The delegation only set off when it was nearing the meeting time.
The location for the negotiation with the Zheng Corporation was initially arranged to be at the Yu Corporation. However, as the representative of the Zheng Corporation was not feeling well, the location was changed to the hotel the other party was staying.
This was a minor issue and they could all accommodate this arrangement.
Nian Xiaomu led her team of colleagues from her department and headed to the agreed location.
The time was 3 p.m.
As they were about to enter the conference room, booked by the Zheng Corporation, at the hotel at the agreed time, the secretary received a call.
The secretary reached out to muff the speaker of the phone and asked, “Manager Nian, someone from the Zheng Corporation called to inform us that Vice-President Zheng is still not feeling well and they have called a doctor to check on her. They are asking if we can wait for them for a little while?”
Nian Xiaomu frowned slightly. However, she understood the situation and nodded her head.
The secretary replied to the other party quickly.
After the secretary hung up the call, the employees of the public relations department were left facing one another in the conference room.
A few colleagues couldn’t help it and spoke up,
“We have accommodated the time and meeting location just to fit their schedule, but they still do not appear in the end. So high and mighty, eh?”
“Yeah, the other employees from the Zheng Corporation should still appear even if Vice-President Zheng is not feeling well.”
“Are they actually taking us down a notch?”
“Is your brain okay? If one party has got to take someone a notch down and establish an imposing air, the Yu Corporation should be the one doing so. How could the others be the ones doing this to us? I bet you are really feeling unwell…”
“…”
Nian Xiaomu did not say anything as she sat down.
Instead, the secretary calmed the atmosphere down by saying, “All of you should speak less, some of the employees of the Zheng Corporation have already made their way down.”
Just as the secretary finished speaking, a few people who were dressed in suits appeared at the entrance of the conference room of the hotel.
They looked at Nian Xiaomu apologetically the moment they entered the room.
“Manager Nian, so sorry to keep all of you waiting!” A middle-aged man who had led the pack walked forward quickly and extended his hand toward Nian Xiaomu.
There was a layer of perspiration on his forehead.
He seemed to have rushed down in a hurry.
Nian Xiaomu held onto the other party’s hand slowly and asked in concern, “How’s Vice-President Zheng? Is she feeling alright?”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he knitted his eyebrows and seemed to have sighed silently replying, “We are not too sure now, the secretary has stayed in the room to take care of her and they are waiting for the doctor to arrive. We are so sorry, please wait a little while longer for our vice-president.”
“…”
As Manager Nian took a glance at the secretary, she walked forward quickly and ushered the people from the Zheng Corporation to their seats.
The conference room fell silent after all the exchanging of conventional greetings.
As this was the first time that both parties were meeting each other, they did not have other topics to chat about apart from the collaboration.
However, Zheng Yan was not around and there is no one else who could call the shots in the Zheng Corporation. As such, Nian Xiaomu could not discuss the collaboration even if she wanted to and all she could do was to wait.
The atmosphere turned a little gloomy at that moment.
At the same time.
In the Yu Corporation.
Yu Yuehan had just come out of the meeting room. As the assistant followed him by his side, he reminded him of his schedule for the day.
All of a sudden, he stopped in his tracks.
As he raised his hand and took a glance at the luxurious watch on his wrist, he knitted his eyebrows slightly and said, “She didn’t head to the employees’ cafeteria today. Did she not have her lunch?”
“… What?…” The assistant said, dumbfounded.
When he met Yu Yuehan’s unhappy gaze, he snapped back to his senses quickly and said, “There is a negotiation with the Zheng Corporation this afternoon and Miss Nian had ordered food delivery.”
The assistant reported to him quickly before he mocked him silently in his heart.
Young Master Han, do you dare to let Miss Nian know that you are so concerned about her?
She might just shift in to stay with you again if you tell her about it. In that case, you can stare at her while she has her meal every day.
“Zheng Corporation? Who’s the representative?” Yu Yuehan’s eyes flickered when the assistant told her that it was Zheng Yan and his face turned overcast instantly.
“Why was it her?!”
