Chapter 63 - Picky with Food

Chapter 63: Picky with Food

The new little intern was gradually convinced by his seniors. He did not know that he had already brushed shoulders with the truth.

Under Lin Jing’s lead, Xia Wanyuan took the CEO’s private elevator to the floor where Jun Shiling’s office was located.

“Madam, Young Master is waiting for you in the innermost office. I have something on, so I won’t be sending you there.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The space on this floor was huge. As the elevator rose, Xia Wanyuan could see employees walking around every floor through the transparent elevator.

It was truly admirable to have such a large company employee in this city center where every inch of land was worth gold.?Xia Wanyuan thought as she walked.

What she didn’t know was that one of the buildings here was developed by the Jun Corporation, and this office building belonged to the Jun Corporation.

In front of the door of the innermost office was a few pots of green plants. The carving of the golden-wood door was exquisite and solemn.

Knock! Knock!

Xia Wanyuan knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open and entered.

Unlike the tall and luxurious CEO’s offices that she had seen on television, although Jun Shiling’s office was huge, the decorations were extremely simple, just like Jun Shiling’s person, exuding an extremely restrained aura.

The black-colored office occupied nearly 200 square meters. Other than the desk, sofa, and the tea table hidden under the huge green plants beside it.

Jun Shiling was sitting behind his desk, reading the documents in his hands seriously. The exquisitely tailored white shirt outlined his perfect figure. Even in the deserted office, Jun Shiling’s tie was neatly tied.

Jun Shiling originally thought that his assistant had knocked on the door, but no one made a sound at the door. Jun Shiling looked up and realized that Xia Wanyuan had arrived. He had thought that Xia Wanyuan would not have come so quickly.

“You’re here.” Jun Shiling stood up and led Xia Wanyuan to the sofa. He sat down and poured her a cup of tea. Xia Wanyuan reached out to receive it.

One of the two of them poured the tea naturally, while the other poured it one after another. None of them realized that the fact that Jun Shiling had personally poured the tea was something unbelievable.

Even Jun Shiling himself did not realize that during his time with Xia Wanyuan, he had gradually placed her on the same level as him.

“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan was indeed a little thirsty. After drinking a mouthful of tea, she felt much better.

“You said on WeChat that you had something to discuss with me. What’s the matter?” Jun Shiling asked as he poured himself a cup of water with the teapot.

“Can we sign the divorce agreement earlier?”

Jun Shiling’s hand that was holding the teapot paused. Some water spilled out of the teacup and splashed on the table.

“Why?”

Jun Shiling filled a cup of tea and sat back on the sofa quietly. He looked into Xia Wanyuan’s eyes and asked.

“Since we’re going to get a divorce sooner or later, we can sign the agreement first. I can help you hide it until after Grandpa’s birthday.”

Xia Wanyuan wanted to take advantage of the Xia family’s bankruptcy to take over the Xia family’s businesses, but she didn’t have that much funds on hand. Back then, Jun Shiling had promised her a hundred million dollars as a severance fee if they got a divorce, so Xia Wanyuan wanted to use this sum of funds early.

“The date of the agreement has long been drafted by the lawyers, and the contents of the agreement can only take effect two months later. The divorce fees mentioned in the agreement cannot be withdrawn until the time is right.”

Jun Shiling spoke slowly. Seeing the slight fluctuation in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes when she heard about the divorce fee, Jun Shiling felt more confident.

“Fine.”

It seemed that this method would not work. How could I raise the money?

“Do you lack money?” Jun Shiling did not find any reluctance to part with this marriage in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, but he did not find any disgust for it either. After understanding Xia Wanyuan’s needs, Jun Shiling leisurely picked up the teacup on the table, swallowed, and drank a mouthful of hot tea.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling in surprise, but she quickly understood. With Jun Shiling’s intelligence, he should be able to guess her intentions.

Perhaps it was because Jun Shiling was exceptionally professional and patient when he explained the contents of the book to Xia Wanyuan the previous time, but Xia Wanyuan had an inexplicable trust in Jun Shiling.

Seeing that Jun Shiling was asking about it, Xia Wanyuan did not hide it and told him about Han Yuan’s request to save the Xia family corporation.

“You want to take over the Xia family?”

Xia Wanyuan did not say what she thought, but Jun Shiling could tell what she really wanted to do.

“Yes, but I lack funds.”

“I’ll lend it to you at market rates.”

Even if a month ago, Xia Wanyuan still had a greedy image in front of outsiders, at this moment, Jun Shiling felt that if he said that he didn’t need any compensation to lend Xia Wanyuan money, she would reject him to a large extent.

As expected, Xia Wanyuan readily accepted Jun Shiling’s words. “Okay.”

“I’ll send someone to investigate the Xia family’s actual situation and lend it to you according to the actual investment amount it needs.”

“That’s even better. Thank you.”

Xia Wanyuan didn’t have a deep understanding of the current business model, so she didn’t know that being able to receive the professional evaluation of the Jun Corporation was something that many corporations dreamed of but could not reach. The value of this matter had already exceeded the value of the funds that were lent.

“i won’t disturb you then, I’m going back.”

Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling should be quite busy, so she did not want to waste his time here.

“It’s already noon. Eat lunch here before leaving.”

Jun Shiling looked at the time and tried to persuade her to stay.

Xia Wanyuan was about to decline when there was a knock on the office door. Xia Wanyuan was worried that her appearance here would bring gossip and gossip to Jun Shiling.

“Come in,” Jun Shiling said. Xia Wanyuan didn’t even have time to put on her mask.

“Young Master, Madam, I brought your lunch up.”

Lin Jing was holding a lunch box in one hand and standing at the door.

Since the food had been delivered, Xia Wanyuan decided to stay for lunch.

Lin Jing put down the lunch box and left the office.

Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and ate. In the eyes of the public, the patriarch of the Jun family had boundless glory, and his life should be extremely extravagant. Every meal he ate was a full banquet.

In reality, there were only four dishes and a soup on the table.

Xia Wanyuan belonged to the category of people who could eat anything when they lacked food. However, when there was space to choose, she was also a little picky.

Xia Wanyuan liked to eat the meat cooked with green beans. She liked the taste of the green beans, but she did not like the texture of the green beans.

Xia Wanyuan scooped a small spoonful of green beans and placed it in her bowl. She picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and pushed the green beans aside. However, as someone who had experienced chaotic times and famines, Xia Wanyuan did not have the habit of wasting food.

Xia Wanyuan only started to eat the green beans after she had finished the meat in her bowl. The slightly rustic taste made Xia Wanyuan frown slightly.

“Why are you so picky?” Jun Shiling noticed Xia Wanyuan’s expression and his brows furrowed slightly. It seemed that Jun Yin, that little dumpling, had inherited her habit of being picky.

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Xia Wanyuan did not argue with Jun Shiling.

However, just as she swallowed a mouthful of green beans, Jun Shiling took the bowl from her.

“What’s the matter?”

Xia Wanyuan asked Jun Shiling in surprise, only to see Jun Shiling scooping the green beans from Xia Wanyuan’s bowl into his own.
