WARNING! Tsundere President Chapter 399 - You Get What You Deserve V

Isn’t that the tender Thunderbolt Corp was aiming for?!

She definitely did not send an email of any kind to Xiang Jinxi. It was almost impossible for Ge Yu to win the tender. She had studied the project earlier and judged that their company could not hope to compete with Thunderbolt Corp.

However… it seemed that Ge Yu had actually been awarded with the project!

Clearly, someone was trying to frame her.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding here.” Lu Zhaoyang looked into Xiang Jinxi’s eyes and said. “I sent you some information about the project in the Golden Territory quite a while ago, basically explaining that it is very unlikely for Ge Yu to get the project and not to waste time on it. As for winning the bid, I believe I was framed.”

Xiang Jinxi put down his gla.s.s and said calmly, “Even so, Ge Yu has been awarded with the Golden Territory project. Just do your best with the project and leave the rest to me.”

“Understood.” She hardly tasted the food she swallowed that night and felt deeply unsettled.

Lu Zhaoyang returned to her apartment after dinner without enjoying even a sip of her red wine. She had just reached her apartment block when she noticed Huo Yunting’s car behind her.

Huo Yunting had been visiting every day recently. He would have dinner with her, but also have her for supper too.

She parked her car and walked to him. He looked like his usual nonchalant self, but still she asked carefully, “You had a bad day?”

Huo Yunting put an arm around her waist and gave her a light peck on the lips.

What the… I’m being serious here…

“The project at the Golden Territory… I didn’t do it.” She did not know if he would believe her.

The smile on Huo Yunting’s face was in direct contrast to her nervousness, but it comforted her like a view of the ocean.

After a while, he murmured quietly, “I believe you.”

Having known her for years, Huo Yunting knew exactly the kind of person she was.

This was not her doing.

She had not even offered an explanation, and yet he believed her. She felt touched.

“I a.s.sure you that I will get to the bottom of this.” There was no way she would allow someone to invade her computer and get away with it.

“You just focus on your job. I will take care of it.” He guided her back to her apartment. “Any news from Lu Bai?”

“Why are you suddenly asking about him? He didn’t do this.” She shook her head and said confidently.

“You have only known him recently. You should not trust strangers so easily.”

“It is not always about how long you know someone. First impression is also very important. Besides, if he really visited Thunderbolt Corp knowing that you are in charge there, isn’t that just asking for trouble?” She found it hard to believe that Lu Bai was the culprit. “I haven’t heard from him still. Do you think something happened to him?”

Huo Yunting replied solemnly, “Maybe.”

Lu Zhaoyang elbowed him in frustration. “Don’t joke around. I think of him as a friend.”

“Stop making friends with other men.” Huo Yunting took out the keys to her apartment. “I’ll be mad if you do.”

Lu Zhaoyang was feeling down during her drive back home, but simply chatting with him lightened her mood.

Perhaps it was because of his unquestioning trust in her.

“Lu Bai is like a little brother.”

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. “I’m a man, I should know men better than you.”

Lu Zhaoyang struggled free and pinched his cheeks. “You. Don’t. Anyway, I’m going to shower now.”

“Let’s shower together.”

“…”

Lu Zhaoyang sprinted to the bathroom and was about to close the door when Huo Yunting stopped her and easily stepped inside.
