‘Exhausted? No energy?’ The corner of Tong Lu’s eye kept twitching. ‘Is he complaining that I drunkenly had s*x with him and drained his energy?’

Her heartbeat became dangerously rapid. She sneaked a glance at Secretary Yu from the corner of her eye. Secretary Yu had put on a straight face. Perhaps he did not know that Tong Lu and Leng Yejin had s*x drunkenly last night. Tong Lu took a deep breath. She wanted to lose her temper so badly. “Can he remember everything if I only read it out once?”

“Young Master Jin has a good memory. He will usually remember something after listening to it only once.”

That was so impressive. Tong Lu could not help but be in awe. A glow of admiration beamed in her eyes. If she had this ability, she could have memorized so many things in all these years.

She might be diligent, but she was not naturally gifted. She was rather envious of gifted people.

Tong Lu held up the script and slowly read the speech out loud, paragraph by paragraph. She was worried that if she read it too quickly, he would not be able to remember the words. She stole a glance at her brother-in-law. He was propping his chin up with his hand. ‘Is he really awake, not falling asleep?’

Tong Lu paused purposefully. She did it again the second time and took longer pauses — for one or two minutes. The man who was slouching in the soft and comfortable armchair was unresponsive. It seemed like he had indeed fallen asleep. Speechless, she turned and looked at Secretary Yu. With a straight face, Secretary Yu gestured to her and signalled her to leave.

Tong Lu tiptoed away. “By the way, should we wake him up? Is he not going to memorize the script? What if he hasn’t done that by the time he goes onstage to deliver the speech later?”

“I’ll think of another way.” Secretary Yu was feeling defeated too. “Perhaps Young Master Jin did not have a restful sleep last night.”

‘I also didn’t have a restful sleep. I’m still pretty awake, and I woke up at five thirty. He only arrived at the venue at eight thirty. How is it that this man has less stamina than a woman? I didn’t drain his energy by having s*x with him. I didn’t, I didn’t, I certainly did not!’

Tong Lu was bellowing internally as she left dejectedly. Now that he had fallen asleep, she wanted to see how he was going to deliver the speech later.

After an hour, all the attendees had gathered in the meeting hall, including Leng Yejin. Tong Lu and a group of volunteers on their break stood in a corner, listening to the speeches.

The president went onstage, and everyone stood up to welcome him with thunderous applause.

If volunteers were not banned from taking pictures or videos in here, Tong Lu would have recorded the president’s awe-inspiring speech from start to finish.

The forty-something-year-old Mr. President stood on the stage and spoke into the microphone. He gestured in a genuinely authoritative manner. With age came an air of dignity. His speech was rousing and powerful. Tong Lu recalled the time when Mr. President gave a passionate speech during the presidential election and felt very emotional.

Halfway through the meeting, Leng Yejin went onstage with a devilish yet respectable demeanor. He, too, carried himself with dignity and appeared even more authoritative than his uncle. He even delivered his speech without looking at the script, but… Tong Lu noticed that Secretary Yu was standing down stage, holding a script in front of his chest. ‘Holy moly. Does this cheating method work? Shouldn’t he hold it up higher. Higher!’

If her brother-in-law could indeed see the script from so far away, she would dare herself to swallow an egg whole!

Under the spotlight, Leng Yejin delivered a stirring speech as the representative of the consortiums. The words rolled off his tongue in a clear and coherent manner and he received a round of applause.

Tong Lu applauded while grumbling internally. ‘Is he wearing a pair of invisible binoculars on his face? That’s why he can see the size-five Chinese characters on an A4 paper from more than sixty-five feet away?’

‘What kind of super-advanced invisible binoculars he was using?’

She would want to buy a pair too!

Secretary Yu waited for him to finish the first page of the speech before flipping to the second page. He acted as if it was a normal thing to do and that nothing was out of the ordinary!

Tong Lu rubbed her eyes vigorously and then widened her eyes as much as possible. She could not even see the papers he was holding, let alone the words!

She could not believe it!

Tong Lu was roaring internally. She did not believe that it was how he cheated. He must have memorized the script beforehand!

‘Secretary Yu, drop the act and stop flipping the pages! It’s impossible!’ She must go out and calm herself down. She was not admiring that man and was not impressed with him at all! Not even a little!

After the speech, Leng Yejin strode out of the meeting hall and entered the bathroom. He noticed that someone was following him but he did not think much of it and pretended that he never noticed the stalker.
