Stealing Your Heart

He glanced randomly at the crowd downstairs when he was talking but frowned and averted his gaze from them soon as all he could see was a large group of people.

“President Zong.”

Zong Jinghao looked back and saw the city mayor walking towards him. He said smilingly, “I thought my eyes are deceiving me, but it really is you. Are you here to attend Bai Group’s annual banquet too?”

He felt that something didn’t add up as he had never heard that Wanyue was going to cooperate with Bai Group.

If Bai Yinning was a young and successful man, Zong Jinghao would be the best among that group of young men.

Zong Jinghao told his daughter that he would come back later and hang up the phone.

He then kept his phone.

“No.” His gentleness when he was talking over the phone faded away. This was how he usually looked when he was attending an event.

The city mayor held out his hand and said, “What a coincidence to meet you here.”

Zong Jinghao held out his right hand to shake hands with him and withdrew it in just a few seconds.

Zong Jinghao didn’t wish to waste his time for him, but he still had to give him some respect since an ordinary citizen would not pick a fight with a government official.

This applies even more to a businessman.

“Chairman Bai will soon be building a factory in my area, and so we’re going to discuss the details.” Since Bai Yinning still had some matters to attend to, he came up first to wait for him.

They planned to talk about it over dinner.

“How about joining us for dinner to get to know each other?” The city mayor wished to be the middleman, yet seemed to have thought of something very soon and laughed embarrassedly as he said, “Have the two of you known each other long ago?”

Considering Zong Jinghao’s status, how is it possible for him to be here if his company doesn’t have any ties with Bai Group?

“I don’t know him.” Zong Jinghao’s answer was straightforward and concise.

“He’s the chairman of the Bai Group. Even though he’s in a wheelchair, I rather admire his capabilities. Anyway, Bai Group is certainly no match for Wanyue. I heard that you’ve invested in some projects overseas and established an investment bank with your business partners. President Zong is indeed bold and resolute.”

Zong Jinghao really wasn’t interested to know about Bai Yinning, yet was slightly curious when the city mayor said that he’s in a wheelchair.

A leader who’s a disabled person must have his strengths, or else his employees could hardly be convinced under his leadership.

His gaze fell upon the crowd downstairs.
