She stared at the empty room and leftovers on the table, blinked her eyes a few tis, then pulled out a small mirror from her bag.
She looked at herself from left to right, believing that no matter how she looked, she did not seem like a naughty child telling lies.
Everyone had left, so of course Xia Wan’an could not just stay there alone, she quickly packed her belongings and left her booth.
Before leaving the Japanese restaurant, Xia Wan’an made a trip to the restroom, then she received a call from Xiaochen.
"Wan’an, are you okay?"
"I’m fine."
"Glad to hear that..." Xiaochen hesitated for a mont on the other end of the line, then finally said, "Wan’an, are you disappointed in ?"
"Huh?" Xia Wan’an was a bit perplexed by the question.
"Wan’an, you have been very kind to , but tonight...well, I wanted to stay and wait for you, but seeing everyone leave, I feared that my colleagues would have their opinions ...especially Gu’s girlfriend who kept watching, and I didn’t dare offend the leaders, so, Wan’an..."
Hearing this, Xia Wan’an finally understood, "You’re talking about this, it’s fine, Xiaochen, I don’t mind."
She really didn’t mind, not at all.
Most people in this world are like Xiaochen, they prefer to avoid troubleso matters. Most of the ti, she would do the sa herself.
Besides, she and Xiaochen rely had a very cordial working relationship. She didn’t have any reason to ask Xiaochen to do anything for her. To even receive this call from Xiaochen now, she was already quite pleased.
"That’s good. I was afraid you were upset", Xiaochen sounded significantly relieved
Seeing that Xiaochen was still a bit uneasy, Xia Wan’an reassured her, "Xiaochen, you can rest easy. The day I call the shots in Han Family Enterprises, I will promote you! So, stop overthinking, go ho, and relax!"
After hearing what Xia Wan’an said, Xiaochen laughed, "Haha, alright, I will wait for the day when you call the shots in Han Family Enterprises, rember to promote to Director of Design at that ti!"
"Look at you! By then you will be Boss Chen, not Director Chen!"
Xiaochen burst into even more laughter, but her laughter didn’t last long till she turned serious, "Wan’an, you should only joke about this with , don’t do so in front of other colleagues... You don’t know how they badmouthed you after leaving the booth. They said you were daydreaming, that you’ve been sleeping too much and it’s got you all confused, that you’re living in a dream where you’ve seen Anan’s works..."
Xia Wan’an: "..."
Xia Wan’an: "Alright, I will try to be more careful not to tell the truth in future."
"Wan’an, you’re teasing again!"
"Haha, alright, I need to call a car now."
After ending the call, Xia Wan’an opened the taxi booking app and discovered that there were more than fifty people in line for a ride.
Was everyone calling for a car?
Xia Wan’an walked out of the Japanese restaurant in bewildernt, only to realize that a heavy downpour had started.
No wonder it was so hard to get a cab...
Looking at the ti, Xia Wan’an realized it was pretty late. If she queued, she was afraid it would take half an hour to an hour.
While she was eating just now, she briefly skimd through so updates on her social dia and saw that her brother Xia Chen’an was eating in a nearby clubhouse. So, she opened WeChat and sent a ssage to him, "Oppa, your baby sister urgently needs a chauffeur!"
