Before lunch, it was the ti for the eting regarding the new project that Lu Lijun had to handle.
Noah ca to Lu Lijun’s office, "Boss, are we having a eting."
Hearing word boss, Lu Lijun glared at him, and Noah sighed, "You won’t let call you the fourth young master then how am I going to address you in front of others. We need to follow certain rules, you know."
Noah was right, so Lu Lijun couldn’t say no to it. "Only in front of others," he warned, standing up from his chair, being ready to leave for the eting.
"That’s what I’m saying," Noah smiled and added, "I liked how Mr. Xiao Min calls President Lu a boss. It suits President Lu perfectly, the real boss."
Lu Lijun frowned, "Do you want to be President Lu’s assistant?"
Noah smirked, "I don’t mind, but there is soone who will."
Lu Lijun passed him a killer gaze, and before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door.
The receptionist opened the door, "It’s ti for the eting. Everyone is waiting in President Lu’s office."
The two left to go to Jiang Yuyan’s office. Noah smiled, being curious what Lu Lijun would have said if the receptionist wouldn’t have disturbed them.
"You must be happy for this project," Noah comnted.
"Why would I be?" Lu Lijun comnted coldly.
It surprised Noah, "I thought you would be excited."
"I have so many projects to handle to get excited for one," Lu Lijun countered.
Noah doubted sothing, "Did you check the project information file?"
Lu Lijun nodded, and Noah was even more surprised to see his reaction. Before Noah could say anything, they already reached Jiang Yuyan’s office for the eting.
Noah opened the door, and the two entered the office as they saw two n sitting on the couch opposite Jiang Yuyan as Xiao Min stood on one side.
Seeing one of the two n, Lu Lijun was surprised as the man turned his face to look at Lu Lijun.
"Jake?" Lu Lijun spoke in surprise.
Jake stood up and shook hands with Lu Lijun. Jake didn’t expect Lu Lijun to be surprised as he thought Lu Lijun must know it.
It didn’t surprise Noah as he already knew about it. Noah stood beside Xiao Min.
When Xiao Min brought the file to Lu Lijun in his office, Lu Lijun read the information about the kind of project it would be while talking to Xiao Min and enquiring about Jiang Yuyan and Wen Zac.
Once Xiao Min left, Lu Lijun was imrsed in Jiang Yuyan and Wen Zac’s thoughts that he didn’t bother to read further where it ntioned who would be collaborating partners.
Before he could read after getting back to his senses, Noah ca to the office, and he couldn’t read.
Lu Lijun shook hands with Jake as he understood Jake was there as a business delegate and treated him the sa.
Xiao Min spoke, "Fourth young master knows Mr. Jake," and then looked at the middle-aged man with Jake, "et Mr. Pitman, the Project manager."
Lu Lijun shook hands with him as they gritted each other. They introduced Noah to Mr. Pitman, and the talk started once Lu Lijun sat beside Jiang Yuyan.
After Noah, it was finally Jake’s turn to face the lady who had been affecting their friend for long even though they were apart.
Noah looked at Jake. Though they had neutral expressions on the faces, their eyes were enough to convey what went in their minds.
Those aningful gazes talked about Jiang Yuyan as if one said, ’The only reason that could affect our friend,’ while the other replied, ’No wonder,’ as he was amazed to see this powerful lady.
Lu Lijun looked at Jake and noticed how he looked at Noah and understood what must go in his friend’s minds.
The three paid attention to what Jiang Yuyan talked to the project manager. Though Jake could understand and speak Chinese thanks to his friends and elder brother, the project manager was not familiar with it.
Jiang Yuyan talked to him in English, and she looked even more impressive to Lu Lijun. She was confident and intimidating to make others agree with what she said.
It was not like Noah, and Lu Lijun never saw her talking in business etings, but she seed more impressive today. She was grown up in the USA, so it was not a big deal for her, but the way she carried herself was sothing to admire about.
Yuyan talked to Jake, and she treated him like a business associate and not Lu Lijun’s friend. Jake, too treated her the sa way and not as the family mber of his best friend.
After almost an hour, the eting was over after discussing the project and getting opinions from everyone present.
"Mr. Lu Lijun would be handling the project," Jiang Yuyan inford Jake and the project manager from Jake’s side.
Jake was happy to hear it and replied, "I’m glad to work with him." The sa went for Lu Lijun, as he liked the idea too.
Standing up, Jiang Yuyan shook hands with the two guests and inford, "See you again once the things are ready from the legal team. Mr. Noah would carry out the process."
Though the three friends didn’t show on their faces, inside, they were happy as they got the reason to be together for long.
Everyone ca out of Jiang Yuyan’s office as Jiang Yuyan bid them farewell.
It was lunchti, so Jake instructed the manager to return to the office, and he would be there soon.
The manager left, and Jake spoke to his friends, "How about lunch together?"
The two nodded, and they went out for lunch. Lunch was not the important thing, but they needed to talk about this sudden change that fell into their net.
Moreover, it was the first ti Jake saw and t Jiang Yuyan, so how the things could end without even talking about it.
=====
***A small teaser of future plot..
There was a knock on the door and Jiang Yuyan opened it just to see Lu Lijun standing while taking the support of the wall.
"What are you...."
"I am tired," he replied.
Jiang Yuyan could see he was not lying. His hair ssy, shirts top buttons opned, the tie was missing, and he held the jacket of his black suit in one hand.
"Go and rest..." she instructed.
"That’s why I’m here." Interrupting her, he barged in her room as he strode towards her bed.
"I ant to say go to your room," she exclaid.
But the tired man ignored her and climbed in the bed as he lay on his stomach, "This bed is so comfortable."
Caressing the bed with his palms and sniffing the scent in it, he closed his eyes while Jiang Yuyan could only frown, not willing to disturb him.
