Wenbei Su smiled at me first, then nodded at me and walked towards me.
His smile had a kind of easy charm, which almost loosened my guard against him.
I knew he might be my biggest competitor in the project, but I felt an unspeakable kinship with him. I didn’t know if it was because of his nice disposition and good manners, which made me think he was not a bad person, at least he had no malice towards me
It was a completely inexplicable and baseless judgment, which was based solely on my feeling.
“Mr. Su, are we meeting again so soon?” I nodded at him, actually what I meant was that we were meeting so soon, was he following me?
“I hope I didn’t offend Miss Yao. I just let my men check out the company’s hotel to see if there is a guest named Nala Yao. If there is, I instruct my people to treat you well. I didn’t expect that I casually looked it up and found out that Ms. Yao is staying at my company’s hotel. I also hope you don’t blame me if I offend you.”
What he meant was that the hotel I was staying in was owned by the Su family.
Actually, it was not surprising. Nanhe Corporation is the number one enterprise in Yang City, and it’s usual for them to get involved in the local hotel industry. If I didn’t choose this hotel and chose another one, it would be Su family’s property.
“Mr. Su is trying to find out where I live. I am honored and a little nervous. I wonder why Mr. Su did this.” I said a little crossly.
“On the one hand, I want people below to give Miss Yao the best reception. Miss Yao’s hotel expenses are free of charge. At the top 10 restaurants in Yang City, Miss Yao can get free meals.”
I waved my hand quickly. “Mr. Su, thank you for your kindness. Why would you do that for me? Could you tell me what you want from me?”
“Could you ask Ms Su to chat in the hotel cafe?”
“No, let’s just talk here.” ‘I said coldly.
Wenbei Su hesitated. “Well, I’m sorry to bother Ms Yao. Please sit down over there, Ms Yao.” Then he pointed to the sofa in the hotel lobby.
Xuanlong looked at me and I motioned that I was all right and didn’t need to get me too close.
The Su family was the most famous family in Yang City, He would definitely not attack me in his own hotel. Wenbei Su didn’t even have to show up himself if he wanted to harm me.
I glanced at my watch, “Mr. Su, what do you want to talk to me about? I’ll have a video conference later.”
“Actually, I want to ask where Miss Yao is from.” He asked politely.
“Mr. Su wants to know about me, there is actually no need to ask me. All you have to do is have your men investigate me and you’ll know. ”
Wenbei Su didn’t deny that he could that,” “I’d rather talk to Miss Yao face to face, which would seem more sincere.”
“Before I answer your question, I would like to ask Mr. Su, why are you so interested in where I am from? Is it because I showed up at the launch site of that project, so Mr. Su needs to know me and make sure everything is under control?”
He acted unnaturally, as if my words were a bit direct and he looked a bit embarrassed.
“Well, I am actually interested in Miss Yao. I feel that Miss Yao is my old friend and has the feeling of having once known each other.”
“Well, I am actually interested in Miss Yao. I feel like I have met you before. Your face seems vaguely familiar.”
“You are familiar to me?” I asked.
“Yes.” He replied. His eyes were so sincere that I didn’t think he was lying.
I actually had an interest in this issue because I was an orphan. I never gave up finding where I came from. So when I heard him say he was familiar to me, I still wondered if I knew him before I lost my memory.
“Where did we meet before?” I asked directly.
Wenbei Su thought about it, “I don’t know, maybe… never seen. I was studying in England when I was a child. and then went to America. Did Ms. Yao study there? If you have stayed there, we may just meet abroad.”
“No.” I’m pretty sure of that. I went to high school and college in Hai City, and I never studied abroad.
Some disappointment came out slightly on his face, “Then Miss Yao feels familiar to me?”
In fact, there was a faint voice in my heart that said, Yes, not so much familiarity, but a sense of intimacy.
But when I faced a guy, I certainly couldn’t just say that I felt close to you. I just shook my head, “No, we never met.”
“Sorry to bother you.” He leaned slightly.
“It’s okay. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”
“Miss Yao really grew up in Hai City? You have never been other places?” He continued to pursue the question.
I also hesitated whether I should tell him that I actually had an experience of memory loss at a young age.
But I thought about it and still didn’t tell him. It was impossible for me to have anything to do with a famous family like the Su family. Now this man was my rival, maybe he knows about my memory loss through some channel and wanted to use it to set me up on purpose.
Doing business is like fighting a war. I couldn’t easily trust what people say.
“Yes, I grew up and studied in Hai City. As for America and Britain, I really haven’t been, not once.”
He nodded, “I see, maybe I’m overthinking it.”
After a pause, she continued, “Which part of that municipal project does Miss Su want to do? Or do you want to do it all?”
Sure enough, the topic jumped to business, which was probably his intention to chat with me.
“I’m sorry, I can’t reveal anything that concerns the company’s trade secrets,”
“Miss Yao, for Nanhe Corporation, we have to get this project. This is a project in Yang City and we can’t give it away. So far, we have never lost a bid on a similar project.” Wenbei Su said arrogantly.
“What Mr. Su has said means that I should give up this project because I don’t have any chance.” I asked directly.
“No, if Miss Yao is only doing one part of this project, I can let you do it. And I guarantee that only Miss. Yao succeeded in the bid, the other companies have no chance at all.”
I froze for a moment. Did he mean what he said?
