Chapter 44: 044 Oops, fluttering heart or heart attack? (2nd update) Chapter 44: 044 Oops, fluttering heart or heart attack? (2nd update) The assistant, worried that her boss might go too far in his antics and genuinely upset the person, potentially ruining the cooperation, gently reminded him:

“If we’re really going to work with them, we should be careful…”

“Do you think I’m someone who lacks such discretion?” he asked, rubbing his brow.

Coming to Pingjiang on impulse the night before, he regretted it while staying in the rest area.

If they were to really work together in the future, they would certainly have to interact more, and if the power remained in the hands of the other party, they would be very passive.

Since he had already arrived, might as well take the opportunity to set them straight.

“I heard that the teacher responsible for the Cyan Feather is a woman…” the assistant whispered as a reminder.

Meaning: It’s a woman, so take it easy.

He just chuckled, “Don’t worry, even if it were a man, I wouldn’t lay a hand on him.”

Assistant: “…”

As they were speaking, a knock was heard, along with Manager Chen’s voice: “Qi Zeyan, we’re coming in.”

Manager Chen, worrying that it might be inappropriate to just walk in, knocked on the door first.

When the door opened, Manager Chen very politely let Tang Wan enter first, and the person sitting inside immediately stood up. Seeing Tang Wan, his eyes slightly narrowed.

“Qi Zeyan, let me introduce you, this is the teacher responsible for the Cyan Feather, Ms. Tang,” Manager Chen said with a smile.

“Hello, I’m Tang Wan,” she extended her hand.

“Qi Zeyan.”

Belonging to the Beijing Qi Family, an old-school family from Sijiu City that was incredibly powerful in the early days of the nation’s founding and even now held a significant reputation. In Beijing, just mentioning an acquaintance from the Qi Family was a matter that added to one’s social status.

Tang Wan took a calm measure of him:

The most distinctive feature was probably his eyes, upturned at the corners but not in a frivolous way, instead, they conveyed a sense of haughtiness.

A crisp suit and a neatly parted hairstyle, the typical attire of the wealthy youth.

Elite, elegant.

Tang Wan raised an eyebrow. In daily life, few people styled their hair slicked back because without careful attention, it made one look overly greasy.

All this for a simple meal? Was there a need to sport such a meticulous hairstyle?

Their handshake was brief, a matter of courtesy, fleeting.
