CHAPTER 271: CHAPTER 285: DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS COLD?

Just as Lan Shan’s patience was about to run out, the long-missing CEO’s assistant finally reappeared. Standing in front of Lan Shan, he said with a hint of apology, "I’m sorry to have kept you waiting."

Since he’d said that, Lan Shan naturally couldn’t say much else. She smiled slightly. "It’s fine. May I ask, has Young Master Gong’s meeting ended?"

"Yes." The man nodded. "Follow me, Young Master Gong is waiting for you in the office."

"Alright." Lan Shan stood up and followed him towards the CEO’s office.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself earlier. My name is Qiao Rui."

Lan Shan smiled, "It’s alright."

...

After Qiao Rui led her to the office door, he left. Lan Shan stood at the door, took several deep breaths, and only after a while did she knock on the CEO’s office door.

"Come in." A magnetic male voice came from inside. Lan Shan was first taken aback, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Entering the office, she saw a man standing against the light in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The morning sun cast on him, as if gilding him with a golden edge, making him even more dazzling and striking.

Because he was standing against the light, Lan Shan couldn’t clearly see the man’s face, but judging by his build, he seemed to be a man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

She couldn’t help but be a bit surprised. She had never imagined that the legendary aloof CEO of the Gong Group would be so young. She thought he would be a middle-aged uncle in his thirties or forties, or perhaps an old man!

Before coming here, she specifically looked into it; the CEO of the Gong Group did not like being called "CEO," but was more commonly referred to as Young Master Gong.

Fortunately, she did some research, or else stepping on this minefield would be troublesome. She looked at the man for quite a while and found that he had no intention of speaking.

After taking a few deep breaths, she spoke up, "Young Master Gong, hello, I’m sent by the Beichen Group to discuss a project with you. May I ask if you have time now?"

Since he wasn’t speaking, it’s okay. At worst, she’d just take the initiative.

After speaking for quite a while without getting any response, Lan Shan felt a bit embarrassed.

She lamented inwardly, seriously? Does it have to be this cold? What should she do...

Unwilling to give up, she spoke again, "Well, Young Master Gong, I brought the contract today. Would you like to take a look?"

Two minutes later, the man still had no intention of speaking. Lan Shan was clearly unsettled. But, being on someone else’s turf, there wasn’t much she could say. Helpless, she could only stand there waiting.

She didn’t know how long she had been standing there. Feeling uncomfortable, she shifted her feet a bit. Even wearing flat shoes today, her feet were getting numb. She looked up at the man in front of the window.

Still maintaining the previous posture. Wouldn’t this be tiring? She tilted her head and watched for a while, trying to see what exactly he was doing.

Just when Lan Shan thought he would continue to remain silent, the man in front of the window moved.

He only slightly adjusted his stance and then stopped moving again.

Lan Shan: "..."

Today she finally experienced it, this CEO is really not your average cold; he just completely ignored people! She couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Looks like she won’t be able to complete her mission today.

Half a minute later, the man spoke. "Previously, wasn’t it always your CEO who came? Why did they send someone else this time?"

A seductive yet hoarse voice entered Lan Shan’s ears. She was startled for a moment, then came to her senses, looking at him in some disbelief.

She gave him a once-over, and only then did she realize that aside from the slightly cold voice, the man in front of her was almost identical to Gong Shaoyu.
