Upon entering Fang Fabrics, the entire place was stocked with all kinds of fabric materials. These weren't just any fabrics, but the best and greatest quality in the world.

However, in all of Imperial, everyone knows that Fang Fabrics is a place that only sells their products to wealthy families and high-end fashion companies.

Employees walk to and from as they proceed with their work. When they saw Secretary Jiang enter through the glass doors with two unfamiliar figures, everyone stops to observe.

"Eh, who are they? They're being personally escorted in by Secretary Jiang.

"

"Are they really from Imperial? Why have I never seen them in the media before?

"

"Shh, I heard someone from the upper floor mention President Fang is meeting with De L'amour today.

"

"De L'amour? Are you sure? Will we have a chance to see Han Yue Ling then?

"

Whispers quickly surface between a group of workers. However, before it could advance any more, another worker joins in.

"What chance? Can't you see that neither of those two people are Han Yue Ling.

"

Hearing these words, the group pout their lips with a disappointed look. Now that they could get a better look at the two people, they realized that they were indeed model like figures, but neither person was the person they were eager to meet.

"Aiya, what a disappointment.

"

Turning their head away, each person quickly goes back to what they were working on. However, they still couldn't help but steal a few more glances at the guests.

Since De L'amour is here to sign a contract with Fang Fabrics, will this mean they have more chances to see the retired model in person?

However, what they did not realize is that the person they wanted to see is actually right in front of them.

Yue Ling and Liu Shan heard the whispers, but neither person paid any mind to it. The boss and assistant continues to follow Secretary Jiang into an elevator and three figures ascend up the floor levels.

A short minute goes by before the elevator bell chimes and stops at the second highest floor.

"Please follow me this way.

"

Secretary Jiang spoke softly with a smile. She steps out of the elevator first and leads the two guests towards a room in the far back.

Following a few steps behind her, Liu Shan held a calm expression, but his eyes did not forget to scan around the place. If it had been only him, he wouldn't be on alert, but his boss is also here.

Yue Ling was the last to leave the elevator. When she saw Liu Shan's head ever so lightly turn from side to side in cautious, she couldn't help but shake her head.

This is a business meeting. Why is he making it seem like they were entering the underworld?

Time didn't take long before Secretary Jiang comes to a stop in front a huge double door in the shade of red. She turns around to look at Yue Ling and Liu Shan.

"President Fang is inside. Please wait while I will inform him of your arrival.

"

Her words fell as she turns back to face the door and push it open.

"President Fang, Assistant Liu and Secretary An from De L'amour are here.

"

"Ah great, let them in.

"

A man's voice sounds from inside the room and Secretary Jiang steps back out. She gestures a bow and her hand motions towards the room.

"Please do go in.

"

Liu Shan enters the room first then Yue Ling. It was a normal conference room with a long dark table in the center and empty chairs at the sides. The only difference were the walls that had been decorated with small pieces of fabrics in place of samples.

Once the two guests were inside the room, Secretary Jiang was no longer needed. She steps out and closes the door as she stood on wait outside.

President Fang was a middle-aged man with an obese figure. He wore a burgundy suit with a white dress shirt under and a bright gold tie around his neck.

When he saw Liu Shan enter the room, he kept a straight face that held a bit of sulking. However, the second he saw Yue Ling enter from behind, the corners of his lips curls up until they reach his eyes.

"Oh my. What a beautiful woman… Ah, I mean, you must be Assistant Liu and Secretary An.

"

Yue Ling nods her head to confirm the man and sits down on a chair across from him. Liu Shan slightly dims his eyes before taking the seat next to his boss. He was able to see the man's eyes that flash with malicious intentions.

However, he quickly adjust back to normal and smiles to the man.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you President Fang. We are here in place of CEO Han to discuss the supply contract between De L'amour and Fang Fabrics.

"

Hearing these words, President Fang's happy face that held a glint of malicious quickly disappears and he shows a frown. He looks away from Yue Ling's beautiful face to Liu Shan's handsome face.

"Supply contract?

"

He snorts in arrogance and leans back on his chair with his chin slightly raised.

"You must have been misinformed. I was told that this meeting is to discuss the partnership between the two companies.

"

He spoke with a confident tone and stares Liu Shan in the eyes like they were having a staring contest. He knows already that this meeting is about the supply contract, but since the CEO of the other party isn't here and sent her subordinates, he decided to take a chance.

From his judgment, Liu Shan and

"An Ling

" may be the assistant and secretary, but if he can bribe them, maybe there is a chance of changing the contract into a partnership one. Once his plan falls into place, he will own half of the world famous De L'amour.

After all, he believes there is no possible way for them to disagree as his Fang Fabrics is the only company in Imperial with all the top-quality materials a designer need.

Yue Ling was struck baffled by his words, but she kept herself composed. However, unlike her, Liu Shan didn't hide anything on his face.

His brows scrunch together tightly, and he gives President Fang a displeased look. The corners of his mouth turns down before he clasp his palms together to applaud the man.

"President Fang, I never thought that you would have such a great sense of humor.

"
