Chapter 52: Get close to him and like him



Chapter 52 Get close to him and like him

The taxi stopped at the gate of a towering office building.

The woman in the back seat had a pretty face. She slowly turned her head, and her cold and distant eyes darkened as she looked at the huge logo on the top of the office building - the four big words "Oteng Group".

Her long, thick eyelashes trembled, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the project book in her hand.

She had long known that joining Haowei meant interacting with Ou Teng.

I just didn't expect that I would come to Outeng to discuss a project on the first day of my employment.

In the morning, Huang Yuanyuan received a work message from Sun Liangying on her mobile phone, asking An Ning to bring the latest project book to Outeng for review by Outeng's senior management, listen to their opinions, and make modifications.

The car stopped and An Ning was about to pay. She searched in her bag and realized that she had forgotten her wallet.

She took out her cell phone to pay, and just as she got off the car, her phone rang.

"Sister Zhao, what's wrong?"

"Miss An, you left your wallet at home." Zhao Li said with a smile on the other end of the phone. "Xianxian saw that her mother's wallet was at home and insisted on delivering it to you. Do you think it's convenient for you? I'll take Xianxian to deliver it to you."

An Ning glanced at the time and saw that it was still early, with still an hour before the agreed meeting time.

"Then thank you, Sister Zhao. Please take a taxi with Xianxian." An Ning said, "Come directly to Oteng Group. I'll wait for you downstairs."

It was lunchtime. An Ning hadn't had time to buy breakfast when she went out in the morning, so she was a little hungry.

Afraid that she would not be in good condition during the meeting with the other party's senior management, she hung up the phone and went to the nearby coffee shop to buy a sandwich to fill her stomach.

......

"Jiang Yao."

A man's deep voice came from the president's office.

The door was immediately pushed open, and Jiang Yao came in and asked hurriedly, "Boss Lu, what can I do for you?"

Lu Xiyan was reading a document without looking up. "What's my schedule this afternoon?"

Jiang Yao thought quickly in his mind, "You have a multinational meeting at 4 pm. Other than that, you don't have any other plans today."

"knew."

Jiang Yao was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Lu, someone from Haowei will be here later, and Mr. Li from the project department will be there to coordinate. Mr. Li wants to ask you what you think of the cooperation with Haowei?"

After all, President Lu had reviewed Haowei's project book before, so whether this cooperation will be successful or not depends on the president's opinion.

Hearing this, Lu Xiyan paused while signing. He looked up and asked, "Who is the person in charge?"

Jiang Yao quickly picked up his phone and looked through it, then suddenly took a breath.

"It's... An, An Ning... Miss An."

When Jiang Yao saw this name, he felt that something bad was going to happen.

Every time Miss An appears, nothing goes well for Mr. Lu.

"Let her come up directly. From now on, I will directly review Haowei's project documents."

Jiang Yao was stunned by the man's sudden words.

"Ah?" Jiang Yao thought he had misheard. He thought President Lu would ask the other company to replace a person in charge, but he didn't expect that he would actually do the liaison personally.

Why would their CEO be required to coordinate the project of a small company like Haowei?

What kind of luck has Hao Wei had recently?

Looking up at the man's cold gaze, Jiang Yao quickly agreed, "Okay, Mr. Lu."

Lu Xiyan glanced at the time on his watch and said, "Let's go downstairs to eat."

......

The first floor of Oteng Group.

The man came out of the elevator and just walked into the lobby.

"uncle!"

A childish voice rang out in the huge hall.

Lu Xiyan felt that the voice was familiar. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a stumbling little figure running towards him.

"Uncle! You're here too!"

An Xian ran up to Lu Xiyan with an innocent smile and a pair of glass beads sparkling.

Jiang Yao recognized him immediately. Wasn't this the unlucky guy who bumped into Mr. Lu in the hospital that day and wiped his saliva on Mr. Lu's pants?

Lu Xiyan looked down at the little boy standing in front of him. He was fair-skinned and wearing a cool set of shorts and a shirt.

When I looked at him with a smile, my eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

Whenever Lu Xiyan saw him, a sentence popped up in his mind: This kid was born to An Ning and her ex-husband!

He hated this kid for a reason.

But, looking at his clear eyes and innocent smile, he couldn't hate him.

I even wanted to tease him.

"I'm sorry, sir!" Zhao Li hurried over to apologize. "The child probably just feels close to you and likes you. I'm sorry to have delayed your work, right?"

Close to him, like him?

Lu Xiyan suddenly felt a little better.

He squatted down, looked into An Xian's sparkling eyes, and asked gently, "Hello again, little ghost."

"My name is An Xian, not Xiao Gui." Little An Xian seriously corrected his address to him, reached out for his hand, and held onto one of his fingers with his small palm. "Uncle, do you work here too?"

Lu Xiyan glanced at his white and tender little hand, without pulling his fingers away, with a rare gentleness on his face, "Well, uncle works here, and you, how did you come here?"

Jiang Yao was more surprised to see the tenderness on the man's face than to see the sun rising from the west.

Listening to the man's words, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, it's not just working here, this place is all yours!

It turns out that it is just fooling a three-year-old child.

"My mother lost her wallet at home, so I went to give her the wallet."

Speaking of her mother, Xiao Anxian thought of her mother's words of advice, and suddenly let go of Lu Xiyan's fingers, and said in a low tone, "Mom asked me to wait for her here."

The warm and soft touch on his hand left, and Lu Xiyan smiled gently, "Your mother should be here soon."

Hearing this, Zhao Li hurriedly said, "Sir, are you a colleague of An Xian's mother? An Xian's mother asked us to wait for her here, and I wondered if she was busy with work."

As she spoke, she took out a pink wallet from her bag and said, "I have to take An Xian to the hospital to see her grandmother. Could you please pass this wallet to An Xian's mother?"

Lu Xiyan stood up and stared at the pink wallet. He wanted to refuse, but his fingers subconsciously took it.

"Thank you, sir."

Zhao Li thanked him and took An Xian's hand, "Let's go, An Xian."

"Goodbye, uncle."

Xiao Anxian looked at Lu Xiyan and said goodbye to him politely, but for some reason he felt a little reluctant to leave, and his eyes and nose were a little red.

Zhao Li pulled him towards the door. Xiao Anxian looked back after taking a few steps.

Seeing his reluctant look, Lu Xiyan raised his hand and said goodbye to him.

It was not until he saw his figure walk out of the door that he slightly curled the corners of his lips.

This kid is quite interesting.

More conscientious than his mother.

......

The pink wallet is only the size of a palm and stands out on the large black desk.

Lu Xiyan felt that he was sick. Even though he was looking at the documents, his eyes were always attracted by this broken wallet intentionally or unintentionally.

The owner of the wallet hasn't arrived yet, and there are still fifteen minutes until the agreed time.

He reached out, picked up the wallet, opened the drawer, threw it in, and closed it, all in one go.

Out of sight, out of mind.

What's so good about a broken wallet? It's just like her, an eyesore.

The pink wallet was locked in a dark drawer, and the person who was looking at the documents became even more confused.

Lu Xiyan closed the file and opened the drawer.

The small wallet feels light and weightless in my hand.

Driven by strong curiosity, he opened the wallet and took a look.

Sure enough, there wasn't much money, just a few red bills and some change, not even a bank card.

A dry wallet is emptier than a dog's stomach that has been hungry for several days.

Lu Xiyan chuckled and was about to close his wallet when he suddenly saw a white corner sticking out from the wallet compartment.

It looks like a photo.

His deep eyes were tinged with curiosity, and his slender fingers pinched a corner of the white edge.

With a slight pull, a photo came into view.
