Chapter 721 Beautiful beas
At exactly 9:45 am, Liu Shan"s black car enters the parking lot of a company with huge windows. Compare to Fang Fabric"s exterior design, this building can be considered at the top of the line. If one did not know, they would have mistaken this place for a luxurious hotel.
Liu Shan parked the car and he stepped out of the driver seat, but his eyes still remained glued to the building in front of him. It was like a painting that makes one want to admire it from afar.
"Boss, could this be the reason why you chose Cloth Co.?"
He couldn"t help but ask as he opens the backseat door and held it open for his boss to step out.
"No, it is because of Cloth Co."s potentials."
Stepping out of the car, Yue Ling answers as she glances up at the building. It is indeed beyond anything she has ever seen, but its outer appearance does not matter to her.
In her perspective, even if the building were to hold its stunning shape and consider the best in all of Imperial if the inside is tarnish with the slightest flaw, it has no use for De L"amour.
She would rather take her business proposal to a less attractive place that will actually benefit her company.
"Let"s go, it"s almost 10."
Liu Shan was still distracted by the building"s outstanding details, but he quickly comes back to his senses. He closes the door and strides in a small jog to catch up to his boss.
"Wait for me. How can you, eh?"
Just as he caught up to Yue Ling, he comes to a screeching stop. She had suddenly stopped out of nowhere, if he didn"t stop himself in time, he would have knocked into her and sent her flying across the parking lot.
"What is it? Why did you stop?"
He asks with a frown and pouting lips. Seeing her head turned to look at the left side of her, he follows her gaze. When he saw what she was looking at, he gasps loudly.
"Oh! My! G.o.d! Is that a…"
"Lotus Evora."
Yue Ling finishes the sentence as she could not take her eyes off of the car. Its outer appearance was coated in a metallic silver color and had dark tinted windows making one unable to see inside. It also had black trims that enhanced the beauty of the car.
She slightly turns her body to face the direction she was looking at and smile curls on her lip.
"GT430. Whoever owns this car has done a great custom on it."
Her words entered Liu Shan"s ears and he turns his head to look at her. Seeing the smile on her face with a glistening look in her eyes, he scoffs a chuckle.
"Wow, you really do know your cars."
He looks back at the car, then pouts his lip. He tries to remember if Yue Ling owns any Lotus Evora GT430 in her garage, but unable to recall it, he touches his chin and deepens his thoughts.
"Wait a minute."
Remembering something, he abruptly looks back at her with one hand pointing to the car.
"Isn"t this the car model you were planning to buy before moving to Imperial?"
Yue Ling answers with a faint "mm". She was never one to stop and stare at anything. However, when it comes to cars, no matter what its price is, if she thinks it is a beauty, she will stop to admire it.
Staring at the beautiful beast in front of her, she was now determined to get herself one.
"Let"s go, we"re going to be late."
Like she had never stopped to check out the car, she continues in the direction of Cloth Co.
Liu Shan looks at the car one last time then turns his attention back to their purpose of coming here. He steadily follows after his boss and ponders in thought.
He looks up at the majestic building they were approaching and couldn"t help but wonder about the owner of the car. His eyes slightly narrow when he remembers the mysterious owner of the place and he smirks mischievously.
"This will be interesting."
As they entered Cloth Co., Yue Ling and Liu Shan were greeted by silence as the entire first floor was practically empty with only a few security guards standing in position against the walls.
Yue Ling"s eyes scan the premises without turning her head as Liu Shan does the same.
"Boss, are we at the right place?"
Liu Shan whispers confusingly as he didn"t understand. They had settled on a date and time with Cloth Co., so why isn"t there anyone here to greet them?
*Ding
Just as he thought this, an elevator in front of them chimes like the music inside the place. Liu Shan looks at the elevator and watches as the doors slide open.
A middle-aged man wearing a burgundy suit steps out into view. The mustache above his mouth was as thin as a strand of yarn and curled ever so lightly at the ends. His eyebrows were as sharp as his eyes and gave him a sinister look.
Liu Shan stares at the man and he struggles a hard gulp. He couldn"t help but take a small step to stand behind his boss and whispers to her.
"Boss, are we really at the right place?"
He felt a small chill crawl down the back of his spine and all the hair on his body stood on ends.
"Why is Jafar from Aladdin here and walking towards us?"
"…"
Yue Ling kept her cool but inside she was dumbfounded by her a.s.sistant. She looks at the middle-aged man and was almost unable to contain herself from laughing at the mention of the cartoon character.
She slightly turns her head to Liu Shan with eyes focusing on the man and whispers back.
"He"s not Jafar, he doesn"t have the beard."
"..."
Her quiet voice fell jokingly and Liu Shan was turned dumbfounded. She ignores him and clears her throat before walking over to meet the middle-aged man.
"Oh my, I apologize for not greeting you on time. I was on my way to welcome you, but you already came inside."
The middle-aged man spoke with a wide smile on his face when he saw Yue Ling and Liu Shan. He also throws in a chuckle and playfully pats his chest as he slightly bows his head.
Yue Ling was struck speechless by his smile but knowing how to stay calm, she smiles politely to him.
"We arrived not too long ago since the scheduled meeting with Cloth Co. is at 10."
Her words fell with a soft chuckle and she introduces herself.
"We are from De L"amour. I am Han Yue Ling, and this is my a.s.sistant, Liu Shan."
The middle-aged man nods his head in understanding and kept his eyes on Yue Ling like he was looking at her with interest. However, that look in his eyes only lasted for a quick second.
"Miss Han, I am Manager He. Please follow me to the meeting room."
He turns around and walks back towards the elevator as Yue Ling casually follows.
Behind the two people, Liu Shan kept pace with them, but he was stuck in his own world. The image of Manager He"s smiling face was replaying in his mind as the man looked so evil and sinister.
He s.h.i.+vers at the thought of the middle-aged man"s face and rubs the side of his arms like a cold breeze had brushed past him.
"If I have a nightmare tonight, I know who to blame."
