Xia Weilan pushed open the door of the meeting room. Holding a fresh cup of coffee in her hand, she slowly walked towards Mo Beichen.
Mo Beichen's gaze landed on Xia Weilan casually for a moment and then quickly shifted away, as if he were really just here for the business cooperation and not at all here to see Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan walked to Mo Beichen's side, bent down, and placed the coffee on the table in front of him. Her expression remained calm. However, when they got closer, Xia Weilan clearly felt Mo Beichen's deep gaze on her. Sensing the look, she wanted to raise her eyes to meet his, but due to her current work identity, she dutifully resisted the urge. With her head down, she didn't give Mo Beichen even a single special look.
The project manager, who had been speaking, paused when he saw Xia Weilan enter. His eyes briefly swept over Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen.
Dong Yingying had felt something was off since just now. Seeing everyone's eyes on Xia Weilan at this moment, she suddenly realized the source of the oddness was this assistant.
Dong Yingying thought this assistant was too good - looking. She was clearly a vixen trying to seduce Mo Beichen. Dong Yingying said unhappily,
"My coffee is too sweet. Go and get me a new one."
After saying that, Dong Yingying pointed at the coffee in front of her with her chin, indicating for Xia Weilan to prepare it quickly.
Xia Weilan had just put down the coffee. Hearing this, she frowned slightly. She was sure she had only put a little sugar. She glanced at Dong Yingying and immediately saw the displeasure and provocation in her eyes. She knew in her heart that she must have offended Dong Yingying somehow.
Xia Weilan went out again and closed the door behind her.
"Mr. Mo, speaking of which, my cousin often mentions you to me. She says you're extremely talented. Only with a president like you could Mo Ying Group leap to become the leading enterprise in the capital. I've always admired you..."
When Xia Weilan came in again, this was what she heard Dong Yingying saying.
Dong Yingying noticed Mo Beichen suddenly frowned and looked towards the door. She immediately stopped talking and quickly turned her gaze. Sure enough, she saw that vixen - like assistant was back.
Dong Yingying thought this assistant was really a nuisance.
Just as Xia Weilan was about to step forward, she heard Dong Yingying shout,
"Stop! I suddenly want to drink tea. Go and get me some."
Xia Weilan's face darkened a bit.
"What are you standing there for? You're such an incompetent assistant. When I tell you to go, you should go. I'm your client. Do you expect me to make the tea myself?"
Everyone present understood that Dong Yingying was clearly being deliberately difficult.
Mo Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly. He was obviously a bit unhappy.
The people who came with Dong Yingying noticed this and immediately broke out in cold sweat. This young miss had no idea how important this project was to the Dong family. Now they were the ones seeking the cooperation; it wasn't the time to throw a tantrum.
But they didn't dare to stop Dong Yingying. They all looked at Xia Weilan apologetically.
"What else do you want? Say it all at once," Xia Weilan stood there and said coldly to Dong Yingying.
Dong Yingying didn't expect a mere assistant to talk to her like this. She immediately stretched out her finger and pointed, "I just don't like you. Get out and don't come back!"
"Bang!" Mo Beichen suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Ah!" Dong Yingying was splashed on the arm by the coffee that suddenly spilled. It was the coffee Xia Weilan had just made for Mo Beichen and it was still steaming.
Dong Yingying let out a scream. When she realized it was accidentally spilled by Mo Beichen, she immediately stopped screaming and said awkwardly,
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll just wipe it off."
Mo Beichen stood there calmly and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Xu Wei knew that the president was really sly. After doing such a thing, he could still apologize so calmly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother Mo, where are you going?" Dong Yingying asked in surprise while wiping her slightly red arm.
"I suddenly remembered I have an important meeting," Mo Beichen said calmly and aloofly.
Xia Weilan handed a tissue to Dong Yingying and then stepped back to the manager's side. No one mentioned making tea again.
"What meeting!" Dong Yingying immediately looked reluctant. She didn't want to separate from Mo Beichen so soon.
"Put the meeting aside for now. Our Dong family's business is also very important!" Dong Yingying immediately insisted.
The people who came with Dong Yingying all lowered their heads. Their faces were burning with embarrassment. Dong Yingying was so bold to say that in front of Mo Beichen. Mo Ying Group was on such a large - scale, while the Dong family was far from comparable. How could Miss Dong claim that the Dong family's project was important?
A look of hesitation flashed across Mo Beichen's face.
Seeing this, Dong Yingying was overjoyed and continued to persuade, "It's just a meeting. You can postpone it. We're sort of relatives. My cousin is your sister - in - law. I'm like your younger sister."
A look of surprise flashed through Xia Weilan's mind. She then seriously looked at Dong Yingying. No wonder she had felt so uncomfortable when seeing Dong Yingying before. It turned out she was related to Liu Yinyin. It made sense then. Birds of a feather flock together.
What surprised Xia Weilan even more was that Mo Beichen actually sat back down and told Xu Wei to postpone the meeting.
Xu Wei looked at Mo Beichen in surprise. He knew that Mo Beichen never arrived late for meetings. What was going on today? Did the president not want to part with Xia Weilan?
Xu Wei was confused but responded and went out.
Dong Yingying was already beaming with joy, like a delicate flower in the wind. She smiled so widely that her eyes were like crescent moons. She even felt the red, burnt skin on her hand didn't hurt anymore.
"Continue!" Mo Beichen said indifferently without looking at Dong Yingying's overly infatuated face.
After that, Dong Yingying was like a peacock showing off its feathers. She kept talking, but the content was not about the project but about her personal affairs:
"Brother Mo, can we have lunch together this afternoon? I know a good place..."
Before Dong Yingying could finish her sentence, she saw Xia Weilan suddenly come over with a cup of tea, blocking her enthusiastic gaze.
Dong Yingying frowned, but then she noticed that after Xia Weilan put down the tea, she just stood between the two of them, like a wall.
Mo Beichen raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Weilan's profile. He found that she was looking back at Dong Yingying without flinching.
"Here's the tea you asked for."
Dong Yingying glared at Xia Weilan fiercely. Just as she was about to explode, Mo Beichen spoke first,
"Manager Liu, please explain the cooperation details."
Hearing this, the project manager immediately said, "We've made some changes to this cooperation plan. The adjusted content includes..."
The more Dong Yingying listened, the uglier her face became. She directed her anger at the project manager,
"What are you talking about? Are you kidding me? How dare you propose such a plan? Do you think I'm easy to bully? I'm a relative of the Mo family. You..."
