Ning Qing’s shout made him stop in his tracks. He slowly turned around. At this moment, the sound of cameras flashing rang through the air. Ning Qing wore a pair of high heels and stood on the announcer’s stage, grabbing everyone’s attention, and she walked slowly to stand in front of him. The flashing lights of the media outlets made Lu Shaoming upset. He frowned slightly and looked at the woman in front of him. Was this the girl who delivered the parcel to Mom two days ago? She wore a light pink striped shirt. It was tight at the waist, which highlighted her elegant and curved S line figure. On her small shoulders was a short blue fur coat. She matched it with a tight black pencil skirt and glitter peep toe high heeled shoes. Her hair was tied up into a simple bun. She looked sweet and did not forfeit the aura of a socialite.


Lu Shaoming could not help but glance at her twice. His voice was low and charming, and with no emotion, he asked, “What’s the matter?” His nonchalant att.i.tude made the reporters believe the rumours that he had amnesia. In the past, Young Master Lu could not pamper Ning Qing enough, and would not behave like that now. The reporters all looked towards Ning Qing, and only saw the small woman smile warmly. “Oh, Young Master Lu, I recently saw that your company had debuted the Cabbage Plume brand of cosmetics. You are recruiting a model for an endors.e.m.e.nt, so I went to your company to look for your marketing manager, wanting to recommend myself. But your company hasn’t given me any reply, and today, by coincidence, I’ve met Young Master Lu here. I want to know your decision.”


Upon hearing her words, the journalists fought madly to place their microphones in front of Lu Shaoming. After hearing that the two were going to collaborate again, this was a piece of explosive news. “Young Master Lu, is your company pushing the Cabbage Plume brand to debut in the Chinese market? We heard that this product has been a bestseller in the European market.”


“Young Master Lu, your company thinking of collaborating with Miss Ning?”


“Miss Ning has recently become the Asian amba.s.sador for the sly brand. Now she is mighty figure today. If your company chooses to be Miss Ning’s second endors.e.m.e.nt, it would create a huge profit for your company due to media attention from celebrities. Wouldn’t you be happy to do so?”


“Yes, Young Master Lu. Your company has not given Miss Ning a reply. Can we ask what the reason behind this is? Could it be that your company would treat a celebrity that is sincerely willing to work with your company like this?”…


Lu Shaoming’s handsome brows furrowed slightly, and he looked towards Zhu Rui beside him. Guang Qing did think of bringing Cabbage Plume into the Chinese market, but he was in America previously. This project had barely started and he was unfamiliar with it. Furthermore, he did not need to personally inspect every aspect of Guang Qing’s operations. Zhu Rui received his gaze and stepped forward. He bent down to whisper in Lu Shaoming’s ear. Lu Shaoming nodded his head and looked towards the reporters. He said elegantly, “We have yet to start the Cabbage Plume project officially, and we have not confirmed who the endors.e.m.e.nt model would be… Since…. Miss Ning is sincere in her intentions to work with us, we will add her to our list and give her a reply when the time comes.”


“Sure, Young Master Lu. Then we would antic.i.p.ate the collaboration between your company and Miss Ning,” the journalist said excitedly. Lu Shaoming looked sideways at Ning Qing. His thin lips curved upwards. “Miss Ning, are you satisfied?” Ning Qing pretended not to understand the meaning in his words, she nodded earnestly.


“Young Master Lu, I sincerely want to work with your company. To increase Young Master Lu’s understanding about me, I will gift you my photobook. I antic.i.p.ate Young Master Lu’s reply.” Xiao Zhou handed the photobook over. Lu Shaoming had a glace of her picture on the cover page, and he did not speak. Zhu Rui, who was behind him, accepted the photobook. Lu Shaoming turned to leave.


…


The press conference ended, and Xiao Zhou laughed beside Ning Qing and said, “Ning Qing, you are amazing. I still thought that you staged a chance meeting to seduce him and make Young Master Lu fall in love with you at first sight. But I think that you are borrowing the media to tell him that. You want him to examine this matter carefully, and you want to see his response.”


“Xiao Zhou, falling in love at first sight cannot be arranged; it can only be left up to true coincidence. If he did not fall in love with me at first sight, then wouldn’t I be doing this all for nothing? I got the chance to get close to him, so now I can only make use of the situation to let him fall in love with me again.”


“Okay.” Xiao Zhou nodded her head in agreement. She felt that Ning Qing’s plan was more of a long term one, but she had her doubts. “Ning Qing, do you think that Young Master Lu will choose you then?”


Ning Qing nodded her head and said, “Why would he not? Everyone knows that I am the best fit for this endors.e.m.e.nt. The reporters were right, he should be happy with this outcome. Xiao Zhou, you just need to wait for their phone call.” Sometimes, she also hoped that Lu Shaoming would not choose her because if he did not choose her, he would need a reason after all. She was a stranger to him now. What reason would he have for her? Ha.


“That’s great, Ning Qing. We have finally succeeded and took a step towards Young Master Lu.”


Ning Qing smiled and had a touch of self-depreciation. “Although we are successful, I am afraid…”


“Afraid of what?”


“I am afraid that I am a scheming woman in his eyes now. He would think that I am no different from any of the women who have approached him with vague intentions.”


He had said something to her. “You are satisfied now.”


Today, she set up a plan to wait for him to play a part in. He would definitely be able to tell that she did not lack fame, but she lowered herself to win his favour. He would definitely be able to guess her motives. He lost his memories, but his wit was still there. Furthermore, he did not have any feelings and was even more calm and collected in his thinking.


Ye Ting would definitely be chided, because the more she did, the more she did wrong. She was afraid that it would continue in the future. As she does more, Lu Shaoming will think about her more. It was the first time she felt that it was so hard battling with such a clever man. But Ning Qing felt sweet suddenly. She thought of when he had frowned and called her, “Miss Ning.” She knew it wasn’t much, but at least he acknowledged her existence. That’s something.


…


Lu Shaoming was sitting in the back of the luxury sedan. He looked toward Zhu Rui, who was seated in the pa.s.senger seat in the front. He asked, “Ning Qing just now; do I know her?” Zhu Rui knew from the start there would be a day when President would ask him this question, but he didn’t think it would be so quick. He didn’t change his facial expressions and shook his head. “No you don’t. President, what’s the matter?”


Lu Shaoming looked outside the window. The tall buildings were all familiar to him, but he still felt odd. He seemed to have forgotten many things. But other than the reason why he got into the car crash, he couldn’t remember what he had forgotten. He smiled mysteriously. “Ning Qing is setting a trap for me. She wants to work with me, but for some reason, the marketing manager did not use her for the endors.e.m.e.nt. So she used this opportunity today to let me know about this matter. She wants to push me to handle it. The only thing I don’t get is that she looked very popular, and why was she so pa.s.sionate about getting the endors.e.m.e.nt for Cabbage Plume? She didn’t seem to be lacking wealth. She must be lacking a person, then.”


Zhu Rui felt antsy. President still had something to say. If she were here to seek help from someone, who else would it be besides Lu Shaoming? Zhu Rui knew something was wrong. Madam chose a road that was hard to sustain. But if she did not take this route, then Madam had no other way.


The man in the back did not speak further. The car was quiet and Zhu Rui used the rear view mirror to carefully look at him. He only saw him crossing his legs elegantly, and he noticed his delicately sculptured side-profile. He lifted his head slightly and was looking out the window. Zhu Rui followed his gaze and saw it. A mall in the distance was showing Ning Qing’s press conference on the LCD screen. Ning Qing sat in the chairman’s seat. Her straight back was beautiful and upright, and she was elegantly open to the journalists’ questions. With every frown and smile, she was entirely attractive.


The window rolled down and he could hear the vibrant noise of the city. Lu Shaoming could clearly hear the journalist ask, “Then what about the person from the past?”


She said, “In the past it didn’t come, so in the future she would also go without…” Her gentle eyes were holding back tears. Lu Shaoming’s lips curled into a thin but mocking arc. He sneered, and his cold expression did not have any touch of warmth anymore. Ah, it turns out that she had a lover.


In his mind a moment ago, he thought of America, her tear filled face… Ah, it was such a joke.


“Who is the marketing manager now?” Lu Shaoming asked.


“Ye Ting.” Zhu Rui replied.


Lu Shaoming did not have any impressions of Ye Ting.


“Later let her come to look for me in my office.”


“Yes, President.”


…


Ye Ting knocked on the door to the President’s office and walked in. This was her first time walking in. Although she was nervous, she was also expectant. When she lifted her gaze, she saw that Lu Shaoming was sitting in the office chair. His right hand was taking a pen to edit a doc.u.ment. The way he grasped the pen was very proper, indicating great education that lead him to the corporate world. It was strict and proper. A man like him was extra suitable to hold a pen. He was so charming. Ye Ting stood politely by his side.


“President, you called for me?” Ye Ting stood by his office desk. “Yes.” Lu Shaoming was writing on the doc.u.ment. He did not stop writing. His voice was careless and casual. “Although I don’t remember how I promoted you to the position of marketing manager, I have looked at your resume and performance reports. It was a good choice. Since you came up to this position by your own hard work, then regarding the Cabbage Plume matter, did you make a mistake or do you purely have grievances with Ning Qing?” Ye Ting froze; he knew about it all?


“President, I…I don’t understand your meaning.” Lu Shaoming’s hand that was holding the pen paused. He stopped writing and brought along an air of domineering force.


Ye Ting was frightened, and as she was in a panic, she saw Lu Shaoming lift his head to look at her. At that moment, the sunlight streaming through the French windows was immaculate and splashed onto his body perfectly. The man removed his suit. He was wearing a white shirt underneath. He loosened two b.u.t.tons, and she caught a couple glimpses of his masculine, tan skin. His gaze was cold and strict. His eyes seemed to be two grand abysses, and with a gentle glance at her, she went numb from head to toe.


“You don’t understand? Okay, then tell me which celebrity do you plan to use for Cabbage Plume promotions?”


“…President… I chose the famous model that debuted from the Four Dan, Actress…An Ruoxi…” Zhu Rui quickly opened doc.u.ment on the small screen of the small device and pa.s.sed An Ruoxi’s image to show Lu Shaoming.


Ye Ting sneakily took a glance, and she was immediately upset. Zhu Rui definitely did this on purpose! He actually picked a picture of An Ruoxi dressed in a bikini…


“This is her?” Lu Shaoming did not seem angry but actually laughed gently. Ye Ting’s legs went numb. First, due to fear. Second, due to the man; his aura was too strong and domineering. That cold and hard gaze towards her made her want to worship him. “President, An Ruoxi she…”


“You are the marketing manager, you should know that we choose celebrities based on the product. Cabbage Plume has a good reputation on the international arena. You should choose a stylish, elegant and intellectual female celebrity to endorse this product. What is An Ruoxi? Full of makeup and still dull! An unfashionable product, this is your taste?”


Ye Ting did not have any words. Stylish, elegant and intellectual… Was this Lu Shaoming’s opinion of Ning Qing? Where did he see that in Ning Qing? She never saw him spare a glance towards another woman. What exactly did Ning Qing have? He still preferred her, even though he had amnesia now! “Secretary Zhu, please let Manager Ye listen to the recent 30 minutes of entertainment news.”


“Yes, President. Today, Miss Ning Qing mentioned the Cabbage Plume endors.e.m.e.nt to our President at the press conference today. 5 minutes after the press conference ended, both Miss Ning and Cabbage Plume went on the charts as the top trending topics on Baidu. We’ve still yet to create our own publicity for Cabbage Plume, but a single sentence from Miss Ning has done that. Cabbage Plume has yet to debut, but it has already gone viral.”


Lu Shaoming lifted his gaze to look at Ye Ting. “Do you know what you should do now?” Ye Ting did not dare object and immediately nodded, “I…I know…”


Lu Shaoming grabbed the pen again. His thin lips lacked emotion as he said, “You are an employee of Guang Qing, anything has to be done for the good of the company. You cannot inject personal feelings into this. This time, I won’t make a fuss about it, but if there is a next time, you can collect your belongings and leave.”


“Yes, yes.” Ye Ting frantically went out.


Zhu Rui saw Ye Ting leave, and he saw Ning Qing’s photobook by his hand and said in a dilemma, “President, do you want to have a look at Miss Ning’s portfolio?”


“There is no need.” Lu Shaoming did not lift his head.


“Then what should we do with it?” Lu Shaoming lifted his gaze and pointed to the spot on the coffee table where there was a pile of newspapers and magazines.


“Leave it there and you can also go. “Yes, President.”


…


Xiao Zhou received a call from the marketing department of Guang Qing, Guang Qing wanted to work with Ning Qing. In the afternoon, Ning Qing brought Xiao Zhou along to go to Guang Qing. Ye Ting signed the contracted with Ning Qing. “Manager Ye, our Ning Qing doesn’t have any requirements regarding the remuneration, but only one thing, our Ning Qing wants to partic.i.p.ate in the entire design project and its advertis.e.m.e.nts. Can you please prepare a desk here for Ning Qing, our Ning Qing will temporarily work here.”





“Ha.” Ye Ting was not surprised. “Ning Qing, you finally have a chance to get close to President. Now that you’ve won an inch, you want a mile now?” Ning Qing gracefully accepted Ye Ting’s provocative stare, she laughed. “You finally said it. Now the chance is here; why would I let go of it? If Manager Ye thinks that this is hard for you, then we would not sign this agreement now. Then how would I tell the media…” Ning Qing was threatening her!


“Okay, I will agree to all of Miss Ning’s conditions. After we sign the contract, I will order someone to prepare an office for you.”


Ye Ting quickly prepared an office for Ning Qing, but this office was simple and was less than 10 square meters, and it was situated in a narrow corner! Even the gla.s.s was broken.


“Ning Qing, what does Ye Ting mean by this? She is doing this on purpose.” Xiao Zhou did not want to give in. Ning Qing put down the objects in her hand and happily twirled around. “Xiao Zhou, we finally have a reason to enter Guang Qing now. Thinking about Shaoming working one floor above mine, I am breathing the same air as him. I feel very satisfied. As for these external conditions, what more do we have to complain about?”


“Yes, ma’am.” Xiao Zhou thought of their lofty aspirations. “Ning Qing, wait till you get the position of President’s wife back again, the first thing we would do is fire Ye Ting!”
