"No... I can"t leave you alone." Xianw.a.n.g replied hurriedly."Huh!" Yuerui gave a confused look.
"I mean, I can"t let a female employee go alone. Since you came with me, you are my responsibility."
"It"s okay, Boss. I can manage." Yuerui insisted.
"Mr. Han and I are going the j.a.panese restaurant nearby. Come with us until we finish. Then I"ll drop you home. I hope it"s okay with you Mr. Han." Xianw.a.n.g said.
Yefang didn"t say anything only nodded.
"You don"t have to do this. I can really manage." Yuerui still insisted.
"That"s an order." Xianw.a.n.g said in serious tone.
In the end, Yuerui had to go with them against her will.
In the j.a.panese restaurant, they booked a private room for their meeting.
The two CEOs were busy in discussing their projects. They have got two government projects in their hands like a flyover construction and a bridge construction.
Yuerui didn"t bother them and was busy in seeing a kdrama while putting earphone in her ears and eating delicious j.a.panese desserts.
Out off consciousness Yuerui looked at the the presentation that Yefang was showing.
It showed the plan of the flyover they are going to construct. Yuerui saw that one of the span in the plan, was 100 metres while others were 10 metres.
"What the h.e.l.l?" she got excited.
Yuerui put off her earphones and said, "Excuse me, boss. I think there is a typing mistake there. It should be 10 metres span not 100 metres over there." Yuerui said in clear voice and pointed out the mistake.
"O yes. There is. It should be 10 metres, Mr Han." Xianw.a.n.g saw the error and told Yefang about it.
"Oh!" Yefang didn"t say anything else and started to fix it.
"Huh! Seriously how can the government gave such an important project to these two blinds. They can"t even notice such an error. If it was not for me then they would have made a fragile flyover. And it could cause severe accident. Huh! You two should thank me." Yuerui thought with great pride as if she has saved people from unwanted accident.
While she was busy in her own pride Xianw.a.n.g asked her, "How did you figure out that it would be 10, Ms. Mai? Do you know what span is?"
"Huh!" Yuerui looked at Xianw.a.n.g.
"Well... Um..." While she was thinking to answer, your eyes fell on the silent Yefang.
She was surprised when she saw one side of his lips curl into a smile while looking at her.
"c.r.a.p! I had been set up." Yuerui wanted to dug a grave and die. All this time she had been ignoring him and now she responded on his trick.
Yefang is an architect. And it was him who taught her about some basic topics of architecture. Today she was about to tell the error because of what she learned from him. So this was a proof that she still hasn"t forgotten him.
"Umm.. well, I learned it from a cla.s.smate of mine from University." She replied to Xianw.a.n.g.
"Oh..."
After that Yuerui kept her head down. She didn"t wanted to stay there anymore. So she called for a cab immediately.
After about 10 minutes her cab came. She stood up from her seat and said to Xianw.a.n.g, "Boss I think it"s gonna be late. So I will take my leave first."
"Oh, then wait a minute, we are almost over. I will drop you." Xianw.a.n.g said.
"No, it"s okay. I have already called for a cab. And it"s waiting outside. You take your time. Good night." Saying so Yuerui left.
---------
Yuerui was in a hurry. She wanted to leave as soon as possible. Before going out she went to the washroom to freshen up.
She washed her face with splash of water to calm herself down.
When wiped her face with paper tower and threw it in the bin. She fixed her hair, put on her gla.s.ses and left.
But when she was about to leave she saw Han Yefang leaning against the wall of the corridor outside the washroom. He put both his hands in his pockets, bend his left leg pressing against the wall while keeping his head down.
When she came out of the washroom he looked at her and gave a gentle smile.
This is the smile which has melted her heart everytime she saw him. But now, this smile is like a smile full of mockery to her.
Yuerui saw him for a second then turned her head and walked pa.s.sed him. She totally ignored him. But she was stopped by his husky and heavy voice.
"It"s been 5 years since we met. And you didn"t even say hi to me? I am not that scary." Yefang said in a disappointed tone.
Yuerui didn"t say anything. She heard what he said then started to walk. But she was again stopped when he said from behind, "I am really hurt."
Yuerui"s head boiled with anger. She was so agitated that she cleaned her hands fiercely, digging her delicate palm with her nails. Blood started to flow from her hand.
"Huh! HURT! And you? You don"t know what it means when someone is actually hurt." Yuerui thought.
Yuerui didn"t say anything. She tilted her head to her right side, she gave him a look and continued to walk through the corridor and left.
Yuerui tried to maintain as calm as possible. She actully wanted to run away. But she is not coward. She doesn"t want him to know that he has any influence on her life.
As soon as she left the corridor she ran towards her cab and told the driver to go as fast as possible. She didn"t even gave attention that her hand was bleeding.
--------
After Yuerui left, Han Yefang also left the room with an excuse of going to the washroom leaving Xianw.a.n.g alone on the room.
While he was alone he was thinking of Yuerui. .
"That girl, really is something. Always tries to run away. I told her that I will drop her. But, no! Why does she always reject me?" Xianw.a.n.g said to himself as he took a piece of mochi in his mouth.
His eyes fell on the screen and again he thought how she pointed out the error.
He didn"t thought that she knew what a span is. So unknowingly she again amazed him.
***Span= distance between two adjacent pillars of a flyover.
