Just as Yun Fan was about to leave, she heard Lu Lijun again.
"The new assistant sent him somewhere else till Xiao Min comes back."
Yun Fan turned to look at Lu Lijun, "But President Lu will need an assistant."
"He is new, so won’t be of any help with this project," Lu Lijun countered.
"The project details have been already sent to him, so he will come prepared," Yun Fan added.
Lu Lijun closed the file and looked at Yun Fan, "Let him study more."
"I understood." Yun Fan left, nodding a little.
Lu Lijun continued going through the files, and then he looked around. His sight stopped at Jiang Yuyan’s worktable, and he went there. He needed the laptop, and as Yun Fan left already, he didn’t wish to call her again.
He looked at the chair, which belonged to the President only, but to him, that chair was not entitled to anyone. It was something that belonged to his brother, which also belonged to him by default, and for that, he didn’t need to take anyone’s permission.
Not thinking much, Lu Lijun sat in the chair and opened the laptop to search for the things that he wanted.
Just then, the door of the office opened, and Jiang Yuyan entered as Yun Fan followed her.
They saw Lu Lijun sitting in the President’s chair. Jiang Yuyan didn’t find it odd while Yun Fan felt a bit off as it was her boss’s chair, and Lu Lijun was yet not the President.
Jiang Yuyan sat on the couch as Yun Fan kept the files on the center table in front of her.
"Get me another laptop," Jiang Yuyan ordered.
She picked up the file, and started her work and looked like Lu Lijun’s presence meant nothing to her.
Lu Lijun looked at her, but she was busy working and couldn’t move his sight away from her. The next moment the scene from the previous night flashed in front of his eyes when he barged in Jiang Yuyan’s room, and he immediately averted his sight.
’What the....’ he cursed and focussed on the laptop screen that he was working on.
Jiang Yuyan silently continued doing her work, and Lu Lijun did the same.

It was the day when Lu Lian had to start working at Ming industries. She reached there where Ming Rusheng’s assistant was already waiting for her just like the previous day.
The assistant bowed to her, "Good morning, Ms. Lu."
"Good morning. Are you here for me?" Lu Lian asked.
"Yes, Ms. Lu."
"Do I look like a kid who will lose her way in this huge building," she asked, her voice was calm, but there was sarcasm.
The assistant smiled lightly, not minding her words, "We just wish Ms. Lu to be comfortable here."
"Like this, I won’t be," she countered.
"I understood," said the assistant.
Lu Lian didn’t wish to get any special treatment there and wished to be treated like other employees, who were there only for the work.
"Which one is my office?" Lu Lian asked.
The assistant looked at the door, which was at a distance from Ming Rusheng’s office, "That one."
Lu Lian was about to step towards it, but the assistant stopped her.
"Mr. Ming Shihong is waiting for Ms. Lu?" The assistant informed.
"Is Grandpa Ming here?" she asked.
Nodding, the assistant stepped ahead and opened Ming Rusheng’s office door for her.
She entered the office where the elder Ming was sitting on the couch while Ming Rusheng sat in his chair behind the work table.
Ming Lan went to the elder Ming, who welcomed her smiling while she ignored Ming Rusheng to which he didn’t mind but couldn’t move his sight away from the pretty woman.
She wore solid off-white color, V neck, three fourth sleeves, knee-length pencil fit casual office dress paired with heels. Few strands of the hair moved to the back of her head and secured loosely as the parts of it left loose to fall on in front of her shoulder.
She bowed to elder Lu and talked while smiling, and Ming Rusheng could only look at her. The more he looked at her, the more he felt attracted that he didn’t want to accept.
Frowning at himself, Ming Rusheng averted his sight and focussed on his work as he heard the other two talking.
"Everything is set for you, and if you have any problem, Ming Rusheng is here. Don’t think twice before troubling him and if he doesn’t help you, just inform me," said elder Lu as Lu Lian sat quietly listening to him.
Ming Rusheng looked at both of them and how they didn’t consider him sitting in the same room as they talked about him.
’Grandpa is blinded by having a granddaughter-in-law for him,’ he thought and ignored them again just to hear his grandfather calling him.
"Rusheng!"
"Yes, grandpa," he looked at them.
"Go with Lian and show her new office. Make sure if she needs something else."
’Way to become someone’s slave from the President,’ Ming Rusheng thought as he stood up from his chair.
There was no way he could say no to his grandpa even though he wished to say it loudly. He liked Lu Lian that he didn’t wish to acknowledge, but the way things were going made him unwilling to do it.
Ming Rusheng went towards the door, and Lu Lian followed him. He opened the door for her, she stepped out, and Ming Rusheng followed her after closing the door.
Elder Ming smiled, looking at them, and mumbled, "Time to update my friend."
Ming Rusheng and Lu Lian reached in front of Lu Lian’s office. Ming Rusheng was about to open the door for Lu Lian, but before that, she grabbed the door handle and said in a low voice that only both of them could hear.
"Grandpa is not here, so no need to act."
Ming Rusheng stepped back and let her open the door as he followed her inside the office.
