307: 307, Hot Pursuit (1)

307, Hot Pursuit (1)

Lu Zhaoyang tossed and turned in bed, and finally heard the sound of the engine.2

A few minutes later, she got out of bed and went to the window to open the curtains.

There was no car outside. Feeling relieved, she returned to her bed.

What was Huo Yunting doing outside her apartment in the middle of the night?

A long while later, she finally fell asleep.

She hoped that this would not happen again. Otherwise, Lu Zhaoyang would not even dare to go out of her apartment.

Huo Yunting did not show up over the weekend. So, Lu Zhaoyang could finally let out a sigh of relief. 

She never expected that Huo Yunting still had another plan up his sleeves.

When Lu Zhaoyang received a memo that the company was in talks with Thunderbolt Corp for cooperation, she froze for a few seconds.

That man was at it again.

Everyone else was so excited that they poured into Lu Zhaoyang's office.

"Miss Lu, I heard that you used to work for Thunderbolt Corp. Why did you come here?"

"Are we riding the coattails now?"

"I heard that the president of Thunderbolt is extremely charming! Are the photos on the Internet true? Does he look as good in person?"

"Miss Lu, will President Huo come over personally for the talk? I can't wait to see him!"

Her female colleagues could not hide their excitement. But Lu Zhaoyang looked utterly indifferent.

With all the decision-making power in her hand, Lu Zhaoyang could turn down the deal from Thunderbolt Corp. But she was not going to do that for the long-term interest of the company.

When everyone saw her disagreeable expression, they quickly left her office.

"What is so great about her? She must still think that she is the chief secretary of Thunderbolt Corp. Yet she is now in our company. Pretentious!"

"That's right. The president only entrusts her to manage the company, yet she thinks she is the president. She had better know her place!"

"I bet fifty cents that she only came to our company after she was fired for screwing things up at Thunderbolt. Had it not been for our president being too lazy, she would not have the chance. Let alone carrying out the so-called reform that sends people into a panic."

Lu Zhaoyang heard every single word they said. But as always, she did not give a hoot about them.

She was tempted to reject Huo Yunting's proposal. She knew him so well that there were only two possible motives behind the proposed talk. 

He was either interested or hated this company and wanted to run it down.

This time…

She rubbed her glabella. Just then she heard an email notification; it was from Xiang Jinxi.

You are tasked to negotiate with Thunderbolt about the deal.

Lu Zhaoyang had seen it coming. But things still surprised her a bit.

The other companies in the city had long been eyeing to meet Huo Yunting. Now, he was presenting himself at the door, yet Xiang Jinxi did not even care. 

The representatives of Thunderbolt Corp arrived in the afternoon the next day.

Lu Zhaoyang, who was dressed in black and white business attire, stood in the lobby on the ground floor, watching as Huo Yunting and Huo Li walked in.

The scream of those ravenous women almost deafened her.

"He is so charming!"

"Quick, help me take a photo. Make sure he and I are in the frame!"

"I wish I could hug him for just a second. Will he reject me with my kind of appearance?

"I rather hope they will not close the deal today, so he will come again tomorrow!"

Huo Yunting ignored all the other women as his eyes were only affixed on Lu Zhaoyang. He stepped forward with a subtle smile. "Miss Lu, it's been a long time. I am so…"
