Chapter 274 - Xian Zihao Is Finally Here V (1/2)
Even though she knew it was a polite greeting, Jiang Ruolan still patted Jiang Yijun on the arm and said, ”Who is your Ruolan? Let's go inside.”
Jiang Yijun smiled and Wan Shoushan also casually explained, ”We both heading to the same place, so I gave her a ride.”
The three of them then entered the reserved room.
The people in the room were all senior executives at Jiang Yijun's company, and their relationship seemed to be pretty good. One of them was the company's vice president, and Jiang Ruolan used her status as Jiang Yijun's sister to converse with them politely.
After three rounds of drinking, Wan Shoushan occasionally recounted some funny and exhilarating topics and everyone would smile with glowing faces. Someone at the table suddenly mentioned that although Jiang Ruolan and Jiang Yijun were siblings, they didn't look much like each other.
Jiang Yijun sat on his seat calmly and drank his wine. He did not say anything but only put food into Jiang Ruolan's bowl from time to time. It made the female colleagues on the table look weirdly at the two of them from time to time.
Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Ruolan's phone was ringing. She got up and went out to answer the phone. Even though Jiang Yijun had helped drink alcohol for her, she still wanted to go out to breathe. Jiang Ruolan went to the front of the hotel to answer the phone while enjoying the cold wind until someone covered her body with a coat.
Jiang Ruolan quickly turned around and saw that it was Wan Shoushan. She hurriedly took off the coat and then return it to him. ”I'm not that cold, Brother Wan. The weather is too cold, quickly put on your coat.”
”Tonight's temperature is -5 degrees Celsius. You wore thin clothes and by standing here, you will easily catch a cold. Wear it.”
”No need. You should wear it. I will be fine.”
”If I tell you to wear it, then wear it.” Seeing that Jiang Ruolan stubbornly refused, Wan Shoushan immediately helped her put on the coat while lightly wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
When Jiang Ruolan still awkwardly tried to take off the coat and give it back to him, she suddenly felt a gaze on her. She turned her head abruptly and her expression immediately changed.
On the brick walkway in front of the hotel, a dark figure leaped into view.
That familiar face that was almost imprinted in her mind caused Jiang Ruolan's face to tighten. She quickly turned her gaze away indifferently, as if she was looking at a stranger.
At the same time, Wan Shoushan had already helped her put on the coat. Seeing that Jiang Ruolan had obeyed and didn't resist anymore, Wan Shoushan smiled and let his arm remain around her shoulders. When he saw her cold expression, he immediately asked in concern. ”Are you alright?”
Xian Zihao was walking with a group of people to the hotel's front door. He was walking at the front, followed by a few staff members behind him. He was wearing gray and black trench coats, holding a document in one hand and casually putting another one in his pocket.
Assistant Bai was also standing among the group. Her eyes glanced back and forth between Jiang Ruolan and Wan Shoushan.
They were standing in front of the hotel's front door, and anyone could see them at first glance.
Seeing Xian Zihao walk directly towards Jiang Ruolan, Assistant Bai naturally coughed lightly, signaling a few staff members to stay away from the CEO. The few of them stopped and Assistant Bai said in a low voice, ”This is President Xian's private matter, it's inconvenient for everyone to be present. Let's enter the hotel first.”
Jiang Ruolan's eyes were very cold. When Xian Zihao returned to her line of sight, she looked at him calmly. Under Wan Shoushan's suspicious expression, she did not retreat. She only greeted Xian Zihao politely and indifferently, ”President Xian.”
Wan Shoushan may be well-connected in the business world, but Xian Zihao has always kept a low profile and rarely showed his face in public. So when Wan Shoushan saw Xian Zihao, he immediately felt thrilled.
Although Xian Zihao kept a low profile, his name was well-known everywhere, both in China and abroad. He was the chairman and predecessor of Xian Enterprise in Boston, the Xian Family's grandson, and Xian Group's president.
Wan Shoushan stretched out his hand towards Xian Zihao with a smile. ”You are President Xian? I've heard a lot about you. Hello, I'm Wan Shoushan, the chief editor of F City's Evening News.” As he spoke, he took out a name card with his other hand and handed it over.
”Hello.” Xian Zihao shook hands with him casually and took the card. He looked at the name on it and his lips curved into a faint smile.
Seeing Xian Zihao was so polite, Wan Shoushan quickly relaxed. ”I heard Xian Group participated in a conference at the Garden Tech Zone Club today? I did not expect the Garden Tech Zone Club facility to enter your eyes, but F City is not like H City. I hope President Xian's meeting here goes smoothly. If there are any problems, President Xian must tell me since my relationship with the person in charge of the Garden Tech Zone Club is not bad. I must advise him to improve it.”
