She’s on her third tea when she hears the tea shop’s door bell ring. Ding Ning appears at the entrance.
“Over here,” An Chuxia beckons. Ding Ning immediately makes his way towards An Chuxia. She can see the fine sweat on his forehead. He seems to have rushed here as quickly as he could. An Chuxia’s eyes looks at him before flashing a smile. “Assistant Ding, you’re too polite. There is no need for you to provide me with presents.”
Ding Ning sits across from her. He sets in front of her large and small gifts. Steward Han steps forward and
retrieves the packages before retreating to his spot.
He looks around before asking, “Miss, were you just out shopping?”
Her mouth raises slowly into an unfathomable smile, giving him a chill. “Assistant Ding, you’re speaking to me in person. You don’t have to make small talk. I prefer getting straight to the point. Don’t you?”
A hint of embarrassment tints Ding Ning’s face, but he recovers quickly. He looks at steward Han, then back to her. “The butler.”
Before Ding Ning’s arrival, steward Han gave her a crash course about their business. It is no accident he’s in the downtown area. His company wants to buy a piece of land large enough
enough to build a 4S shopping center. However, that piece of land is owned by the Han Group, and they plan to build an amusement park in the same area.
The problem arose when the Han’s name was mentioned. They hoped to win favor when they offered Han Qilu the sports car. However, the situation didn’t develop the way they wanted; Han Qilu didn’t favor them, not to mention, the situation with Lila.
Since he noticed Han Qilu favoring An Chuxia, he thought she might be his best option. In fact, if they have any foreign relations issues, they deal directly with Han Liuhai by presenting him with presents. He usually
He usually reciprocates with favor. Ding Ning fears, this time, the Hans will refuse.
But steward Han said Han Liuhai will listen to Volkswagen as long regardless of whether they present her with gifts. It would rather be pleasant unless she ends up teasing them!
“In fact, I came to ask if you’ve heard anything about that piece of land?” He sees the butler retreat. Then he looks at An Chuxia, pleading.
She nods slightly, looking distressed. “This piece of land… I found out it has been in discussion for development in the last couple of months. It’s rather important.” She has never been comfortable coming up with lies.
Ding Ning’s face shows urgency face shows urgency as he stares at her. “Miss, our boss ordered me to obtain this piece of land, no matter what. Would you be able to help us face President Han by putting in a good word for us? We don’t know where the communication broke down, but we dare not cross the president.”
“Assistant Ding, do outsiders clean up after you? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid Bofu would openly refuse you? I’ll help you look into this matter, but I suggest you talk to him directly as soon as possible. I think he will be happy to sell that piece of land to you.”
