- back to Xiu Ying -
30 minutes after Yan came in she knocked on the door again and when she heard "come in" she opened the door and walked in with the food
"Oh you brought in the food, you can place it down on the table and then take a lunch break" Xiu Ying said waving to the other table in between the couches while looking down reading the documents
"Oh also before I forget, do I have any meetings after 8 pm today?" Xiu Ying said remembering she promised to tell Yang if she can make it or not
"You do have a meeting roughly from 7:30 pm to 8:20 pm Ma'am but after that, you do not have any. The meeting is for a possible project, are you going somewhere?" Yan said then asked out of curiosity
"Hmm ok, possibly I will be going somewhere…" Xiu Ying said
"Anyways you may take you lunch break now Yan"
"Ok" Yan said, bowed her head, and left
After Xiu Ying left, she went to her laptop to search up the restaurant and saw it was in the capital but not in the center of the capital where her office was and it would take roughly 30 to 1 hour to get there so she texted Yang that she can go but would be there at 9:30 pm instead
Not even a minute went by before he replied 'ok'
Yang was actually eating lunch but saw she texted him so replied ok happy that they can spend more time together
Yang after the text message was really happy although a little sad that they couldn't spend to much time together since it would be a little late and they have work the next day
The employees started relaxing a little when they saw their boss was turning normal and even smiling a little when glancing at his phone which had a picture of younger Xiu Ying (A/N: *cough cough* smirks) but of course no one knows her picture is his wallpaper
- at 7 pm, Yan knocking on Xiu Ying's door -
"Come in" a cold but feminine voice sounded and Yan opened the door and announced
"Ma'am the directors for this project is here and surprisingly a representative from the said company that will be joining in on the project is here" Yan said with a hint of surprise because this meeting was publicly announced to that said company because it was a meeting to decide how they should deal with this contract and make their own negotiates in case they do not like the final contract the company is providing and should they not agree, they would not sign and look for another company (mind you this is Li Empire we are talking about so obviously it would not be easy to select another company and disregard Li Empire)
"Hmm well then inform the directors that I will be down in a minute, and now it seems I've to introduce myself to a new person
Xiu Ying and Zhang Yu Yan walked to her private elevator, pressed the 49th-floor bottom and after they reached, they went into the meeting room and was greeted with a cheerful smile from Wang Fang who was the younger sister of Wang Yang and an old classmate of Xiu Ying (she is 27 btw so a few months older). She also ended up pursuing a career in fashion and soon took the fashion industry by storm. She makes design for everything, and this project as to make the best clothes/scrubs that can be provided to Xiu Ying's hospital/laboratory and now that Xiu Ying thought of it, although not announced to the public, some people knew that her company (wang yang's sister) was under Wang Yang in terms of shares so Wang Yang wanted to keep her safe so he does have some to bodyguard for her
"Sister Ying!" Wang Fang said happily
Xiu Ying just froze shocked to see her, not because she was an evil person but she has not seen this girl since she left for college and now all of the sudden the girl is in front of her
"Wang Fang? You are the representative? Last time I checked you were the CEO and founder of your company?" Xiu Ying questioned
"Oh, I said that so I can surprise you!" Wang Fang said happy to see her old classmate and what she has heard was that her brother was courting Xiu Ying or at least that is what she thinks especially after seeing her brother smiling as he did before when they (Xiu Ying and Yang) were together
(Yes, Wang Fang knew of the relationship because Yang trusted her but never told her the real reason why they broke up and all)
"Hmm well we have nothing to hide, just we're going to discuss the contract, well since you're the CEO I don't mind you listening on everything and I trust you for now" Xiu Ying said. Although she doesn't like speaking too much, she does sometimes and to people, she was close too
Wang Fang nodes excited to see the Iron Lady/Cold Beauty with Brains CEO at work during a meeting!
Everyone got seating with Xiu Ying sitting at the head of the table and Wang Fang sitting at the opposite head
"Meeting shall begin" Xiu Ying said with a neutral with hints of coldness in her voice
During the meeting they were discussing on how long the project should prolong, pros and cons (because at the moment they can still back out if they don't like the company since there has been no contract signing yet), and the profit, etc
While this was happening, on the inside Wang Fang was really admiring Xiu Ying and her leadership skills, though cold she can really lead a team well and definitely deserves her CEO position
At the end of the meeting, they decided on how to approach this and decided to go on with the signing (yes these meetings happen with Li Empire especially if it was a project with risked in them)
Xiu Ying than went back to her cabin which had a lounge/bedroom area and you would have to enter through a concealed door and has a fingerprint scanner plus you must enter the passcode as well
