Ma Haodong could achieve what he just said easily. Being the sole heir of the Rongma Group, he could take over the company any day.
“No, that’s not what I meant,” Xiao Yuqian said. “It’s true that taking over your dad’s company can shorten your road towards success by 10 years, but that is his success, not yours.”
Xiao Yuqian hoped that Ma Haodong could achieve success and wealth through his own hard work.
Ma Haodong did not expect Xiao Yuqian to say that. She wasn’t proud that Ma Haodong was the heir of a large corporation. Instead, she thought that wasn’t supposed to be his.
If Xiao Yuqian wanted Ma Haodong to gain everything with his two own hands, then he was determined to do that.
“Alright, then. Since I’ve chosen the entertainment business, then I’ll focus on that,” Ma Haodong said. “Will you promise me to marry me if I win the Best Actor award?”
Realizing that she managed to change Ma Haodong’s mind, Xiao Yuqian smiled and nodded.
“I promise you.”
Ma Haodong stared at Xiao Yuqian as he smiled confidently. He had made up his mind to give his all to his acting career.
As long as he could win the award, then he could marry the girl he loved the most.
…
Xiao Yuqian and Ma Haodong arrived at the company together.
Since they always arrived and left the building at the same time, people were starting to gossip about them dating. But both of them denied the accusation.
When Xiao Yuqian and Ma Haodong got into the building, they ran into Niu Jiang.
Niu Jiang looked at them and smiled. “Miss Xiao, you’re looking great.”
Xiao Yuqian returned a cold smile.
Niu Jiang then turned to look at Ma Haodong.
“Looks like our Miss Xiao is treating Mr. Ma here pretty good,” Niu Jiang insulted. “I can see you two together all the time. That’s why people have been saying that Miss Xiao here is a cougar.”
Xiao Yuqian glared at Niu Jiang. “Mr. Niu! You’re going too far with your words!”
“Oh? Did I say something wrong?”
Niu Jiang smiled at both Xiao Yuqian and Ma Haodong, his tone filled with insults.
Xiao Yuqian gritted her teeth as she tolerated Niu Jiang, but Ma Haodong did not hold back. Insulting a young 20-year-old man was a mistake that Niu Jiang had made that day.
Plus, Niu Jiang had insulted Ma Haodong’s woman too.
Without any warning, Ma Haodong kicked Niu Jiang, sending him flying into the wall.
“Argh!”
Niu Jiang screamed in agony as he gasped for air.
That wasn’t the end of Ma Haodong’s wrath. He then closed in on Niu Jiang and punched his face.
Xiao Yuqian quickly grabbed Ma Haodong from behind to stop him from ruining his image.
“Hey! Stop! We’re in the company!”
If not for Xiao Yuqian, Niu Jiang would’ve ended up in the hospital that day.
But that did not mean Niu Jiang wasn’t injured. His face was covered in blood, and there was a cut above his eyes.
Xiao Yuqian pulled Ma Haodong back to her office and slammed the door shut.
“Why did you do that?”
