Chapter 608 - Persona (1/2)

”You dare to bring your work here?” A cold voice with no ripples of emotion made the flipping of pages stop.

”You called me here so suddenly while I am on my busiest time. Since I am your dearest friend, I cannot reject your invitation, but I also cannot abandon my work. Why do you want to see me personally? Do you miss me?” Guan Guan Gao Huan teasingly asked.

His always neatly combed light brown hair that reached to his shoulders was slightly disheveled. It was tied up in a messy bun. His coat was hung on the armrest of the couch. Guan Gao Huan even took his tie off and opened three buttons of his white shirt.

Lu Jin was surprised to see Guan Gao Huan's change in his whole persona.

His friend's usual neat and pretentious gentlemanly and prince-like appearance was gone.

In front of him resembled a hardworking workaholic who drowned himself with work for the sake of higher income and higher position. This was really not Gao Huan.

”Why do you look like this?”

On Lu Jin's cold and handsome face, there was a subtle frown.

”I told you already. In two weeks, I will be announcing Univ One's launch. All preparations are complete. I am now carefully checking the advertising and marketing plans of the final product.”

If Linfeng and Jang Shin were here, they would sigh and say that this scene was very familiar! They had been here as well when one could not even have the time to sleep.

Lu Jin stared at his friend whom he almost could not recognize. He felt somewhat distressed after seeing Guan Gao Huan work so hard like this.

This was his friend's first time working earnestly without dirtying his hands.

Despite the two bags under his eyes, Guan Gao Huan still looked energetic and enthusiastic.

Lu Jin lowered his eyes. The thick long lashes hid the feelings of pity and sympathy for his friend. He knew that Guan Gao Huan's hard work would crumble like dust in the future once that man learned his friend's bold disobedience to his words.

It would be one thing if Guan Gao Huan won in his competition with Linfeng. However, Lu Jin could not confidently say that Guan Gao Huan could truly win. Linfeng's ZD World was already unshakeable.

Lu Jin had already said these things to Guan Gao Huan the first time he learned that his friend foolishly competed with Linfeng. But Guan Gao Huan believed that he could still stand a chance.

Lu Jin did not even know what Guan Gao Huan was fighting for.

Was he really competing against Linfeng?

Or was it against the name that bound Guan Gao Huan?

Or was it for the competency of Gunan?

Lu Jin hid these complicated feelings in his heart.

”Didn't I say to better wait after IAmFashionista? If father learns that you disobeyed him at this crucial time, he will not be merciful. You might really lose a finger.”

Guan Gao Huan smiled. ”I can lose a finger. But I am telling you, father will not be disappointed once he learns how great Univ One is. It can rival ZD World! Univ One will be another gold stash for our father then,” he excitedly declared.

His golden eyes shimmered like they were sprayed with golden fairy dust.

”Besides, four months are too long. I have heard that Shinichi came to the country and stayed in SC to personally supervise the new cooperation project with ZD World. I can't just stand by and waste time. I need to launch the project now. This is the right time.”

Seeing that Guan Gao Huan had really set his heart on this and was being stubborn about it, Lu Jin knew that he could not change his friend's mind.

He pushed down the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

If father knew this and saw this side of his friend, then father would....

Lu Jin did not dare to think about it.

He somberly sat across Guan Gao Huan and interrupted his work.

”The last signature failed. We need you to move.”

Guan Gao Huan's hand froze.

Silence.

His demeanor slowly morphed.

The hardworking young man was gone. In its place was a snakelike man with a chilling aura. His golden eyes that were bright and burning earlier were now cold with killing intent.

”So the time has finally come, eh?”

Lu Jin looked away. ”...Yes.”

Guan Gao Huan was not in the mood to work anymore. He spread out his arms on the arm rest and looked at Lu Jin.

”Are you fine with that?”

Lu Jin looked up.

His dark eyes were unreadable.

”I should be asking you that. Are you fine with that?”
