The project manager looked calm. Earlier, Mo Beichen had told him that he just needed to find a way to make the Dong family retreat in the face of difficulties. So he wasn't afraid of Dong Yingying's outburst.
Xia Weilan squinted her eyes. At this moment, a sudden inspiration flashed in her mind, and she finally understood that Mo Beichen actually didn't want to pursue this business deal.
With a "bang", Dong Yingying suddenly stood up from her chair, pushing the chair behind her far away. "I'm not talking about the deal anymore. Brother Mo, let's go for dinner!"
As she said this, she walked over and was about to grab Mo Beichen's arm that was on the table.
Mo Beichen was just about to pull his hand away when Xia Weilan stepped in front of Dong Yingying first.
"What do you think you're doing? I'm going for dinner with Brother Mo. How dare you stop me?"
"Sorry, Miss Dong. Our CEO has mysophobia."
The corner of Mo Beichen's mouth curled up, and he stood up from his chair cheerfully. "Since Miss Dong doesn't want to talk, I won't keep you company anymore."
As Mo Beichen said this, he was about to leave.
Dong Yingying's eyes darted back and forth between Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan. Noticing the obvious specialness between them, she angrily shouted at Xia Weilan, "You little vixen! How dare you seduce Brother Mo."
Mo Beichen stopped in his tracks. In an instant, the air pressure in the meeting room dropped suddenly. A gust of wind seemed to blow from nowhere, making everyone shiver.
Everyone's face changed. Xia Weilan squinted her eyes unhappily, the project manager stared with wide eyes, and Dong Yingying's subordinates turned pale.
"Miss, since it's not suitable today, let's come back another day to discuss." The people from the Dong family immediately grabbed Dong Yingying, not wanting her to make a further fool of herself.
Mo Beichen turned around angrily, his eyes already ablaze with anger.
"What's there to discuss!" Dong Yingying shook off the subordinate who was holding her and turned back to Mo Beichen.
"Brother Mo, I'm putting it on the line today. If you don't fire this woman, I won't discuss the cooperation."
Mo Beichen curled his lips, but there was no warmth in his expression. He walked up to Xia Weilan, put his arm around her, and said to Dong Yingying,
"I'm not going to fire her. You can leave now."
Dong Yingying looked at them in disbelief. "Brother Mo, you, you've really been bewitched by this vixen."
"Call the security guards in and kick this rude woman out." Mo Beichen didn't want to waste any more words on Dong Yingying.
Soon, several security guards came in. They were all tall and strong. The sight of them made the Dong family's subordinates tremble with fear.
Dong Yingying wanted to say something else, but she was forcibly dragged out. Her posture was extremely embarrassing.
Finally, the meeting room was quiet.
The project manager also left tactfully, leaving only Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan in the meeting room.
Xia Weilan stepped out of his embrace and said firmly, "You wanted to get rid of the Dong family?"
"Right." Mo Beichen's words made Xia Weilan finally breathe a sigh of relief. So his tolerance towards that young miss just now was only to drive her away.
"She's Liu Yinyin's cousin, and it was Mo Donglin who personally recruited this project. I had to find a reason to decline."
Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen looked at each other. She clearly felt that Mo Beichen was really angry just now. Was it really just an act?
Just then, Xu Wei knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. Mo, it's time for the meeting."
Xia Weilan immediately said tactfully, "Then I'll leave first."
After Xia Weilan left, Xu Wei immediately said, "Mr. Mo, did you and the young mistress plan this? You've solved a cancer for the company all at once."
However, Mo Beichen's face darkened. "No."
No matter what, Mo Beichen would never want to rely on Xia Weilan to accomplish anything.
Just as Xia Weilan returned to her office, she received a call from the landline of the Xia Group. The caller ID showed "Grandpa". Xia Weilan stood there in a daze. It wasn't until the phone rang three times that her face suddenly changed. She answered the call coldly, "Hello?"
"Weilan, it's me, Second Uncle. The company has been so busy lately. I'd like you to come back to the company. I'll make you the manager of the project department. Come back and help Second Uncle."
"I'll help you on one condition. Return Grandpa's shares, and I'll come back. Otherwise, no deal." Xia Weilan said coldly. Without waiting for him to say anything else, she immediately hung up the phone.
Xia Weilan took a deep breath. Before she could calm down, her phone rang again. Xia Weilan answered it subconsciously, her tone unfriendly. "I've already said I'm not going!"
"Weilan, why are you so angry?" A gentle male voice came from the other end.
Xia Weilan's anger only grew. "Ouyang Mingqi, what do you want from me?"
"Hehe, can't I call you if I have nothing to do? I miss you." Ouyang Mingqi pretended to be affectionate.
"I'll hang up if there's nothing else!" Xia Weilan showed no mercy.
"Wait a minute. There is something." Ouyang Mingqi immediately said, sounding a bit pleading. "I don't know where I've offended Mo Beichen, but he's suddenly targeting our Ouyang Group. I'm in a really tough spot now. Weilan, can you meet me and help me?"
"You've got the wrong person. Your business has nothing to do with me!" Xia Weilan flatly refused.
"Weilan, you don't even know how bad our company's situation is. If this goes on, we'll go bankrupt. Weilan, can you do me a favor? Both our company and Mo Ying Group are bidding for the same project. Can you help me get..."
"Enough! I'm really busy now. I don't have time to listen to this." Xia Weilan's anger flared up, and she hung up the phone.
Xia Weilan frowned tightly, exuding a cold aura all over.
Ouyang Mingqi was really trying to persuade her to be a spy just like in her past life.
This man was really going too far!
She wouldn't be as stupid as she was in her past life.
In the meeting room on the other side, as soon as Mo Beichen appeared, he caught everyone's attention.
Everyone knew that Mo Beichen was always punctual. This time, he was 15 minutes late for the meeting, which was not like his usual style.
Liu Yinyin and Mo Donglin, who came in later, looked strange. They were full of hostility as soon as they entered.
"Beichen, you should discipline your wife. She caused such a big scene as soon as she came to the company and offended Miss Dong." Liu Yinyin immediately complained to Mo Beichen.
The others were not aware of what had just happened outside and looked at Mo Beichen in surprise.
"Oh, let's ask the project manager to tell us who really caused the trouble."
Hearing this, the project manager said shrewdly, "Miss Dong not only made things difficult for Miss Xia but also called Miss Xia a vixen. That's why the CEO couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Miss Dong, who was speaking rudely, out of the group. Miss Dong said that she didn't want to discuss the cooperation and only wanted to have dinner with the chairman. She also said that the meeting was not as important as their Dong family's project and asked the CEO to cancel the meeting."
