923 I Like This Gift Very Much
Lu Jin’s face showed no discomfort despite witnessing the intimacy between Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing. He stood there with a composed demeanor. His suit had a slightly casual style, which should have made him look relaxed, but due to his stern demeanor, the casual attire appeared as serious as a military uniform.
Shen Hanxing’s ears turned red instantly, and she quickly stepped back, leaving Ji Yan’s embrace. There were so many people at the banquet, but she and Ji Yan were hiding in this deserted place to be intimate. Now that someone had seen through them, she was a little embarrassed. However, with her strong mental fortitude, she managed to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and nodded at Lu Jin with a calm expression.
Suddenly, Ji Yan’s arms were empty. Although his expression remained unchanged, his aura instantly turned cold. His deep eyes seemed to hold a glint of danger as they directly focused on Lu Jin. “Since you know it’s not the right time, Mr. Lu, don’t you think it’s better to leave quietly?”
Ji Yan and Lu Jin were both exceptional men. As they faced each other, their gaze met, and there was an inexplicable tension, as if sparks of conflict were about to ignite.
“President Ji, please don’t blame me,” Lu Jin spoke first after a brief stalemate. He spread his hands, indicating that he harbored no ill intentions. “I didn’t mean to interrupt, but time is limited, and I had no choice but to speak up.”
Ji Yan gave him a cold glance.
“I haven’t congratulated Mrs. Ji yet.” Lu Jin smiled and turned his admiring gaze toward Shen Hanxing. “Mrs. Ji is truly impressive.” From their first meeting, he knew she was not an ordinary person. However, he never expected her to surprise him this much!
Shen Hanxing’s lips curled up, not overly indulging in Lu Jin’s praise. Her clear eyes sparkled as if she had a premonition. She smiled and spoke, her voice filled with anticipation. “Mr. Lu, since you’ve come to celebrate, did you bring any gifts?”
Shen Hanxing had a pair of beautiful eyes that could evoke anticipation in others, like sparkling stars.
No one could resist such eyes.
Lu Jin’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little awkward. “Since I came to congratulate you, of course, I prepared a gift.” He didn’t prolong the suspense and directly handed her a document. “I hope you will like it, Mrs. Ji.”
Shen Hanxing took the documents and glanced at them, only reading the title. A smile appeared in her eyes. It was Changhe Foreign Trade Company. Initially, due to Ji Mei’s arrest, the company was sealed off. After going through some twists and turns, the company ended up in her hands.
Shen Hanxing had long wanted to take over Changhe Foreign Trade Company, and now she finally had it. She couldn’t hide her happiness as she said, “Thank you, Mr. Lu. I like this gift.” Her gaze then fell on Ji Yan, and she smiled and said, “Of course, I have to thank Mr. Ji as well.”
Shen Hanxing knew that if it weren’t for Ji Yan’s mediation and guarantee, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to obtain the management rights of Changhe Foreign Trade Company. Instead of considering it a gift from Lu Jin, it was more like a gift from Ji Yan.
Ji Yan’s eyes were gentle as he squeezed Shen Hanxing’s finger and said, “This is what you deserve.” She was always outstanding, and he had only provided her with an opportunity. Whether she could seize it or not depended on herself, and Shen Hanxing had proven herself.
“This is not my gift.” Lu Jin coughed lightly and then presented another set of documents. He said calmly, “Actually, this is my gift.”
There was another gift? Shen Hanxing was momentarily stunned. She had only met Lu Jin a few times, and their encounters were brief exchanges with no real acquaintance. When she asked for a gift earlier, it was merely a guess that she might obtain the management rights of Changhe Foreign Trade Company. She used the pretext of a gift to test him, but she didn’t expect Lu Jin to prepare a gift for her.
Shen Hanxing hesitated for a moment, unsure if she should accept it. Sensing her hesitation, Lu Jin’s eyes flashed with a hint of darkness. However, upon closer observation, she noticed that his gaze remained unchanged. He calmly suggested, “Mrs. Ji, why don’t you take a look first? After reading it, you can consider whether or not to accept.”
Since Lu Jin had put it that way, Shen Hanxing couldn’t refuse. She reached out and opened the documents. When she saw the contents, a bright gleam flashed in her eyes. “The higher-ups have approved my proposed reforms for Changhe Foreign Trade Company?” It wasn’t merely a reform. It was more like starting from scratch.
As a foreign trade company closely connected to the higher-ups, Changhe Foreign Trade Company held significant strategic importance.
