Chapter 143 - One Day Of Not Seeing Each Other Felt Like Three Autumns
"It was clearly that so-called artist who was spouting nonsense, but the netizens were still so enthusiastic. The company leader even called me just now. How do you think this matter should be resolved?"
In the past, no matter what happened, Chen Yun would never look for Xia Wanyuan. One reason was that she would not care, and the other was that asking her was equivalent to not asking.
But at some point in time, whenever something happened, Chen Yun would always subconsciously ask Xia Wanyuan what she thought, as if he was looking for a backbone.
"I"ll take a look at Weibo later. Don"t worry."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan opened the Weibo account that she rarely used. She casually clicked on a comment to @ her and found Guo Tian"s Weibo post.
In fact, counting the decades in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan was actually not only twenty years old.
No one would believe that her piano skills were played by a 20-year-old girl. It was normal for Guo Tian to not believe it.
Xia Wanyuan casually swiped upwards and saw the link to the payment for his own song that Guo Tian had sent.
It was a stark contrast to the criticism that he had given to Xia Wanyuan about her tarnis.h.i.+ng the Feng Xiqin with copper.
Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. She had not planned to bicker with this artist. After all, in a sense, what he said was not a problem.
However, the act of scolding her to attract attention and then using it to sell his works was really despicable.
Just as she was about to call Chen Yun back, she unexpectedly received a call from Shen Qian.
Shen Qian was an extremely capable person. If there was nothing wrong, he wouldn"t have called her. Xia Wanyuan wondered if there was a problem with the Xia family"s company.
"h.e.l.lo."
"h.e.l.lo, Director Xia, there"s a problem with the capital chain." Shen Qian was in a difficult position.
"What is the specific problem?"
"The 50 million you gave me has already arrived, but the 20 million we agreed on with the China Xuan Fund hasn"t arrived yet. I"ve tried my best to negotiate, but CEO Xuan sent news that he wants you to personally go and negotiate."
Shen Qian used all sorts of methods but still couldn"t move the China Xuan Fund in the slightest. The other party had pointed out that he wanted Xia Wanyuan to negotiate, so Shen Qian had no choice but to come and look for Xia Wanyuan.
"Got it. Do your other work first. I"ll settle this."
Xia Wanyuan could not see through Xuan Sheng. He was too fickle. He was making things difficult for her after signing the contract with the Xia family company last time.
"When did I ask you to change your spokesperson?"
In the office of Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng was wearing a black s.h.i.+rt with the b.u.t.tons only b.u.t.toned up to his chest. He leaned lazily on the chair and tapped the table from time to time.
His originally soft voice was very prominent in the quiet office. Every sound frightened Manager Liu, who was standing in front of the desk, until he broke out in a cold sweat.
He was the person in charge of a subsidiary company that could not be any lower anymore. When he suddenly received a call from the headquarters of the corporation today, he was extremely uneasy. Thinking of the matter with Xia Wanyuan, he wondered if the headquarters had regretted it again.
After he arrived, the secretary dragged him to the Crown Prince of Glory World Corporation, Xuan Sheng. He felt that his life was not good anymore.
"Young Master… Yes… It"s like this. Back then, I asked the people at the headquarters and they told me that we should select our spokesperson according to the rules… so I…"
When he heard Xuan Sheng"s questioning tone, Manager Liu cursed in his heart. There must be a problem with the spokesperson this time. Hence, his voice trembled when he answered the question.
"Ha." Xuan Sheng suddenly laughed softly.
Manager Liu looked up and met Xuan Sheng"s smiling amorous eyes. His heart turned cold.
"Select according to the rules? You chose such trash?"
"I know I was wrong. Young Master, I"ll get them to cancel the contract with Ruan Yingyu when I get back." The person-in-charge clenched his fists nervously. His career would probably be over today.
"No need, give it to her. As for you, you"re useless. You can go."
That so-called Ruan person had also let him get to know Xia Wanyuan. He would just treat it as a return gift.
"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master." Manager Liu had long expected to be fired and had been extremely nervous. Now that Xuan Sheng had finished speaking, he felt as if the rock in his heart had been put down.
"Young Master, Miss Xia is here." The a.s.sistant knocked on the door and entered to inform Xuan Sheng.
"Let"s go." With that, Xuan Sheng stood up and left with his a.s.sistant. Manager Liu quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead and left the office.
After being brought into Xuan Sheng"s private office by the secretary, Xia Wanyuan removed her sungla.s.ses and mask.
Unlike the arrogance and charm that Xuan Sheng displayed, his office style was not exaggerated. Instead, it exuded a low-key luxury.
Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa. On the table in front of her was a messy chessboard. After taking a serious look, she realized that this was a dead game.
"Miss Xia."
Xuan Sheng pushed open the office door and saw a beautiful and exquisite side profile. His eyes lit up.
"CEO Xuan." Xia Wanyuan stood up. Although she was unhappy with Xuan Sheng"s teasing last time, as an investor of the Xia family company, Xia Wanyuan should be courteous.
"Tsk, Miss Xia, you"re treating me like an outsider. Just call me Xuan Sheng." Xuan Sheng walked to sit opposite Xia Wanyuan and stretched out his hand, indicating for her to sit.
]"The contract has already been signed. CEO Xuan, are you going back on your word?" Xia Wanyuan was not familiar with Xuan Sheng, so she did not think of calling his name directly.
"Of course not." Xuan Sheng poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Xia Wanyuan. "Miss Xia, have you heard of an ancient saying?"
Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, signaling Xuan Sheng to continue.
"A day apart feels like three autumns."
Xuan Sheng sat back on the sofa and tilted his head. His black ear studs exuded a hint of evilness, and his amorous peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles. "It"s been more than ten autumns since I separated from Miss Xia last time. I miss you so much. Miss Xia, you"re so difficult to invite, so I can only do this."
In fact, Xuan Sheng did not expect Xia Wanyuan to really come. After all, an investment of 20 million dollars was nothing to Jun s.h.i.+ling.
As long as Xia Wanyuan told Jun s.h.i.+ling, the money would be easy to get. There was no need to discuss investments with him.
In the end, Xia Wanyuan really came. It seemed that their relations.h.i.+p was not as close as he had imagined.
"Oh." Xia Wanyuan"s expression was as usual. She even drank a mouthful of tea calmly.
Xuan Sheng had thought of countless possible reactions from Xia Wanyuan, but he had never thought of this.
Looking at Xia Wanyuan"s indifferent expression, Xuan Sheng felt that it was very interesting. He could not help but smile.
"Miss Xia, do you usually treat your admirers like this?"
"No one admires me." Xia Wanyuan swallowed a mouthful of tea and savored the aftertaste. She felt that Xuan Sheng"s tea was not bad. "What"s the name of your tea?"
