Song Liangjiang looked around hurriedly, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

“Executive Assistant Li, what’s the matter?”

“Miss Song, because the Chu Corporation’s bidding this time is extremely important, the Chu Corporation has specially invited all the bidders to take a look at the designs of all the hotels, resorts, and commercial buildings under the Chu Corporation.”

“I can search online for them.”

“Miss Song, you don’t want the President to pick you up personally, right?” Li Chuan threatened her with a gentle smile.

Song Liangjiang suddenly thought of the gorgeously dressed women she had seen on the day of the party and she instantly understood.

So he was preparing her to take a bullet for him? No, she was going to chase away all the women for him.

“All right, I’ll go. How could I not go when President Chu personally invited me?”

It was mainly because the hotels, resorts, and commercial buildings under the Chu Corporation were designed by famous designers. The photos online were complete, but they were not as complete as the ones in the Chu Corporation’s collection hall. The details were even clear.

“Shall I pick you up tomorrow?”

“No need, I’ll go over myself. Executive Assistant Li, I know you’re busy with work. Don’t look for me if there’s nothing important.” Song Liangjiang ended the call and left with Little Rice Bun and Little Rice Ball.

“Mommy, are you going to work again?” Little Rice Bun rubbed against Song Liangjiang’s arms. His little mouth was pouting so much that it could balance a small bottle.

Little Rice Ball put down their school bags and sat down beside his mother. “When are you going, Mommy?”

“Tomorrow, but I’ll be in City A. So I can go home in the afternoon.” Song Liangjiang took Little Rice Bun out of her arms and fastened their seat belts.

Little Rice Bun exclaimed, his big eyes sparkling. He began to rattle off to his mommy what had happened to him and his brother recently.

Little Rice Ball sat quietly, his little fists clenched tightly on his little knees.

…

The Chu Corporation had built a new resort after ten years and the media had already started reporting about it two months ago.

The Chu Corporation had made a name for itself as a food and beverage company. Later on, they opened a chain of hotels all over the world. Due to their unique design and scenery, they had always been the leader of the hotel service industry.

However, in the past few years, due to some factors, the food and tourism industry had been seriously affected. Naturally, the Chu Corporation’s reputation was affected.

However, the first thing Chu Jingmo did when he became the President of the Chu Corporation was to build a new resort. This was undoubtedly courting death.

Not only did Chu Jingmo want to build a new resort, but he even forsake the famous architects he had worked with in the past. Instead, he wanted to invite bidders.

There were a total of seven companies that were bidding this time. Other than the two young men, the rest of the people who came to the Chu Corporation to visit and learn were all ladies.

The Chu Corporation had a floor that was specially used to store hotel models, and every room had a model of either a hotel or resort. This was probably a place that all architects wanted to enter.

Along the way, Song Liangjiang heard the complaints of many company’s employees. She followed behind the staff slowly, hoping to hear more people scolding Chu Jingmo.

It was comforting to hear more of such complaints.

The more she listened, the happier she became. However, she didn’t realize that she had left the main group. By the time she realized, she had already followed the staff to the pantry.

The two employees who were badmouthing their boss looked at Song Liangjiang warily. “Who are you?”

She didn’t know what embarrassment was. She leaned against the door and waved her hand, as if they were familiar with each other. “Because I think you’re right. Other than Chu Jingmo’s excellent family background, there’s nothing good about him.”

When the two staff members saw their boss standing at the back, their eyes instantly widened. “You, don’t spew nonsense. We didn’t say that. President Chu is so capable. He is filled with merits and strengths from head to toe, okay?”

As the two of them spoke, they hurriedly squeezed past Song Liangjiang and fled. When they went out, they even greeted the President respectfully.

Song Liangjiang was speechless.

How did it feel to be caught talking bad about someone?

Awkward!

It was embarrassing!

Chu Jingmo approached Song Liangjiang and stopped behind her. “Continue.”

She turned around with the laptop in her arms, but she didn’t expect Chu Jingmo to be so close to her. Thus, she bumped into him and lost her footing.

Song Liangjiang tugged at Chu Jingmo when she was about to fall. He didn’t expect her to pull him, so the both of them bumped into the shelf filled with coffee.

In the blink of an eye, when the cups and coffee fell, Song Liangjiang grabbed Chu Jingmo and lay in his arms. The cups, the coffee packets, and coffee beans all hit his back.

Chu Jingmo’s expression instantly turned cold. Before he could grab Song Liangjiang, she scrambled to her feet and ran away with her laptop. As she ran, she turned around and looked at him. He was the one with ill intentions!

Chu Jingmo was covered in coffee beans as he watched Song Liangjiang run away. Did he find this woman to infuriate him?

Li Chuan hurriedly walked in. Before he could say anything, he caught the blazer that Chu Jingmo threw over. “Change all the coffee beans in the building into packets of coffee.”

Li Chuan hurriedly trailed after his boss. He had a hunch that his future would not be smooth-sailing.

“Get Song Liangjiang to meet me in my office.” Chu Jingmo strode very quickly. It was obvious that he was in a hurry to change his clothes. Some of the coffee beans slipped into his collar and he felt uncomfortable.

Li Chuan stepped forward and opened the door for him. “Miss Song is here to learn as a designer. She’s not our company’s partner yet.”

Moreover, even if she was working with them, she wasn’t an employee of the company.

Chu Jingmo entered the office and stopped to look at Li Chuan. “Then get Mrs. Chu to see me.”

Li Chuan was speechless. He could only pray for Mrs. Chu in his heart.

As Song Liangjiang was asking about the floor which housed all the models, everyone had already begun to get to work. She registered at the entrance before entering.

“Do you think we’ll be able to see Chu Jingmo this time? We only met him at the party that day, but he’s really handsome. Previously, I felt that there wouldn’t be anyone in this world who would be as good-looking as Xie Yu. I didn’t expect President Chu to be even more handsome than Xie Yu.”

“If only my design could win the bid this time. Wouldn’t I be able to meet President Chu then?”

Song Liangjiang pursed her lips and listened to the ladies. She looked down at the design of the Suzhou garden in front of her. This was the Chu Group’s resort in America.

“But I heard that Chu Jingmo made a bet with the shareholders of the Chu Corporation this time. If the Chu Corporation’s finances don’t double in the next three years, Chu Jingmo will have to leave the board of directors.”

Song Liangjiang’s ears perked up. How could she miss such good gossip?

Li Chuan came over to look for her and noticed her listening to the gossip. He hoped that Miss Song would still be in the mood to listen to gossip later.
