MY BROTHER IN-LAW TURN HUSBAND, VOLUME 4 - Season 10 Episode 73

Lu Lijun continued to be in a foul mood after returning from lunch but didn’t let it affect his work. Instead, he focussed on it even more as if he wished to finish the work for the entire year.

“Take it slow, man, or soon no one would have any work left to do,” Noah teased, knowing why Lu Lijun was like that.

“If you are tired, you can leave,” Lu Lijun replied, being busy working.

“Are you trying to distract yourself?” Noah asked.

“Yeah, from the annoyance sitting in front of me,” Lu Lijun countered.

Noah looked on his sides though he meant Lu Lijun was referring to him, “Annoyance? where?”

THUD!!

Lu Lijun threw one file on the table, “Be a good assistant and get this file done.”

Noah picked up the file and was about to open it, but he heard Lu Lijun again, “In your office.”

Noah understood it was time to leave this guy alone and stood up, “Yes, boss!”

Just as Noah reached the office door, he stopped, “You are like this every year at least once, and that once a year time is around the corner.”

Lu Lijun, who was busy working, suddenly paused but didn’t look at Noah. Lu Lijun looked like Noah hit the right point.

Noah silently left while Lu Lijun leaned back in the chair, looking at the shut door of his office.

Lu Lijun moved his sight towards the tiny calendar fit in a metal stand and closed his eyes again, trying not to think about what Noah said.

Ming Industries office…

The architecture model of the entire project was in the process of being finalized with lots of corrections and modifications. It was a huge project, so it was given that it would take time.

More than the project, Ming Rusheng was worried that Lu Lian would leave Ming industries after the project.

He was conflicted over whether he should be glad that she would be away from his sight and he wouldn’t be in a tight spot, or he should feel disappointed.

During the entire month, they hardly talked and came together. There was always a talk related to work and nothing else. It was hard for Ming Rusheng to guess what was in her mind as she never showed any anger towards him though he did something to hurt her.

She behaved like he didn’t exist for her, or even if he did, she only thought of him as someone she works with. Every day her lines kept ringing in his ears – If I had taken such things seriously, I would have to deal with so many annoying men.

“Who are those bastards?” Ming Rusheng greeted his teeth.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Ming Rusheng snapped out of it.

Lu Lian’s assistant entered the office.

Keeping the file on the table, the assistant spoke, “Ms. Lu wishes Mr. Ming to look into it.”

Ming Rusheng nodded, and the assistant left. He opened the file with which there was a blueprint attached with suggested changes.

‘Damn,’ he frowned after looking into the file and mumbled, “Nowadays, she doesn’t make a single mistake.”

“Isn’t it good that Ms. Lu is so good with the work?”

Ming Rusheng looked at the person who just talked. That was his assistant. Ming Rusheng was so busy finding the mistakes that he couldn’t hear when the assistant knocked on the door and didn’t realize when he stood up near his work table.

With the disappointment of not finding any mistake and losing his chance of being able to talk to her personally, Ming Rusheng put the file aside and cleared his throat, “It’s a good thing. It saves me from trouble to look into the minor things.”

The assistant smiled, seeing his boss trying to explain when he never did before.

“Boss has been asked to be present in Mr. Chairman’s office,” the assistant informed for what he was there for.

“Reason?” Ming Rusheng asked as he stood up, ready to go.

“Not sure, but it seems something important,” the assistant replied.

Ming Rusheng went to his father’s office.

“Have a seat,” Ming Yusheng instructed.

Ming Rusheng sat in the chair opposite his father, and Ming Yusheng instructed again as he looked at the file kept on the table.

“Have a look in that file.”

Ming Rusheng did so, “Another project?”

“Hmm, and this one also you have to work on personally,” Ming Yusheng instructed.

Ming Rusheng nodded, “Hmm.”

Just as Ming Rusheng put the file back on the table, his father spoke, “It would be better if Lu Lian worked on this with you together. She would be a great help with her experience in western style.”

“She is already busy handling current projects,” Ming Rusheng countered.

“I know. This project has time to start, so till then, she would be free,” Ming Yusheng replied.

Ming Rusheng didn’t argue as he couldn’t say that Lu Lian might resign after this project, and he was the reason.

——–

Ming Rusheng returned to his office.

“When Ms. Lu is free, ask her to come to my office,” Ming Rusheng instructed his assistant.

The assistant left as he passed the message to Lu Lian. An hour passed by, but Lu Lian didn’t come to Ming Rusheng’s office when he was desperately waiting for her.

“Why Ms. Lu is not here?” Ming Rusheng asked.

“I’ll check,” the assistant left and went to Lu Lian, who was busy working.

“Ms. Lu, the boss is waiting,” the assistant informed.

“Doesn’t Mr. Ming ask me to come to his office when I’m free?”

“Yes,” the assistant nodded.

“You can see I’m not free yet,” Lu Lian said, resuming her work.

The assistant had no choice but to leave and thought, ‘These two are really made for each other, so stubborn.’

The moment the assistant entered the office, Ming Rusheng looked at him questioningly.

The assistant looked a bit hesitant and answered, “Ms. Lu said she is not free yet.”
