My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady

Chapter 898 - 719: Liking You Since the First Glance 60_2

Listening to the two chatting and walking away, Jian Dan’s heart tightened, feeling very uneasy. She then made a call to Secretary Zhou.

Receiving a call from Jian Dan, Secretary Zhou was quite surprised and quickly answered, "Little Miss, are you looking for Mr. Bo?"

"No," Jian Dan said, "Secretary Zhou, where is Uncle Qin now? Are you with him?"

Secretary Zhou replied, "No, there’s been a lot going on here recently, I couldn’t get away. Mr. Bo went to Fengcheng by himself. He should still be on a business trip there now. Why, is something wrong?"

"No, nothing. Just asking. Thank you, Secretary Zhou. I’ll give Uncle Qin a call."

"Alright."

Secretary Zhou stared at the hung-up call, feeling a bit suspicious. Something seemed off about Jian Dan’s tone just now, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.

With piles of work at hand, he steadied his mind and called Meng Xue over to help. It’s really been especially busy lately. Even with all the staff in the secretary’s office working, it’s still like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water.

It felt like it had no effect at all.

Moreover, the plans for other company acquisition cases were also in preparation. The more trivial matters stacked up, the more exhausting it became.

Shaking his head, Secretary Zhou put this matter behind him.

Jian Dan hurriedly caught up to the two, quickly squeezing into the elevator. The two of them inexplicably glanced at Jian Dan, who smiled apologetically, offering an apology.

"Sorry, I’m really sorry, it wasn’t intentional."

The two sneered, not hiding the disdain in their eyes. One of them said, "Be careful, my clothes are expensive. I’m worried you can’t afford to pay if you damage them."

Jian Dan continued to apologize, "Yes, yes, it’s all my fault."

The other one glanced at Jian Dan, seeing she seemed young, nudged her partner, "Let it go, she’s probably a part-time worker from the nearby university. Don’t be like that."

The other woman then dropped the matter.

They resumed their lively chat, "Which private room did Pei Rong book?"

"I don’t know, let me check."

The woman who had initially criticized Jian Dan took out her phone to find it and quickly came up with an address, saying to her companion, "It’s in the restaurant on the rooftop."

"Isn’t it strange? Isn’t Mr. Bo supposed to be the hardest to meet with?"

"What of it? Pei Rong naturally has her ways. She wouldn’t worry about Mr. Bo not showing up."

"Does it have to do with acquiring the land here in Fengcheng?"

"Not entirely related. Mr. Bo has some ties with the elder of the Pei Family. As long as the elder approves of his granddaughter, do you think Mr. Bo wouldn’t give some face?"

"Wow, doesn’t the elder worry about awkwardness when seeing people in the future?"

"What’s the big deal? Once it’s a done deal, even if Mr. Bo isn’t willing, he’ll still take responsibility."

The tall, thin woman shook her head, "Will there be love in such a marriage?"

"Does Pei Rong care about such things as love?" the slightly shorter woman sneered, not sure who she was mocking, "What Pei Rong cares about is the position of the Young Madam of the Bo Family."

They almost entirely disregarded Jian Dan, prattling on about whatever. Jian Dan wasn’t really worried about Bo Qin, but considering they were on someone else’s turf, it was a concern.

She worried Bo Qin might be schemed against and end up being regretfully disadvantaged.

After all, being shackled by others isn’t a very pleasant experience.

The two exited the elevator on the top floor, and Jian Dan followed suit.

The tall, thin woman frowned, "Are you from here?"

Jian Dan waved her hands, "No, no, I’m here to have afternoon tea, and a friend is coming to meet me."

The two exchanged a glance, suspicious. The shorter woman mocked, "Don’t you know, the hotel’s top floor has been booked by the Pei Family’s eldest daughter today? No outside guests?"

Jian Dan was taken aback, adjusted her expression, and looked at them questioningly, "Really? I had no idea. I came from another city to hang out with a friend. She said the view of Fengcheng here is particularly good, so I didn’t ask much."

Their expressions softened slightly, evidently not wanting to cause trouble. The short woman looked at Jian Dan, "What a pity, you should come back tomorrow. It’s not possible today."

The tall, thin woman nodded, "Yes, besides here, there are other floors around where you can enjoy the view."

Jian Dan nodded, apologetically looking at them, "Thank you, sorry about that."

The two waved it off indifferently, "No worries, just find a place you can go, it’s not suitable to be here right now."

With that, they walked away arm-in-arm as someone approached the door to greet them.

After exchanging pleasantries with the two, the newcomer looked at Jian Dan’s back, "Who’s that?"

The two women shook their heads and explained the situation. The girl who came to greet them chuckled, "I see, thank you both for taking care of the trouble for us."
