Chapter 76: 076 She just can’t be An Lan!
Shi Lan very reluctantly sat beside Yan Shixiu, thinking that the car accident cliché was probably unavoidable now.
Mr. Yan probably sensed that Miss Shi was being temperamental and thus created some distance between them, playing the strategy of advancing when the enemy retreats and attacking when the enemy advances to perfection.
Because Mr. Yan remembered the lessons from his past life and did not want to push Shi Lan too hard, even if he teased, it was always just enough and no more.
“Miss An, I really want to know, did you personally write that letter? Sorry, I don’t mean anything else; I just find it too shocking.” The head of Glory spoke to Shi Lan before the banquet started.
Shi Lan turned her head to glance at Yan Shixiu and noticed that his expression was very calm, as if he had no intention of joining the discussion. Consequently, she brought out her prepared response: “I’ve always paid close attention to both domestic and international fashion brands and frequently visit some financial forums, so I wrote that letter on a whim out of love for the field. I didn’t expect it to draw such attention. If Mr. Lei would like more details, we can talk another day; this might not be the right occasion for business talk today.”
“Alright, then let’s agree on that,” the head of Glory said.
After they made this arrangement, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly grew cold.
At this moment, Yan Shixiu naturally took on the role of a peacemaker, starting conversations with the people from Glory and defusing the awkwardness.
At this moment, Shi Lan felt somewhat moved. She wasn’t incapable of handling such situations, but she had never been able to easily delegate the parts she despised to someone else . This tacit understanding in business made her feel exceptionally comfortable.
Meanwhile, Sun Ling had not gone to the dinner as he was supposed to meet Tang Ze. He was shocked to hear that Glory had come to apologize and wanted to know what had happened.
“What’s going on? Why has Glory suddenly changed their attitude? And the manager came personally to apologize?” After they entered Shi Lan’s room, Tang Ze asked Sun Ling.
“I’m not sure, I just know that An Lan sent an email to the head office of Glory and then video-called the manager of Glory’s European headquarters. They spoke in Italian, and today, the manager from Glory’s Asia Pacific region came to apologize,” Sun Ling responded, scratching his head.
At that time, Shi Lan was still at the dinner.
Tang Ze sat down on the sofa and burst into laughter after hearing Sun Ling’s explanation: “Do you even realize what you’re saying?”
“I know you won’t believe it, but when I saw her typing the email in English and speaking Italian with the foreigners, I couldn’t believe it either, but it’s the truth,” Sun Ling shrugged. “Tang, do you think… maybe An Lan had some skills she hid from you before?”
“Hid my ass! A person who can even mispronounce ‘Hello Kitty,’ and you tell me she speaks fluent English? Before she gets back, quickly tell me all the strange things about her lately,” Tang Ze said urgently.
“She’s very picky with food…”
“Has severe sleep disorders…”
“Excellent in horseback riding…”
“Acting skills are incredible…”
“Mysterious and inscrutable…”
“Dislikes Gu Chengyu…”
“And now her English and Italian are exceptional.”
After listening, Tang Ze’s legs slightly went weak, and it took him a while before he asked Sun Ling, “Does she drink blood? If she isn’t afraid of light, could she be some kind of foreign demon?”
“Tang, don’t scare me.”
“Why would I scare you? Based on what you’ve described, she can’t possibly be An Lan!” Tang Ze said decisively.
