 Chapter 48: Is the Distinguished Guest in the Private Room Ou Yan?

"It's not just because I miss you. The top three winners of the piano competition are out. They were selected by the people under me. They said the works this year aren't that great. I'll send them over for you to listen."

"Okay." Ou Yan was also one of the top judges, but she rarely participated in the selection process; it was usually handled by her subordinates.

Every year, there was a piano competition in Huaguo, but this year, there were fewer participants as many had gone abroad for international competitions.

"The first-place winner got there mainly because of their family's reputation, and the other works weren't that great. The second-place winner is a pity; the first half of the piece was mediocre, and the latter part was a bit lacking, although the climax was decent. It felt like there were too many unnecessary additions! As for the third-place winner, let's not even talk about it..."

"Okay, I'll give it a listen." Although Ou Yan didn't participate in the selection process, she still wanted to know at what stage they were and what talents emerged this year.

When she clicked on the audio file sent by Grandpa Long, she saw the name Li Yusha written on it.

Li Yusha got first place?

The piece did sound rather mediocre...

She then clicked on the second-place winner, and it was quite a coincidence, Bai Muyao?!

Why did this piece sound so familiar?!

A cold smile tugged at the corners of Ou Yan's lips as she closed her computer, deciding not to listen any further.

On the other side...

Bai Zhenhai sat in the first-floor lounge of Ou Yan Group, his gaze fixed on the direction of the elevator.

He had been waiting since morning until noon, but he hadn't seen Wu You. He endured his hunger until this moment.

He was practically starving by now!

No one invited him upstairs, and no one even offered him a glass of water!

He couldn't help but approach the front desk cautiously, smiling, "Excuse me, has Mr. Wu finished his meeting?"

There was no way a meeting could last the entire day!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu is still busy. Please come back another day!" The receptionist's attitude was rather indifferent, unlike before.

Bai Zhenhai lowered his voice and asked, "Can you please check for me? I've been waiting since morning."

"Our Mr. Wu is really busy." As soon as the receptionist finished speaking, Wu You walked out of the elevator. She quickly stood up, nodding respectfully along with her colleagues, "Hello, Mr. Wu!"

"Mr. Wu, it's me..." Bai Zhenhai finally spotted the familiar figure and hurriedly approached, trying to establish a connection.

But Wu's assistant intercepted him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu is pressed for time."

"Can you give me three minutes...?" Bai Zhenhai still wanted to squeeze in, "I need to talk to Mr. Wu."

"Sorry, Mr. Wu is really in a hurry."

"Assistant Liu, can you tell me why Mr. Wu is no longer cooperating with us?" Bai Zhenhai tried to hand over the bank card he intended to give to Ou Yan earlier to Assistant Liu.

"Mr. Bai, you really shouldn't!" Assistant Liu pushed the card back to him.

Bai Zhenhai insisted on giving it to him.

As a result, the card fell to the ground, drawing the attention of many people.

"Mr. Bai, what you're doing is blatant bribery. You'll get me fired!" Assistant Liu was furious.

"Assistant Liu..."

Assistant Liu hurriedly pushed his hand away and caught up with Wu You, distancing himself as quickly as possible, as if eager to disassociate himself from Bai Zhenhai.

"Assistant Liu, please wait for me..." Bai Zhenhai disregarded his disheveled appearance and picked up the card from the ground. He chased after them when he saw them getting into a car and pointed to a taxi, "Follow that car."

In the private room of the No. 9 Restaurant...

Ou Yan had been waiting there for a while. When Wu You entered in a formal suit, she couldn't help but tease, "You're increasingly showing CEO vibes."

"Boss, you're teasing me again." Wu You entered the room and placed the reports aside, presenting a gift, "This is tea made from the thousand-year-old ancient tree on Dongyifeng. I brought it as a gift for you."

"You're making me sound old!" Ou Yan accepted the gift, "Let's eat first."

Bai Zhenhai finally arrived at the No. 9 Restaurant, only to find out from Assistant Liu that Wu You had gone to the private room on the second floor. He tried to go up but saw Assistant Liu guarding the door to No. 1.

Assistant Liu also noticed him but didn't expect him to try to barge into the room. He quickly blocked him.

"Assistant Liu!" Bai Zhenhai approached him with a smile, "You've misunderstood. I don't intend to go in. I just want to wait for Mr. Wu to finish his business and have a word with him."

"Mr. Wu has nothing to discuss with you."

"How could that be!" Bai Zhenhai kept smiling, "We used to have such pleasant cooperation!"

"Hmph."

If it weren't for the big boss, Ou Yan, who would cooperate with your small company?

Moreover, our past collaborations were far from pleasant!

"Assistant Liu, would it be convenient to reveal who Mr. Wu is dining with?" Bai Zhenhai flattered shamelessly.

But Assistant Liu replied coldly, "Not convenient."

"Assistant Liu..."

Bai Zhenhai wanted to say more, but Assistant Liu cut him off, "Mr. Wu won't see you. Mr. Bai, please leave!"

Bai Zhenhai didn't get annoyed; he just stood outside the door, waiting. After a while, he saw Assistant Liu suddenly leave...

He hurriedly twisted the doorknob!

The people inside had already finished their meal and left through another exit...

He never expected there to be another exit in the private room!

No, he had to find Ouyan and ask her what was going on! He needed to know the truth behind all this!
