Just then, Song Li's phone rang. Song Li frowned when he saw the caller ID. He did not seem to want to pick it up.
"Who's calling?" Shuxin asked.
"Yanjin." Song Li handed the phone to Shuxin. "Ms. Shuxin, you can answer it."
Shuxin looked at Song Li. Song Li looked away awkwardly. "I'm calling because …"
Before Song Li could come up with an excuse, Shuxin had already taken the phone from his hand.
"Master … Yes, it's true …"
Shuxin took the phone away from her ear. Song Li hurriedly asked, "What did she say?"
Shuxin felt that something was wrong with Song Li. He obviously cared about Yanqing, but he did not dare to pick up her call. However, Shuxin was not in the mood to think too much. "She just asked if the news about Yanqing's operation is true."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
Song Li was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mood and discussed with Shuxin and Huo Jibai how to deal with the crisis.
Song Li called Tang Weizhong and asked him to meet up. He said that he did not have time and directly turned him down.
Shuxin also called Tang Ching-ya, hoping that she would show mercy to Huo Group for the sake of her friendship with Huo Yancheng. However, her phone was turned off.
Several clients wanted to terminate their contracts today. Shuxin, Song Li, and Huo Jibai met with these clients separately. They wanted to persuade them to stay, but they were determined to leave. Moreover, they revealed that Huo Yanqing was in a coma and the stock of Huo Group had plummeted. The Huo Group was no longer what it used to be. They really did not want to see their investment go down the drain, so they had to terminate their contracts.
At noon, Tang Ching-ya actually took the initiative to call Huo Jibai and asked him out for lunch.
Shuxin had originally planned to go with Huo Jibai, but Yan Jin had come over from the military academy. She called Shuxin and said that she had something to discuss with her, so Shuxin didn't accompany Huo Jibai.
…
In a private room of a hotel
Shu Mengling was a little nervous. "Qingya, will Huo Jibai really come?"
Tang Ching-ya smiled and nodded. "Yes."
Shu Mengling tightened her grip on the bag on her lap and stared at the cup of tea on the table. Her palms were sweating.
Tang Ching-ya picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip. "I'll find an excuse to leave later and give you a chance to be alone with Xiaobai. The rest is up to you."
Shu Mengling nodded. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Not long after, Huo Jibai arrived.
Shu Mengling's heart raced when she saw Huo Jibai appear at the door of the private room.
Huo Jibai was wearing a black hoodie, a pair of slim-fit jeans, and a long, flaxen trench coat. He had a slender figure and handsome features. He exuded a charming aura that made one's heart beat faster.
Shu Mengling's face instantly turned red when she thought about how she would become his woman in a while.
"Xiaobai is here," Tang Ching-ya greeted.
Huo Jibai saw Shu Mengling and frowned. "Why is she here?"
Tang Ching-ya replied, "I bumped into her when I came here to eat, so I asked her to come along. You don't mind, right?"
Huo Jibai was looking for Tang Ching-ya, so he didn't mind. He pulled out a chair and sat down. "It doesn't matter."
Tang Ching-ya looked at Huo Jibai worriedly. "I just came back from a charity fundraiser in the mountains. The signal there is not good. When I came back, I saw the news about Yanqing online. I tried to call Yanqing, but his phone was turned off. So I asked you out to ask if Yanqing is alright?"
