Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

Lu Hao?

Xiao Xiyue's eyelashes trembled, and she stopped tapping her fingers on the table.

"Send me the plan." She stared sharply at Xiaoli.

"Mr. Xiao... Mr. Xiao, the proposal was rejected by Manager Zhao." Xiao Li lowered her head, not daring to meet Xiao Xiyue's gaze.

Xiao Xiyue frowned slightly and waved her hand at the two of them, "Go out."

After the two left, she leaned back in her chair.

This Lu Hao seems to be quite something.

She took out her phone, looked at the message Lu Hao had just sent her, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

……

The coffee shop downstairs.

Xiao Xiyue went straight to the second floor and immediately saw Lu Hao sitting in the corner.

The rhythmic clatter of high heels made Lu Hao turn around, and he saw Xiao Xiyue sitting down in front of him.

"So soon?" Lu Hao was a little surprised. He had arranged to meet Xiao Xiyue at noon.

"You won't even buy me a cup of coffee?" Xiao Xiyue placed her slender hand on the table and tapped it lightly twice, her tone indifferent.

Lu Hao pursed his lips, waved to the waiter, and had a cup of coffee served to her.

Looking at the indifferent Xiao Xiyue, Lu Hao found it hard to connect her with the intimate scene from last night.

"Have you looked into that plan?"

"I've seen it, Zhang Xiang's plan is indeed quite good."

Lu Hao was startled and blurted out, "So you're planning to use his plan?"

Xiao Xiyue did not answer, but silently took a sip of coffee.

The more she acted this way, the more anxious Lu Hao became.

"You're so heartless! I made you feel so comfortable last night, and you won't even help with this little thing?"

Xiao Xiyue glared coldly at Lu Hao. "I only said his plan was good. When did I say we were going to use his plan?"

"Then... what exactly do you mean?" Lu Hao was a little confused about the woman in front of him.

Send me your proposal, and I'll compare them carefully.

"Didn't I already send it to you?"

"I need to see the original version, and I also need to hear your own thoughts. Go back and reorganize them, then send them to me this afternoon."

After saying that, Xiao Xiyue finished her coffee in one gulp and left in her high heels without looking back.

Lu Hao rubbed his nose. This woman was really decisive and efficient, so assertive that she didn't even give him a chance to argue.

Comparatively speaking, Lu Hao still felt that Xiao Xiyue was easier to get along with at night.

He didn't linger and rushed back to the company to get busy.

Lu Hao reorganized the plan, putting all his skills into it and adding some improvements to the original.

After sending the email to Xiao Xiyue, Lu Hao leaned back in his office chair and let out a long sigh.

Since she's given me this opportunity, it should work out, right?

He was still very confident about the plan.

"What have you been busy with all afternoon?" Lin Ran walked up behind Lu Hao, looking at his tired face, and asked with concern.

"It's still that planning proposal from Xiyue Apparel. I sent it over again, and I'll definitely get a reply before I leave work." Lu Hao looked up at the two towering figures. Then he moved his head and finally saw Lin Ran's face clearly.

"You sent another one?"

"I've made some improvements."

Lin Ran shook her head helplessly, placed her hands on Lu Hao's shoulders, and gently massaged them.

"You're wasting your time; they won't even glance at you."

"Beautiful Lin, how about we make a bet?"

Lin Ran smiled, leaned forward slightly, her weight pressing down on Lu Hao's shoulder, and teased, "Oh, how do you want to bet?"

"If my proposal gets approved before I leave work, you'll treat me to a meal," Lu Hao said, raising an eyebrow.

Lin Ran smiled slightly. "If it doesn't go through, you can come with me to another company."

"no problem!"

After making an appointment with Lin Ran, Lu Hao enjoyed a massage and then got up to go to the smoking area.

I took out a cigarette, lit it, and the smoke swirled around my eyes.

He kept checking the time; there were still twenty minutes until he got off work.

The plan had been sent to Xiao Xiyue almost ten minutes ago, but there was still no reply, which made Lu Hao feel uneasy.

Is this woman making fun of herself?

Just as Lu Hao stubbed out his fourth cigarette, Lin Ran opened the door and walked in.

The strong smell of smoke made her frown. She waved her small hand in front of her and said to Lu Hao, "Lu Hao, you really do have some skills."

"What do you mean?" Lu Hao asked instinctively.

"The higher-ups just announced that our plan has been approved."

Lu Hao was overjoyed, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally put at ease.

It seems that Xiao Xiyue's side directly connected with their own company.

He let out a long breath and smiled at Lin Ran, "Remember, a meal."

"Don't even mention one meal, a whole week is fine too." Lin Ran's tone softened.

She walked into the smoking area, closed the door behind her, and went straight to Lu Hao, putting one hand on his shoulder.

"Lu Hao, you really are my strategist!"

Before Lu Hao could even react, he felt a soft touch on his lips.

Just as he was about to retaliate, the soft touch vanished instantly.

"I need to take care of some things now. I'll make arrangements for dinner tomorrow."

Lin Ran left without looking back, her high heels clicking as she walked away.

Lu Hao touched his lips and pursed them slightly, as if he could still feel the gentle touch.

He didn't have any strong feelings about Lin Ran, after all, in his eyes, Lin Ran was a "good woman".

If he really does something that goes beyond friendship with the other person, he'll have to take responsibility.

Lu Hao felt that he couldn't give Lin Ran the future she wanted, nor was he the person she wanted to spend her life with.

As he walked out of the company building, Lu Hao looked around to make sure that Su Yu hadn't shown up for the day before he felt relieved.

Su Yu came over to wait for him every day for the past few days, which almost gave him a phobia of her.

Lu Hao hopped on a shared bike and leisurely rode it towards his rented apartment.

The bustling city life belongs to others; once you turn into that dilapidated alley, the world's background music changes.

Lu Hao returned to the building where he rented the apartment, parked his car, and looked around, but did not see any of the familiar little stray dogs.

"That's strange. Where did Big Yellow and the others go?" He frowned and muttered to himself.

Whenever he returned, his gang of lackeys would be wagging their tails and rushing to greet him.

But in the last two days, I haven't seen a single dog.

I guess they were recruited by the "Light of the Right Path".

Lu Hao curled his lip, after all, this city can accommodate thousands of lights, but it cannot accommodate a single meal's kindness.

As soon as I opened the door to the rented room, a rich fragrance filled my nostrils.

Braised pork trotters, sweet and sour pork ribs, and smashed cucumber.

He looked towards the restaurant and saw Ning Shu having dinner with two women.

When Ning Shu saw Lu Hao, her face flushed. She quickly got up, took Lu Hao's hand, and led him to the balcony. She lowered her voice and said, "Lu Hao... today is my birthday... I invited some friends over for dinner. Please don't mind."

Lu Hao was taken aback. Was today Ning Shu's birthday?

"It's alright, it's alright, you guys eat. I just remembered something, I'll go out for a bit."

"Are you coming back for dinner? I'll save some for you."

"Okay."

After Lu Hao finished speaking, he walked into the living room, smiled and greeted Ning Shu's two friends, and then opened the door and left.
