Chapter 481: President Zhou’s Gossip

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a simple thank you, the reporter immediately left the restaurant with her things. It was obvious that she was going straight to the Federation Newspaper’s office to s.n.a.t.c.h the news market.

After the reporter left, they finally returned to their time alone.

Zhou Xuan thought for a long time. “Shan Yue, thank you.”

“Thank me? Why are you thanking me?” Shan Yue was a little puzzled. After all, she had only said some true thoughts just now.

“Thank you for agreeing to my request to pursue you and for graciously admitting it to everyone.” Zhou Xuan was a little nervous. He fiddled with the green jade ring in his hand. “I know that not everyone has a chance. Between me and Yang Shuo, you chose to believe me, so I definitely won’t let you down.”

“Actually, you don’t have to thank me, because this outcome was what you deserved in the first place. It was your own efforts that rewarded you in such a way. What you really need to thank is your heart.”

Shan Yue put down the chopsticks in her hand, and her gaze gradually became firm. “I know that your initial attention to me was only because of your curiosity, but when we were in Pang Village, you ignored your safety and blocked Pang Shuo’s attack for me without caring about the consequences. When I was partic.i.p.ating in the National High School Compet.i.tion, you still didn’t hesitate to become enemies with the Tang Corporation to help me.”

Zhou Xuan shook his head. “This is what I should have done. Compared to what you’ve done for me, these things of mine are not worth mentioning.”

“That’s where you’re wrong. No one should do anything. There’s only willingness. No matter what, being able to do this until now is the result of mutual sacrifice.” A gentle expression appeared on Shan Yue’s face. “In any case, the opportunity has been given to you. As for how to seize it, it depends on your performance.”

After saying this, Shan Yue wiped her mouth and stood up with the tulip that Zhou Xuan had given her. “Although you’ve successfully activated the progress bar, that’s all for today. Thank you for the lunch, President Zhou. It’s really delicious.”

Shan Yue’s deep eyes were filled with happiness, leaving behind a thought-provoking smile. She turned around and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.

Just as Shan Yue was halfway there, Zhou Xuan stared at her back. “Shan Yue, don’t worry. I’ll make the progress bar reach 100%. Wait for me.”

When Shan Yue heard this, she did not respond immediately. She only paused for a moment. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

What Zhou Xuan did not know was that a bright smile had already flashed across Shan Yue’s face. After saying that, Shan Yue stepped out of the restaurant. Although they had only interacted for a short period of time, it still made Zhou Xuan’s heart ripple.

When he returned to the company, he still had a smug expression on his face. He surprised the employees of the company.

Zhou Xuan, who had always been expressionless, actually had such a day. The company immediately began to have differing opinions.

“What’s wrong with our President Zhou? He can have so many smiles on his face. The sun must have risen from the west.”

“I remember that when our company negotiated a project worth tens of billions in the past, President Zhou’s face was cold and expressionless.”

“Who knows? It’s really hard to believe who has the ability to make President Zhou like this.”

“Alright, stop discussing. Don’t you know how to keep your voices down? Everyone is gathered together. Aren’t you afraid that President Zhou will be able to hear you later?”

He Sheng, who had suddenly appeared, interrupted the employees’ whispers. “Have you finished all the work on hand, or have you been too free recently and have time to gossip about President Zhou?”

Everyone knew that He Sheng was Zhou Xuan’s trusted aide in the company, and it was wrong for employees to discuss their boss, so no one dared to say anything else.

Although the employees might not know anything, He Sheng knew very well.

When President Zhou returned, he did have the flowers and even displayed an abnormal mood. Needless to say, he must have made some progress with President Shan.

Even when He Sheng went to the office in the afternoon to deliver the doc.u.ments to Zhou Xuan, he realized that not only was President Zhou full of energy, but there was no sign of his usual cold expression.

Unfortunately, happy times always pa.s.sed quickly, making Zhou Xuan’s sweet day disappear in the blink of an eye.

The sun set and the sun rose in the east. In the blink of an eye, it was the next day..
