    Lu Zhaoyang frowned at Huo.


    Of all things, you are just thinking about food at this crucial moment? Gosh...


    “Could you please sit properly?”


    His body almost copsed on her. The request was apparently disregarded as Huo Yunting remained at his position, “Do you know what matters to a man the most when ying golf?” His brows raised.


    “...”


    Lu kept quiet because she knew what her man was going to say. She had seen the same stupid joke on social media before. She kept looked to the front, her head lifted still, yet his mouth reacher her ears, whispering in hot breath, “A. Hole. In. One.”


    Lu Zhaoyang pushed him away.


    Geez! I’m so going to rm the police if hemits more of his sexual harassments!


    Huo Yunting noticed the scarlet on her cheeks, as he fell back onto his chair, looking undisturbed.


    “Regarding this project, we will be...” That was when Lu realized the project being presented by anotherpany sounded really familiar to her. She turned to look at Huo Yunting who was now smiling at her yfully.


    “W-what do we do now?”


    It was certainly an awkward situation. The content of the presented proposal was highly simr to theirs, but with a way lower budget. If both Lu and Huo did nothing to their proposal, they would be humiliated, they surely would be.


    What made it worse was the fact that they were representing Thunderbolt Corp. Disregarding the truth on who was the copycat in this case, Thunderbolt Corp. would lose its reputation.


    Even if Thunderbolt Corp. managed to justify its proposal as the original, their reputation would remain tainted.


    But, gosh! That was one hell of leaked info. It was hard to pinpoint the traitor at the moment because the proposal involved a vast number of members in theirpany.


    Huo Yunting leisurely pulled out his phone and dialed right on the spot. He spoke to his man with a volume hidden within the voice of the host on the microphone. Lu could discern the order however.


    “Check out this Emperor Corp. for me, right now!”


    “I have not heard of thispany before...” Muttered Lu as she started hypothesizing.


    So far there are only a few characters who showed up at Thunderbolt Corp.


    And ... one who would leak the entire n... Huang Dong?


    It took Lu only a few seconds to aim her arrow at Huang Dong.


    If The Emperor Corp. caught this opportunity, Thunderbolt Corp. would face a severe slump in the following quarters.


    Wise people think alike. Huo Yunting was on the same end of the mental schemata as hers, although he was displeased.


    Oh, your little bugs didn’t work so you decided to openly challenge me? Are you not afraid of me at all? Huang Dong?


    “Thank you.” The proposal sessfully acquired approving apuses from the board as the representative went back to his seat.


    “Last but not least, Thunderbolt Corp,” announced the host.


    The crowd was all looking at President Huo who gave a chilly smile, seemingly unperturbed of their awkwardly simr proposal, unlike his secretary who nearly wanted to run out of the hall immediately.


    But it was that indifference of Huo Yunting that convinced her to stay. She was, after all, a nobody and therefore should not be the one in panic, especially when it would be more practical to wait for Huo Li’s update.


    It was as if The Emperor’s proposal never existed when the president of Thunderbolt Corp. just briefed the simr proposal calmly.


    The crowd was not calm, nevertheless. The noises grew, to an extent where even the host’s loud plea for cooperation could not be heard.


    “Isn’t that the same proposal from Emperor?”


    “I can’t believe Thunderbolt has fallen.”


    “Did this shameless president copy the proposal?”


    “It’s more expensive too, it’s only braindead if they picked this ove-”


    “What’s with the noises? Are all of you done yet?” Said Huo profoundly. It was not a howl from him yet it killed the noises instantly.


    He gestured the host to continue reading the proposal as he pursed his lips.


    The reading was done. It was time for discussion among the panel judges to reach a conclusion.


    Lu was feeling restless as her seat, the mumbles and doubtful gazes from the table were not helping.


    That was when a mobile phone was shoved to her, it was Huo, urging, “Print all the documents inside, right now.”


    Without hesitation she stormed out of the room.


    It must be information about The Emperor’s deeds!


    It has to be!


    ——


    Meanwhile, in a gorgeously furnished room, the whispering winding from the air conditioner filled the ambience. It was dead silent. It was dead cold too, yet among the seven men in there, a majority of them were sweating ufortably.


    The atmosphere was tense. They exchanged gazes from one to another, their lips grooved in an uneasy manner, till one of them initiated, “The Emperor and Thunderbolt both proposed a rather simr idea, yet The Emperor has a much lower budget required. So I believe The Emperor has an upper hand in this.”


    “I disagree. The Emperor might seem to have a lower budgetpared to Thunderbolt, but I would not want to gamble on a bargain, especially when the actual expenditure would go much higher than what they have promised.”
