My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049 Keep My Dignity

Lu Jingyuan was busy when the secretary came in to inform a higher-up from headquarters wanted to meet her.

She remembered her schedule for that day didn't have any meeting with a higher-up from headquarters, so why did a higher-up suddenly show up?

“What does the higher-up want to talk about? Can you have another colleague meet the person? I'm not free today.”

That was exactly how Lu Jingyuan was.

No matter how high the person was in the hierarchy, she only focused on completing her work. Entertaining higher-ups was not part of her scope of work.

A troubled look marred the secretary's face. “But he insists on meeting you. I can't say no, and I've already told him that you're busy, but he— Why don't you tell him face to face?”

Lu Jingyuan sensed the gravity of the situation and headed toward the conference room.

When she opened the door, she saw Nan Xing sitting in the chair.

Immediately, she whirled around and left.

“Hey, wait!” Nan Xing shouted.

“You can seek out Mr. Zhao if you have any issues. He can report them to you directly,” Lu Jingyuan said.

The Mr. Zhao she was referring to was the CEO of the business division and her direct supervisor.

“Mr. Zhao isn't here, and since you're the deputy CEO, I can only look for you.”

Before Nan Xing came, he had transferred Mr. Zhao to one of the branch offices for a research study.

Hence, Lu Jingyuan was the only deputy CEO with the authority to meet with a higher-up then.

However, Lu Jingyuan ignored him and continued to stride toward her office. “I'm busy and have nothing to report to you.”

Anxiousness flooded Nan Xing at her departure before he urgently ran after her. “What is with your attitude, Lu Jingyuan? You're being disrespectful! This is the office, and I'm meeting you for work.”

He followed her all the way to her office and shut the door behind him.

“What exactly do you want?” she snapped.

“I want to talk to you about work!”

“Speak, then. I'm listening.”

“You're the one who needs to report to me, so you should be the one speaking!” Nervousness racked through Nan Xing.

“What should I report?” she asked.

Nan Xing couldn't come up with anything since he wasn't familiar with that part of the business, so he didn't know what to ask.

Moreover, it was all a ruse to get closer to Lu Jingyuan. In truth, he didn't have anything to ask about work.

“Elaborate on the business division's recent development plan,” Nan Xing said.

“Lately, there are three projects with investments up to a billion. One of them had already started, and I'm working on that project. As for the other two, their current progress has reached...”

The information was right on the top of Lu Jingyuan's head. Data came right out of her mouth to the precision of two decimal places.

Her brain was like a hard disk, storing a load of data. She could rattle off the precise number without thinking twice.

Nan Xing was stunned.

He knew she was excellent in her work, but her performance had exceeded his expectation.

“That's about the gist of it. Is there anything else you would like to ask, Mr. Xing?”

Nan Xing muttered, “Nothing else.”

“Please leave if there's nothing else. I have work to tend to,” Lu Jingyuan said coldly.

Nan Xing stayed silent with a stubborn expression. I can't leave now.

“Ms. Lu, I haven't finished yet,” Nan Xing said in a deep voice.

“Didn't you finish asking?”

“But I have a new question.”

“Say it, then. Please finish it within five minutes. I'm really very busy.”

“You kept emphasizing that you're busy. Do you think I have a lot of free time on my hands?” Nan Xing asked angrily.
