âPresident Lu.â Shen Yuechuan knocked on the door of the presidentâs office. âMiss Xia is here.â
Lu Boyan looked up and saw Shen Yuechuan and Xia Mili. He gave Shen Yuechuan a look without a trace.
After so many years of tacit understanding, Shen Yuechuan immediately understood what Lu Boyan meant and chose to stay in Lu Boyanâs office.
Lu Boyan greeted Xia Mili and motioned for her to sit down.
Daisy came in with two cups of coffee. Seeing that Shen Yuechuan didnât intend to leave, she gladly offered him a cup of coffee too.
The door of the office was wide open, and there was a third party in the roomâLu Boyan was obviously trying to avoid the suspicion of being with Xia Mili!
Daisyâs feeling could be described in one wordâCool!
Xia Mili naturally understood everything, but she was smart enough that she didnât say anything about it.
She sat upright on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, and said, âBoss Lu, before we talk about business, I want to converse with you about the photos on the Internet first.â
âThereâs nothing worthy to talk about,â Lu Boyan said calmly. âWe all know that itâs just a misunderstanding.â
âIâm very sorry,â Xia Mili said, âI shouldnât have been drunk that day, and I shouldnât have pestered you in the hotel. But I really didnât mean to vomit on you.â
âI know. As for getting drunk, I canât blame you,â Lu Boyan said, âIâve already asked someone to investigate who took the photos and how they were uploaded to the Internet. There should be an answer soon.â
Xia Mili nodded. âItâs in our best interest to find it out as soon as possible. I also want to know who did these things and what his purpose is.â
âThe photos have already affected me. You donât have to worry. I will deal with it.â Lu Boyan looked at Xia Mili indifferently. âDo you have any ideas or suggestions?â
Xia Mili shook her head apologetically. âIâve been abroad for too long. And Iâm not familiar with the domestic mediaâs rules at all. So, Iâll leave it to you. I believe in you.â
From the beginning to the end, Xia Miliâs performance looked quite normal. It seemed that she really didnât know what was going on with those photos, and it appeared that she was not involved in the exposure of them.
Lu Boyan kind of hoped that Xia Mili was not acting, or...
There was a flash of killing intent in Lu Boyanâs eyes, but on the surface, he still looked polite and distant. âWhen the results come out, I will tell you right away.â
âOkay. Thereâs something... I donât know if I should ask.â Xia Mili hesitated. âYou said that this matter had already affected you. Did... did it affect your relationship with your wife? If so, Iâm terribly sorry.â
Lu Boyan smiled. âMy wife and I arenât so distrustful of each other.â
Xia Mili hid her disappointment and said, âOh, then what do you mean by the impact? Itâs just a misunderstanding. Canât you explain it to your wife?â
âHow is it possible that I canât explain it clearly?â The first half of Lu Boyanâs voice was still full of love, but when it came to the latter half of the sentence, his voice gradually cooled down. âItâs just that I donât want such a misunderstanding to happen.â
It was only then that Xia Mili realized that Lu Boyanâs feelings for Su Jianâan had reached the point of bearing no defects
Even if it was just a misunderstanding, which could be explained easily, he could not tolerate it.
How much did he love that woman?
There was obviously something going on in Xia Miliâs heart, but on the surface, she still looked calm. âIâm relieved that you can explain it to your wife. Letâs talk about work, shall we?â
âAs for the cooperation, Iâll leave it to Yuechuan for the time being,â Lu Boyan said. âBefore I take over the project again, you can talk to Yuechuan about all of it.â
Not only Xia Mili, but even Shen Yuechuan was shocked.
âWhen did he hand it to me? Why donât I know anything about it?â Shen Yuechuan thought to himself.
âWhat the f*ckâf*king damn!â
Although he was roaring in his heart, on the surface, Shen Yuechuan looked like, âYes, this project already belongs to me.â He made a gentlemanâs gesture of âpleaseâ and said, âMiss Xia, letâs go to the conference room to talk.â
Xia Mili didnât react in time.
It was understandable to her that Lu Boyan kept the door of the office open and let Shen Yuechuan be thereâLu Boyan had to avoid being gossiped about his relationship with her.
âBut now, he even handed over the project to Shen Yuechuan?â
âWhatâs the position of Shen Yuechuan? He is just an assistant!â
Xia Mili did not move, and her expression gradually became unpleasant. âBoss Lu, I understand why you did this. But, isnât this too irresponsible? Special Assistant Shen is just your assistant. If he is in charge of the cooperation and management of the new project between Lu Enterprises and the MR Group, it will arouse suspicion when the news is widespread, wonât it? Happy cooperation requires cooperation between both sides!â
âYuechuan is my assistant. I know better than anyone how capable he is.â Lu Boyanâs face darkened. âYou doubt his ability, which means... you doubt me?â
Xia Mili was stunned, and a trace of panic flashed across her face. âI didnât mean that...â
âI understand why you have such concerns.â Lu Boyan said, âYuechuan is in charge of the project for the time being. If you or anyone else in MR have any dissatisfaction, I can take over the project again.â
In this way, Lu Boyan had already made a concession.
Xia Mili didnât know what to say, so she could only agree. âOkay.â
She got up and followed Shen Yuechuan out. When she was about to reach the door of the office, Lu Boyan suddenly added,
âI forgot to tell you that it wonât take long before Yuechuan becomes the vice president of Lu Enterprises.â
Xia Mili looked at Shen Yuechuan in surprise and immediately smiled. âIâve heard that Mr. Shen is competent. Now it seems that itâs true. I can rest assured that Mr. Shen will be in charge of the project.â
Shen Yuechuan smiled modestly. âMiss Xia, the meeting room is this wayââ
On the way to the conference room, Shen Yuechuan was silently cursing Lu Boyan.
Others couldnât see it, but it was obvious to him that Lu Boyan must have done it on purpose!
âDoes he think he can force me to get promoted in this way?â
âHuh, does he think that all those years of working with him are useless?â
He had plenty of ways to deal with him!
Xia Mili just felt that Shen Yuechuan didnât seem to be very happy and thought that he might be angry about her words just now. She apologized and said, âSpecial Assistant Shen, Iâm sorry. I didnât mean to deny you just now.â
âHmm?â Shen Yuechuanâs and Xia Miliâs thoughts were totally different. After half a second, he realized what she was talking about. He smiled and said, âWhat did you say just now? Iâm sorry, I have forgotten.â
When he smiled, it couldnât be more lethal.
He was an elegant hooligan and an evil gentleman. It was perfect to use such contradictory words to describe Shen Yuechuan.
The most important thing was that the whole process of communicating with him could be very pleasant.
Xia Mili smiled. âI finally know why others say that if you want to deal with Lu Boyan, youâll have to start with Shen Yuechuan.â
First, Shen Yuechuan was easy to get along with.
Secondly, his relationship with Lu Boyan was really unusual. His words were more important than anyone elseâs.
Shen Yuechuan just smiled and pushed open the door of the small conference room. âCome in, please.â
By the time they finished their discussion, it was already noon. After he finished lunch in a hurry, it was another busy afternoon waiting for him.
When Shen Yuechuan was about to get off work, he received a call from Henry, who told him that the results of his examination had come out.
He asked directly, âHow is it?â
After a moment of silence, Henry said, âCome to the hospital first. Letâs talk face to face.â
The hidden meaning was very obviousâhis condition was not very ideal.
Shen Yuechuan lowered his voice. âOkay.â
He soon arrived at the hospital, and Henry placed the report of the examination in front of him. He said with a serious look, âYuechuan, your condition has begun to worsen.â
â...â
It was obviously the expected answer, but Shen Yuechuan still felt dizzy and everything was dark in front of him.
He continued to say, âAlthough itâs not very obvious, in the following time, the symptoms will attack you more frequently. If itâs convenient for you, stay in the hospital and start your treatment from now on so that I can acquire your latest condition at any time.â
Shen Yuechuan shook his head. âNot yet.â
Henry still wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by the gesture of his hand.
He closed his eyes, quickly operating his brain. Soon afterward, he had arranged everything in his mind, saying, âI will fully cooperate with the treatment, but right now, there is no need for me to stay in the hospital. Also, donât tell anyone about this matter. Henry, I cherish my life too, but in terms of time, I have my own plans.â
Henry said helplessly, âWell, I respect your own choice.â
After leaving the hospital, Shen Yuechuan stayed in the car for a long time before he calmed himself down. When he was about to call the driver to drive, his phone suddenly rang.
He thought it was a call from work, but the screen showed Xiao Yunyunâs name.
If there was nothing special, Xiao Yunyun wouldnât call him.
He picked up the phone without hesitation. Xiao Yunyunâs anxious voice came from the phone. âShen Yuechuan, where are you?â
Shen Yuechuan told her the address close to the hospital and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âIâm at MiTime, and Qin Han... is in a fight.â
âWhatâs going on?â As he said that, Shen Yuechuan had already asked the driver to head to MiTime bar.
âI canât explain it clearly for now, but the manager said that those people knew you.â Xiao Yunyunâs intention was very obviousâshe wanted Shen Yuechuan to stop the fight.
âIâll be there in about 15 minutes.â Shen Yuechuan said, âWhether they fight or not, you should stay away from them. Donât get involved, and donât interfere. If someone makes trouble for you, just tell them that you are Su Yicheng and Lu Boyanâs cousin. Do you hear me?â
âI heard you clearly.â Xiao Yunyunâs voice became weaker and weaker.
Only now did Shen Yuechuan remember that Xiao Yunyun might have never seen a fight in her life, let alone a fight involving her boyfriend.
His voice became gentle. âDonât be afraid. Iâll be there in a minute.â
Xiao Yunyun was silent for a moment before she said softly, âHmm.â
Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone and urged the driver to drive faster.
Out of curiosity, the driver asked, âSpecial Assistant Shen, is it your girlfriendâs call?â
Shen Yuechuan was surprised. âWhy did you ask?â
The driver laughed and said, âThe tone of your speech just now seemed to tell me that you were talking to your girlfriend.â
Shen Yuechuan was stunned and suddenly fell into silence.
In the face of Xiao Yunyun, at the critical moment, he still couldnât control himself and accidentally exposed himself.
Fortunately, Xiao Yunyun was in a panic, or she was very worried about Qin Han, so she couldnât detect the strangeness in his tone.
Otherwise, it would be awkward when they met.
âNo.â Shen Yuechuan denied. âItâs Boss Luâs cousin. She has run into some trouble, so you should take me to MiTime as soon as possible to stop the fight before it gets worse.â
âOkay!â
The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the white Land Rover sped up in the direction of the bar...
