A popular female live streamer with a constant stream of wealthy patrons.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Qinghuan discovered that there was an extra desk in her office!

A desk.

Does this mean someone wants to share this place with me? Nobody told me.

Just as Xu Qinghuan was about to turn around and ask Manager Wang, before she could even walk out, she saw Ryan walking briskly towards her.

"Have you finished the meeting?"

"Mm." Xu Qinghuan couldn't avoid it, so she could only nod with a smile.

Ryan waved the lunchbox he was carrying in front of her. "Hey, I drove an hour just now to buy this for you! You haven't eaten yet, have you? This food is delicious; it's a specialty of Weijing City."

"...No need, I'll just grab something to eat at the hotel when I'm done with my work. I'm not hungry right now."

"Just for a bite to eat, why are you so wary?" Ryan blinked, his handsome face feigning a hurt expression. "Afraid I'll add something to it? Then I'll take a bite first."

Xu Qinghuan was now forced into this situation, so she could only wave her hand awkwardly and say, "No, I'm really not hungry! I appreciate your kind offer, but I'll take it back to the hotel to eat later."

She knew that if she didn't accept it, Ryan would definitely keep arguing with her for ages.

To save time, Xu Qinghuan accepted the gift without hesitation.

“That’s right.” After saying that, Ryan walked straight into Xu Qinghuan’s office and sat down behind the new desk. “I’ll be working here from now on. Manager Wang said there are a few contracts that need to be signed soon, and it’s inconvenient for me to take them back to the hotel, so let’s sign them here.”

"..."

Ryan wants to share an office with me?!

Wait a minute, does someone of Ryan's stature really need to set up an office in a branch office project like this?!

His intentions are now crystal clear.

"By the way, you're going to Jingzhou City on a business trip next week."

Before she could protest, Ryan dropped the next bombshell.

Xu Qinghuan was stunned. "I plan to leave the country after finishing this project and not take on any more projects."

“Even if you’re going abroad, you still have to make money.” Ryan raised an eyebrow and spread his hands. “I have no choice. I can’t find anyone in the company who I think can do due diligence to my satisfaction, except for you! So for this project, all you need to do is go to Jingzhou City to do due diligence, write a report for me, and I’ll put your name on this project.”

In the past, Xu Qinghuan would have readily agreed.

After all, having an extra project credit has many advantages.

only……

"I don't want to go to Jingzhou."

"Do you have any bad memories from that place?" Ryan knew she was from Jingzhou, which was why he sent her there, and now that she said that, he guessed the reason. "Alright then, you—"

"Fine, I'll go! I'll take my two assistants with me." Xu Qinghuan suddenly changed her mind again, "I'm more familiar with Jingzhou City, and it's just due diligence. Send me the specific project details."

She felt suffocated by the recent events in Weijing City, and perhaps a change of scenery would be better! Besides, Ryan's offer was very generous; it would be a fool not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.

Another reason was that she thought she should go back and take one last look at Jingzhou before going abroad.

Look at the places I used to live, the places I worked, and... the places I went to school.

I don't know when I'll be able to come back next time.

Ryan gave an OK sign, his long, bright eyes crinkling as he smiled at Xu Qinghuan. "I have to meet with my family elders these few days, so I can't go to Jingzhou City with you. Be careful there, and call me immediately if anything happens, okay?"
