Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Struck by a bright idea, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said hurriedly, “I’m hungry.”
How could she possibly keep her simplistic intentions hidden from Han Zhuoling?
Han Zhuoling’s face showed that he clearly understood them. As s.h.i.+ Xiaoya stared at his face, she felt very guilty.
“Let’s go get something to eat,” Han Zhuoling said, deciding not to scare her anymore.
As expected, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly climbed down from Han Zhuoling’s thighs.
“What should we have for lunch?” Han Zhuoling asked her.
“I want to eat barbecued meat. It’s just that the heavy smell sticks to you,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.
She did not have many work-related matters to deal with in the afternoon, but Han Zhuoling still had to work.
“Sure,” Han Zhuoling said. “I know a place nearby that exhausts the smoke out pretty well. Our clothes won’t smell after we’re done eating.”
The moment s.h.i.+ Xiaoya heard that, she immediately said happily, “Then quickly, take me there.”
Han Zhuoling grinned and held her hand before they left together.
“If you already knew about it, why didn’t you take me there earlier?” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya grumbled.
“Don’t we need to go one restaurant at a time? I brought you to a different restaurant last time. It wasn’t time for this one then,” Han Zhuoling explained with a smile.
Han Zhuoling did not have much of a desire to seek out good food. However, knowing that his girl was a little foodie, he would make note of restaurants he heard others compliment or ones he had had work lunches at and found to be pretty good.
It was because he wanted to bring s.h.i.+ Xiaoya out to eat again.
The two people chatted and laughed as they walked to the elevator doors.
Han Zhuoling pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton, and before long, the elevator doors opened.
However, the person who walked out of the elevator made the two people blank out at the same time.
It was Lian Qingyin.
Lian Qingyin was currently with the manufacturing department’s Manager Zheng.
The two people did not expect to see Han Zhuoling and s.h.i.+ Xiaoya there the moment they walked out of the elevator.
Lian Qingyin was extremely happy and automatically ignored s.h.i.+ Xiaoya. She felt that this meeting was due to the fate she shared with Han Zhuoling.
Otherwise, why would she so happen to encounter him the day she came over to discuss work matters?
Lian Qingyin hurriedly said with pleasant surprise, “Zhuoling, what a coincidence.”
Han Zhuoling’s brows knitted together. He did not give a response.
Manager Zheng asked with a calm and collected expression, “What’s going on?”
Having just heard Lian Qingyin call Han Zhuoling so intimately, Manager Zheng wanted to comment that things were truly as Lian Qingyin had said—she did have a really good relations.h.i.+p with Han Zhuoling.
However, Han Zhuoling’s expression was unexpectedly unsightly. It was like he did not have much of a relations.h.i.+p at all with Lian Qingyin.
Manager Zheng felt there was something strange about this, so he said honestly, “CEO Lian came over to discuss a collaboration on a film.”
When Lian Qingyin was overseas previously, she worked at a filmmaking company.
Presently, the domestic market was getting bigger and bigger. In particular, the Han Corporation had even acquired a Hollywood company that made films and television series.
Naturally, it was impossible for Lian Qingyin’s company in Hollywood to ignore the Han Corporation’s continually growing presence while they did not advance any further.
Additionally, Lian Qingyin’s company felt they had very good prospects in the domestic market, so they established a subsidiary company here.
They specialized in targeting the domestic film market, so they hoped to collaborate and invest with some domestic entertainment companies to make some major blockbuster films on an international scale.
Lian Qingyin’s company had sent her over specifically to be in charge of the domestic negotiations.
How could Lian Qingyin not have seized such a good opportunity?
Now, Lian Qingyin could make the decisions regarding all collaboration and investment matters for both the domestic subsidiary as well as the main company overseas.
Lian Qingyin could make the decisions completely on her own as to how much they would invest and who they would collaborate with. After that, she just needed to report it to the general headquarters.
As such, Lian Qingyin took advantage of the convenience that came with her position and immediately went to the Han Corporation.
She wanted to seize the opportunity to collaborate with the Han Corporation so that she could interact with Han Zhuoling a lot.
“After we finished talking about business, CEO Lian said that she’s old schoolmates with you and that you have a very good relations.h.i.+p.. She wanted to come over and greet you,” Manager Zheng said.
