Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

"Mr Min, it's not that I am late, rather you all are early. After all, I have many works on my plate as the CEO. I can't come without finishing them can I? After all, there are many people to lecture me even if I make a tiny error." 

Everyone understood that Luo Lixi was talking about this Mr Min. In the past, the old man thought Luo Lixiang would be the new boss of the company. He even openly criticized Luo Lixi in a company gathering when she was absent.

There were still many people who wanted to curry with her now. So they sent her a clip of that to her secretly. 

Executive Min banged his hand on the table and glared at Pan Er Jiu, "Who are you to interfere in our conversation?! Get lost!"

Even though the bald man was angry, he only dared to vent his anger to other people. Currently, the perfect person was Pan Er Jiu who had interrupted his plan to embarrass Luo Lixi.

"Mr Min, for your information she is my new assistant. Beware of your behaviour." Luo Lixi squinted her eyes and then turned to the file in her hand. She had already turned numb from these old farts barking. 

"Even then, she shouldn't have interrupted us. Doesn't she know my identity?" Executive Min scoffed. In his eyes, the people below his post didn't have any value. They should always be humble and know their right place. 

"To become my assistant, nobody needs to know your identity or information. As long as they know mine, it's enough." 

Pan Er Jiu sighed in relief hearing Luo Lixi's word. When the malicious eyes of Mr Min fell on her, she just ignored it without any hesitation.

Luo Lixi was aware of the old man's behaviour but didn't say anything. She lifted her eyes and leaned forwards. "Anybody knows why we have come here today?"

One woman lifted her hand and replied, "For the multibillion govt project! The dream project of our government for the further development of the big cities." 

Luo Lixi smiled when she heard her. The woman blushed embarrassedly when she realised everyone was looking at her. The woman wasn't used to the limelight and coward away. 

Mr Min tsked blatantly, 'Useless.' Luckily he just mocked her in his head or else the woman would have broken down in cold sweats.

Even though everybody knew the reason for coming here, Luo Lixi still asked this question to dispel the awkwardness caused by Mr Min. 

The latter didn't have the mood to interfere and wanted to observe the situation from the sideline for now.

Luo Lixi nodded and then said as she turned eyes away, "Correct. It's a new project about the construction of a bridge connecting two big cities. Even though it's a big pie everyone wants to have a share… but it involves many risks."

Right then, the room turned deemed and many slides of the possible future bridge were shown on the big multimedia projector. Mr Mom's eyes lit up in greed, 'Money.'

The people sitting beside him noticed the glint in his eyes. They became speechless just by his wicked grin.

Luo Lixi talked seriously as she swept her glance around. She also noticed executive Min's expression. Just a mere glance was enough to remind her of the big perverts. 

Luo Tiankong saw this and coughed. Afterwards, when everyone turned their attention to him, he spoke out this time, "This project will consume a lot of manpower and time but the end profit is huge."

Madam Wang smiled, "Lixi, there was no need to think otherwise. If we don't take risks, we won't gain anything."

Right at that moment, Executive Min spoke out with disdain, "We should just fight to get this project. It can boost our company's shares and reputation. You are just a lady, on top of that an inexperienced one. You should just listen to us. If you fail, the most will happen is the bankruptcy of Luo Corporation. "

"..."

"..."

"..."

...A row of blank faces.

Mr Min mocked her right in front of her face without holding back.

From the start, he wanted Luo Lixiang to become the CEO. The latter sometimes made errors in his work and he felt superior at those moments. Nobody expected 9f the change of that person so suddenly.

Pan Er Jiu felt irritated by the other party's nasty words. Luo Lixi's face turned stern as she shouted, "Oh, bankruptcy? Why do I feel that Executive Min is looking forward to this? Huh!"

"I'm just stating the facts." The old man's words were enough to demoralise the employees' big dreams to work on big projects.

The atmosphere descended into gloominess.

"Out!" Luo Lixi's nose flared up as she emphasized the word sternly.

Mr Min glared at her and shouted as he stood up and pointed his forefinger towards her, "What did you…"

"I said out! I don't need a person like you to participate in my company's meeting. Get out! You are enough to destroy the image of my company!" Because of her stern and cold voice, everyone became quiet. Nobody dared to breathe loudly fearing to get under her cold eyes.

Madam Wang turned around and saw the old man shaking in anger and shouting, "If your grandfather didn't want then there was no reason for you to sit in that position. A vile woman like you who removed her brother for her own selfishness, such a shame!"

"Is that so?" Luo Lixi chuckled and turned around to tell Pan Er Jiu, "Call the security. Someone is making trouble here."

Mr Min couldn't standstill. Madam Wang shook her head and turned towards the old man, "Old Min, it's an office, not your home. How can you say something like that?! Those are very hurtful to the ears." Her voice sounded very surprised and astonished.

Executive Min sneered and snorted, "The things I have said, they are true or false, everyone knows. You too, Madam Wang. No need to feel distressed for her."

However, the man couldn't stay aloof and arrogant anymore as five security guards came up. 

"Guards, take Mr Min away. From today onwards, he isn't allowed to enter the company unless I give my permission."

"Don't you dare touch me! I'm a shareholder of this company. You won't be able to bear the consequences of offending me!"

Hearing him, the guards turned towards Luo Lixi. She nodded her head for them to continue.
