"Hello Manager He, I am Lan Qianqian, responsible for this collaboration project."
Manager He, finally snapping out of his daze, thought that Liu Ruo had indeed sent an exquisite beauty this time.
Manager He, in his late forties, with a potbelly, a large head, and beady eyes, looked shifty. He gazed at the delicate, fair hand Lan Qianqian extended, reaching out to grasp her fair, slender fingers. Her hand was truly soft.
"Manager He, shall we sit down and discuss the project?"
Lan Qianqian's brow furrowed for a moment as she noticed Manager He’s hand not letting go, but she then put on a smile again.
"Alright, alright, let's sit and talk." As he spoke, he gave her hand another squeeze.
This time, Lan Qianqian felt truly disgusted, but thinking of the collaboration, she suppressed it and continued discussing the project details.
Manager He listened to the pleasant voice by his ear, his hand unconsciously moving under the table to caress her slender legs, which had haunted his dreams. Just as he was about to move his hand upwards, kAnshuWu.ξà
His wrist was grabbed, and with a crisp "snap," he was sent flying.
"Ah!" Manager He, clutching his broken hand, writhed on the ground howling like a ghost.
"Which bastard dares to ruin my good..." Before he could finish, he looked up and saw the person who had arrived, and his voice immediately died down.
He then put on a fawning smile, "President, why are you here? Is there something I've done that displeased you?"
"Li An, notify the HR department. I don't want to see this person again."
"Yes." Li An could have had a good life, receiving a high salary from the Xuan Group. But by provoking the President, finding another job would be difficult. No one in S City dared to hire him.
At this moment, Xuan Mohan turned his gaze towards Lan Qianqian.
The woman opposite him wore a black professional suit that made her skin appear even fairer. Her long, dark, thick hair was tied back in a low ponytail, accentuating her petite, cute face. Her cherry lips and large, bright eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, made Xuan Mohan feel as if his heart had skipped a beat.
Compared to Xuan Mohan, Lan Qianqian wasn't thinking as much. After a brief moment of surprise, she said, "President Xuan, thank you just now."
"Weren't we discussing collaboration?" Xuan Mohan was the first to sit down and gestured for her to do the same.
"Huh?" Before Lan Qianqian could react, Xuan Mohan had already taken the documents from her hand.
What's more, Xuan Mohan hadn't even looked at the contract content and had directly signed it... signed it?
Lan Qianqian had to admit she was a little stunned. "Uh..."
So, what was supposed to happen next?
"Please sit first," Xuan Mohan said, attempting to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
"Oh, oh."
"Miss Lan's child is very well-behaved."
Xuan Mohan crossed his legs, placed his hands on his knees, and said lazily.
Li An, seeing his President appear so calm, couldn't help but think to himself.
A child? Wasn't this topic a bit of a leap? She felt her mind was a bit scattered right now.
"President Xuan, have you met my child?" Lan Qianqian asked vaguely.
A smile curved Xuan Mohan's lips. He finally understood where that little girl got her occasional absentmindedness from.
Lan Qianqian was already feeling a bit lost, and seeing Xuan Mohan's smiling face at this moment, she felt her vision blur for a moment.
"This President of the Xuan Group is indeed handsome, absolutely the most handsome man she has ever seen, especially when he smiles. Probably no little girl could resist it."
As she thought this, she heard his magnetic voice from across the table:
"Yes, we met at the airport."
The airport? "Tongtong just saw a very handsome uncle, I like him a bit." She remembered now. She had just returned to the country then, and Tongtong had mentioned an uncle. She hadn't expected it to be the President of the Xuan Group?
"Did the little girl cause any trouble for President Xuan?"
"No, the little girl is very cute, I like her very much."
After all, Lan Qianqian wasn't that old yet, and she lacked some social graces. Hearing such an outstanding man say he liked her daughter made her ears feel a little warm.
Xuan Mohan, seeing Lan Qianqian's flushed ears, felt that this girl was even cuter than the little girl. She didn't seem like the mother of two children; she looked more like a fresh graduate.
"However, I require that the jewelry design for this collaboration be entirely handled by Miss Lan."
Lan Qianqian looked up in surprise, "President Xuan, I lack experience and fear I may not be up to the task."
"It's nothing. I believe in Miss Lan's ability, and besides, Miss Lan should know that if this is done well, it will only benefit you and not harm you."
Lan Qianqian certainly knew. This was her first collaboration with the Xuan Group, the world's number one enterprise. If she could deliver a perfect outcome, it would be a leap forward in her life. She would no longer lack resources, and many people would seek her out. This was something she wouldn't even have dared to dream of before.
"Thank you, President Xuan. I will do my utmost and will not disappoint you," Lan Qianqian promised excitedly. With such a great opportunity, she could only succeed and not fail.
"If you wish to thank me, Miss Lan, why not bring those two children over more often."
Looking at Lan Qianqian's eyes brimming with smiles, Xuan Mohan was momentarily lost in thought. Her smile was truly infectious.
"Will it disturb President Xuan?" Lan Qianqian hadn't expected him to say that.
"No."
He glanced at his watch, "It's almost lunchtime. I'll treat Miss Lan to a meal."
"No, no, I should be the one treating President Xuan."
"When dining with a woman, the man pays. That is the demeanor a gentleman should possess."
Li An didn't know what to say anymore. Was this still his President? His President rarely spoke to women, and when he did, it was only for business collaborations, let alone dining. Except for... Miss Ji.
