All eyes involuntarily turned towards him, who would have thought that this time’s big client would be so handsome, so elegant, so stunning.
Ai Li, Lin Shasha, and another female colleague’s eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement. They had expected to deal with those old and sleazy clients again but were pleasantly surprised to meet a Prince Charming instead.
Each began consciously flipping their hair and adjusting their clothes, their big eyes blinking as they tried to radiate their charm towards the man.
But Ling Chuxia was completely stunned the moment she saw the man. Her eyes unconsciously widened in sheer disbelief.
Shi Che... How could it be Shi Che... Had she seen wrong?
Ling Chuxia hurriedly closed her eyes, squeezed her hands tightly, then slowly opened them again. However, the familiar face, the familiar figure, the man who had been disturbing her thoughts all this time, was right in front of her.
Ling Chuxia stood there, frozen, her mind blank.
Manager Chen saw Shi Che arriving and a glint of immense surprise and excitement flashed in her eyes. Though it had been hinted that Shi Family’s President, Shi Che, might personally come to discuss the cooperation, she couldn’t believe it. After all, they had been proactively reaching out to the Shi Family several times, only to be decisively turned down. They thought all hope was lost, but who could have imagined that President Shi would actually come in person... how could she not be overwhelmed with honor?
Manager Chen immediately put on a respectful smile and approached, "President Shi, I didn’t expect you to come here in person, hello, hello."
As she spoke, she reached out her hand towards Shi Che.
Shi Che glanced at her indifferently, his expression nonchalant, he briefly shook her hand, then withdrew it.
Manager Chen wasn’t embarrassed and still smiled, making a welcoming gesture with her hand, "President Shi, please take a seat over here."
Shi Che nodded and strode towards the dining table. As his dark eyes unintentionally swept over the table area, they suddenly fixated, and he stopped abruptly in his tracks.
At the table, the three female colleagues had already stood up, but only Ling Chuxia was still sitting dumbly on her chair. Lin Shasha noticed she was still seated and quickly tugged at her, whispering, "Xiaxia, what are you still sitting for? Get up quickly!"
Ling Chuxia seemed not to hear and remained seated. Lin Shasha became anxious—this was not the time to freeze. What a poor impression it would give their important client. Without further thought, she pinched Ling Chuxia’s waist discreetly, "Xiaxia, get up!"
The pain snapped Ling Chuxia out of her trance. She lifted her eyes and met Shi Che’s black ones.
His black eyes were as unfathomably deep and inscrutable as ever. He stared at her intently, a silent pressure sweeping over her. Ling Chuxia’s hands trembled violently as she abruptly lowered her gaze, avoiding Shi Che’s stare.
In that instant, Ling Chuxia’s heart clenched and got tangled into knots. She never expected that the big client from Liang City would really be Shi Che. Since leaving Liang City, she had never thought of meeting Shi Che again, yet here he was... unexpectedly.
What was she to do now?
