The next day.
"Miss Wen," said He Siming's secretary, "Mr. He is expecting you."
When Wen Shuyue's secretary heard the words, her jaw dropped to the floor, while Wen Shuyue remained as calm as usual, walking ahead with composure on her high stilettos.
How Wen Baobao reacted next even gave the surprised secretary a tremble.
"Nice to see you again, Mr. Handsome."
Disregarding other people, Wen Baobao threw his arms around He Siming's legs. The secretary got even more confused when the man didn't seem disgusted by the kid's deeds.
On the contrary...
He Siming held Wen Baobao up, looking somewhat gentle in his hawk-like eyes.
"Sir, our eyes are the same in color," said Wen Baobao in a childish voice.
It was a moment full of warmth and love. Wen Baobao even inexplicably felt some connection with He Siming the first time they met.
The man and the boy resembled each other in appearance. The secretary swallowed hard because it gave her the illusion that the three of them were a family.
But it was just impossible because Miss Wen was way out of He Siming's league...
"It's all in my head," the secretary convinced herself in her mind.
At Wen Baobao's words, He Siming nodded slightly with a bland look on his face. When they met for the first time, He Siming noticed something special in the kid and was even overwhelmed with some strange feeling.
Suddenly, Wen Baobao moved closer and said to him in a voice that could only be heard by them, "Sir, my mommy said she was sorry for her poor performance last time. Please give her one more chance. She'll nail it."
On hearing his words, He Siming raised his eyebrows and mildly turned up the corners of his lips.
Watching the interaction between the man and the boy, We Shuyue suddenly felt like Wen Baobao was setting her up with He Siming.
She faked a little cough to her secretary and had her take her child out of the room.
Before leaving the room, Wen Baobao didn't forget to tip Wen Shuyue a wink, making her scalp tingled.
Sure enough, having a son who was too smart could be tricky sometimes.
"Miss Wen, you only have an hour."
On hearing the man's sudden deep voice, Wen Shuyue instantly raised her head and their eyes met spontaneously. At this moment, Wen Shuyue could hear the pit-a-pat of her heart.
She calmed herself down in no time and instantly put on a vigorous look. "Sure, I hope we would have a pleasant talk."
"Oh?" He Siming squinted at her, with his facial contour highlighted under the dim light. Quite a moment later, he took his eyes off her and said leisurely, walking to the meeting room alone, "I hope so."
Lub-dub, lub-dub.
When the man turned round, Wen Shuyue dared to let a bit of her tension show, soothing her heart with both hands while feeling the strong heartbeats. A moment later, she went to catch up with him...
The door was heaved open.
At the sight of the man in the meeting room, Wen Shuyue instantly put on a sullen look.
It was Lu Junhan.
Wen Shuyue subconsciously frowned at the unexpected appearance of her ex-husband in this room.
Lu Junhan instantly stood up, looking astonished and cold on his uniformly calm face. "What are you doing here?"
At the sight of his reaction, He Siming mildly raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Shuyue obviously in a confused way.
"I didn't know I have a competitor today, Mr. He."
"Wen Shuyue, don't try to screw things up." Lu Junhan didn't expect to meet Wen Shuyue here, who had been gone for the last five years. What was the purpose of her visit?
It was crucial for Lu Junhan to close the deal with the He Group so nothing could go wrong this time.
At this moment, Guan Yue introduced Wen Shuyue at the perfect timing, "This is the CEO of MK China Office. She comes here with the same purpose as yours, to talk about the cooperation with the He Group."
MK?
Lu Junhan was slightly stunned. To his astonishment, five years after they separated, Wen Shuyue rose to a position as high as his in MK, a company of great international influence. Lu Junhan looked at her with new eyes.
Merely a few seconds later, Lu Junhan maintained his composure before walking slowly to Wen Shuyue, with a pleasant smile on his face. "Shuyue, I didn't know you came back. You should have told me and I would pick you up."
He was beyond shameless to say so!
Wen Shuyue made no response and walked away, struggling to keep calm with a meaningful look in her eyes.
A silent refusal was often more humiliating than a direct one.
Lu Junhan was a bit sullen, but with the presence of He Siming, he faked a smile and returned to the topic.
"The Lu Group is a local team. The cooperation between us, I believe, will come with a win-win situation."
No matter how Lu Junhan played up his speech by giving lots of data materials as support, He Siming remained silent and fixed his eyes calmly on Wen Shuyue who didn't say a word.
"Miss Wen, you gave me your word that you won't let me down."
Although Lu Junhan seemed to overshadow Wen Shuyue with the support of his team, the leisure look in her eyes showed her confidence.
She remained silent for a few seconds. Then she stood up slowly, walked to the overhead projector, and inserted the USB flash disk she prepared. "As is known, the He Group will focus on the theme of girls' fantasy this time. Based on this theme, MK will..."
As the clock ticked...
Lu Junhan's face turned almost ashen as his pride vanished.
Wen Shuyue presented a one-up project from design theories to public propaganda. Comparatively speaking, the one by the Lu Group was a piece of crap...
The result was nothing surprising.
Lu Junhan was well-prepared and supported by a professional team, but he was defeated by Wen Shuyue alone. He lost the deal he was likely to close because of her.
"Wen Shuyue!"
Lu Junhan stopped her in the hallway.
He looked at her as if he could have eaten her, but she still had a smile on her face, even with somewhat contempt. "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid the meeting was over."
"Why did you come back?"
"None of your business."
Raising her eyebrows, Wen Shuyue made Lu Junhan more sullen with her leave-me-alone attitude.
He didn't expect that after five years, the once Miss good-for-nothing would rise to a competent office lady. After the first confrontation, Lu Junhan dare not look down upon the woman in front of him.
He was too angry to pretend to be kind, so he just said with a gloomy look, "I got it. You came back to steal my business. Obviously, what you did just now was a revenge!"
