Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The red sportscar

"Luo Yue, ah, Luo Yue, I heard that you are loyal to Shentu Jing. Is that right?" Shentu Chu twirled a ball point pen in his hands casually.

"He is my boss, naturally I will follow him," Luo Yue answered humbly.

"Your boss?" Shentu Chu laughed. "But he is in the grave! Are you going to follow him there too?"

"Mr Shentu, there are limits and boundaries to my loyalty. I stay loyal to him in this company because of my duty as his assistant and secretary. Loyal to him to death is a different matter," Luo Yue said, noticing the mocking tone in Shentu Chu’s voice.

"Since you say that there are limits and boundaries to your loyalty, then why don’t you work for me? How about you become my assistant? Your job scope will still be the same, so you’ll be comfortable," Shentu Chu offered him with a smile.

Luo Yue stiffened on spot. "Mr Shentu, I -"

"Your boss is already dead, so you have fulfilled your obligations to him. No need to feel sorry, you didn’t betray him. Now, I’m offering you a new job, giving you a chance to start all over again," Shentu Chu’s lips curved into a smile.

Luo Yue found that smile frightening and malicious, like a predator waiting for a prey. He couldn’t help but shudder.

Everyone in the company found that smile of his extremely weird and creepy. How could someone still smile when faced with booby traps and knives?

Shentu Jing hardly smiles at anyone. So when the new CEO smiles, everyone quickly became the most hardworking people in the world, as if an apocalypse was near.

A company is like a battleground, Luo Yue knew that. But a battleground is kept by powerful and smart generals.

Shentu Chu has earned himself a title of General so far. He had proved to be competent and ruthless. Luo Yue was well

"Mr Shentu, I appreciate your kind offer, but-"

"But what? Don’t you want to stay by my side? I will protect you from those rumours," He sounded like he was flirting with him.

Luo Yue looked at Shentu Chu, dumbfounded. These ambiguous words can be used on men too?

The usually strict Luo Yue had nothing to say against someone as unscrupulous as Shentu Chu.

Shentu Chu stood up and leaned over his desk to take a good look at Luo Yue’s face.. Luo Yue felt extremely overwhelmed by this gaze. It was making him uncomfortable and hard to think straight. It was as if Shentu Chu was examining him for some beauty pageant.

"I’ll consider it!" Luo Yue quickly said and pulled the glass door opened.

"Luo Yue ah, there are two types of loyalty. One is the blind loyalty, another is ....

Yours is the blind loyalty. I hope you can sincerely consider this,"

"Sir, why do you want to recruit him? He is Shentu Jing’s trusted assistant," Tang An walked out from a room behind Shentu Chu’s office chair. She had heard everything and didn’t get why Shentu Chu wanted Luo Yue. Luo Yue was known for being loyal to Shentu Jing.

The CEO office had three rooms. One room was the main room, while the other two are smaller rooms for other purposes.

"WAS Shentu Jing’s trusted assistant," Shentu Chu corrected her. "Tang An, one day when you betray someone, you’ll know the consequences of a guilty heart,"

Hearing that, Tang An felt worry, bowed and cast a glance downwards. She started to tremble, cold sweat rolling down her back.

"Sir, I will never betray you!"

Shentu Chu burst out laughing. "I wasn’t talking about you! Get up,"

Tang An collected herself before she reported.

"Then sir, what about Shentu Mingye? The last time you locked him in his house, he escaped,"

"I know. Just let him be for the moment. As long as he doesn’t obstruct my plans," Shentu Chu looked at his watch.

The time was late. He wondered if she was still there.

In the evening, Qiao Nian and Shentu Chu were taking a walk at a nearby park. The dark blue sky hung faint stars above their heads, the grand city of Shengjing was ever bright as always, light rays of the last sunshine shot through the skies.

"You don’t usually come out of your house?" Shentu Chu started up a conversation.

"My family’s strict. They won’t let me do as I please," Qiao Nian found that these three days with Shentu Chu had been one of the most relaxing ones in her life!

Back in the Qiao family, she had to watch out from her stepsisters and brothers’ schemes all the time. Because Qiao Nian was the daughter of the principal wife and doted upon by Grandpa Qiao, she enjoyed a higher status than most of the daughters in the family.

Everyone was jealous of her and her half sister. They wouldn’t stop to scheme

In the Qiao family, there was no love between siblings, only benefits and loses.

This was not the family Qiao Nian wanted.

Qiao Nian was still waiting for her half sister, Qiao Pulan to return home. The two had agreed to discuss that matter.

"Nian Nian? Nian Nian!"

"Huh?" Qiao Nian’s pupils flashed as she was pulled back to reality. Shentu Chu was standing in front of her.

"Are you okay? You were spacing out," he put a hand on her forehead.

"Not hot. No fever," Shentu Chu glanced at her with concern. Over the days they spent together, Shentu Chu found himself very comfortable and relaxed, especially when he was with her.

"I’m fine. Just lost in thoughts,"

Then Qiao Nian spotted a red sportscar in the distance behind them, face become pale instantly. She swallowed some saliva, forcing her heart to stay calm.

"Shentu Chu, I need to use the toilet for a while,"

"Hmm," he nodded.

Qiao Nian headed in the direction of the toilet. But she took a detour and walked towards the red sportscar.
