Chapter 859: Chapter 860: A Fortuitous Encounter
Xia Yangyang stood up, “Forget it, since he’s gone out to eat, no need to call him back, it’s my fault for not telling him in advance.”
Fang Zhengdong spoke up, “What will you do then?”
Xia Yangyang smiled, “I’m fine, I’ll just have a boxed lunch. I’ll be leaving soon; it’s okay, it’s not worth bothering him over such a small matter.”
Fang Zhengdong still had a sowhat apologetic look on his face, as if Gu Qichen’s departure was his own dereliction of duty.
“Secretary Fang, please go ahead with your work.”
Secretary Fang nodded, “Next ti I will definitely inform the president in advance.”
Just as Fang Zhengdong was about to turn away,
Xia Yangyang suddenly called out to him, “Secretary Fang, the vice president you ntioned, is it Xi Zijun?”
Secretary Fang replied, “Yes.”
“Do they have lunch together every day?”
Fang Zhengdong said, “Please don’t get wrong, the president and the vice president are strategic partners. Recently, there has been a lot of trouble in the company. General Manager Jiang Chen has beco Shengyuan’s largest shareholder, advocating investnt in Yao City and aggressively acquiring pharmaceutical companies. There’s been a fallout at the board of directors. These past few days, the president has also been at his wits’ end. Normally, the cafeteria prepares als and sends them to the office. It’s rare for them to go out to eat together, and they probably need to discuss confidential business matters.”
Fang Zhengdong was eager to explain, seemingly worried that Xia Yangyang might misunderstand.
Xia Yangyang smiled lightly, “Secretary Fang, you don’t need to explain so much. It’s just a al, I won’t overthink it.”
It seed Secretary Fang let out a sigh of relief.
Xia Yangyang picked up the food box, intending to leave.
After Xia Yangyang left,
Fang Zhengdong thought it over and still felt sothing was off, so he decided to make a call to Gu Qichen.
After Xia Yangyang left the office, she still felt sowhat dejected.
She hadn’t walked far when she ran into Gu Zhaohan.
It was the first ti she had encountered Gu Zhaohan in the Shengyuan Building.
Xia Yangyang was quite surprised.
But then she rembered what Fang Zhengdong had just said about the big shareholder’s rise to power, and Gu Zhaohan imdiately ca to mind.
Gu Zhaohan had claid half of the Gu Family’s shares.
Now he was Shengyuan’s largest shareholder.
Xia Yangyang paused, “What a coincidence.”
Gu Zhaohan said, “It’s not a coincidence. I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Waiting for ? For what?”
“I saw you coming and wanted to talk to you for a mont.”
Gu Zhaohan noticed the food box in Xia Yangyang’s hand, “Have you finished eating?”
Xia Yangyang pouted, “Not yet.”
Gu Zhaohan suddenly spoke up, “I haven’t had lunch either.”
Xia Yangyang frowned, “With your stomach condition, how can you still be so careless.”
Xia Yangyang happened to have packed a bowl of seafood congee today.
She handed over the food box, “Here, this is for you then.”
Gu Zhaohan did not refuse, “Let’s eat together.”
But the place where they were standing was a hallway, with secretaries coming and going.
Xia Yangyang did not want to attract attention.
At that mont, Gu Zhaohan suddenly spoke, “Co with .”
He turned and walked away after speaking.
Xia Yangyang hesitated for a mont, but the food box was still in her hands.
She had no choice but to follow him.
To her surprise, Gu Zhaohan entered the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.
They eventually exited through a security passage to the rooftop of the Shengyuan Building.
Xia Yangyang had been to the Shengyuan Building countless tis.
But it was her first ti on the rooftop of Shengyuan.
She didn’t expect it to be such an open space.
Yet there was nothing on the rooftop, not even a table to set down the food box.
Xia Yangyang asked, “Why have you brought here? To sit on the ground?”
