Guan He glanced at the time, accurate to the minute: "Thirty-six minutes."
"Um."
Xu Yanfeng said nothing else, put down the cup, and continued to deal with the pile of work at hand.
An hour passed, and Ling Xunzhang in the reception room cursed Xu Yanfeng countless times in his heart. When the secretary brought in the third cup of coffee, Ling Xunzhang suppressed his anger and asked, "When will your General Manager Xu finish his work?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know." The secretary smiled and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll ask Guan Zhu."
"Wait a moment" again, Ling Xunzhang's expression could no longer hold back, and for a moment it became extremely ugly.
The secretary did not give any perfunctory response. After leaving, he really went to find Guan He and asked him about Mr. Xu's arrangements.
Guan He said calmly, "Let them wait a little longer."
This wait lasted another hour.
Guan He received Xu Yanfeng's instructions and then slowly pushed open the door of the reception room. He apologized in a gentle tone, "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Please follow me. Mr. Xu is done."
Ling Xunzhang's teeth were almost broken. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the reception room. Ling Yan followed him in a trance.
Finally seeing Xu Yanfeng, he had a faint smile on his handsome face, but he didn't seem to have any warmth. "I'm dealing with a rather thorny matter. Sorry for the long wait. What can I do for you?"
They both knew what it was about. Ling Xunzhang put on a smile and said, "My younger sister said she wanted to apologize to you. I'll go with her." As he said that, he looked at Ling Yan who was standing quietly beside him and gave her a look.
During the two hours of sitting there, Ling Yan's heart sank again and again. Pursing her lips, she mechanically said, following the script she had prepared in advance, "I'm sorry. I was the one who spread the negative information about Xia Xi online. I lost my mind for a moment and couldn't control myself, which had a negative impact on her. If possible, I would like to apologize to her in person and ask for her forgiveness."
God knows how many psychological barriers she overcame to say these words.
Xu Yanfeng smiled faintly. It was impossible for him to agree to let Ling Yan meet Xia Xi, but he did not avoid this issue. He did all this to force the Ling family to take the initiative to push Ling Yan to take responsibility.
There is a price to pay for doing something wrong, it cannot be excused by just saying "I'm sorry".
"No need." Xu Yanfeng shook his head in a cold voice.
Ling Yan didn't want to see Xia Xi, let alone apologize to her. Xu Yanfeng said it wasn't necessary, which was exactly what she wanted. She concealed a hint of relief and spoke cautiously, "Then, please apologize to Xia Xi on my behalf."
She thought too simply. Xu Yanfeng's gaze fell on her face and remained there for two seconds. He seemed to be smiling, but his voice was much colder than before: "If you want her to feel your apology, you don't necessarily have to meet her."
There was confusion in Ling Yan's eyes.
"Since this incident broke out online, it should end online," Xu Yanfeng said. "If you want to sincerely apologize, then record a video and post it online, publicly admitting the defamation you did against her and clearing her name."
