There was a moment of silence on the other side. Dongfang Liuyun seemed to be able to hear the sound of water being poured. A moment later, Lan Xiu’s voice came from the other end—

“Is tomorrow convenient? Come to the company. I’m afraid it won’t work with Mr. Ge.”

You could hear that there was a heaviness in Lan Xiu’s tone. Dongfang Liuyun heard it and immediately frowned. He said coldly, “It won’t work? How can that be? Didn’t you say that you were almost done? Mr. Ge seems to be arriving in City Z in the next few days. Can we talk to him? This matter has already been decided. Why did he suddenly change his mind?”

Dongfang Liuyun was a little confused. He thought for a moment and said, “Is it because of Fujiwara’s end? Mr. Ge has some relationship with the Fujiwara family. If Fujiwara wants to…”

“Liuyun! It has nothing to do with Ah Ye. In fact, he wasn’t very familiar with Mr. Ge. Don’t make any guesses yet. The details aren’t clear yet. If you’re free, come to the company tomorrow. I’ll be here for the whole day tomorrow, you can come to my office directly. Remember to bring the materials from before. Besides this Mr. Ge, we might need to make other plans.”

Lan Xiu said helplessly.

“What are we going to do? Because of Mr. Ge’s project, you, me, and everyone have put in a lot of effort. If it wasn’t for some reason, why would Mr. Ge suddenly change his mind? Besides, we were the best partners at that time. There must be a reason for him to do this. I don’t want to give up just like that.”

As Dongfang Liuyun said this, he couldn’t help but hold his forehead and take a deep breath. “How about this? Go and check on Mr. Ge, see if anything happened. This matter still needs to be resolved. I’ll go over tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’m sorry to disturb you.”

There was some apology in Lan Xiu’s voice on the other end.

“It’s okay. It’s not appropriate for me to just let you do this. Alright, don’t worry too much. Everything will be fine when it’s time. It’s quite late. You should rest early.”

“Okay, good night.”

As Lan Xiu said this, Dongfang Liuyun hung up as well.

“What trouble did you run into?”

Hearing the voice suddenly quieten down, Qi Lei asked indifferently. Dongfang Liuyun quickly snapped back to her senses and looked towards the source of the voice. Only then did she realize that Qi Lei was standing by the bookshelf at the side, leisurely tending to the orchids in the flower pot.

“It’s nothing much. Previously, I did a relatively large project with Lan Xiu. I’ve been the second largest shareholder in Lan Xiu’s company all these years. This project was highly recommended by me, and I’ve always been in charge of it. Now that I’ve returned to Dongfang Group, I’ve handed the project over to Lan Xiu. Originally, the matter had already been discussed, but the partner changed their mind at the last minute. Previously, everyone invested so much effort to not be stuck here.”

Dongfang Liuyun was a little puzzled.

“Stuck? Which company? Didn’t you investigate the credibility of the other party before working together?”

Qi Lei took a wet towel to wipe his hands as he asked.

“The profit of this project is huge. Many people are rushing to do it. It’s my fault for not considering it thoroughly back then. I should have investigated all the potential problems first. That way, it wouldn’t be so strenuous. I can’t let Lan Xiu suffer such a huge loss. I don’t mind it myself.”

Dongfang Liuyun felt a headache coming on and sighed.

Qi Lei heard her tone being a little disappointed, so he turned to look at her silently. Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, he advised, “This is how business matters are. Don’t be anxious. Find the problem and solve it.”

“I know, but many things are harder when it comes to execution. I didn’t think too much about it before, and I just thought that this project was pretty good. So… I didn’t think too much about it. Just treat it as giving myself some experience. Being at a disadvantage now means that I can make sure I don’t fall in the same place in the future. I won’t allow myself to feel lucky anymore.”

Dongfang Liuyun could only console herself this way.

“I’ve always admired your optimistic att.i.tude.”

Qi Lei was not stingy with his praise.

Dongfang Liuyun, on the other hand, smiled cheerfully, “When you’re frustrated, forcing yourself to think this way will make you feel much better. Sometimes, people need to hypnotize themselves and brainwash themselves. The att.i.tude is very important during this journey, and I haven’t always been like this.”

“I still remember the song we heard when you brought me to that small plaza. In fact, I’ve been there many times myself since then. Every time I feel bad, I’ll feel much better afterwards.”

Qi Lei smiled faintly.

Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him when she heard this. “I thought people like you wouldn’t care. After all, you didn’t give people the impression that you were that kind of person.”

“Nonsense. I, Qi Lei, am also a quiet and beautiful man.”

Qi Lei looked at her with disapproval. Dongfang Liuyun chuckled when he heard her explanation. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed his shoulder. “Let me see. Which part of you has the aura of a quiet and beautiful man?”

“It’s all over you.”

He glanced at her and said.

Dongfang Liuyun laughed even louder. She raised her hand and touched Qi Lei’s handsome face. “You’re quite good like this. Being a quiet and beautiful man doesn’t necessarily make you attractive and charming.”

“Then, do you think I’m more outstanding or Lan Xiu? You’re quite nice towards Lan Xiu.”

After thinking about it, Qi Lei still asked this question.

“Lan Xiu?”

At the mention of Lan Xiu, Dongfang Liuyun could not help but raise her hand to rub the s.p.a.ce between his brows, “Lan Xiu is naturally very outstanding, but his mentality isn’t that good either. In fact, he’s a somewhat pessimistic person. I’ve told you about his experience before. Even if you are you, you don’t have to compare yourself to anyone. You, Qi Lei, have your strengths, and so does Lan Xiu. To be honest, I really hope that you can become friends with him too.”

Qi Lei smiled when he heard this, but he did not say anything else—

Lan Xiu’s relationship with Fujiwara was extraordinary, so he did not necessarily want to get involved. Moreover, he did not know if he and Lan Xiu were close friends. After all, not every one of them was like him and Mu Yuchen before.

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”

Dongfang Liuyun noticed that his gaze was a little serious, so she asked.

This time, Qi Lei eased up a little and looked at her calmly. “It’s fine. It’s late. Go to bed early.”

Then, he put down the towel in his hand and turned to walk towards the door.

“Qi Lei!”

Dongfang Liuyun frowned and called out to him as she watched his back. He did not answer and his figure quickly disappeared out the door.
