Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 345


    Chapter 345 Hopeful About the New Rtionship


    Their surroundings burst into a low buzz of murmuring as soon as Xie Xiu had finished his words. “Who


    is this man?”


    “Who cares? He is a work of art…” “By the sound of it, it looks like he is here to protect Ann. Did Ann


    double-cross Lu Jinye and hooked up with another man?”


    “So envious… I want someone who would defend me overbearingly like this hottie too…”


    “Quit dreaming.”


    “It seems like the show has just started…”


    Xie Xiu had his eyes locked on Mu Zhi while she was resenting the fact that he had caught her working


    behind his back. The both of them could not be bothered by the mumbling of the insignificant


    characters around them.


    However, Xie Xiu could hear some of the words. He wheeled around and swept his gaze across the


    colleagues, then shook his head disappointingly.


    “You could’ve done a better job at choosing your workce. The quality of thispany and its staff


    might’ve been a little underwhelming.”


    Everyone exchanged nces at his remark and was red in the face.


    Under Xie Xiu’s overwhelming temperament, nobody dared utter a sound.


    Finishing what he had to say, Xie Xiu took out his phone and gave his ounting Team a call, telling


    them the name of thepany before demanding, “Value thispany at once and tell the ounting


    Team to make their way here.”


    After he was done with the call, Mu Zhi asked nervously, “What are you doing?”


    “Acquiring thepany.”


    Xie Xiu put on an affectionate smile before casting a sideways nce at everyone.


    He had heard everything they said at the door earlier. Thus, he had taken the most sinct approach


    to take care of the business, like he was ustomed to!


    Mu Zhi was astonished. She woke up from her daze and promptly stopped Xie Xiu, “Don’t. I just want


    to make an honest living here. How am I supposed to stay here if you do that?”


    “This will be yourpany soon, you can do whatever you wish with it.”


    “I’m not…”


    Xie Xiu cut her off and said, “Sorry, Ann, I can’t bear to watch you suffer like this. Thispany doesn’t


    deserve you, and these guys aren’t even good enough to polish your shoes. Besides, they nder your


    name because of some baseless rumors…”


    Xie Xiu added, “If you insist on working, you could work at your ownpany. I will send a team to


    scale thispany’s operation up and restructure its staff, then make you the director. It doesn’t matter


    if you make a loss. I just want you to be happy.”


    Mu Zhi started to refuse when three people showed up at the door. They were Xie Xiu’s ounting


    Team and had brought dozens of documents with them.


    Coming before Xie Xiu, the team lead reported, “Mr. Xie, this is the valuation of thispany.” Amid his


    words, he handed a document into Xie Xiu’s hands.


    “A preliminary evaluation tells us that thepany’s profit-making ability is below average. The


    management team is disarrayed, and the ounts are disordered. It isn’t worth acquiring.” A member


    of the ounting Team borated.


    Xie Xiu did not spare a nce at the report before tossing it back to them, “See to it. It doesn’t matter if


    it makes money. I want Ann to be happy, and I don’t want to see her being a target of bullies again.”


    Mu Zhi leaned into Xie Xiu and whispered, “Don’t.”


    In this instance, she was left speechless, without an idea of how she should ease Xie Xiu’s strong


    personality! But Xie Xiu would not relent.


    He lowered his voice and snapped at the ounting Team, “Haven’t I made myself clear? Go!”


    Every poor soul in the room stood rooted to the ground. None of them even dared to breathe aloud as


    they exchanged nces anxiously, waiting for Xie Xiu’s next instruction.


    The ounting Team was about to act when Mu Zhi stopped them. “Go back to work, leave this for


    now.”


    With that, the ounting Team froze, not knowing what to do.


    Mu Zhi looked at Xie Xiu helplessly, mustered her courage, and grabbed her belongings before dashing


    out of thepany.


    Xie Xiu hastily followed suit.


    When he caught up to her, Xie Xiu brought her into his car and exined, “I’m doing all these for your


    own good.”


    “I know that. You love me and couldn’t bear to see me hurt. But love should be a mutual rtionship. I


    love you too. I went to look for a job behind your back because I’d like to experience how it feels like to


    go to work and understand you a little better as a result.”


    “I appreciate you doing these for me. If you want to have work experience, you should’vee straight


    to mypany. There’s no need to experience work at a uselesspany. Besides, it is littered with


    hopeless colleagues…”


    Mu Zhi held up a hand saying, “Fine, enough. You’ve treated me very well, and you’re overdoing it. I


    will never work at yourpany. I promise not to go to work anymore, happy?”


    Xie Xiu let out an affectionate smile like he usually did, “Even better that you’ve given up on the idea of


    working.”


    He checked the time and then said, “I can’t stay here any longer. I must return to the States, I have a


    meeting over there.”


    “You flew all the way here just to stop me from working?” Mu Zhi frowned curiously.


    Xie Xiu nced at Mu Zhi and borated his intentions, “Of course not, I’m just worried that something


    would happen to you, I just want to protect you.”


    “Then hurry up and go for your meeting.”


    The Mu Zhi now had no idea what she could do anymore. Her rhythm had beenpletely disrupted


    by Xie Xiu.


    After watching him leave, Mu Zhi could only take a cab home dejectedly.


    On the other hand, after he had left, Xie Xiu’s secretary asked in the car, “Instead ofing here just to


    protect madam and leave, why didn’t you try talking her out of the job?”


    Xie Xiu turned to face the secretary with a grin, “Because… I don’t like forcing someone to do what


    they don’t want to do.”


    Then, he stopped exining further.


    Or rather, he couldn’t exin it himself too.


    He was not someone who would frequently express his affectionate feelings. But he had done many


    things even he could notprehend for Mu Zhi by now, including the acquisition of thepany.


    He knew better that there was no need to fly into the country, but he did recklessly. Moreover, he also


    used the most reckless method to protect Mu Zhi.


    In his head, he had struggled to work out why he’d done all these too.


    Xie Xiu rubbed his temples to alleviate his headache, then heaved a sorrowful sigh. By the looks of it,


    instead of protecting Mu Zhi, he should just observe her.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    For some reason, that made him more hopeful of their rtionship.


    Meanwhile, after bidding Xie Xiu farewell, Mu Zhi headed straight home.


    The sudden loss of job caught Mu Zhi off guard. She knew that her hopes to get a job had been


    crushed by Xie Xiu.


    Even though Xie Xiu might have relented from forcefully acquiring thepany since her departure…


    She became perturbed at the thought of these troublesome interferences.


    Xie Xiu was busy with meeting after meetings those few days. It must be for something significant.


    Their calls had reduced to simple greetings for each other before Xie Xiu plunged back into work. They


    didn’t have the time to discuss her previous job.


    Mu Zhi had settled for a few days, but while she was jobless, her urge to work had gradually reignited.
