Chapter 9 Came In From the Main Door

• The staff gasped at her words, while Ling Zhixiao's eyes were falling out of her sockets.
• This was the first time someone actually dared to challenge our President! Ling Zhixiao was deeply impressed by Jian Man's strong confidence! Indeed, she exuded the confidence of a strong woman who has worked with TE before!
• Fu Hanyu's eyes narrowed; the temperature dropped sharply around him. He then closed their distance, leaving less than a meter gap between them as he looked down at the shorter girl.
• “Mr. Fu, she was the Head of Department at TE's Strategy Planning Department.” Ling Zhixiao came back from her dumbfounded state and asserted loudly.
• She knew that no one could escape unscathed from Fu Hanyu's dangerous wrath.
• So this daring woman is from TE.
• TE had been the strongest competitor of Fu Corporation in the overseas market. Just last year, Fu Corporation had lost a major tender to that very company due to TE's exceptional proposal. Did that mean this old-looking lady before him was the brain behind that proposal?
• “Bring her in.” Fu Hanyu nodded as an amusing smile flashed for a millisecond across his eyes.
• Ling Zhixiao was finally relieved and couldn't hide her wide smile. Then, she realized her friend was staring blankly at her boss!
• This Jian Man! She was so confident just now; why on earth is she looking like a person who had just lost her soul now! Didn't she notice Mr. Fu's deep frown!
• Fu Hanyu's gaze had been lingering on Jian Man's eyes. Those eyes... it felt so familiar....
• “Mr. Fu, I think your subordinates are getting impatient. You have something urgent?” Jian Man smiled politely, her eyes curving into a half-moon smile.
• Fu Hanyu averted his gaze and turned to leave.
• It’s just the eyes. If that woman is really her, she would be glaring at me just now.
• When his figure disappeared from the lobby, the first floor began to erupt with chatter about Jian Man.
• “That woman, she must have done it deliberately! Trying to catch Mr. Fu's eye with such lowly tricks huh?”
• “That won't work. See those ladies around Mr. Fu; aren't they the most beautiful ladies in the company?”
• “That's right! Trying to get near Mr. Fu with such an ugly face? Definitely impossible!”
• Ling Zhixiao shrugged nonchalantly. “Man, you don't have to care about their sour comments. After all, Mr. Fu is still single and available despite being the good-looking man he is. He's the dream man of all the ladies here who have tried all ways to catch his eye....”
• Jian Man interrupted her, “What's there to care about? I'm already a mother of two; do I still need to mind such petty affairs?” Her children came into her mind as she said so. She had to protect Chen and Lan from being discovered by him.
• “True that. I have to get my materials now; Mr. Fu needs them urgently. For your interview, you can go to the waiting room, which is the last room on the 15th floor. By the way, what's the deal with your voice?”
• “I'll explain later.” Jian Man smiled in reply. To avoid further trouble, she would have to continue speaking in that hoarse voice.
• Ling Zhixiao pouted. “Ok.”
• Jian Man turned around and waited for the lift.
• There were three lifts at the lobby. While waiting, a tall gentleman in square-shaped rimless glasses came out of the lift on the left. He had a thick brow and fair skin, giving off a clean and neat impression.
• Qu Shengtian stopped upon seeing Jian Man, as though he had discovered something new. “Hey, you ugly woman. How did you manage to sneak in?”
• Jian Man returned a side-eye. “I did not sneak in. I came in from the main door.” Just then, the lift in the middle had arrived.
• She had no intention to talk with random strangers; she stepped into the lift wordlessly.
• Qu Shengtian waited and observed the floor number where the lift stopped. His eyes bulged in surprise at the number 15. That floor is for the audition of our product ambassador! How on earth did such an ugly woman enter the final round of the advertisement audition?
