"Hello." He put out his hand to hold mine, and I knew his hand. It was warm, dry, thick, and soft. When I was in body center, I had also held his hand more than once, from its initial meatiness to its later parts. He is Liu Tian, my original customer.

"Director Liu, this way please!" I walked beside him and led the way to the conference room. He glanced at me occasionally, and there was a gentle smile in his eyes, which eased my tension.

By the time I reached the conference room, I was as calm as ever. I introduced the negotiators on our side of the table to them calmly, and a secretary-looking man at his side stood up and gave a brief introduction of their names and positions before sitting down.

The relevant department here first introduced the company's situation, recent years of performance, through the accounting firm's review of some simple financial situation. They listened attentively and asked a few questions from time to time. I was not familiar with the business, and had not been in contact with such matters for many years. I could not interrupt them at all, and could only listen attentively with a pair of ears, capturing the useful information in their words.

The conversation was tense and harmonious, and when the two sides had answered all the questions and communicated effectively, everyone in the hall had a relaxed expression on their faces.

He Xiao saw that it was about time, and used a relaxed tone to tell Liu Tian: "It's already 5, it's already the peak hours so why don't we eat together?"

"We have a few pretty good restaurants nearby. The food's not bad. They're from the Suhang cuisine department." The manager of the investment department obviously knows a lot more than I do. He actually knows that the customer's taste is light.

"Thank you. I still have something to do tonight." Liu Tian rejected He Xiao's invitation with a slightly distant attitude.

"I didn't set a date for tonight, so I'll definitely make it early next time." He Xiao smiled and spoke casually.

Looking at his long sleeves and his dancing appearance, I suddenly felt that my years of not working in the field have really degenerated. My judgement of He Xiao was wrong again. Not only was he skilled, he was also good at using people, and good at communicating with others. From this, I determined that he must have other things that surprised me.

Just when everyone thought that the meeting was over and they could shake hands and leave their discussion, Liu Tian suddenly looked at me and asked: "Manager Lin, regarding the wind control, can I talk to you about it alone?"

I looked at He Xiao in shock and found that he was also looking at me in surprise. When he saw me look over, he nodded.

So I said to Liu Tian, "Sure."

Everyone left from the conference room. Liu Tian and I sat opposite each other when he suddenly laughed: "Life is really like a drama, I never thought that I would see you in this kind of business negotiation setting. You are actually a wind controller?"

"I came to work on my first day." I tell the truth.

I don't know why, but every time I face Liu Tian, I feel too lazy to make up any lies, as if he can give me a feeling of extreme security. Or is it because the aura around him makes me lazy to lie, or because I don't have the strength to lie? Or do you dare to lie?

"Wind control?" he asked.

"To be honest, I've only studied it and worked in the advertising media for a few years." I'm still being honest.

"When I saw you at the elevator, I jumped in fright. Luckily, I'm usually more serious so I didn't show any strange expression." Liu Tian explained as if he was explaining.
