Last night, Yan Xiluo packed everything she needed in advance.
She rushed to the airport early in the morning so that she could get to F country as soon as possible and adjust to the time difference.
Before boarding the plane
"Auntie~ I'm about to board the plane! I'll text you when I land!"
Due to work reasons, Li Shuyan was unable to depart from City A with Yan Xiluo, but instead departed from Country D.
"Okay, country D is closer to country F, I'll go first. I've already booked the hotel, I'll sleep with my aunt!"
Sleeping with her would give her more time to get to know her niece, and just thinking about it makes me happy!
"Okay, I'll go get my ticket checked first."
After sending the message, Yan Xiluo turned off her phone and went through security with her ticket.
On the other side
Li Mufei was holding a coffee near the company and hurriedly wanted to run back. Because of the rain, the road was a bit slippery, so she had to run carefully.
The road ahead was flooded, and if she didn't take this route, she would have to walk a longer distance. However, Yan Xiluo wasn't there, and she was in charge of today's meeting and negotiating the cooperation. With time running out, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and carefully make her way across.
Because she was afraid of getting her white suit and high heels dirty, she was so engrossed that she didn't see the green light turn red.
Just then, a car drove past her, splashing her with dirty water.
"Hey! Do you even know how to drive?!"
She was already in a hurry, and now she was splashed with dirty water. How could she meet her business partners like this? How could she go to a meeting?! Li Mufei was furious and used all her energy to shout this sentence.
Upon seeing this, the people in the car quickly stopped and prepared to get out to check the situation.
"Miss, are you alright?"
The man slowly opened his mouth and asked.
Do I look like I'm alright?
Li Mufei was slightly agitated and on the verge of tears. She kept her head down, focused on wiping the dirty water off her body, and didn't even glance at the man.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to attend to. I'll compensate you for your clothes; just fill in whatever amount you like."
The man handed a blank check to Li Mufei.
This action only made Li Mufei angrier!
"Sir, you think an 'sorry' and a blank check are all it takes to resolve this? Do you think you're in such a rush? I didn't just lose a set of clothes; I lost an entire project!"
Li Mufei retorted irritably, "Don't think you can get away with this just because you're pretty."
"Miss, how can you be so unreasonable? I dirtied your clothes, I apologized, and I compensated you. That's settled. I have to leave in a hurry, is that a problem?"
The man felt helpless; he thought there was nothing wrong with what he was doing.
"How can you say there's no problem? Giving me a blank check and having me fill it in anywhere is considered compensation? I don't need the money! You have no sincerity whatsoever!"
Does she, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Li family, lack money? Putting that aside, she's also a partner in the LFY Group; what she values is attitude, okay? Isn't her time valuable? If she's late now, the loss won't just be a single outfit!
"Then, miss, may I ask what constitutes sincerity?"
The man suppressed his anger, feeling that his approach wasn't sincere enough. He'd already let her fill in any amount; wasn't that sincerity enough? Besides, he was in a hurry, and so was she; why waste time?
"I need to work in a bit, are you just going to let me go like this?"
Li Mufei was furious and sent a message to An Xinyue, telling her to entertain the business partners first and that she would arrive later.
"Okay, then I'll take you to buy an outfit and then drop you off at the company. Is that more sincere?"
Seeing Li Mufei covered in dirty water and looking somewhat disheveled, he suddenly felt less angry and wanted to laugh. Oh well, so be it if I'm a little late.
"That's more like it!"
What she wants is a good attitude! Giving her a check is just a way to get by.
"Then get in the car quickly."
Li Mufei didn't say anything more, opened the car door and got into the back seat.
The car was parked at a nearby clothing store, a chain store of Qianxi.
"Get off the bus. This is the only good clothing store around here. Isn't that a good offer?"
The man didn't know how expensive her clothes were; he only thought that the design and fabric were definitely top-notch, and that bringing her to Qianxi to buy them was probably the best option.
"Okay. I guess you're at least somewhat sincere."
Isn't that their own company's store? It's good enough to boost their own company's sales.
Li Mufei followed behind the man. When the store manager saw her, he immediately wanted to greet her, but Li Mufei made a "shh" gesture to the store manager.
The store manager was quick-witted and understood Li Mufei's meaning, nodding slightly to indicate that she understood.
The store manager immediately came over to greet them.
"Sir, Madam, welcome to Qianxi. How may I help you?"
The store manager greeted the customer with a smile and asked politely.
"Could you please help this lady choose a business suit that she likes?"
The man then walked to the sofa and slowly sat down.
"Miss, please come with me."
The store manager respectfully gestured for her to enter and led Li Mufei to the women's professional attire section.
"Mr. Fei, what's going on?"
The store manager was puzzled. Why would someone from their own store need to hide their identity? So he couldn't help but ask.
The store manager was personally selected by Li Mufei, and they have a good relationship; she treats Li Mufei like one of her own.
"Look at me, he's the one who splattered me with all this filth. I'm in a rush to meet with business partners, how can I face anyone like this? I have to make him get me a new one!"
Li Mufei spoke as she picked out clothes.
"I see. Then, Ms. Fei, please choose carefully. After all, your taste is better than mine."
The store manager was right, that's true. Plus, Li Mufei was in a hurry, so I didn't recommend anything to her.
Just then, Li Mufei's phone rang, and the contact name was Xiaoyueyue.
"Hey, Yueyue, what's wrong?"
Could it be that my lateness has affected the collaboration? But with Yueyue around, she should be able to reach an agreement!
"The assistant to the president of Ning's Group just called to say that their president encountered some trouble on the way and will be arriving later to discuss the cooperation."
"Okay, I understand. I'll be back soon."
That suited her perfectly; otherwise, her business partners would think she was someone who had no sense of time.
"good."
On the other side, An Xinyue had just returned to the company after finishing her collaboration.
Li Mufei casually grabbed a black suit and changed into it.
"This set is fine, check please."
Li Mufei walked up to the man and spoke softly. The phone call had put her in a good mood, and her voice was gentler.
"Okay, let's settle the bill."
The man gave a wicked smile and handed the card to the store manager.
He turned around and looked Li Mufei up and down; it seemed that black suited her better.
"Sir, here's your card and receipt. Welcome back next time!"
The store manager handed the card and receipt to the man.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the company."
The man then prepared to leave.
"No need, the company is very close to here, I can go back by myself, so this matter is considered resolved."
At this moment, Li Mufei was in a good mood and didn't want to dwell on anything anymore.
"Okay, then I'll be going now."
The man strode out of the store and walked towards his car.
