Chapter 379 - THE PURPOSE (2/2)

After ringing three times, the Acting Vice President answered the call, ”What's up?”

”Uncle Tong, good evening. I know it's late but I need to ask you something regarding my project. Can we talk?” Han Luo requested.

He was about to go to sleep but he didn't mention it. ”Go on.”

”Today I met a guy who is the owner of the shop we want to buy…” Han Luo described her meeting with Larry. ”For him to act so generously, I find it suspicious.”

The Acting Vice President Tong frowned after she was done speaking. ”You are quick to catch. If there is bad blood between the two of you, then there is something definitely wrong with it. Investigate that shop. It would be better to talk to President Smith rather than that brat.”

Han Luo agreed with his plan. ”My thoughts were exactly the same. I shall hire an investigator.”

He reminded her, ”Listen, Luo'er, you must remember, this assignment will show how capable you are. Although you are inexperienced, you cannot make a simple mistake. Failure is not an option. Once you fail, the Board of Directors and shareholders will lose their faith in you. Even if you do better in the future, they will keep bringing up your mistakes and try to use it against you. You must become the head of the family. You must take the President position no matter what.” His voice was firm and resolute.

He added, ”The way the company is going, it will be destroyed. Even though this company is old, it went to the top because of your father's hard work and intelligence. Your uncle simply cannot handle it. You cannot depend on your youngest uncle who never cared for you. You are on your own. Life is hard. You have resources. You need to find your own way to use them. Don't hesitate or become emotional.”

”What else?”

Han Luo hesitated before saying, ”It's about… big brother Yuan.”

The Acting Vice President Tong rubbed his temple and asked, ”The Mo Family's boy? What about him?”

Han Luo finally declared, ”We are currently dating.”

The Acting Vice president's brain stopped working for a while. He wasn't expecting this outcome. ”…Are you two planning to marry in the future?”

”…Uh…” Han Luo was unable to answer. They recently started going out. They hadn't thought about the marriage.

Acting Vice President Tong also realized that they didn't plan anything. He said, ”We can think about it in the future. For now, focus on the project. When the time comes, you can marry whoever you want but you may not get your position in the company in the future if you don't focus on your work.”

”…Okay…” she sighed in relief that her uncle didn't say anything else. She was worried that he would oppose it. Since he didn't, it might be a good sign.

Soon, Mo Yuan's class ended. She waited for him in front of the parking lot. Mo Yuan came out of the building, saw her, and strode toward her.

Mo Yuan hugged her in front of everyone.

Han Luo naturally hugged him back.

The students who saw theM were surprised. They only heard that Mo Yuan and Han Luo were going out but they thought it was nothing but a false rumor. Now that they saw a public display of affection, they knew for sure that it wasn't just a rumor. They were indeed going out.

Mo Yuan kissed the top of her head and then asked, ”Are you okay?”

Han Luo was puzzled by his question. It came out of nowhere. ”I'm okay…”

”I saw you walking with Larry Smith. What did he do to you?” Mo Yuan was worried sick when he saw them together. He was in the class and he always sat close to the window. When those two were walking, he spotted them.

”We talked about my project. Nothing else happened. I was careful.” Han Luo never had the intention to hide from him. However, she couldn't say more than that since it's about the company.

”Was he bullying you? Or did he threaten you?” Mo Yuan wouldn't believe that Larry would approach her with a good intention.

”No, he didn't. We were talking about my project since it was related to him. Don't ask me anymore. I cannot tell you confidential information.” Han Luo poked his stomach.

Mo Yuan started. ”If he tries anything…”

Ring! Ring!

He wasn't able to finish his words, Han Luo's cell phone rang.

Who called?
