163 Argue Based On Reason
It was not a difficult task for Jing Yan, but he pretended to be troubled and said, “I really want to help you, but I’ll be very busy these few days. Why don’t you find time to come to my company? I’ll get the IT department to cooperate with you.”
He Miao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. “Okay, I’ll go over tomorrow afternoon.”
In the afternoon, there was an experimental class for the upper-year group. She could not use the laboratory, so she was free.
The corners of Jing Yan’s lips curled up to the back of his ears, but his voice was still cold and deep. “Okay, see you tomorrow. Go to bed early and don’t stay up late. Be good.”
!!
“I know.” He Miao’s heart was beating fast. She hid half of her head under the blanket, her muffled voice a little cute.
Hearing her voice, Jing Yan could not help but miss her. After saying goodnight to each other, he hung up the phone in a hurry. Looking at the dark sky outside, he suddenly felt that the whole world was as cute as she was.
The clouds in the sky blended into the night, and the streets were connected with colorful lines, which finally converged in front of a dim yellow lamp in the villa area.
“Mom, I think He Miao’s suggestion is worth our consideration.”
“What do you know? You’re too naive, Xia Yan. What did I teach you?” Lu Shuang walked around the desk and looked at her daughter, who was almost as tall as her. The words of reprimand were at the tip of her tongue, but she could not say them.
She sighed heavily and patted her on the shoulder. “Do you remember what I told you before? When we make investments, we don’t just look at the return. More importantly, we look at the other party’s character. Now that He Miao’s identity as an illegitimate daughter is all over the internet, we, the Xia Corporation, will never work with such a person!”
“Mom! I know what you hate, but you’ve also said before that we can’t just listen to one side of the story. I believe He Miao has the ability to solve this problem!” Xia Yan looked at her mother with a slightly anxious expression. She had once proposed to invest in Morning Fragrance, but her mother had refused. As a result, Morning Fragrance was growing bigger and bigger, and they could only watch helplessly.
She did not understand why her mother rejected her suggestions every time. Was it because she was still an undergraduate student that she could reject her without considering the benefits?
“You believe that? What makes you believe that? Is it your baseless intuition again?” Lu Shuang shook her head in annoyance and waved at her. “Go away. I don’t want to discuss He Miao with you anymore. In any case, I don’t agree. The Xia family won’t cooperate, and they won’t let you bring her to our private party.”
“Mom!” Xia Yan’s gaze was firm and she refused to leave. She said, “This time, I’ll definitely prove that I’m not wrong. If He Miao can resolve this smoothly and get rid of the rumors, you’ll have to listen to me this time and let He Miao attend the party.”
“Yanyan, are you going to fight with mom over someone you’ve only met once?” Lu Shuang’s dark eyes were filled with anger and authority as she looked at her.
Xia Yan knew her mother well and knew why she was so domineering that she did not allow anyone to disobey her. Yet, she still held her head high and argued, “Mom, don’t mix personal grudges with work matters. You taught me that too.”
“Good, very good.” Lu Shuang was so angry that she kept nodding her head. She glared at her daughter who was no longer obedient and said fiercely, “I can promise you that, but if you can’t prove yourself this time, you’ll have to stay in school before you graduate. You’re not allowed to interfere with the company’s affairs!”
The door was slammed shut by Xia Yan. Lu Shuang stared at Xia Yan’s back as she left, which resembled her father’s. She glanced at the empty study and suddenly shook her head with a smile. However, tears began to well up in her eyes.
The next morning, a woman in a casual suit suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Fragrance and Perfumes Department. The people who passed by recognized her and gasped, retreating a long distance away as if avoiding a teacher.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door of the classroom. Her voice was calm and indifferent. “He Miao, come out for a moment.”
He Miao, who was eating fruit with Xu Meng, heard the noise. She put down the grapes in her hand and walked over. “President Xia, I didn’t expect you to be here first.”
Xia Yan sized her up from head to toe and suddenly smiled. “Come with me.”
She brought He Miao to an empty corner and asked in a calm tone, “How long do you take to deal with the things on the internet?”
“This afternoon.”
The two did not mention anything specific, but they knew each other’s thoughts tacitly, so it was effortless to communicate.
Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction and said, My mother found out about this last night and she’s not very optimistic about you.”
“But the two of us are the ones who are truly cooperating.” He Miao smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, “As long as you trust me, nothing will be a problem.”
