Chapter 54 Sheep in the Tiger’s Den

Luo Tao was not there when Mo Yan returned home. Looking at the time, it was already too late to prepare dinner.

Although she had verbally agreed to go with Zhou Shuai, Mo Yan was still reluctant.

Zhou Shuai did not seem to be faking his weak appearance when he was talking to her in the day. Furthermore, it was impossible for his injuries to have healed so quickly. What could he possibly do to her in his condition?

Gathering her courage, Mo Yan hurriedly changed her clothes, left a note, and left.

She took a taxi to the hotel that Zhou Shuai told her to meet him at. After meeting up with him, Mo Yan maintained a long distance from Zhou Shuai.

Although she was certain that Zhou Shuai couldn’t do anything to her in his current state, when she thought about the dirty thoughts he had towards her, Mo Yan still felt uncomfortable.

Not long after, the door of a private dining room in the Chinese restaurant was pushed open by two foreigners.

Mo Yan let out a long sigh of relief. She braced herself and communicated with the two of them in fluent English. Mo Yan was very fluent in English and had perfect pronunciation. This was also the reason why Zhou Shuai had chosen to bring Mo Yan along besides her beauty.

As the clients’ company was a multinational business, the order that they wanted to place was nowhere near small. A few more days of discussion and negotiation was needed before the deal could be sealed.

Singh Hotel was a very famous hotel in the city. Their Chinese food was very popular as well. Since the clients were staying in another hotel, After their dinner, Mo Yan followed Zhou Shuai to send them to the door.

Before they left, a man praised Mo Yan to Zhou Shuai, and the affirmation from the client made Mo Yan Smile. However, what Mo Yan didn’t notice was that when the man shook hands with Zhou Shuai, he stuffed a different business card into Zhou Shuai’s hand.

Qin Yuan, who had come downstairs to eat saw a familiar figure and followed her quietly.

“Damn! It’s really Mo Yan!” Qin Yuan cursed in a low voice.

“Why is she dressed so nicely? A date? No, the person next to her seems a little familiar!”

Qin Yuan took out his phone and dialed a number without looking at it.

“Hey, Huo Zhen, your wife is going to elope with someone!”

“What?” Luo Tao, who was reading the note Mo Yan left for him, frowned.

Qin Yuan was not afraid to tease him further. “I see Mo Yan standing with a man! Oh my, there are three men.”

Luo Tao replied, “Shut up, she’s going to talk about business. Qin Yuan, if you have nothing better to do, would you like me to call Uncle to give you something to do?”

“No, no, Brother Huo, I was just joking. Why did you have to take me seriously?” Qin Yuan smiled cheekily to remedy himself. “Brother Huo, how did you know that Mo Yan was here to talk about business?” “She left…”

“Damn! The one standing next to Mo Yan is Zhou Shuai!”

“Zhou Shuai?” Luo Tao asked back.

Qin Yuan quickly said, “The one who flirted with Mo Yan and got beaten up by me! How dare he still talk to her! Fuck, I’m getting upset!”

Luo Tao interrupted Qin Yuan’s chattering, “You don’t have to do anything. Send me the address.”

“Brother Huo, are you coming over? Like Romeo saving his damsel in distress? I say…”

Before Qin Yuan could finish, a familiar annoyed tone came from the phone.

After sending the clients away, Mo Yan wanted to go straight home. However, Zhou Shuai told her to immediately work on the clients’ request.

After some hesitation, Mo Yan went back to the private dining room with him. She opened the door and sat on the seat closest to the door.

“Mo Yan! Do you remember all the requests they made?”

“I do,” Mo Yan replied casually as she was concentrating on writing down things.

Zhou Shuai, who was sitting across from Mo Yan, picked up his wine glass and took a big gulp. His gaze lingered on Mo Yan’s chest. Without anyone else present, his gaze on Mo Yan became even more impudent.

“You’ve been in the company for quite some time now. How do you feel about the company?”

Mo Yan did not want to bother with him, but Zhou Shuai’s constant gaze made her very uncomfortable. She had no choice but to entertain his question.

“It’s alright.”

“You’re lucky. You’ve only been with the company for a short while and you can already work on projects alone. Sigh, it’s really hard to earn money these days…”

Zhou Shuai rambled on and on. Mo Yan picked up her fruit juice and took a sip. She relaxed her mind and immersed herself in her work, fully ignoring Zhou Shuai.

After another ten minutes, Mo Yan was done.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ear.

“Mo Yan.”

Mo Yan stood up abruptly and retreated, wanting to run away, but Zhou Shuai closed the door.

Looking at Zhou Shuai who was sitting next to her, Mo Yan calmed herself down and said, “Supervisor Zhou, my work is done. You can take a look,” Mo Yan said to Zhou Shuai.

She slowly retreated, wanting to retreat to the door and open it to escape.

Unfortunately, why would Zhou Shuai let her go now? He had been waiting for tonight.

Zhou Shuai got up and approached Mo Yan step by step. Mo Yan was also retreating towards the door.

Mo Yan pushed the door, but it did not open.

“Stop struggling. I have already locked the door.”
