Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 371 Impulse

In other words, the reason why BK Group was hosting this meeting was to get along with the big groups and expand the opportunity and channel of future cooperation. If they kept arguing here, they were simply ignoring the purpose of BK Group. Sometimes, even out of commercial courtesy, people would have to give face to each other.

However, today's matter was not so easy to end. Just as Mr. Hu was about to order the staff meeting to continue, Xuanze suddenly said, "Why don't we stop here this morning? I have an appointment." Hank's face immediately sank. "We haven't finished talking yet. Where is Mr. Evans going?"

"This is my personal matter. It is not convenient to tell Mr. Barnwell. However, I believe that Mr. Barnwell will know soon."

After Xuanze finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Hu. The staff next to him stepped forward and said a few words. Mr. Hu nodded and said, "Alright, everyone is tired too. That's it in the morning." After he finished speaking, the staff announced, "Please go to the restaurant to eat. The rest of the procedures will be carried out in the afternoon." It was also a good thing to give the two presidents some time to calm down. However, Mr. Hu looked at Xuanze's back and asked, "Have you heard that Mr. Evans has friends here?" "I haven't heard of them," the staff shook his head. Xuanze walked around the crowd and went straight to Lyra. "Miss Jones, we can go now." His voice was neither light nor heavy, and there was an extremely gentle smile on his face. It was very different from his usual calm and steady self. Just the gentleman's graceful actions alone made the surrounding girls dizzy. At this time, Su Yuan, who was standing behind Lyra, was one of the closest girls to him. She could clearly feel the charm emitted by Xuanze. No one could stop him! Su Yuan even felt her heart beat a little faster, even if these words were not meant for her. As a result, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Lyra, waiting for her answer. "Okay, let's go."

The two of them left side by side. The moment they walked out of the door, Keith looked at his boss. "Mr. Barnwell, are we going to the restaurant?" "Go." The man turned his head.

He stepped out and saw the parking lot outside the restaurant on the first floor. Lyra, Xuanze, and his daughter were in the same car and left happily. "Keith, give me your phone." Hank gritted his teeth and anger had overridden all his rationality. Keith was stunned at first, and then obediently handed over his phone.

Hank opened the chat page and sent a message to Lyra in Keith's tone. "Ms. Jones, if you have time tonight, can we talk about the follow-up cooperation after the meeting?"

Even if the two companies were in a competitive relationship in the future, they could still cooperate. According to the current situation, Xuanze's company could be considered to be in a competitive relationship with the Jones Group. Why did they... Lyra quickly replied. "Thank you for your kindness. There's no need." Keith personally saw Hank's face darken.

After all, this was a public occasion. Keith was worried that the matter would blow up. He stepped forward and whispered, "Mr. Barnwell, there will definitely be a chance to cooperate with the Jones Group in the future." He could understand his intentions very well, but the other party had refused to accept it and they could not force her too much. "Keith, what do you think the problem is?" He suddenly turned his head and asked. He stood up and walked towards the elevator. "Forget it." Keith looked in the direction of the parking lot again, shook his head, and sighed. The next few days should be very difficult. The restaurant that Xuanze chose was a distance away from the hotel. It was a family restaurant with a children's playground. The owner of the restaurant was a local old couple. The steak they made was very authentic. As soon as they entered, they were warmly brought to the round table by the window.

They also prepared dessert for Ni'er. Ni'er happily clapped her small hands, chatting softly with Lyra for a while, and then pointing to the sea in the distance, giggling.

Seeing his daughter so happy, Xuanze looked at Lyra again, focused and serious, as if he was thinking about something. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Lyra touched her face and looked doubtful. "No, the scenery by the sea is good, but I..." Xuanze was about to say something when his phone rang. "Sorry." "It doesn't matter," Lyra said, shaking her head. As she said this, Ni'er grabbed her hand again and whispered to her. Xuanze picked up his phone and pressed the answer button. "I think she's sleepy too. Let's go back to the hotel." When he returned from the call, Lyra and Ni'er had almost finished eating. She also wanted to sort out the records of the meeting. Although because of the relationship between Xuanze and Hank, she did not learn anything substantial. "Miss Jones, just let the driver send Ni'er back. I want to talk to you alone." Xuanze's expression was unprecedentedly serious.

"But..."

"Will she be okay to be left alone?" Lyra asked as she looked at Ni'er, who was about to fall asleep. "I'll get the auntie to wait at the entrance of the hotel." As he spoke, his gaze darkened. Lyra nodded. After Ni'er got into the car, the two of them turned around and headed toward the beach. Layers of waves rolled over: The boundary between the sea and the sky was intertwined. Although it was noon, the sunlight was very soft. Lyra had just had a full meal, and now she was looking at such beautiful scenery. She was in a really good mood. "Miss Jones, there isn't much time. I will just say it directly." Xuanze turned around and faced her. "In the next few years, do you have any plans to get married?" "What?" Lyra almost suspected that it was because she needed to take a lunch break that she was hallucinating. "Sorry, I don't want to scare you, but..." He tightened his grip on his phone.

In the hotel. Hank had been keeping an eye on the movements in the parking lot. Soon, he received news that Xuanze's driver had sent his daughter back, but neither he nor Lyra had returned to the hotel. At that moment, it was hard to describe Hank's feelings.

If not for his remaining rationality, he would have definitely driven over. Twenty minutes later, Lyra and Xuanze returned to the hotel. Just as they arrived at the lobby, Hank blocked Lyra's path. His fiery and deep gaze rested on her. "What have you all done?" he asked. Lyra ignored him and did not say a word. She bypassed him and entered the elevator. Then, Xuanze came in from outside the door with an unreadable expression. "You have already divorced. It is not appropriate for Mr. Barnwell to be so aggressive."

"That is between me and her." With a face full of anger, Hank followed him into the elevator. In the hall, Xuanze stood there for a long time. He slowly lowered his head and smiled bitterly. "Sometimes people are already left out of the game before they can do anything."
