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

Lu Hao lazily turned his head, looked at Xiao Xiyue's angry eyes, pursed his lips, and said, "I didn't know. I can't just come out naked. I'll buy you a shirt tomorrow."

"snort!"

Xiao Xiyue grunted, turned around and walked to the dining table, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

Lu Hao smiled, ladled the ginger and brown sugar water that had been simmering in the pot into a bowl, and placed it in front of Xiao Xiyue.

"Come on, try Chef Lu's secret ginger tea. It's warming and good for ladies."

Xiao Xiyue glanced at him with her cool gaze, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and brought it to her lips. Her alluring lips parted slightly, she blew on it before putting it in her mouth.

The spicy ginger flavor explodes on the tip of the tongue, then is enveloped by the warm and sweet brown sugar. A warm current slides down the throat, dispelling the lingering chill in the body.

Suddenly, her clear, cold eyes lit up.

"good."

"Absolutely," Lu Hao raised an eyebrow smugly, "This is something I'm an old hand at, a real pro."

"It seems you've cooked for a lot of people."

Lu Hao, who was feeling smug, froze with a smile.

He didn't answer the potentially fatal question. He coughed lightly, got up and went into the kitchen, served himself a bowl, sat down opposite Xiao Xiyue, and buried his head in his drink.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, broken only by the soft sounds of the two of them drinking their soup.

After drinking a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water, Xiao Xiyue felt completely revitalized. She took out a tissue and gracefully wiped her pink lips.

"Come work for my company, and I'll give you the position of acting manager in the planning department."

"What?" Lu Hao paused, holding the bowl, his eyes filled with surprise.

What's going on today? Did the sun rise in the west?

First, Su Yu came to persuade them, and now Xiao Xiyue is personally trying to poach them.

When did I become so sought after?

"Monthly salary of 20,000, plus a commission on the company's turnover."

"Holy crap, are you serious?" Lu Hao exclaimed in surprise.

This treatment was something he never dared to dream of before!

A base salary of 20,000 yuan a month is enough for him to live a carefree life in this city, not to mention the incredibly tempting sales commission...

For a fleeting moment, Lu Hao's heart truly wavered.

Compared to Su Yu, Xiao Xiyue's offer gave him a thousand reasons to immediately agree.

But... it was too late.

He is now planning to start his own business and there is no reason for him to give up.

"It's tempting, but I refuse," Lu Hao said seriously.

Xiao Xiyue was surprised. Her bright eyes stared straight at Lu Hao. "Reason?"

Lu Hao grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and said smugly, "I've already decided to go it alone. I'll start by setting up a planning studio, and once it's big enough, I'll move into GG Company."

"Oh?" Xiao Xiyue was quite surprised, her eyes full of admiration. "Ambitious, not bad."

"Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend." Lu Hao flipped his non-existent bangs in a flamboyant manner.

Xiao Xiyue was amused by his appearance, and her cool eyebrows curved into a beautiful crescent moon.

She rested her chin on her hand, her eyes sparkling with a languid allure: "Then... from now on, all of my company's sales plans will be yours."

Now it was Lu Hao's turn to be surprised. Although Xiao Xiyue's suggestion was good, he felt that it was not something he had won through his own strength, but rather through personal connections.

"I say, isn't this decision a bit too hasty?" Lu Hao asked tentatively.

"I trust you!"

Lu Hao fell silent.

These three words again.

He had heard these words from Su Yu, Lin Ran, and even Zhou Mengmeng.

Does she really possess such great charm that these four people believe in her so much?

"Don't overthink it. I was very satisfied with the planning you did for our company last time, as well as the planning you did for Yunlan Company."

Upon hearing this explanation, Lu Hao felt inexplicably relieved.

He looked up at Xiao Xiyue and smiled, "Okay, then you'll be my big client from now on."

Xiao Xiyue gracefully tossed a strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes alluring, and pursed her lips, her breath sweet as orchids: "Then... you can fulfill all of the client's requirements, right?"

"Of course," Lu Hao replied firmly.

Xiao Xiyue smiled even more charmingly.

She stood up, walked around the dining table, and came step by step to Lu Hao.

She leaned forward slightly, and beneath the V-neck of her thin silk nightgown, a tempting glimpse of snow-white skin was revealed.

She rested her head on Lu Hao's cheek, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe, and her lips parted slightly.

"**!"

……

The next day, after leaving Xiao Xiyue's house, Lu Hao immediately began the company registration process.

As a first-time boss, he was completely figuring things out as he went, overwhelmed by all the forms and procedures.

Fortunately, he now has a "top mentor".

He shamelessly asked Xiao Xiyue about some matters related to registering a company, and she gave him a few key tips, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Before we knew it, it was Thursday.

More than half a month later, Lin Ran's message popped up on Lu Hao's phone again.

Your salary has been deposited into your account. Please remember to check it.

【it is good. 】

Lu Hao looked at their chat box; Lin Ran didn't reply.

He wanted to ask Yunlan Company whether the scandal had actually broken out and how she had handled it, but after typing a few words, he deleted them all, unsure of where to begin.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Hao's fingers flew across the screen.

Are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner.

【it is good! 】

Lu Hao reminded himself that this meal was only to thank Lin Ran for taking care of him over the past two years, and to ask about Yunlan Company.

After all, Lin Ran had been the one treating him almost every year for the past two years, and he hadn't properly reciprocated even once.

I checked the time; it was still early.

Lu Hao called the real estate agent he had previously contacted and asked him to contact the landlord to sign the lease agreement for the studio and pay the rent in full.

The agent was very efficient; he got it done in just one hour.

Holding the lease agreement and keys, Lu Hao returned to the house that held his dreams.

He opened the door, put the contract on the table, rolled up his sleeves, and single-handedly rearranged several desks in the living room to make them more functional.

He then went downstairs to the supermarket and bought buckets, mops, and some cleaning supplies. He spent a full four hours cleaning and wiping down the living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and the bathroom.

It wasn't until the last rays of the setting sun streamed through the window that he finally plopped down in his office chair, exhausted. Looking at the newly renovated office area, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

He believes that before long, this place will be filled with a group of young people with dreams.

After leaving the house, he returned to his rented room and ran into Ning Shu, who was getting ready to leave for work.

"Lu Hao, have you had dinner yet? If not, there's some food in the fridge. I made extra," Ning Shu said softly when she saw him.

"I'm not eating, I have plans to meet someone tonight."

"Hmm... I'll go to work now." A hint of disappointment flashed in Ning Shu's eyes.

Go ahead, be careful on the road.

Lu Hao didn't pay much attention. He went into the bathroom, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went out.

This dinner tonight, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should be the last time he sees Lin Ran.
