"Oh gosh! He actually came to our school for fried vermicelli! He's so down-to-earth . "
There was a long pause .
Everyone started making a commotion as they talked about them in excited voices . Yan Rusheng and Wen Xuxu ignored them . They were used to this kind of attention and were naturally unconcerned .
At the age of thirteen or fourteen years old, these kids were already such busybodies .
The fried-beef vermicelli was served, and the savory smell alone was enough to whet one's appetite . Xuxu couldn't wait to tuck in . She sank her chopsticks into a piece of beef and shoved it into her mouth, chewing with satisfaction .
Look how attractive she is .
Young Master Yan rolled his eyes at her . "What a chowhound . "

Having said that, he picked up the biggest piece of beef on the plate with his chopsticks and put it right into his mouth .
Xuxu glared at him . "Hey, Yan Rusheng, I thought you weren't eating?"
"Okay then, I'll give it back to you . " He removed a small piece of beef from his mouth and grinned devilishly at Xuxu .
Xuxu was dumbfounded . Not only did he eat her beef, but he also went ahead and devoured her vermicelli!
They ate and bickered at the same time . It was as if they had traveled back in time, back to those… lovely years .
Those busybodies around them looked on, green with envy .

As Xuxu had predicted, the board of directors started inquiring about the contract with Country Y .
At the board meeting, those old men whom Young Master Yan hated immediately got to the heart of the matter . They requested to know why they failed to sign the contract when discussions had been going so smoothly .
Yan Rusheng merely replied, "Flourish & Prosper does not lack funds . "
They were stunned . Who in their right mind would refuse more money?
Furthermore, this was Flourish & Prosper's first major international venture . No one would simply accept that they had lost the deal .
Thus, those old directors, who had always been fearful of Yan Rusheng, came to a common agreement: they would spare no effort to accuse him of misconduct .
There was a look of annoyance on Yan Rusheng's face as he leaned back lazily on his chair . Knitting his eyebrows, he listened to those old fellows berating him one after another .
He suddenly felt an urge to flip the table .
However, he chose not to do it . Not because he was restraining himself, but because it was impossible to flip up the conjoined table .
Sitting beside him, Xuxu could sense his aura getting colder, and his patience was running out .
She deliberated for a moment and then stepped forward to explain . "Uncles, there is still some leeway for this matter . Let me discuss it with President Yan again, and then we'll give a satisfactory answer to everyone . "
"Xuxu, it's not that we don't trust you, but this is no small issue, and it concerns everyone's interests," a board director replied to her, and then added, "President Yan must give us a satisfactory explanation today . "
"Yes, I agree," another one piped up . "We are aware of the situation . This problem was a result of President Yan's personal interest . "
There was a long pause…
Xuxu waited for everyone to calm down before opening her mouth to speak . "Regardless of where the problem lies, we still need to find a solution . Even if President Yan gives you an explanation, would you be able to recover the incurred damages?"
She smiled reassuringly, looking at everyone's faces .
They were still not satisfied . "President Yan needs to present his stance . "
Having said all that, they just wanted Yan Rusheng to make things clear to them .
"My stance is…" All of a sudden, Yan Rusheng spoke in an unhurried manner . This made Xuxu apprehensive; she pinched his thigh in secret and shot him a warning look .
She smiled at everyone again and said, "President Yan's stance is the same as mine . "
Hearing this, everyone nodded reluctantly . "If that's the case, then we look forward to your good news . "
