Chapter 408 - Collaboration With Yun Group (2)
Three days later, Tang Moyu was scheduled to meet Yun Zhen officially for the first time to discuss the project Tang Enterprise was collaborating with the Yun Group. Just the news that they were going to work together alone had been big news within the business circle in Shenzhen. It even reached the news and entertainment articles that usually focused more on the possible romantic relationship between two high profile businessmen.
Tang Moyu arrived at Yun Group with Cheng Ning and Lu Tianxin, bringing their team together with them. They were led to one of the conference rooms and were asked to wait for Yun Zhen. They didn't wait for too long as the man had stepped into the room with such an aura that no one could easily ignore.
Tang Moyu had seen him a couple of times already, and although there were plenty of pictures of him in glossy gossip magazines, she failed to notice the charisma the man had on women like her. However, she was aware of his business ac.u.men and how he emanated authority whenever he was around.
His eyes seemed to smile when he caught sight of Tang Moyu next to Lu Tianxin. He pulled out his right hand from his pocket, extending it to Tang Moyu.
"CEO Tang, it's been a while." He said with a vague smile on his face. His steely baritone voice was enough to make any woman swoon for him. Unfortunately it didn't have the same effect on the empress.
Tang Moyu accepted the offer and took his hand, thinking it was just a simple handshake and pleasantries between them.
"Has it really been that long? I don't think so, President Yun." She said.
However, the man didn't take her hand for a customary handshake and took it to kiss her knuckles.It shocked not only Tang Moyu, but every single person within the room as well.
'What the hell?' Lu Tianxin couldn't believe that even the aloof king of Yun Group had fallen on her cousin's feet. She suddenly thought that the devil, who had recently left for Linyi City, would surely throw a fit if this event reached his ears.
Within the empress's circle of friends, no one was unaware of Feng Tianyi's feelings and protectiveness for the empress.
Yun Zhen's eyes brushed over Tang Moyu, head to toe, then back to her impassive face. Laughter lightly flashed in his eyes as he looked at her and the corner of his lips twisted into a smile.
"Let the meeting start. I want to know what we have here so far." He crossed his legs in a lazy manner and tapped the table. Even though seated, his whole demeanor emanated authority and raw s.e.x.u.a.lity. His dark, tailored suit complementing his sharp facial features.
Tang Moyu also took a seat, crossing her legs. She had this odd feeling that Yun Zhen was staring at her, but she refused to look up and instructed her team to start the meeting.
She had long mastered the art of maintaining a professional facade in front of anyone she'd met and she wouldn't break it just because he was Yun Zhen. At the same time, Tang Moyu couldn't help but feel annoyed with him.
She certainly didn't appreciate his earlier actions in front of her team. She didn't want people to misunderstand that there was something going on between them when there was none.
The meeting continued without any glitch and Yun Zhen had given comments and pointed out areas to improve, much to Tang Moyu's team shock.
Rumour had it that Yun Zhen was ruthless and would occasionally rip off several proposals coming his way. Seeing that he was being considerate, was it because he favored the empress and wanted to lure her on his side, so he was willing to overlook the team's shortcomings?
They glanced at each other and looked at Yun Zhen and Tang Moyu. They all noticed the disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e on Tang Moyu's face, which confused them even more.
Once the meeting was over, they left one by one, but Yun Zhen held Tang Moyu's wrist, stopping her, even before she was able to escape his presence.
"Moyu, let's talk." He told her.
Tang Moyu struggled to keep her composure but she couldn't retaliate and disrespect him in front of everyone, especially when she needed to make sure that this project with Yun Group would end well.
"Sure, no problem. What is it that you want to talk about?" She adjusted the lapel of her coat and sat across him, putting enough distance between them.
"I want you to brief me on every step of this project. I plan to actively participate in it until I'm satisfied." Yun Zhen said.
Tang Moyu blinked. Yun Zhen didn't need to do such a thing. Compared to Yun Group, Tang Enterprise was nothing but a mid-sized company that was on the same level as other companies under the Yun Group. This was why she was surprised when a proposal ended up on her table.
This project wasn't even as large as what the Tang Enterprise had with Ye Corporation. So why would Yun Zhen want to waste his time on it?
Yun Zhen shifted slightly in his seat as he regarded her, looking at her beautiful face intently. Tang Moyu suddenly felt uncomfortable under his gaze. What the hell did he want from her? Hadn't she already made it clear that her promise didn't hold any weight anymore?
"Moyu, do you have any plans for tonight?" He suddenly asked, much to her surprise.
"W-what?" She blurted out with uncertainty before she shot him with a scathing look.
"Would you like to have dinner with me?"
