Lu Zhaoyang could already hear the beautiful song played on the piano from afar . The maid brought her straight to the back of the manor where Qiu Jin was swimming in the open-air swimming pool .
This time, she came not to convince Qiu Jin to pass the project to Thunderbolt but to learn more about Qiu Jin’s preferences so that she could come up with a better proposal later .
“Zhaoyang!” Qiu Jin came out of the water, revealing her skinny black bikini together with her proud figure . She took off her swimming cap and swung her hair in seductively .
Taking the bath towel handed over by the maid, Qiu Jin wiped the water off her body . “It has been a long time . I didn’t expect you to work for Thunderbolt again . ” Qiu Jin ambled towards Lu Zhaoyang . She threw away the towel, took a glass of light pink cocktail and drank it .
“Oh, I’d like to drink, but I have to drive . Thank you . ” Lu Zhaoyang politely declined the wine handed in front of her . “It is just a temporary job . ”
“Don’t be so modest . Since when is it so easy to become the chief secretary of Thunderbolt?” Qiu Jin put down the glass and lay comfortably face down on a chaise lounge, enjoying the massage of a professional masseur under the shade of the large patio umbrella . Her life was the envy of many people .
“Just for one month . After that, I will return to Washington . ” When offered a glass of juice, Lu Zhaoyang happily accepted it .
“Why go back there? After spending a long time abroad, you will know that the city was a land of feng shui . Oh, our Autumn Water land will be developed . ” Qiu Jin suddenly looked at Lu Zhaoyang . “Is this not why you are here?”
“It seems that nothing can escape your eye . ”
“But Zhaoyang, I am very sorry…” Qiu Jin pursed her lips, “Our evaluation shows that most people prefer Xiang Yuan . So—”
“Do we really not have a chance?” Never did Lu Zhaoyang expect that they would have made the decision so early .
“Zhaoyang, the business world is a dog-eat-dog world . I hope you could understand . ” Qiu Jin was euphemistic but her meaning was loud and clear .
“No worries . ” Lu Zhaoyang now knew that Xiang Yuan Corp was one step ahead of her .
Lu Zhaoyang was thinking about how to tell Huo Yunting about it when she got a call from him while driving back . “I am on my way back,” she said via her Bluetooth headset .
“How does it feel to run into a stone wall?” Huo Yunting asked with a slothful voice .
“You knew about it?” She could not help but raise her voice as she realized that she was fooled by him again .
“Not long, just knew it . Come back, your son misses you . ” Huo Yunting leaned lackadaisical back in the chair while the little guy was sleeping in his lounge .
“I got it . ” Lu Zhaoyang hung up, feeling upset .
Lu Zhaoyang went straight to Huo Yunting’s office once she was back in Thunderbolt but she found that Xuxu was still sleeping . So, she left without even talking to Huo Yunting .
Lu Zhaoyang honestly doubted that Huo Yunting did not have prior knowledge about Xiang Yuan Corp getting the contract before them . Otherwise, why did he appear so nonchalantly about the Autumn Water project?
Damn it! She cursed .
An hour later, Huo Yunting carried Huo Xu into Lu Zhaoyang’s office . The little guy was awake and playing on the couch . Huo Yunting walked over and looked down at Lu Zhaoyang . “Are you angry?”
“Not at all . Who am I to get angry with President Huo?” Lu Zhaoyang forced a smile and continued to type on the keyboard . “I still have work to do . Please help yourself!”
“All right . It is all my fault and I apologize . To show my sincerity, I am going to bring you out for dinner . ” Huo Yunting did not hesitate to eat the humble pie just to have dinner with her, showing how sincere he was
