n fire, you're still sleeping Wake up!"The woman on the chaise lounge, visibly impatient, finally sat up, supporting herself on the chaise lounge with a groan, amidst the strange tone of the maid's v...Jian Tong once again walked out of the conference room, Kane seeing her off, seeming to have had a good conversation.

Vivian first saw Jian Tong's figure and was about to ask, "Is it settled"

A tall figure appeared before everyone.

"This is..."

"Let me introduce, this is Cain Feroch, the representative of the other party's company," Jian Tong moved aside.

Vivian, as the project lead, naturally stepped forward and extended her hand. "Hello, Mr. Felocchi," she said, "I'm in charge of..."

"Vivian, I will be handling this project this time."

Jian Tong interrupted Vivian softly.

Vivian's eyes showed confusion.

"Let's talk about this later," Jian Tong whispered in Vivian's ear.

Kane Ferrell personally escorted the person to the front door.

His female secretary beside him flashed a surprise in her eyes, and took another glance at Jian Tong... This mysterious CEO didn't often appear in City S. It was rumored that his industrial chain was extensive, and this company was just one of them, not particularly eye-catching. The last time this mysterious CEO appeared in this company was three years ago.

One more time… I’ve already forgotten when it was.

It is clear that Cain Veloci, the mysterious backer of this company, doesn't care about its condition.

However, this collaboration with the Jian family from the same city was personally requested by the mysterious CEO and he even proposed to meet with Mr. Jian, the head of the other company, in person.

Kane Ferrero, wealthy and handsome, with an air of mystery. Such a man is undoubtedly the diamond king in the eyes of many women.

However, he made an exception to work with Jian Shi and proposed a personal meeting with his representative.

The female secretary took a deep look at Jian Tong... besides being the CEO of Jian Corporation, there was nothing special about this Miss Jian.

In terms of appearance, there are many people in the company who are more beautiful than Ms. Jian. In terms of figure, it goes without saying that they are even better. Even she herself is more attractive than Ms. Jian's looks.

She had heard rumors that this mysterious foreign CEO was a notorious womanizer, but... Miss Jian didn't seem like the type at all.

Kane Feroche watched the slender figure get into the car, watching it drive away until it disappeared from view.

"President, who are you planning to have follow up on this project"

The female secretary quietly stepped forward, seemingly nothing amiss. However, on the man's handsome and profound features, a pair of eyes, half-smiling and half-frowning, cast down their gaze over the female secretary beside him. That look seemed to pierce through every intention.

"Is a secretary's duty also to seduce the CEO" Cain Ferrochi looked at her with a half-smile.

The latter's delicately sculpted face froze into a smile, "I... I don't understand what you mean, Mr. President."

She spoke stiffly, a single phrase tumbling from her lips.

A hand suddenly reached out, a finger gently nudging the female secretary who was almost clinging to him, then lifting his head, lips curving into a smile: "Now, do you understand"

Having said that, he was no longer interested in hearing the explanation from this strange woman. It was simply tedious. He had seen such seductive tactics countless times and did not want to watch this bizarre woman preen and posture before him any longer.

Turning gracefully, he strode away.

Before leaving, he couldn't resist adding: "Oh, by the way, no one has ever told you this, but your perfume doesn't suit you."

"Next time, please use the genuine product."

The female secretary's face flushed red, then paled, as she stomped her foot in frustration. She had only seen that young miss from the Jian family, Jian Tong. If a woman as plain as Jian Tong could capture the heart of this wealthy and handsome mysterious CEO, why couldn't she

It was just a casual probe, but I didn't expect to be humiliated beyond belief.

Jian Tong asked Vivian to take him straight to Ginza Garden.

"You and that Cain Ferroch knew each other" Vivian asked as they were getting off the car.

Jian Tong gave a vague "um": "We've met a few times."

"Didn't we already agree that I would be in charge of this project"

"Don't overthink it, there are some aspects of this project that still need me to follow up on. As for you, Vivian, you've been working so hard for so long, take a break for yourself."

Vivian's eyes held a hint of doubt, but she didn't voice it. She simply nodded. "Okay, since you're leaving work early today, you might as well take a day off for yourself and have a good rest."

When Jian Tong left, Vivienne only then frowned her pretty brows. In some ways, Vivienne still understood Jian Tong.

For example, when Jian Tong just said "Don't overthink it," that's a classic case of "there being no silver in three hundred taels."

Other people might not notice this little detail, but Vivian would.

Then, she remembered Jian Tong going in and out of that meeting room at the other company just now, and also recalled that when they first met, the other party had made a strange request - to meet Jian Tong alone.

She had a bad feeling in her gut, but couldn't put her finger on it.

Jian Tong took the elevator. The moment the doors opened, she absolutely didn't expect to see this!

A mess everywhere!

In the open kitchen, dishes were shattered on the floor, and water flowed "glug glug," flooding the entire place.

A surge of anger rose within her, and she strode forward, "Shen Xiujin! What the... did you do!"

That rage, upon drawing nearer, saw the blood on the ground, drop by drop, horrifying in its vivid redness!

Suddenly, I felt a inexplicable panic!

"Shen Xiujin, come out! What happened"

She frantically searched, her face paling at the sight of the blood all over the floor.

She called out three times, but there was no response.

"Shen Xiujin, where are you Are you there"

She was so flustered that she didn't dare to go any further.

A voice, soft and low, came from under the kitchen sink: "Big sister, Xiu..."

She suddenly turned her head and, following the sound, saw a figure emerge from behind the kitchen sink, looking sheepish.

Quickly glancing up and down the man, he didn't see any signs of injury.

A glint of his eye caught sight of the mess on the floor, shattered plates and bowls, water spreading everywhere. Instantly, that surge of anger welled up again.

From anger, to anxious worry about whether this person was injured, and finally, the ground was still in disarray, but the person was unharmed. The anger then died down, replaced by a resurgence of frustration.

For this little incident, Jian Tong didn't think much about it. She couldn't understand why she reacted this way to him. Even though he had broken the dishes and flooded the house, if someone else had done this, she wouldn't have been so angry.

In her later years, Jian Tong dreamt of this scene once during an afternoon nap. At the time, she spent an entire afternoon pondering why.

Later, she understood.

Because of resentment, because it's him.the only thing she could do, was to love. Grand Elder Jian's domineering nature wouldn't allow Yiqi to manage anything about the Jian family, so he gave her a "love only."Lu Mingchu was a little angry...
