Chapter Seventy-Nine: Utterly Insincere

  "Huh? So soon?" Chu Yan was somewhat surprised by Ye Lu's voice. It had only been a few hours, after all! When did efficiency become so high?

  "Chu Ge, the clinic was about to close when I went there and it didn't take much effort to negotiate. The price is very cheap, 500,000 yuan, including three years of rent and equipment. This price should be the old man's limit." Wild Donkey said with a hint of pride in his voice, this kid is most skilled at doing such things, obviously this price was obtained after he went through a series of maneuvers.

  "It's settled, listen up, get in touch with all the doctors and interns who used to work at the clinic, the day after tomorrow the clinic will reopen for business, I'll make an appearance then, that's it, you hurry up and take care of it." Chu Yan hung up the phone and turned around to see Jiang Xiaoran's happy smile "It's all settled, the clinic will reopen the day after tomorrow, you can go back to work there again."

  "Awesome! Thanks, big brother! I knew you're the best!" Jiang Xiaoran had been feeling guilty in her heart and hadn't dared to call her best friend Wang MiaoMiao for two days. Speaking of Wang MiaoMiao, Jiang Xiaoran also found it a bit strange that she had disappeared for almost a week, didn't go to work at the clinic, didn't answer phone calls, let alone initiate contact with herself.

  "Alright, help big brother pick vegetables, stir-fry and cook to offer sacrifices to the five internal organs." Chu Yan said, rolling up his sleeves and getting started, while Jiang Xiao Ran on the side was also skillfully washing fresh celery.

  After finishing a meal, it was almost two thirty in the afternoon. Looking at Jiang Xiaoran who was rubbing his belly and lying on the sofa, Chu Yan's heart was filled with serenity mixed with relief. The two of them chatted and laughed together until Chu Yan's phone rang again.

  "Come to Silver Palm this afternoon, the decoration company has finished designing the plan and we need to meet up. Also, prepare yourself for the next two days, I'll take you on a trip to Japan." Mo Xiuyao's voice seemed to have not been heard for several days, and to be honest, Chu Yan still had some lingering affection for this voice. As for Mo Xiuyao, she was also somewhat disappointed that Chu Yan didn't proactively contact her to ask her out for dinner or a movie. In Mo Xiuyao's heart, Chu Yan was simply her nemesis.

  Ever since the first time she met Chu Yan, until now, there has almost never been a moment when she had the upper hand. What made her even more helpless was that her life had been saved by Chu Yan several times in a short period of time, which made Mo Xiuyao feel both grateful and resentful towards him.

  "OK, I'll be there in about half an hour, see you then." Chu Yan said and hung up the phone without waiting for Mo Xiuyao's response. He stood up and bid farewell to Jiang Xiaoran. As for Mo Xiuyao on the other end of the phone, she was left listening to the dial tone with a helpless expression on her face, thinking "Can't this man have some gentlemanly demeanor?"

  Silver Palm Coffee House, Mo Xi Yao's figure was sitting in the third-floor office, dealing with some important events recently. The reaction of Yama Corporation in Japan made her somewhat puzzled. Under her strong manipulation, Yama Corporation, which originally had a market value of nearly 30 billion yen, had shrunk to only 10 billion yen. In theory, people from Yama Corporation should have made some big moves, but so far, except for normal operations, there were no signs of any major actions.

  Mo Xiuyao also received an important message last night, that two Koreans went to Japan and met with the board members of Yama Corporation. Immediately after, Mo Xiuyao received an invitation from Japan. The two Koreans who went to Japan were none other than Mirror Frame Man, who had been taken advantage of in China, and Taekwondo Master Park Jian-dong.

  So upon receiving the invitation, Mo Xiuyao immediately thought that this invitation was definitely a trap. And as soon as she thought that she might be in danger, the first person Mo Xiuyao thought of wasn't those bodyguards hired at great expense, but rather the man who had been giving her headaches, Chu Yan.

  It just so happened that the decoration company's design plan was already out, and they wanted to meet with Mo Xiuyao and Chu Yan. So, Mo Xiuyao took this opportunity to call Chu Yan, and apart from discussing the design plan, she also gave him a heads up in advance, after all, hadn't he promised her?

  "Hello, Manager Mo." Putting down the work in his hand, at the door of Mo Xiuyao's office, stood two young people, a man and a woman. The man was Wang Han, the design director of Wan Jia Decoration Company, holding a laptop computer, and the woman was Li Jing, the chief designer of Wan Jia Decoration, hugging an 8K-sized file folder.

  "You've arrived, please come in, sit down, Tina, two cups of coffee." Wang Han and Li Jing sat in the rest area of Mo Xi Yao's office, Wang Han opened his laptop, while Li Jing placed the large file folder on the tea table "Thank you."

  For Mo Xiuyao's self-arranged coffee, the two people did not have any objections. After all, Mo Xiuyao was their client and also a big one. So even though Li Jing never drank coffee, she still smiled and said thank you.

  "You two wait for a moment, my friend will arrive soon. In that case, I'll take a look at the design plan for Villa A first, and as for Villa B, let's wait until my friend arrives to take a look." Mo Xiuyao sat down beside Wang Han, who quickly opened his computer and played out the design plan - a dynamic video that started from the entrance of the villa and went through all the indoor spaces before returning to the starting point. The whole process took about five minutes.

  Every time a point of space design is reached in the video, Wang Han will pause the video and then state his own design concept and the materials adopted and recommended by the scheme.

  It has to be said that Wang Han is very professional, at least in the interior decoration industry, he is absolutely top-notch. Maybe he is not good at speaking in other aspects, but his aura when stating design plans makes Mo Xiuyao nod frequently, and his confident and professional standards make Wang Han's impression score double.

  The villa suite was the one that Wang Han designed, and Mo Xi Yao liked it at first sight. She had to admire Wang Han's design concept and creativity, which quickly grasped the key points through a brief conversation with Mo Xi Yao and then carried out the radiating design concept, finally coming up with a very beautiful plan.

  "Not bad, except for a few minor details that need to be adjusted, the rest is fine. You're very professional, thanks for your hard work." Mo Xiuyao finished reading the plan and clearly pointed out several places that needed to be adjusted, then smiled and nodded at Wang Han.

  Mo Xiuyao likes to interact with professional people, and Wang Han and Li Jing can also feel the temperament and aura that Mo Xiuyao possesses. Even in their two strongest fields, they will still feel some subtle pressure when facing Mo Xiuyao. This is a kind of feeling that cannot be described by physical means.

  "Director Mo, Mr. Chu is here." Just in time, Tina's voice sounded from outside the door. Chu Yan's figure directly pushed open the door without even knocking, and Mo Xiuyao's face turned cold as soon as she saw him. However, out of courtesy to their guests Wang Han and Li Jing, Mo Xiuyao was the first to speak up.

  "Go take a look at the plan, I've seen Jenny's plan and it's not bad. You take a look yourself." Mo Xiuyao said as she sat back in her leather chair, her eyes fixed on the computer screen without blinking, no longer paying attention to Chu Yan. Chu Yan could sense that this little girl seemed to have some resentment towards him, but it didn't matter, he would deal with it later. First, let's take a look at the plan and then talk about it.

  "Chu Ge, your plan is the one I designed. Here's the effect diagram of the design plan." Li Jing said as she opened a folder and took out a stack of completely hand-painted colored design drafts.

  Chu Yan gave a thumbs up to the young girl named Li Jing as soon as he saw this design draft. This hand-painted rendering, whether in terms of lines, colors, or design concept and thinking, was completely perfect. There were no signs of any changes on the drawing paper, which means that the girl's painting skills and grasp of perspective had a master-level flair.

  Mo Xiuyao likes to deal with professionals, and Chu Yan is the same, but the starting points of the two people are different. Mo Xiuyao looks at comprehensive professional quality, while Chu Yan only looks at one point, that is, specialization!

  Once something is done with expertise and precision, it becomes a master of the industry. This is why a special forces team can produce so many specialized members.

  "The plan is not bad, but there are a few places that need to be adjusted...” Chu Yan also made some adjustments, and Li Jing and Wang Han's eyes coincidentally turned to Mo Xiuyao after Chu Yan finished speaking, because the parts that Chu Yan proposed to modify were surprisingly similar to Mo Xiuyao.

  "OK, the revision of the design plan is up to you two now. Let's schedule another time." As Chu Yan also finished revising the plan, Mo Xiuyao stood up from the side. Wang Han and Li Jing put away the plan, turned around with a smile, and left. For them, getting the client's approval was the greatest success. They believed that the next meeting would move on to the substantial stage, so they didn't say much and politely bid farewell before leaving.

  "Are you going to Japan?" After seeing off Wang Han, Li Jing came over to Mo Xiuyao and sat down in the chair across from her, asking softly.

  "Yes, there's an official invitation, can't not go." Mo Xiuyao nodded, although she was still hesitant about whether to go or not, because it could be confirmed that this invitation, although officially from Japan, would absolutely have the manipulation of Yama Corporation behind it.

  "Alright, I'll go with you. By the way, I've booked a new Western restaurant that's supposed to be good. I'll pick you up tonight, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Chu Yan nodded and left after saying this, while Mo Xiuyao was about to get burned by anger at this moment. How could this man be so rude? Can't he even make a proper invitation to dinner? Put some thought into it?

  Mo Xiuyao's mind was filled with wild and fanciful thoughts, unaware that Chu Yan's attitude was completely a mimicry of hers, leaving no room for opposition or choice, which had always been Mo Xiuyao's trademark.

  Left Yinzong Palm Chu Yan drove to Xiangya Mountain, and the car had just arrived at the highway entrance when it was stopped by a traffic police officer. "There's been an accident ahead, the road is temporarily closed."

  At the same time, his mobile phone rang too.

  "Dead glass, come and save me!!"
