Jiang Ning couldn't be bothered to talk to these two anymore. If this topic went on, it might go right off tangent. He waved his hands and sent them right out of the office.
Fei just kept shaking his head as he walked back to Xiaozhao's table. She was handing over her ongoing projects to another colleague with great seriousness and detail, as if she was afraid of missing something out.
When she saw that Fei was back, Xiaozhao looked up and a look of surprise flashed across her face.
"You're back?" "Uh huh." Fei sat on the chair, leaned heavily against it, then turned his head to look at Xiaozhao.

Xiaozhao scoffed and her expression darkened when she heard Fei's nasty tone of voice. "I didn't want you to go along either!" Fei actually didn't argue with her and just slapped his thigh before standing up. "Once we're out there, there will be many unknown situations and dangers, and it'll be very different from being in Lin Group." He walked over to Xiaozhao and frowned slightly. The serious look on his face made Xiaozhao not dare to say anything. She looked up and their eyes met, and she beceven more nervous.
"When we're over there, stay close to me, don't simply run off by yourself, I'll protect you." With that, Fei spun around in a charismatic fashion and sauntered out coolly.
Xiaozhao was rooted to her chair and the pen in her hand had fallen to the floor but she was still in a daze.
'Xiaozhao?" Her colleague called her a few times before she snapped out of her daze. "AH! What did you say? That's all the work I have on hand now, that's all!" Her heart was beating so quickly, as if it was going to leap right out from her chest. Did her heart have to react so violently to just one sentence? But that look in Fei's eyes earlier...
Xiaozhao felt like her head was a complete mess. Normally, she bullied Fei because she had Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen behind her, so she didn't have to worry about anything. But now, she suddenly felt like Fei had just been letting her bully him all this while.
Otherwise, there was no way she could have bullied him at all! The next day.
Fei and the team went over to Korea first. The details of the partnership had to be ironed out in Lee Group's head office in Korea, while Jiang Ning was going to wait for any reaction in Korea over the next few days first.
On the plane, Fei leaned back in his seat and just fell asleep, while Xiaozhao was still working on her laptop. She was researching as much as she could on Lee Group in order to prepare for the discussion ahead.
She knew that things wouldn't go smoothly in Korea for sure, but since Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen entrusted her with this mission, she couldn't disappoint them nor her other colleagues in the company. The plane touched down in Korea's capital city, Seoul.
The team walked out of the airport and Xiaozhao's phone started ringing. She immediately frowned after taking the call.

"What? Not free? Aren't you the one who's in charge of picking us up? But you're not free?" Xiaozhao's short om temper immediately rose, but she NO tried her best to keep it down. "Sure, thanks for letting us know." She hung up and looked at Fei. "The person from Lee Group who's supposed to pick us up isn't coming, he says he's not free." Fei frowned slightly.
This was basic courtesy and this was something that was arranged beforehand. But now, the person in charge didn't turn up and just said that he wasn't free. Of course that wasn't the real reason. Lee Group was clearly trying to assert their authority over Lin Group.
He looked at the team and knew that this was their first tin this city.
They weren't familiar with the place 15 with the place nor the language, and even if there was a translator around, they still might not be comfortable. "No. problem, we'll settle it ourselves then," said Fei. "I'm familiar with Seoul." His calm voice immediately helped Xiaozhao to calm down as well.
Fei called a cab very naturally and told the driver where they were going, as if he had lived here for a long time. Xiaozhao was rather surprised by him. What did this fellow go through?
