Chapter 32 Young Master Wan, please have some self-respect!
The next day, Zhu Ziqing arrived at the company early.
She was dressed in a simple yet appropriate business suit, her steps were light and firm, and she exuded an aura of confidence and competence.
Department head Wang Dazhuang strode over with a serious expression and said to Zhu Ziqing, "Take this proposal and find some time today to go to MiYou Company. Mr. Liu from MiYou is back from Kyoto, and you need to give him the new proposal."
Zhu Ziqing nodded slightly, understanding that this was an important task.
She remembered that she had been assigned by General Manager Liu to be in charge of this project, and a determination welled up in her heart. She was determined to complete it with all her might and never let General Manager Liu down.
She returned to her workstation and carefully checked the proposal again.
Only after ensuring everything was in perfect order did I begin to handle other work-related matters from the morning.
After a busy morning at the company, Zhu Ziqing finally finished dealing with the urgent matters at hand.
She quickly tidied her makeup, picked up the folder containing the proposal, and hurried to MiHoYo.
Throughout the journey, she kept replaying the contents of the proposal in her mind, thinking about how to better present her plan to General Manager Liu.
Upon arriving at MiHoYo, Zhu Ziqing explained her purpose to the receptionist.
The receptionist made a polite phone call.
Then a secretary came over and said to Zhu Ziqing with a smile, "Miss Zhu, please come with me."
Zhu Ziqing followed her secretary through the spacious and bright corridor toward President Liu's office.
The secretary gently pushed open the door to President Liu's office, and Zhu Ziqing walked in.
However, she was stunned by what she saw as soon as she stepped into the office.
Mr. Liu was seen sitting on the sofa talking to a tall man in a black suit.
The man was tall and handsome, yet exuded a cold and aloof air, and his deep eyes seemed to hold endless secrets.
The moment Zhu Ziqing's eyes met his, she felt a sudden jolt, and a bad premonition welled up inside her.
Countless images from the past flashed through her mind in an instant.
The unpleasant memories of those two years, which she had buried deep in her heart and tried to forget, surged back like a tide.
She never expected that at this moment, Wan Shao, who had once deeply hurt her, would reappear before her like a demon.
And he was looking at her with a smile.
To Zhu Ziqing, that smile was like a cold thorn, piercing straight into her heart.
Zhu Ziqing felt a surge of emotions within her, and her feet felt as if they were nailed to the ground.
She tried to turn around and leave, but found that she couldn't move at all.
The tall man slightly raised his head, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his eyes.
He looked at President Liu and slowly introduced, "President Liu, this must be Ms. Zhu Ziqing? I've heard that she's quite talented in planning. I'm also very interested in this project, so we can discuss it together."
Mr. Liu nodded slightly, looked at Zhu Ziqing, then at Wan Shao, and said, "So you know Ms. Zhu, Mr. Wan. You have unique insights into the business field. Ms. Zhu, why don't you give Mr. Wan a good presentation on your project?"
Zhu Ziqing took a deep breath and forced a professional smile onto her face.
But his voice still trembled slightly: "Okay, Mr. Liu."
Her hands gripped the folder tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force, as she tried to conceal her inner tension and unease.
Zhu Ziqing walked to her desk, placed her laptop on it, and opened the project proposal document.
She cleared her throat and began explaining the project: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Wan, this project mainly targets current market demands and combines them with the unique features of MiHoYo to create a brand-new interactive experience game..."
She spoke at a moderate pace, and her voice was clear and pleasant.
But only she knew how fast her heart was beating at that moment.
During the explanation, Zhu Ziqing could clearly feel a burning gaze fixed on her from the side.
She knew in her heart that it was Wan Shao's gaze.
But she chose to ignore it and forced herself to focus all her attention on explaining the proposal.
Suddenly, Mr. Liu's phone rang.
His expression changed slightly after he answered the phone.
After saying a few words to his secretary, he hurriedly got up and left the office.
Zhu Ziqing was talking about a crucial point and didn't notice that General Manager Liu had left.
She continued to explain the proposal with focused attention until she was almost finished.
She looked up and realized that only she and Wan Shao were left in the office.
Her heart tightened suddenly, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside her.
The air in the office seemed to freeze instantly, leaving only Zhu Ziqing and Wan Shao.
The smile on Zhu Ziqing's face vanished instantly.
She quickly closed her laptop, picked up the folder, and got up to leave.
Her movements were slightly flustered, her steps hurried, and her eyes revealed her rejection and unease towards Wan Shao.
Wan Shao watched her retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.
There was a hint of amusement in his smile: "What, you want to leave as soon as you see me?"
Zhu Ziqing ignored him and quickened her pace toward the door.
But just as her hand touched the doorknob, Wan Shao's voice rang out behind her again: "Do you think you can escape me?"
Zhu Ziqing's body stiffened slightly.
She took a deep breath, preparing to open the door and escape from the office.
Zhu Ziqing's heart was pounding wildly in her chest.
She rushed to the door without thinking, her hands trembling as she grabbed the doorknob.
All she wanted to do was open the door and escape immediately, to get away from this terrifying place and this horrible person in front of her.
However, Wan Shao was faster than her.
He flashed by like a black shadow, closing the door ahead of everyone else.
The loud "bang" sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet office, completely cutting off Zhu Ziqing's escape route.
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed Zhu Ziqing's arm and pulled her into his arms.
Wan Shao held her tightly, calling out affectionately, "Qingqing..."
Zhu Ziqing's body instantly stiffened.
She stared coldly at Wan Shao, her voice like an icy blade: "Wan Shao, please have some self-respect and let me go!"
Wan Shao seemed not to hear her, and instead hugged her even tighter: "Qingqing, do you know how hard I've searched for you? In the past two years, not a single day has passed without me thinking about you."
Zhu Ziqing glared at him angrily: "Young Master Wan, it's all over between us a long time ago. Your continued entanglement will only make me hate you more!"
Zhu Ziqing struggled desperately, trying to break free from Wan Shao's embrace.
She twisted her body forcefully, pulling her arms outward with all her might.
But Wan Shao's strength was simply too great.
His hand gripped her wrist tightly like an iron clamp, causing Zhu Ziqing to wince in pain.
She gritted her teeth and angrily warned, "If you don't let go, don't blame me for being impolite! I'm not the Zhu Ziqing you could manipulate two years ago!"
