Chapter 1192: The CEO’s Business Is Our Business. Your Girlfriend’s Trouble Is Our Trouble!
“Then why is it that the man I like doesn’t like me?”
Xing Si tilted his head and looked into her confused eyes.
Ruan Baoer’s eyes were pretty. They were not only big but also very agile.
Actually, Xing Si had seen Ruan Baoer once five years ago.
He was ordered to protect Fu Wanyi when she was meeting the director of Country A. Country A was the Ruan family’s home base. Ruan Baoer, who was 16 years old back then, was there as well.
She couldn’t stand the serious atmosphere of the meeting room and secretly ran away. Thereafter, the Ruan family’s bodyguard caught her. Her mouth was stained with buttercream, just like a little cat.
“He’s blind.”
Ruan Baoer wrinkled his nose. She seemed to be feeling smug and dissatisfied. “He’s not blind. If he was, why would I like him?”
Xing Si didn’t say anything.
Ruan Baoer lowered her head and mumbled sulkily, “This is the first time I’ve liked someone. However, he hates me so much that he refuses to see me. I don’t want to pester him, but I can’t forget him. I’ve already tried my best…”
Ever since she was young, she could get anything she wanted. Except for Si Han now.
Ruan Baoer kept talking. Xing Si seemed to be listening and seemed to be distracted.
As she continued talking, she started to feel sleepy. Her eyelids kept fighting to stay open.
Xing Si saw her body sway and she nearly fell into the fire. He immediately pulled her back.
“Go and sleep.”
“I don’t want to be alone. It’s easy for my thoughts to wander. I don’t want to become a distressed widow.”
Ruan Baoer leaned back as she mumbled. She supported herself against a tree trunk and soon fell asleep.
However, as she flipped over, her body instinctively fell to the ground. Thankfully, Xing Si picked her up.
Ruan Baoer’s head was also rested on his shoulder.
Xing Si glanced at her face with its baby fats and used tree branches to make the fire bigger.
Under the bright lights, Xing Si didn’t move. His handsome but cold face didn’t show any signs of melting. Instead, Ruan Baoer slept soundly. She even subconsciously grabbed his arm and talked in her sleep.
The next morning arrived.
Xing Si pushed Ruan Baoer away so that she could continue to sleep against the tree. After that, he stood up and prepared to wake Lin Wanwan up for training.
…
There was only one day left before the movie festival’s voting segment was to end.
Lin Wanwan’s votes were still one-fifth behind Lin Qingxi’s.
At this critical moment, almost everyone felt that Lin Wanwan was bound to lose.
Lin Wanwan’s friends and family were worried. However, she looked like she led a life of ease and leisure. She even took out some time to accompany Lu Zhanbei to the Global Corporation, planning to see how he managed the company.
Lu Zhanbei was handling some documents and said to Lin Wanwan, who was sitting on the sofa studying some materials, “I’m going to a meeting. Do you want to come along?”
Lin Wanwan bit on a biscuit and shook her head.
Lu Zhanbei slowly walked to the meeting room.
The Global Corporation was much more harmonious than the Lin Group. Even though the company’s employees couldn’t be said to be completely united, at least there wasn’t anyone supporting one’s party and attacking the others.
“If you’re done, that’s all for today’s meeting.”
“CEO, I have something…”
“Tell me.”
A middle-aged female executive said weakly, “Ah… I heard that Ms. Lin might lose the selection this time around due to the misunderstanding. Are you not going to help?”
Lu Zhanbei raised his eyebrow. “Just because Lin Wanwan helped all of you once by putting in a good word, you’re now devoted to her?”
Everyone looked embarrassed.
Gratitude was part of the reason. More importantly, they wanted to use this chance to please their big boss.
“The CEO’s business is our business. Your girlfriend’s trouble is our trouble!”
