Chapter 920 Disappointed...
Coming out of the President"s office, Lu Lijun led Noah"s way towards the elevator. Once they entered, Lu Lijun pressed the b.u.t.ton for the rooftop floor as he wished to talk to Noah at the quiet place.
Noah didn"t talk and followed his friend quietly as if he could guess the topic of conversation.
Once they reached the rooftop, Lu Lijun went near the railing and stood silently as his sight followed the view ahead where the entire city was visible from the height.
Noah stood beside him, "The view is wonderful," he commented, but there was no reaction from the other cold guy.
Noah preferred to be calm and let Lu Lijun process what he was thinking.
In a while, Lu Lijun asked, "Don"t you have anything to talk about?"
"What do you expect me to ask?" Noah countered.
"Anything," Lu Lijun replied.
"Do you want me to ask you if I"m not curious or surprised to see a certain someone there?" Noah asked.
"No, as I know, you must have already studied about the company where you would work, and not knowing about the backbone of that company is idiotic," Lu Lijun replied.
"Thank G.o.d you didn"t doubt my smartness," Noah commented, smiling lightly, "Then what do you wish me to ask you?... Umm… about one pretty face you draw all the time?"
Lu Lijun gulped, hearing it, and didn"t look at Noah. "She is…." Lu Lijun stopped as he found it difficult to explain.
"Your elder brother"s wife," Noah completed, and Lu Lijun nodded lightly.
Lu Lijun didn"t know how to explain anything as he himself didn"t understand why he drew her all the time when he claimed to hate her. Moreover, she was his late elder brother"s wife that made it even awkward.
Noah continued, "I never tried to look into your background as I respected your decision to keep it secret. This time it was unavoidable as it was needed. Also, the moment you enter China, you are an idiot if you don"t know about a particular person."
"True," Lu Lijun agreed.
"You don"t need to explain anything to me that you don"t want to talk or think about," Noah said, and Lu Lijun felt relieved, or it would have been so difficult to explain.
"Thank you," Lu Lijun spoke.
"You don"t need to," Noah a.s.sured, but the next moment the serious tone changed into a playful one, "Man, you are the prince of this empire. Lucky you."
"Not really as I won"t be here for long," Lu Lijun informed.
Noah looked at Lu Lijun questioningly.
Sensing his sight, Lu Lijun looked back at him, and Noah smiled teasingly, "Let"s see."
Lu Lijun gave him a narrowed eyes look and changed the topic, "Jake returned his home."
"Seems like he even informed you but me," Noah mumbled.
"Says the one who told him to go back for real," Lu Lijun commented, and Noah understood Lu Lijun knew the argument he had with Jake.
Noah chuckled, "As if my words matter to him," he looked far away towards the city. "One day, he had to return, and that one day came a bit early."
Lu Lijun didn"t know how to comment on it and preferred to keep quiet.
"By the way, I hope now you don"t mind me working in your company," Noah asked, getting out of what he was thinking.
"As long as you behave," Lu Lijun replied.
"Why? Are you worried that I might seduce all the pretty girls here and might affect their work efficiency?" Noah asked, smiling teasingly.
"That"s the last thing I would be worried about," Lu Lijun countered as he stared at Noah.
"Do you doubt my charm?" Noah asked.
"It would be better if you use it on the right person," Lu Lijun replied.
"I always use it on the right people."
"What can I say when the person wishes to be ignorant," Lu Lijun spoke, and Noah felt loss for words.
"It"s my first day of work, and you are making me waste my time," Noah changed the topic, and Lu Lijun didn"t pester much as he knew there was no use of it on his stubborn friend.
Both returned and came across Xiao Min, who was going to his office. Seeing the two young men, Xiao Min stopped and bowed a little to Lu Lijun while Noah bowed to his new boss, Xiao Min.
"Mr. Noah. You would be working with me from tomorrow," Xiao Min informed.
"It"s my honor," said Noah as he added, "Only Noah would be fine too."
Just then, the receptionist came to them, "Mr. Chairman would like to meet the fourth young master."
Lu Lijun was there to see Jiang Yuyan, and with the sudden surprise of seeing his friend, he didn"t even get the chase to get the correct update on her.
"I"ll be there after meeting the president," Lu Lijun informed, and Noah gave him a look that Lu Lijun acted as if he didn"t notice.
"President Lu is not in the office. She is busy in the meeting," Xiao Min informed.
Lu Lijun had no choice left but to go to his father. "See you." Saying it to Noah, Lu Lijun left.
"Let me show you your office, Noah," Xiao Min offered, and Noah followed him.
His office was on the same floor and just beside Xiao Min"s office. Noah would be working under Xiao Min, and it was the start of preparing him to a.s.sist Lu Lijun in the future, so special attention was being given to him.
Xiao Min himself was Lu Qiang"s friend when they were kids. His father prepared him to work for Lu Qiang and be loyal to him his entire life. The same thing had expected from Noah, who was under observation since he became Lu Lijun"s friend.
--------
Lu Lijun went to his father"s office, where the receptionist bowed him outside of the office and left. He was about to knock on the door, but it was slightly open, and he heard his father talking to someone. Few words caught his attention, and he retreated his hand from knocking on the door.
"As per Mr. Chairman"s order, I tried to get information if President Lu was in trouble, and she was hiding it, but our sources informed she was in her other home since she left the farmhouse."
"Seems like Yuyan did it to let Lu Lijun lead the project," Lu Jinhai concluded.
"This might be the case," the other person a.s.sured.
Lu Lijun was shocked hearing it. Stepping back, he turned and didn"t enter the office. He looked disappointed and didn"t wish to talk to anyone.
On his way back from the Chairman"s office, Lu Lijun saw Jiang Yuyan walking along with Yu Fan and she looked fine, as usual, cold and there was no sign of her being sick.
He stared at her as she was walking in his direction. Her sight finally noticed the man standing in front of her at a distance.
Reaching where he stood, she stopped and said, "You did well today."
He wished to ask her where was she and if she did it to make him present the project but the words couldn"t leave his throat as his anger took over it. entire Night he was worried about her and till a while ago he was dying to know if she was okay but in the end, it turned out to be something else.
He felt like he was an idiot.
"This woman only knows how to successfully carry out the plans that she had prepared for long. One of her plans was to make take his brother"s place in the company and for that she would do anything," he thought.
So many thoughts crossed his mind in a split second and not replying to her praise, Lu Lijun stepped ahead and left.
Jiang Yuyan looked at his retreating back not knowing what happened to him but as usual, she preferred to leave him on his own.
Yu Fan was surprised too. She thought there would be a celebration for successfully carrying out everything by the fourth young master but things seem going in the wrong way.
"I thought we will celebrate for the fourth young master," Yu Fan spoke.
"No need," came the cold reply from the lady boss as she stepped ahead.
Not saying much, Yu Fan followed her boss. Though Yu Fan worked here for a long, she could never understand the lady boss.
Even the previous president was not as much difficult to understand as the current one while the future one looked even more difficult.
