Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was a new day full of vitality.
Ever since Jin Nian found out that Lu An was the CEO of Whale, she refused to ride to work in his car under any circ.u.mstances.
Lu An didn’t mind, but he couldn’t resist her persistence, so he gave in.
They left together but got into their own cars.
Lu An rolled down his window halfway and reminded Jin Nian in a lazy posture, “Don’t forget what you promised me.”
Jin Nian stuck out her tongue at him. She wasn’t going to comply!
She wasn’t foolish. She wouldn’t willingly walk into a lion’s den!
Jin Nian was determined to avoid him, so Lu An couldn’t come to her desk to fetch her.
While she was slacking off, Jin Nian received a message from Lu An, “Where did you go?”
She pretended not to see it and only replied after more than an hour, “I’m working. I’m busy.”
“When will you be done?”
“I’m not sure, there’s a lot of work.”
“Then come up for lunch during your break.”
“Thanks for the invitation. I’ve already made plans with a colleague to have potato noodles in the cafeteria.”
In short, whether Lu An used a tough or gentle approach, Jin Nian refused to comply.
Lu An put away his phone. Since she wasn’t coming up, he decided to head down.
After the lunch break, Jin Nian was extremely busy. The once quiet office suddenly became noisy. Jin Nian subconsciously looked towards the source of the commotion and saw her colleagues excitedly discussing with someone nearby, “Is that our big boss?”
“Yes! Is this your first time seeing him?”
“Yeah, I’ve heard he’s handsome, but I never expected him to be this good-looking! My goodness! He’s so handsome, why bother running a company? Why not become a star?”
“Are you kidding? You can only earn a little money as a celebrity. Do you know how much money Whale makes in a year? Besides, he comes from a wealthy background. Why would he dabble in the entertainment industry?”
“True, if I were as rich as him, I wouldn’t either.”
Jin Nian subconsciously looked up and saw Lin Qianyu standing next to Lu An, nodding and accompanying him like an underling.
The man was dressed in a sharp suit and tie. He exuded a n.o.ble and aloof temperament, calmly listening to his surroundings.
Jin Nian squinted her eyes. She remembered him leaving the house in a denim jacket. At that time, she couldn’t help but comment that a CEO wearing a denim jacket to work wasn’t formal.
Just as she was mumbling to herself, Lu An suddenly looked her way, his sharp gaze scanning across everyone’s faces. Those who met his gaze instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
When Jin Nian locked eyes with him, she quickly averted her gaze and lowered her head to her computer screen.
Even if he was exceptionally good-looking, she was still a professional. Work was work! They couldn’t allow a thief to disrupt their work environment!
If he had a refreshing youthful air when he wore a denim jacket, then the black suit now made him look even more well-dressed.
Lin Qianyu introduced him, he said to everyone in the office, “Everyone, put aside your work for now. Let me introduce you to our CEO Lu.”
Lu An nodded at everyone. “There’s no need for introductions. Everyone, just get back to work.”
After saying that, Lu An turned and left the office. It seemed like he was here just to check on everyone’s work att.i.tude.
The office was quiet until his footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Everyone couldn’t help but get excited. “Wow, he’s so cool!”
“I don’t think he’s stuck-up. Why do they call him Fire Dragon?”
“We don’t usually get to see him, so of course we haven’t witnessed him losing his temper.”
“But he’s handsome, with broad shoulders and long legs.”
“People don’t succeed based on their looks. He’s talented.”
“And, don’t get any ideas. He’s already married.”
“I can’t even imagine, he’s so good-looking. His wife must be a beauty like a G.o.ddess, right?”
As colleagues discussed, someone suddenly asked Jin Nian, “Jin Nian, what do you think?”
“What do you mean?” Jin Nian was taken aback.
Her colleague grinned, “Based on your standards, is the big boss handsome?”
Jin Nian nodded. “He’s quite handsome.”
The colleague shook their head with regret. “Our lady boss is lucky to have such a handsome and profitable hubby. I bet she laughs out loud in bed at night.”
Jin Nian smiled but didn’t respond.
The next second, her phone vibrated.
It was a message from Lu An, “Come to my office..”
