However, Ling Hanyi, who was sitting next to Nangong Yu, did not glance at Nangong Yu thoughtfully.

If he misheard, the notification sound just now seemed to have come from Nangong Yu.

Immediately afterwards...

"Ding-dong—"

"Ding-dong—"

"Ding-dong—"

Three notification sounds rang out in quick succession.

Seeing that Nangong Yu remained silent, the crowd below began to whisper among themselves.

Just then, Nangong Yu frowned slightly, and then, in front of everyone, openly took out his phone from his pocket and opened WeChat.

[Song Yuli: Are you busy?]

[Song Yuli: Why don't you reply to my messages? [Feeling wronged] [Feeling wronged]]

[Song Yuli: Are you still angry?]

[Song Yuli: I know I was wrong. I misunderstood you. I'm sorry.]

The crowd below was utterly astonished.

Wow, it's surprising that their CEO is the one playing on his phone.

Seeing Nangong Yu staring blankly at his phone, Ling Hanyi narrowed his eyes and then quietly snuggled closer to Nangong Yu.

When Nangong Yu saw these messages, his dark eyes flickered slightly. He noticed Ling Hanyi's actions, glanced at Ling Hanyi lightly, then casually put his phone aside, clasped his hands together, rested his chin on his hand, and looked at the crowd below with a blank expression. His thin lips parted slightly, and his tone was cool.

"Time's up. I wonder if anyone here has any good ideas about that wasteland in G City?"

Everyone: "..."

Upon hearing this, the top executives of Quanyu Group all lowered their heads, pretending to be ostriches.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Yu's thin lips curled into a dangerous smile: "Heh, when we bought that land, you were all so eager. Now that we've got it, don't you have any good ideas?"

Everyone: "..."

"Smack—"

Nangong Yu slammed his hand on the table expressionlessly, causing everyone below to involuntarily shudder.

"Ring ring—"

Just then, a pleasant ringtone came from Nangong Yu's phone.

Nangong Yu frowned slightly, reached out and took the call, only to find it was from Song Yuli.

His deep eyes flickered slightly. After a moment's hesitation, Nangong Yu pressed the answer button.

"Hello."

As soon as the call connected, Song Yuli's aggrieved voice came through: "Nangong Yu, why don't you reply to my messages?"

At this moment, the conference room was completely silent, and Song Yuli's aggrieved voice was openly exposed to everyone's ears.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

Holy crap, it's a woman!

After exchanging glances, they both pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

Nangong Yu gave them a warning look, then said expressionlessly, "I'm in a meeting."

Hearing Nangong Yu's unusually cold voice, Song Yu felt even more aggrieved: "You're lying. If you're in a meeting, how could you possibly answer the phone?"

Nangong Yu: "...I am the CEO."

Song Yuli said confidently, "What's wrong with being the president? As the president, you should set an example. You absolutely cannot touch your phone or make calls during meetings."

Nangong Yu: "..."

Okay, you win.

Why hadn't he noticed before that Song Yuli could be so unreasonable?

His thin lips curved slightly, revealing a doting smile that even he himself didn't realize.

The crowd below was even more horrified by this.

Good heavens, it's so weird that their CEO would actually smile like that.
