While lamenting how canceling the meeting would be impossible by now, he took out his phone and wrote on his notepad to not only consider demoting, but firing that negligent assistant.
Maybe it would be a good idea to not contact this restaurant anymore in the future too.
He might be sounding unfair and bad, but for a host only seeking to finish a mission, entangling with the villainess didn't sound nice for him.
Also, that secretary knew he was still going to talk business with somebody. So what was with this?
He, unfortunately, didn't understand.
Bored, he took a seat at the prepared table and glanced at his wristwatch.
'A minute to go. Will she be like other women who love making their dates wait before making a pointlessly dramatic grand entrance?'
To his amazement, just when he finished asking that question to himself, the woman whose appearance became polar distance away from her previous look appeared and sat down opposite him.
"I'm not late."
Jiang Li stared at her clean face almost bare from makeup apart from the mascara and lipgloss. This was Xie Na? She did change, huh?
Although he didn't stand up, he was still gentleman enough to extend a hand and reintroduce himself, "Jiang Li of Jiang Corporation."
Xie Na, the gothic woman of the yesteryears, looked at the smooth palm laid before her.
She then stared at the face of this senior of hers.
Really as handsome as she first saw him. As expected, there was a reason why that faker woman Cao Hua liked this guy before.
His face was simply the reason why he was recognized as the Adonis of Jasper City.
'But he's known too for being a very excellent businessman in the country. Hmm.'
She fell into deep thoughts, carefully recalling every information she gathered about this person. It became a habit for her.
A year of betrayal and trials from her friends and studies were enough to change her. Actually, she did not really change, but wake up.
Now the Xie Na of today could at least sport a polite smile while accepting his handshake after pondering over the best way to proceed with this meeting.
'Simply be cautious with words and rewrite the surely bad impression I initially left to him.'
"I'm Xie Na. Good evening, senior Jiang. You're now a very famous alumni of our university."
The man in front of her did not show any change in his expression. He was also the first to release his hand from the handshake.
When he did, she felt relieved. The man before her was seriously giving her some pressure.
She wondered how she dared to think of sabotaging this person before when they were still in college.

What guts did she have back then?
'An ego boosted maliciously by your 'best friend', what else?' she bitterly thought.
Jiang Li perfunctorily asked what she wanted to order and then after settling the matter with the food and drinks, he directly uttered what he wanted to say.
"Which offer do you plan to accept?"
'Huh?'
Xie Na gave her a weird look, not expecting for him to ask this right off the bat. She cleared her throat and replied,
"Mr. Jiang. I didn't know this is how you approach business."
Jiang Li acted as though he did not do anything out of the norm.
"Time is money. So I have to be direct."
"Alright. I understand. But I have to be direct too. I am still deciding which place to go."
Jiang Li nonchalantly looked away, replying,
"You seem to have sobered up from college. I believe you also remember what you did to me back then. I didn't accept that apology."
Xie Na gulped, that scene played in her mind.
It was where a girl with damnably heavy makeup and black lipstick ambushed the campus heartthrob then said her sorry in a manner akin to rapping a line in a song, before walking away immediately.
Jiang Li threw her a sideway glance, his fingers started to rhythmically tap on the smooth wooden surface.
His face changed from indifference to showing a faint smile, the sharp glint of mockery was so cleverly hidden that Xie Na only thought of it as a sign of danger.
He said, "I actually remembered incorrectly."
The man paused because the food had just arrived.
They first let the waiter lay down everything.
Then Xie Na did her best to appear as relaxed as she could, like she would be swayed by anything, before asking,
"... What?"
He indifferently looked at her.
"You didn't really give me a chance to say anything, did you? In other words, I was not even able to say my rejection of it. So now you owe me two..."
The second she finished digesting his meaning, Xie Na promptly smelled hardships coming her way...
