Chapter 907 Keep Her Pride

When the company's employees heard that the new deputy CEO was a gorgeous woman, they assumed Nan Xing had brought in some random eye candy.

However, they soon realized their mistake after the meeting ended.

Not only was the deputy CEO beautiful, but she was also extremely professional and skilled.

Although Lu Jingyuan had not worked in ages, she had not lost her touch.

She wasn't someone who would slack off. She continued to pay attention to the market trends in the industry and never stopped learning.

Prior to opening her inn in Livingsfill, she had taken quite a number of online courses. She was already a famous designer, to begin with, so her skills had greatly improved.

After giving a short speech, Lu Jingyuan managed to conquer the attendees with her international vision and advanced ideas for the company.

Nan Xing, who was also present at the meeting, was surprised by Lu Jingyuan's performance. No wonder she looks arrogant. It turns out she's actually quite skillful.

His initial idea was to dump Lu Jingyuan after successfully courting her. While it was one thing if he was able to succeed, it was a completely different matter if he could bring himself to do so.

After coming out of the meeting room and returning to the office, Lu Jingyuan's newly appointed assistant came over. She was a pretty girl who showed dimples when she smiled.

“I don't need an assistant,” Lu Jingyuan said curtly.

The assistant almost cried. Is Ms. Lu so dissatisfied with me that she refuses to let me work with her?

Nan Xing was surprised. “What's the matter? Tian is a capable person. She even graduated from a reputable school. I'm sure she will be a capable assistant to you.”

“I'm not complaining about her abilities, it's just that I don't need an assistant,” Lu Jingyuan replied calmly.

“But you need an assistant to arrange your schedule and take care of the more mundane tasks. Otherwise, you'll have too much on your plate,” Nan Xing advised.

The assistant, Tian, kept silent. She was afraid that Lu Jingyuan had rejected her because she did not meet the former's standards.

“I'm only in charge of matters related to design and nothing else. There's no need for me to attend many meetings unless there's something that absolutely needs my input. I also won't be attending business-related social events, nor will I participate in any kind of company publicity or promotional activities. Hence, my schedule shouldn't be too bad, so I really don't need an assistant,” Lu Jingyuan said.

“Huh?” Nan Xing was dumbfounded. “You're the deputy CEO. Of course you have to attend the meetings with the higher-ups...”

“I refuse. I already said that I won't attend any meetings unless there's something I absolutely need to take care of there. I did not attend most of the meetings when I was working overseas. I took care of the tasks I was in charge of and would not attend any meetings that are meaningless. This is how I've always operated. If Mr. Xing is displeased with this, I can resign right now.”

What a ruthless person! She is even threatening to resign on the first day?

Exasperated, Nan Xing could only agree to her conditions. “So be it. However, since she has already been assigned to be your assistant, let her stay with you for a month. She's mainly here to learn from you. If you still have no need for her and decide not to keep her after a month, you can send her somewhere else. Rumors will spread in the company if you get the HR department to immediately reassign her. It won't look good for her, and it will likely cause her stress.”

Nan Xing was a considerate man. After all, he had been involved with managing the company for a long time.

Normally, he was an easygoing man. However, he maintained a high standard when it came to matters related to managing the company.

Tian gazed at Nan Xing gratefully. Mr. Xing is so handsome and kind!

“All right. We'll give it a try.” In the end, Lu Jingyuan agreed to it.

Nan Xing and Tian sighed in relief.

Following that, Nan Xing waved his hand and dismissed Tian.

Tian bowed to Lu Jingyuan courteously. “Ms. Lu, I won't let you down! I'll be an assistant who's capable of solving your problems for you!”

She then left the room.

“Okay. Ms. Lu, I'll handle your schedule for the day. Leave it to me. We're going to Commoner Residence next. I promised Grandma that I'd bring you to visit.” Nan Xing grinned.

“I'm not going,” Lu Jingyuan replied curtly.

“Huh? Why?”

“Why do I have to go?” Lu Jingyuan retorted.

“Because... Because Grandma wishes to meet you...” Nan Xing did not know how to proceed.

“There are billions of people in the world. I'd be overwhelmed if I have to meet everyone who insists on a meeting. Today's my first day working here. I can't just leave after briefly showing up as it will leave a bad impression. I need to look over some documents and gain a better understanding of the company.” After saying that, Lu Jingyuan sat down at her desk and began to work.

Nan Xing felt a headache forming. She's such a difficult woman!

“My grandmother insists on meeting you. There must be a reason for it. You can't just refuse to meet her.”

“Why can't I reject her request? I know the reason she wants to meet me. It's none other than to question me about our relationship and ask me when did I give birth to my children. Most importantly, she wants to know why my children don't have a father and who was he. Am I right?”

Nan Xing could only nod in response. She's not wrong...

It was highly likely that his grandmother would ask such questions. They were unavoidable. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Why do I have to answer such questions?” Lu Jingyuan asked.

Nan Xing fell silent. She's right. Why does she have to be forced to answer them?

“Err... We're...”

“What of it? At most, we're friends and nothing more. You brought me here from the capital as my boyfriend because we were putting on an act for my brother. Since we've achieved that, there's no

longer anything between us. Once I get used to life here, I will send my kids to school myself. I won't be troubling you then.”

Lu Jingyuan said those words in a rather cold tone. While she was merely stating the facts, Nan Xing felt his heart grow cold upon hearing them.

“Your words hurt me,” Nan Xing muttered.

Lu Jingyuan did not bother lifting her head. “Is that so? Is a man's heart that fragile and so easily hurt?”

Nan Xing felt that what she just said was far more hurtful than the previous ones.

Truth be told, Lu Jingyuan knew what was on Nan Xing's mind. She felt that she was being too easygoing with Nan Xing when the latter had kissed her earlier today.

Did Nan Xing kiss me because he thinks I'm a shameless woman he can make a move on any time he wished?

Lu Jingyuan decided to change the way she interacted with Nan Xing after that thought occurred to her.

She could not allow Nan Xing to treat her as he wished. After all, she was a member of the Lu family. She had to keep her pride!

Meanwhile, Nan Xing was baffled. Why did Lu Jingyuan's attitude suddenly change? She's become so cold. It feels as if she's keeping me at a distance. Did I make a mistake? Was it because I kissed her this morning?

“Ms. Lu, I have already promised my grandmother. I don't know what to tell her if you refuse to go with me,” Nan Xing beseeched.

“That's your problem. I'm not obligated to help you solve it,” Lu Jingyuan replied coldly.
