Jianyu then understood what was in that bag. When you get a chance as grand as this, then only talking doesn't help. You have to practically prove them as well.
In his mind, he gave her a thumbs up.
Huian was taken aback.
I never thought that this will even cross her mind. I thought she would think that she won't need to prove herself because Jianyu himself has chosen her.
Nana was feeling really nervous. It was exam ti.
"That's great. We will try them."
"Okay." And Nana started taking out all her dishes one by one.
She laid out five dishes sweet and sour fish, fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, spring rolls and chocolate-coffee cake as the dessert.
The aroma instantly filled the whole office. It slled so delectable.
"Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, and Chen Jianyu, please try the dishes."
Chen Jianyu was the first one to dig in. Obviously, he knew how well she can cook, so he didn't stand on any ceremony.
Huian had to admit that they looked very savory and appetizing.
Jinhai and Huian tasted all the dishes one by one. And clearly, they were impressed. Even Jinhai's cold face cracked a little. Huian didn't want to but was unable to hide her satisfaction. It was only for taste testing but all three could not help but take bites after bites.
"Mmm..so delicious!", Jianyu praised.
Nana carefully gauged their reactions and ca to the conclusion that they liked her food. Phew! I think there is hope.
Huian realized that she was supposed to give the decision. Taste-testing was already over a long ti ago. She felt embarrassed. She was not a foodie and it surprised her that she could not stop herself.
She cleared her throat and said, "Dear, what do you think?"
"En. It's good", was the only reply.
"Yes. I also liked it very much. It was really delicious. Now I understood why both Jianyu and Aunt keep praising you. You are truly worthy of all the praise."
"See, I told you. You won't regret it.", smiled Jianyu.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu. Mrs. Liu.", Nana smiled.
"Alright. I don't think there is any need to think about this any further. I am now sure that all the guests will love your food. So yes, we give this contract to you. Okay, dear?"
"En."
Nana was over the clouds. Her first big contract. She won it.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Liu. Mrs. Liu. This really ans so much to . Thank you so much for giving the chance."
Jianyu said, "C'mon now, you have earned it."
They spent so ti in negotiating all contract details and pay. It had been forty-five minutes when the eting got over.
Huian then received a call. She talked for a few minutes and said, "Dear, it's the venue manager. I have to go there now. There are so things that need my personal supervision."
"Okay.", he smiled.
"Jianyu. Will you take there? It's on your way right?"
"Ah..but Nana..", he hesitated.
"Oh don't worry about . I won't be going to Natsukashi directly. I need to take a detour. So you can go ahead."
"Thanks, Nana. I will leave now. Again, it's a pleasure working with you."
"Sa here Mrs. Liu."
"Bye dear." She kissed him on his cheek and left.
Now only Nana and Jinhai were left. She rembered their conversation and she no more wanted to dwell on it.
"SoMr. Liu. I will be taking my leave as well."
In a hurry, she left. She got a little farther till she realized she did not have her phone with her.
My phone? Where is it? Oh no! I forgot about it in his office. Stupid Nana! You finally ca out of there. Now I will have to go back again.
She ca in front of his office door and knocked.
"Co in."
She slowly opened the door and ca inside.
"I'm sorry Mr. Liu for disturbing you, but I forgot my phone here. I will just take it and quickly leave."
He stared at her.
She found her phone on the couch. There it is!
"Got it, Mr. Liu. I will leave-"
"You should be aware of your position.", he suddenly said.
"Huh?", Nana couldn't understand. But she saw the sa expression on his face just before when Jianyu and Mrs. Liu had entered distaste.
"Wasn't forgetting your phone an excuse to co back again and et ?"
"Excuse? Why would I make any excuse?"
I want to get out of here as soon as possible. Why would I want to lengthen my stay?
"Even before that, wasn't tripping at the elevator door also your idea to make hold you?"
"I don't understand Mr. Liu."
"Weren't you trying to seduce ?"
Nana froze.
"First you ca to know that maybe I work under the CEO so you tried to extra butter up. And then you knew I am the CEO myself. So, didn't you plan all this?"
She turned pale. She slowly raised her eyes to et his. There it was the sa distaste. Was that what he thought at that ti?
She was shaking all over. Again those mories flashed in her mind. She wanted to refute but not a word ca out of her mouth.
'I-I'm sorry.", was what she could only utter and she ran away.
