Chapter 378 Business blowback

Liang Liangwei placed the fresh cut fruit in an empty spot on the coffee table and joked, "This is a perk I can only enjoy thanks to you. Nobody usually brings me fruit."

Yan Zhixu looked at the fruit in the box, chuckled, and said, "I was able to eat this because of you. Otherwise, if I were walking down the street, which of your friends would know who I am, and why would they bring me fruit? It's all because of Director Liang."

Liang Liangwei blinked, finding herself speechless, and couldn't help but laugh.

"President Yan, are we just flattering each other in a business setting?"

Yan Zhixu used a toothpick to pick up a piece of mango and held it to her lips. He didn't reply, but just smiled indulgently.

Thinking of his conversation with his older brother Yan Yunting that morning, he hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should tell her first.

But I'm taking her home tonight, and if she finds out that Yan Yunting already knows about their relationship, she'll probably be even more nervous.

The reason he allowed Yan Yunting to find out about this first was because he understood Yan Yunting's personality; he was calm and collected in the face of trouble and would not react excessively. After talking it over, he would also give Yan Yunting some advice on how to deal with the situation.

Over the years, he has encountered many thorny problems abroad. When he is in a very difficult situation, he will call Yan Yunting to talk to him.

They often receive earnest advice and benefit greatly from it.

This is why he was able to establish himself in the cutthroat world of Wall Street in just a few years.

This incident tonight is bound to displease the Yan family, especially the old man. He needs to find a "backer" for himself and Weiwei, even if they don't side with him, at least not someone who will hold them back.

Seeing that he seemed lost in thought, Liang Liangwei asked, "What are you thinking about instead of eating properly?"

Yan Zhixu snapped out of her reverie and smiled, saying, "Nothing, I was just thinking about work this afternoon."

Liang Liangwei sighed deliberately, "You're having dinner with your girlfriend but you're still thinking about work. It seems your girlfriend isn't as attractive to you as your work."

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "Sorry, it's my fault. I'll stop thinking about it and focus on eating."

After finishing their meal, the two collected the food containers and trash together, then sat down to continue drinking coffee.

Yan Zhixu: "I'll pick you up after get off work and we'll go straight back to the old house."

Liang Liangwei nodded: "I don't know if Uncle Yan will like the gift I gave him. What if he doesn't like it..."

Yan Zhixu: "Then say it was me who picked it."

Liang Liangwei chuckled: "How about I make you take the blame?"

Yan Zhixu also laughed: "Our relationship should be one of sharing both honor and disgrace."

The phone rang; it was Xu Chaofeng calling. Yan Zhixu glanced at it and answered.

"You can take care of them for now, I'll be back in a bit."

Liang Liangwei: "A guest has arrived?"

Yan Zhixu put away her phone: "Yes, I need to meet with a business partner."

After finishing his coffee, he got up to leave, taking the trash with him.

"I'll go there first."

Liang Liangwei: "I'll take you."

Yan Zhixu: "No need, it's just a few steps. Wait for me after get off work."

He carried the trash out of Liang Liangwei's office and threw it into the trash can in the break room.

As I passed the front desk, I overheard two girls talking to each other and paused in my tracks.

"There are flowers again. Are they for Director Liang?"

"Yes, our studio received flowers seven out of ten times, and it was from one of Director Liang's suitors. It's so enviable! Too bad, she's only interested in him; Director Liang already has such a handsome boyfriend, she wouldn't even look at other ordinary guys."

Who is this flower delivery person?

"His surname is Li. I think he's the older brother of one of our clients from last time? Apparently, when Director Liang was styling a client's hair, her brother saw her and said he wanted to pursue her. This is the third time he's sent flowers, and Director Liang hasn't accepted them once, telling us to handle it ourselves."

"It seems like Director Liang's boyfriend is here today. It would be terrible if he found out. Let's take apart the flowers and divide them up."

"it is good……"

As the two were talking, they heard footsteps approaching, looked up, and were immediately shocked, their eyes widening and their faces changing color.

Yan Zhixu walked over, looked at the bouquet of bright red roses, and asked indifferently, "Is this for Weiwei?"

The two girls were terrified.

"Yes Yes……"

Yan Zhixu picked up the order slip next to the bouquet and glanced at it. The sender's surname was indeed Li, and there was a note: "[Miss Liang, please allow me to call you Weiwei. Although you cruelly didn't respond to me, I still won't give up. I like you, just like I like the clouds in the sky...]"

He scoffed lightly, memorized the order number, and then pushed the flowers away.

"If you like them, you can break them up, just don't let Weiwei see it."

"Okay, okay..."

Yan Zhixu: "Also, since Weiwei has already told you to handle it yourself, that means she doesn't accept it. Next time there are flowers that aren't from me, just refuse to accept them."

"Okay, we understand."

Yan Zhixu turned and walked towards the elevator.

Only after his figure disappeared into the elevator did the two girls breathe a sigh of relief, and then they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Hey, what's Director Liang's boyfriend's last name?"

"Ask Director Su."

Yan Zhixu returned to the company, wrote down a number on a sticky note, and handed it to Xu Chaofeng: "Check the information of the owner of this phone number."

Xu Chaofeng: "Okay, President Yan."

Yan Zhixu took off his overcoat and hung it up, straightened his suit jacket, and went with him to the reception room to meet the guests.

After a busy afternoon, it was time to leave work, and the work was finally finished.

Xu Chaofeng handed him the documents to sign.

Yan Zhixu took it, quickly signed her name, and handed it back.

"If there's nothing else, you can go home now. I'll drive myself tonight. Have a good rest this weekend."

Xu Chaofeng: "Okay, I'll head back now. I wish President Yan and Miss Liang a pleasant evening."

Yan Zhixu fetched the coat, and upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Thank you, I will."

I drove up to Liang Liangwei's company building and sent her a WeChat message. Liang Liangwei came down quickly.

After getting in the car, it drove onto the road.

Liang Liangwei began touching up her makeup in front of the mirror.

She looked at her eyes, somewhat dissatisfied: "I have some dark circles under my eyes, aren't they quite noticeable?"

Yan Zhixu glanced at her: "It's alright, I can't tell."

"What a straight man," she muttered, glancing at him and whispering a complaint, "If you have important business the next day, you... be more restrained at night, don't disturb my rest!"

Yan Zhixu chuckled: "Blame me? I remember you seemed to really like it last night, holding me tightly and not letting go."

Liang Liangwei blushed and said through gritted teeth, "How dare you say that? I already said I'd had enough, it's just that you didn't want to..."

He snorted and said, "Anyway, the night before I go to my house to see my dad in a few days, you're not allowed to act recklessly!"

Yan Zhixu gave a half-smile: "Okay, remember to remind me when the time comes."

Liang Liangwei was annoyed by his smug look, but unfortunately he was driving, so she couldn't touch him.
