From City to B-City was about a 2 hour flight. However because of flight delays, by the time Yan Liang and Liang Xi Cheng disembarked, lunchtime had already pa.s.sed. In the morning, Yan Liang rushed out the door and so didn"t eat much. She planned on eating the airplane meal, but because Liang Xi Cheng didn"t eat, she felt awkward to be the only one eating. She simply went hungry like him. By now she was so hungry her stomach was touching her back. Adding on that B-City"s climate was more cold and wet and Yan Liang wasn"t wearing much, frigid air a.s.saulted her senses once she left the airport. She couldn"t resist letting go of the suitcase handle and drawing together her collar.
She was really starving and freezing!
The man standing next to her didn"t look that good either.
She wasn"t sure if she was mistaken or not, but she kept feeling like Liang Xi Cheng"s handsome face was started to have a light gray pallor. Occasionally he furrowed his strong brows like he was in pain.
Was he also......starving?
The branch office in B-City had already sent a car to pick them up. The car was parked outside in the VIP pa.s.sage. The branch office"s general manager and the driver were respectfully waiting at the exit.
"Chairman Liang!" Seeing Liang Xi Cheng exit, the general manager welcomed him warmly. Off to the side people immediately helped Yan Liang put the luggage in the trunk. Then she heard the general manager ask, "This is Chairman Liang"s......"
"My secretary." Liang Xi Cheng"s voice was originally deep. Right now because he wasn"t feeling well, it was even colder and stiffer, "Let"s get in."
Yan Liang didn"t have time to introduce herself when the general manager and the driver went around to enter the car.
Naturally, Liang Xi Cheng couldn"t sit in the front pa.s.senger seat. The general manager naturally sat in the front. Yan Liang had no choice. She could only sit in the back with Liang Xi Cheng.
The inside of the car was originally cramped. Because the two were sitting side-by-side, it seemed ever more cramped. Yan Liang calmly inched toward the side. With a sweep of her eyes, she saw Liang Xi Cheng lift up his wrist and look at his watch. Then she heard his deep voice ask, "Will we be late?"
Yan Liang understood. Tonight they had a dinner party to attend. Furthermore, they would have to deal with B-City"s elite political circles. B-City had a construction project with links to the government. Liang Xi Cheng personally came to B-City. Naturally he wanted to obtain the project in one move.
"Chairman Liang, the hotel is already prepared. We should be there just in time." The general manager who was sitting in the front turned around. He carefully looked at Liang Xi Cheng"s complexion. He was shrewd and naturally saw Liang Xi Cheng looked tired. He immediately said, "In a moment, Chairman Liang, you can go ahead a rest in the room. I"ll get people to push back the dinner party by half an hour......"
"No need." Liang Xi Cheng leaned against the seat and closed his eyes. His mild voice had an air of inflexibility, "The original start time will be the start time."
The general manager naturally didn"t dare to say any more. He murmured in agreement and then immediately got people to arrange it.
The entire time Yan Liang sat quietly by the side. Only now did she dare to secretly turn to look at Liang Xi Cheng. Actually she just happened to see him press a hand to his stomach and tightly knit his eyebrows. There was also cold sweat on his forehead......
