At this outburst, Tang Ruochu only felt ironic. It was a death penalty to foolishly fall out with shareholders in the meeting.She was hopeless.The shareholders all pulled a long face. When their despicable deals were revealed on the spot, they all felt more angry than ashamed.Someone stood up. "Gu Ruoruo, I'll return the money to you. Today, I have to vote for Tang Ruochu, the true heir of the Tang family.""Me too." Others stood up as well.It was already a hopeless situation. Gu Ruoruo's face instantly paled.After a unanimous vote, Tang Ruochu smoothly became the Tang Group's new chairman.The news quickly spread through the company, and the employees who supported Tang Ruochu cheered with excitement.Perhaps, that was what everyone wanted.In the meeting room, Gu Ruoruo collapsed into a chair. She looked lifeless, as if she had lost her soul.Tang Ruochu glanced at her with eyes full of mockery. This was karma.Then, while all the shareholders were still present, she
Inside the Thunderbolt Entertainment Group.In a spacious conference room, the atmosphere was tense. Everyone was sitting straight and looking serious at some department manager reporting.However, Lu Shijin, who was in the front seat, appeared obviously absent-minded. He raised his hand to look at his watch.Mu Ling beside him secretly muttered in his heart, "27 times."This was a record number of times his CEO had looked at his watch during a meeting.Mr. Lu had never been so... distracted in a meeting. He must be worried about something. Even his soul seemed to have left here.He must be worrying about Mrs. Lu.There would be a shareholders' meeting today in Tang Group. They would select a new chairman, and Mrs. Lu was one of the candidates.No wonder Mr. Lu would worry.In the meanwhile, as Mu Ling got lost in thoughts like this, a ringtone suddenly rang in the room.The atmosphere in the room instantly got tenser. They all looked at each other and thought who would be so
She had saved Tang Group, and the weight had finally lifted from her mind.When she sent her father to the US for treatment, everything would be perfect.She heard noise at the door. She thought Uncle Chen had led the doctor here."Uncle Chen, actually, I..." She turned her head around, but the words stuck in her throat when she saw who was coming in.For a moment."Shijin, why are you here?"Mu Ling sensibly closed the door and guarded it, leaving the room to the two of them."I got a call." Lu Shijin slowly walked over.A call? Tang Ruochu frowned. That must have been Uncle Chen.Lu Shijin observed her small face and furrowed his dashing brows. "How did you get hurt?"Tang Ruochu pursed her lips. "Gu Ruoruo slammed into me."That woman again! A trace of murderous, icy intent quickly flashed through Lu Shijin's eyes.He could not let her get away with it."What did the doctor say?" he asked.Tang Ruochu shook her head. "I just woke up. I haven't seen the doctor. But I gu
"Who are you? Why are you here?"Outside the door, Old Chen's slightly anxious voice rang out. Tang Ruochu darted a look at Lu Shijin and then said, "Shijin, go take a look, in case Old Chen is confused."As Old Chen and the doctor were about to reach the room, they had seen a male stranger standing at the door. They were startled and worried that something had happened to Ruochu, so they trotted over.Once they approached him, they began questioning him.Then, the male stranger—Mu Ling—got stunned. If the elderly gentleman was questioning him like that, he knew that he must think he was a bad guy.Thus, he immediately explained. "Mister, I'm not a bad guy. I'm just..."Before he finished, the door behind him opened. He turned his head around and saw his boss coming out. Instantly, as if he had seen his savior, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, please help me explain to the gentlemen that I'm not a bad guy."Lu Shijin looked at the helpless Mu Ling and then at Old Chen.Old Chen was
Then, Old Chen turned to say to Lu Shijin, "Mr. Lu...""Uncle Chen, you can call me Shijin." Lu Shijin interrupted Old Chen. Old Chen was a friend of Ruochu's father, and thus his senior.Old Chen laughed out loud. "Alright. I'll call you Shijin."Old Chen had expected him to be an unapproachable man. However, he turned out to be such a polite and well-educated person.Of course Ruochu would pick a guy like that.The more he looked at Lu Shijin, the more satisfied and happier he felt. He looked at Lu Shijin smilingly, and then he pretended to be solemn. "Shijin, you must be nice to Ruochu. If you ever upset her, I will not forgive you."Lu Shijin looked at Tang Ruochu, only to find her smiling secretly. He could not help but raise his lips as well and then slightly nodded. "Yes. I'll be nice to her, for my entire lifetime."He turned his head around and met Tang Ruochu's clear eyes. His lips spread even wider.Tang Ruochu smiled back and told Old Chen. "Uncle Chen, Shijin treat
Ji Yinfeng had come to the Tang Group building in time, ready to take the new chairman of Tang Group—Gu Ruoruo—home.However, he would never have thought that he would find her sitting on the ground in front of the building.He was startled for a second, and then he quickly walked up to her."Ruoruo?"Gu Ruoruo had been about to scramble to her feet by herself. When she heard the familiar voice, she immediately sat back on the ground, miserably looking up at the man walking up."Yinfeng," she wailed pitifully, lips puckered."What happened to you?" Ji Yinfeng did not hurry to help her up. He just stared at her, standing still with furrowed brows.When he did not help her up, and just questioned her instead, Gu Ruoruo felt kind of upset.Eyes downcast, she reached out her hand. "Yinfeng. You have to help me up so that I can explain to you."Her voice sounded cute, but it actually carried a trace of dissatisfaction.Ji Yinfeng's eyes flashed. He hid the emotion in the depths of
She was so surprised and wanted to stand up and walk over. However, her smile froze in the next second.This was because she had seen a woman holding onto Lu Shengyao's arm and whispering something in his ear. They looked extremely intimate.However, Lu Shengyao seemed to be a little absent-minded. He turned and looked around as if he was looking for something.Ying Xiaoxiao did not know if he was looking for her, but when he looked in her direction, she subconsciously lowered her head and hid behind a pot of plants.Lu Shengyao looked visibly disappointed, perhaps because he had not seen the person he was looking for.However, Ying Xiaoxiao did not catch the expression.By the time she lifted her head again, Lu Shengyao and the woman had already disappeared.Her heart suddenly felt empty and it was very uncomfortable.She bit her lip embarrassedly. Who was that woman? Was he late because he had to accompany her?At the thought of this, anger rose from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing this, the pampered woman said with great excitement, "Then let's order a couple set!"A couple set?!The corners of Lu Shengyao's eyes twitched. "I'm afraid that's not a good idea.""What's wrong with that? We'll be a couple after today anyways."The pampered woman glanced at him shyly, showing the best of a woman's delicate demeanor.Lu Shengyao was speechless. Who had given her the confidence to think they could become a couple?Had she asked what he thought about it?"Miss Yang, actually, I... "Lu Shengyao wanted to explain himself, but she interrupted him. "Oh, you can just call me Jiaojiao, there's no need to be so formal."After that, she lowered her head shyly.Lu Shengyao was so desperate that he did not even want to say anything.Compared to such a pretentious woman, Ying Xiaoxiao's straightforward and fiery character was more of his type.Without asking for Jiaojiao's opinion, he said directly to the waiter beside him, "Give me a random set, anything but
