Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi’s receding figure angrily and closed the laptop. Thick skin was the key to success must be a reference to Gu Juexi.
Meanwhile, PA Wen who got hung up on was still confused. Was it something he said?
Then again, he hadn’t seen Xiao Yaojing since yesterday so this might be a good chance to talk, PA Wen squinted at the numbers and thought.
He grabbed his phone while thinking about it and found Xiao Yaojing’s number. He took a deep breath and pressed on the “dial” b.u.t.ton.
The beeping went on but the call was not answered. PA Wen could feel his heart pounding, his heartbeat practically in sync with the beeping of the phone.
So was their relations.h.i.+p confirmed now?
Xiao Yaojing who just had her dinner was watching television when PA Wen called. She let out a humph when she saw the person calling and ignored the call.
How dare he only look for her now? Did he think that making the first move meant she had no temper?
How absurd!
The ringtone went on and on until Mrs. Xiao came out from her room. “Why aren’t you answering your phone?”
“No, he…”
“Is it Wen Tao? Why aren’t you answering? You shouldn’t be so wilful just because Wen Tao spoils you. Listen to mother, Jing Jing…”
“Alright, alright, Mom, I will answer the call. I will answer it now,” Xiao Yaojing quickly answered the call to shut her mom up.
Mrs. Xiao put on a complacent smile when Xiao Yaojing walked away to answer the call.
“What is it?” Xiao Yaojing asked fiercely after she exited the house to talk.
She was so loud that PA Wen had to put his phone away from his ear briefly, waiting for Xiao Yaojing to finish shouting. “It’s me.”
“I am not blind, I can see the caller ID.” She wouldn’t have been nagged at if it wasn’t for that caller ID.
PA Wen chuckled softly. Xiao Yaojing had a very short temper indeed, and he was so in love with that.
“What is it?” Xiao Yaojing was still mad, because PA Wen hasn’t called her since yesterday noon.
“Something came up at the office yesterday afternoon, and I had conferences in the afternoon and at night. I have been busy today too and just managed to sneak out for lunch to call you,” PA Wen reported his schedule for yesterday and today and didn’t dare tell Xiao Yaojing the real reason that he called.
“There is no one in the company who can work without Gu Juexi?” Xiao Yaojing scoffed.
“Have you heard about Xin Cheng Energy?” PA Wen probed.
“Yes I have, it has been going before I even left the bank. The tender should be somewhere around this time. Why, your company lost the tender?” asked Xiao Yaojing without holding back.
“Not yet, but we were thinking if we should just let it go,” PA Wen chuckled.
“Let it go?” Xiao Yaojing was in a lift and pressed the b.u.t.ton for the ground floor. “You dare let it go? Gu Juexi would kill you if you do, when has Gu Juexi ever let anything go?”
“No, have you been following Xin Cheng Energy?” said PA Wen, “They leaked some information recently, and everyone has jacked up their amount because of that.”
“It’s a bluff. Isn’t that the gimmick that everyone uses?”
“The point is someone actually increased their amount,” PA Wen interrupted Xiao Yaojing.
“Hah! So some dumba.s.ses actually bought the leaked information?” Xiao Yaojing mocked as she got out of the lift and asked, “So did you call me to talk about work, Wen Tao?”
