Whether it was because of the shock of Ziyuan getting married, or because of an empty stomach, Yuqi remained as sleep for several hours.
There was no body to care for her. The Zhang Family was a mess. When her mother died 12 years ago, her father, Zhang Jingcheng married a woman called Lin Ruolan and she gave birth to a son, Zhang Xichen. This new stepmother always manipulated Yuqi's father and spoiled the father-daughter relationship. Zhang Jingcheng believed his wife and so, Yuqi was driven out of the family home as soon as she turned 18.
Although, Yuqi was a little sad about it, she was also relieved as she would not have to see that fake woman act out a drama everyday. Besides, she could now fulfill her dreams without any hindrance. She had never been interested in her father's design business. But Zhang Jingchen had made her learn bussiness administration and designing ever since her mother passed away. And, though Yuqi was not interested, it didn't mean that she wasn't good at it. She was extremely talented in both fields, but had never shown it.
Ever since Yuqi left home, she had only one goal in mind, becoming a talented singer. This was her dream. She had joined a small entertainment company but had never received good projects. One of the reasons was her cousin, Zhang Youwei.
Zhang Youwei had always been jealous of Yuqi and Ouyang Ziyuan's friendship. She had always plotted against Yuqi. When Zhang Youwei knew Yuqi's dreams, she immediately joined the same company and used her status to suppress Zhang Yuqi. On the other hand, Yuqi wanted to achieve her dreams with her own hardwork, so she could only wait for a suitable chance.
While Yuqi was in a deep sleep, in the highest floor of the most resplendent building, on the other side of the city A, the atmosphere was chilly. A group of high level directors stood in a line, not daring to make a sound. Sweat was pouring down but they kept their heads lowered in fear of the Demon King sitting in front of them.
This Demon King was the CEO of Lu Group, Lu Zitian.
Lu Zitian, the eldest Young Master of Lu Family was the most mysterious as well as the most respected and feared personality in the business world. It was said that he had single handedly tripled the net worth of the Lu Group within 2 years of taking over the company. He rarely showed his face in media and interviews, but rumours stated that in his 30 years of life, he had never been in a relationship.
At the moment, in the CEO's Office, Lu Group.
Lu Zitian sat on his chair like a ten thousand year old ice mountain, surrounded by several directors who had come to present a new proposal. Due to his strong aura, an invisible pressure bore down on the surrounding people and the temperature dropped with every passing minute. The room felt like Antarctica, despite it being a sunny day.
"....Speak!"
One of the Directors started speaking and explained a few main points. Just as he was going to proceed further, Lu Zitian stood up.
At a height of 190cm, Lu Zitian had a perfect body. Broad shoulders, slender waist, a perfect V-line figure with a white shirt buttoned up neatly without a crease and long legs that emphasized his height. His chiseled face was cold and expressionless, a pair of phoenix eyes as deep as the ocean that could pull out one's soul, a sharp nose and a pair of devilishly sexy thin lips. A single glance from this face could charm a person to death. One would have the impulse to kneel down in front of this man's aura, as if he was the ruler of the world.
Yet, this devilishly handsome face was the object of everyone's fear.
"Ye Chen, Fired!"
Ye Chen sighed thinking of the plight of the Director who had just presented...oh no, .....hadn't even finished his presentation. Haih!!...His Young Master cherished words like gold. Ye Chen had never seen his boss, the ice statue, speak a full sentence, even with his parents.
The director repeatedly begged for another chance but was dragged away by the security.
There was a saying among the employees of Lu Group, 'A second chance never comes'. Lu Zitian had never ever given a second chance to any one.
A low ringtone sounded. Seeing the name flash on the phone screen, Lu Zitian furrowed his brows. 'That old man...', Lu Zitian frowned. Whenever his Grandfather called, it was always about the same thing.
"Dismissed!", a cold voice sounded.
Ye Chen felt as if he survived a crisis. If this meeting were to go on, god knows how many people would be fired. On the other side, he pitied his boss. He had clearly seen the name on the phone screen. He thought, 'Looks like Young Master would be heading to the bar again!!.....'.
Since the last 2 years Lu Zitian's Grandfather had been urging him to get married. The Young Master Lu had never glanced at a woman in his life...well....maybe except that accident a year ago. His boss Lu had asked him to deliver spare clothes to a hotel room, early in the morning. While delivering, he had seen clothes of a woman scattered on the floor. He had guessed the situation, but never asked about it incase he incurred the Young Master's wrath.
