Substitute Bride’s Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man-Chapter 213 - Bitter Black Tea
Chapter 213: Bitter Black Tea
Mo Lian’s attitude as if she was instructing servants made everyone present frown.
Mo Yan smiled as she went out. The director also sent a message to her assistant asking him to help Mo Yan with making the tea.
Although she could only move her right hand, Mo Yan was skilled in making tea. With the help of the director’s assistant, Mo Yan quickly brewed the tea and was accompanied back to the office by the assistant. She then served the tea to everyone.
The fragrance of the black tea was rich, and its color was clear. Just smelling it was a form of enjoyment.
As Mo Lian saw that Mo Yan had brewed the tea so quickly, her expression became a little unfriendly. She immediately glared at the director’s assistant, who pretended not to see her and left the office after helping to serve the tea.
!!“It’s been a long time since I’ve brewed tea. My skills are a little rusty. Everyone, please have a taste. ”
The director and Xu Tian picked up their cups and started drinking. The supervisor of Team B glanced at the supervisor of Team D and helplessly picked up the teacup as well.
Mo Lian saw that everyone else had drunk the tea. Although she was dissatisfied that Mo Yan had successfully brewed the tea, she had no choice but to pick up the teacup and take a sip because she was a guest in Hong Jing.
Cough! Cough Cough!
Suddenly, a violent cough sounded. Mo Lian covered her mouth with a tissue and glared at Mo Yan.
“Mo Yan! What did you give me to drink? ! Why is it so bitter? ”
Mo Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled, “This black tea’s leaves are plump and thick. The brewed tea is slightly acidic-tasting and bitter, helping to invigorate oneself. It also helps in detoxification and has a sweet aftertaste. ”
“Did you say that this is slightly bitter and acidic-tasting? ” Mo Lian’s sharp voice was unpleasant.
“Indeed! ” After saying that, as if afraid that Mo Lian would not believe it, Mo Yan took a sip.
Mo Lian stared at Mo Yan, whose expression did not change, and frowned. Suddenly, a suspicion arose in her heart.
“Mo Yan! Did you add something to my tea? Otherwise, it would not be so bitter! ”
Mo Yan smiled and replied, “How is that possible? Ms. Mo Lian, you are a big client of our company. Why would I do such a thing? ”
Other than the two who were at loggerheads, the others were carefully studying the tea, as if they had not heard anything.
At the end of the day, both of them were surnamed Mo, and they were both Mo Dong’s children. Any conflict between them was their family’s internal business and wouldn’t affect the cooperation.
However, if they brought their personal grudges to the cooperation between the companies, then that kind of partnership would need to be considered more carefully.
In the business world, there were many projects that flopped due to bringing personal feelings into the work. The purpose of cooperation was to make profits. If it didn’t make profits in the end, it would be better to put an end to that possibility before the cooperation.
However, a few executives from Hong Jing presently had some understanding of the Mo Lian’s arrogance and despotism. The cooperation being based on equality and mutual benefit aside, that the two families were cooperating under the conditions of mutual and equal benefit aside, for starters, it was not wise to start a fight just like that when it was one’s first time going to another company.
Looking at Mo Yan’s smiling face, Mo Lian felt like she could not take it anymore. She wanted to grab Mo Yan and give her a few tight slaps.
“Mo Yan, you also said that I’m a big client of your company. Why are you treating your clients with such bitter tea? I think you’re deliberately trying to make a fool of me! I’ve drunk plenty of black tea! There’s never been such a bitter one! ”
The more Mo Lian spoke, the angrier she got. In her heart, she was already certain that Mo Yan was making a fool of her and that those supervisors were mocking her.
Thinking about how she had actually embarrassed herself in front of Mo Yan, a wave of anger burned straight to her brain. Suddenly, she stood up, picked up the teacup, and threw it at Mo Yan.
Mo Yan had long been prepared for her overreaction. The moment the teacup was thrown at her, she stood up and dodged. Her eyes that were filled with frost were staring straight at Mo Lian.
The others were also shocked by Mo Lian’s sudden action and stood up in unison.
At that moment, the director couldn’t hold it in any longer and asked with a frown, “Ms. Mo, what do you mean by this? ”
“Director, your employee has been disrespectful to your guest, and you still want to protect her? Do you not want to cooperate anymore? ”
Mo Lian had long been angered to the point of losing her mind. Without thinking, she actually began to threaten the director of Hong Jing.
The old and experienced in the company knew best how to interact with others. Using profit as temptation was fine, but doing it via a threat was not. It was supposed to be an equal and win-win cooperation, yet she wanted to use profits to threaten others? What kind of joke was that? Did she really think the whole world revolved around her?
The director’s face turned cold at that moment. “Ms. Mo, before making tea, Mo Yan asked if the black tea leaves she had with her were okay, and you unhesitatingly replied that they were. The characteristics of those tea leaves include bitterness and a sweet aftertaste. If you didn’t like that type of tea, you could have brought it up at that time, but now you’re suddenly throwing a tantrum because it doesn’t suit your taste. Ms. Mo, I wonder if you are targeting Mo Yan or Hong Jing? ”
