Time ticked by, and the wait was wearing down one's patience.
Li Zimeng and Luo Qi had already left to contact Xiao Luo, while Zhang Dashan had to stay behind to keep up appearances. He had to pretend to be calm as he sat in his seat. However, he felt more and more stressed as he faced the gazes of Su Li, Shen Qingyan, Cai Renhe, and Chai Zhiying. His back was almost drenched in sweat.
"Erm, it seems like it's already 3: 40 pm."
Zhang Dashan looked at the time and smiled awkwardly. He waved his hand to signal the staff to pour tea for Su Li and the rest. He forced himself to be calm and said, "Have some tea. Let's continue drinking. This tea is good for self-cultivation and to kill time. Oh right, CEO Shen, what kind of tea do you like? Personally, I think West Lake Longjing tea is quite good. The fragrance is long-lasting, and it's as fragrant as orchids. It refreshes the mind, lingers in the mouth, and has an endless aftertaste. "
Shen Qingyan only responded with a cold smile. They were already 40 minutes late. She had never waited so long when she was abroad to meet the president of another country. This made her extremely unhappy.
Chai Zhiying said coldly, "I'll see how long you can last here!"
"CEO Zhang, our time is precious. You have wasted so much of our time. You have to give us an explanation." Cai Renhe's face darkened.
Explanation?
What kind of explanation would I give? How can you blame me for this?
Zhang Dashan cursed in his heart. At the same time, he secretly cursed Xiao Luo. They had agreed to meet at 3: 00 pm, but they didn't even show up at 3: 40 pm. Could they still have a good time? The people present were not ordinary people. They were all famous people in Xiahai. No matter how shameless he was, he would not be able to keep up appearances alone.
He forced himself to be calm and said, "An explanation? I think it's very likely. Our boss could have arrived before 3: 00 pm, but on the way here, he encountered a bank robber. He couldn't resist the urge to help, so he was delayed."
As soon as he said that, Su Li and the rest looked at him as if he was an alien.
Cai Renhe was so angry that he laughed. "I've heard all kinds of excuses for being late, but this is the most novel one. Do you think we're idiots?"
"Zhang Dashan, what the hell are you doing? Do you believe that I won't tear down your Lo Fong?! " How could Shen Qingyan bear it? She slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Zhang Dashan.
Damn, why is her temper so fiery?
Zhang Dashan was extremely surprised. He was shocked by Shen Qingyan's fiery temper.
Chai Zhiying also stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'll give you five more minutes. If the boss of Lo Fong doesn't appear, then there's no need to talk about cooperation!"
"Calm down, calm down. Look at Goddess Su. She hasn't said a word since she walked in. This is what you call self-restraint, and this is what you call charisma." Zhang Dashan raised his hands and gestured to calm everyone down.
At this moment, Su Li stood up and said coldly, "Let's go!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked toward the door of the conference room.
Damn, I've been slapped in the face so quickly?!
Zhang Dashan instantly felt embarrassed, but he didn't know what to say to make her stay.
Just as he was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, the door of the conference room was pushed open. Li Zimeng walked in in a formal suit and said loudly, "President Xiao is here!"
President Xiao?
Who's President Xiao? The boss of Lo Fong?
Su Li and the rest were stunned.
In the next second, they saw a man in a casual suit walk in. His facial features were well-defined, and his hair was black and shiny. His eyebrows were slanted and handsome, and his eyes contained a sharp brilliance.
"Sorry, something happened on the way here. Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
The man explained the reason for his tardiness as he walked toward the main seat at the conference table. He turned around and faced everyone. The elegant aura of a superior was emitted from his body. His every move was elegant and generous.
Xiao … Xiao Luo?!
Su Li, Shen Qingyan, and Chai Zhiying were all stunned for a moment. Their eyes were wide open.
Why is he here? And why is he walking in the main seat?
A series of questions appeared in their minds. At this moment, it was as if time had stopped and everything around them ceased to exist. In their eyes, there was only this familiar yet unfamiliar man.
"Brother, you're finally here. If you didn't come, I would've died in front of you."
Zhang Dashan was about to collapse. He quickly introduced the man to Su Li and the rest. "Goddess Su, President Shen, President Cai, this is the boss of Lo Fong. His surname is Xiao, and his name is Luo."
What?!
As soon as he said that, it was as if a bomb had exploded in the minds of Su Li and the rest.
He, Xiao Luo, was the boss of Lo Fong? This … this …
Chai Zhiying's legs went soft. Because she was too shocked, she sat down. Fortunately, the chair was under her butt. Otherwise, she would have made a fool of herself sitting on the ground.
Su Li stood motionless like a piece of wood. She stared blankly at Xiao Luo. Her eyes trembled, and her brain seemed to have lost its ability to think.
"Xiao Luo, you … you're the boss of Lo Fong?"
Shen Qingyan asked in disbelief. She had thought of more than a dozen identities of the boss of Lo Fong, but she had never thought of Xiao Luo. After all, Xiao Luo used to work for her Huayao Group. How could the boss of Lo Fong work for her company?
"Yes!"
Xiao Luo nodded and admitted generously. Since it was time to lay all the cards on the table, there was no need to hide. Now, Lo Fong was qualified to negotiate with these people.
After receiving confirmation, Shen Qingyan's eyes were glazed over. She mechanically returned to her seat.
"Since you're the boss of Lo Fong, please give us an explanation. Why did you make us wait here for more than forty minutes?" Compared to them, Cai Renhe was much calmer. He was still very angry.
"I just said that something happened on the way here," Xiao Luo said.
"What happened that delayed you for more than forty minutes?"
Cai Renhe asked aggressively. "Don't tell me it was a traffic jam. Xiahai's traffic hasn't reached the point where it can last for more than forty minutes."
Xiao Luo shook his head and smiled. "It wasn't a traffic jam. We met a bank robber on the way here."
Robber robbing a bank?
Damn, do you have to be so tacit?
You actually used the random excuse I made up to fool these three big shots. Are you trying to go to heaven?
For the first time, Zhang Dashan felt like he was about to go crazy. His brother was just too awesome. He could even come up with such an awesome excuse so eloquently.
Su Li, Shen Qingyan, Chai Zhiying, and everyone else present were so shocked that their mouths were slightly agape. Obviously, they didn't expect Xiao Luo to use the excuse Zhang Dashan had just made.
What was he doing?
Was he looking down on them? Or was he deliberately humiliating them?
Cai Renhe sneered. "President Xiao, do you think we'll believe you?"
"You probably won't believe me, but what I said is the truth," Xiao Luo said calmly.
