Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Since it was not their first time here, the mother-daughter pair showed themselves to Lily’s salon after alighting from the taxi.
The moment they entered the main hall, they saw Madam Ji waiting for them in one of the lounge chairs.
“Manhua, Ge Ge, you’re here.”
The woman stood up once she saw them and approached.
“Ohhh! My soon-to-be daughter-in-law looks especially pretty today!”
She grasped a pair of hands with a smile, praising the owner of those hands sincerely.
“Er...”
Pei Ge blinked at the smiling woman and touched her nose. “Er... Auntie, you’ve got the wrong person...”
As she watched the woman grab her mother’s hands, she did not know whether to laugh or cry...
Okay, fine. The image was really funny.
Zhang Manhua stared confusedly at the other woman and started coughing lightly in exasperation.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Thereafter, she casually retrieved her hands from the other woman’s grasp.
Before she could remove them completely, the other grabbed them tightly again and then reached out for Pei Ge’s hand.
“Ha ha! Of course, I know that you’re Manhua. I was just kidding with you two. Got shocked by this, huh?”
Madam Ji stared at this mother-daughter pair happily. A smug was smile on her face once she got away with her prank.
Zhang Manhua: My in-law is quite the joker!
Pei Ge: Er... Auntie, I don’t feel like laughing anymore after your explanation.
As the three chatted, Lily appeared in the lobby after he learned of their arrival.
“Ge Ge, don’t stand and chat in the lobby anymore. Hurry and follow me! Today is one of the most important days in your life. Our time is tight!”
He hurriedly pulled her into the makeup room the moment he arrived.
What she saw first were the three dresses that she had worn when taking the engagement photos.
“My dear lady, stop looking around. We’re running tight on time. Your engagement party begins at ten this morning. You should be at the venue by eleven. It’s almost eight, so that only leaves us with barely enough time.”
He turned her head back when he saw her turning to look at the dresses.
“Do we really need much time for makeup?” The usual styling sessions did not take that long.
She looked confusedly at him.
“Come on; today is your engagement party! This is different from the usual events. Of course, I gotta spend more time. Okay. From now on, you close your eyes and take orders from me.”
After he was done speaking, he directed his assistants around and got busy.
From the couch, both mothers watched the stylist get her ready with a smile.
The two looked really cozy as they chatted about the engagement party.
” Sigh ... That silly boy of mine probably didn’t sleep well last night.”
“Really? That silly girl of mine slept especially well last night.”
“That silly son of mine probably isn’t even in the mood for work.”
“He he! My silly daughter is really nervous about it, too.”
At this time, the other person in question, Ji Ziming was, as his mother predicted, not in the mood to work.
If the negotiations were not crucial to the company, and both the dates and person in charge could not be changed, he would already be beside his woman.
He was already with her in mind, of course.
Pak!
The slamming of a folder on the table of the conference room silenced the people debating about the ongoing negotiation.
Several people in the room, dressed in business suits, looked at the man at the center seat.
Under their burning gazes, he coldly stared back at everyone in the room.
“The final proposal is as you see. If you’re not okay with it, then there’s no need to waste one another’s time.”
He then raised his hand and looked at the limited-edition Patek Phillipe watch on his wrist.
“My time is really precious.” Especially today.
The atmosphere in the conference room took a turn for the worse in that instant.
Everyone was stunned by his behavior.
Those who had prepared themselves for a long negotiation and debate felt unsure of how they should react to his direct behavior.
“...”
For the first time since the meeting began, there was complete silence in the room.
When he saw that no one was speaking, he raised his hand and loosened his tie.
His dark eyes once more swept across everyone in the room coldly before he stood up from his seat.
“I’ll be taking my leave first.”
He stared coldly at these Caucasians and said in his frosty voice.
Everyone was shocked by the way he decisively upped and left the conference room.
They did not expect the CEO of this company to behave in an outlandish manner at such an important conference.
The people that he was originally negotiating with thought that the famous CEO was playing tricks with them, but...
“Mr. Smith, I’m so sorry. Our boss is getting engaged today. My sincere apologies.”
