    Chapter 907 Keep Her Pride


    When thepany''s employees heard that the new deputy CEO was a gorgeous woman, they


    assumed Nan Xing had brought in some random eye candy.


    However, they soon realized their mistake after the meeting ended.


    Not only was the deputy CEO beautiful, but she was also extremely professional and skilled.


    Although Lu Jingyuan had not worked in ages, she had not lost her touch.


    She wasn''t someone who would ck off. She continued to pay attention to the market trends in the


    industry and never stopped learning.


    Prior to opening her inn in Livingsfill, she had taken quite a number of online courses. She was already


    a famous designer, to begin with, so her skills had greatly improved.


    After giving a short speech, Lu Jingyuan managed to conquer the attendees with her international


    vision and advanced ideas for thepany.


    Nan Xing, who was also present at the meeting, was surprised by Lu Jingyuan''s performance. No


    wonder she looks arrogant. It turns out she''s actually quite skillful.


    His initial idea was to dump Lu Jingyuan after sessfully courting her. While it was one thing if he


    was able to seed, it was apletely different matter if he could bring himself to do so.


    Aftering out of the meeting room and returning to the office, Lu Jingyuan''s newly appointed


    assistant came over. She was a pretty girl who showed dimples when she smiled.


    “I don''t need an assistant,” Lu Jingyuan said curtly.


    The assistant almost cried. Is Ms. Lu so dissatisfied with me that she refuses to let me work with her?


    Nan Xing was surprised. “What''s the matter? Tian is a capable person. She even graduated from a


    reputable school. I''m sure she will be a capable assistant to you.”


    “I''m notining about her abilities, it''s just that I don''t need an assistant,” Lu Jingyuan replied


    calmly.


    “But you need an assistant to arrange your schedule and take care of the more mundane tasks.


    Otherwise, you''ll have too much on your te,” Nan Xing advised.


    The assistant, Tian, kept silent. She was afraid that Lu Jingyuan had rejected her because she did not


    meet the former''s standards.


    “I''m only in charge of matters rted to design and nothing else. There''s no need for me to attend


    many meetings unless there''s something that absolutely needs my input. I also won''t be attending


    business-rted social events, nor will I participate in any kind ofpany publicity or promotional


    activities. Hence, my schedule shouldn''t be too bad, so I really don''t need an assistant,” Lu Jingyuan


    said.


    “Huh?” Nan Xing was dumbfounded. “You''re the deputy CEO. Of course you have to attend the


    meetings with the higher-ups...”


    “I refuse. I already said that I won''t attend any meetings unless there''s something I absolutely need to


    take care of there. I did not attend most of the meetings when I was working overseas. I took care of


    the tasks I was in charge of and would not attend any meetings that are meaningless. This is how I''ve


    always operated. If Mr. Xing is displeased with this, I can resign right now.”


    What a ruthless person! She is even threatening to resign on the first day?


    Exasperated, Nan Xing could only agree to her conditions. “So be it. However, since she has already


    been assigned to be your assistant, let her stay with you for a month. She''s mainly here to learn from


    you. If you still have no need for her and decide not to keep her after a month, you can send her


    somewhere else. Rumors will spread in thepany if you get the HR department to immediately


    reassign her. It won''t look good for her, and it will likely cause her stress.”


    Nan Xing was a considerate man. After all, he had been involved with managing thepany for a


    long time.


    Normally, he was an easygoing man. However, he maintained a high standard when it came to matters


    rted to managing thepany.


    Tian gazed at Nan Xing gratefully. Mr. Xing is so handsome and kind!


    “All right. We''ll give it a try.” In the end, Lu Jingyuan agreed to it.


    Nan Xing and Tian sighed in relief.


    Following that, Nan Xing waved his hand and dismissed Tian.


    Tian bowed to Lu Jingyuan courteously. “Ms. Lu, I won''t let you down! I''ll be an assistant who''s capable


    of solving your problems for you!”


    She then left the room.


    “Okay. Ms. Lu, I''ll handle your schedule for the day. Leave it to me. We''re going to Commoner


    Residence next. I promised Grandma that I''d bring you to visit.” Nan Xing grinned.


    “I''m not going,” Lu Jingyuan replied curtly.


    “Huh? Why?”


    “Why do I have to go?” Lu Jingyuan retorted.


    “Because... Because Grandma wishes to meet you...” Nan Xing did not know how to proceed.


    “There are billions of people in the world. I''d be overwhelmed if I have to meet everyone who insists on


    a meeting. Today''s my first day working here. I can''t just leave after briefly showing up as it will leave a


    bad impression. I need to look over some documents and gain a better understanding of thepany.”


    After saying that, Lu Jingyuan sat down at her desk and began to work.


    Nan Xing felt a headache forming. She''s such a difficult woman!


    “My grandmother insists on meeting you. There must be a reason for it. You can''t just refuse to meet


    her.”


    “Why can''t I reject her request? I know the reason she wants to meet me. It''s none other than to


    question me about our rtionship and ask me when did I give birth to my children. Most importantly,


    she wants to know why my children don''t have a father and who was he. Am I right?”


    Nan Xing could only nod in response. She''s not wrong...


    It was highly likely that his grandmother would ask such questions. They were unavoidable.


    “Why do I have to answer such questions?” Lu Jingyuan asked.


    Nan Xing fell silent. She''s right. Why does she have to be forced to answer them?


    “Err... We''re...”


    “What of it? At most, we''re friends and nothing more. You brought me here from the capital as my


    boyfriend because we were putting on an act for my brother. Since we''ve achieved that, there''s no


    longer anything between us. Once I get used to life here, I will send my kids to school myself. I won''t be


    troubling you then.”


    Lu Jingyuan said those words in a rather cold tone. While she was merely stating the facts, Nan Xing


    felt his heart grow cold upon hearing them.


    “Your words hurt me,” Nan Xing muttered.


    Lu Jingyuan did not bother lifting her head. “Is that so? Is a man''s heart that fragile and so easily hurt?”


    Nan Xing felt that what she just said was far more hurtful than the previous ones.


    Truth be told, Lu Jingyuan knew what was on Nan Xing''s mind. She felt that she was being too


    easygoing with Nan Xing when thetter had kissed her earlier today.


    Did Nan Xing kiss me because he thinks I''m a shameless woman he can make a move on any time he


    wished?


    Lu Jingyuan decided to change the way she interacted with Nan Xing after that thought urred to her.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She could not allow Nan Xing to treat her as he wished. After all, she was a member of the Lu family.


    She had to keep her pride!


    Meanwhile, Nan Xing was baffled. Why did Lu Jingyuan''s attitude suddenly change? She''s be so


    cold. It feels as if she''s keeping me at a distance. Did I make a mistake? Was it because I kissed her


    this morning?


    “Ms. Lu, I have already promised my grandmother. I don''t know what to tell her if you refuse to go with


    me,” Nan Xing beseeched.


    “That''s your problem. I''m not obligated to help you solve it,” Lu Jingyuan replied coldly.
