Lin Rushuang had been with Li Wenyuan since she was eighteen. Due to an accident, her deaf ears regained hearing while saving him.
Excited, she prepared to tell him the news, only to find him...
Chapter 18 Are you ready to switch to LS?
He supported his chin with his elbow and looked over with his head tilted, looking like a spectator, with no intention of going up to help.
The woman was so angry at Lin Rushuang that her face turned red.
"You...don't be so arrogant. He's just been interested in you for the past two days. He's seen more women than you've eaten. Don't expect him to really put his heart into you."
Lin Rushuang curled her lips indifferently. She was not in a relationship with He Tingchen, so how many women he had seen was none of her business.
Furthermore, for a man like him who holds a high position and has a superior bone structure, it is not difficult to imagine that many women will throw themselves at him.
Lin Rushuang smiled wryly: "It doesn't matter, as long as his heart is with me now."
The woman probably didn't expect Lin Rushang to be so open-minded. In the end, she could only give her a cold look, open the office door and leave.
When Lin Rushuang saw the man leave and close the door, she remembered that she had to meet a client later. She raised her hand to check the time, then quickly stepped forward and spoke to He Tingchen straight to the point.
"Mr. He, the Oasis project will be closed in three days. Are you really not going to reconsider it?"
If this wasn't her mother's last wish, it would have been fine if He Tingchen didn't agree after she tried her best. She didn't want to bother him again and again.
And when she thought about what happened last night, she actually offered him a price and asked him to help her solve her physiological problems.
She wished she would never see him again in her life.
He Tingchen didn't say anything. Lin Rushang looked up in confusion and suddenly met his sharp eyes. He usually looked cold, but at this moment, probably because he was in the company, his black suit made him look even sharper than usual.
But now, whenever I see him, the scenes of last night come flooding back to me, and I can’t turn them off.
She felt her ears turning red and quickly turned her face away.
He Tingchen stared at her blushing cheeks and teased, "Why, you don't want to call me Brother Tingchen anymore?"
Lin Rushuang coughed awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now and just found out that you knew my mother."
"So," He Tingchen hinted, "Are you planning to use your favors to negotiate terms with me?"
Lin Rushuang was too lazy to flatter him, after all, this guy might not be interested in it.
"I can't help it. Even though the method may not be very appealing, as long as the effect is good, it's fine. I really don't have much time here. Since you know my mother, you should also know that the Oasis project was my mother's dying wish."
He Tingchen slung his long legs over the desk. "So what? You said it was your mother's wish. What does it have to do with me?"
There was no humanity in his tone, as cold as an iceberg.
Lin Rushuang was not surprised. He Tingchen was well-known in the circle for not giving face to anyone unless he was willing.
She pursed her lips and said, "I didn't mean to use my mother to gain your favor. I just saw this when I was looking through her belongings, and I thought it must be very important to Mr. He."
Lin Rushang carefully took out the pieced-together photo from her pocket.
He Tingchen's calm black eyes flickered the moment he saw the photo.
But it soon died down again.
He slowly stood up from his office chair, walked to Lin Rushang and looked down at her, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
His dark eyes lingered on her face for a moment, his tone unfocused.
"Why, I just helped you yesterday, and you're going to rely on me?"
Lin Rushuang curled her lips. She really couldn't find a reason to refute this, because her current behavior seemed like she was clinging to He Tingchen.
She felt she still needed to explain.
"What happened last night was indeed an accident, but even if I didn't ask Mr. He for anything, I would still return this photo. After all, it must be very important to you."
She had heard her mother mention before that He Tingchen had a miserable life experience, which made him very trusting of people. It would take a lifetime to make up for the trauma of his childhood.
Lin Rushang placed the photo neatly on the table and was about to turn around and leave.
He Tingchen said, "Isn't this project very important to you? Are you planning to give up just like that?"
Lin Rushuang shrugged and smiled bitterly: "I know Mr. He never takes threats. I have done my best on this project."
She opened the office door and walked out, her fingertips clenched tightly, her heart in her throat. She thought He Tingchen would call her.
At least because of the photo that showed him and his mother as acquaintances.
But until she closed the office door, He Tingchen's voice did not come.
Her heart sank for a moment.
It seems that I have miscalculated this time. He Tingchen's thoughts are indeed not something that ordinary people can guess.
Because this guy doesn't play by the rules at all.
There was no way out, Lin Rushang could only leave LS with regret. Just as she reached the door, Yang Xin called and gave her even worse news.
"My ancestor, why haven't you come back yet? Let me tell you, the project we have was hijacked by Jiang Yuyan. Also, was Jiang Yuyan seen when you went to LS today?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Rushang held her forehead helplessly.
"I have no idea."
"You were stabbed in the back by that little bitch, and she went straight to President Li and said..."
Yang Xin imitated Jiang Yuyan's sweet voice.
"I saw Sister Rushuang go to Mr. He's company this morning, but doesn't Sister Rushuang know that LS is our competitor? If she goes there so blatantly, people will talk about her. A Yuan, you still need to talk to Sister Rushuang."
"Or maybe Sister Rushuang wants to switch to LS because I won the Oasis project? Then what about the project she's currently working on..."
"Okay, then the news that you were suspected of switching to LS spread throughout the company. Then, despite unanimous resistance from colleagues at the company, President Li gave the Tengyun project to Jiang Yuyan."
Lin Rushuang frowned. Very good, He Tingchen didn't get it here, but her own project was hijacked instead.
"I'll be right back!"
After hanging up the phone, she returned to the company as quickly as possible.
In the office, Li Wenyuan stood in the middle with a gloomy face, and his sharp eyes like an eagle swept across the people present.
"Director Lin hasn't come back yet?"
Someone replied timidly.
"Yang Xin has already gone to call."
As soon as Lin Rushang walked to the door, she felt that the atmosphere inside was not right. She took a deep breath and spoke loudly.
"I'm back."
Li Wenyuan couldn't help but frown, and the look he gave Lin Rushang was no longer as gentle as before. This time he was really angry.
I was too lazy to even imitate her movements.
"Director Lin, the time to discuss cooperation with Yunteng has come. What are you going to LS for? Are you planning to change jobs?"
