Chapter 601: What A Messy Circle (24)

“Help me to follow up with the Taisen Company. Don’t wait for me to do everything. I’m not God. Things will not get settled with a wave of my hand. Also, human resources department, do not hire all kinds of weird people into the company! The looks and abilities must be on the same level! As for the finance department…”

Boom!

The door of the meeting room was pushed open and Ming Shu’s sentence was cut off.

A young man stood at the door with a red face. He was panting heavily. He looked past all the people in the meeting room and focused his gaze on Ming Shu.

Lu Zhuo found out about the explosion and came all the way back from the production set. His heart only calmed down after he saw that Ming Shu was okay.

He didn’t know why he was so worried about her.

Maybe it was because if something happened to her, he wouldn’t be able to complete his task.

It must be that!

Lu Zhuo found a perfect excuse for himself.

“That…” Lu Zhuo stepped back calmly. “Please continue.”

How long ago was the explosion? A few hours only, right? How can she just sit down and have a meeting as though nothing happened? I am really impressed by her.

F**k, she made me worried for nothing!

Lu Zhuo took a few deep breaths and prepared to leave. The door of the meeting room opened and the people inside swarmed out. They looked at him with curious, thankful, and ambiguous gazes.

Lu Zhuo: “…” Why are you all looking at me with gratitude?

They were thankful that Lu Zhuo appeared at the right time. If not, they would have been scolded badly. Once this person appeared, their useless boss said a few more words and ended the meeting.

Ming Shu was the last one to leave. Her hands were not filled with documents, but full of snacks.

“Have you finished filming?”

Lu Zhuo’s gaze went past her and landed on the plant at the side. “Nope.”

“Then why are you back? Is there an Oscars award waiting for you at the company?”

Lu Zhuo cursed as he lowered his head. “I’m worried about you. Are you okay?”

If Lu Zhuo lifted his head now, he would see the smile in Ming Shu’s eyes. It was a different kind of smile. She was looking at him in a doting manner.

However, her words were not doting at all. “I can jump around and eat perfectly fine.”

If I can gain Hatred Points, I will still give it a try. What if I succeed?

Lu Zhuo didn’t know what Ming Shu was thinking. He was almost going to explode. Is this how she treats someone who is concerned about her?

Someone like her, she will either be alone till old age or die when she’s young.

This crazy person needs my help to save her.

Everybody is responsible for caring for a psychopath!

Lu Zhuo finished mocking Ming Shu and caught up with her. He entered her office. “The explosion was directed at you, right?”

Ming Shu was speechless. “I thought you knew.”

Lu Zhuo blinked and seemed innocent. “Why would I know about it?”

Is she suspecting me? When did I let it slip that I want to kill her?

Ming Shu sat on her presidential chair and lifted her legs. She didn’t answer his question. “Did you tell Lin Wenyue that you came back?”

Lu Zhuo’s expression changed. Coincidently, his phone rang. It was Lin Wenyue.

At the start, Lu Zhuo didn’t bother with Lin Wenyue. However, the more he interacted with him, the more he realized that he was actually a strong and oppressive person.

He might not scold you or even say anything harsh to you. His character was really good.

However, he would take his revenge in other ways and you would not be able to find ways to refute him.

Lu Zhuo went around the table and stuffed the phone into Ming Shu’s hand. “Boss Xu, help me pick it up.”

Ming Shu jerked her chin at him. “Beg me.”

Beg you head! If I didn’t come back to see you, Lin Wenyue would not have caught my pigtail!

Calm down!

Isn’t it just begging her!

Keep calm! I can win this!

Lu Zhuo used his character profile fully and adjusted his facial expression. He swung her hand pitifully. “Please, Boss Xu.”

Ming Shu pressed the call button and Lin Wenyue’s voice sounded. It was neither fast nor slow. “Mister Lu Zhuo, do you know how much you delay the progression of the production when you leave without telling anyone?”

“Lu Zhuo is with me.” Ming Shu glanced at Lu Zhuo. “I will send him back to the crew in a little while.”

Lin Wenyue kept silent for a while. He might have remembered the news. “I have already communicated with the production crew. They will not film any of his scenes today.”

Boss Xu, this is all I can do to help you.

Ming Shu returned the phone to Lu Zhuo.

Lu Zhuo lowered his head and kissed Ming Shu’s face. His tone was happy. “Thanks, Boss Xu.”

Ming Shu’s eyes darkened and she grabbed her hand. Lu Zhuo looked at her and gave a handsome and bright smile. Ming Shu put down her legs and sat up straight. “Lu Zhuo, didn’t anyone tell you to not provoke the president?”

“Nope.” After all, I was a president last time too. “Boss Xu, do you think that this appreciation gift is not enough?”

Lu Zhuo suddenly leaned forward and turned the chair, trapping Ming Shu between his arms and the chair.

The face in front of Ming Shu got bigger and their lips touched. Every single one of his kisses was seductive. The places that he kissed felt numb as though there was electricity passing through it. It made her mind blank.

After a few minutes, Lu Zhuo let go of Ming Shu and asked seriously, “Is this enough to show my sincerity?”

Ming Shu’s lips were slightly red. She lifted her hand and wiped them. “Your kissing technique is too lousy.”

Lu Zhuo: “…” F**k!

Why were you enjoying it so much if it’s lousy? Liar!

Lu Zhuo released his hand and turned around angrily. “Boss Xu, you have not told me what exactly happened with the explosion?”

Don’t think that I will forget about that! Impossible!!

“How would I know? You can ask the police. They might know something.”

Ming Shu didn’t want to say anything so no matter how much Lu Zhuo tried, it was useless. Lu Zhuo was really angry.

Lu Zhuo sat on the office desk and leaned forward slightly. His gaze landed on the documents in Ming Shu’s hands. He asked casually, “Boss Xu, what is our relationship now?”

Ming Shu asked him back, “Do you like me?”

“I thought it was quite obvious,” Lu Zhuo said. “Since you don’t know, I will say it. I like you.”

Ming Shu nodded.

Lu Zhuo: “…” Why are you nodding your head!

Say something!

“So, Boss Xu, what is our relationship now?”

Ming Shu replied without lifting her head, “You want to sleep with me but I don’t want to sleep with you.”

In conclusion, Lu Zhuo was on the losing end.

Lu Zhuo understood the hidden meaning behind the sentence and anger flared up in his heart.

“You—” Lu Zhuo slammed the table with gusto. “How can I make you sleep with me?!”

Ming Shu closed her documents and placed her chin on her hands. “Why must I sleep with you? I don’t like you so why must I sleep with someone I don’t like? I don’t have a tendency to abuse myself.”

“Why don’t you like me?” Will you die from liking me?!

“I don’t like you means I don’t like you.”

“How will you know if you don’t try?”

Ming Shu started talking nonsense. “I believe in love at first sight.”

Lu Zhuo was not convinced. “Love will come with time too!”

Ming Shu said seriously, “I’m asexual.”

Lu Zhuo: “…”

Lu Zhuo almost fell down from the desk. He was speaking nicely. Why was she moving the conversation in a weird direction!
