Chapter 137 The Awkward Blind Date

David was quite proficient. He quickly managed to find important information about buying out Cloud Advertising Company. He put the file on Charles' desk and said, "Mr. Lu, the person who I assigned to contact Ryan told me that Ryan was asking for a high price and he wanted to continue to work in Cloud Advertising Company. Will we still purchase it?"

"Of course we will." Charles was going to make Ryan pay for what he had done.

Since Ryan had liked bossing Autumn around in the past, Charles wanted to make hime know how it felt to work for Autumn.

Charles wouldn't tell Autumn how to treat him. That would be her prerogative.

"This matter needs to be settled as soon as possible." Charles couldn't wait to give Autumn a big surprise.

Under Charles' authority, David sped up the acquisition. As long as the price was good, Ryan would certainly be willing to sell the company.

Most importantly, since Autumn left Cloud Advertising Company, the business of the company had been going downhill and they hadn't landed a single big case in a while.

Of course, that was mostly because of Charles.

Charles was processing some files when Leila came by. "Mr. Lu, your signature is needed on this file, " she said.

Leila was very professional and methodical at work.

When Charles signed his name, Leila didn't leave immediately. She asked, "Mr. Lu, there's a banquet tonight. Are you going alone or..."

"I'm not going." He was worried that Yvonne might bully Autumn in his absence.

Therefore, Charles decided to go straight home after work these days.

Leila didn't say another word. She was still embarrassed at what had happened yesterday. Only with hard work could she win back Charles' approval. That was the only thing that was on her mind.

She wasn't in a rush. As his secretary, she'd have plenty of opportunities ahead, to get to him.

It didn't matter what Mrs. Lu was like. The most important t

s weight.

The funny thing was that he reminded her of the humanoid pigman in the TV version of Journey to the West.

Before they started their self-introductions, the man got a phone call and answered it right in front of Isla.

"I'm telling you, she's beautiful. I shouldn't have gone to see the other girl with you. It was a total waste of time."

Isla was disappointed to hear that. She didn't even want to introduce herself to him anymore.

"Mr. Zhu, I- I gotta go."

The man ignored her. Bam! He slapped the table and yelled, "Waitress! Where is the goddamn waitress?"

The waitress got scared and brought him a menu at once.

The man then realized something and said, "My surname is not Zhu. I'm Gordon Huang."

Isla gave a wry smile. She just blurted out whatever came to her mind.

The food Gordon ordered was oily and fatty, just like him. Isla gulped down three glasses of lemonade, and she was full.

She was thinking of an excuse to take off when the man glanced at her casually and said, "

Your aunt told me about you. You don't have a job right now. Women don't make much money anyway, and they are supposed to rely on men. If we get married, I'll be the one to provide for you, while you can stay at home and take care of the house and my parents."
