Xia Xi walked into the suite. In order not to give Xu Yanfeng a chance to change the subject, she immediately took out her computer from her bag and put on a working attitude: "Where is the conference room? I need to use the projector."

"Don't be in a hurry." Xu Yanfeng walked to her side and found her pretending to be serious a little funny.

Xia Xi raised her wrist and looked at her watch, making a very obvious gesture to remind him to pay attention to the time: "You said it was only an hour and a half, and you were delayed just now. It's only a little over an hour."

As for why she was delayed, she thought Xu Yanfeng knew it very well. He knew that she was going to come over to discuss business at 12:30, but he actually took a shower at this time. She didn't know what he was thinking.

"I haven't eaten yet and just ordered some food. Mr. Xia, you won't let the client listen to your explanation on an empty stomach, right?" Xu Yanfeng walked slowly to the table, picked up the purified water on the table, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.

Xia Xi curved her lips and showed a formal smile: "Thank you, I don't drink."

Xu Yanfeng withdrew his hand and took a sip himself: "By the way, has Xia Gong had lunch yet?"

Xia Xi was speechless. She had rushed here from the company, so how could she have time to eat?

But she certainly couldn't tell the truth.

"have eaten."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach seemed to be against her and made a protesting sound. Xia Xi listened to the "gurgling" sound coming from her stomach and felt so embarrassed that she wanted to run away.

She slowly raised her eyes, and sure enough, Xu Yanfeng glanced at her with a playful look, as if saying: Is someone lying without thinking?

Xia Xi felt even more embarrassed, and her face was burning.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door, easing the suffocating atmosphere. Xu Yanfeng went to open the door, and the hotel waiter came in with a food cart. After asking Xu Yanfeng's opinion, he placed the food he ordered on the table.

"Please enjoy your meal."

After the waiter left, Xu Yanfeng and Xia Xi were the only ones left in the suite.

Xu Yanfeng was the first to sit down at the table. He glanced at Xia Xi, who was standing there like a door god, and said, "I have extra food. If you don't mind, Mr. Xia, come and eat with me."

Xia Xi refused him without thinking: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. We'll talk after you finish eating."

Xu Yanfeng leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of his chair. He stared at Xia Xi for a moment, smiling calmly and indifferently, "Mr. Xia is so afraid of getting close to me. Am I a flood or a beast?"

Before Xia Xi could say anything, Xu Yanfeng continued, "You were the one who told me to separate work and personal matters, and only talk about work. I've taken your words to heart. This is a work setting. What's wrong with you having dinner with your clients?"

Smoking and inhaling?

What the hell...

Xia Xi couldn't argue with him, so she made an excuse to go to the bathroom to wash her hands and come back later.

She hid in the bathroom, leaning against the washbasin, holding her phone and sending a message to Liang Yuan: "What does it mean to smoke and inhale lungs?"

During lunch break, Liang Yuan happened to be eating. He was stunned when he saw Xia Xi's message, then he smiled and asked her, "Who told you that?"

Xia Xi: "Some people said that he smoked my words into his lungs. I didn't understand."

Liang Yuan was very good at grasping the key points: "Him? A man. This guy wants to seduce you?"

Xia Xi: "...Is this the point, big sister?"

Liang Yuan stopped rambling and answered her seriously, "He meant to carve your words into the cigarette and inhale it into his lungs, which means he remembered your words very well. I told you to go online more often, but you didn't listen. Our Ganlin's earliest internet celebrity is out!"

It is no joke to say that Xia Xi is Ganlin's earliest internet celebrity. Back then, her family ran a restaurant and a reporter came to interview her without prior notice. It was a surprise interview. Xia Xi was sitting in the lobby eating with other employees at the time and was accidentally caught on camera. Later, the interview video was broadcast on a local TV station, and Xia Xi became an overnight sensation in Ganlin and became the living signboard of Peishan Hotel.

Liang Yuan remembered that it was during the summer vacation. Countless people went to the restaurant to eat just for Xia Xi. The number of customers in those two months was unprecedentedly large.

Xia Xi was very upset at that time and complained to her good friends: I am really fed up. I, the second lady of Peishan Hotel, have become a gorilla watched by people in the zoo. I am almost depressed.

Xia Xi stopped chatting with her and washed her hands before leaving. Xu Yanfeng remained silent, waiting for her.

The last time I had dinner with Xu Yanfeng, Zhou Du, Lu Mingji, and two little kids were there. Although the atmosphere wasn't very harmonious, at least it wasn't like it is now, where I felt like I was being roasted by a fire and was in extreme agony.

Xia Xi quickly filled her stomach, put down her knife and fork, and wiped her mouth with a tissue: "I'm done, you take your time."

Xu Yanfeng didn't delay any longer and ate faster. Later, he went to the conference room to turn on the projector. Xia Xi followed closely behind him, turned on the computer, plugged in the USB drive, connected it to the projector, and showed Xu Yanfeng the renderings of the villa's decoration.

In the professional field, Xia Xi is never vague and never thinks about anything else. He is only focused on work.

She held the remote control pen in her hand, changed the position, enlarged the picture, and showed Xu Yanfeng the details.

Xu Yanfeng sat at the bottom of the conference table, one hand clenched into a fist and resting against his chin. He wasn't looking at the projection screen, but at Xia Xi. She was wearing a sky-blue shirt with the sleeves folded up, revealing her slender white arms. Two untied straps, one long and one short, dangled from her collar. A small, delicate red diamond adorned her neck, a finishing touch. Her loose, floor-length trousers barely covered her instep, revealing only the tips of her shoes.

Xia Xi glanced over inadvertently and found that Xu Yanfeng was not watching what she was demonstrating. She had her arms folded across her chest and a stern face, just like a teacher who caught a student not paying attention in class and was ready to explode at any time.
