Chapter 208: Can You?

Lu Jingzhi was averse to the idea of taking Huo Jinyan’s private plane.
However, his hesitance could not suppress his curiosity. After the plane took off, Lu Jingzhi began to look around, and after he received Lu Ning’s permission to move about freely he wandered around the plane, as though on patrol.
Chu Ting peered at Huo Jinyan from behind, who was still leafing through the project folder and working. Eventually, he could not help but walk to Lu Ning’s side.
“Miss Lu, can I trouble you to give President Huo this cup of tea?”
Lu Ning looked at him dubiously. “Why don’t you go yourself?”
Chu Ting whispered, “I’m afraid President Huo won’t drink it if I go. He hasn’t slept for two days while he’s been dealing with the company’s matters, and even now he’s still reading the project folder. I’m afraid that his health will deteriorate if he continues.’
Lu Ning glanced in Huo Jinyan’s direction, then to the tea in Chu Ting’s hand.
“Did you put something in here?”
Chu Ting looked at Lu Ning and chuckled. “It’s just something to calm the mind and help him sleep. It’s not harmful to the body.”
Lu Ning sighed. “Alright, but I can’t do anything if he doesn’t drink it.”
Nodding eagerly, Chu Ting looked at her. “President Huo will definitely drink it if you bring it to him.”
Thinking that he was simply gratifying her, she took the teacup, stood up and walked forward.
As soon as Lu Ning sat down, Huo Jinyan’s attention was turned to her. Without waiting for her to say anything, Huo Jinyan reached his hand out; startled, Lu Ning tentatively handed the drink in her hands towards him. It seems Huo Jinyan really did want it; after taking it, he took two sips and placed the gla.s.s aside.
Peeking at them, Chu Ting was bewildered by this chain of events.
She didn’t even have to say anything!
After Huo Jinyan put the gla.s.s of tea aside and resumed reading the project folder, she whispered to him, “How about taking a break?”
Huo Jinyan did not turn around. “No, I can’t rest until I finish calculating the data.”
Lu Ning poked her head over to take a look. “Then how about I help you with the data?”
Huo Jinyan eyed her suspiciously. “Can you?”
Even though Lu Ning was doubted, she was not angry. After all, her math results certainly looked very bad.
Lu Ning took a pen from the side, and quickly calculated the value of the first line on a blank piece of paper; she then handed it to Huo Jinyan.
Huo Jinyan looked at her in surprise.
Then, he handed the project folder to her.
Lu Ning took it with a smile. She placed the project folder on her lap while she held a pen and paper in her hand. There were some parts which she could calculate without the need to write anything down, but she was a little uncertain and still wrote them down.
Huo Jinyan watched from the side as she calculated a couple of lines, and he could not help but gaze at her. As she was seriously calculating the data, she did not notice his gaze.
What surprised Huo Jinyan was not that Lu Ning knew how to calculate these things. Ever since he found out that Lu Ning was deliberately hiding her abilities, he knew that her standard would not be low. However, he did not expect her to be able to understand these obscure project data and even read them according to the numbers and requirements in the project folder. She could understand all of this.
Previously, Huo Jinyan had investigated what happened when she was with the Ltl family. At that time, he was told that the eldest daughter of the Ltl family was only a pretty face who was actually an idiot on the inside. However, he had also seen many news reports about Old Master Ltl bringing her to the company. It seems that she had been studying diligently at that time…
When Lu Ning reached the middle of her calculations, there was a statistic she was uncertain about as she could not find it anywhere else in the data. She wanted to ask Huo Jinyan, but when she turned around, she realized that Huo Jinyan’s head was leaning on her shoulder.
She had been so engrossed in her calculations that she did not even know when he had fallen over..
