From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Just as Lu Yunzhou was about to answer, his secretary handed him an urgent document from behind Shen Luoyan.

Shen Luoyan lowered her head, took the pen, and remained standing at the office door.

A few steps away, she could see the meeting area just by looking up.

Ning Shuang made a move at that moment.

The folder blocked Shen Luoyan's view, and her right arm shot out from below, her elbow striking Lu Yunzhou's ribs.

Lu Yunzhou stepped aside and pressed his palm against her forearm.

Ning Shuang leaned closer, her heel striking his instep, causing the steel ruler hidden in the lining to slide out.

The edge of the ruler brushed against Lu Yunzhou's shirt, leaving a shallow mark on his waist.

Ning Shuang is going to attack again.

Lu Yunzhou grabbed her wrist and used the momentum to pull her towards the conference table.

Ning Shuang had injured her left shoulder and couldn't fight him head-on, so she could only raise her elbow and slam it against the edge of the table.

"Snapped!"

The heavy glass partition cracked, and the cracks spread out in all directions.

A piece of glass near the corner of the table fell off and shattered on the ground.

The project model of the old port in South Bay was also affected; several plastic buildings tilted, and a dock crane rolled under the table.

Ning Shuang didn't even turn her head.

She switched the steel ruler to her right hand and swept it towards Lu Yunzhou's neck again.

This woman clearly has no intention of stopping.

Lu Yunzhou was furious.

He didn't want to expose his strength at the company, nor could he let Ning Shuang continue to cause trouble, so he grabbed the metal filing cabinet next to him and pushed it horizontally between the two of them.

Ning Shuang slammed her palm down on the cabinet door.

"Thump!"

The cabinet, which was half a person tall, slid out half a meter, leaving a deep dent in the cabinet door.

The file boxes inside were scattered all over the floor, and dozens of documents were laid out in front of Shen Luoyan's office door.

Lu Yunzhou lifted his foot to support the tilted cabinet.

Ning Shuang tried to walk around, but the pen in the secretary's hand fell to the ground.

Shen Luoyan had already raised her head.

Ning Shuang put away the steel ruler and clipped the document back into place.

Lu Yunzhou steadied the cabinet, and the two of them took a step back, neither of them making another move.

The sound of high heels grew closer.

Shen Luoyan stepped over the documents scattered on the floor, first looking at the cracked partition, then at the deformed cabinet door.

The filing cabinet knocked her desk askew, and two cracks appeared on the glass tabletop.

She pointed to the desk: "I just signed something, and you guys smashed my desk?"

Lu Yunzhou and Ning Shuang exchanged a glance.

The two who were just now attacking each other brutally now seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Whoever lets slip first will have to explain why the fight started.

Ning Shuang closed the folder: "The base of the project model was loose, and when Mr. Lu went to fix it, he bumped into the glass partition."

Lu Yunzhou straightened the plastic crane: "There are casters under the cabinet. It only stopped when it hit the corner of the table. Everything just happened at the same time."

The two spoke smoothly, even matching the order in which the damage occurred.

Shen Luoyan did not press further.

She bent down and picked up a model base; all the screws were still in place.

The filing cabinet's four wheels are also locked, making it impossible to move with ordinary bumps.

The deep pit on the cabinet door is even harder to explain.

Lu Yunzhou's shirt was missing a button, and the fabric at his waist had been cut open by a steel ruler.

Ning Shuang's left sleeve was frayed, and her shoulder was still very tight.

The claim that the model collapsed is completely untenable.

Shen Luoyan put the base back on the table and told her secretary to go and handle other work.

The old port of Nanwan is at a critical stage. If Lu Yunzhou and the risk control director were to take action within the company, it would only cause controversy if word got out.

Ning Shuang took the initiative to pay the repair costs, and then left, citing the need to file the risk list.

She stopped at the door.

She turned and stared at Lu Yunzhou, the warning in her eyes plain to see.

This score isn't settled yet.

Lu Yunzhou adjusted his collar to meet her gaze.

The fox mask was still in his hands; Ning Shuang wanted to take it back, knowing she would come looking for him again sooner or later.

The office door closed.

Shen Luoyan picked up two documents and stopped, then kicked the rest of the materials next to the cabinet.

She stared at Lu Yunzhou: "What old grudges do you have with Ning Shuang?"

Lu Yunzhou touched the gash on his side: "We met once before. She wouldn't admit it, so I tested her."

Shen Luoyan's expression did not soften.

Try it and you'll be able to punch a dent in the metal cabinet; you can't believe a word these two people say.

Lu Yunzhou did not reveal Nightingale's identity.

With Su Qingwan and Xiao Sihai behind Ning Shuang, Shen Luoyan's life won't be peaceful once she gets involved.

He changed the subject, inquiring when Ning Shuang would join the Fengming Group.

Shen Luoyan returned to her computer and pulled up the personnel files.

Ning Shuang has been with the company for less than a month and is the newly hired Project Risk Control Director of Fengming Group.

She was responsible for all the risk assessments of the South Bay Old Port and the East Suburb Resort.

She used to work for an overseas consulting firm and worked on several large projects.

After reviewing her resume, Feng Qianyi personally arranged for someone to contact her, and that's how she was invited to Sheng'an.

The HR department checked her background.

Identity, education, and work records can all be traced back to their source.

Ning Shuang rented an apartment in Sheng'an and usually stayed alone, never attending private gatherings.

After get off work, even people at the company couldn't contact her.

In her public records over the past five years, she has had no boyfriend or close male friends.

Lu Yunzhou's head throbbed more and more as he listened.

For a professional assassin to be able to maintain such a sophisticated identity, there must be someone helping him behind the scenes.

She may not have joined Fengming Group just for a salary.

The old port of Nanwan was the project he was preparing to take over.

From now on, the two will see each other quite often.

Shen Luoyan closed the file page: "Are you asking such detailed questions because you're afraid she'll come and kill you?"

Lu Yunzhou stroked his chin: "I think she's a good catch. If I pursue her seriously, I can win her over in three days."

Shen Luoyan's hand stopped on the mouse.

She turned her chair around, revealing her snow-white calves from under her skirt, and her heels tapped on the floor.

He maintained the composure expected of a director, but his hand gripped the document tightly.

Lu Yunzhou knew from her expression that the joke had gone too far.

He just got promoted from probation last night, and today he dares to say to my face that he's pursuing another woman. No one can tolerate that.

Shen Luoyan slapped the document on his chest: "Go after him. After you catch him, don't ever come into my apartment again."

Lu Yunzhou held her waist and pulled her into his arms: "I teased you about her to see if you'd get jealous. I asked about her because I was worried she might harm you. The one I can't truly let go of is you."

Shen Luoyan bumped into his chest, her hand pressing against his shirt.

The man's heat pressed against her, making her ears burn, but the heat on her face didn't subside.

She looked up at him and said, "Don't try to fool me with those kinds of words. You just agreed to make breakfast last night, and you're already making me suffer today."

Lu Yunzhou leaned closer and said, "Then I'll make it up to you tonight. We'll still go to your place."

Shen Luoyan's breathing faltered.

She went over and closed the blinds, then locked the office door.

As Lu Yunzhou watched her approach again, his Adam's apple bobbed twice, and the anger Ning Shuang had brought earlier dissipated.

Shen Luoyan shoved the project assessment into his arms: "Fix the table first. If you can't fix it, you'll sleep in the living room tonight."

Lu Yunzhou hugged her tightly, pressing his face against her hair.

This time, Shen Luoyan didn't push her away.
