"What's wrong with ?" Lin Chuan looked at Xiao Xue and said, "Where am I lacking?"
"Anyway, not as good as Bai Yifan." Xiao Xue snorted lightly, "If I had to choose, I would definitely choose Bai Yifan, not you!"
"Haha, that's why people like you can't beco a secretary." Lin Chuan laughed loudly.
"Xiao Xue, everyone has the right to make their own choices," Tang Yung held Xiao Xue's hand and said, "Choice is not just about appearances, but more about the heart. Don't just trust your eyes, trust your heart's choices as well. Understand?"
"Oh!" Xiao Xue didn't understand, but could only nod.
Tang Yung and Xiao Xue talked on the sofa for a long ti, while Lin Chuan leaned against the window smoking. Their voices were very soft, but he could hear them very clearly. It seed that they were persuading Xiao Xue to accept the news and keep it secret for them. After all, the relationship between himself and Lin Chuan wasn't simple, and once exposed, it would definitely face much criticism.
"Do you understand?" Tang Yung looked at Xiao Xue.
"I understand." Xiao Xue nodded and said, "But... what about later? Sooner or later, others will know about this."
"That..." Tang Yung smiled and said, "So things, let's just take it one step at a ti. If the day cos when it must be made public, we'll face it then. At least today is not that day."
After listening, Xiao Xue nodded and said, "Secretary Tang, I understand now."
"Alright, after talking for so long, you should go rest," Tang Yung said with a smile.
"Yes." Xiao Xue nodded, her face blushing. As she stood up, she saw Lin Chuan across the room. Their eyes t, and Xiao Xue's lips moved as if she wanted to say sothing. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Lin Chuan, you should treat Secretary Tang well. For Secretary Tang to choose you, it's like the blessing of eight lifetis."
"Of course." Lin Chuan nodded.
Xiao Xue hurried back to her room, closing the door softly and even locking it lightly.
Lin Chuan hastily put out his cigarette and moved closer to Tang Yung, awkwardly saying, "Sis, that little girl ruined it all, why don't we... why don't we start over?"
As he spoke, Lin Chuan imdiately kissed Tang Yung.
"Go, stand aside." Tang Yung quickly blocked Lin Chuan's face with her hand, saying, "Who's still in the mood for that? I don't want to anyway."
"Sis, it's not fair," Lin Chuan complained, "Here I am eager, and you're dousing cold water on ."
"The one dousing cold water isn't ." Tang Yung laughed, "It's Xiao Xue."
"That girl." Lin Chuan let out a frustrated breath and said, "She ruins everything, it's infuriating."
"Don't be angry," Tang Yung chuckled, "Thinking about it, I really was a bit reckless just now, shouldn't have been so impulsive."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan beca even more frustrated. Deep inside, he harbored a deep resentnt towards Xiao Xue. He had almost succeeded in winning over Tang Yung, but it was ruined by that girl. It's truly infuriating. What's more, if he planned to succeed in the future, it definitely wouldn't be so easy. Moreover, it would be very troubleso, rembering that last ti Tang Yung said that it seems necessary to wait until marriage.
Lin Chuan sat on the sofa with a distressed look, appearing quite dejected.
Tang Yung covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "What's wrong? Angry?"
"Not really," Lin Chuan shook his head, "I'm just a bit frustrated."
"Isn't that the sa as being angry?" Tang Yung laughed, "Co here, your sister will reward you with a kiss."
After speaking, Tang Yung kissed Lin Chuan on the cheek and said, "Alright, don't be mad. It's almost ti, and the representatives from the Zhu's Company will be arriving soon."
"Yes." Lin Chuan nodded. If the representatives from Zhu's Company arrived, there really wouldn't be any ti for personal matters, as today was about business, not personal romantic affairs. Lin Chuan straightened his clothes, and Tang Yung flipped his collar, smiling, "You rascal, don't keep a straight face later. Zhu's Company is also a foreign investnt group, we need to be friendly."
"Alright, I'll listen to you, sis," Lin Chuan nodded.
Not long after they were ready, Liu Dagu sent soone to invite Tang Yung and inford her that the representatives from Zhu's Company would arrive at Wujiang in half an hour, asking Secretary Tang to arrange the ti and prepare the welco for Zhu's Company's representatives.
"Okay, we'll co down right away," Tang Yung nodded.
As they left the hotel, Luo Guoqing and others were already waiting downstairs.
Since Lin Chuan and others had already checked into the hotel, they didn't disturb Tang Yung when they arrived. Now, seeing Lin Chuan and others co down, Luo Guoqing hurriedly greeted them.
"That car accident on the road was terrible," Luo Guoqing shuddered.
"Did you see it?" Lin Chuan smiled as he asked, without ntioning his own collision incident.
"Of course." Luo Guoqing nodded and said, "When we arrived, the traffic police were using a tow truck to pull away the rear eight-wheeler. Tsk tsk, the driver was a ss of mud. It was terribly tragic."
"That's why you have to be careful when driving." Lin Chuan laughed.
"Exactly." Luo Guoqing nodded, seemingly still haunted by the accident scene.
******** Tang Yung, along with the head of the propaganda departnt and comrades from the reception office, were all ready, a group of people standing at the hotel's main entrance, preparing to welco the delegation from Japan Zhu's Company.
Before long, two Toyota Crown cars slowly drove towards the hotel.
The cars stopped at the hotel's doorway. The hotel's doorn hurriedly went forward to open the doors. The first to erge was a woman, a tall woman in a black suit, enveloping her well-proportioned figure, and surprisingly she wore a black short skirt underneath, her legs very long.
"Mr. Fujii, we've arrived." The woman bowed deeply, a picture of utmost respect.
"Hmm." A middle-aged man nodded slightly and then erged.
Dressed in a crisp suit, wearing a hat on his head, and a small mustache characteristic of Japanese n on his lips, he looked up at the Sheraton Hotel indifferently.
At this mont, Liu Dagu hurriedly approached.
"Stop." At this point, two n in black stopped Liu Dagu.
"Uh..." Liu Dagu was taken aback and awkwardly said, "I am the Secretary of Wujiang County, welco Mr. Fujii."
Fujii glanced at Liu Dagu disdainfully and smirked, "Where are the leaders of Jiangbei City? Why haven't they co?"
"This... This person is." Liu Dagu hurriedly said, "Mr. Fujii, to welco you, Miss Tang Yung, the Secretary of Jiangbei City, ca early this morning. You see..."
Seeing that Fujii was so arrogant, Tang Yung also kept her poise. She walked over slowly, saying, "Mr. Fujii, hello, I am the leader of Jiangbei City you ntioned. Mr. Fujii sure carries a big air!"
Fujii looked at Tang Yung and chuckled, "Your reputation is indeed well-deserved, Miss Tang. So beautiful... truly a golden flower of Jiangbei City."
"Mr. Fujii flatters too much." Tang Yung smiled and then said, "I dare not accept the praise of being a golden flower from Mr. Fujii."
"Let's not stand here, co inside!" Liu Dagu said awkwardly, "I have already prepared a banquet at the hotel, just waiting for Mr. Fujii and Miss Qingzi to grace us. You must be tired from your journey and probably hungry too; perhaps we could eat and talk simultaneously, what do you think?"
"I didn't expect the Chinese really are crude." Fujii smiled faintly, "There's a saying, 'Do not speak while eating, do not talk in bed.' This is a teaching from ancient Chinese culture, so why have the Chinese thrown away their ancestors' ways so thoroughly? We Japanese eat when it's ti to eat and discuss matters when it's ti to discuss matters."
The group was imdiately dumbfounded and speechless, Liu Dagu awkwardly looked at Tang Yung. Tang Yung, furrowing her brows, seed to be wracking her brains on how to refute.
"Not everything from the ancients necessarily needs to be contested; we prefer to discard the dregs and keep the essence." Lin Chuan smiled, "Unlike the Japanese, who like to keep any dregs of culture. I heard that you Japanese like the 'toilet bowl culture'; is it true?"
"You!" A man imdiately retorted, saying, "Who is this person? How dare he slander us so openly?"
"Don't take him too seriously, he is just a driver." Liu Dagu hurriedly stepped in to diate, "Mr. Fujii is a dignified person, and it's beneath him to argue with a driver."
Fujii, curious, glanced at Lin Chuan and chuckled, "Alright, let's go inside and eat. Since we're here, let's follow the host's customs and eat while we talk."
"Luckily we're not in Japan, or else we would have to join them in eating from a toilet bowl." Lin Chuan grinned.
Pfft...
Xiao Xue covered her mouth and laughed, but after the tall Qingzi glared at her, she imdiately dared not laugh anymore. That woman had such sharp eyes, and it seed like there might be a hint of killing intent in them, sending chills down the spine.
"Mr. Fujii, this way please." Tang Yung smiled.
"No, Miss Tang, after you." Fujii bowed slightly, "In Japan, we are a very polite nation, ladies first."
"Since Mr. Fujii is being so courteous, then I won't stand on ceremony." Tang Yung, very graceful in both speech and deanor, walked ahead. Lin Chuan followed close by, always protecting Tang Yung, and of course, always ready to counter any challenge.
Being just a driver, he probably wouldn't be troubled much by the other party.
Tang Yung went in first, with Fujii and Qingzi following. Liu Dagu and a group of officials from Jiangbei City also entered. The banquet hall of the hotel was already set up. A very lavish table of dishes, all sorts of delicacies available, and on the table lay 52-degree Moutai and genuine French imported red wine.
A dozen or so people took their seats at the table.
As a driver, Lin Chuan naturally wasn't included and had to wait outside with Luo Guoqing and the others.
