Chapter 702 - Bid farewell to everyone.
Gao Fan's hands at once extended up to stop the woman when he saw her nearing his President. Before arriving here, he has already been ordered to take care of these situations. His actions were swift and lacked any emotional concern. Just like Feng Shufen he also looked cold. "Ma'am you cannot be near like this". He said in a voice of lack of sympathy.
Zhang Xiaotong's eyes didn't need any permission to tear up at the harsh treatment she received. Her eyes barely held the tears on the edge of her eye lines as she looked at Feng Shufen, who didn't return any glance at her. "Why are you stopping me? I am here to meet Brother Fenfen. I am not like others to him" She said, suddenly turning all sharp at the man who dared to stop her.
But to her sharpness, Gao Fan remained all unfazed. Still keeping a non-yielding expression on his face, he said, "It's not allowed."
The woman's brows frowned at his attitude. "Do you even know who I am? Did you forget in the past week how many times I visited your office?" She yelled in a slow but irritated voice, not able to take the insultive treatment she was given.
In the past week, almost every day she has tried to meet the man. Be it the lunch or dinner, but every time she went, she has been returned saying that the President was busy. Only after the things in the company were settled, she got an opportunity to spend some time with him. She reserved the restaurant for him only to make him cancel the invitation. She followed him here but now, here as well, she was getting refrained from meeting him.
"Okay, fine, if it is like that. Help me ask him if I can have a few words with him" She said once more, making a little adjustment on her side. Meeting him by lowering her stand once was a lot better than missing the opportunity. Apart from that, she was confident that she just needs to introduce herself once to the man and he will remember her to not let go ever again. She smiled hopefully at her thoughts before looking at the secretary to make a move.
But before Gao Fan could even turn to ask, he heard an order from behind. "Gao Fan, prepare the car." Feng Shufen said before getting up from the counter to leave. It has probably been only ten to fifteen minutes, and the man already looked bored.
At her sudden announcement, Zhang Xiaotong was troubled. After so many years, it was her first meeting with him. She wanted it grand … wanted it to be an unforgettable memory but here she was receiving nothing but only heartbreaks. This was definitely not what she had thought.
"Brother Fenfen, you have just arrived. Will you leave just like that. You have yet to meet people around." She started thinking to not miss the chance but when received the look of strangeness from the man in return, she felt like she lost it in an instant.
Shufen looked at her like he was looking at her for the first time before he asked with some surprise. "You are here?" Though his words hinted at a sense of familiarity, his gaze went just against it. He then turned to look at Gao Fan and the secretary at once understood what he was asked at the place. Bowing slightly, he retreated to make the arrangements.
Zhang Xiaotong didn't know how she should respond to his question. She wanted to show her happiness at the situation, but the gaze of strangeness he was showing to her was making her hesitant.
"You still remembered me? Seeing your secretary's behavior earlier, I thought you had forgotten all our memories together." She asked, choosing to believe in what her heart wanted to believe.
Feng Shufen didn't say anything. He just pulled a little smirk on his lips before reminding. "I hope the bouquets and box were delivered well with the message," He said, before taking his walk towards the exit.
Behind him Zhang Xiaotong stood still, not believing her ears. To her, his coldness was not a surprise but still, after so many years she has expected something different to come her way. "Those annual gifts … Did you return it yourself?" She asked with some surprise as she took two speedy steps to reach him. "Aunt Qinrou said that it had been a mistake from your staff at home".
"From when did my people become incapable?" Feng Shufen simply said abruptly halting. His tone seemed a little rough to her.
Was he unhappy with her?
"Did I do something wrong? Were those flowers not good?" She asked, staring expectantly at the man.
But right before she could receive any answer to her question, she heard a hearty greeting from behind. "President Feng, you were here? For the whole evening I have been searching for you to show my gratitude. Thank you ". A middle-aged English man came forward to greet from the midst of the crowd.
His eyes glance shortly at the lady as well before smiling and including, "Oh, Ms. Zhang is also here. It's good I have been thinking of introducing her along with me. Believe me, President Feng, if not her we would not be able to get this contract from you." He said, giving a grateful smile to the woman.
Zhang Xiaotong blushed at his appreciation. "Uncle Taylor, please don't mention it. I was just trying to be helpful. Furthermore, you have been friends with my father, it was only right for me to help you." She said, maintaining the air of modesty while giving a few meek glances at the man for whom she has actually done everything, expecting him to say something in response.
"What are you doing? Let me pass. I was talking to him". She said through gritted teeth but Gao Fan had never been in a habit to reply to the question until he had been questioned by Feng Shufen himself.
Without sparing her any politeness, he averted his eyes to stare at each and every person present in the hall.
"I, hereby on the stand of President Feng bid farewell to everyone. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the night. Thank you for everyone's cooperation." Gao Fan said, before bowing slightly in gesture and turning to leave.
