It’s already after work, so going to Imperial Group for a discussion isn’t inappropriate.
Moreover, Jing Building is only a five-minute drive from Imperial Group, no wonder Uncle chose this place.
The ones waiting for Xia Yinian and Yuan Yaying are not Gu Beicheng, but nine other Alchemy Scholars.
Maybe Uncle hasn’t arrived yet, everyone is sitting by the long table waiting.
Among the nine people, there are two Caucasians, one African, and the rest have yellow skin.
Uncle has his own Alchemy Team, so Xia Yinian wasn’t surprised, she just didn’t expect to see Qin Mufeng here.
Not only was she surprised, but even Yuan Yaying felt the sa.
"Professor Qin, you’re... here too?" Xia Yinian approached Qin Mufeng directly.
"Yes, I’m here on a part-ti basis." Qin Mufeng smiled and nodded.
Xia Yinian didn’t object, since Master was here part-timing, she was more than happy to collaborate with him.
After Yuan Yaying also greeted Qin Mufeng, the two newly arrived girls sat down.
About five minutes later, the door of the eting room was opened from the outside.
The imposing and cold Gu Beicheng appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
This eting room isn’t very large, one could say it’s small by the standards of a big enterprise like Imperial Group.
However, looking at the interior decoration, Xia Yinian could guess it was used for important core etings.
Also, since it’s on the sa floor as the CEO’s office, she was sure of her guess.
The one who opened the door was Chi He, and Gu Beicheng, in formal attire, walked in.
Not seeing him for a few days, it seed the man’s chilliness had increased.
Maybe his hair was recently trimd, a bit shorter, but it didn’t affect his handsoness.
His bangs weren’t long, and his thick eyebrows were fully visible to everyone.
Below his sword-like brows were sharp eyes, like a deep pool, at first glance the water seed clear, yet no one seed able to see what lay at the bottom.
Although Uncle wasn’t looking at her, Xia Yinian could see his fatigue between his brows.
His high nose bridge and lightly pursed thin lips made him look even colder than before.
The man was like a central air conditioner, as soon as he entered, waves of chill swept over, and the temperature in the eting room dropped several degrees.
Uncle has always been a symbol of aloofness, and today, he carried an even greater sense of detachnt.
This was the first ti Xia Yinian felt such a sensation.
Not everyone could notice that he was in a bad mood, after all, in such a stern eting, it’s normal for Seventh Young Master to have a neutral expression.
But, Xia Yinian was very sure of this point.
Why did she feel that Uncle had a weary and detached attitude towards life today? Was it because of his engagent to Yu Wanqing?
Maybe, no one likes being coerced, especially soone as strong-willed as Uncle.
No matter if he had feelings for Wanqing or not, such coercion was extrely repulsive to him.
However, for the Old Madam, Uncle had no choice but to agree.
Gu Beicheng breezed in like a cold wind, took the main seat, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
The eting room was silent.
"I assu everyone knows why I’ve gathered you here today..."
Unlike before, in today’s eting, Gu Beicheng personally spoke, while Chi He only handled so small secretarial duties.
For the first ti attending a eting with Uncle in the eting room, Xia Yinian truly experienced Uncle’s charm while working.
