The car drove slowly on the crowded late afternoon street. The shade had just fallen for a short while before the sun appeared like the fate of people coming and going. Amid the sultry and stuffy weather, the flow of people on the street is still bustling.
Normally, at times like this, Rose would wish for the rain to clear the road, but now that Wynn was by her side, she wished for the road to be more crowded and the traffic jam to last longer.
When the car stopped in front of the house gate, she lowered her head and spoke softly.
“Mr. Wynn, if you like Miss Mina, you should boldly pursue her. If you keep being half-hearted like this, you will lose her.”
Wynn turned his eyes to Rose. It turned out that she realized that he liked Mina.
“You already know?”
“Yes. Brother, she went to Q province with Steven and Stephen this afternoon.” Rose unbuckled her seat belt as she spoke.
Wynn felt his heart sink, a vague worry rushing back. Q Province is Mina's hometown. Could it be that she wanted to bring that man home to meet her family?
Although he knew that there were tourism projects being built there, he could not reassure himself that she was accompanying Steven only for work.
After being absent-minded for a while, he was startled when he heard Rose calling and quickly unlocked the door for her to get out of the car and smiled friendly.
“Thank you. Wish you all the best.”
“When I come back, can I still act in a movie with you?”
“Of course, I will always recommend you. Goodbye.”
As the car drove away, the smile on Rose's lips also disappeared, the tears that had been suppressed until now continuously fell.
She didn't know if she would be as happy as the dialogue in the movie if Wynn and that girl were happy together, but right now she felt her heart aching so much.
At the same time, in Dylan's office, Daria continued to look at him with the same eyes as this morning.
He had just criticized Lucky Company for being small and weak and then told her to learn from this and that, but now he suddenly changed his mind and gave them the huge electrical equipment contract.
It seems that this thread of experience is getting longer and longer.
“Sir, Mr. Stephen will be gone for three days.” Daria said.
“It's okay, just write my name as the representative on the contract. Once you've finished drafting it, give it to me to sign first. Make an appointment for them to come here tomorrow morning and sign it all at once.” Dylan said softly.
“But the contract value is so large, why don't we organize a bidding?”
“I'm the investor, I can give it to whoever I want, no need to bid. Break it up, and sign it into many contracts according to the regulations, just like Stephen did before.”
“We will pay them seventy percent of the contract value in advance?” Daria asked worriedly.
“Yes, do you have any opinion?”
Daria shook her head, quickly bowed to him, and returned to her office. This project is quite large, so Stephen wants to organize a limited bidding to select a qualified unit and not appoint any contractor.
But today, Dylan suddenly divided the electrical system and handed over the entire electrical item to Lucky company, even agreeing to a high advance payment. This was something that had never happened before.
Because it was the decision of the top leader of the group, Daria did not inform Stephen but instead followed Dylan's wishes to draw up contracts and contact Lucky company, inviting them to the Global group headquarters tomorrow morning to sign.
After turning on the air conditioner, Daria continued to bury her face in the computer to draft the contract. She silently blamed the weather for why it was cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon.
Although the city was so stuffy, the weather in the countryside of Q province was much milder. When the sunset fell over the vast rice fields in the distance, cool breezes also rushed in, soothing the summer heat.
Different from the hustle and bustle of the city at rush hour, the afternoon in the peaceful countryside is gentle and quiet. Up in the air, a few wind-filled kites are flying in the deep blue sky.
Although the two places were only a few hours away by car, this place had not yet received the showers like city S, the rainy season in this countryside was still very far away.
When the car reached the village gate, the sunlight faded, the sky gradually turned pale red and then sank into the dark background.
Nancy felt her soul light, temporarily forgetting her worries and sorrows, but the small memories in her could not be destroyed.
Mina enthusiastically introduced everyone to her parents, Liam and Anne. The children and old ladies in the neighborhood rushed over to see Steven, complimenting and gossiping.
Mina had never brought a man home before, so they assumed that Steven was her lover and that Stephen and Nancy were a couple.
Anne was overjoyed and quickly invited the three of them into the house, then hurriedly prepared to serve dinner.
Stephen had just come out of the bathroom when he saw four missed calls from Wynn, so he called back.
It turned out that the famous singer was on his way down here and didn't know which way to go to Mina's house, so he asked his boss for help.
Following Stephen's instructions, Wynn ran back and forth through several alleys. The alley was too narrow, so as soon as he drove in, the alley owners chased him out and told him to go another way.
After a while of struggling, he finally found the house of his dream person.
“What did you come to Q province for? Organizing a fan meeting?” Stephen raised his head and asked.
Before Wynn could answer, Mina's entire family appeared. Mina's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the idol standing in front of her.
Her nephews and nieces quickly recognized the idol on TV and immediately rushed to surround him, forgetting about the foreign man named Steven.
After a while, the children went home one by one so Liam's family could have dinner. The atmosphere was quite heavy, Mina's parents kept looking at Wynn and then at Steven. Stephen wasn't in their attention so he just kept eating, eating until his stomach was full.
Mina was no better than the two men, the chopsticks and bowls in her hands were shaking. They had asked her earlier and she said that the group's relationship was just friends and colleagues, but her father seemed unsatisfied with that answer.
Liam looked until his eyes got tired then decided to speak.
“I want to ask something. Which one of you is pursuing my daughter?”
“Dad, what are you asking?” Mina grimaced and looked confused.
Both arms raised up simultaneously, causing everyone's eyes to poke out.
While Stephen was sipping soup, he choked. This drama was too big. Nancy sitting next to him had to pat his back to help him. At this moment, Mina just wished she could grow wings and fly away from this place.
“I see. Eat quickly and rest, we'll talk tomorrow morning.” Liam nodded, lowering his voice.
“Dad, we have to go to the construction site tomorrow morning.” Mina quickly replied.
“Then let's talk in the afternoon.”
After saying that, Liam put the chicken leg into Wynn's bowl because he saw that Wynn was so skinny. Liam didn't know that this singer was losing weight to fit the role, that's why he was so skinny.
Wynn was touched, picked it up, and put it in his mouth. Unfortunately, the free-range chicken was too tough, he had to use his chopsticks to pull it out, and in the end, his hand slipped, causing the chicken thigh to fly high, jump high, and fall into Anne's bowl and stay there.
“Oh my god, this brat, eat it with your hands, this chicken is tough, even if you step on it and pull it up, you still can't tear it apart.” Stephen swallowed quickly and spoke.
Anne said nothing, picked up the chicken leg, and put it back in Wynn's bowl. He bowed his head to thank her. He felt that he had lost a lot of points in the eyes of Mina's family. It seemed that Mina's parents liked that polite and mature foreigner more than him.
After eating and drinking, everyone went to bed early so they could go to the construction site tomorrow. Wynn had just laid down on the bed when he heard a noise, so he quickly got up and opened the door.
“Miss Nancy.”
“Miss Mina asked me to give it to you.” Nancy handed him the blanket and said.
“She was busy bringing blankets to Steven, right? Oh, Nancy, why did you and Dylan break up? The two of you broke up so quickly that I still can't figure it out. I thought I would never see you again.”
“It's because we can't harmonize our personalities.”
“So are you dating Stephen now?”
“No, it's just a relationship between friends and partners. Okay, go to sleep, I'll go back to my room.”
