C17 Signing of Agreements
It was only now that she could truly see the structure of his office, its simple, modern design suffused with noble luxury. Only that hanging area made of glass made her feel an unbearably cold and aloof feeling.
She wanted to get close, to make him less lonely. However, he was restrained by the aura emitted from his body. Yes, she should not approach at will.
"You have something to talk to me about?" It was as if a century had passed, and only then did the black figure shrouded in white light open his mouth.
"I …" She wanted to retreat, but her friend's stressed face and expectant eyes flashed through her mind. Update First Time
"Are you alright? "Then scram."
Cold words popped out from his tightly pursed lips. From start to finish, he didn't even turn around to look at her.
"I, I want to get a job with you for my friend."
She mumbled, weakly.
"Heh." With a light snort, he turned around and sat down in front of the chair. Then, he picked up the golden brush and casually flipped through a document. Just when Fu Xiaoqian thought that there was no hope and was about to leave, she asked, "What can I get?"
Hearing that, Fu Xiaoqian's heart skipped a beat. That's right, she wouldn't think that he would simply lend her a hundred million and feel that he was special. Everything should have a reason for its happening, as well as the price it had to pay.
"I will repay the favor I owe you."
His heart was astringent, and the words he spat out no longer flowed smoothly. She looked at him bravely, trying to hide the bitterness in her heart.
"Hmph." The pen in his hand stopped, and his eyes that had been raised suddenly flashed with torrential rain, "Still?" How? I'm afraid that's a price you can't afford. "
She saw a touch of contempt in his fleeting smile.
Such a despise made the rebellious feeling on her body stand up, "The price of a job is not something I can bear."
"Oh? Are you sure you want to take it? " There was a hint of amusement in his eyes, and the sight of it caused her to want to struggle. It was like an invisible thread had wrapped itself around her heart, and she was willing to be caught in it. Update First Time
"Why not?" She did not want to be a puppet that he could manipulate as he wished, but it was she who had unknowingly tied a stronger shackle on herself.
"Yu, bring in the agreement you made last time." After hanging up the phone, Liao Zhenbo lightly knocked the table with his ten fingers. He leaned back in his chair and calmly looked at Fu Xiaoqian with his light brown eyes. He then pointed to the chair in front of his desk. "Sit."
A strange atmosphere pervaded the air between them, but Fu Xiaoqian, who did not want to easily lose, chose to ignore it. He straightened his back, walked over, and sat down. Only that pair of watery eyes looked left and right, revealing her mood.
The door was forcefully pushed open by someone from outside, and a person bustled with energy as he walked in. Without even thinking about it, Liao Zhenbo knew who it was. It was only when the person who entered walked up to him and handed the documents over did he turn his head slightly.
The person who came in was the imperial lawyer of the Liao Corporation and Liao Zhenbo's best brother, Li Haoyu.
"Boss, here you go."
When Liao Zhenbo asked him to bring the document in, he already knew that Fu Xiaoqian was in the office. However, he pretended to be surprised to see Fu Xiaoqian.
"Hey, sister-in-law, you're here too?"
Although his words were directed at Fu Xiaoqian, his pair of peach blossom eyes slanted at Liao Zhenbo, giving him a question mark that he was sure he would do so.
How could Liao Zhenbo not understand the meaning behind her brother's gaze? However, he did not want to gamble and did not have the time to wait. That person was coming back early, otherwise she would only be further away from him. Update First Time
"You are?" Fu Xiaoqian raised her index finger and pointed it at her lower jaw, as if she was trying hard to find the outline of this person's memories in her mind.
"Don't you remember me?" Li Haoyu pretended to be somewhat disappointed, "It looks like I have to formally introduce myself." He extended his right hand towards Fu Xiaoqian in a courteous manner.
"Li Haoyu, lawyer" was intercepted by Liao Zhenbo.
He took the document, opened it, flipped to the last page, pointed to the signature bar, and pushed it in front of her.
"If you sign it, your friend can come to work right away, and I'll give her a senior position."
Immediately? And the highest? To be able to do something so easily and so perfectly for her good friend, she was extremely excited. She was afraid that this perfect opportunity would slip away in a flash, so without thinking, she signed her name in the position Liao Zhenbo had pointed out.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you going to take a look …?" Li Haoyu knew that Liao Zhenbo was playing with fire right now, but he didn't expect Fu Xiaoqian to jump into the fire so recklessly. Such an action could be described as suicide. He couldn't help but 'kindly' remind Fu Xiaoqian.
"Since she has already signed, your mission is done. Take the documents out."
Liao Zhenbo closed the document, thinking that Li Haoyu would fly away and stop him from saying any more nonsense.
Li Haoyu raised his arm and received the murderous gaze from Liao Zhenbo, causing him to swallow the rest of his words. It seemed that his boss was determined to burn this fire to the end, and since he was willing to take a beating, there was no need for him to appear here again.
"You can take half a day off today and come to work with your good friend tomorrow."
"Me?" With disbelief, she dragged out her words and pointed at herself. "Isn't it just Mu Huan?"
"It's already stated in the agreement." He reopened the document, his long, thick eyelashes drooping to conceal the pride in his eyes from the success of his treacherous scheme, as well as his unforeseen melancholy towards the future.
Ah … Yes, the agreement.
She seemed to have just passed through the most important part.
She remembered that the person called Li Haoyu seemed to have warned her about something earlier, but she was somehow stopped by this man.
Fu Xiaoqian, who had calmed down from her excitement just now, realized that he was leading her by the nose once again.
If her eyes could kill, they would have transformed into two sharp swords that pierced through his head and body, cutting him into two halves. However, these were only her fantasies. All she could do now was forcefully suppress the raging anger in her heart.
At least in terms of momentum, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage. An elegant smile suddenly appeared on his face as he politely asked, "Boss Liao, which department do I have to report to tomorrow?"
"Report directly to me." He said it lightly, as if it were routine, but his heart had long since grown impatient for the early arrival of the next day, even if it was only half a day, and he felt as if every second was a year.
"Oh …" Maybe he hadn't decided what position he was going to give her, she thought, getting up and pacing toward the door.
