All heads turned simultaneously to look at Fan Jie when he said that.
He stood at the door staring, blinking innocently.
Liu Zhixing's eyes widened with surprise, as though he'd seen a ghost.
Zhang Chunhua had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Even Shi Nianyao was astonished.
Fan Jie continued, ”Is this a bad time? I can always come back after you've settled all your differences.”
Liu Zhixing quickly went up to Fan Jie. ”Mr Fan, you're here!”
Fan Jie nodded and said in an embarrassed tone, ”I'm so sorry. I had to reschedule my plans yesterday as something came up in the last minute. Have I caught you at a bad time coming unannounced today?”
”Not at all! We have time, of course!” Suddenly Liu Zhixing was all pleasant and polite towards Qiao Lian, a drastic change from just a moment ago, when he had been glaring at her furiously. ”Hurry up, Xiao Lian[1.Affectionate way of referring to Qiao Lian]. Take Mr Fan to the meeting room.”
Qiao Lian simply nodded.
Everyone had left the meeting room by now.
Qiao Lian said in a business-like tone, as she picked up the audio recorder, ”Mr Fan, would you mind if I recorded today's interview?”
Fan Jie scratched his head. ”Sister-in-law… are you still mad at me?”
Qiao Lian looked away. ”No.”
She was more disappointed than angry.
But she understood too that Fan Jie didn't have much of a choice either.
After all, Fan Jie was Shen Liangchuan's friend, not hers.
Hence, it was better for her to keep an appropriate distance.
”Sister-in-law, I—”
”Mr Fan, shall we begin?”
Fan Jie was about to say something, but he stopped. Eventually he hung his head and said, ”Sure.”
After the interview, Qiao Lian shook his hand and expressed her appreciation, ”Thank you for working with us.”
She was cordial and polite.
Fan Jie again looked like he was on the verge of speaking, but he finally just gave a sigh. ”You're most welcome.”
