Lu Feng
Yang Zhen looked at her somewhat childish appearance and couldn't help but reach out to lightly pat her arm: "Alright, just hold on a little longer, sit down properly right now. When General Manager Fang comes back and sees you like this, you'll be laughed at."
Just as she was speaking, a light sound came from the conference room door, and Fang Yuan walked in from outside.
She had just entered the conference room when she saw Tian Xiaolin's dejected appearance, and she asked somewhat doubtfully: "Miss Tian, what's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with the planning team's proposal just now?"
"No, no!"
Tian Xiaolin was startled, looking just like a student caught daydreaming by a surprise visit from the homeroom teacher.
She hurriedly sat up straight in her chair, and that proposal document fell to the floor with a slap.
Tian Xiaolin hurriedly bent down to pick it up and put it back on the table, her face turning bright red in an instant.
She hadn't expected Fang Yuan to have only gone out for a short while and already returned to the conference room so quickly.
Her appearance just now had all been seen by others.
Tian Xiaolin lowered her head embarrassedly, her ears turning red as well.
Yang Zhen watched her from the side with a look of being caught red-handed, sighed helplessly, and quickly smiled to explain to Fang Yuan: "Sorry, General Manager Fang, my artist has made you laugh. Xiaolin's schedule today is packed too tightly; she didn't even have time to eat breakfast properly, and now she's too hungry to have any strength. But don't worry, I've asked the assistant to go buy a vegetable salad back right now, so it won't delay our continued meeting."
Vegetable salad again!
Tian Xiaolin groaned inwardly the moment she heard those four words, and couldn't help but put on a worried and bitter expression.
During this period, her agent Yang Zhen, in order to make her control her weight, had her eating vegetable salad for almost every meal, and she was long sick of it.
Her expression was seen by Fang Yuan, who raised her brow slightly.
The reason Fang Yuan had gone out just now was because her father Fang Shiming had called her, and now he was urging her to hurry to Food Street to queue up together.
Fang Shiming was still thinking about that roast duck they ate yesterday, urging her that if they went too late, they wouldn't even make it in time for the lucky draw.
By now the driver was already waiting with him in the parking lot downstairs of Jin Cheng Building.
Fang Yuan had originally been thinking of coming in to notify Tian Xiaolin and the others to pause the meeting first.
Now seeing that Tian Xiaolin was hungry, it was just a coincidence.
Fang Yuan showed a gentle smile and invited Tian Xiaolin and Yang Zhen: "Since Miss Tian is hungry, why don't we go eat first? The meeting can't be finished in a short while; we'll come back to continue talking after we eat. This meal is my treat, also counting as thanks to Miss Tian and Sister Yang for their trust in our company."
"How could we be so embarrassed?"
After hearing this, Yang Zhen quickly waved her hand and subconsciously took on the professional attitude of an agent: "How is eating more important than a meeting? And we still have to go to the stage venue later, so we shouldn't trouble General Manager Fang..."
"Eat? Okay, okay! I want to go, I want to go!"
Before Yang Zhen had finished speaking, Tian Xiaolin jumped up from her chair as if she'd been injected with chicken blood.
Her eyes were bright as stars, and her voice rose quite a bit, looking like two different people compared to her listless appearance just now.
Tian Xiaolin looked at Fang Yuan with a face full of excitement, speaking in an impatient tone: "Thank you, General Manager Fang! My stomach has been hungry for a long time, shall we go now?"
Seeing her own artist disregarding her image like this, Yang Zhen couldn't help but frown.
"Xiaolin, how can we let General Manager Fang treat us to a meal? General Manager Fang took time out of her busy schedule to come for a meeting; how can we delay her time again? That's not proper! Besides, we still have to go to the stage venue later, and things over there are also quite important. Going from here to Food Street, then detouring to the venue—isn't that a waste of time?"
Tian Xiaolin, upon hearing this, couldn't help but secretly glance at Fang Yuan, seeing that the other person was looking at her with a smile at this moment.
She quickly threw a pleading look at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan immediately understood and said in a gentle voice: "It's alright, Sister Yang. I'm not that busy with work today, and there are professional people watching over the venue over there. If Sister Yang isn't relieved, you can go there first. I'll have the assistant say hello to the construction team over there later, and they'll receive you well. After Miss Tian and I finish eating, we'll go together. It just so happens that I originally planned to inspect the stage venue this afternoon anyway."
"Right, Sister Zhen Zhen, you go there first. You understand all those messy things better than I do. General Manager Fang and I will go there after we finish eating."
Tian Xiaolin moved close to Yang Zhen, holding her hand and acting coquettishly as she said.
Yang Zhen considered it for a moment.
She also knew that whether Tian Xiaolin went to the venue or not actually didn't matter.
She could handle the work confirmation over there by herself.
But on the other hand, she really couldn't rest assured leaving Tian Xiaolin alone with Fang Yuan.
This girl hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and just now she was slumped in the chair complaining about being hungry.
Now she was acting so excited, the anticipation in her eyes was almost overflowing.
It was obvious she wanted to take advantage of her not being there to eat her fill.
How could she be relieved?
But the work over at the venue was equally important; their schedule for this trip to Jiangcheng was packed.
To ensure the concert could proceed smoothly, many things needed her to personally confirm before she could be relieved.
Tian Xiaolin being carefree was one thing, but she, as her agent, couldn't be careless about such matters.
As for Tian Xiaolin, if she wasn't by her side, finding someone to watch over her would do.
"Alright then, but let them lead you there together."
Yang Zhen finally relented, then pointed to the two small assistants beside her.
Immediately after, she told the two small assistants: "When eating lunch at noon, you two watch over Xiaolin, don't let her eat too much at noon; she can't eat anything cold, spicy, or greasy."
"Thank you, Sister Zhen Zhen!"
Tian Xiaolin shouted happily with a beaming face, her voice full of excitement.
Although she knew that Yang Zhen having those two small assistants follow her was nothing more than wanting them to supervise her diet, to avoid her eating too many high-calorie things just to satisfy her cravings.
But she and these two assistants had actually already colluded in private, and their relationship was very good.
Usually they would take advantage of when agent Yang Zhen wasn't around to secretly give her all kinds of snacks to eat.
Even if they followed her, she could still eat a delicious meal at noon today.
Moreover, since General Manager Fang invited her to a meal, he definitely wouldn't take her to eat some unappetizing vegetable salad.
Most likely it was that small restaurant on Food Street he had recommended to her before.
Yesterday when she went there, even through the mask she could smell the tempting fragrance inside the shop.
Today she must definitely taste it properly.
Thinking of this, Tian Xiaolin couldn't help swallowing her saliva, her heart couldn't help but flutter with excitement again.
However she didn't show it, her face feigning a calm appearance.
She absolutely couldn't let her agent Yang Zhen see through her little thoughts.
In case she suddenly changed her mind later and said she wanted to come along for the meal, today's noon food plan would be ruined.
