By the time Ailin brought in the freshly brewed coffee, Leng Zimo had already reached the end of the video.
The video was just playing Xu Xia’s part when, after listening for half a minute and hearing her cracked high notes, he once again fast-forwarded.
"Because I want to make money, I want to become famous, I need an opportunity!"
Luo Xiaoqian’s voice abruptly filled the room.
Leng Zimo raised his eyebrows and looked at the image projected on the wall.
The girl was dressed in the simplest shirt and jeans, her hair casually tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. Without a trace of makeup, she was still beautiful.
Then, she sang.
"Hypocrisy,
Your passionate promises scatter with the west wind, disappearing into the distance.
...
Out of the blue,
Your ruthless letting go,
At the time I needed you the most..."
Leng Zimo moved his finger off the mouse, holding the cup in his hands, yet he didn’t drink.
It wasn’t until the song was over that he brought the cup of black coffee to his lips, sipped it lightly, and then set the cup down.
The coffee had lost its heat, and he never drank lukewarm coffee.
"Any news from Qin Lan?!"
"Mr. Qin said he wants to enjoy the sun in Hawaii with Miss An, and he might not make it back within a week!" Ailin pursed her lips, having followed her boss for two years. Although he always kept a cold face and his emotions were unreadable, she could tell he was not pleased at the moment. She tactfully came over, picked up the cup, and asked cautiously, "Shall I get you a fresh one?"
