Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Legendary Figure 4

Zheng Yun walked ahead, respectfully speaking, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Bai Qiyan, and his companion Miss Wan Chu’er have already arrived."

From behind the office desk, Mr. Yan nodded and said, "You can leave now."

Zheng Yun paused for about two seconds before turning around to leave.

Wan Chu’er sensitively felt a trace of disappointment in Zheng Yun. Could it be she really wanted to stay and listen to what they were going to talk about? Or was it because she was unceremoniously sent out by Mr. Yan that she was unhappy?

As she maliciously guessed Zheng Yun’s thoughts, Mr. Yan stood up from behind the office desk, pushed back his large leather chair, and walked out with a steady gait.

It was inconvenient to look in the elevator yesterday, but having a look today, she realized Mr. Yan was very tall, with a pair of long legs that could rival Jiang Ke’s. However, she still thought Jiang Ke’s looked better, more powerful.

"Hello Mr. Bai, Miss Wan. I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Mr. Yan walked up to the two, extending his hand to shake hands with them. Wan Chu’er was stunned by his voice, it was so pleasant to listen to, very magnetic, like the sound of a drum in an empty mountain, comforting and not harsh or aggressive.

Xiao Bai was also visibly astonished by Mr. Yan’s demeanor, voice, and looks, extending his hand somewhat flustered to hastily grasp Mr. Yan’s.

"Hello, Mr. Yan. We are the ones who arrived early."

Mr. Yan smiled, nodding slightly, and then stepped forward to shake hands with Wan Chu’er.

Uh...

This was the first time she encountered such a formal handshake. She squeezed out what she considered an appropriate smile and gently held his hand.

She felt fortunate that she had heeded Xiao Bai’s advice that morning to dress neatly, otherwise, in front of such a gentleman, she might indeed feel embarrassed.

Mr. Yan’s hands were as gentle as his temperament, providing a comforting feeling, unlike Jiang Ke’s hands, which were always hot.

"Hello."

After the greeting, Mr. Yan gestured with his hand for them to sit in the guest area to the side. The three of them sat facing each other, with Wan Chu’er and Xiao Bai on one side and Mr. Yan on the other.

Once seated, he personally picked up the teapot from the table in the middle and poured a cup of tea for both of them.

"This is some black tea given by an elder, just brewed. It’s perfect to drink right now. You two should give it a try."

"You’re too kind, Mr. Yan," Xiao Bai quickly responded with a smile, "Anything served in Mr. Yan’s office is certainly not wrong."

Wan Chu’er blinked her eyes. Oh, Xiao Bai’s flattering manner really was a sight to behold.

"Miss Wan, please have a try as well," Mr. Yan said to Wan Chu’er.

Wan Chu’er calmly expressed her thanks, picked up the delicate teacup, lifted it slowly to her lips, sniffed it first, and then took a sip.

Hmm, the temperature was just right. Had it been brewed just a minute before they entered?

Xiao Bai picked up the teacup, slowly sipped a small mouthful, and finally regained his usual composure, becoming relaxed and confident again.

"I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Yan. It’s truly not easy to get a chance to see you," said Xiao Bai.

Mr. Yan let out a light chuckle, responding, "If there’s anything, any of my managers can make the decision; seeing me is just a waste of time."

Such humility, this must be the very picture of a modest gentleman, Wan Chu’er thought to herself, listening quietly to Xiao Bai and Mr. Yan talking, conscientiously playing the role of an observer there to learn without causing disruption.

Xiao Bai once again complimented him, and the two of them engaged in wide-ranging conversation.

No matter what Xiao Bai said, Mr. Yan was always able to follow up with a few sentences, sounding indeed like a person with insight and ideas, and he wasn’t overbearing either; his words came slowly, making one feel like basking in the spring breeze.

Chuchu listened somewhat puzzled - was this meeting really just for a casual chat? And yet, they arranged to talk in the office? Or could it be that business deals are settled unconsciously?

Or perhaps, as Mr. Yan had mentioned, the matter of collaboration can be discussed with the general manager of his branch company; maybe Xiao Bai was mainly here to broaden his horizons.

She was contemplating quietly to herself when Mr. Yan had already steered the conversation towards her.

"Oh? Miss Wan also studied at the first university? Then it turns out we are alumni; I once studied at the first university for two years."

Chuchu gently caught onto his remark with a light smile, "Mr. Yan is a legendary figure in our school; it’s an honor to meet you today."

She had occasionally heard Lin Yufei gossip about some notable figures from the first university, among which there was indeed a Mr. Yan who finished all the credits required for four years of university in just two years, and then went on to continue further studies on a full scholarship at a top foreign institution.

At the time, she found it quite unbelievable, thinking that there must be some insider story or it was an exaggeration.

Linking this to what Xiao Bai had mentioned, she quickly realized it matched the person in front of her and now, seeing him in person, Chuchu harbored no further doubt.

Mr. Yan gave her a strong impression, and moreover, it was a subdued kind of strength that commanded respect without any other thoughts

After hearing Chuchu’s words, Mr. Yan smiled and said, "Miss Wan is not bad either, I heard that as a freshman, you completed the development of a game on your own."

"Compared to Mr. Yan, that’s just a small matter."

Mr. Yan calmly replied, "Junior sister can call me senior brother; no need to be too polite."

Eh...

Junior sister?

That’s quite familiar, isn’t it?

Chuchu was quite surprised at how naturally Mr. Yan could be so approachably informal, surpassing even Xiao Bai.

She smiled lightly and lifted her teacup to steer away from the topic.

Mr. Yan didn’t mind and asked, "Based on Mr. Bai and Wan’s behavior, it seems like you’re not from Beijing. May I inquire where you two are from?"

He could tell that they were not from Beijing?

Chuchu, because of her past life spent in Beijing, did not have much of her hometown traits in her behavior, and Xiao Bai, coming from a well-off family, was well-cultured and didn’t show it either.

While she was internally amazed, Xiao Bai had already anxiously said, "Mr. Yan has good insight; both Chuchu and I came to Beijing from Wutong County in S province. We are considered cousins."

"Oh, Wutong? That’s a nice name for a place," Mr. Yan praised politely.

Chuchu, however, noticed that when Mr. Yan heard ’Wutong County of S province, his hand tensed slightly, and when he mentioned the name Wutong, the tone in his voice changed subtly.

This was also because Chuchu liked his voice and had been listening carefully, so she noticed the slight difference.

Thinking for a moment, she directly asked, "Mr. Yan seems familiar with Wutong County; could it be that Mr. Yan has friends from there?"

Actually, Wutong is a small county in the north, and apart from people from the region, outsiders usually do not know of this place.

Mr. Yan paused for a moment then said, "I heard about this place from an elder before."

After a few more exchanges, Mr. Yan apologized, "Sorry, I have other plans later on; I enjoyed our conversation today."

That was his way to end the meeting, surprising both Chuchu and Xiao Bai.
