Then she also noticed the middle-aged man opposite her.
Li Hanting frowned slightly.
Qin Zhe followed him, reporting some loopholes in the hospitality negotiations. "If we give in even 1%, the marketing department's money won't really make a difference. While their credibility is impeccable, they're stretching the boundaries too much. Should we still cooperate with them?"
After Qin Zhe finished speaking, there was no reply for a long time.
As he walked down the stairs, the president stopped.
Qin Zhe looked up, then followed the other person's line of sight and saw Xia Yunxi sitting by the window.
Qin Zhe was about to speak in surprise, but when he turned his gaze and saw the man opposite Xia Yunxi... Qin Zhe suddenly stopped talking.
Guide Hotel, a five-star integrated hotel in Jiangcheng. The first-floor restaurant represents dates and blind dates... Didn't you see a vase of roses at each table, exuding the sweet aroma of sweet stars? The second floor is for private rooms, the third floor represents more, and the fourth floor is for fun...
But what is happening on the first floor now?
Qin Zhe asked unconsciously: "Miss Xia, is she on a blind date?"
He didn't dare to ask for a date because he had a question stuck in his throat: Why is the blind date so old?
Li Hanting turned around and glanced at him indifferently. Qin Zhe felt his skin tighten and was about to laugh it off.
The president walked over.
Yes, I walked over openly!
Qin Zhe opened his mouth slightly, wanting to ask what the CEO was doing there? Was he just joining in the fun?
But why would Miss Xia choose such an old man for a blind date? At worst, there are so many golden bachelors on the street—wouldn't he be more attractive?
"Don't worry, we will treat you well in the villas and buildings we have together. You can choose whichever you want. When do you think we can finalize the matter?" After briefly introducing himself, the man named Xiao Zhao went straight to the point.
Xia Yunxi hadn't spoken a word from beginning to end. Only at this moment did she slowly raise the corner of her mouth in a subtle sarcastic smile.
How lowly does her father think of her?
That's why she found such a man. Is it for his money to make her company go further?
Xia Yunxi didn't need to think too much, her father's ideas were almost only useful and useless!
Five years ago, she was ruined, so her father could immediately publish a newspaper to sever ties with her. Five years later, she came back. After all, she was Xia Chenghai's daughter. No matter how bad her reputation was, she still had some use, right?
Xia Yunxi lowered her eyes and really chuckled.
"Miss Xia, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm sorry, I think..." Before Xia Yunxi could finish her words, a shadow enveloped her eyes.
She raised her head, and her cold eyes accidentally met those dark, motionless eyes as dark as the night.
Xia Yunxi was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect to meet him here.
"Who are you?" Xiao Zhao asked in confusion.
Li Hanting wore a long gray coat, which made him look tall and straight, like a mountain pine, resilient and outstanding. He glanced at the man with a cold brow, revealing no emotion, but Xiao Zhao still felt a sense of pressure.
Middle-aged people, accustomed to long periods of high office, may feel pressured to be looked down upon by someone younger than them. The man, Xiao Zhao, felt provoked and embarrassed.
Xiao Zhao stood up and was on the same level as Li Hanting, but the height difference made him unconsciously tilt his head slightly when he looked at the man.
"Who are you? What do you mean by standing here?" Xiao Zhao looked at Xia Yunxi and asked, "Miss Xia?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly heard a cold roar, right next to his ear, without any disguise.
"Miss Xia, is this... a blind date?" The man's cold voice had a slightly rising tone.
They are obviously two unrelated people, and even if you look at it from a broader perspective, they are not even related at all.
But Xia Yunxi didn't expect that some things were just so coincidental.
Her cheeks were flushed with heat, but Xia Yunxi couldn't really be so cold and indifferent, as if it really had nothing to do with her, and so free and easy.
"But your taste..." Li Hanting looked Xiao Zhao up and down with a critical gaze, very impolite, completely unaware of the meaning of gentlemanly conduct. "Tsk tsk, Miss Xia, if you're really desperate, I can introduce you to someone from my company. There's really no need to... treat yourself like this."
Xia Yunxi's face turned slightly ugly, and before she could react, Xiao Zhao had already spoken angrily.
"Who are you? What do you mean?"
Li Hanting raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect someone to dare to shout at him.
Qin Zhe originally wanted to step forward, but Li Hanting stopped him.
"As Miss Xia's superior and boss... I think it is necessary to observe for Miss Xia! But..." Li Hanting didn't say the last word, but one could imagine what he would say next?
Xia Yunxi's lips moved slightly.
Xiao Zhao over there said, "Oh," "Are you Miss Xia's boss? She works for you? What does she do?"
After three questions, Xiao Zhao figured out Li Hanting's identity. He was no longer confused. Instead, he said arrogantly, "Xiao Xia, what's the point of working for someone else? Just quit your job and come follow me. Just stay by my side and serve tea and water. You don't have to do anything, and I can guarantee you'll have enough to eat and drink."
Li Hanting raised the corner of his eyebrows slightly.
Xiao Zhao was still performing on her own. "Follow me, and you'll be the boss lady of my company. You'll have everything you want, from delicious food to spicy drinks. You'd better get fired as a boss as soon as possible."
A light cough was heard behind him. Qin Zhe was choked by these bold words.
Let me ask you, looking across the entire Jiangcheng, who would dare to pat his chest and boastfully show off his financial strength in front of the president?
This guy, isn't he a fool?!
Li Hanting showed no signs of being angry. He looked at Xia Yunxi who was sitting next to him with a half-smile and said nothing. But the obvious mockery made Xia Yunxi feel her whole face hot and uncomfortable.
"Why aren't you talking? Or are you guys..." Xiao Zhao noticed Li Hanting's gaze, stopped showing off, and asked seriously, "What's your relationship?"
Xia Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at the man across from her who was almost the same age as her father. Suppressing her displeasure, she spoke word by word, "Superior-subordinate relationship."
After saying that, he stood up.
It was obvious that the most unbearable scene was discovered by an acquaintance. The embarrassment and shame were so severe that if it happened to an ordinary person, they would probably have run away without being able to bear it.
But Xia Yunxi didn't. She straightened her back, her beautiful face expressionless, and stated her thoughts.
"Mr. Zhao, I think you may have misunderstood. I was not aware of this meeting today, and I have no plans to get married. I am truly sorry."
