Yang Li plopped back down on his chair and rubbed his face. He was glad that it sohow went well enough with his talk with Ying Yue He—he even found a temporary solution for the problem he was experiencing. The respirator should ought to do enough work. Hopefully. Not to ntion the amount of charm points he gained?
[ You Have Gained 5 Charisma Points ]
[ Total Charisma Points: 1150 Charm Points ]
It was minuscule compared to the one he earned during their date last night, but he was willing to grab it if it added to his total number of points. "Still, a eting with Director Wang?" He wasn't sure if exposing himself too much would be any good—even walking through the parking lot left him into a coughing ss, but there was no ifs.
He was attending the eting at 3pm.
And he just had to prepare himself. If he had been any more suspicious of events, he would assu that having the eting at Heavenly Jade Pavilion was a tad concerning, but it was all coincidence. Nothing more and nothing less.. The eting had already been made prior to this incident, and it just happened that he t up with the owner.
At least he was eting with a man and not a woman. He still hadn't exactly discovered what were the prerequisites to receiving a mission—but that wasn't his concern now. Yang Li sighed before pouring his attention back to work.

The hours went on and Ying Yue He had sowhat gotten over the incident last morning—she was wearing a surgical mask now, and she gave the man his respirator from earlier. Honestly, she wasn't that upset over him as she was embarrassed that she sneezed right in front of him… what if she'd made a weird face back then?
She was thinking too hard about this, wasn't she?
"Ah, good afternoon, Miss?"
A sudden voice caught her attention and made her look up in surprise. It was a young gentleman, a little younger than her but he was dressed to the nines. "Ah, yes, what can I do for you...Mister?" How did this guy get up here? She had been so imrsed in her thoughts that she didn't notice his presence? This was embarrassing.
"Ah, I'm Wang Liquin." The young man flashed her a smile. "I'm the grandson of Director Wang, due to certain circumstances—I'll be his proxy for this eting. I decided to co here and pick up CEO Li?" Though he seed a little younger than her, she couldn't help but notice that he was attractive. It was perhaps due to growing up from a good and wealthy family.
At least that was what she always assud.
Ying Yue He pursed her lips, checked the ti and then nodded, "I...I see." She motioned to one of the available couches, "Please have a seat, Mister Wang, I'll inform CEO Li about this." They hadn't opted to cancel the eting instead? It must be so kind of ergency if the Director wasn't able to co. Although the eting was at 3pm and they ca at 1pm.
She would shake this off, it was once again another opportunity to talk to her boss after all. But it was a business matter. And so after a quick knock, she went inside the office once again and ca across him busy. The man was currently imrsed in his work. His suit coat was currently laid on the back of his chair as he worked on his laptop… she almost didn't want to disturb him. "Ah, Mister Li?"
"Hmm?" He looked up for a mont.
With the respirator on his face, all she could see was his eyes—which were gorgeous, but she'd much prefer to see his entire face. But that was once again, another thing she was supposed to keep to herself.
"Director Wang won't make it today—"
"Ah, that's good."
Ying Yue He blinked at the man's words, but didn't question it. Even soone like them might dread attending etings but she continued, "However, his grandson, Mister Wang Liquin shall be taking over at 3pm?" She didn't want to be the bearer of bad news but this was also her job. "He's actually right now here though." Would they be waiting for two hours until their scheduled ti? It might have been fine to send an email regarding this instead of sending their grandson, actually.
"O-oh, I see." Yang Li coughed. "Well, perhaps you can invite them in now. If they'd like, I can adjust my schedule and have a eting right now."
"I'll let them know right away, Mister Li."
"Thank you."
= = =
Wang Liquin didn't want to be here at all, but he didn't have much of a choice, did he? He had to skip his own schedule, but it didn't matter as long as they didn't push around his grandfather and their family's company too much—sohow, the hold of the Liu Conglorate was still terrible. It didn't help at all that they were the subsidiary, he still couldn't understand why they hadn't been able to break free from them, but they were still here weren't they?
The young man was currently googling the CEO he was about to et to double-check if there was anything he could use to make their eting more pleasant. Any specific hobbies, mutual friends or things that they could start with.
But… there really wasn't anything.
No public or private social dia account at all. Which was weird in this ti and age, even Wang Liquin had an account—a deactivated one, but he still made one. How old was this CEO even supposed to be? He sighed inwardly.
He wasn't really looking forward to eting with them, but he would. He couldn't tell what was on the mind of the Liu Conglorate...wait, actually he had an idea.
The bastard probably wanted to acquire this corporation too.
But the Olympian Corporation was actually quite big in comparison to his family's own. He didn't bother searching for the exact numbers. Instead he switched to his Spotify app and plugged in his earbuds. The lodious voice of the singers cald his nerves. There was nothing like blasting Bai Minghua and Sun Aoyun's latest collab. There was going to be a live concert in this city for Bai Minghua soon if he could rember?
