An Lan: Thatâs how it is in the business world. Itâs mainly about business. Iâll call you tomorrow. After dinner, Iâm going shopping with someone. Iâll be back very late.
As soon as she put away her phone, the people at the table were saying goodbye.
An Lan walked over and shook hands with Xuan Yuanlang. Xuan Yuanlang handed her a business card and said, âGive me your business card.â
His tone was so dominating, just like Nian Junting. An Lan couldnât help but to but take out her own business card and hand it to him. .
âNot bad. Youâre starting your own law firm now,â Xuan Yuanlang said with a playful look in his eyes, âJunior, do you have time to have a meal together in Hong Kong these days?â
An Lan was hesitating whether she should establish a good relationship with him, when Xiao Si walked over and said lazily, âDonât eye on her. She has a boyfriend now.â
âOh?â Xuan Yuanlang turned his business card around. âThatâs not bad. Youâre not married yet, it means that I still have a chance.â
Xiao Si rolled his eyes. âCEO Xuanyuan, can you have some integrity?â
âDo capitalists have integrity?â Xuan Yuanlang asked back.
An Lan rubbed her forehead and smiled. âSenior, donât joke around. How can an outstanding person like you be afraid of not having a woman around?â
âI need women, especially capable women,â Xuan Yuanlang said with a low laugh. âJunior, youâre just a lawyer, not an investor. You donât have to draw a clear line between you and me. To be honest, Nian Junting and I arenât enemies. Weâre both businessmen. The most important thing for a businessman is to have connections. Itâs fate that we met from America to Hong Kong.â
After saying that, he put one hand into his pocket and left gracefully.
Xiao Si asked An Lan in surprise, âDid you have a good relationship with him when you were studying?â
âI donât think so.â An Lan thought for a while and said, âBut I can understand. There werenât many Chinese who studied in America. After graduation, they went their separate ways and didnât meet each other much. Itâs quite emotional to meet him.â
âI donât object to working with him. After all, heâs right. Weâre all businessmen. Itâs foolish not to earn money,âXiao Si said. âIâm your friend. I definitely hope that you earn more, but make sure that he doesnât have other motives.â
After he finished, he glanced at her body.
An Lan had goosebumps from his stare. âWatch your eyes.â
âA man, Huh? Haha.â Xiao Si put on a fake smile.
At this moment, the general manager of the Wind Control Department, Zhang Kelin, walked over and put her arm around An Lanâs shoulder. âWeâve just discussed it and decided to go to the bar tonight. Weâll go shopping tomorrow.â
âWhatâs so fun about a bar? Itâs so noisy.â An Lan sighed. âThen can I choose not to go?â
âNo, itâs crowded and lively,â Zhang Kelin said with a smile, âItâs fine if Mr. Xiao is afraid of his wife and wonât go, but as an unmarried person, why are you hiding? Let me tell you, once youâre married, itâll be difficult for you to leave the house. Hubby is very strict. Donât worry, itâs all familiar faces. Just relax a little. Itâs just the bar downstairs. The drinks here are good.â
An Lan couldnât persuade these people at all, so she could only follow them downstairs to the bar. However, the atmosphere of the bar here was good. Many people from different countries were playing jazz music, and the air was filled with laughter and the aroma of delicious food.
Everyone was chatting quite happily. An Lan finished the Martini in her hand, and she walked to the bar counter with an empty glass. âGive me another Irish Martini.â
âThe most delicious drink here is the White Chocolate Martini,â a slender figure took the seat next to her.
An Lan turned around and saw Xuan Yuanlang.
