could feel that Shang Yiran had gradually walked out of the haze of the framing incident.
Now that he could actually take selfies and post on Weibo, it meant he was going to make a comeback.
Xu Tian: 【Just use the first one.】
Actually, he felt that apart from the different angles, the others were all about the same.
However, since Shang Yiran asked, he naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he just randomly pointed to the first one.
Shang Yiran: 【Alright, then I'll post this one.】
Not long after, Xu Tian scrolled to Shang Yiran's newly posted Weibo.
Shang Yiran: 【Someone said this angle makes me look more handsome! 'Dog head' 'Dog head'】
Xu Tian:...
When did I say you were handsome?!
Xu Tian exited Weibo with an indescribable feeling and discovered that the executives in the office had already left.
"Bingyan, can we get off work now?"
Xu Tian stretched and stood up from the sofa.
"Not yet, the Eldest Young Lady still needs to hold a meeting for all the company's executives," A Wei spoke up.
"Still need to hold a meeting?"
Xu Tian couldn't help but say: "What time is it now? A meeting will take at least an hour; are you planning to pull an all-nighter today?"
"This meeting is relatively important." Seeing Tang Bingyan remain silent, A Wei took the initiative to explain again.
"Can't we hold it tomorrow?" Xu Tian asked again.
"No."
This time Tang Bingyan spoke: "If you are tired, you can go back first."
"Fine, I'm going back!" Xu Tian was so angry he laughed.
So Tang Bingyan's emotional intelligence and IQ were all used in the business world, and none were spared for him, right?
He had specifically come to pick her up from work, wanting her to go back and rest early; it wasn't as if he had just come to show off their affection!
After speaking, he didn't even look at Tang Bingyan, turned around, and walked out of the office.
Watching Xu Tian's back disappear, A Wei looked at Tang Bingyan with some helplessness: "Tang Zong, Mr. Xu seems to be angry."
"I know." Tang Bingyan was expressionless.
A Wei: "... Then is the meeting still going ahead?"
"Yes." Tang Bingyan also got up, left the office, and walked toward the conference room.
A Wei helplessly tidied up Tang Bingyan's desk.
Well, his Eldest Young Lady's workaholic attributes had erupted, and even Xu Tian couldn't stop her.
After Xu Tian left, although he said he was angry and going home, and wouldn't care anymore.
However, he still acted contrary to his words, wandering around downstairs of the Yan Group, and bought a bowl of millet porridge and a small cake without added cream at a convenience store.
Dinner was eaten at six, and it was already one in the morning; the meeting might not end for a while, and when Tang Bingyan came out of the conference room, she might still be hungry.
When Xu Tian returned to the office again, he found only A Wei inside organizing documents.
"Mr. Xu?" A Wei was very surprised by Xu Tian's return.
"I bought her some late-night snacks."
Xu Tian placed the convenience store bag on the table and went to get the thermal lunch box to pour the millet porridge into it.
"Mr. Xu is very thoughtful." A Wei nodded faintly at Xu Tian, feeling a bit more favorably toward him.
Although he still didn't fully trust Xu Tian, Xu Tian's actions during this period had made him look at him with new eyes.
"By the way, A Wei, does Tang Bingyan have any plans to go abroad recently?" Xu Tian asked, appearing casual.
"Tang Zong is going to the Lighthouse Country at the end of the month to negotiate with a company."
Anyway, Xu Tian would know about this sooner or later, so A Wei didn't hide it from him: "Tang Zong is holding a meeting for the executives now to finalize the details of the negotiation."
Hearing A Wei's words, Xu Tian's heart sank suddenly.
Clearly, after his rebirth, the development of various things had already diverged from the path of his previous life; could it be that Tang Bingyan still couldn't escape the fate of being assassinated and seriously injured?
"Is the negotiation very important? Must Bingyan go personally?"
Xu Tian's expression didn't change, and his tone was as if he were just chatting with A Wei: "Usually, doesn't Gu Beicheng handle this kind of work of negotiating abroad?"
"This time is different."
A Wei explained: "The cooperation with the AM Company is quite tricky. Although Tang Zong holds the patented technology, the other side refuses to budge because of licensing issues. Furthermore, the Tang family has been preparing for this project for a long time, and the companies involved include not only the Yan Group but also several subsidiaries under the Tang Group, so Tang Zong must go personally."
After a pause, A Wei asked again: "Mr. Xu, do you have any arrangements at the end of the month?"
Xu Tian didn't speak again; his heart had already sunk to the bottom, and he had no heart to deal with A Wei.
Since this project required Tang Bingyan, he needed to find a reason that everyone would accept to stop her from going to the Lighthouse Country.
But this reason was really hard to find.
He couldn't just say that Tang Bingyan's trip this time was very dangerous, and if she wasn't careful, she might even lose her life.
No one would believe him.
Then what should he do?
Did he really have to let Tang Bingyan go to the Lighthouse Country?
