Xu Yan lowered her head, but she could feel Jiang Han’s eyes sweeping over her. He was whispering with the man next to him, and he must be talking about her.

She simply raised her head and threw a coquettish glance at the man next to him.

Sima Ye touched Jiang Han with her hand under the table, “Oh my god, she actually winked at me.”

Jiang Han said contemptuously, “Can you be more reserved? Have you never seen a woman?” Then he looked at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan pursed his lips, not smiling.

President Guo, who was sitting in the main seat, began to speak, “Time flies. A year has passed. I am very happy to meet you lovely and respectable young people again. Thank you for attending this symposium.”

The attendees applauded again.

Chairman Guo continued, “Everyone here is the elite of our Canghai City economic circle and the pillars of society. The past year has been hard, but also fruitful. According to the statistics bureau, in the first three quarters of this year, the GDP of our Canghai City increased by 6% over the same period last year, which is inseparable from your efforts...”

The speeches given by leaders before meetings are usually long and boring, which makes people sleepy. There are some snacks and fruits on the table. Xu Yan peeled a tangerine and put two pieces of the flesh into his mouth.

Before I could swallow it, I heard Chairman Guo say, “In the last quarter of this year, Meisi Group’s biological performance was good. The sales volume of one e-commerce festival matched that of the previous quarter. Meisi Group will tell us about its experience later.”

When he said this, everyone looked over, including Jiang Han. Xu Yan was startled, and the fruit pulp got stuck in his throat, so he had to cover his mouth with his hand and cough.

She waved her hands and said, “I don’t have much experience. If you want to talk about experience, let Mr. Cheng talk about it. I’m just here to make up the numbers.”

Chairman Guo looked over with a smile in his eyes, “You should say this, don’t be modest. I think Mr. Jiang from Xinlan Group would also like to know your experience.”

Everyone looked at Jiang Han, their eyes sparkling with gossip. Anyone who was a little familiar with him knew that Meisi Group and Xinlan Group were competitors, and they were once suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe. But now, things have changed dramatically, and it is a bit ridiculous for the leader to listen to the younger brother’s development experience.

Jiang Han pulled the corner of his mouth and said self-deprecatingly, “ Xinlan Group is here today just to make up the numbers. I really want to hear about Meisi Group’s experience. After all, you have created a miracle.”

Sima Ye cheered on the side, “I heard that the miracle of Meisi Group was created by Miss Xu, so she told us about her experience. We are all entrepreneurs, so we can learn by analogy.”

Chairman Guo smiled and said, “ Meisi Group is talking about the experience of completing success. Jiang Han from Xinlan Group , you need to reflect on why your company encountered such a crisis.”

Jiang Han nodded, “Okay, I’ll try to reflect on it later.”

Xu Yan really didn’t want to speak, but everyone’s eyes were on her, and Jiang Han seemed to be waiting to see her make a fool of herself. She pursed her lips and said, “As for experience, I can’t really say. If you study the market and the dynamics of your peers, you will have a corresponding strategy. In fact, our strategy is nothing more than copying others, which is really not worth mentioning.”

Jiang Han seemed to be deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, and said, “Tell me more details.”

“Yes, it’s not good to be too simple.” Sima Ye agreed.

“There is something I really want to talk to you elites about.” Xu Yan showed a sly smile , “I’m sure everyone has heard about the recent scandal of Xinlan Group. It started because an employee failed to restrain himself and made inappropriate remarks online, which aroused public anger. Why didn’t Meisi Group make such a mistake when it also faces female consumers? It’s because we have set strict rules internally that employees are not allowed to talk nonsense on social accounts.”

Everyone hushed and looked at Jiang Han. He was thick-skinned enough to nod and say, “Miss Xu is really far-sighted. I, Jiang Han, admire her.”

Sima Ye asked Xu Yan, “What about manufacturing like ours? We don’t face gender-specific end users.”

Xu Yan said, “We still need to control them, so they don’t say anything out of turn. Sometimes it’s about gender issues, sometimes it’s other sensitive issues that are not suitable for discussion.”

Xinlan Group was just criticized by the whole network for its inappropriate response to the topic of women’s menstrual period, and Meisi Group immediately had a sanitary napkin emergency kit. Such behavior of adding insult to injury was despised by some companies. Sima Ye felt that it was very unfair, so he asked again, “What does Miss Xu think about the criticism of peers?”

“Isn’t this a common tactic? But we at Meisi Group don’t do that. We’re just trying to please our customers. To make money, you have to be unprincipled and spineless. You can’t make money if you’re too spineless.” Xu Yan said with a smile.

This sentence is full of sarcasm.

Jiang Han remained calm, as if he didn’t understand what this meant.

“I also have another experience. When your peers make mistakes, you should keep a clear head and quickly seize the favorable opportunity to establish a good positive image for the company. That’s all I have to say.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Han picked up the phone, “Miss Xu, what you said was very good. I really benefited a lot from it. I hope you will give me your advice in the future.”

Xu Yan looked at him critically and said mercilessly, “I can’t teach you how to do this. Mr. Jiang needs to find someone else.”

The participants of this forum are all shrewd people. With all the sarcasm and ridicule, it is obvious that the two companies have great hatred. Chairman Guo came out to smooth things over, saying, “In fact, competitors are not enemies. The market is huge, and each company has its own areas of expertise. Sometimes we need to work together to digest the market.”

Jiang Han looked at Xu Yan, “ Xinlan Group looks forward to having in-depth cooperation with Meisi Group one day .”

Someone started to make a scene, “Jiang Han, you and Cheng Ji are both men, how deep can your cooperation go?”

Jiang Han smiled and threw an orange at the man, “I don’t like men.”

His noise livened up the atmosphere at the meeting. President Guo asked Xu Yan, “ Has Miss Xu got married?”

Everyone’s eyes were on her again.

Women face many problems in the workplace, especially those who are good-looking but single. She hates others paying attention to her personal problems. In order not to cause too much trouble for herself, she smiled politely and replied, “I have a partner at the moment.”

Sima Ye immediately sighed, “He actually has a partner? I really want to know which promising young man can capture Miss Xu’s heart.”

Jiang Han cast a puzzled look at her. If she was really dating someone, it wouldn’t be hard to guess. Judging from how dedicated she was to Meisi Group and how she was willing to ruin his reputation, it was very likely that she was dating Cheng Ji.

Xu Yan looked at Sima Ye and said coldly, “Personal privacy, no comment.”

Chairman Guo’s secretary said, “Let’s talk about the development of the company, not gossip. Tongda Logistics has also achieved good results this year. Tell us about your experience.”

The representative of Tongda Logistics cleared his throat and said in a rhythmic manner, “This year we mainly developed an intelligent distribution platform, which is shared by our logistics company, individual truck drivers and customers to optimize resource allocation, reduce costs, and achieve a win-win situation for all three parties ...”

Xu Yan had no interest in listening to their discussion. He looked at his phone and ate snacks, hoping that this boring seminar would end soon.

We chatted until half past five and then went to the restaurant to eat. Since Xu Yan had already eaten something, he was not hungry and casually ate half a bowl of rice.

After a while, President Guo came over with a glass of wine and everyone drank a few sips. After finishing the wine, he walked to Xu Yan and said, “Miss Xu, I always feel like I have heard your name somewhere before.”

Xu Yan wanted to say that his family used to be in business, but Xu Shangrong’s bankruptcy and debt of 30 million yuan was not a good thing, so he smiled and said, “Maybe it’s because my name is more common.”

Chairman Guo shook his head, “How is it ordinary? Not ordinary at all.” But he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before, so he said a few words and walked to another table.

After finishing the meal, the group moved to another place, this time to a dance hall. A huge colored light hung above the dance hall, illuminating the room with a variety of colors, just like the 1990s.

Sima Ye came over and invited her, “Miss Xu, can I dance with you?”

Xu Yan shook his head, “I can’t dance.”

Sima Ye smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you can’t dance, I can teach you.”

She firmly refused, “I really can’t dance, I just want to watch you guys dance.”

“Are you worried that I am not good at dancing and can’t teach you? Then I will call Jiang Han, he is the best dancer.” He waved and called Jiang Han over, “Mr. Jiang, you teach Miss Xu to dance.”

Xu Yan said with interest, “Mr. Jiang teaches? Then I can’t dance well.”

“How could that be? You’re so smart, I think you’ll be able to learn it in one go.” Sima Ye said unwillingly.

When the others saw the two sworn enemies getting together, they started to make a scene again, “One jump, one jump, or you can’t leave tonight if you don’t jump.”

Jiang Han didn’t know if Xu Yan could dance, as they had never danced before. He only knew that Xu Yan was not easy to mess with now, so he waved his hand and said, “If you can’t dance, don’t force it on you.”

Xu Yan said with a smile, “The atmosphere is already so lively, how can we not dance? Everyone will be disappointed if we don’t.” After saying that, she reached out her hand to him.

Jiang Han felt that something was not right, but he didn’t want to lose momentum, so he took her hand and walked towards the dance hall.

Cheers and whistles were heard behind me.

Jiang Han put his arm around Xu Yan’s waist. Although she was wearing a coat, he could still feel her waist was thin and soft, and it felt great to touch. He couldn’t help but think of the past, his eyes blurred.

Soon, he felt a pain in his foot. Xu Yan’s high heels stepped on him. She pretended to apologize, “Mr. Jiang, I’m really sorry, I don’t have any talent for dancing.”

Jiang Han put away his thoughts and whispered in her ear, “It’s okay, just follow my rhythm. Take three steps forward with your left foot, two steps to the right...”

Before she could finish her words, she was stepped on again, and Xu Yan quickly apologized. Jiang Han felt vaguely that she seemed to have done it on purpose.

Continuing to dance, Jiang Han couldn’t help but ask her, “Are you really dating?”

Xu Yan didn’t answer and stepped on him hard again.

After finishing dancing a song, Jiang Han felt his feet were swollen from being stepped on.

The dance lasted for an hour, and Xu Yan went to President Guo to say goodbye, “President, my company has an emergency, so I need to leave first. Thank you for organizing this symposium, I have benefited a lot.”

President Guo said, “If you have something to do, please go back first and participate in our activities more often in the future.”

She nodded , “Okay, I’ll definitely participate more often.”

At this time, his secretary reminded him, “It’s raining outside, borrow an umbrella from the waiter.”

Jiang Han heard that it was raining outside, so he ran over and said to Xu Yan, “I’ll take you there.”

Xu Yan didn’t refuse, but ignored it. When he got out of the revolving door of the hall, he saw Cheng Ji standing in the corridor.

Jiang Han’s face looked extremely ugly.

“Why are you here?” Xu Yan asked him.

“I happened to be nearby, so I didn’t let the driver come over.” Cheng Ji asked Jiang Han with a smile, “Did you call the driver? If not, follow my car?”

He refused bluntly, “No, I’ll leave later.”

“Then we’ll go first.” Cheng Ji opened the umbrella and placed it above Xu Yan’s head.

The two shared an umbrella and walked towards the car.

Jiang Han looked at the background of the two people, his hands clenched into fists.
