There was a knock on the door outside the office.

Yan Cen took off his glasses and rubbed his nose lightly. "Come in."

Assistant Shen Na came in, handed over the printed documents in her hand, and brought a cup of coffee to Yan Cen.

"Mr. Yan, this is the text version of the investment agreement to be signed with Dawn Games and "Endless Mist". Please take another look at it."

"If there are no problems, Mr. Li will come later to make the final confirmation and sign the contract between the two parties."

"Mr. Li?" Yan Cen's eyes flickered slightly, "Li Yu'an, is he coming in person?"

"Yes."

Shen Na thought Yan Cen didn't respond to the title, so she changed her words and said, "Mr. Li is very concerned about the "Endless Mist" business. He has been personally dealing with it from the beginning until now."

"It should be soon."

She glanced at her watch and said, "Our company and Mr. Li have an appointment at 4:30 this afternoon, and we should be able to complete the signing of the bilateral agreement before getting off work at 5:30."

Originally, all the details of the cooperation had been discussed online, and the electronic version had been modified and confirmed twice. This time, the face-to-face signing was just a formality.

Both companies are cooperating in good faith and will definitely not tamper with the contract.

After hearing the assistant's report, Yan Cen opened a page of the agreement and closed it again, saying, "I have some other work to deal with now. Let's put it this way. When Mr. Xiao Li comes later, you can ask him to wait in the conference room for a while."

"Since it needs to be confirmed by the top management of both parties, I will take the agreement document directly over after I finish my work."

"Ah?"

Assistant Shen Na revealed a subtle surprise, feeling that Yan Cen's "arrangement" came a little suddenly.

According to the first four investment partners, they were all confirmed by the boss Yan Cen, and then the Finance Department and the Investment Department completed the final signing.

Why is it Mr. Yan's turn to come in person today?

"What? Didn't I understand?"

Yan Cen put on his glasses slowly and calmly, "Don't worry, it won't delay the relevant department personnel from getting off work."

Assistant Shen Na shook her head and smiled and agreed, "Okay, I understand, President Yan, I will notify them now."

Since the boss is willing to take care of things personally, then they employees will just do it.

...

Although he had an appointment with GM to sign the contract at 4:30 pm, Li Yu'an still waited in the parking lot downstairs of the company half an hour in advance.

First, he was afraid of encountering traffic jams on the road and avoiding possible lateness, which would delay the signing of the contract;

second, it was out of his selfishness. Thinking of the possibility of meeting Yan Cen at GM, he couldn't sit at his work position.

Li Yu'an sat in his car, waiting for the time to jump to 4:20. Only then did he put away his excitement and nervousness, got out of the car and stepped into the building where the GM was.

The moment he arrived at the GM's floor, the front desk immediately notified Shen Na.

Shen Na came in a hurry in high heels, "Boss Li, you are really on time, just you?"

Li Yu'an pretended to be calm and nodded, "Well, I can sign contracts, stamp and make decisions."

Shen Na knew the actual situation of Li Yu'an and Liming's game, and motioned him to go to the company's meeting room, "Boss Li, I may have to trouble you to wait for a while."

"President Yan still needs to review the details of the contract. We can't skip them." Shen Na tried to keep her words short, "But President Yan has work to do for now. He will come to confirm the contract with you in person later."

Li Yu'an paused, and his voice fluctuated slightly, "You, your President Yan will come to meet with me?"

Shen Na pushed open the door of the lounge and confirmed politely, "Yes, President Yan said that he would handle the contract before leaving work. Please wait for a while, Mr. Li."

Li Yu'an nodded without any objection.

To put it bluntly, GM was originally their investor, so they couldn't arrange the meeting according to the other party's schedule?

Shen Na took Li Yu'an to sit down and asked politely, "Mr. Li, would you like to drink something? Coffee?"

Li Yu'an was about to shake his head when he heard this.

He is not used to coffee, which is so bitter that he will try to avoid it.

But before he could say no, Shen Na added, "The coffee in our tea room was bought by President Yan. It tastes good."

"..."

Li Yu'an was stunned for a moment, and then nodded reluctantly, "Well, then coffee, thank you."

Shen Na smiled, "You're welcome, please wait."

...

Ten minutes later, the fragrant coffee was delivered to Li Yu'an.

"Little President Li, enjoy."

"Thank you."

The door of the conference room closed lightly.

Li Yu'an secretly moved his eyes away, and after confirming that the door was tightly closed and he was the only one in the conference room, he carefully and preciously raised the coffee cup in front of him.

The freshly brewed coffee was still steaming and smelled quite fragrant.

"..."

Since Assistant Shen said that Yan Cen bought it himself and placed it in the tea room, it means that he approves of the taste of this coffee, right? Will it taste good?

Li Yu'an pursed his lips and took two sips out of curiosity.

One second, two seconds.

The mellow bitterness reached its peak at the root of the tongue.

Li Yu'an frowned suddenly, he put the coffee cup back on the table, and stomped the ground lightly with his feet hidden under the table, as if this could disperse the inappropriate bitterness.

It doesn't taste good.

Even if it was bought by the senior, it... doesn't taste good!

Li Yu'an came to a conclusion silently in his heart, and looked around the conference room in boredom. Unfortunately, the frosted glass door was used, and he couldn't see outside even if he stared straight, let alone see Yan Cen's office.

Li Yu'an stopped looking around and turned his attention back to the electronic final version of the agreement in his hand, nervous and expectant at the same time. Before

coming here, he didn't think that Yan Cen would sign it in person.

Now that the "surprise" and "opportunity" have fallen from the sky, he naturally has to seize it and strive to make no mistakes in the work connection, and not embarrass himself in front of the other party again.

With this idea in mind, Li Yu'an thought carefully about all the preliminary contents in his mind regarding game planning, preparation and even operation, until he heard footsteps at the door -

"Pah."

The glass door made a not-too-light push sound.

Yan Cen walked in first, followed by his assistant Shen Na.

The moment their eyes met, Li Yu'an stood up in panic unconsciously, and the chair was pulled back with the force of his standing up, and the chair legs made a fairly obvious crackling sound on the halo floor.

"..."

Li Yu'an's scalp was numb by the sound, and he took a deep breath secretly.

Before he even said hello, his face was already red with embarrassment, "Yan, President Yan."

Yan Cen gently pushed the frame of his glasses to hide his smile that was about to burst out.

He could see that Li Yu'an was a little reserved and embarrassed, but he didn't point it out. He just took the responsibility on himself, "President Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"We have notified the people in charge of the investment department and the finance department to come over. We will start checking the contract later."

Li Yu'an replied, "Well, it didn't take long."

It was only 20 minutes in total, so the contract should be signed before the end of work.

Yan Cen walked over to sit down in front of Li Yu'an, and his eyes suddenly fixed on the half cup of coffee that was left in his cup, "Coffee? Are you used to it?"

Although the two of them didn't really come into contact many times, he thought Li Yu'an was the type of person who preferred sweet food.

Li Yu'an didn't expect Yan Cen to pay attention to this matter, and nodded a little late, "Fortunately, I brought candy..."

The one you gave.

Li Yu'an stopped his unconscious response in time and coughed to cover it up.

Yan Cen smiled and glanced at his assistant Shen Na, "Change it for Mr. Li, barley tea or flower tea?"

The second half of the sentence was asked to Li Yu'an again.

Li Yuan suppressed the joy in his heart and decided to give up the coffee he didn't like, "Well, barley tea."

Shen Na always felt that her boss's attitude was not like that of an ordinary partner, but due to her status as an assistant, she didn't dare to ask or think too much, and just agreed, "Okay."

As soon as the words fell, the heads of the investment department and the finance department walked in, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Li."

Yan Cen nodded slightly, and his expression instantly switched back to work mode, "Sit down, both parties will check the details from beginning to end, and sign the contract if there is no problem."

"Okay."

"Okay."

Li Yuan saw Yan Cen's seriousness and immediately did not dare to be careless.

As a senior executive of GM, Yan Cen naturally mastered the rhythm of the contract signing. In the face of occasional targeted questions, Li Yu'an, who had already prepared well, could also "take the challenge" perfectly.

When the contract was signed, there were only five minutes left before the GM got off work.

Yan Cen seemed to have expected this result, and said to the staff beside him, "It's almost done, you guys can go out first."

The heads of the investment department and the finance department looked at each other, and they were glad that they didn't stay to work overtime today. After the superficial farewell work was completed, the two of them left immediately.

The door in the office closed again, and it inexplicably became a space for the two to be alone.

Li Yu'an pinched the corner of his clothes with his right hand hidden under the table, and took a sip of barley tea pretending to be calm before saying, "Boss Yan, thank you again for choosing our "End Fog" with your company."

Yan Cen responded, "Boss Li, you don't have to be too polite. Cooperation is a win-win situation. Boss Li and your "End Fog" are good enough, and our GM will naturally not give up a good project."

"Yeah."

Li Yu'an responded, and then he had nothing to say.

He was afraid that the atmosphere would be awkward if he stayed any longer, so he had to take the initiative to stand up, "Since it's time to get off work, I'll leave first and not delay Boss Yan's private time."

"Boss Li, wait a minute." Yan Cen called out, raised his eyes and looked at him, "Are you free tonight?"

Li Yu'an was stunned, and replied uncertainly, "Yes."

Yan Cen got the answer he wanted, and glanced at his phone seemingly casually.

Half past five, the time to get off work, not a minute late.

Originally, they were scheduled to meet at half past four, and after both parties completed the signing process, it would take half an hour to forty minutes at most. However, it was delayed by Yan Cen's "personal affairs

" and was stuck at the time to get off work. "Just now, I delayed Mr. Li's time because of my 'personal affairs'. Since you are free in the evening, I will treat you to a meal. On the one hand, I apologize, and on the other hand, I wish both parties a happy cooperation."

"..."

Li Yu'an was completely stunned this time, and even blinked instinctively.

He never thought that Yan Cen would take the initiative to propose "treating dinner", and even just the two of them? This scene, this invitation, he never dared to think of it even in his dreams.

The person in front of him was still standing there, neither refusing nor agreeing, but a hint of helpless cuteness sneaked out from his eyebrows.

Yan Cen suppressed his smile, always feeling that Li Yu'an was not as cold as he looked, in fact, he looked the exact opposite.

"Mr. Li, will you give me this face?"

"Ah?"

Li Yu'an hummed and came back to his senses. After confirming that the invitation in front of him was not a beautiful dream he had imagined, his heartbeat became more and more intense and slowed down.

He took a deep breath without leaving a trace, but the small tuft on the back of his head trembled as he nodded, betraying the excitement in his heart.

"Well, of course."
