Xu Cheng’s heart was pounding in her chest. She hadn’t felt this restless sensation in a long time. It had been a while since a man had stared at her like this. It made Xu Cheng feel that she was still an attractive woman.
When she saw that the man was not speaking, Xu Cheng could no longer control herself. “Do we know each other? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Eric smiled. “Do you work here?”
When she saw the man’s smile, Xu Cheng felt like there were millions of butterflies fluttering around her stomach. She quickly nodded. “That’s right. I work here. I am a screenwriter.”
Xu Cheng suddenly felt that working as a screenwriter was great. When she mentioned her job title, it made her feel classy and impressive. Especially now, when she was talking to a man. When she mentioned her job to the man, she was very happy that she got to say “screenwriter” instead of just being someone’s unimportant “assistant.”
However, Xu Cheng had forgotten that she hadn’t even gone through the process and handed in the necessary documents to be admitted into the company.
When he heard Xu Cheng’s words, Eric nodded in understanding, his eyes calculating. “I heard you mention Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya just now. Are you a relative of theirs?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Xu Cheng sat a little straighter in pride. “I am Ruan Zeyan’s cousin, and therefore Ling Tianya’s cousin. I’m technically helping Ling Tianya out by coming here to work.”
Eric nodded blithely, but in his heart, he had begun to evaluate what kind of woman Xu Cheng was.
“Do you know Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya?” Xu Cheng was beginning to realize that something was off. This man had immediately mentioned those two people. Was there a reason for that?
Eric’s face was calm. “Who here doesn’t know Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya? I just asked because I became curious when I overheard you mention them on the phone.”
“Oh.” Just like that, Xu Cheng’s concern was brushed aside. However, his answer still frustrated her. When would she become a famous figure that everyone in the world recognized? “What are you here for?”
Eric took out his business card and handed it to her. “I’m waiting for my boss. Here is my business card.”
Xu Cheng reached out a hand to take Eric’s business card. She didn’t even get off the sofa.
A sliver of ridicule crossed Eric’s eyes. Who would have thought that the grand Ruan Zeyan’s cousin would be a woman who didn’t even know basic etiquette in social meetings?
In front of Eric, Xu Cheng began reading out the contents written on the business card. “Advanced Assistant of the Chairwoman of LAYNA International Corporation…”
No matter how ignorant and inexperienced Xu Cheng might be, she had still heard about the company LAYNA. Or, in truth, she hadn’t originally known about it. However, she had heard the Ruan Family mention it at the breakfast table, and it seemed to be a very powerful company that was comparable to Yuan Teng.
When she read the man’s business card, Xu Cheng naturally thought of Du Gang’s position. She couldn’t help but be shocked. Du Gang was just Ruan Zeyan’s assistant, but at the Yuan Teng Corporation, he was still a respectable figure. Du Gang’s words were the voice of Ruan Zeyan.
“Since Du Gang is so respected, does that mean that this man is also very powerful within LAYNA?” Xu Cheng wondered.
Xu Cheng thought this over and her gaze changed. This time, she observed the man seriously. He was beautiful and well-built, and he cared about what he wore. On the bridge of his nose, he wore a pair of glasses that must have cost at least six figures.
