Chapter 20: Second Meeting

gue within the department. This will take some time." 。“The research department is careful about their work. If it was someone from their department who leaked this information, then there will be a n...He probably hadn't expected there to be outsiders in the conference room, seeing Director Xiao and Shu Tinglan and others, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked,

"Are you in a meeting"

"You finished early Aren't you returning to China next week Why are you back so soon" Wang Yan asked, getting up and walking towards the door before turning around.

"Mr. Xiao, I apologize, we will contact you again."

"Okay, go ahead."

Although I truly wanted to visit Zhuo Y uan, he had just returned to the country. Clearly, now was not a good time for a visit.

Upon seeing Zhuo Yu'an, Shu Tinglan's heart was utterly calm, as indifferent as to a stranger. Looking back, she felt fortunate that Zhuo Yu'an treated her the same way, not even sparing her a glance just now. It would be best if this remained so, for Director Xiao had rarely taken the trouble to personally involve her in projects, and she did not want to miss this opportunity to learn.

Wang Yan's assistant escorted them to the elevator, which was a bit crowded. It seemed that Zhuo Yu'an had returned and was gathering the research department employees for a meeting.

As they stepped into the elevator, Zhou Ming whispered, “Zuo Yuyan is even more handsome than in his photos. He’s truly a young and promising talent.”

Back at Hong Zheng Law Firm, Shu Tinglan began to organize the information she had gathered at Zhuo Yuan Technology today, as well as related industry information. When she finished organizing the materials, it was already 10 pm when she returned home.

Her home was in a typical suburban residential area on the outskirts of the city. The housing prices in Mori Prefecture were astounding, and this two-bedroom apartment was what her mother had bought with all her savings. She had refused to take it, but her mother said, "This is the last thing I can do for you in my lifetime."

The elevator's upward numbers flickered continuously. She leaned against the elevator wall, and for some reason, she suddenly thought of what her mother had said. Her mind was a little hazy, so she didn't notice until she got out of the elevator and reached her doorstep that a tall figure stood there.

She paused, the motion-sensor light in the hallway flickered on and off.

"Mr. Zhu"

He appeared at her home for some reason, and seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. Zhuo Yu'an also looked in her direction, idly turning his phone in his hand without saying a word, just staring at her.

Shu Tinglan felt a little flustered being stared at, clutching the keys in her hand and hesitating whether to go forward. Given his attitude during their last video call and at Zuo Yuan Technology today, she couldn't understand why he suddenly appeared at her doorstep.

"Aren't you going home" said Zhu Yu'an.

"Okay," she said, then took the key and opened the door, but didn't intend to invite him in. She stood in the doorway and asked...

"Mr. Zhuo, is something the matter"

She was serious and solemn, Zhuo Yu'an suddenly laughed.

"Are you mad at me"

As if struck by an arrow, Shu Tinglan stiffened her spine slightly and stood straight, gazing back at him. However, due to their height difference, her presence seemed much weaker.

Zuo Yu'an raised his hand to ruffle her hair and suddenly said:

"Unfriend me on WeChat"

What

Shu Tinglan was slightly taken aback before remembering that at Qi Ning's powder shop, she had deleted his WeChat. So, he deliberately blocked her at the doorstep tonight because she deleted him on WeChat

I haven't added you on WeChat, how could I have deleted it

She was playing dumb; after all, who knew those three letters were him

Okay, now let's add this, hand me your phone.

Zuo Yu'an showed her his WeChat QR code, while Shu Tinglan reluctantly took out her phone to scan it. Seeing the name, she pretended to be surprised.

"So this is your account"

"Well"

Zuo Yu'an casually changed his WeChat name from a pinyin abbreviation to: Zuo Yu'an.

He felt a twinge of guilt about deleting him, so when he knocked she politely invited him in. To her surprise, Zhuo Yu'an naturally stepped into her house but stood frozen in the middle of the living room. while. She has been promoting her TV series in other places, and he often travels for work or to shoot movies. Tonight was a rare occasion that both of them returned to Senzhou, and with Lu Yaoyao ha...
