Chapter 732 Standing your ground (1/2)

Yue Ling stares dumbfoundedly at her assistant. Seeing him act this way, she couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry.

He had been so serious about being scared that she thought Manager He had done something frightening. However, it turned out to be his own imagination running wild.

She sighs a deep breath to calm herself from his unusual way of thinking. Reaching a hand for her work bag, she takes out the black folder containing the supply contract between De L'amour and Cloth Co.

Scooting the chair back, she stood up and walks over to sit on the couch across from him. She ignores his unprofessional appearance and set the folder on the table between them.

”Starting tomorrow, we will be working with Cloth Co.”

Liu Shan turns his head to look at her then down at the folder. His childish behavior takes a 306 turn and he abruptly returns to the assistant that he is.

However, he doesn't sit up but looks back up at the ceiling.

”So that means we'll be buying from them for ten years?”

Understanding his words, Yue Ling shakes her head and opens the folder. Placing the tips on her fingers on top, she turns it to face him and leans back on the couch.

”I convinced Lu Tian to agree to five years. If things progress well for both companies, I will propose another contract later.”

Liu Shan wanted to ask why she didn't just keep the ten-year contract since she and Lu Tian were getting married but stop himself.

Out of all her subordinates, he is the closest to her and knows better than anyone why she declined the offer. Especially knowing that the other party is a company that belongs to someone she knows.

Not because she doesn't trust or want to work with the other company, but because she doesn't want to mix her personal life and work together.

The other party this time is Cloth Co., and it belongs to the Lu family. Once the collaboration begins, combined with Yue Ling and Lu Tian's engagement, others will start to speculate that his boss is able to succeed because of the Lu family's help.

Of course, this means little to Yue Ling, but as the person she is, she doesn't want others to speak ill of the other party without knowing anything.

Liu Shan sighs aloud and sits up. He grabs the folder and flips through the contract.

Five years. They will be working with Cloth Co. for five years, but will his boss be okay?

In the past, when she was still a model, some people criticized her for being a model for Beauty. Rumors spread that she got to where she is today because of how popular Beauty is in the industry.

However, only a few know that she got to where she is because of her own hard work.

She was able to become a renowned model because of how naturally good she is. Whereas Fate and H-International were indeed passed down to her, but it was also because of the outstanding capability that made each one formidable to this day.

The same goes for De L'amour and An Qing. Both fashion companies started off as small boutiques before reaching their highest peak.

And all these things were done solely by Yue Ling and her hard work.

As the memories of the past flooded his mind, Liu Shan looks at his boss. An unexplainable wave of emotion flash in his heart that sent a sharp stab to him.

A bittersweet smile curls on his lip and he sighs inside for her.

She is only one person but has to carry so much weight on her shoulders.

Averting his gaze from her, he lowers his head and looks down at the folder in his hands. Thinking to himself, he closes it and sets it down on the table.
