Stealing Your Heart

“President Jiang wants to see you,” Nan Cheng informed.

Without skipping a beat, Chief Wu replied, “Since Hengkang’s president is offering to buy me a meal, it would be impolite for me to reject such a generous gesture. So, where should I meet him?”

“The private room on the top floor of Imperial House. President Jiang will be waiting for you there at seven tonight,” Nan Cheng answered.

“Sure. Tell him that I’ll be there.”

“Sure. I’ll head back right now to tell President Jiang. Feel free to let me know if you need my help in the future, Chief Wu.”

Chief Wu waved a casual hand. “We’ll talk about this another day.”

“Alright. I’ll be taking my leave now.” Nan Cheng replied.

Chief Wu hummed a brief response in return.

At seven in the evening.

Jiang Mohan had arrived earlier and was already waiting in the private room with the best view on the top floor of Imperial House.

This private room was located on the outermost edge of the building and had floor-to-ceiling windows covering the entire wall. The dining table within the room was placed against the windows where one would be able to have a panoramic view of the city at night.

Chief Wu arrived at seven sharp. Nan Cheng, who was waiting outside, spotted him immediately. He quickly greeted him politely, “Chief Wu.”

The other man nodded briefly in return.

“President Jiang is already inside.”

Nan Cheng led Chief Wu towards the private room.

Soon, they arrived at the door to the private room. Nan Cheng pushed it open and extended his hand in a polite gesture. “This way, Chief.”

With that, the man entered.
