Chi Yao pretended to be calm and replied, "No, not at all."
"If it’s not hot, why is President Chi sweating profusely?"
As Chi Yao spoke, he raised his hand and actually touched his forehead. Only when he saw that his fingertips were dry did he realize that Xia Wan’an was playing a joke on him.
Before Chi Yao could respond, Xia Wan’an laughed and spoke again: "President Chi, I was just joking with you. You don’t even know whether you’re sweating or not, it seems like you’re a bit too nervous..."
After a pause, Xia Wan’an’s lips curved up in a more beautiful arc: "I’m just wondering, what is President Chi so nervous about?"
"Nothing, I have nothing to be nervous about. The eting has just gone on too long. I’m rather craving a smoke." Chi Yao, feeling extrely aggrieved, could only suppress his frustration and continue speaking amiably playing along with Xia Wan’an’s words.
He never would have thought that he, personally taking action, would be thwarted by a young girl who was younger than his own daughter.
He’s not stupid, everything that just happened had made things clear for him. He had set a trap for her, yet she had turned it around and used it on him instead. Chen Wenwen was a smokescreen, and what was even more unexpected was that she was a smokescreen that had already made a deal with Xia Wan’an.
Her purpose of doing this was to protect the real spokesperson - Qin Shujian.
Reluctantly as he might be, he had to admit that he had underestimated this young girl and that he had been too overconfident this ti.
This girl was not just a pretty face. She had seen through his intentions right from the start, allowed him to waste his energy, not to ntion the large sum of money he wasted on the previous spokesperson. Even more crucial was that he had lost Zhou Shan, a personnel he had inserted in the Han Family Corporation’s Marketing Departnt, and considering the previous incident with Fan Ming, this girl had already cost him two of his people!
Xia Wan’an, who was unaware of what was going through Chi Yao’s mind, casually responded with an elongated "Oh" after hearing his words. She then averted her gaze and chose not to engage any further with Chi Yao.
People said Chi Yao was an old fox, and he truly was one. He had left every matter to Zhou Shan to handle, ensuring no traces were left on him, and she could not do anything about that.
But it was alright; Xia Wan’an did not believe that this old fox could forever keep his tail hidden. There would co a day when he would slip up, and when that day ca, she would take him down for good!
A glint of frost flashed in Xia Wan’an’s eyes, but she swiftly covered it up with an innocent look and turned to Han Jingnian: "I have nothing else to say. There’s only an hour left before the ad shoot, I should be heading over to the site."
Han Jingnian gave a slight nod, acknowledging Xia Wan’an with a light "hmm," then turned to Zhang Te’s assistant.
The assistant, understanding Han Jingnian’s silent cue quickly, said, "If no one has any objections, shall we conclude the eting?"
...
After the eting ended, Xia Wan’an held Qin Shujian’s hand and left the conference room. Han Jingnian, who was following behind them, kept his gaze firmly on the two girls’ linked hands.
When they were nearing the restroom, Xia Wan’an leaned towards Qin Shujian’s ear and said: "Right, you should go ahead to the shooting site first. There’s no more ti to waste here. You need to do makeup and try-on outfits when you arrive. I want to go to the restroom. We’ll et up at the shooting site later, alright?"
