Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Mind the Image
"What if they don't divorce?" Han Jun was somewhat speechless.
"If they don't divorce, then they don't," Han Mengting shrugged, unconcerned.
"Your attitude isn't right, could it be that you want to be his mistress?" Han Jun eyed his niece with suspicion.
"Uncle, what are you thinking? I'm the secretary of the board of directors at Penguin Group, how could I possibly be someone's mistress?" Han Mengting was at a loss for words.
Liking someone is one thing, but she would certainly never be a mistress to someone else.
She was an executive at Penguin Group, not just any ordinary young girl.
Even if she had the mentality of a young girl in matters of the heart, it was still impossible for her to do that kind of thing.
"It's not a good thing to keep pining for someone who's married," Han Jun frowned deeply.
This really wasn't good at all, who knew if his niece might do something outrageous.
He had to figure out a way to make his niece give up on this once and for all.
"Uncle, don't worry about my affairs, I will handle them myself," Han Mengting said.
"I don't think you can handle it well. Liking a married man is very dangerous, I advise you to give up this idea sooner rather than later and find the one who truly belongs to you," Han Jun said seriously.
"Uncle, I know. I came to Jiangcheng this time thinking of meeting Xu Yang. If I could meet his wife as well, that would be even better. I could then see for myself what their marriage is like. If their relationship is good, I won't think about him anymore, but if it's not, perhaps I have a chance. Of course, I won't do anything, I'm just waiting for him to make a decision.
What do you think of my approach?" Han Mengting explained.
"That could work, it might make you completely lose interest. Otherwise, you'll always harbor illusions. But if you're going to meet him, I have to be there," Han Jun said.
"Sure, I'd want someone to come with me even if you weren't there. How about this: once we acquire Sheng Da Literature, you can call and invite him and his wife out for a meal. During the meal, it will be easy to see the state of their relationship," Han Mengting suggested.
"Okay," Han Jun thought about it and felt there was no issue.
As they spoke, they arrived at the parking lot in front of the Sheng Da Literature building.
After getting out of the car, they saw several people coming out of the building.
"Is that Wang Xiaocong?"
"Is that Xu Yang?!"
Seeing Wang Xiaocong, Han Mengting felt nothing; she had met Wang Xiaocong more than once.
Seeing Xu Yang, however, she was excited, her eyes shining.
Just now, she was talking with her uncle about Xu Yang and about inviting him and his wife to dinner.
She hadn't expected to see Xu Yang himself here.
It seemed she and Xu Yang were quite fated after all.
Speaking of which, even though Xu Yang wasn't the very handsome type, he truly fit her aesthetic.
She liked this kind of sunny boy.
Ah, her heart was racing, and she was starting to lose control.
"Watch your image, you're about to drool," Han Jun was somewhat speechless.
It was just Xu Yang, was there a need to get this excited?
"Oh, I did get a bit carried away." Hearing her uncle's words, Han Mengting snapped back to reality and realized that she had indeed lost her composure.
How embarrassing, her colleagues were watching.
She wondered what her colleagues would think.
Turning to look, she noticed that her colleagues were minding their own business, pretending they hadn't seen anything, which made her feel relieved.
These colleagues were quite considerate.
"Mr. Wang, President Xu," Han Jun greeted the two men proactively.
"Oh, it's President Han, hello," Xu Yang said with a smile.
He didn't have a good impression of Han Jun.
The last time he called, Han Jun had aggressively demanded eight percent of the investment quota in Hui'an Pharmaceuticals.
After Xu Yang refused, the other party had even threatened him.
Luckily, for reasons unknown, no further action was taken.
Even if there were any moves, Xu Yang wasn't afraid.
It was just Penguin, after all.
He had the system and wasn't afraid of any rival.
Even facing a behemoth like Penguin, he regarded it from a lofty perspective, because he was destined to stand atop the world.
However, one does not slap a smiling face, and since the other party took the initiative to greet him, he naturally responded.
Wang Xiaocong simply nodded slightly, not saying much.
Speaking of which, he felt no fondness for this Han Jun.
The guy was Penguin's right-hand man, and over the years, his maneuvers had greatly impacted Wan Da Group, causing his old man to suffer considerable losses.
Han Jun wanted to say more, but Han Mengting beat him to it.
"Mr. Xu, hello, my name is Han Mengting, I'm the Board Secretary of Penguin Group."
Han Mengting stepped forward and extended her hand to Xu Yang, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, sizing him up incessantly, with a look that resembled a big bad wolf eyeing a little lamb.
Xu Yang didn't know what Han Mengting meant, he only noticed something strange and peculiar about her gaze.
Xu Yang had already heard from Qiu Wenyu about Han Jun and his entourage.
This woman named Han Mengting was supposed to become the president of Sheng Da Literature after Penguin successfully acquired it.
However, this appointment was no longer valid for Han Mengting.
Gathering his thoughts, Xu Yang shook hands with Han Mengting, "Hello."
Han Mengting was very excited; this was the man she was smitten with.
My god, to have such contact upon first meeting was simply too blissful.
That smile was really sunshine itself; her little heart could hardly take it.
"Mr. Xu, I..."
Unable to contain her excitement, she wanted to continue the conversation with Xu Yang, to delve into more profound topics.
But she had barely begun speaking when Han Jun interrupted her.
"Secretary Han, please step back, I need to have a word with Mr. Xu," Han Jun said.
"Oh." Han Mengting understood Han Jun's intention, feeling somewhat displeased but obediently stepped back two paces.
She stepped back, yet her enchanting eyes remained on Xu Yang, shining brightly.
"Mr. Xu, if Secretary Han has offended you just now, please forgive us," Han Jun said.
"Not at all, Mr. Han is too polite," Xu Yang replied with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, may I ask what brings you and the young Wang here..." Han Jun inquired doubtfully.
"The same as you," Xu Yang replied with a smile.
"You're also here to acquire Sheng Da Literature?" Han Jun was taken aback, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, we are very optimistic about the development of Sheng Da Literature," Xu Yang nodded.
"How are the negotiations going?" Han Jun asked.
"Heh, you'll find out soon enough. We'll be leaving now, goodbye," Xu Yang chuckled, leading his people away.
Han Mengting wanted to follow and talk to Xu Yang, but Han Jun stopped her.
"Mind your image, this is a public place. You are the Board Secretary of Penguin Group; everything you do represents Penguin Group," Han Jun said sternly.
"Alright," Han Mengting gave in, reluctantly watching Xu Yang get into the car and drive away.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan carrying Xu Yang had vanished from sight, yet her gaze had not wavered.
"Cough cough!" Han Jun, somewhat at a loss for words, had to remind his niece to be mindful again.
"Ah... Mr. Han, I was just lost in thought for a moment. Let's go up for the negotiations now. Since Yang Xin Investment and Wang Xiaocong are involved, we need to speed up the negotiations. Let's secure Sheng Da Literature today."
Han Mengting snapped back to reality, swiftly adjusting her mindset and demeanor, quickly regaining the image of a powerful woman.
"Yes, we need to finalize the deal with Sheng Da Literature today to prevent any complications," Han Jun nodded and led his group into Sheng Da Literature.
He hadn't considered the possibility that Xu Yang had already successfully negotiated.
After all, it was only the first day of negotiations for Yang Xin Investment. Find your next read on m_v l|e'm-p| y r
In his view, it was impossible to negotiate successfully so quickly; it usually took at least a few rounds of talks.
That's the standard procedure.
