Xia Weilan arrived at Mo Ying Group. In the office, Mo Beichen was on the phone. Xia Weilan had no choice but to stand behind him and wait.
The setting sun was half - down. Mo Beichen put away his phone and turned around. Seeing Xia Weilan looking a bit embarrassed, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. "What? The other party still doesn't want to see you?"
"Yeah. I don't know what's going on. As soon as they hear my surname is Xia, they just decline directly." Xia Weilan walked up to him and looked up at him helplessly.
"I've got some good news here." Mo Beichen picked up his coat beside him and turned to look at her. "I've found out that Z is now in the capital city, and right now he's at Yunmeng Restaurant."
Xia Weilan's eyes lit up. She immediately grabbed Mo Beichen and was about to rush there. Mo Beichen looked at her excited expression and couldn't help smiling as he followed her. When they got to the elevator, Xia Weilan said in surprise, "What a coincidence. Just now, Locke also invited me to Yunmeng Restaurant. I said I was busy and couldn't go. But now it seems I have to go there."
"Locke?" Mo Beichen narrowed his deep eyes and suddenly said, "I heard that Z is having a reunion with an old classmate right now, and that classmate's name is also Locke."
"No way!" Xia Weilan was so stunned that she almost forgot to get into the elevator. Mo Beichen quickly led her in.
On the other side, Locke and Z were ordering food. Locke's phone suddenly beeped. Locke took a look and then stood up excitedly. He waved his phone at Z and said, "My benefactor said they can come now."
"Really? Then let's wait a while before ordering." Z looked at his old classmate curiously. The person who could make his old classmate so enthusiastic must be a person of excellent character.
"Yeah. They'll come together as a couple." Locke sat down again and then immediately stood up. "Do you think I should go outside to greet them?"
Yunmeng Restaurant was an elegantly - decorated restaurant that boasted delicate dishes. At the main entrance of Yunmeng Restaurant, there were several well - dressed people standing neatly to greet guests. And now there were two more people beside them. One was Locke, and the other was Z, who accompanied his friend and looked around curiously.
Before long, a black Maybach slowly drove over. A handsome man and a beautiful woman got out. The man had deep features and exuded an air of coldness all over his body. The woman had delicate eyebrows and a lively expression. She was a charming young lady. Z's gaze fell on Mo Beichen. He knew that this was Mo Beichen, a well - known entrepreneur in China.
"They're here!" Locke whispered, which made Z raise his eyebrows.
At the same time, Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan were also sizing up Z. In a flash, they had walked up to the two of them.
"Miss Xia, Mr. Mo, this is my classmate Z." Locke introduced.
"Mr. Z!" Xia Weilan tried hard to hold back her excitement. She reached out her hand and shook Z's for a couple of times, looking very enthusiastic. "I've always loved your works."
Seeing Xia Weilan so infatuated, Mo Beichen felt a pang in his heart. He quietly pulled Xia Weilan a bit away.
"Let's go in first." Locke said.
In the private room, Locke started to talk non - stop about his miserable experiences in the United States, which made Xia Weilan a bit embarrassed.
"Locke, I'll toast you." Mo Beichen raised his glass and said to Locke. Locke immediately stopped talking and clinked glasses with Mo Beichen. Taking this opportunity, Xia Weilan said to Z, "Mr. Z, actually I've always wanted to meet you, but your secretary always declined my requests."
"Oh?" Z asked curiously, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Xia Weilan then explained that she was here on behalf of Xia Group to discuss cooperation with him.
"I see." Z nodded in understanding. "There was a Miss Xia Ruolin who really annoyed me before. So I told my secretary not to let any Miss Xia bother me anymore. I didn't expect to turn you away by mistake."
Hearing this, Locke looked at Z and said, "My benefactor is not an impolite person. If you have something important to discuss, you can make an appointment later."
Locke was trying to help Xia Weilan. Z nodded slightly. His eyes glanced at Mo Beichen. He thought that since she was Mo Beichen's wife, she should be trustworthy, because Mo Beichen always adhered to integrity.
After that, Z really made an appointment with Xia Weilan. Xia Weilan felt relieved. She started to open up the conversation and chatted with Z. From the design of the jewelry industry to color matching and design concepts, the two of them seemed like old friends who had just met. They were chatting very animatedly.
Mo Beichen, on the other hand, seemed like an outsider. He drank with Locke one sip after another, looking cold and silent. His wife had never been so enthusiastic with him.
"I didn't expect Miss Xia's ideas to be so similar to mine. I'm really looking forward to the cooperation with Xia Group. I hope Miss Xia can be in charge then."
Xia Weilan didn't expect Z to be so straightforward and agree to the cooperation on the spot. She immediately exchanged a look with Z and they smiled at each other.
Mo Beichen tightened his hand. He didn't want Xia Weilan to have too much contact with this Z. He felt as if his wife was about to run away with someone.
"Weilan, go to the car and get the gift for Z for me." Mo Beichen suddenly said to Xia Weilan, who had already drunk quite a bit of wine and had a slight blush on her face. If this went on, he was afraid that Xia Weilan would be dazzled by Z's charm.
"Okay." Xia Weilan finally withdrew her gaze from Z. She stood up and walked out.
The breeze was blowing gently outside. Xia Weilan stood quietly at the main entrance for a while, looking a bit dazed. She had actually talked to her idol, and her idol liked her.
When Xia Weilan finally calmed down, she walked towards the Maybach. She remembered that there was a gift box in front of the driver's seat. Mo Beichen had specifically brought it with him when they left home.
"Xia Weilan! What are you doing here!" Xia Ruolin had just got out of the car and immediately saw Xia Weilan about to get into the car.
Hearing this, Xia Weilan paused with the hand that was holding the car door. She said calmly, "I'm here to meet Mr. Z."
As she spoke, she casually took out the gift box.
Xia Ruolin thought Xia Weilan had just arrived. She couldn't help sneering, "Do you think you can get the deal with that shabby gift?"
Xia Ruolin looked down at Xia Weilan haughtily. At this moment, Xia Ruolin was dressed up beautifully, while Xia Weilan was wearing her usual clothes and holding a shabby - looking gift casually. People who didn't know might think that Xia Weilan was just going through the motions and didn't really put any effort into it.
"You're right. You're quite self - aware. You know you don't have the ability to get the deal, so you're just perfunctory." After saying that, Xia Ruolin stepped on her high - heels and walked over.
Xia Weilan's eyes moved. She followed behind her. In the lobby, she heard Xia Ruolin asking the receptionist, "Which private room is Mr. Z in?"
The receptionist pointed at Xia Weilan and said, "This lady came with Mr. Z."
Xia Ruolin turned around and followed the finger. When she saw Xia Weilan, her face turned pale. She took a couple of steps forward and looked behind Xia Weilan. There was no one there. It seemed that the receptionist was really talking about Xia Weilan.
