Chapter 17: Boyfriend…

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Why?

In that instant upon hearing Zhuang Cainan’s words, even though she knew it was immature, Su Lu still wanted to ask, why?

However, time had already smoothed away much of her personality. Moreover, she was afraid to get a heart-wrenching answer from Zhuang Cainan.

This was because the two of them were not simply bosses and subordinates.

But Zhuang Cainan didn’t care whether she wanted to hear it or not. She straightforwardly said, “We’re both women, and I advise you not to seduce someone else’s boyfriend. I don’t care what others would do, but if you continue to cling to Jingshen, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Boyfriend…

Su Lu pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Though there were no onlookers present, she still felt as if she were publicly slapped and embarrassed.

It was more accurate to say that she was not just embarrassed but also deeply saddened.

She had endured five years of torment, but she had already lost any chance she once had.

Zhuang Cainan finished speaking and turned toward the direction of the meeting hall.

Midway, she squinted her eyes and looked at the bald man, Liu Qiming, who had previously bothered Su Lu.

Zhuang Cainan changed direction and walked toward Liu Qiming.

Inside the meeting hall, Jiang Li had his hands in his pockets, nonchalantly following behind Bo Jingshen.

He chuckled and said, “Why bother with this? You’re just being stubborn, aren’t you? You wanted to bring her in, so why pretend to be aloof and heartless? If you were truly heartless, would you have gone out like a hero to save the beauty during the typhoon?”

As Jiang Li spoke, he gently patted Bo Jingshen on the back. “Still hurt because of love?”

The slight pat on his wound caused Bo Jingshen to furrow his brow. “Do you have any shame left?”

Jiang Li chuckled.

Bo Jingshen glanced towards the entrance of the meeting hall.

Jiang Li said, “Don’t look anymore. She hasn’t come in yet. She also needs to save face. Besides, not everyone can enter and watch the speeches in the hall.”

Bo Jingshen cast a glance at him. “You know nothing.”

The host from the organizing committee approached them. “Mr. Bo, nice to meet you. I’m today’s host. I’m here to go through the process with you.”

Bo Jingshen faced the entrance of the meeting hall and discuss the process with the host.

It wasn’t until they finished going over the process, and the host invited him to take a seat as the speeches were about to begin, that he realized he hadn’t seen Su Lu enter from the entrance.

That invitation letter… Could it be she hadn’t seen it at all?

Did Su Lu not come in?

Of course, she did.

Just before the first speech was about to start, at the very last moment for entry, she quietly slipped into the meeting hall.

She still couldn’t hold it in because Bo Jingshen was going to give a speech on stage today. Su Lu wanted to see it for herself.

However, she didn’t follow the assigned seat number on the invitation letter and instead randomly found an empty seat in the back row.

As soon as the speech began, the surrounding lights dimmed.

Every person who went up to give a speech was a person with outstanding achievements and developments in their respective fields.

Some people had a keen eye for investing in good projects, while others excelled in researching and developing them.

There were even quite a few young people.

For instance, the man currently giving a speech on stage was in his thirties. It was not difficult to see the huge prospects of the flexible screen project he developed. If she could invest in this project, the future would be promising.

Su Lu listened attentively, but then an annoying voice came from beside her.

“Little Lu, are you interested in this flexible screen project?” Liu Qiming’s voice was unchanged as if… as if nothing had happened earlier.

Su Lu couldn’t help but admire Liu Qiming. It was no wonder he could succeed in business and make money. Not everyone could adapt, and compromise like him.

Su Lu furrowed her brow but remained silent.

However, Liu Qiming paid no attention to whether she responded or not. He continued, “The real estate industry has been tough in recent years. Your father wants to get a share of the profits in the technology field. President Bo is entering the domestic market and plans to establish a high-tech park in Feng City. Your father is quite interested.”

“Oh,” Su Lu replied coldly.

Liu Qiming showed no signs of anger and instead chuckled. “Little Lu, a businessman can’t be too impulsive.”

He went on, “In any case, President Bo is determined to obtain this flexible screen project. Did your father ask you to come over and be his temporary secretary? Could it be that the Su Corporation wants a share of the profits?”

When Su Lu heard this, she raised her eyebrows and stopped being impulsive. She responded vaguely, “Naturally, everyone desires a good project. If I’m following President Bo and aiming for a share of the profits, it’s not an unreasonable thing, is it?”

“While that may be true, it may not necessarily be wise. Although Bosheng is a major player in the capital, domestic manufacturers are increasingly focused on the domestic market. Despite Bo Jingshen’s success in foreign business, it’s still a foreign investment and faces challenges when entering the domestic market.”

“A mature and promising project like the flexible screen doesn’t have to worry about investment. There are also preferential policies for domestic development. There’s no need to take risks.”

“I can introduce you to the person in charge of this project. Since you’re attending the exhibition as Bo Jingshen’s secretary, why not have a chat?”

Su Lu pondered for a moment after hearing his lengthy explanation before asking, “So, what are your conditions, President Liu?”

A successful businessman couldn’t be too impulsive, and she didn’t believe that good opportunities would simply fall into his lap.

Liu Qiming smiled and replied, “There’s a dinner party tonight, and I’d like you to accompany me. Coincidentally, the person in charge of the flexible screen project will also be attending. It’s not a condition I’m setting, but rather a mutually beneficial arrangement. Consider it as my way of compensating for my earlier rudeness.”

Su Lu didn’t immediately agree and said, “Let’s discuss it later.”

“Okay, I’ll send you the location of the dinner party.”

Liu Qiming didn’t continue nagging beside her.

Besides, even if he did continue, Su Lu had already lost interest in listening.

That was because… Bo Jingshen was about to take the stage.

A tall and slender figure stood up from the front row.

The host gave a brief introduction, saying, “Next up is Mr. Bo Jingshen, the founder of Bosheng Group. Under Mr. Bo Jingshen’s leadership, Bosheng Group has achieved significant accomplishments in the fields of internet technology, video games, artificial intelligence, holographic projection, and more…”

Amidst the applause, Bo Jingshen walked up to the stage.

The spotlight shone on him as he calmly began his speech.

The script prepared by Zhuang Cainan turned out to be unnecessary as he confidently delivered his speech without referring to it. His voice was deep and melodious, with a moderate pace.

Since the speech was going to be broadcasted online, he repeated his speech in English after delivering it in Chinese.

However, his expression was indifferent throughout the entire process. He did not smile at all, as if he was never happy.

After everyone finished their speech, the lights in the hall lit up.

In that brief moment of illumination, the young CEO, who had been cold and indifferent all along, paused his gaze when he unexpectedly spotted someone in the back row of the auditorium. His sharp eyebrows slightly raised.

Although his expressionless face still retained its coldness, it seemed somewhat less icy than before.
