Chapter 238: I’m Angry With You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
s.h.i.+ Xiao acted puzzled, as if he had heard something that made no sense. “Young Master Tan, what do you mean? We were personally invited by Dun Yuan Technology Company. How can you use the word ‘barge’?”
“Ha.” Mo Shu, who had been sitting on the sofa silently, couldn’t help but laugh when he heard s.h.i.+ Xiao’s mockery.
After Tan Jing was mocked by Mo Shu, he felt embarra.s.sed and asked Mo Shu to shut up angrily.
Mo Shu had already quarreled with a few people just now and wasn’t in the mood to argue with him, so he closed his mouth indifferently and turned his head to the side without saying anything else.
Tan Jing started to mock and ridicule him. “It seems that Young Master s.h.i.+ has already solved the problem that Yuan An encountered, since you still have the time to come and watch the exhibition.”
s.h.i.+ Xiao asked, “Oh really? How did Young Master Tan know that Yuan An was in trouble? Could it be that you were the one who caused this trouble?”
Tan Jing was rendered speechless again. Why didn’t he know that s.h.i.+ Xiao was so sharp-tongued in the past? When he spoke to s.h.i.+ Xiao, he felt a sense of deja vu.
Tan Jing tried to recall who he had talked to before. Then, he suddenly remembered that it was Yuan Shu!
Could it be that this couple researched how to retort every day instead of working?
Tan Jing couldn’t be bothered to continue this topic. He asked s.h.i.+ Xiao directly, “May 1 ask why you came here?”
s.h.i.+ Xiao mocked, “It doesn’t have anything to do with you. I’m looking for him, not you.” s.h.i.+ Xiao pointed at Mo Shu, who was sitting there obediently. Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he smiled evilly. “And this seems to be Dun Yuan Technology Company, not your software company.”
“You!” Tan Jing was so angry that he had the urge to reveal his relations.h.i.+p with Dun Yuan Technology Company. Fortunately, he suppressed the urge to blurt it out and smiled politely as he said, “You’re right. Go ahead.”
s.h.i.+ Xiao felt that it was a pity that he couldn’t get anything out of him.
s.h.i.+ Xiao asked, “I wonder why Young Master Tan is in General Manager Zhang’s office?”
Tan Jing crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a confident look, “Let’s discuss a collaboration. Young Master s.h.i.+, do you have any objections?”
s.h.i.+ Xiao said with a smile, “Of course not.”
Then, s.h.i.+ Xiao sized up the office carefully. Zhang Ting and the secretary were sitting at the side of the reception table. Mo Shu was the guest while Tan Jing was sitting at the master seat in the general manager’s office.
s.h.i.+ Xiao nodded slightly, as if he understood. Then, he said meaningfully, “Oh, let’s talk about a cooperation.”
Zhao Mian bit her lower lip tightly and stopped herself from laughing out loud. She didn’t expect her boss to be so good at angering people.
Tan Jing felt embarra.s.sed, as if he had been seen through. He was filled with anger but he couldn’t vent it, so he felt even angrier.
His expression was cold as he cleared his throat and asked s.h.i.+ Xiao to leave, “Since you want to look for Mo Shu, you can take him away now. We have business matters to discuss. It’s confidential, so it’s inconvenient for Young Master s.h.i.+ to listen.”
s.h.i.+ Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn’t say anything else. Instead, he exchanged glances with Mo Shu.
Mo Shu had already said what he needed to say. If he didn’t leave now, he wouldn’t be able to leave even if he wanted to. s.h.i.+ Xiao’s appearance had actually saved him. Therefore, Mo Shu tactfully followed s.h.i.+ Xiao and the others out.
The secretary followed behind them and sent them all the way to the office.
Zhang Ting waited until the person was far away and could no longer be seen before he suddenly lost control. His hands that were holding his gla.s.ses were trembling.
The general manager looked at Tan Jing in panic and asked fearfully, “If we let Mo Shu go just like that, what if he reveals everything?”
His forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Actually, he had been a little afraid ever since Mo Shu suddenly appeared at the exhibition. That was why he had been standing in the corridor on the second floor without moving. He was afraid that if he moved, his trembling legs would betray his fear..
