Chapter 26

Xie Lian's seated in the meeting room... directly opposite the chairperson who hasn't arrived yet, he sat there calm, composed, expressionless and indifferent.

Has Hua Cheng seen him yet? He's been on the hot search for 3 weeks now, even someone who doesn't pay attention to online gossip just has to pay attention to it whether they want to or not.

As he's thinking about this, the door to the meeting room is pushed open and a dashing young man who seems to be in his early twenties strides in.

Xie Lian lifts his head to see the person who enters only to be left dumbstruck, awestruck, speechless, stunned, you name it.

The person in his eyes is wearing a conspicuous Red suit with glorious and exquisite patterns, it's like he has "guess my favorite color" written on his face. but the strange thing is that the Crimson Red accentuates his handsome features to a terrifying degree, it's like the color red was made for him and him alone.

Xie Lian couldn't help but swoon just by looking at him...he had to force himself not to stare too much at this stranger that looks familiar but distant at the same time, after all he already has someone else in his heart. Now he understands why this enterprise is named "Crimson Rain sought flower" it fits the owner so well.

Xie Lian himself is wearing a white suit, the design is not like he's going to a wedding...oh no, it was custom designed by Shi Qingxuan, since Shi Qingxuan knows that Xie Lian loves white, he stayed up for weeks racking his brain to come up with a design that's exquisite, yet not too flashy as Xie Lian doesn't like things that are too showy. Until finally, he designed this masterpiece, the subtle yet intricate fabric, the smooth yet sturdy patterns, the way it hugs his body, giving him a youthful energy... only two words can describe it, 'NO WORDS. '

Xie Lian widens then narrows his eyes slightly, 'who is that?, he feels f-familiar.'

The young man takes his seat, looks at everyone present, when his eyes lock with Xie Lian's, they both forcibly look away.

After Introducing himself as the CEO of this enterprise, even those that attend the meeting but always come across his proxy were shocked!, their eyeballs wanted to fall out of their sockets.

You could almost hear them exclaiming 'another youngster!?' In their hearts.

Feeling that the mood was wrong, Xie Lian turns his head subtly to look at the others seated.

'why do the others look so shocked? Oh! Wait! I remember!,' he abruptly looks at Hua Cheng, 'he never revealed himself this whole time! So he also never used to attend the meetings in person?'

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but beat fast as he thought of a question.

'could it be that he attended personally because of me? To... give me face?'

'Why are you thinking about that?! Who cares anyway!, Just shut up! He's not your San Lang! He's Hua Cheng!, so get your head out of the gutter!.. '

'but San Lang is just a nickname I gave him when we were young, he has every right to change it if he doesn't like it.... '

'wait what are you thinking?, that doesn't change anything! it's not him!'

'but how would you know? He was just a black shimmering silhouette at the time, you couldn't even see his face or skin color let alone his voice, so don't be quick to deny things like a lunatic, every guy who has similar features to San lang is a suspect in our detective search!, So it's ok to check him out, in fact study his face and body figure to check for similarities!'

This heated mental debate was stopped by a deep, languid and sexy voice.

Only then did Xie Lian realize how hot and sexy his voice was, he couldn't help but frown slightly.....

'is it because I miss San lang so much that my brain is playing tricks with me?.'

He doesn't know if it's true or not, so for now, he's not going to think about it. Work comes first, besides, this person might not be the one he's looking for, better not to get his hopes up.....

After the relevant procedures, the meeting was called to order.
