The eting was heated and two employees were fired in the process. This was nothing unusual when hotheaded director Lu was involved in the process.
“Here, black coffee just as you like, “Shen Yue said and passed him the cup when only two of them were left in the eting room. “Drink. You will have a more heated eting with the Board of Directors later.”
Lu Xuan nodded and drank the coffee, facing the tall skyscraper in front of him. “Thanks for the coffee.”
Shen Yue scoffed. “Don’t thank . I just made you coffee to cool you down. Our departnts are interlinked and when you fire an employee in your team, it affects mine too.”
“I’m pretty sure the fired employees are sent to your departnt, “Lu Xuan said, curtly. He was the director of the planning and operations departnt while she headed the marketing departnt. They had to work hand in hand on many projects.
“That’s not your headache, “Shen Yue pursed her lips. “See you after the eting, Director Lu.”
“Likewise, “Lu Xuan stared at her retiring back. Shen Yue was a force to be reckoned with in the office and pissing her off ant the death of his ntal health. Instead of directly heading to the eting, he entered his office as his calendar had suggested that he had to make an urgent call today.
Sitting on his chair, he facetid the person. “Hey, stranger.”
“Lu Xuan, if you are here to tell how miserable I’m, then scram, “The woman from the other side said as soon as her face beca clear. “I’m hungry. Tired. Annoyed. Oh yeah, I haven’t slept in three days. And I have a eting in five minutes. I might kill anyone. Don’t let it be you.”
“Co on, Xueyun, “Lu Xuan said as he made a face. “You are always busy at your shitty company. Why not join us? We can fix you in our finance departnt. I am sure you will do a better job than those old geezers who are always after my life.”
He didn’t ntion that he had been looking for qualified candidates to remove the old geezers from the spot. Those people had been misusing their authority a lot lately and he didn’t know why his mom didn’t say a word about it.
“Mr cruel capitalist, I’m sure you have fired so poor souls today, “Song Xueyun sarcastically said.
“That’s why I’m giving you a job, “Lu Xuan winked at her.
“Spare , “She huffed. “Anyways, why did you call ?”
“Woman, you haven’t called your best friend in a week and you dare to ask why? You know I set a tir on my phone to call you frequently because I don’t wanna give you a chance to complain that I ignore you, “Lu Xuan gaped at her. “Don’t tell you are dating a tool again and he demands you can’t have a male best friend.”
Song Xueyun rolled her eyes at the overdramatic male. “Who will date a woman who works one hundred and twenty hours a week? No, I’m not dating a tool who puts this condition.”
“Or you can accept that you have a crush on , “Lu Xuan winked.
Song Xueyun gasped at his audacity. She turned red in embarrassnt, “Asshole. That was forever ago. I never t any handso and good guys. So, I thought you were my one and only. Ugh, I curse the day I had a crush on you.”
Lu Xuan burst into a wide smile. “Seriously, you are the best girl in our circle and I can’t believe that soone as great as you can like an asshole like . You are right that I’m an asshole. But thank you for calling handso. I take pride in being called a handso asshole.”
“Still an asshole, “Song Xueyun muttered. “So, what’s up?”
“Nothing special just thought of saying hello, “Lu Xuan said with a sigh. He looked at her dark circles and asked, “Seriously, can’t you think of changing your job? You look like a seventy years old woman. Those people are killing you.”
“Thank you for the complint, “She gave him an ugly look. “But I make half a million a year. So, I would rather be a seventy years old unattractive woman than an unemployed bimbo!”
With this, she hung up the phone.
“Woah, soone is edgy today. But she seriously needs to change her job because the way her firm treats her isn’t worth that half million.”
Lu Xuan sighed and attended the eting after the call. Just as Shen Yue said, the eting with the board of directors was heated and even though he was ready for it, he wanted to punch each single of them and throw them down the building. He agreed that two people died but it was not her fault. He asked them to change the construction company because lately they had been doing a shitty job but to give a face to the chairman of the construction company, they went to sign another extension project.
When the eting ended, Miss Shen Qiao, his mother’s assistant, asked him to go to her office. Another round of sermons. Welco to hell, Lu Xuan.
“I will handle the matter, mother, “Lu Xuan said as soon as he entered the office.
“I’m not worried about that, “An Qinyan replied, her hands folded on her desk. Behind her, the Skyscraper looked even more gorgeous. She added, “You created the ss, you will clean it. I had no interest in that land but you wanted to do sothing big in that dirty area. Now deal with the consequences.”
“Thank you, mom, “Lu Xuan said. Soone had to dig in that dirty land to make it profitable and beautiful. He happened to be that person. “I assu that’s not why you called here.”

A/N: It took us lots of mistakes to realise sothing. Lu Xuan and Song Xueyun understood the dynamic of relationship and they are doing better than ever. Maybe, so bonds are just ant to be like this.
