"Discussing cooperation is fine, but surely you know why I asked you here today!" Qi Longbing saw her dodge the issue again, her unwillingness to face reality making her retreat like a turtle into its shell. He felt it was time to teach her a lesson, to make her understand that no matter where she was or what her status, she could not escape him.
"The purpose of coming?" Hua Xiaomo looked at him and then chuckled dryly. "Isn't it just to have a meal?"
Her question made Qi Longbing almost laugh. "You are the chairman now, Miss Hua Xiaomo. Your intelligence… Don't tell me this is the extent of it."
"Sorry, I just thought it was only a meal. If President Qi has any other requests, then I'm afraid I can't agree to them." Hua Xiaomo rejected him quickly and directly. She felt that if he continued to speak in such a way, it would be an insult to both of them; she didn't want to accept it, nor did she want to engage further with such talk.
