Chapter 560 A twist of fate

Although Director Chen said he wasn't afraid of them meeting at all.

When the time actually came, he couldn't help but get nervous.

Thinking that Sweetie would arrive a little earlier, I called her first.

Busy!

Although he guessed that Professor Lu Man must have gotten there first, Chen's heart was already racing because he hadn't learned the specifics immediately.

Sensibly, they seem even more anxious than about the lawsuit they are facing.

Gu Shengtong and the other deputy director had already entered the small private room in the cafeteria. Chen Zhe found a secluded spot and called cosplayer again.

At first, they didn't catch any fish.

But she quickly recovered.

"Hello, Director Chen~"

Yu Xuan addressed him affectionately, "We've landed! I was just about to text you. Are you done with your work over there?"

"Um...we're still discussing it."

Chen swallowed hard. At this moment, he certainly couldn't ask directly, "Did you see anyone familiar?" Instead, he had to investigate slowly.

Where are you in the airport?

Chen asked with a smile.

His fingers were unconsciously digging into the wall, a sign of intense concentration, but there wasn't a trace of panic in his voice.

"It should be Terminal 2."

Yu Baibai looked around for a while and said, "I see a T2 sign over there."

Which exit?

Chen continued to ask.

"what?"

The straightforward Xianmei asked curiously, "Aren't you in Hong Kong? Don't you have time to answer?"

"It's precisely because I don't have time that I need to know your exact route so I can feel at ease."

Director Chen calmly replied, "After you get into the taxi, you need to tell me the license plate number."

This reason is not only perfect, but it also shows the boyfriend's considerate and caring side.

Sure enough, now the cosplay girl didn't feel it was abrupt anymore.

But she had just stepped out of the channel and hadn't yet decided which exit to take when a soldier from the Hong Kong Liaison Office called her again: "President Chen, Director Gu is calling you for dinner. Everyone is waiting for you."

Chen could only ask the cosplayer to send him the route.

"Excuse me, something came up."

Chen politely apologized to the orderly.

The orderly thought it was normal; these important people were always very busy, taking several phone calls during a single meal.

But what's strange is why this person keeps picking at the wall?
They even carved a small recessed notch in the wall.

……

After returning to the private room, Chen met several new leaders.

In 2008, many company canteens had private rooms to accommodate business entertainment needs.

The newly arrived leaders include those from Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, tourism groups, and China Merchants Group.

Of course, none of them were the top leader, and some weren't even the second-in-command. They were just there to have a meal and make friends with Chen.

Although Chen Zhe had something on his mind, it did not prevent him from winning the favor of these officials with his humble words, forthright style, and gentle personality.

There was no other way; Director Chen was one of those people who came from that group.

"President Chen is no ordinary person."

Even Deputy Director Gu couldn't help but comment: "Despite having a huge weight pressing down on his head, he can still chat with everyone with ease. This kind of temperament and magnanimity deserves him to achieve even greater things."

"Director Gu is too kind."

Chen blurted out, "I was indeed quite nervous in Guangzhou, but after meeting Director Gu in Hong Kong, even though we only chatted for a couple of minutes, I suddenly felt less worried. Now Director Gu has also brought over President Zhang, General Manager Hu, and Director Liu. With so many powerful figures backing me up, why shouldn't I be able to take this job?"

"Yes, that's the kind of spirit we should have!"

"Fuck those damn British!"

"Although Mr. Chen is young, his temperament suits my taste very well. He is disciplined here. When I get back to Guangzhou, I will definitely have a drink with Mr. Chen!"

……

These people have the air of military officers when they speak. In fact, many leaders of overseas agencies are all-round talents in both civil and military affairs.

However, since it was just a work lunch and no one was drinking, the atmosphere remained lively but not noisy.

"Buzz~"

As Zhang Zhiming, deputy director of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, was talking to Chen Zhe, Chen Zhe's phone suddenly vibrated.

Chen glanced at it and said to President Zhang, "I have something to do, I'm going to take this call."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

President Zhang said understandingly, "I just thought of a good solution, I'll tell you when I get back."

Chen picked up his phone, walked back to his original spot, and his fingernails began to pick at the small dent again, as was his habit.

"I was just on the phone with my mom."

Sweet's gentle voice came through the receiver; it was indeed Professor Lu.

Is Professor Lu coming to pick you up?

Chen thought to himself that if someone answered, the cosplay sister's excuse would no longer be valid.

However, the young veteran leader values ​​quick reactions.

Chen smiled and said, "Baiyun Airport has a very complicated layout. Be careful not to pick up the wrong person. Are you in Terminal 1 or Terminal 2? Remember to tell Professor Lu clearly." "I know."

Sweetie said obediently.

"cough……"

Having failed to elicit a response, Chen coughed awkwardly.

But we can't keep asking, otherwise the purpose will be too obvious.

"I'm having dinner with some leaders right now, and the matter hasn't been resolved yet..."

So, Chen slowed down a bit and started talking about things in Hong Kong.

Song Shiwei listened and helped to come up with solutions.

However, with so many leaders at a loss, even if Sweet Sister has a keen eye for investment, she couldn't possibly have a better solution.

"never mind."

Chen took a deep breath and said, "Let's think about it again tonight. If it really doesn't work, we'll just have to deal with it in court... Hey, why haven't we seen Professor Lu yet after talking for so long? Where are you now, TI or T2? Haven't you left yet?"

This expression of "concern" is very cunning; it's a "surprise attack" interspersed within the normal narrative.

Sweetie herself wasn't on guard, and naturally replied, "I'm in Terminal 2. She said she'd wait for me at Gate 6."

Hearing "T2" again, Chen unconsciously dug his fingers a little harder.

But there was nothing they could do; almost all domestic arrivals at Baiyun Airport were in Terminal 2, and their arrival times were roughly the same.

It's now almost certain that Song Shiwei and Yu Xuan are on the same floor, enjoying the same central air conditioning, and may even have stepped in each other's footprints.

Just then, my phone rang.

Chen guessed that it must be a "roadmap" sent by the cosplay sister.

"Then you should go see Professor Lu first. Remember to let me know if anything comes up."

Chen's throat was dry, and he couldn't wait to know which exit the cosplayer had left through.

After hanging up the phone, I quickly opened the message bar.

Yu Xuan: Director Chen, we're going out of Exit 27 of Terminal 2 to hail a taxi.

"27?"

When Chen saw the number, the anxiety that had been gripping him suddenly subsided as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Gate 6 and Gate 27 aren't that far apart; you could just take out your phone and make a call, and by the time the other person answers, you'd already arrived.

However, the probability of them meeting has indeed decreased significantly.

"Whoo~"

Chen adjusted his breathing and, for the first time tonight, walked back to the private room in the cafeteria with normal steps.

"Ok?"

He was suddenly puzzled. Why was there a small pebble in his palm out of nowhere?

When did I pick it up?
As soon as I sat down back in my seat, Vice President Zhang Zhiming leaned over and whispered:
"I just thought about it. Since winning or losing the lawsuit doesn't matter, the main thing is to have a crushing presence. From our perspective as journalists, why not publish our stories first?"

"Ahead of them?"

Chen's expression hardened.

"correct."

Zhang Zhiming said, "We'll take the initiative and strike before they file a lawsuit. But you'd better come up with something that will shock the whole country or even the world."

Is there any retrospective approach?

Zhang Zhiming asked.

"This one……"

After pondering for a while, Chen said, "It's possible."

……

At Baiyun Airport, Yu Xuan was helping Professor Guan get to the taxi stand to hail a taxi.

Song Shiwei also met Professor Lu, and the two of them, mother and daughter, prepared to go to the parking lot.

We were supposed to just miss each other like that.

However, Yu Xuan received a phone call.

Yu Xiaoliang's.

"Xianmei'er".

Old Yu asked loudly, "Have you left the airport yet?"

"Out."

Yu Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"I'm 5 minutes away from the airport parking lot."

Yu Xiaoliang said happily, "I tried calling you earlier but the line was busy. I'll come pick you up."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I almost got into a taxi!"

"Xuanmei said in an annoyed tone."

"I sent you a message, but you didn't see it, and the line was busy when I called..."

Old Yu said, feeling wronged.

"Alright, alright, we'll go to the parking lot and wait for you now."

As if by a twist of fate, Xianmei, who was at Gate 27, suddenly changed direction and headed straight for Gate 6.

At the same time, he took out his phone and called Director Chen to tell him that the route had been changed.
