Chapter 115: Avoiding Suspicion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
However, Cheng Lang may not be worried, but Xing Shu was. She refused. “President Cheng, if it’s for MOOL, I don’t think there’s a need for me to go on this business trip. As long as the founder doesn’t change his mind, I don’t agree to invest.”
Cheng Lang asked, “Xing Shu, what are you resisting?”
His topic changed so quickly that Xing Shu could not react for a moment. She took half a second to recover and waved her hand. “President Cheng, I’m not resisting the business trip. I just…” Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Lang stopped her. “If you’re not resisting the business trip, then you’re resisting me and trying to avoid suspicion?”
Xing Shu was completely dumbstruck. The two senior management personnel were still sitting on the couch. She pretended to be puzzled. “President Cheng, what are you talking about?”
Just then, Jian Yaochuan coughed and raised his hand to signal to the two senior management personnel who promptly stood up and left. Before they left, they heard Cheng Lang say coldly to Xing Shu, “Avoid suspicion with me.
Can you?” The door closed completely, and they could not hear a single sound. Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two senior management personnel. They looked at each other. They did not get to where they were without knowing what was discretion—they had to keep their mouth shut about the relationship between Xing Shu and Cheng Lang. In addition, their attitude towards Xing Shu in the future… At least before Cheng Lang got tired of Xing Shu, they had to play nice and suck up to her.
When Xing Shu heard the door close, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Young Uncle, aren’t you afraid that they’ll spout nonsense?”
Cheng Lang said, “People who got to this position will have basic judgment.”
Xing Shu took her hat off him. She suddenly thought of the phone call he had made when she was having dinner with Jin Mo. A subtle glimmer of hope suddenly rose in her heart. Did he mind that she had a meal with Jin MO? Was that why he sent the messages and called? However, Xing Shu was afraid to ask. She was afraid that she was overthinking it. However, she had a question to ask. “Young Uncle, Is it true that the Cheng and Jin families are proposing a marriage alliance. Are you going to marry Jin Yue?”
Xing Shu thought that if Cheng Lang cared about her even a little, he would give a negative answer. However, Cheng Lang said, “I’m considering.” These words hit Xing Shu’s heart, calming her down instantly. However, she could not help but ask, “I heard that Miss Jin Yue is a shareholder of MOOL. What if she asks you to invest in MOOL?”
Cheng Lang replied, “I’ll refuse.”
Xing Shu smiled. It seemed that a marriage alliance could not change Cheng Lang’s principles after all. He was too cold and distant. Ordinary people’s feelings basically did not exist for him. Even if it were a request from his prospective spouse, he would not agree as long as he felt that it was unreasonable. “Buddha on Earth” was still the same—perched high up on the altar and untainted.
Xing Shu was a person who was good at adjusting her emotions. She threw that mote of romantic feeling to the back of her mind and analyzed MOOL seriously. “The company’s founder is a genius, but even a genius can fall prey to a common problem—focus on capital and lack the quality of service.” There are different types of entrepreneurs. Some people only enjoy the joy of creation and like the feeling of their creation being snatched up by others. They enjoy being praised by everyone. Some entrepreneurs hope that the things they developed could serve more people and bring change to more people. Obviously, the founder of MOOL was the former.
Xing Shu realized that Cheng Lang had come to her side and was looking at her. Xing Shu was puzzled. Before she could ask, he grabbed her wrist and walked towards the nap room. “President Cheng?”
In the next second, Xing Shu was pinned against the bed in the nap room. She was utterly dumbstruck. They were still at work. What was Cheng Lang trying to do?Just as she was about to get up, Cheng Lang wrapped his arms around her waist and carried her back. His hot breath purred beside her ear, and Xing
Shu’s heart thundered in her chest. “President Cheng, it’s working hours now.”
Cheng Lang chuckled and rubbed her waist suggestively with his fingers. “What is it you think I want to do to you?”
Xing Shu: “…” They were already on the bed. Other than hankypanky, what else could they do? Chat under the blanket?
Xing Shu did not want to get it on in the office. So, she forcefully diverted
Cheng Lang’s attention. “President Cheng, I haven’t finished speaking just now.
The last time I saw Ron, my conversation with him gave me a lot of inspiration. Although it’s a little unfair to compare the founder of MOOL to a business tycoon like Ron, I think a good founder should not only pursue money. I admit that the founder of MOOL’s first foray was successful as he attracted so many investments. But, he lacks the good qualities that an entrepreneur should have. He’s a good software developer, but he’s not a qualified company manager..”
