Chapter 667: Chapter 667 'That' nigh

Chapter 667 “That“ nigh

The conference room inside Lu Corps was wash with silence as no one dares to make a sound. All the board members held a pale expression, but Xu Long was the only one who held a satisfying smile as his head nods in agreeing to his boss.

"T-This…"

Qian Chi Xue was at a loss. His eyes wide with his mouth and his facial expression did not hide how shock he was. Lu Tian had been a good mood during the meeting, so he thought it was the perfect opportunity to try and convince the man.

However, he never expected Lu Tian to not listen to him but also order him to turn in his resignation letter.

Isn't Lu Tian worried that he will get angry and sell the ten percent shares he has of Lu Corps?

As the silence continues, the phone inside Xu Long's pocket vibrates. He looks away from Qian Chi Xue and takes out his phone. At first, he thought it was a phone call, but to his surprise, it was a message.

Quickly unlocking the screen, he reads the contents inside. His expression started with a frown, before his lip purse in confusion, then it finally ends with shock.

Closing the message, he shoves his phone inside his pocket again and takes a big step towards his boss.

"Boss, I'm sorry to interrupt, but…"

He pauses in his words and glances at the people inside the room. He didn't dare to say any more until Lu Tian gives him the cue. When he saw the small nod from the aloof man, he proceeds to explain.

However, aware of his surrounding, he leans closer to Lu Tian and spoke in a voice that only he (Lu Tian) can hear.

"There's an important matter regarding…"

Lu Tian calmly listens to his assistant, but despite his ears being distracted, his dark gaze never moved from Qian Chi Xue.

Until the assistant was done and takes a step back into position, Lu Tian rose from his seat.

"Director Qian, no, Qian Chi Xue. I said before that I have no use for those who oppose my decisions. I expect a report from HR of your resignation letter."

He grabs the front of his suit jacket and with a small tug, he straightens it in place.

"The meeting will end here today."

Lu Tian walks out of the conference room with Xu Long following behind. All the board of directors was frozen in place as no one could find the strength to stand up.

They had all tried to listen to what Xu Long had to say but was unable to hear anything. What could be so important that Lu Tian would end the meeting like this?

Unlike the others in the room, Qian Chi Xue was as pale as a ghost. His daughter had just been fired and now, Lu Tian didn't care to give him any face and fired him. How is he supposed to support his family?

Entering his office, Lu Tian strides to his desk to sit. Behind him, Xu Long was beaming with joy on the inside and outside.

The assistant couldn't help but be thrilled that they did not only get rid of the evil vixen, Qian Li Li, but also her wicked father.

He comes to a stop in front of Lu Tian's desk and rubs the tip of his nose like he was trying to get rid of his joy.

"Boss, regarding the matter with—"

"Approve."

Before Xu Long could finish his words, Lu Tian cuts him off. Lowering his head, he sees pieces of paper scattered on his desk and he gathers them together into a file folder.

"Notify them. I will personally be there."

His words feel and he holds the folder out to Xu Long.

"Your new assignment."

Xu Long was still rendered speechless by the man's previous words. He could not believe that his boss has yet again, approve of another matter and will be there in person instead of sending someone.

Taking a deep breath, he decides not to question his boss and looks down at the folder. He takes it from the man and opens it to see what his new assignment is.

"Uh, boss this… I mean, everything here is easy to acquire, but…"

His brows furrow together, and he closes the folder. Holding it behind his back with one hand, his other hand raised to scratch the side of his head.

"Why do you need to invest in a lake?"

He had only spoken the last word to his question when his head put the pieces together.

He recollects the implementation of the list and his mouth opens to a capitalize 'O' shape.

"Y-You're going to… again? A second time? Is it necessary?"

Lu Tian felt please that his assistant was quick to understand. However, the more the man spoke, the heavier his eyes couldn't help but feel.

He sighs inside and stares Xu Long dead in the eyes with his finger pointing at the folder behind.

"If you finish early, you can have the remaining week off. If you get it done by tonight, you can have the remaining week off plus double pay."

"…"

Hearing this, Xu Long's eyes lit up like the sun in the sky. He thought having the remaining week off was already good enough since he wanted to move into his new place. However, to get double pay if he finishes his task by tonight, how can he not be tempted?

Earlier, he was already rewarded with a luxurious penthouse. Now, he is rewarded with time off. Has luck finally come to him?

All those endless nights of crying, could it be that Buddha has finally heard his prayers?

He straightens his posture and gestures a salute with one hand.

"Don't worry, boss. I will not let you down and complete this mission with my life."

Not waiting to be dismissed, he turns around and darts out the room. He snickers evilly and can't wait to find out if there are any more rewards coming his way.

He exits his boss's office and closes the door. However, as he was walking to his own office, he looks down at the folder and heaves a long sigh as he thought back to 'that' night.

The very night his boss first propose to his boss lady.

As one should know that night was very daunting and exhausting.

Wolf Team and he were scattered into position around the couple's house. Each person was assigned with at least twenty sky lanterns. They were instructed with one very important task and that was, once they see the only sky lantern ascend the night sky, they are to light all the other lanterns in their possession.

Everyone thought the proposal was a fail since they waited for such a long time and there was no lantern in the sky.

To their surprise, they were able to spot the sky lantern and that was their cue that their boss lady said yes.

However, because they were shivering from the cold night, they were having difficulty lighting their lanterns.

Luckily, they improvised and succeeded. If they had failed, they would have ruined their boss's romantic proposal.

Xu Long sniffles dryly and rub his eyes that had no tears. Good thing that night went smoothly for their boss and they were given the chance to witness such a magical night full of sky lanterns.

As he enters his office, Lu Tian remained in his office.

The aloof man was now standing in front of the floor to ceiling window. Both his hands placed inside his pockets, and he stares at the clear sky.

He hopes the sky remains this way and not ruin his preparations.
