Extreme Joy Begets Sorrow (5)

As that scene landed into Huo Li's sight, his brow twitched. As he looked on, he felt a tinge of pain as big sis showed her rare gentle side, and started coughing loudly.1

"Ahem ahem ahem!"

"..."

No one paid any heed to him.

Lu Zhaoyang's anger and dejection had long disappeared, and simply lay in Huo Yunting's arms, as she wordlessly comforted and supported him.

The man simply kept his eyes closed, and enjoyed her hug, his smile imperceptible.

This feels...

Damn good!

The news of Xiangyuan Corp securing the port project spread like wildfire.

And the people who thought Thunderbolt was the assured victor were in disbelief.

They never thought that Xiang Jinxi could manage such a counter blow after being hit hard by Huo Yunting for so long, and that counter blow was a beautiful one!

The media too immediately reported the matter.

[Thunderbolt Corp lost, will Xiang Jinxi be the ultimate winner?]

[A miraculous revival of Xiangyuan Corp!]

In the past few days, the media had been pumping out news like this, and were full of praise of Xiang Jinxi, and within a night, all negative news about him seemed to have been swept away.

And that did not just shocked or disappointed the bystanders, even the business circle was astounded, and even threw a couple of sneers Huo Yunting's way.

Even the internal morale of Thunderbolt Corp was battered, and clearly that lost had sent their morale into the gutters.

"I never thought Mr Huo would lose..."

"We had been pressing Xiangyuan for so hard earlier, and we thought that the boss will be able to wipe out Xiangyuan once and for all, that's just so disappointing!"

"Did we overestimated Mr Huo's capabilities? Perhaps he was not as good as we thought he was."

"..."

Lu Zhaoyang had eavesdropped the conversation from outside the lavatory, and with a darkened expression, she pushed the door open.

"Since you're so disappointed in Thunderbolt, you might as well get lost now, no point having the company being a roadblock for your career advancement!"

"Secretary Lu..."

The few female office workers were so scared their face turned pale. "We..."

Lu Zhaoyang walked over, as her three inch heels tapped hard against the floor in rhythm, making her all the more imposing.

She swept her chilly gaze across the three, as she crossed her arms. "If you want to resign, please do it now, I'll get the HR to process it immediately. If you want to stay on, learn how to stay your tongue!"

"We won't do it again..."

"Good!". Lu Zhaoyang exclaimed. "Tell the others as well, if I hear anything of the sort again, that person will be fired on the spot, no exceptions!"

"Yes, we understand."

The three then left the lavatory under Lu Zhaoyang's cold gaze.

Lu Zhaoyang heaved a sigh as she forced herself to smile, and went to the CEO's office."

She saw Huo Yunting had buried himself under a pile of documents, and immediately stepped forward to help. "I'll settle this for you. Get some rest."

"..."

Huo Yunting pursed his lips.

For the past few days, Lu Zhaoyang had been doting on him like she did with Xuxu, and was doing everything for him.

"No need, I'll do it."

Lu Zhaoyang could only brew a cup of coffee for him. "What you want to have for dinner later? I'll go back now to prepare."

Huo Yunting without any hesitation named a few dishes, the ones that needed a good amount of preparation time.

After Lu Zhaoyang finished her work she went home to prepare, and by the time Huo Yunting got home, she had prepared a feast.

He finished the meal with much satisfaction and lay lazily on the sofa as he played with Xuxu who was watching cartoons, his expression was more relaxed than ever.
