“I’m back.” After sending Xia Wan home, Chen MO called Xu Ye.
“You little rascal, didn’t you come back early this morning? Why are you only contacting me now?” Xu Ye teased somewhat discontentedly, “Did you go to Xia Wan’s side to scout the enemy?”
“Where are you? I’ll come to you.” Chen MO ignored Xu Ye’s teasing, his voice rigid enough to convey his current displeasure.
“Good timing, I’ll take you to meet someone. Maybe it will improve your mood.” Xu Ye gave Chen MO an address and then hung up the phone.
In the largest private room of Dongxing Pavilion, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark grey suit and with slicked-back hair, was lighting a cigar. “I say, Xiao Xu, when exactly is this Mr. Chen going to arrive?” “We’ve been waiting here for an hour now. Why haven’t we seen anyone?” “If Mr. Chen doesn’t have the sincerity, then we might as well not…”
The middle-aged man’s words were cut off as the door of the private room opened from the outside.
Chen MO, dressed in a pitch-black suit, walked in straight.
Xu Ye immediately greeted him, pressing down on Chen Mo’s arm before turning to introduce him to the middle-aged man sitting at the head: “Chen MO, this is Mr. Lang I told you about.”
“Mr. Lang, this is Chen Mo.”
After introducing the two, Xu Ye led Chen MO to sit next to Mr. Lang.
Mr. Lang did not stand up to greet him, but instead took the cigar out of his mouth and gestured towards the seat next to him, “Mr. Chen, please take a seat.”
Chen MO didn’t say much and sat down next to the middle-aged man.
Seeing Chen MO silent, Mr. Lang hummed towards Xu Ye’s direction: “Mr. Xu, I came today because I respected you. It seems Mr. Chen is not interested in cooperating with us!’
“Let’s call it a day! There’s no point in sitting down any longer!”
After Mr. Lang spoke, he stood up, intending to leave.
Xu Ye, seeing this, immediately stepped forward to stop Mr. Lang, “Mr. Lang, you’ve misunderstood.”
“Chen MO is just tired from traveling all day today.”
“Look, why don’t we serve the dishes first, let him rest a bit, and then we can talk about the cooperation, how about that?”
After Xu Ye finished speaking, he kicked towards Chen Mo’s direction.
Chen MO, having anticipated Xu Ye’s action, dodged, making Xu Ye kick into the air.
Xu Ye’s expression didn’t change, still wearing a smile towards Mr. Lang.
Mr. Lang was taken in by this approach, and immediately sat back down, “If it weren’t for Mr. Xu’s sake, I wouldn’t have come for this meal today.”
“Alright, let’s serve the dishes first!”
“Let Mr. Chen rest a bit, so it won’t affect our cooperation.”
Although Mr. Langs words were polite, the sarcastic tone was evident to anyone.
Chen MO didn’t say anything, just picked up the water Xu Ye poured for him and took a sip.
Soon, the waiters entered in succession, setting a full table of dishes.
“The dishes are served, Mr. Chen should have rested enough by now, right?” Mr. Lang leaned back in his chair, speaking in a not-so-friendly tone.
Xu Ye glanced at Chen MO, his eyes carrying a warning.
Chen MO curled his lips and then raised his glass to Mr. Lang, “Mr. Lang, I apologize for today, I hope you…”
Before Chen MO could finish, Xu Ye interrupted him: “Mr. Lang is so magnanimous, he wouldn’t take it to heart!”
“Right, Mr. Lang?”
Xu Ye’s eager demeanor almost made Chen MO physically ill.
Mr. Lang, however, was placated by Xu Ye’s coaxing.
He glanced sideways at Chen MO, still holding his glass, then spoke in a patronizing tone: “Since Mr. Chen admits his fault, then this glass…”
“I’ll drink!” Before Mr. Lang could finish, Chen MO had already gulped down the white liquor in his glass.
The burning sensation made Chen MO grit his teeth before he said to Mr. Lang, “Mr. Lang, can we continue our discussion now?”
Mr. Lang shook his head and also picked up his glass, “Young people should not be too arrogant, otherwise… they always end up suffering losses.”
After Mr. Lang spoke, he brought the glass to his lips.
Xu Ye noticed Chen MO’s discomfort, but Mr. Lang was a major client he had worked hard to bring in. It would be a pity to let him go just like that!
Xu Ye gestured to Chen MO not to say more and then spoke to Mr. Lang, “Mr. Lang, we are still young and can’t compare to your years of experience and gains abroad! ”
“You’ve come back this time, you must teach us some lessons!”
