CHAPTER 183
"Let us meet at Jade Dragon's Restaurant," Wang Tingxiao suggested according to Li Fengjin.
"Jade Dragon's Restaurant. I got it. We will be there. Thank you very much for this opportunity," Xia Xinyi said. She could not conceal her excitement.
"Thank you for accepting our offer. We will be meeting in thirty minutes then," Wang Tingxiao said before ending the call.
"Boss the agreement has been made. Assistant Wang Tingxiao chose Jade Dragon's Restaurant for us to meet in thirty minutes," Xia Xinyi said.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Tell the driver to get the car ready. Let's go. Let's go now," Bai Renxiang said as she stood up and picked up her purse and phone and some files.
"Yes, boss."
The two of them walked out of the office. Bei Renxiang locked the door as Xia Xinyi went to her office to get their things before going.
"Secretary Jinhai! We have an urgent meeting to attend in thirty minutes. Assistant Xia Xinyi and I would be closing from there. You can go home early today," Bai Renxiang informed Jinhai about why she was leaving the office just in case someone came to look for her.
"Yes, boss. Have a good day," he dipped his head in as he spoke. Xia Xinyi came out of her office and passed some files to Jinhai.
"Mrs Wen will come by later or send someone from her department to come and pick this up. Please. Ensure to give it to them before the end of the day. I owe you one of my steamed buns and I will bring them tomorrow. Bye Jinhai and thank you so much," Xia Xinyi said in a hurry and ran after Bai Renxiang, not even giving Jinhai a moment to say anything.
Jinhai could only chuckle and shake his head at her. He continued with whatever he was doing before they came out of the office. Bai Renxiang and Xia Xinyi rode the private elevator that brought them straight to the private car park where the black Passat car was parked. On seeing his boss approaching, the driver stepped out of the car to open the door for her.
"Where should I take you to ma'am?" The driver asked as soon as he sat on the seat and started the car engine.
"Get to Jade Dragon's Restaurant in thirty minutes," Bai Renxiang said.
"Roger that boss," the driver said and drove them out of the company's premises before stepping on the accelerator. He drove quickly but made sure to be steady so as not to disturb his boss' ride to her destination.
At exactly thirty minutes, they had arrived at the restaurant. Bai Renxiang was impressed by the driver. She alighted the car along with Xia Xinyi and together, they walked into the restaurant with Bai Renxiang at the front. Just as they stepped into the restaurant, a waiter greeted them in a polite manner and warming smile.
"Welcome to Jade Dragon's Restaurant. Do you have a reservation here or do you need a table?" The waiter asked.
"We have a reservation here under the name Mr Li," Xia Xinyi answered. They had received a call from Assistant Wang Tingxiao when they were still on their way to the restaurant. He told them that a private booth has been reserved under the name, Mr Li so it would not be a problem to locate them once they arrive.
On hearing the name in which their reservation was booked, the waiter's eyes widen a bit before he quickly regains his composure.
"Please come with me ma'ams," he bowed slightly and smiled before leading them to the private booth of Mr Li.
"This is it," the waiter stopped in front of a red mahogany door with gold designs. Bai Renxiang and Xia Xinyi thanked the waiter and knocked before they stepped in.
Meanwhile, Li Fengjin and Wang Tingxiao had long reached the restaurant and were patiently waiting for their new business partners. After a while of waiting, they heard a knock on the door of the private booth and it was gently pushed open revealing a naturally beautiful woman in a white polka-dot pantsuit and a nerd beauty also in a black pantsuit behind her.
For a moment there Li Fengjin's breath hitched once his eyes set on her. She looked so... different in a good kind of way. He swiftly accessed her looks.
She looked confident, bold and daring in the suit and white heels. But she also looked simple with small round earrings matching her heels' colour. Her hair was let down in its simple curls and a left side path. She also did not have too much make-up on. All in all, she was like a fresh breath of air in Li Fengjin's eyes.
"Good afternoon Mr Li and Mr Wang," Bai Renxiang and Xia Xinyi greeted the men that were now on their feet.
"Please, pardon our unpunctuality," Bai Renxiang added.
"There is no need for that. You arrived quite on time. Assistant Wang Tingxiao," Wang Tingxiao introduced himself as he shook their hands. "And this is my boss, Mr Li."
"Bai Renxiang. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr Li," Bai Renxiang said as she stretched her hands to Li Fengjin for a handshake.
"We meet again Ms Bai. The pleasure is all mine," Li Fengjin gave her a small smile as he accepted her small hands in his and shook them lightly and did the same with Xia Xinyi.
Li Fengjin was not the only one who felt dazed as Bai Renxiang felt the same when he smiled. It reminded the day he arrived at the company. He had smiled at her like just now. Bai Renxiang managed to return the smile and looked away. Now they were meeting as a business partner and she is a CEO. So she has to control herself from blushing like that day.
"Please have a seat," Li Fengjin said and they all sat.
"Should we order our food first or we should get down to business?" Wang Tingxiao asked.
"Business first please."
