37 -37 Wu Qiuyan’s Appointment_1

Bai Xiaosheng arrived as promised and easily located the Island Cafe on Tianbei Street.

This chain store, with its tropical decor, was a favorite among petty bourgeoisie and couples, so it was not hard to find.

Bai Xiaosheng strolled into the shop and immediately spotted Wu Qiuyan sitting by the window.

Wu Qiuyan also saw him and waved to signal him over.

As Bai Xiaosheng walked over, he was surprised to find that today’s Wu Qiuyan looked different.

She wasn’t wearing her professional attire but was instead dressed in sportswear.

The top was white with red trim, and she was wearing bright red sweatpants with a pair of tiny, snow-white sneakers.

Her posture was graceful.

Bai Xiaosheng noticed the zipper of Wu Qiuyan’s jacket pressed at the chest, slightly revealing a glimpse of pale skin and contour.

Coupled with her current sporty and healthy aura, she seemed far more charming than the Wu Qiuyan he knew before.

Even Bai Xiaosheng thought she was quite a sight to behold.

“What would you like to drink?

The mocha here is pretty good,” Wu Qiuyan suggested with a smile as Bai Xiaosheng sat down.

Perhaps it was her habit of being assertive, but her suggestion still carried a hint of the tenacity typical of a strong woman.

However, combined with her mature demeanor, it somehow incited a desire to conquer in men.

“I’m easy; since the leader recommends it, I’ll have a mocha.

Oh, and also, give me a portion of…

no, both tiramisu and cheesecake,” Bai Xiaosheng told the waiter.

He was still hungry.

“Leader, would you like a portion?”

Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile.

“No need,” Wu Qiuyan responded, returning the smile.

Today’s Wu Qiuyan was amiable and often smiling, a far cry from her usual icy demeanor at the company.

After placing their order, the waiter turned and left.

“Leader, what made you think of inviting me for coffee?

Is it to commend me for bringing glory to the department at the conference?” Bai Xiaosheng said unabashedly.

As Wu Qiuyan was approachable, Bai Xiaosheng naturally didn’t feel the need to be solemn and reserved.

Both his demeanor and tone were relaxed and casual.

It seemed that both parties were hoping for a harmonious communication.

Talking to smart people was always relaxing.

Wu Qiuyan smiled knowingly.

“Don’t call me leader; this isn’t the company, and we are not talking about work.

Can’t we use a more casual address?” Wu Qiuyan suggested.

“Sure,” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, “Can I call you Yan then?”

Compared to Wu Qiuyan, Bai Xiaosheng was somewhat younger.

Wu Qiuyan nodded her head at this nickname, indicating her approval.

“This place seems nice.

Do you come here often?”

“I’ll come and sit for a while after a run when I have free time.”

“Haha, a healthy lifestyle.”

The two chatted casually, deliberately avoiding any mention of their recent conflicts.

Actually, Bai Xiaosheng was personally placed on the project by Shang Wenshu, inevitably branded with that affiliation, while Wu Qiuyan was aligned with Li Mingtong and Wang Ye.

Wu Qiuyan’s initial difficulties were more about the issue than the person since the two didn’t know each other before and certainly had no grievances.

Wu Qiuyan tried to extend an olive branch, hoping to make Bai Xiaosheng understand this.

However, she soon realized that Bai Xiaosheng seemed utterly indifferent to her previous antagonism.

This young man had a heart as broad as the sea!

Wu Qiuyan couldn’t help but praise him inwardly and her fondness for Bai Xiaosheng grew.

Of course, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t care; he was even grateful for Wu Qiuyan’s difficulties.

Those challenges had made him a tidy profit – not just dozens of points, but also 200,000 in cash!

The two were chatting.

The waiter brought over the coffee, along with two plates containing tiramisu and cheesecake.

“I won’t hold back then.”

Bai Xiaosheng picked up a plate and began to eat heartily.

He was genuinely a bit hungry, not to mention lunch, he hadn’t even had breakfast and had done heavy physical work all morning.

“Take it easy, you can have more if it’s not enough,” Wu Qiuyan said with a chuckle, kindly reminding Bai Xiaosheng, who was gobbling down his food.

He was clearly just a big boy.

Wu Qiuyan watched him with a smile, feeling a bit sentimental.

It was hard to imagine that Bai Xiaosheng, who had spoken eloquently, logically, and meticulously at the conference, exuding a bold self-confidence, also had this side to him.

Wu Qiuyan watched him.

This Bai Xiaosheng, in fact, was really hard to dislike.

Wu Qiuyan didn’t have any personal grudges against Bai Xiaosheng.

As a workaholic, she had even felt a sense of admiration for him when he dazzled the crowd, and now she found his current state quite amusing.

“The reason I asked you out this time was actually just for a casual chat.

You’ve been on the project for a few days now, how do you feel about it?

Are you getting along well with Wang and the others?”

Even if she felt okay about Bai Xiaosheng, Wu Qiuyan still hadn’t forgotten the purpose of this trip, as she tried to steer the conversation toward the intended topic.

“Not bad, everyone’s quite nice.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Wu Qiuyan, “Sister Yan is good too, and very beautiful.”

“Flatterer,” Wu Qiuyan couldn’t help but laugh and scold him.

Hearing such a handsome young man compliment her actually made Wu Qiuyan feel quite flattered.

Incredibly, it had been a long time since Wu Qiuyan had received a compliment from someone.

Li Mingtong was keen on power and feared its impact, becoming increasingly distant and cold toward her.

People in the company saw only a decisive, competent, and overbearing career woman.

Due to her relationship with Li Mingtong, they didn’t even dare to joke with her.

Wu Qiuyan was a woman too, she wanted to be appreciated, not to admire herself in solitude.

Bai Xiaosheng was different; from the moment he came in, he would size her up and appreciate her, his gaze natural and undisguised.

Wu Qiuyan really liked this feeling, and her fondness for Bai Xiaosheng subconsciously increased along with it.

“Have you encountered any difficulties in work or life recently?” Wu Qiuyan said with a smile, “Since you just arrived, you might have realized, our project…”

“Sister Yan, is work the only thing you talk about?” Bai Xiaosheng burst into laughter, interrupting Wu Qiuyan and asked smilingly, “I thought you would try to trap me with something else.”

Wu Qiuyan was startled.

Indeed, she was obsessed with work, and unconsciously brought it up again.

“Other topics?” Wu Qiuyan suddenly realized that she wasn’t good at other subjects.

Also, Bai Xiaosheng’s choice of words was peculiar.

Setting a trap?

It was as if he had been waiting for Wu Qiuyan to make a move all along.

Wu Qiuyan suddenly discovered that this sunny big boy was actually very cunning!

“Let’s talk about you, your daily life, your preferences, the person you like.” Bai Xiaosheng lifted his head, his eyes playful, “Let’s talk about Mr.

Li.”

Wu Qiuyan’s smile froze.

Bai Xiaosheng’s sudden directness caught her off guard, piercing right to the heart with just a few words, throwing Wu Qiuyan’s rhythm into disarray.

Wu Qiuyan’s brows furrowed slightly, as she slowly set down her cup of coffee.

“How about we talk about me instead?” Bai Xiaosheng seemed not to notice Wu Qiuyan’s expression, continuing with a smile.

“For instance, let’s discuss my relationship with Shang Wenshu, and what my real motives are for coming to this project!”
