After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him Chapter 289: 287 The Old House Caught Fire Beyond Rescue
Chapter 289: Chapter 287 The Old House Caught Fire Beyond Rescue…
Xu Zhenzhen organized the docunts in her hands, “All the docunts are here, including the issues to be discussed this ti.”
She had been fully prepared for the business trip ever since she received the assignnt, and she could handle it alone even without Xia Wenqing.
If it hadn’t been for the other party insisting that their leadership must attend, there would have been no need for him to go out of his way.
How outstanding Xu Zhenzhen was, Xia Wenqing certainly knew.
It was precisely because he knew that he was even more anxious.
The car drove for a while longer and soon arrived at the restaurant they had agreed upon earlier.
The people they were to cooperate with were waiting in a private room of the restaurant for Xia Wenqing and Xu Zhenzhen.
As soon as they saw the newcors, a group of people warmly welcod them.
The man standing at the forefront, in a suit, was blond and blue-eyed.
Yet when he spoke, it was in fluent Chinese.
“Mr. Xia, I’ve heard much about you,” the man said, his gaze then turning to Xu Zhenzhen, who was behind Xia Wenqing.
His eyes and brows smiled, seemingly having a good relationship with Xia Wenqing.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wenqing just glanced indifferently at the man before simply introducing, “This is the assistant assigned to by Song Group, her na is Xu Zhenzhen.”
The man nodded imdiately, smiling warmly at Xu Zhenzhen, “So you are Secretary Xu, hello, hello, my na is Wales, I am…”
He was just about to warmly co forward for a handshake when Xia Wenqing coldly said, “The conditions we proposed earlier, how have you discussed them?”
Wales was clearly taken aback, but then looked at Xia Wenqing again, all smiles.
“We can discuss the conditions slowly, co, co, let’s eat first.” He seed not at all perturbed by Xia Wenqing’s attitude earlier, warmly pulling him to sit down at the table in the private room.
Xu Zhenzhen naturally followed closely behind Xia Wenqing, sitting next to him.
The assistant following behind Wales curiously leaned over and whispered, “Hadn’t we already settled everything earlier?”
Previously, Wales’s client had so disputes with Song Group.
This matter was originally trivial, so it had always been handled by his junior assistant.
He had always been dealing with Song Group’s lawyers or assistants until a few days ago, when the situation suddenly underwent a drastic change.
The person negotiating with him suddenly beca a famously accomplished international lawyer.
Thinking their client faced great trouble, he imdiately inford Wales.
He had always been Wales’s assistant and naturally knew of his acquaintance with Xia Wenqing; the two seed to have been good friends since their student days.
They later made a na for themselves in the legal field together.
To the junior assistant’s surprise, they had resolved the matter in just a few words.
He had thought this trip was rely for a simple al, followed by a signature to conclude it, but why were they discussing it again now?
Wilson looked at the junior assistant, chuckled lightly, his eyes and brows filled with a strong gossipy air, “You, you’re still too young; give it another two years, and you’ll understand.”
The junior assistant was even more confused; he had already graduated from university, was not young anymore.
Wilson, seeing the almost written-on-the-face expression of the junior assistant and looking at certain people maintaining an impeccable deanor, couldn’t help but marvel.
This small case could alarm big shots like Xia Wenqing, it must be no trivial matter.
He ca just out of curiosity, and now it seems it was not in vain.
He and Xia Wenqing knew each other from school, and this guy was quite the celebrity in their departnt, but oddly enough, he was like a monk, completely indifferent to anything but law.
He never thought he’d see such a different side of Xia Wenqing in his lifeti.
Seeing him so composed now, he couldn’t help but want to stir up so trouble.
Wales cleared his throat lightly, “Co on, we haven’t seen each other for a long ti, how about a drink? What do you say?”
Xia Wenqing’s eyebrows raised slightly, almost revealing “up to no good” from his radiant smile.
Xia Wenqing didn’t have many close friends at school, Wales was one, but this guy was only a “bad influence” at best.
He originally wanted to refuse outright, but then heard Wales say to Xu Zhenzhen, “Co on, Assistant Xu, lift your glass.”
As he said that, he even winked at Xu Zhenzhen.
Now Xu Zhenzhen, who initially wanted to pretend to be invisible, had no choice but to bravely lift her glass.
But the next second, the glass in her hand was taken by Xia Wenqing, who drank from it and then glanced at Xu Zhenzhen, “You’re driving later.”
Xu Zhenzhen’s lips moved slightly, and ultimately, she obediently nodded.
Now Wales’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his mischievous expression just turned towards Xia Wenqing, only to et the latter’s “keep ssing around and I’ll kill you” look.
Wales sighed helplessly in his heart, what a pity.
So everything proceeded normally from there.
After the al, they went to a KTV room.
Just when Wales thought there was no more drama to watch, he saw Xia Wenqing propping up his chin, looking sickly as he leaned back on the sofa.
The dim light, casting on his face, had lost the previous seriousness and business-like appearance.
And Xu Zhenzhen, sitting nearby, also noticed this and cautiously approached Xia Wenqing, asking, “Second Brother, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Xia Wenqing gently turned his head, with his thin lips drawing closer to Xu Zhenzhen, noticing her lustrous earlobes, his Adam’s apple gently bobbed, “I think I have a headache, feeling quite uncomfortable.”
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyebrows instantly furrowed, “Do you need to buy you so hangover dicine?”
She rembered Xia Wenqing hadn’t drunk much, could it be he can’t hold his liquor?
“No need, just take back to my hotel room later, it’s in the building next door.” After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes.
Xu Zhenzhen sat by his side, perfectly positioned to view his handso profile and slightly rugged Adam’s apple.
Realizing what she was staring at, Xu Zhenzhen imdiately turned her head away.
God, this man is just too bewitching.
As she was thinking of how to divert her attention, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.
Xia Wenqing had leaned on her shoulder, and seeing his slightly furrowed brow, he seed to be in quite so discomfort.
Thinking so, Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but shift closer, trying to make Xia Wenqing as comfortable as possible.
Observing all this from a distance, Wales couldn’t help but tsk in amazent, even his assistant beside him was a bit surprised, “Mr. Wales, isn’t Mr. Xia’s alcohol tolerance usually very good? How co he feels so unwell after just one drink? Should we take him to see a doctor?”
Wales stiffly turned his head towards his assistant, his lips twitching slightly, “Probably not needed, he’s dealing with old issues that are beyond help…”
