Chapter 117 Rivals in Love? She'll take them all down one by one!
The newcomer had a beaming smile, and was elegant, composed, gentle, and polite.
She is Liu Zi, the daughter of the Liu family, which is as famous as the Gu family in Jinshi.
"Si Heng, Miss Liu is one of the partners in this project. The successful completion of this collaboration would not have been possible without the strong support of these partners."
Bo Yuanzhou introduced the two with a smile.
He had gone to great lengths to prepare for this meeting, intending to embarrass He Yan.
Moreover, since the other party also intends to make friends, it's even easier to go with the flow.
"Mr. Bo, it's an honor to see you again!"
Liu Zi has a generous smile, yet she is humble and polite.
She didn't immediately display her ambition, but rather knew how to proceed step by step.
"Miss, may I ask your name?"
Liu Zi seemed to only just notice He Yan, her eyes filled with apology.
However, He Yan keenly sensed that she was not here with good intentions.
Bo Siheng's lips curled slightly in response.
"Hello, Miss Liu, this is my wife, He Yan."
This project is very important, and Bo Siheng should also pay attention to it.
Moreover, no matter where they are, he and He Yan must be a loving couple.
He won't let anyone discover his problem.
"She came here specifically to accompany me on this business trip."
"So it's Mrs. Bo. You're so beautiful. Even in ordinary clothes, your beauty is still undeniable."
Liu Zi's words seemed to be a compliment, but they were actually a form of belittling.
It's simply because they think He Yan can only rely on her looks.
She did it on purpose, wanting to mock He Yan through a competition of female rivalry.
"Hello, Miss Liu."
He Yan simply smiled faintly.
How could she not see through Bo Yuanzhou's scheme? He was just trying to disgust her on purpose.
“I came here with my husband on a business trip, and I originally planned to take the opportunity to relax. I didn’t expect my second uncle to suddenly say there was a banquet, so we came in a hurry and didn’t even have time to change our clothes.”
He Yan skillfully defused Liu Zi's subtle disdain.
Her poised and graceful demeanor boosted Bo Siheng's reputation.
Seeing that this approach wouldn't work, Bo Yuanzhou started causing trouble again.
"Si Heng, as the client, you'd better treat these partners well!"
He glanced at He Yan sideways, intending to take the opportunity to put her down.
"Miss Liu also said that she has always admired you. You two should have a good chat."
"Since Master Bo is so capable, Xiao Zi also wants to learn more from him."
After Bo Yuanzhou said those words, Liu Zi's smile revealed a hint of something.
However, she was clever and did not reveal it easily.
"Uncle, you're too kind. Of course, I will do my best to cooperate on this project."
Bo Siheng glanced at Bo Yuanzhou with an ambiguous expression.
He could guess his open scheme, so he deliberately misinterpreted his meaning.
They only steered the conversation toward business.
At the same time, he was also a little nervous.
Will He Yan have any thoughts about him, thinking he's attracting unwanted attention?
Bo Siheng kept glancing at He Yan's expression out of the corner of his eye.
I'm afraid she'll mind, but I'm even more afraid she won't.
Although he is emotionally detached and has always been reserved and abstinent, it doesn't mean he knows nothing.
He Yan could sense Bo Siheng's concerns from the way he held her hand tightly.
She turned her head and looked him in the eye openly.
"Ah Heng, your second uncle is so thoughtful. You've come from afar as a guest, so it's only right and proper to treat you well and express my gratitude."
"Madam is right, Miss Liu, everyone. This private dinner tonight is just a small token of my appreciation."
Bo Siheng took the wine glass from the waiter.
He raised his glass in a toast, looking at He Yan with a calm yet imposing air in his eyes.
"I hope that our future cooperation will be mutually beneficial!"
As soon as he finished speaking, other business partners raised their glasses in agreement.
"Master Bo is right!"
"That's right, it's a win-win situation for us!"
Liu Zizhi also raised her glass with a smile, but her smile seemed somewhat forced.
The banquet began, and everyone began their meal.
Bo Yuanzhou's expression was not good when he saw the seafood in front of him.
He dared not touch alcohol again, worried that he might have stomach problems and make a fool of himself.
He Yan suppressed a laugh as she saw his expression.
If this happens a few more times, Bo Yuanzhou might have to learn how to abstain from grains.
"Mr. Bo, did you see the paint samples our company sent last time? This is our company's first new product, which has a formaldehyde content that is two percentage points lower than our previous ones."
Liu Zi sat in a position far away from Bo Siheng and the other person.
She figured He Yan definitely wouldn't understand; she must have heard that He Yan had returned from the countryside.
What can a country girl like that have to compete with me?
She was confident that she could outshine He Yan.
However, when she saw the jade bracelet on He Yan's wrist, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
That thing looks very valuable!
Wearing it on someone like that would be a waste.
"I checked the paint, and it's better than before, but it's mealtime now, so let's not waste the delicious food."
Bo Siheng nodded, but took the opportunity of serving He Yan food to easily change the subject.
He kept an eye on He Yan and noticed that she didn't seem to have eaten much.
He then waved to the waiter.
"Could you please send me a serving of hazelnut crumble dessert with cream filling?"
He Yan glanced at Bo Siheng, her eyes showing surprise and a hint of happiness.
How did he know that I wanted to eat this?
Bo Siheng couldn't help but chuckle.
"Is Madam curious?"
He Yan immediately nodded and said, "I suspect you can read my mind."
"There was one of the candlelight dinners we didn't get to eat earlier, and I noticed you were staring at it the whole time."
Bo Siheng looked over with a gentle and doting gaze.
He Yan suddenly realized, "That seems to be the case."
A sweet feeling suddenly welled up in my heart, surpassing even the sweetest desserts.
Everyone could see how loving Mr. Bo and his wife were.
Only Liu Zi looked a little embarrassed; she felt slighted.
Bo Yuanzhou was unwilling to accept this; his ambition was stirring within him.
"Si Heng, do you want to go to the project site tomorrow and relax a bit? I heard there's a nice place to relax nearby, and several bosses have recommended it to me."
"Miss He, that place has all kinds of leisure and entertainment, you'll go there, won't you?"
Liu Zi knew that place and agreed.
He Yan smiled smugly and readily agreed.
“Okay, I’ll go with Ah Heng to take a look.”
Playing? That's her favorite thing to do.
……
the next day.
Bo Siheng took He Yan to the place.
It is a sports and leisure venue that emphasizes natural vitality.
Some of our partners who had dinner last night also came, as well as some people from other companies. They heard the news and wanted to try their luck. It would be great if they could secure one or two projects.
"Mr. Bo, it's rare for you to be in the mood to come here, you must have a good time."
"That's right. No matter how important work is, you can't skimp on leisure and entertainment."
Bo Siheng stood there, tall and elegant, with an air of superiority.
He simply smiled faintly and said, "Since Madam enjoys having fun, I came along with her."
Bo Yuanzhou stood aside, his jealousy and hatred growing wildly.
Those compliments should have been for him!
The CEOs chatted in twos and threes, and when they heard Mr. Bo mention his wife, they also asked about Bo Yuanzhou.
"Your wife is still abroad; she'll be back after the children's graduation ceremony."
Bo Yuanzhou's answers were somewhat absent-minded.
He gritted his teeth, and for now, he could only endure it.
Most of the bosses brought their wives and children, and they were all waiting for them to change their clothes and come out.
"Women are such a hassle; you have to prepare this and that every time you go out to have fun."
"Don't be fooled by what General Manager Deng says, the smile in his eyes never fades."
Everyone burst into laughter, and some people asked about He Yan.
"Mr. Bo, where is your wife?"
"She's making preparations too, looks like we'll have to urge her."
Bo Siheng smiled, realizing that He Yan had been gone for quite a while.
He knew He Yan would be alright, but he still couldn't help turning around to look for her.
I just feel uneasy when I don't see her.
