Chapter 550: Getting Fooled by Him (1/2)

Lu Zhaoyang could already hear the beautiful song played on the piano from afar. The maid brought her straight to the back of the manor where Qiu Jin was swimming in the open-air swimming pool.

This time, she came not to convince Qiu Jin to pass the project to Thunderbolt but to learn more about Qiu Jin’s preferences so that she could come up with a better proposal later.

“Zhaoyang!” Qiu Jin came out of the water, revealing her skinny black bikini together with her proud figure. She took off her swimming cap and swung her hair in seductively.

Taking the bath towel handed over by the maid, Qiu Jin wiped the water off her body. “It has been a long time. I didn’t expect you to work for Thunderbolt again.” Qiu Jin ambled towards Lu Zhaoyang. She threw away the towel, took a glass of light pink cocktail and drank it.

“Oh, I’d like to drink, but I have to drive. Thank you.” Lu Zhaoyang politely declined the wine handed in front of her. “It is just a temporary job.”

“Don’t be so modest. Since when is it so easy to become the chief secretary of Thunderbolt?” Qiu Jin put down the glass and lay comfortably face down on a chaise lounge, enjoying the massage of a professional masseur under the shade of the large patio umbrella. Her life was the envy of many people.

“Just for one month. After that, I will return to Washington.” When offered a glass of juice, Lu Zhaoyang happily accepted it.

“Why go back there? After spending a long time abroad, you will know that the city was a land of feng shui. Oh, our Autumn Water land will be developed.” Qiu Jin suddenly looked at Lu Zhaoyang. “Is this not why you are here?”

“It seems that nothing can escape your eye.”

“But Zhaoyang, I am very sorry…” Qiu Jin pursed her lips, “Our evaluation shows that most people prefer Xiang Yuan. So—”

“Do we really not have a chance?” Never did Lu Zhaoyang expect that they would have made the decision so early.

“Zhaoyang, the business world is a dog-eat-dog world. I hope you could understand.” Qiu Jin was euphemistic but her meaning was loud and clear.
