Chapter 15: Warned
810 Words
Jiang Man, 25 years old, young and beautiful, with strong capabilities, usually kept a serious demeanor. Perhaps, staying by the CEO's side for too long had made her naturally exude a intimidating aura.
At this moment, the Lamborghini had already driven away. Tong Hua directly searched for this car model on her phone and was dumbfounded when she saw the price.
It turned out to be a Lamborghini worth tens of millions!
"If you want to catch the CEO's attention? Save your efforts. I'm afraid you'll have no place to bury yourself," Jiang Man warned coldly.
Suddenly, someone appeared behind Tong Hua, startling her.
As she turned her head with her phone in hand, Jiang Man shot her a sharp glance. "Stay away from the CEO." With that warning, she turned and left.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to remind me? Mind your own business!" Tong Hua shouted at the woman's retreating figure. "We're not from different species. Why can't we be together?!"
Today was truly unbearable. I can't take it anymore!
Jiang Man stopped in her tracks, furrowing her brows. It had been so long since anyone had dared to speak to her in such a tone.
She was the CEO's secretary, and many people would flatter her whenever possible!
Turning around, Jiang Man's cold gaze fell on the figure walking towards the bus stop. Her eyes darkened.
The bus hadn't arrived yet. Tong Hua checked the schedule; there was a direct one to Shuiyun Huadu, only four stops away.
Taking a taxi would cost 6 yuan, while the bus only cost 1.5 yuan. Tong Mingyao would soon need to pay his tuition, so she had to save money wherever she could.
Her phone rang, and she checked it. It was a call from Lu Yuchuan. Rolling her eyes at the screen, she answered, "What's up?"
"I'm sending you an address on WeChat. Come over now," the man's voice was low and steady, neither fast nor slow.
"Why should I?" Tong Hua was filled with anger. He had pretended not to know her in the lobby today, making her feel like a fool all day in the design department!
Lu Yuchuan ignored her small mood. "If you still want to keep this job, come over immediately."
There was no hint of threat in his tone, as calm as if he was saying, "It's up to you whether you come or not."
With that, he hung up the phone.
Tong Hua didn't even have a chance to speak again. She didn't even know where it was. Opening WeChat to check the address, she realized it was a bit far, and the bus didn't go directly there.
In order not to provoke her husband, the CEO, she had no choice but to take a taxi to the appointment.
When she arrived, she realized it was a restaurant. It looked quite upscale, with the evening sun outside contrasting with the warm yellow lights inside.
While she was still puzzled, wanting to call him to confirm the address, she saw the driver who had been waiting for him at the company entrance walking towards her.
Uncle Ke was nearly 50 years old, dressed casually. He was a clean and easygoing little old man. "Miss Tong, please come inside."
Lu Yuchuan had asked Uncle Ke to wait for her here.
Tong Hua smiled and greeted him, following him into the high-end and elegant Chinese restaurant, heading upstairs.
The decoration here had a bit of a retro feel, with a grand spiral staircase and finely carved railings.
Tong Hua wondered, was Lu Yuchuan inviting her to dinner?
After going upstairs, Uncle Ke helped her open a certain door. "Miss Tong, please come in."
"Thank you." She thanked him softly and walked into the private room. Sitting beside the large round table, Lu Yuchuan, dressed in a black shirt, had one leg crossed over the other, sitting leisurely.
Uncle Ke didn't come in. He closed the door.
Lu Yuchuan's probing gaze was fixed on her, causing Tong Hua to feel nervous, as if she were in a job interview. Since she had learned about his true identity, she had become very cautious when facing him.
The room was filled with the fragrance of food, and there were at least 20 exquisite dishes on the table. In Tong Hua's home, only during the Chinese New Year would there be such a sumptuous feast.
"Sit down, Mrs. Lu." There was a hint of a smile at the corner of the man's lips as he looked at her, his gaze seemingly gentle.
Tong Hua's throat tightened. It felt like the Feast at Hong Gate.
"What do you want to say, just say it. You don't need to go through this whole act," Tong Hua felt an overwhelming feeling of being with a tiger.
