“Yang Yang, I know I should not have been so unsympathetic to you earlier, but I have been driven into a corner. Xiang Jinxi…”
Wearing sunglasses and a straw hat and sunbathing on the deck of the cruise ship with little Huo Xu, Lu Zhaoyang was shocked as she listened quietly to Xue Yuming about what happened in the Huo family.
The involvement of Xiang Jinxi was a shocker. She finally understood why Ge Yu had offered her the job on the spot and given her so many perks and privileges. Perhaps Xiang Jinxi had long known her identity; he was using her to get to Thunderbolt Corp, clinching a deal with it so that he could understand better the capability of Thunderbolt.
Now that Xiang Jinxi had defeated the Huos, and naturally, his next target would be Huo Yunting and Thunderbolt. Xiang Yuan Corp. must not be taken lightly as Xiang Jinxi was decisive, sometimes stubborn, and ruthless.
“Yang Yang, mom is not asking for anything but please help Yunting in Thunderbolt. I heard from your Uncle Huo that you once worked for Xiang Jinxi; you should be able to help! The Huos need Thunderbolt’s help, so we must not allow anything to happen to Thunderbolt. Your Uncle Huo’s hair has turned gray overnight, and he will be devastated should he lose the only hope he has. I would rather die than seeing something untoward happens to him. Yang Yang, you must help us!”
Xue Yuming nervously held the phone, looking forward to Lu Zhaoyang’s answer. Not only that she was facing the crisis of the support of a wealthy family, but also the risk that the old lady would come after her if Huo Zhenning’s health deteriorated. Her plan was not only for Yang Yang to help Huo Yunting fend off the attacks of Xiang Yuan Corp, but also to rebuild her relationship with Lu Zhaoyang for her own sake. Everything would blow up in her face if Yang Yang left for overseas.
“Yang Yang…” Xue Yuming pleaded again.
“All right. I will see what I can do.”
“Really? That’s great!” Xue Yuming was so relieved that she almost cried out.
Lu Zhaoyang hung up quietly. Although her relationship with her mother had been stormy in the past, she could not go so far as to watch her mother lose her security of life. Moreover, she could not stomach the fact that Xiang Jinxi had made use of her.
Again, she had to take more leave. She hoped that her company would not fire her for that. Putting her phone back into the bag, Lu Zhaoyang turned to look at her son. “Xuxu, let us go to the city.”
“Is that a fun place to visit?” the little guy asked with a sweet voice.
“It is a beautiful place where I once worked. Would you like to go there?”
“That sounds good!” Huo Xu nodded excitedly and was full of curiosity.
The next day, Lu Zhaoyang flew to the city with her son. After the vacation, she was in better shape. She headed straight to Thunderbolt Corp as soon as she landed.
It had been four years since she was last here. The building still looked as majestic and familiar as before.
“Yang Yang, which level did you work on?” Little Huo Xu looked up at the tall building.
“Top most floor.” Lu Zhaoyang smiled and brought him into the building. She did not give Huo Yunting a heads-up about her visit. As she approached the reception counter, Lu Zhaoyang found that many things had changed; the receptionist was new.
“May I know who you are?
