The Secretary's Office.
Ye Huanyan had just received the revised draft of the annual meeting's proposal. The revision this time was barely passable. After skimming through it and confirming that there were no major problems, she prepared to send it to the president's office.
Just as she stood up, she saw Ling Han walk out of the office across from her. He was dressed in a black suit, and he did not even look at her as he strode forward. Qiao Mu followed behind him and knocked on the door of the Secretary's Office when she passed by it.
"Secretary Ye, President Ling is having a meeting in the conference room on the ninth floor. Please brew two cups of coffee and send it over."
Xiao Dong hastily said, "Let me brew the coffee …"
Qiao Mu creased her brows. "President Ling specified that Secretary Ye needs to brew the coffee."
Xiao Dong glanced at Ye Huanyan sheepishly.
Ye Huanyan was taken aback for a moment before nodding. She glanced at Xiao Dong.
"Then I'll have to trouble Xiao Dong to help me go through the proposal again. If there are any simple problems, send it back and let them revise it."
Ling Han rarely drank coffee and mostly drank tea. Hence, when she was preparing the coffee in the pantry, she hesitated for a moment. Perhaps she wanted to change things up, but she still brewed two cups of coffee and walked toward the conference room.
"President Ling, Su Nianhua is here." Qiao Mu stood at the door.
Su Nianhua was dressed in casual attire today and gave off a youthful vibe. He only took off his mask after entering the conference room, and he was slightly surprised when he saw Ling Han.
"You are, President Ling?"
Ling Han nodded lightly. "Mr. Su, I've heard a lot about you."
Su Nianhua was puzzled.
"Have we met before?"
The corners of Ling Han's mouth curled up into a meaningful smile. "Maybe it's fate."
He turned his head to look at Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu understood and placed the contract in her hand in front of Su Nianhua.
"Mr. Su, this is the contract that has been revised according to your request. You've already seen the electronic version, so you can read it again. If there are no problems, you can sign it."
Su Nianhua came back to his senses and nodded. After roughly flipping through the contract, he signed his name with two strokes of the pen.
At this time, Ye Huanyan walked in from the door with a tray with two cups of coffee in her hands.
Su Nianhua was sitting with his back facing the door. He was wearing a slightly oversized white down jacket and a baseball cap, so she didn't recognize him.
"Here's your coffee." She placed the coffee beside Su Nianhua and smiled politely. Then, she retracted her hand and prepared to get another cup.
After hearing this clear voice, Su Nianhua suddenly turned his head.
"Yan Yan?"
There was an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
He grabbed Ye Huanyan's hand before it could be retracted.
Ye Huanyan's expression suddenly froze.
Su Nianhua signed the contract today?
No one told her.
At this time, there was a chill in Ling Han's eyes. He stared straight at the two hands that were holding each other.
As if she had a feeling, Ye Huanyan subconsciously raised her head. She was caught off guard by Ling Han's unfriendly gaze. She thought of what he said that night like a movie.
She panicked and hurriedly pulled her hand out. She didn't even dare to look at Su Nianhua again.
She quickly put down the coffee cup on the tray and said in a low voice,
"President Ling, your coffee."
Su Nianhua was slightly stunned. He was a little puzzled by her indifferent attitude.
His gaze passed over Ye Huanyan's shoulder and fell on Ling Han.
He suddenly remembered that day near Ye Huanyan's house, the man who claimed to be her boss and took her away in a car.
No wonder he looked familiar.
It was him.
"The coffee today is not fresh, right? Are you going to serve Mr. Su this kind of coffee? "
Ling Han picked up the coffee and took a sip. There was a danger in his voice that could not be denied. Looking at his face carefully, one could feel an oppressive force.
Ye Huanyan's face stiffened.
"Maybe the coffee sent by logistics this time is not fresh enough. I'll go and change it now."
Ling Han glanced at her and said in a cold voice.
"Secretary Ye, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of my partners?"
Ye Huanyan looked more and more flustered. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to explain.
Su Nianhua quickly helped her out.
"I think this coffee is very good. President Ling, it's just a cup of coffee."
Ling Han glanced at the coffee in front of him.
"Mr. Su, you think it's very good before you taste it. Are you more knowledgeable about coffee, or are you speaking for Secretary Ye?"
Before Su Nianhua could think of an answer, he heard him say coldly,
"Consider it as giving Mr. Su face today. I won't pursue your work mistakes. Why don't you hurry up and change the coffee?"
Looking at Ye Huanyan's back, a trace of concern appeared in Su Nianhua's eyes.
Although he knew that it was indeed impossible for superiors and subordinates to be as close as family in the workplace, it was not uncommon for superiors to lose their temper over a cup of coffee. However, when such a thing happened to the woman he cared about, he still found it difficult to balance in his heart.
Such a gaze became very dazzling in Ling Han's eyes.
He asked in a neutral tone, "Mr. Su, you seem to know my secretary?"
Su Nianhua was slightly taken aback, but he didn't think too much about it.
"Yes, we used to know each other, but we haven't been in contact for many years."
"I heard that you've been abroad for ten years. It's not easy to recognize a friend from ten years ago."
Ling Han's words were a bit thought-provoking.
Su Nianhua's heart was set on working in the same company as Ye Huanyan in the future, so he did not carefully observe the change in Ling Han's expression. When he thought of her forbearing appearance just now, his heart ached a bit.
"Director Ling, I have a presumptuous request." He looked at Ling Han. "Ye Huanyan is a very important friend of mine, so I hope you can take care of her more in the future."
A cold glint flashed through Ling Han's eyes.
"Since she's your friend, it's just a small request. Of course."
Seeing that Ling Han readily agreed, Su Nianhua immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I really have to thank Director Ling."
"You're welcome." Ling Han's smile was thought-provoking.
Qiao Mu frowned as she looked at Su Nianhua. It was obvious that this gentle and refined man was not Boss's match. How exactly did he become famous abroad and reach where he was today?
In the pantry, Ye Huanyan had just brewed two new cups of coffee. This time, she tasted them first, and after confirming that there was no mistake, she prepared to bring them to the conference room with ease.
When she thought of Su Nianhua's sudden action just now and Ling Han's icy gaze toward her, she felt a lingering fear.
"Ye Huanyan …"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind her. Her entire body stiffened, and she abruptly turned around.
Su Nianhua stood at the door and gave her a refined smile.
"Did I scare you just now? I also didn't expect to meet you here. "
Not only was she scared just now, but she was also scared now.
Ye Huanyan reflexively looked behind him, but she did not see Ling Han's figure.
"Why are you here? Where's Director Ling? "
Su Nianhua followed her gaze and looked behind him. He said with a smile, "Director Ling is busy and left after signing the contract with me. I said I wanted to look around, so I came here. I guessed that you were here."
Ling Han didn't follow?
He left her alone with Su Nianhua?
