Chapter 2084 - 683: Have Him Contact Me (3)
...
In the next hour or so.
Meng Ran forcibly restrained all her personal thoughts and anxiety.
Accompanied Qian Weiguo and his group to inspect the operation of offline stores, introducing the latest achievements of the "Hema X Membership Store."
She also answered the questions posed by the leaders from a professional perspective.
The entire process was flawless, impeccable.
Until finally sending all the leaders respectfully into their cars, watching those black Audi A6L cars slowly disappear into the traffic.
Meng Ran felt a sense of melancholy.
She looked at her immediate superior beside her.
In the end, she still didn’t bring up her resignation.
Better to wait a little longer.
See if there’s any other chance to contact Director Qian again, to deepen the connection.
After all, she had painstakingly built this connection today.
If it were to break just because of her resignation, it would be such a pity for Glimmer Coffee, which is still in a predicament.
Besides, tomorrow is the brand private event of "First Finance."
Attending with her status as a senior executive from [Hema Fresh] region undoubtedly carries more weight, and can also better help Xie Shuyu turn the situation around.
After all, those attending tomorrow are not just dairy giants and supply chain bigwigs from the Southwest region.
But also partners from several top financial tech companies from Imperial City and Shanghai.
That is truly a high-end event in every sense of the word.
Just when she was in a state of turmoil.
"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone suddenly vibrated.
[Yu]
The phone finally rang, and on the screen, it was [Yu].
Meng Ran quickly walked to the corner, pressed the answer button, her voice filled with uncontrollable urgency: "Hello?! Xie Shuyu! Where did you go?! Not answering calls, not replying on WhatsApp, I thought you were kidnapped!"
A deep voice of Xie Shuyu came from the receiver: "Sorry, Ranran, my phone has been on silent mode."
"You!" Meng Ran was exasperated, "Then where are you now?"
"Just arrived at the flagship store of Glimmer Coffee at Yintai Center."
Meng Ran felt a rush of frustration, "Oh my! My dear! Director Qian and his team just left two minutes ago!"
On the other end of the line, there was a long silence.
"...I’m sorry, Ranran."
Hearing her apology filled with fatigue and regret, all of Meng Ran’s anger instantly turned into helplessness.
She sighed, softened her tone, and said, "Forget it, things are already like this. I’m at the B Tower side of Yintai Center now, don’t move, I’ll come find you."
"Okay."
Xie Shuyu’s voice was very light, evidently she was very downcast.
Meng Ran paused, then asked, "By the way, have you told Tang Song about this?"
"Not yet. I mainly came to the flagship store tonight to have dinner with him, and also discuss the Southwest region supply chain matters. After all, he is now a major shareholder of the company, and procedurally, it also requires his approval."
"Alright, I got it, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Ran briefed a colleague beside her.
She picked up her bag and left.
Made a turn and walked through the mall’s internal corridor.
Quickly she saw that familiar sign.
Pushing the door open, she scanned around and spotted her best friend sitting alone at the window booth.
"Ranran, you’re here."
Meng Ran walked over and plopped down on the seat next to her.
She said, not without irritation: "Miss Xie, I’m really impressed by you. Such a good opportunity, and you just let it slip by! I was so anxious I almost wet myself!"
"I know, it was indeed my fault today."
Xie Shuyu lowered her head, her voice without any defense.
The entire day today, she was immersed in a long-lost sense of relaxation and joy.
The hustle of Kuanzhai Alley, the covered-bowl tea in People’s Park, the candied haws in Jinli, the light rain and embraces under the poplars at Sichuan University...
Those tender moments made her feel as if she had stepped into a completely different life.
Especially after she silenced her phone, she really hadn’t thought about anything.
Forgot work, forgot worries, simply engrossed in the nourishment and warmth of love.
But in the end, reality still had to be faced.
As Meng Ran said, she indeed missed out on a great opportunity.
Regret, anxiety, self-reproach, and helplessness surged into her heart like a tide.
For someone who has always regarded career as the highest pursuit in life, this blow seemed particularly heavy.
Seeing her best friend’s dejected look, all of Meng Ran’s anger completely dissipated.
She softly comforted, "Forget it, missed is missed. There might be more opportunities in the future. Besides, I also got Director Qian’s office contact, there’ll always be a way."
"Mm." Xie Shuyu sighed.
Meng Ran glanced around, asked, "Where’s Tang Song?"
"Over there."
Meng Ran looked in the direction her best friend pointed, and was slightly taken aback.
Not far away, at the bar counter, Tang Song was standing behind the counter, personally making coffee.
He was wearing a simple white shirt, the sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows, his well-defined arms looking especially clean under the light.
Focused expression, elegant movements, pleasant to the eye.
The soft lighting cast over him.
He exuded a strong ascetic aura.
Meng Ran smacked her lips.
Okay, this damn charm.
If it were her, with such an extraordinary boyfriend.
Forget about work, she might even forget her own name.
It’s undeniable that her best friend really has it good!
Then, she lowered her voice, tentatively asked, "Yu, how do you plan to handle that thing this morning?"
Xie Shuyu’s brow barely moved a little, "Ranran, don’t worry about it, and don’t speak of it lightly. I never intended to get married, you should know that."
