Zhong Feng looked at the petite woman before him with an imperceptible amused arch gracing his lips. The defiant look in her eyes made her appear like a small animal attempting to intimidate the entire jungle. However, he felt happy in spite of her upturned nose and the slight crackling of lightning in her doe eyes. Sohow, her presence made his heart beat anew.
"Miss Hu, thank you for coming in on such a short notice. I will get right to the core matter." His deep voice did not allow for an interruption.
Hu Lei could only listen.
"There is an international technology conference set to be held in Supre City. Nurous companies and personalities from around the world will be in attendance." He paused.
She nodded with interest to indicate that she was listening.
"I would like you to accompany to crucial etings with so important executives. An opportunity has arisen to collaborate with influential technological corporations from Russia and UAE. I cannot get a suitable interpreter on such a short notice." He explained with a frown.
Hu Lei could not help being annoyed that he had only considered her as a last resort. She did not know that Zhong Feng did indeed know an experienced interpreter. However, the woman knew nothing of propriety. Her attempts to capture his attention had bordered on illegal. If Zhong Feng did not have a clear grasp of the world, he would have been taken advantage of repeatedly. Moreover, he had chosen Hu Lei.
Naturally, he did not explain the circumstances. When he looked at her bristling at the implications, he felt an odd sense of happiness. He looked forward to seeing more of this little kitten. An eerie feeling flowed along Hu Lei's back, causing her to shiver.
"I can help you. But I will only be a short-term contractor." She said firmly.
Zhong Feng did not expect anything less. Judging from their forr interaction, it was obvious that she was not entirely willing to be in Etude Technologies. He was not clear about her situation, but he would have ti to find more out about this strange creature that had haunted him for the past weeks.
"Excellent. We are short on ti, so you must begin right away. Your primary role will be facilitating communication. You will need to learn all the crucial details about the company, products and operations. I will expect reasonable understanding of every aspect by Friday afternoon."
Hu Lei felt that the man was unreasonable. If he had required help, he should have reached out earlier. Etude Technologies was not an old business. However, it had grown trendously since its inception, and the company was involved in diverse fields related to software products, including security, gaming and general business.
The amount of content that she would need to study as a person without prior knowledge of the company was extensive. If a normal person was required to understand everything in three days, they would not even grasp the basics.
However, Hu Lei would not be discouraged by this type of insignificant feat. Obviously, this man was trying to set her up for failure, and she would show him up.
"I will do my best, President Zhong." She said with a smile.
Zhong Feng stared at Hu Lei who was smiling in a peculiar manner with unmuted interest. She seed like a strange cartoon villain plotting sothing that was dood to backfire in her face.
However, looking at that smile with tiny tiger teeth showing, he could not help feeling that she was incredibly cute. That was the first smile that he had seen on her face that had not seed forced and proper.
Suddenly, their eyes t directly and they both froze in position, unable to determine what to do. Zhong Feng's heart seed to beat in loud distinct thumps, and his throat felt strangely dry. On the other side of the desk, Hu Lei's face heated up quickly, leaving her flushed to the tip of ears.
