"It's Snowing in the Wind. If you like, I'll give it to you."
"That's not necessary. I was just asking."
After being interrupted by Xia Wanyuan, the charming and gentle atmosphere that Xuan Sheng had deliberately created was gone. He glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who was calmly drinking tea. Xuan Sheng did not know if she had done it intentionally or not.
"I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. It's just that when I signed the contract with your father, there was a clause that was controversial. Now that the Xia family has changed Chairman, we naturally have to renegotiate this clause."
Xuan Sheng tugged at his collar and became serious. He began to talk about serious matters with Xia Wanyuan.
"Which one? Article 20 of the Council? Or Article 30 of the donation? Or is it the last piece of document 20?" Xia Wanyuan recalled the contents of the contract and asked a few questions that she found controversial after reading the contract.
As Xia Wanyuan reported the conditions one by one, Xuan Sheng's eyes lit up.
The few things that Xia Wanyuan had mentioned were all problems that the investment department of Glory World Corporation had found out after multiple checks. It was really unexpected that Xia Wanyuan could point them out without thinking.
"We'll talk about the contract later." Xuan Sheng, who was just discussing serious matters, suddenly pulled the chessboard over. "Miss Xia, do you want to play a round?"
Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Xuan Sheng had already placed a black piece on the middle of the chessboard.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at the chessboard, took out a white piece, and surrounded the black stones.
The corners of Xuan Sheng's lips curled up as he placed another stone.
After dozens of rounds, no matter how Xuan Sheng planned, he could not break through Xia Wanyuan's encirclement.
"Impressive. I think it's going to be a draw." Having failed another breakthrough, Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan in admiration.
"A draw??" Xia Wanyuan smiled gently. Xuan Sheng felt that it was the third month of spring and that it was filled with flowers. "I have never attacked."
Xia Wanyuan's smile distracted him. By the time he realized what she had said and looked at the chessboard, the black stones had already been utterly defeated.
"Looks like." Xuan Sheng threw away the remaining black stones in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the desk.
When Xuan Sheng returned to the sofa after taking the contract, Xia Wanyuan didn't ask him what it looked like.
Xuan Sheng could only speak himself. "Are you not going to tell me what does it look like?"
"I won't ask. In the end, it's something I don't want to hear." After a few interactions, Xia Wanyuan really didn't have any hopes of Xuan Sheng saying nice things.
"Haha, Miss Xia, you're so interesting." Xuan Sheng placed the contract in front of Xia Wanyuan. "What I wanted to say just now was that the defeated chessboard is like my heart, which had lost all its armor after meeting Miss Xia."
"As expected, it's something I don't want to hear," Xia Wanyuan said without looking up as she read the contract.
The corners of Xuan Sheng's lips curled up. He did not speak further and took the contract to discuss the controversial clause with Xia Wanyuan.
"Old Guo, it's not easy for young ladies either. Aren't you going too far?"
Seeing that Guo Tian's Weibo was causing more and more controversy on the Internet, the number of netizens who surged to scold Xia Wanyuan increased.
In the office, Guo Tian saw that he was editing a new Weibo post again. His colleague could not stand it anymore and tried to persuade him.
"Old Li, are you jealous of my zither music being sold for money? That kind of zither music was never something Xia Wanyuan could play. I was just telling the truth."
As he spoke, Guo Tian successfully sent another Weibo post.
