Chapter 1618: Can Only Be A Regret (2)
Although they were playing chess, it seemed that everyone’s mind was not on the chessboard.
After half a game of it, the woman across him was already a little sleepy. She held her head with one hand and her starry eyes were half-closed. At a glance, her mind was not on the chessboard at all!
The storm outside was still ongoing, and the sound of thunder could be heard from time to time.
The next chess piece was already out, but she did not move for a long time. When he looked up, he realized that she had fallen asleep.
He chuckled softly and reached out to play with her hair. He did not see any reaction from her. After some thought, he put down the chess piece in his hand and slowly got up…
…
A joyous heavy rain fell, and the air was less hot. When the sun rose, the rain was less intense.
When Dongfang Liuyun woke up, Qi Lei was already gone, but breakfast was prepared. She simply finished her breakfast and went straight to the office.
Fortunately, Qi Lei set her alarm clock. Otherwise, she would have been late for work. She practically reached on the dot.
“Manager Yun, this is the doc.u.ment Manager Lin asked his secretary to send over. It’s an event for the Mid-autumn Festival’s new product launch next month. They let our Marketing Department plan it, this is the information. Take a look.”
At noon, when they were about to rest, secretary Ding Xiaoling suddenly brought a doc.u.ment over to Dongfang Liuyun.
Dongfang Liuyun frowned and took it. She flipped through it and found that it was indeed the doc.u.ment that Dongfang Rou’er had sent over yesterday.
She was not the least bit surprised. She knew that Dongfang Rou’er was someone who would not give up until she achieved her goal. As for how Lin Yuanyuan was like, she was also the clearest about it. However, the information that she had prepared was much more complete than yesterday.
“This is Vice President Zhang’s signature. By the way, Vice President Zhang said that we can ask the people in the Planning Department to cooperate with us.”
“I got it. Gather the people from the department and prepare for the meeting at three o’clock in the afternoon.”
Trying to show off?
Dongfang Liuyun smirked and closed the doc.u.ment with a ‘Pa’ sound. She reached out and took a doc.u.ment that she had prepared and handed it to Ding Xiaoling, “Make a few copies of this doc.u.ment. Everyone will have one copy for the meeting in the afternoon.”
“Okay, Manager Yun.”
Ding Xiaoling quickly replied, “It’s almost time to rest. Manager Yun, have your lunch first. President Gan asked you to go to his office directly.”
“Okay, tell your President Gan that I don’t need him to give me special treatment. I’ll settle it in the canteen of the company…”
However, as soon as Dongfang Liuyun said that, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Seeing that it was a call from Dongfang Gan, Dongfang Liuyun answered it—
“Father?”
“Your mother and I are in the Western restaurant opposite. Come down and have lunch.”
Dongfang Liuyun frowned and could only rub the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows helplessly. She packed the doc.u.ments and left the office.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Dongfang Gan and Song Siting had already ordered the food. Song Siting was skillfully cutting the steak for Dongfang Gan. Seeing her come over, Dongfang Gan quickly poured some juice for her.
“Who’s treating today?” Dongfang Liuyun sat down and elegantly took a towel to wipe her hands as she asked.
“Your father,” Song Siting replied while glancing sideways at Dongfang Liuyun.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun immediately waved at the waiter beside her and ordered a bottle of top-grade red wine.
“Did father buy a new bracelet? When did father become so tasteful?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s sharp eyes quickly discovered the bracelet on Song Siting’s wrist. She glanced at Dongfang Gan in surprise.
Song Siting’s gaze also paused for a moment. She glanced at the bracelet on her wrist with satisfaction and did not reply. However, Dongfang Liuyun could guess who it was. Her eyes darkened for a moment before she lowered his head, she quietly cut her steak.
The sudden silence caused Dongfang Gan to frown. He glanced at Dongfang Liuyun and looked at Song Siting with some dissatisfaction. In a low voice, he asked, “You have so many accessories. Why do you have to wear this?”
Song Siting’s expression sunk slightly. She inhaled a breath of air before she extended her hand and forcefully removed the bracelet on her wrist. Then, she kept it in her bag—
She had gone out early today and liked it, so she brought it with her. She did not think too much about it. However, seeing Dongfang Liuyun’s indifferent expression, Song Siting felt a little uncomfortable. She thought about it and explained, “Fujiwara asked someone to bring it to me for my birthday last year. You weren’t there either.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not respond. She ate a steak and took a sip of wine. Then, she looked up at Dongfang Gan and said, “Lin Yuanyuan asked me to take care of the Mid-autumn Festival’s new product launch event. I hope that you won’t get involved, father.”
“Wasn’t this matter left to the Public Relations department and the Planning Department to work on together?” Dongfang Gan frowned.
“They’re rushing to show me who’s boss. It’s fine. I’ve roughly looked through the information. It’s still not too late to prepare now,” Dongfang Liuyun replied indifferently.
“You can do whatever you want. I can’t stop you from doing whatever you want. However, if there’s anything you need, you can consult Ah Ling. She has been in the company for many years and is very familiar with all aspects of the situation. She’s very loyal.”
“Can you guarantee that you didn’t send her here to watch over me?”
“You’re gauging the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure!”
“Did you just find out how your daughter’s like?”
Dongfang Gan said so, and Song Siting agreed. At this moment, the atmosphere between the few of them finally eased up a little.
After lunch, Song Siting went straight back to her office. Dongfang Gan and Dongfang Liuyun were still sitting and having some drinks.
“That’s how your mother’s like. She’s also a little careless. Don’t take it to heart. I discussed the matter between you and Qi Lei yesterday. Since it’s already a foregone conclusion, it’s useless for us to oppose it.”
“Yeah, he’s been through a lot too. Father, I hope you can love him as much as you love me. I feel moved by him. You know how the Qi family is. No matter what, I trust that he’s a good person.”
“So you’re set on him, aren’t you?” Dongfang Gan asked, his eyes filled with a deep light, “Lan Xiu and Fujiwara, you both…”
“Yes. If being with him makes my life more peaceful and happy then I think that’d be pretty good.”
Dongfang Gan sighed softly after Dongfang Liuyun said this, “Since you’ve already said that, what else can I say? Actually, Qi Lei called me this morning and personally agreed to the appointment for afternoon the day after tomorrow. He’s quite sincere. I told your mother about what’s happening next Sat.u.r.day. Since she didn’t say anything, it means that she tacitly agreed. I’m a little worried about your grandmother now.”
