Ye Nanning returned to her room, packed her luggage, and prepared to leave at any time. She had already met with two clients, so she might go back early.
She rested in the room for a while, and someone knocked on the door, so she quickly opened it.
"Pack up quickly." Du Xiran said.
"It's all packed."
"So fast?" Du Xiran looked inside in surprise, and put the boxes neatly aside. "Then let's go to the neighboring city."
"Hmm? Aren't we going back to City B?"
"Want to go back so early?" Du Xiran smiled. "I just received news that a potential client is coming to the neighboring city on a business trip. It's a good opportunity to meet him. We've already arranged dinner. You go downstairs and wait for me, and check out the room by the way."
"good."
Ye Nanning didn't expect that she really didn't waste any time, and she turned around and started to work again. She dragged her suitcase to the lobby, then took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on before going to check out.
On the way to the high-speed rail, Ye Nanning quickly booked a ticket and changed her flight back to City B in the evening. After completing the process, Du Xiran handed her another set of information.
"Take a look. The more you know, the better."
"Okay." Ye Nanning flipped through the documents, which showed the information about the client company she was going to meet later.
The high-speed train arrived at the station in more than half an hour. The two took a taxi directly to the hotel and then went to the dinner party.
The person in charge this time was a middle-aged woman who spoke softly and did not urge anyone to drink. We just tasted the red wine together for the sake of politeness and had a great time chatting during the meal.
The person in charge not only praised Du Xiran, but also praised Ye Nanning from head to toe.
Although Ye Nanning showed no expression on her face, she was happy in her heart. There is no one who doesn't like to hear praise, especially when she was praised in front of Du Xiran.
After the end, Ye Nanning's favorable impression of the person in charge rose. She was in a good mood and drank a few glasses of wine. She was not drunk, but a little bit intoxicated. She was a little bolder and spoke without hiding anything. She said, "Boss Du, do you think there is a chance this time?"
Du Xiran was still half-leaning against the car window, with the corners of his mouth raised and the ends of his eyes raised in a beautiful arc, and asked back: "What do you think?"
"I think the chances are very high, at least higher than this afternoon," Ye Nanning said. "At least it will be easier to negotiate. If we can really cooperate, it will definitely be a pleasure."
Du Xiran smiled and said nothing.
Ye Nanning glanced at her for a few seconds and asked in confusion, "Isn't it?"
"You have a smart brain and good eyes, but you still lack experience." Du Xiran smiled at her and thought of herself back then. She was serious and always thought the best of everything, so she tended to ignore risk assessment.
"Are you happy that she praised you?" Du Xiran asked.
Ye Nanning was stunned, thought about it, and nodded: "Happy."
"Then if she refuses your request again, will you be unhappy?"
Ye Nanning shook her head and thought: "I might still feel that I haven't done enough."
Du Xiran smiled: "Very good, you have already mastered the highest art of expressing rejection."
Ye Nanning came back to her senses: "You mean, she will reject us?"
"Think about this dinner. How much time did we spend talking about business, and how much time did we spend listening to her complimenting us on our work, appearance, and clothes?"
Ye Nanning pondered for a moment and sighed: "Well, I was confused by the praise."
Du Xiran saw that she looked calm, but her tone could not hide her disappointment. He raised his hand and touched her head: "You are still young, and you will experience a lot in the future. Maybe one day you will easily surpass me."
Ye Nanning turned her head and looked at her.
Obviously, Mr. Du should be the one who is most disappointed, but he came to comfort me instead and even took this opportunity to teach me.
Ye Nanning really didn't know how to express her inner gratitude and admiration. At this time, the hand on her head was retracted. Ye Nanning stared at that hand for a long time, wanting to be touched again.
"What are you looking at?" Du Xiran asked.
"Your hand."
"What's wrong with my hand?" Du Xiran raised his hand and looked at it.
Ye Nanning leaned over.
Du Xiran tentatively put his hand on it and touched it, and the other person's stiff body relaxed.
Du Xiran laughed out loud and rubbed her head: "Why are you like a cat? You're unhappy and you need someone to stroke your fur?"
Ye Nanning smelled the scent on her body from a close distance and felt her whole body numb. Only her heart was beating rapidly, pulling her towards the other person.
Du Xiran was stroking her hair when Ye Nanning suddenly sat up and moved a little further to the side. She asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Nanning said nothing and turned away without looking at her.
"If you squeeze to the side any further, you'll be squeezed out of the car," Du Xiran reminded.
Ye Nanning: "......"
"What's wrong? Are you embarrassed now after acting like a spoiled child?" Du Xiran smiled softly.
Ye Nanning: "......"
After arriving at the hotel, Ye Nanning got out of the car quickly, secretly pressed her chest to make sure her heart was not beating so fast, then she let out a breath. She realized that Du Xiran had not caught up with her, so she looked back and saw her standing on the side of the road looking around.
"It smells so good." Du Xiran sniffed and looked at her with a smile, "Are you not full? Do you want some midnight snack?"
Ye Nanning: “…” If you want to eat, just tell me!
There is a food street near the hotel. Stalls start to be set up at night. Looking around, it is full of food stalls. Folding wooden tables are covered with disposable tablecloths and are filled with barbecue and beer. The sound of conversation and bragging can be heard one after another, from trivial matters to major national affairs.
Ye Nanning sat stiffly in her seat. It was not like she had not eaten at food stalls before, but she usually ordered takeout, or ordered at the stall and left. She had never stayed in the store to eat.
The lively atmosphere was out of tune with her.
"I said..." Du Xiran finished ordering and knocked on the table in front of her, "It's just a midnight snack, why are you wearing sunglasses again?"
Ye Nanning adjusted her sunglasses and said in a cool manner, "Fashion."
Du Xiran laughed out loud: "You young people are so creative."
There were always people at the next tables looking over here. Ye Nanning pursed her lips and took a look at Du Xiran's beauty. She wished she could put a pair of sunglasses on her face.
"Don't you think our rate of turning heads is too high?" Du Xiran asked.
Ye Nanning nodded vigorously: "You are so beautiful."
"......You still don't forget to flatter me at this time?" Du Xiran pointed at her face, "Don't you think everyone is looking at your sunglasses?"
Ye Nanning:!
That makes sense.
She thought the sunglasses blocked her line of sight from other people, but they might actually attract more people to pay attention to her.
She lowered her head and took off her sunglasses.
There was a sound of inhalation from the side, and several young men immediately started discussing, and then a brave one came over and asked, "Two beauties, do you mind sharing a table together?"
Ye Nanning frowned, kept a stern face and said nothing.
The man looked at Du Xiran again. Du Xiran was wiping his hands with a wet tissue. He said without raising his head, "Mind."
The man left awkwardly, and Du Xiran raised his hand: "Boss, another bottle of beer!"
Ye Nanning looked at her in surprise: "Can you still drink?"
"What's there to be afraid of with beer? Of course, barbecue should be accompanied by beer." Du Xiran said proudly.
After the barbecue was served, Du Xiran ate heartily and raised his beer: "Come on, let's have a toast."
Ye Nanning held the cup in both hands and touched it.
"Hey, there's no distinction between superiors and subordinates now, so don't do these empty things and just enjoy your drink." Du Xiran said.
"Okay." Ye Nanning curled the corners of her mouth. Looking at her wearing a formal suit and perfectly blending into the environment here, she really admired her.
"Come on, drink a little more, we have to go back to work." Du Xiran said, "Just don't get drunk."
"Um."
Half an hour later, Du Xiran couldn't help but burp and looked at her in surprise: "You really drink without restraint. This is the eighth bottle!"
Ye Nanning said awkwardly, "Good appetite."
"It seems like you didn't eat much at the dinner." Du Xiran said.
Ye Nanning: No, it’s because I feel good when I see you, and my appetite naturally improves! It’s true that beauty is a feast to the eyes!
After Du Xiran paid the bill, he was staggering as he walked. He staggered in front of the table, then turned around and asked, "How are you? Are you dizzy?"
Ye Nanning: "Not bad."
The alcohol content of beer is far lower than that of red wine or white wine. Apart from making your stomach bloated and your face a little red, there isn't much of a reaction.
"That's great." Du Xiran turned around with her bag, almost falling to the side, feeling dizzy. A pair of hands hugged her from behind and embraced her arms.
Du Xiran looked at Ye Nanning with a dazed look, then took her hand and said intermittently: "Luckily you are here, come on, take me back."
"Okay." Ye Nanning looked down at her hands that were tightly clasping her arms, and ripples arose in her heart.
Du Xiran walked and half leaned on her, looking down at the road, and suddenly asked in confusion: "Am I dazzled? You seem to be confused."
Ye Nanning: "......"
