Cutie Delivered, Please Sign for it-Chapter 76 - Pleading for Xing Bailun

After gossiping a bit more, Qi Xiao suddenly asked, “Ying Zi, do you know that Yan’s son was giving Aaron a hard time these past couple of days!”

Zhu Qianying was taken aback!

“What? What happened to Aaron?”

For Zhu Qianying, the first thought that came to her mind was Xing Bailun getting beaten up.

In her subconscious, Yanhuang’s new CEO, Yan’s son, when displeased with someone, would generally resort to violence.

“You really don’t know?”

“Know what? Tell me,” Zhu Qianying was rather anxious.

“He’s fine, just that a cooperation project that his company has been discussing with Yan’s son was put on hold!”

“When did this happen?”

With sweat breaking out in Zhu Qianying’s palms, she realized why Yan’s son hadn’t made a move these past few days. Could it be because of this?

“I think it happened a few days ago. Aaron hasn’t gone home for days, trying to find a solution. You probably don’t know, but his father originally planned to let Aaron officially take over the Xing family’s assets after signing this cooperation project with Yanhuang. Now that this has happened, you can imagine the pressure on Aaron.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Qianying sat in the hotel room, deep in thought. Eventually, she decided to go find Yan’s son in person.

Before leaving, she first called Qin Xiu to confirm that Yan’s son was in Yanhuang office, and then left the hotel.

The taxi passed by Mingxuan Hotel, and Zhu Qianying asked the driver to wait for her. She entered the hotel, found the lobby manager, and packed some delicious tea snacks, then headed straight to the Yanhuang Group with the snacks.

Perhaps Qin Xiu had already informed the receptionist, and Zhu Qianying was able to go directly to the top floor, where the CEO’s Office was located, without any hindrance.

Probably having received the message from the receptionist, Qin Xiu was already waiting at the elevator entrance. He quickly greeted Zhu Qianying as soon as he saw her, “Miss Zhu, Yan’s son’s mood hasn’t been very good these past two days. Please bear with him a bit.”

Zhu Qianying wondered if she was the reason behind Yan’s son’s sour mood.

Though she was thinking this, her face exhibited no change. “Mr. Qin, this is a snack from Mingxuan. Please try it.”

Mingxuan’s longevity in L City all these years is inseparable from the taste and uniqueness of the food it provides.

Whether it’s tea snacks or regular meals, in L City, Mingxuan Hotel’s offerings are unquestionably the best.

Qin Xiu, with his status, could afford to dine at Mingxuan, but getting freshly made, hot snacks packed from there was not easy, because many of Mingxuan’s snacks are limited in quantity and could not be easily bought even with money.

“Thank you, Miss Zhu!”

Qin Xiu happily received the bag of snacks, but after a second thought, he returned it. “Miss Zhu, you should give this to Yan’s son instead.”

Zhu Qianying handed Qin Xiu another bag, “You eat, I packed two portions.”

By receiving the gift, Qin Xiu naturally felt obliged to do something in return. He escorted Zhu Qianying all the way to the CEO’s office, knocked on the door, and said, “Yan’s son!”

“Come in!”

Qin Xiu opened the door and signaled Zhu Qianying with his eyes to go in quickly.

Zhu Qianying stepped inside, with the door behind her closing from the outside.

Yan’s son, sitting at his desk, didn’t look up. He probably thought it was Qin Xiu who had entered. “Is the meeting data ready? Email it to me.”

Zhu Qianying didn’t make a sound, strode to the front of the desk, and placed the bag on the desk.

When it came to Xing Bailun’s business, Zhu Qianying’s attitude was unusually good.

“Yan’s son, it’s time for afternoon tea.”

She had once heard from Qin Xiu that Yan’s son’s eating timings were very punctual. Breakfast at 6:40, lunch at 12, afternoon tea at 4, and dinner at 7.

Buried in a pile of documents, Yan’s son abruptly looked up, his sharp eyes coldly looking at her!

“You’re back?”

Hearing his words, Zhu Qianying realized that this man must already know that she had been on a trip with Xing Bailun to R City.

Ordinarily, Zhu Qianying wouldn’t bother to explain such matters, but since this concerned Xing Bailun’s reputation, she had to patiently explain.

“Yes, a few days ago my father was annoying me terribly, so I thought I’d go to R City to see my younger sister. It just so happened that Aaron had to go there as well, so we went together to keep Xiao Yu company. I hope Yan’s son doesn’t mind?!”

Zhu Qianying confessed before Yan’s son could ask, in an attempt to maintain as much initiative as possible.

The corner of Yan’s son’s mouth lightly lifted upward, a hint of mockery evident in his dark eyes.

“What do you think, do I mind, or do I not?”

Faced with Yan’s son’s counter-question, Zhu Qianying didn’t know how to reply.

“Well…These snacks were specially packed from Mingxuan, you should eat them while they’re still hot!” Zhu Qianying attempted to change the topic and, carrying the bag of snacks, turned to go to the reception room.

She didn’t forget that Yan’s son, being as particular as he is, doesn’t like people eating in his office.

This time, Yan’s son surprisingly stopped going through the files. Standing up, he followed her into the reception room.

Zhu Qianying was taking the snacks out of the box when she heard the door close behind her, followed by Yan’s son’s cold voice.

“Did you come here specifically to bring me tea snacks? Or, are you pleading for Xing Bailun?”

Zhu Qianying paused, did he…was he lying in wait all along for her to come begging?
