"Mr. Bo, your formal suit has been delivered."
The receptionist walked in, pushing open the door, carrying an exquisite suit covered with dustproof plastic to report.
"Okay. Just leave it there."
Bo Jingyu didn't even lift his head as he dealt with official business.
"Mr. Bo, there's another thing. Juan Yi is urging you to be present."
He raised his cold, frosty eyes. "What?"
The receptionist was so scared that she shook her head vigorously. "N-No, it's not my idea. Just now, they called..."
"I'm getting engaged, not selling myself. They have no reason to dictate my time, nor do they have the right to interfere with my freedom. Just reply like this."
After saying that, Bo Jingyu buried himself in his work again.
"Okay! Okay!"
The anger pent up in his heart was like being squeezed in a narrow space. It couldn't be released, and there was no extra strength to widen the gap.
He was really annoyed.
Annoyed by getting involved in feelings, annoyed by dealing with those who wore masks, and even more annoyed by being entangled with a woman he didn't love or care about.
Buzz, buzz.
A sharp pain started to throb in the side of Bo Jingyu's head again.
He quickly pulled open the drawer, unscrewed the medicine bottle, poured out a few pills and swallowed them dry.
"Damn it. Stop appearing."
Stop appearing, the lingering obsession about Shen Ximan in his mind.
When his head hurt, her figure seemed to take root and sprout in his head, occupying his nerves and stimulating his heart.
She was the culprit who had turned his grandfather into a vegetative state.
She couldn't accomplish anything but causing trouble.
She was the thorn he hated the most and couldn't forget in his life.
Bo Jingyu got up resolutely, walked out of the office and headed straight for the reception desk.
The receptionist had just picked up the landline and pressed a number when she saw him walking over with a dark face like a gust of wind.
"Y-You, Mr. Bo..."
"I'll make the call."
"Okay, okay." She had already mentally prepared herself to be scolded.
But it's better to avoid trouble. If she could slip away, she would do it quickly.
Beep... beep...
"So, has the second young master agreed?"
It was Li Rui's lazy voice on the other end, but it sounded really annoying.
It was as if Bo Jingyu had to obey his arrangements.
Sure enough, you can't feed a dog too much.
"Mr. Li, it's me."
"S-Second young master!" Li Rui was so shocked that he immediately sat up straight.
He double - checked that the call came from the reception desk. "Why did you answer it yourself?"
Bo Jingyu sneered. "Wasn't it you who just ordered my employee to inform me? Come on, have you suddenly lost your memory and can't remember?"
"No, no, no. How dare I order you! It must be your employee who conveyed it wrongly! I just asked her if you could come to the ceremony venue earlier without delaying your time."
Li Rui wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said respectfully.
"What did you say in the previous sentence?"
"Whether you could come earlier without delaying your time..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was retorted by Bo Jingyu.
"You've already delayed me. How are you going to compensate?"
"Huh? This, I? What should I compensate for?"
"I was having an online meeting two minutes ago. Your urgent message interrupted my project," Bo Jingyu said with a sly and straight face. "So the compensation of 30 million will be deducted from the revenue of the last cooperation meeting. You should have no objection, right?"
Li Rui was so angry that he flew into a rage. "The cooperation meeting was a cooperation between A Hairui and us. How can you just deduct it like this!"
"I'm the sponsor. I have the right."
"..." He was instantly speechless.
Bo Jingyu didn't even need to blink an eye if he wanted to do something.
Just making a phone call to inform him was already his concession.
"I'll send the subpoena to your company account as soon as possible. Have a pleasant cooperation."
After the call was hung up, Li Rui was still standing there in a daze.
"Father?" Li Xiaoru wanted him to take a look after trying on the makeup, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw him looking like he had lost his soul.
"Father?"
He turned his face woodenly and stared at her coldly.
"You've found me a good son - in - law!"
She looked confused. "What? I don't quite understand what you mean."
"That bastard Bo Jingyu has cheated me out of 30 million!"
Watching him go crazy for money, Li Xiaoru suddenly lost her enthusiasm for the engagement. "You must have forced him to do something again!"
"What did I force him to do? I just asked him to come to the venue earlier to meet our relatives and some business friends! Is there anything wrong with that? Is there any problem? He clearly doesn't take you seriously!"
Li Rui gasped for breath, close to going crazy.
"How can I rest assured to hand you over to such a person!"
Li Xiaoru's head buzzed.
"What do you mean?"
"I plan to call off the engagement!"
She refused firmly. "No! You can't!"
This reaction stunned Li Rui.
"Aren't you always against it?"
"I just didn't react in time," Li Xiaoru trotted over and hugged his arm to act coquettishly in order to dispel his doubts. "Don't be angry. A powerful enterprise like the Bo Group must have its own three - dimensional business philosophy. We can't interfere."
"Moreover, we still have to rely on their power to grow."
Every word of hers hit Li Rui's desire.
It made him shift his prejudice and partiality to interests and the future.
"I was too hasty. You're right."
Li Xiaoru sighed with relief in her heart.
She had gone to great lengths to save this hopeless marriage.
But there was one thing she always believed. Even if there was no emotional foundation, as long as they got along for a long time, they would be touched to some extent.
Bo Jingyu sat in his office, staring at the suit on the sofa.
The ceremony was only an hour away.
But he didn't feel any joy or excitement at all.
The suit was sent in Li Xiaoru's name. He could easily execute the previous show of force, but he couldn't reject this suit.
After all, in the future, he would be her fiancé.
This was the order from his grandfather before he fell into a coma and must be carried out.
The position of the president couldn't be shaken. Otherwise, all his painstaking efforts over the years would be in vain. Moreover, the Bo Group was in a period of business growth and couldn't afford any mistakes at this time.
Looking at the signed and stamped document in his hand, Bo Jingyu's eyebrows never relaxed. The haze shrouded his mind and spread wantonly.
He flipped through a few more pages carefully, and his eyes fixed on the signature.
"Wen Jinrui?"
He had never heard of this name.
Among the people who had appeared on behalf of A Hairui so far, there was only a representative named Yan Kun and an assistant surnamed Wen. Could it be...
Bo Jingyu shook his head. "It's impossible."
Yes, how could that woman be the president of A Hairui.
He had conducted such a detailed investigation but still hadn't found any useful information. How could she be in charge of such a large company.
"I guess I've been under too much pressure recently."
Bo Jingyu rubbed the bridge of his nose, trying to comfort himself with reasons.
When he wanted to calm down and deal with some more official business, his thoughts always unconsciously drifted in her direction. So he simply got up and changed into the suit.
