Sang Yuwan's pupils contracted, and his heart pounded faster.
She glanced at Rong Zhi, got up, and walked towards the desk.
Rong Zhi, being sensible, stepped away.
A voice came from behind.
"Second Brother."
Excitement, unease, tenderness.
All of Sang Yuwan's emotions were contained in that one sound.
Rong Zhi paused slightly, his gaze darkened instantly, and his features became more cold and sharp.
Sang Yuwan added, "Second brother, I believe in you. Don't worry, I'll handle this..."
Rong Zhi's chest heaved slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, disappearing in an instant.
The person she trusted most in this world was Ming Zhan.
And the person he distrusts the least is him.
Rong Zhi's brow twitched, his heart sinking deeper and deeper. After a few seconds, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Sang Yuwan turned her executive chair around, her back to the office door, her eyes swirling with complex emotions.
Ten minutes before Shen Qianjie entered, she received a message from a paparazzi.
The paparazzi asked him if he would be willing to buy Ming Zhan and Bo Xinglan's bed photos.
Fixed price.
Eighty million.
If she doesn't want to buy it, the other party will post the photos on the media first thing tomorrow morning.
This is clearly blatant extortion.
Although Sang Yuwan was not the main character in the bed photos, the man and woman in the photos all had a great relationship with her.
Mingzhan was her childhood sweetheart, the white moonlight that would make her heart ache whenever she thought of him.
Bo Xinglan is the daughter of the Bo family, and as the new head of the family, she has an inescapable responsibility for this.
Eighty million is not a problem for her now.
But the other party's subsequent actions infuriated her.
Just now, Mingzhan, who is far away in France, also received this photo.
His first reaction was to explain to Sang Yuwan.
"Wan'er, thank you..."
Ming Zhan's voice was hoarse, clearly caused by being extremely agitated.
Sang Yuwan curled her lips slightly, trying to make her tone sound calm, "Second Brother, there's no need for thanks between us."
Ming Zhan was silent for a few seconds, then his voice became even lower and hoarse, "Wan'er, wait for me to come back."
This single sentence contains endless longing and suppressed emotions.
Sang Yuwan's eyes immediately reddened, and her breathing became erratic. "Second Brother, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Ming Zhan hung up the phone hastily.
Sang Yuwan slowly removed the phone from her ear, her pretty face growing increasingly tense.
Was Ming Zhan truly innocent?
-
Around noon, an uninvited guest arrived at Sang Yuwan's office.
The eldest son of the Ming family, Ming Xiao.
The eldest son of Mingyu and his deceased first wife.
When Sang Yu arrived at Ming's house late, he was recuperating abroad, so the two didn't have much time together.
The relationship is neither good nor bad.
"Brother, what brings you here?"
Mingxiao smiled and said, "I have some business to do at the Stars Building next door. It's almost lunchtime, so I thought I'd come here for a free meal."
He was 30 years old, rather thin, with skin fairer than the average man. He had short, neat hair. His features were regular, and his eyes shone with wisdom and gentleness, as if he could see into people's hearts and offer warmth and comfort to others.
Sang Yuwan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "This is the first time my brother has come to my place for a meal. So, what would you like to eat?"
Mingxiao lowered his eyes, looking at the mountain of documents on her desk, and said gently, "I've heard that the Bo family's employee cafeteria is comparable to a Michelin-starred restaurant. I'd like to try it."
“No problem.” Sang Yuwan glanced at her wrist; it was already lunchtime. She locked her laptop, closed the files, and stood up. “Big brother, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Mingxiao nodded.
The Bo Group's employee cafeteria is located on the 35th floor. It includes private rooms and booths.
Of course, regular employees are not allowed to dine in the private rooms.
Sang Yuwan led Mingxiao to the cafeteria, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"The chairman rarely eats in the cafeteria, why is he here today?"
Who is the man next to her?
"Could it be a new professional manager?"
"Very likely."
These conversations were all conducted on the phone.
Since the group issued the "no unauthorized discussion" rule, all the "whispers" have moved online.
Delete them after chatting, leaving no evidence.
"Brother, the cafeteria is all self-service. If you don't like it, I'll treat you to a meal at the restaurant next door," Sang Yuwan said softly as she led Ming Xiao to the food display area.
Mingxiao smiled slightly, "That's good. There are many varieties, so there's a lot of room for choice."
Sang Yu handed him the plate in the evening.
The two began selecting dishes.
Mingxiao is in poor health and has dietary restrictions. In the end, he only chose four or five items.
Sang Yuwan didn't have a very good appetite, and there wasn't much food on her plate.
The two walked side by side into the private room.
-
Rong Zhi was wondering whether he should have lunch with Sang Yuwan when the man in black knocked on the door and came in.
"Second Master, Madam has led a gentleman to the cafeteria downstairs."
Rong Zhi's breath hitched, and his expression changed. "A man?"
The man in black lowered his head. "He seems to be the eldest young master of the Ming family."
Rong Zhi stood up abruptly without hesitation, "Call Mingyi and go downstairs to eat."
The man in black was taken aback.
Second Master has always disliked eating in the canteen, not because the food is bad, but because he dislikes the noisy dining environment.
Seeing that he was standing still, Rong Zhi frowned and scolded, "What are you still standing there for?"
The man in black hurriedly followed.
Mingyi was surprised that Rong Zhi would invite him to the cafeteria. He asked in astonishment, "Second Master, you eat in the cafeteria too?"
Rong Zhi replied, "I can still eat by myself."
Mingyi choked and couldn't speak.
The man in black's lips twitched.
The three appeared on the 35th floor, surprising everyone once again.
Has the cafeteria chef been replaced?
One by one, the group's top executives visited in person.
I didn't notice anything different about today's dishes.
Everyone took out their phones and started a new round of "discussion".
Mingyi took a tray and was about to serve the food. Seeing that Rongzhi didn't move, he blurted out, "Second Master, this is a buffet."
Rong Zhi frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Mingyi shuddered involuntarily, shut his mouth, and went about his business.
This second master is not nearly as easy to get along with as Master Bo.
When Mr. Bo was alive, he always had a smile on his face whenever he saw him. He spoke to him in a gentle and amicable manner, never with a stern expression.
The man in black brought over a tray and served several dishes that Rong Zhi liked. "Second Master, Madam is in private room number one."
Rong Zhi took it with one hand and strode towards room number one.
As he reached the door, his gaze suddenly darkened.
Mingxiao placed the peeled shrimp on Sangyuwan's plate.
It was a very natural movement.
"Big brother, you eat it yourself." Sang Yuwan's eyes held a faint smile.
“I remember when you were little, you would only eat the shrimp that Mingzhan peeled for you.” Mingxiao’s gentle gaze was full of affection.
Sang Yuwan's heart skipped a beat, and a blush flashed behind her ear.
Rong Zhi felt a surge of emotions, his breath hitched, and he coughed lightly.
"Could you two please have an extra seat?"
