The government officer felt very pleased. Then, he spoke without any restraint,

"The thing is, my family's Azhen is a very talented man. He received his degrees from overseas…

"

Sheng Ruming put on a knowing look and muttered out,

"You can just tell me what you want. I understand…

"

The officer felt very pleased. In his heart, he labelled Sheng Ruming as a good businessman.

He patted his nephew's shoulder and said,

"He is a talented engineer. I hope you can give him a chance to work in your company and allow him to take part in the design of the bridge.

"

If Liu Azhen could show his name in the project, his future would be brighter than anyone! No wonder, It was one of the biggest projects in the country. So nothing could be better for him than this.

Finally, the officer showed his agenda. Liu Azhen smiled like an idiot and glanced at Sheng Ruming, eyeing him up and down excitedly like a puppy. His eyes were saying, 'Hurry up and agree! Let me join you too!'

Sheng Ruming glanced around the room. Judging from the calm looks of other people, he guessed that they knew of it beforehand.

The man abruptly stood up without any notice.

The officer was flustered and his smiling face vanished instantly. Suddenly, he began to panic and thought if Sheng Ruming really rejected him, he would be in a bad situation.

After all, Liu Azhen's father was a higher ranking official and the man had given this task to him personally. He even assured Liu Azhen's father that he would let the young man enter into the Sheng Industry and Corporation in every possible way.

Sheng Ruming turned towards Liu Azhen and said with a kind smile,

"You should come to my company two days later. I will personally take your interview and see if you are really capable.

"

Afterwards, Sheng Ruming swept his gaze around the room and politely said,

"It's very late now. I shall leave. Let's meet again in the future.

"

Most of them nodded. When Sheng Ruming left, the officer stayed motionless for a few seconds.

Afterwards, he turned towards Liu Azhen and asked with a frown,

"Did he agree?

" He was clearly worried that his voice couldn't hide.

The man wasn't sure, neither were the others, but it became a mystery whether Sheng Ruming had agreed or not.

Then, Liu Azhen moved beside his uncle's ear and whispered,

"Uncle, he has agreed! How could you expect him to reply 'yes' in front of so many people? Now a days, there is a thing called 'Hidden camera'. Any wise man won't say anything that can put them at a disadvantage in the future!

"

"What?!

" The government officer turned towards Liu Azhen and slapped his back in anger,

"Stop talking nonsense. Do as he has said. If he doesn't let you work in his company, then just call your father. I have done my best! Humph!

"

…

When Luo Lixi was waiting for the flight, she suddenly felt the need to wash up. She turned towards Pan Er Jiu and murmured,

"I will be right back.

"

The latter nodded.

Luo Lixi looked around and soon saw the washroom. After she entered, she began to take out some things.

'Makeup doesn't suit me at all…' While thinking, her eyes glanced at the mirror. The extra layer of makeup on her face made her disgusted. She was feeling annoyed thinking about the idea of applying makeup. She began to use the makeup remover and slowly removed the extra layer from her face.

When she was done, her eyes stared at the reflection of her face. She nodded and then pinched her cheek. While thinking, Luo Lixi remembered about the injury of Sheng Ruming's cheek.

A burst of broken laughter rang out throughout the ladies' washroom. Luckily, there wasn't a third person present or they would have considered her as a crazy person for sure!

Suddenly, a lady came in. Her face had a very anxious expression while her eyes were in search of someone. When Luo Lixi's eyes met with the reflection of Kong Pipi's eyes, she froze and the smile on her face got stiffened.

In a flash, she put back the things in her purse.

Luo Lixi put on a stiff expression and turned towards Kong Pipi but her eyes didn't fall on Kong Pipi. She wanted to leave the place without having any interaction with Luo Lixi.

But Kong Pipi rushed towards the upcoming Luo Lixi and grabbed her shoulder. Then she violently shook her,

"Where… where is he?!

"

Kong Pipi shouted hysterically. Her eyes were red and beads of sweat began to fall as she asked Luo Lixi.

"Who? Who are you talking about?

" Luo Lixi asked as she yanked Kong Pipi's arms away. Afterwards, she stepped back and coldly stared at the opposite person.

"Lixiang, he… ah, I can't find him anywhere. You, you know his whereabouts? Don't you?!

" Kong Pipi stepped towards Luo Lixi and asked with panic.

Luo Lixi frowned. She eyed Kong Pipi for a few seconds and then said with patience,

"Pipi, I don't know. Also, there is no way I would know. On top of that, he is an adult and he can go anywhere… you know…

"

Luo Lixi abruptly stopped. Without knowing, she was going to talk about his habits with Kong Pipi.

"Well, I have to go.

" Luo Lixi left in a hurry.

Kong Pipi didn't follow up either. After Luo Lixiang left, he didn't come back and it made her uncle angry.

The person didn't even accept her call. When she saw Luo Lixi coming here, she left Elder Kong's side and came to ask about his whereabouts but now, she got disappointed.

"Damn you, Lixiang! Where the hell are you?!

" Kong Pipi stomped her heels against the ground and left in a hurry.

…

When Yan Luhan returned to Ming city, he went to his company. Then, the whole company was empty. Not even a single soul was working except the security guards.

He went to his office and turned on the lights. After he sat down on his king-sized leather seat, Yan Luhan remained silent for a long time.

Before turning on his desktop, his eyes subconsciously went to the photo frame. There, a young Ji Yanli was smiling smugly like a gangster.

It was a photo Yan Luhan had stolen from Sheng Ruming's phone.

Back then, the young Ji Yanli had the habit of snatching Sheng Ruming's phone to take photos on all kinds of occasions.

One day, she even went to the Sheng Villa at midnight to get his phone. It became so ridiculous yet she didn't care!

Because among them, Sheng Ruming's phone was different. It was modified and had the best features the young Ruming was working on.

After staring at her photo, finally, the man began to work on his files with a heavy expression.

…

When the mid-night came, Yan Luhan finished his work and went back home. As soon as he entered, he felt the atmosphere was strange.

In the living room, his parents were seated on the sofa, no one talking and the atmosphere was strangely awkward. On top of that, it was midnight.

Usually, his parents wouldn't stay awake late.

Yan Luhan walked ahead and sat down opposite of them. Watching him, however, they didn't change their expressions, neither did they ask about the thing he had gone for to the capital city.

The man opened his mouth first,

"Yesterday, a considerate amount was withdrawn from the company's fund. Mother, you…

"

Hearing him, Su Mengsi snorted and turned to Yan Luhan's father,

"Do I have to give an account of my spending to your son from now on? Just tell me and I won't bother you two anymore! Humph!

"

Father Yan frowned. In his life, the thing he least wanted was to piss off his hard-earned wife.

He turned towards Yan Luhan and said in displeasure,

"How can you talk in such an interrogating manner with your mother?! It's my company. Your mother can take as much as she wants!

"

Only after hearing him did Su Mengsi feel much better. Yan Luhan stood up and swept his eyes on them.

Then slowly he spat out each word with a cold demeanour,

"Father, there is also the share of shareholders. Also, I will go to the capital city some days later to negotiate a project. If you two continue to be like this… then you are making me helpless.

"

Hearing him, both of them had a reaction. Su Mengsi stared at him coldly while Father Yan shouted,

"If you have the nerve, say that again! What about your personal wealth? For which day are you saving them? You brat!

"

Yan Luhan didn't reply. Before such stubborn parents, he was speechless.

Suddenly some words came and he lifted his eyes upwards. Then, he saw Yan Ruomin walking down the stairs. Two maids were carrying her luggage.
