Zhao Muyun was preparing for a business trip when she received the call from Lu Lingxiao.
Lu Zhenyu had recently assigned her a new project, which required her full attention, so when she suddenly got the call, Zhao Muyun didn't dare ask too many questions.
She only said, "President Lu, are you sure you want to do this? This is your only chance to solidify your position; once the old man—he…"
Zhao Muyun felt it necessary to remind him.
Little did she know, the person on the other end of the phone, Lu Lingxiao, seemed to have thought it through and directly interrupted, "Do as I say."
Zhao Muyun fell silent for two seconds before replying, "All right, President Lu, I will do it right away."
...
In the afternoon, the long-awaited rain finally came down in Wumei Town, bringing a slight relief from the sultry heat.
Standing in front of the window, Ye Xi watched the rain fall on the slate and moss outside the house, but her thoughts were entirely consumed by Lu Lingxiao.
