Chapter 553: Getting to the Point
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“President Shan, don’t take this small matter to heart. If it weren’t for you, 1 might have no children now.” Dong Peng was still grateful to Shan Yue from the bottom of his heart. This was because she had saved his son’s life twice and could be considered the savior of the Dong family. “He’s been clamoring to learn how to drive from you after his injuries recover.”
“Of course there’s no problem. Learning how to drive is a small matter. There’s still a long time in the future. There will be plenty of opportunities for him to learn. However, we still have to prioritize our bodies for now. We have to recover well. Once our bodies collapse, we’ll have nothing.”
The two of them chatted briefly after meeting to kill time and wait for Zhou Xuan’s arrival.
After drinking half a cup of tea, footsteps could be heard in the corridor outside the office.
“Shan Yue, I’m here with the gown…” Zhou Xuan’s tone was light, but he was halfway through his sentence when he noticed that Shan Yue was not the only one sitting in the office. Dong Peng was also there.
With the sweet relations.h.i.+p between Shan Yue and Zhou Xuan, Dong Peng seemed like an outsider here. This forced him to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth and put on an ordinary face again.
“What a coincidence. Why is President Dong here today? Could it be that you’re looking for President Shan for something?” Zhou Xuan’s tone returned to normal, but it was not as cold as before. “The bosses of three companies in our Federation’s Central City are actually gathered here. This is indeed a rare thing.”
As the boss of the company, Dong Peng was naturally very concerned about the real-time hot news, so he also knew the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them.
In order to prevent Zhou Xuan from misunderstanding, Dong Peng hurriedly explained, “President Zhou, don’t think too much. President Shan said that he wanted to discuss the future plans of the various companies, so I came over.”
Dong Peng smiled. “1 thought you already knew that we were all here.”
“I’m the one who called the two of you over. After all, the situation in the Federation’s Central City is getting less and less optimistic for us. I think it’s necessary to pay attention in advance.”
Before Zhou Xuan could speak, Shan Yue spoke first. “Since everyone is here now, let’s talk business first. It won’t be too late to talk about private matters later.”
Shan Yue deliberately dragged her tone. As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Xuan, who was still standing at the door.
The moment their eyes met, Zhou Xuan immediately understood the meaning. She had called him over on the phone just now. Firstly, he did need to send the gown over. Secondly, she had called him over to discuss something, but she did not say the second thing.
“Uncle Dong, you’re being too polite. We’ve been friends for so many years and are already familiar with each other. How could I misunderstand you?”
Zhou Xuan quickly reacted and did not let the situation fall into an awkward situation. “It’s just that we haven’t seen each other for a while. I was a little surprised to see you when I came in.”
“If someone else called me today, I definitely wouldn’t even go. After all, I, Dong Peng, am not someone anyone can order around.”
Dong Peng’s slightly wrinkled face curled up. “But President Shan is different. As long as President Shan calls me, I’ll take the time to come over no matter how busy I am. It’s only because her ability and temperament are unparalleled among her peers.”
“Alright, alright. Why are you talking about me again? Whether it’s my ability or my experience in doing things, I’m not worth mentioning in front of the two of you.”
Although Shan Yue was not embarra.s.sed, she still waved her hand. “Let’s not continue wasting time. The two of you are not idlers. Let’s get straight to the point.”
After saying that, Zhou Xuan placed the gift box in his hand on the sofa and sat beside Dong Peng.
“I believe the two of you have learned through some information channels that the Yang Corporation is about to replace the Gao Corporation and enter the Federation’s Central City to develop. The first thing they will do when they enter is definitely use various methods to make themselves famous and establish their brand advantage. There are only the three of us here, and there are no outsiders. I’ll make things clear to everyone..”
