Chapter 1526: Eventually, They’re Going To Meet
When Jiang Chen said this, the room became quiet.
The atmosphere in the room turned a bit serious.
When he realized that everyone in the room looked at him nervously, he paused for a moment, then gently coughed.
“Uh, is there a problem?”
Sun Jiao’s expression was slightly embarra.s.sed as her fingers twiddled with her bang. She said while she felt restless.
“I, I’m not ready yet.”
“Oh, oh… it’s the women of the big pervert in this world, right?” While Lin Lin nodded, she nonchalantly stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth, then abruptly said, “Pervert.”
Yao Yao didn’t speak, and instead, she buried her head lower. Her attention was no longer on the milk in the bowl, but she began to eavesdrop with her ears raised. She was so focused that she accidentally sent the milk into her nose and splashed it all over her face.
As for Lilith, she still sat there without an expression while she observed the room.
“Ayesha, right? If I remember correctly… and Xia s.h.i.+yu,” Xiaorou gently put down her utensil, she pressed her finger against her lower lip as she said thoughtfully, “Who should I choose? ”
Who to choose?
Jiang Chen looked confused.
He had a bad feeling…
…
Future Building, top floor office.
Just like her usual workdays, Xia s.h.i.+yu worked in Future Building.
“Ms. Xia, this is the Bering Strait project summary,” the white-collar lady in professional office clothes put a doc.u.ment in front of Xia s.h.i.+yu, “Sundax Group ordered 90,000 tons of graphene materials and one 1.2 million tons of anti-corrosion cement, and subsea construction equipment from us. Future Heavy Industries has made the necessary adjustment to its production capacity. The CEO hopes that you can complete the approval of this project as soon as possible. This is a deal worth 30 billion UA dollars…”
“I see, put it here for now,” Xia s.h.i.+yu said concisely.
“Okay.”
The office lady nodded, and after she put down the file, she left the room.
Xia s.h.i.+yu leaned back against the chair, then rubbed her head. As she flipped open the doc.u.ment, she picked up the steaming coffee with her left hand and took a sip.
Although the Bering Strait project was a symbol of the friends.h.i.+p between the UA and Russia after Trump visited Russia, this project was actually led by Jiang Chen who operated it behind the scene. It was precisely because of this that Xia s.h.i.+yu was extremely cautious about this project.
Future Group was like her and Jiang Chen’s child. She watched the company gradually grow from a tech company into the behemoth today.
For her, it was everything to her career.
After she carefully reviewed every word on the doc.u.ment, Xia s.h.i.+yu picked up the pen and signed her name at the bottom of the doc.u.ment. Then, as if she just unloaded a heavy burden, she exhaled deeply and leaned back into her chair.
Although it only took half an hour to review the doc.u.ment, she had multiple meetings last week over this project. And this doc.u.ment was modified countless times, especially after Celestial Trade suddenly announced “Stellar System Highway Network” some time ago, and Future Heavy Industries’ production capacity had to be prioritized to that project…
Fortunately, without any setbacks, the project doc.u.ment was finalized.
“Maybe I should give myself a vacation tomorrow, and get Ayesha to go shopping with me.”
Xia s.h.i.+yu put her arms up and stretched out while she planned in her head. The most troublesome project approval for the Bering Strait project was finally completed, and there were no important meetings in the next few days on her schedule.
It was a great choice to go shopping with Ayesha, and it was one of the few leisure activities Xia s.h.i.+yu did in her free time.
Ayesha’s strong sense of fas.h.i.+on was worthy to be Xia s.h.i.+yu’s master. In contrast, Xia s.h.i.+yu’s style was her weakness. Apart from some dresses in her closet, the rest were all professional attire; even her mom scolded her over this and said that she did not dress feminine enough and that was why she still couldn’t take down Jiang Chen yet…
Okay, mom.
Xia s.h.i.+yu really wanted to tell her mom that her daughter was already taken down by him. But because she didn’t know how to explain the relations.h.i.+p between herself and Jiang Chen, as well as the “agreement” with Ayesha and Natasha, she chose to conceal the information and left everything to time.
Now that she recalled it, it had been many years since that day.
Xia s.h.i.+yu’s thoughts started to diverge as her body began to relax.
She couldn’t remember how she changed her mindset, recognized Ayesha’s ident.i.ty, and started to share Jiang Chen with her. However, she did remember that her mind was quite confused at that time but ultimately made that decision.
But now, she did not regret her decision.
She was surprisingly satisfied with her current life. Ayesha was as gentle as a little lamb, and never fought with her. And she had to admit that if it was just herself, it would be really difficult to satisfy a certain pervert…
After she thought of something unhealthy, Xia s.h.i.+yu suddenly blushed, and she shook her head quickly to get rid of the warm and fuzzy feeling and that smirking face from her head. She was usually very serious and never took a break during work hours. It was because of her att.i.tude that all the employees respected her.
If someone saw her like this, then the image she managed for so long would be completely destroyed
Unfortunately, at this time, the phone started to ring.
Xia s.h.i.+yu hurriedly sat up from the chair, sorted out her slightly messy bangs, cleared her throat, restored her unsmiling appearance, and pressed the holographic screen, and spoke seriously.
“h.e.l.lo?”
“Uh, it’s me.”
From the voice, it was Jiang Chen.
After all, he was the only one who could directly call into her office outside of her secretary. But Xia s.h.i.+yu felt something was a bit odd because Jiang Chen’s voice sounded weird.
Is there anything wrong?
“Didn’t you go back… there?” Xia s.h.i.+yu looked to her door, and she changed her words.
After all, she was in the office, and her secretary would come back soon to pick up her approved doc.u.ment. She had to be cautious to prevent unnecessary information from being heard by other people.
“Because of something, I came back early…” The expression on his face was a little awkward. He then turned around and stared at Xiaorou viciously as she was poking his back. Then he cleared his throat and finally made up his mind, “The thing I’ve been talking about has been completed.”
“Which thing?” Xia s.h.i.+yu had to think.
“That interdimensional travel… for people.”
Xia s.h.i.+yu was stunned.
The silence lasted for half a minute.
After she regained her clarity, she immediately spoke.
“Where are you now?”
“Coconut Island——”
“I’ll go see you!”
Before Jiang Chen could finish, Xia s.h.i.+yu hung up the phone and immediately left the room.
