He was utterly beside himself, so flustered that he snatched the contract and frantically signed his na.
When Yan Xixi saw the contract, she smiled. The needle instantly vanished, and her eyes, charming and alluring, narrowed. "Thank you so much, Mr. Liang. I’ll treat you to a al again when I co to get the contract stamped tomorrow."
"No, no, that won’t be necessary! I’ll have soone get it stamped for you tomorrow. No, no, no! I’ll send soone with the company seal to you right away. You don’t need to co to the office to find ... Don’t ever look for again... Goodbye, Xiaoyan, goodbye..."
He fled as if pursued by a ghost.
Yan Xixi unhurriedly and carefully put the contract away. She walked to the window, just in ti to see Liang Sheng’s car speeding off.
After a good while, she leisurely made her way downstairs.
As she passed the street outside a Taoist temple, she paused briefly.
As she brushed past a blind man with a crutch, she stopped, smiled, and handed him a few banknotes. The blind man, likely not expecting any further reward, was overjoyed. "Thank you, thank you!"
When other blind people gathered around, she handed each of them a large bill as well.
The blind man with the crutch whispered, "Miss, if you need anything, feel free to call us anyti."
She smiled gently and drifted past gracefully.
Her cell phone buzzed nonstop. When she took it out to look, she saw there were already over a dozen ssages.
"Miss, are you trapped by Tubby?"
"Seriously, did you try to steal the chicken only to lose the rice instead?"
"If you’re in trouble, you need to call for help!"
She replied with gusto, "This palace has returned in victory."
"You’re just bragging. If you have the guts, send a picture."
"Apologies. Photos are never leaked."
Before the end of the workday, soone dispatched from the other company ca in person to stamp the contract.
Yan Xixi, smiling brightly, said, "Please pass on my thanks to Mr. Liang. I’ll treat him to another al soti."
"No, no need! Mr. Liang said you don’t need to contact him again."
Fu i, standing to one side, was in complete disbelief. Her eyes widened as she stared at Yan Xixi as if looking at a monster. Yan Xixi hadn’t gone to their company; instead, they had sent soone to stamp the contract—this was an incredibly rare occurrence!
Fu i closed her office door, her expression full of mystery. "Yan Xixi, how on earth did you manage that?"
Yan Xixi laughed. "Didn’t I treat him to lunch today?"
Lunch?! People usually invite Liang Sheng for dinner, don’t they? What man with ulterior motives would agree to a private lunch? Besides, Yan Xixi was only gone for two or three hours after taking leave. Deducting travel and alti, what could she possibly have accomplished?
"So, what did you two eat?"
Yan Xixi replied with a straight face, "at! Steak, lamb chops, seafood... I ordered a bit of everything."
Fu i chuckled. "That’s all?"
"I still owe Mr. Liang a al," Yan Xixi said. "But I doubt I’ll be able to treat him to that one. He probably won’t grace with his presence again."
But Fu i had heard it loud and clear: Mr. Liang’s ssenger had emphatically stated that Yan Xixi was not to contact Mr. Liang again. Suspicious, she asked, "What exactly did you say to Mr. Liang?"
Yan Xixi maintained her serious deanor. "I just said I’d treat him to another al next ti, but he clearly doesn’t want anything more to do with . What can I do? As the old saying goes, ’One only sees the new love’s smile; who ever hears the old love’s cry?’"
Fu i burst out laughing. "Never mind how! You’re really sothing, Yan Xixi! Since I promised you, I won’t go back on my word. This position is yours."
Yan Xixi bowed. "Thank you."
Just then, she received a text ssage. After a glance, she imdiately headed to the rooftop on the 18th floor.
