"I don't know either. He proposed the cooperation through Mo Jingchen."

I suppose they're trying to promote my brand? Anyway, whatever the reason, it's more beneficial than harmful for us at onirocritie.

You need to oversee this collaboration from start to finish, and there can be no mistakes whatsoever.

I don't trust anyone else, so I can only entrust this to you, Yuanyuan.

After hearing An Yiruo's words, Zhang Yuanyuan's words of refusal were stuck in her throat.

It's painful to talk about it, and it's painful to keep quiet about it.

In the end, Zhang Yuanyuan overcame her inner demons.

She thought, how could a big shot like Lu Ze remember a nobody like her!

It's also possible that a delicate and beautiful woman is standing next to him right now!

Thinking about this, I don't know why, but I didn't feel as lighthearted as I had imagined.

"Yuanyuan? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Nothing. I was just thinking that Lu Ze's studio is very famous now."

Our collaboration with him is a bonus for Onirocritie!

"Don't worry, I'll follow up carefully," Zhang Yuanyuan said, standing up as she accepted this important task.

However, even Zhang Yuanyuan herself overlooked the fact that Lu Ze had taken the initiative to propose the collaboration...

That day, Zhang Yuanyuan appeared in Lu Ze's studio with all the documents in hand. She spoke to one of the young women in the room, saying, "Hello, I'm the person in charge of onirocritie. I'm here to discuss matters related to this collaboration."

"So you're the person in charge of Onirocritie. Come with me."

Zhang Yuanyuan followed the young lady inside, only to find that the person sitting in the conference room was Lu Ze himself!

"Mr. Lu...?" Zhang Yuanyuan turned her head slightly and asked the young lady next to her in a low voice, as if on tentatively.

"Yes, our CEO Lu attaches great importance to this cooperation, so he is personally overseeing the project." The young woman explained to Zhang Yuanyuan with a smile, then gestured for her to come in.

With a death wish, I stepped into the conference room, forcing a formulaic smile: "Mr. Lu, I'm the head of Onirocritie, here to discuss the specifics of our collaboration."

"Miss Zhang, are you afraid of me?" Lu Ze sat in the central executive chair, propping his head up with one hand, looking at Zhang Yuanyuan thoughtfully.

"No...no. Mr. Lu is joking."

"Don't worry, Miss Zhang. I'm very gentle and I won't eat you. You don't need to be afraid or worried."

Lu Ze seemed to say nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.

Zhang Yuanyuan felt extremely uncomfortable listening to this and just wanted to run away as fast as she could, to get far away from this place of trouble.

However... reality did not allow her to do so!

"Of course... Lu Ze is both a gentleman and handsome, the dream lover of countless girls." Due to work constraints, Zhang Yuanyuan launched into a commercial flattery at this moment.

"The dream lover of countless girls... does that include Miss Zhang?" Lu Ze stared at Zhang Yuanyuan, as if trying to see through her.

"Hehe, Mr. Lu, this collaboration is time-sensitive and demanding. Let's take a look at this new product design draft from Onirocritie, some of which haven't been released yet."

Our General Manager An said that if these design drawings do not meet General Manager Lu's style requirements, we can make changes at any time.

After Zhang Yuanyuan finished speaking, she handed over the design drawings for Lu Ze to review.

Lu Ze's lips curled up slightly as he thought to himself, "This woman is quite interesting!"

When faced with work, Lu Ze put away his playful attitude and carefully reviewed the design drafts, while also sharing his thoughts and suggestions.

Zhang Yuanyuan took notes, and the exchange for the day came to an end.

“Miss Zhang, it’s hard to get a taxi at this time. I’ll give you a ride,” Lu Ze said as he stood up, watching Zhang Yuanyuan pack her things.

"No need for that trouble, I can wait a bit. How could I trouble Mr. Lu to personally escort me? That's not proper..."

Before Zhang Yuanyuan could finish speaking, Lu Ze picked up his car keys and went out first, saying, "No trouble at all, I'll wait for Miss Zhang to come out at the door."

"Hey... I haven't agreed to let you give me a ride yet!"

As Lu Ze walked further and further away, Zhang Yuanyuan's voice grew softer and softer!

She walked out of Lu Ze's studio and got into the car with small, quick steps.

"Ms. Zhang, seatbelt!"

"profound."

“Ms. Zhang, I’m a very good driver, and I’ve been driving for quite some time. You don’t need to look so fearless,” Lu Ze said to Zhang Yuanyuan as he started the car and drove off.

"Mr. Lu, you flatter me. How could I be ready to die for my country? I am truly honored!"

Lu Ze smiled but remained silent, not revealing her little scheme.

As the car traveled at a steady speed, Lu Ze spoke again when Lu Cheng was halfway through the journey: "Miss Zhang, why did you suddenly leave that day? I think... you still owe me an explanation."

"Huh? What did Mr. Lu say? I didn't hear you clearly." Zhang Yuanyuan unconsciously tightened her grip on the seatbelt.

“I think… Miss An heard me clearly.”

"Why...why did I leave? I..." Zhang Yuanyuan's mind raced, but she still couldn't figure out how to answer his question.

"Ms. Zhang, please think it over before you speak."

The air inside the car was filled with a dangerous smell. If she could, Zhang Yuanyuan would probably jump out of the car without hesitation!

However, reality once again poured cold water on her enthusiasm!

"I was just worried that I'd mess up Mr. Lu's room. Hehe..."

"Oh!" Lu's tone rose a few notches.

Zhang Yuanyuan didn't know whether he believed her or not, but in any case, he stopped talking.

"Phew," Zhang Yuanyuan breathed softly, out of Lu Ze's sight.

"Miss Zhang, we've arrived."

The car came to a smooth stop outside An Yiruo's studio. Lu Ze turned to look at Zhang Yuanyuan.

"Thank you for bringing me back, Mr. Lu. I'll go upstairs now."

Then, Zhang Yuanyuan unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door and got out of the car, running into the house like a ray of light.

"Still a little rabbit," Lu Ze said, shaking his head with a smile as he watched the person slip away, then turned the engine and drove off.

"Yi Ruo, I'm back."

As soon as Zhang Yuanyuan entered An Yiruo's office, she poured herself a glass of water.

"Yuanyuan, your face...why is it so red! Are you alright?"

Zhang Yuanyuan reached out and touched her face, which was indeed slightly hot: "It's okay, it was just too hot in the car on the way back."

“Oh,” An Yiruo replied without thinking anything further.

"Yi Ruo, this is the feedback from President Lu after reviewing the design drawings. Take a look when you have time. I'll head back now."

"good."

Watching Zhang Yuanyuan's departing figure, An Yiruo felt that Zhang Yuanyuan was... a little strange today!

But something felt off... she couldn't quite put her finger on it!
