Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just when Lu Zhaoyang thought she had escaped from Huo Yunting, he was now pursuing her right up to her doorstep. How could she not get frustrated?
“Then let’s talk.”
Huo Yunting was happy to oblige. He sat down on her right, the corners of his mouth raised to reveal a subtle smile, and his beautiful eyes gluing to her body.
The stare made Lu Zhaoyang uncomfortable, but she still put on a bold face and read the agreement at the table.
“Honey, what are we having for lunch?”
“Packed lunch!” Lu Zhaoyang almost lost her patience.
“What? You have been eating that all this while?” Huo Yunting squinted. He stretched out his big hand to cover the documents in front of her.
Lu Zhaoyang looked at the hand that suddenly appeared in front of her. His fingers were long with distinct knuckles. They looked strong, just like him, who could make things happen with the snap of a finger.
“The cafeteria,” she explained helplessly.
“Are you telling me that you will bring me to eat at the cafeteria?” As Huo Yunting said that, he was actually sorry for her not having a real meal for the past one month.
“Let us get down to business and close the deal before noon. President Huo, you might want to get your lunch elsewhere, for a small company like us, all we have here is only a cafeteria.”
If eyes could be as sharp as a dagger, Huo Yunting’s hand would have been pierced with many holes.
Huo Yunting suddenly got to his feet but did not remove his hand. His hands went around her and suddenly hugged her from behind.
“Tell me, have you had a proper meal recently?”
The sudden gesture of concern stunned Lu Zhaoyang. Since he had chosen to hurt her mother, what was the point of caring for her now?
“President Huo, please stop doing things that cause confusion.” Her muscles tensed, but she still sounded calm.
“Confusion? What confusion? Let’s be clear; I am here just for you.” Huo Yunting lowered his head close to her ear. “I would not have come had you not been here. Ge Yu? I have never heard of it before.”
“If you think we are a nobody, I don’t mind if you leave now.”
Lu Zhaoyang tilted her head slightly, and Huo Yunting’s slight cold lips touched her cheek.
Once he kissed her, it would be endless.
“As a professional manager, your job is to look after the interests of the company. What would your boss think of you if you ask me to leave now?”
“It is never easy to get business from Thunderbolt Corp, and I believe my boss will understand me.” Lu Zhaoyang bet that Xiang Jinxi could not care less whether she could strike a deal with Thunderbolt judging from his indifference.
“You were my former chief secretary. If you cannot do it, who could?” Huo Yunting suddenly let go of her and patted her little face. “Let’s eat something. I am starving. We talk later in the afternoon.”
Afternoon?
Lu Zhaoyang took a deep breath. For business sake, she followed Huo Yunting to a high-end restaurant near her office.
But what did the cozy setting and the red rose on the table mean?
“Today is—”
“It is Valentine’s Day.”
Lu Zhaoyang shot him a look. “Valentine’s Day is on February 14; it’s too early.”
“It’s White Valentine’s Day.”
Lu Zhaoyang almost fainted. “President Huo, I am here to talk about business, not to date you!”
Huo Yunting noticed her gloomy face and knew that it was time for restraint. He flicked his fingers for food to be served and stopped agitating her anymore.

During lunch, Lu Zhaoyang kept silent. Huo Yunting felt good seeing her, but the fact that she distanced herself from him made him a little sad.
He knew he was a jerk and unscrupulous.
Lu Zhaoyang despised and hated him.
But what about her? She habitually put all the blame on him.
Give a dog a bad name and hang him.
After the meal, the two returned to Ge Yu again and signed the contract. But there was still a series of follow-up work, which meant that they would have more opportunities to see each other.
But Huo Yunting had gone missing after that day.
Lu Zhaoyang was not slackening, however. The deal was sealed, and he would appear sooner or later.
She was alone in the office; it was quiet.
The phone on the desk rang. Lu Zhaoyang picked up the phone, but her eyes glued to the monitor. “Hello.”
“Lu Zhaoyang, come and see me in the office.”
It was Xiang Jinxi. Lu Zhaoyang was stunned. He was back, what a surprise.
“I will be there right away.”
She hung up and wondered why Xiang Jinxi came to the company; there had been no significant things going on today.
When she got into his office with documents in hand, she found his office appeared different. There was a new black leather couch, a coat pole next to it, and a large bookshelf.
A new black minimalist round clock was on the wall opposite the desk. The slender second hand was moving with a tik tak tik tak sound.
Could Xiang Jinxi had decided to move back to his office here?
“President, these are the documents that you need to sign.”
Xiang Jinxi looked coldly at the document that suddenly appeared on the desk. He reached out and took a black pen, asking while signing them, “How is the deal with Thunderbolt going?”
His voice was emotionless, just like his face.
“Everything is going well. So far so good.”
After that, Xiang Jinxi said nothing. He was stingy in his words.
After signing all the documents silently, Xiang Jinxi got to his feet and left. He left a remark while passing in front of her without looking. “The shareholders will be present at the new product briefing next Monday, put on a good show.”
While Lu Zhaoyang picking up the documents on the desk, Xiang Jinxi had disappeared out of the office.
Come like the wind, go without a trace.
This guy was indeed strange.
But he did remind her about the new product briefing which she had almost forgotten.
It would be a busy week again.
She did not want to work overtime.
But still, after burning the midnight oil for several days came the big day on Monday, Lu Zhaoyang was nervous.
She was not ready today. When she was still in Thunderbolt Corp, she was calm facing the shareholders.
Could it be that the resistance to her reform plan had worn her confidence, and she was questioning herself now?
At last, Lu Zhaoyang cleared her throat and went onstage. She put up a subtle smile, and sitting right in the middle of the front row was Xiang Jinxi, who was still as cold as ever.
She had gone through the new products with Xiang Jinxi before. It should not be a problem. Things became more comfortable as the presentation went on.
There was a positive response from the shareholders and the board. Her hard work paid off.
The launch of the new products meant that she had finally gained a firm footing in the new company.
With the passing of the agendas, more works were awaiting her.
Everything had just begun, just like the deal with Thunderbolt.
