The Unexpected Marriage novel Chapter 31

"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off. Please redial it later." 'Well, you really get some guts now. Jean is looking for his assistant's phone number, but a message was sent to her phone before she could make any further inquiries.

"Dear Jean Bai, The airline ticket you booked on XX/XX/XXXX from S City to Sri Lanka has been cancelled. Thank you for your support."

She couldn't control her temper anymore and her phone was flying in a parabolic path. The screen of her phone was like the spider web. She was so angry that she couldn't say anything. The room was empty, and no one listened to her. She trembled with anger and scolded him harshly.

"Scott, aren't you supposed to accompany Jean? Why are you here today?" The assistant thought Scott would be in a good mood since he was newly married, so he would give them some gifts.

However, he looked as cold as an ice cube that he had just taken out of the fridge. "If I were you, I would get out of here right now and close the door. No more nonsense!" he said to his assistant.

The assistant got a fright and hurried out with the documents. He was still worried and told others that Scott seemed to have something wrong today.

"Mr. Lu," said Selina cheerfully as she walked into Darren's office It was just a few words, but he could feel her happiness.

"What is it? You look so happy. " Darren asked calmly, without raising his eyes to look at her. He had already known the expression on her face, while he was reading a book in his hand.

A piece of paper elegantly dropped on the desk. Selina had never been so naughty before, but she was sure that when Darren saw the information on the paper, he would definitely be pleased.

The company's status would be enhanced. Besides, Joan had made great efforts to accomplish something.

She saw that he looked at the paper for a long time without saying anything. She could tell that Mr. Lu would not let her work overtime today.

This was the happiest thing for Selina. Only when she had done well could she get off work on time and get rid of his control.

When she turned around and walked out, she walked to Joan's desk and whispered, "Miss Gu, you'll be promoted soon."

"Me?" Joan pointed at herself. Why?

Before Selina could explain everything to her, Darren strode out from the end of the corridor, with a hand in his arm.

In the middle of the courteous greetings, he acted like an emperor turning over the list and chose Joan, "Please stay after work."

Selina winked at her.

Scott didn't come home for two consecutive days and nights. It was not because he was still angry with Jean, but because recently, Jian Company's status had been suppressed by Darren. 'What does Mr. Lu mean?' He has been out of the government business for so many years and has never been involved in the field competition for land. It's not that easy for him to make a foothold in this field with the help of his subordinates. But at the beginning of this month, the most important project at the end of the year was taken away by the Lu Company.

His old friend said, "Buddy, if it was someone else, I may help you make it. But it's Lu Company. For the sake of Jian Company's future, I think it's better not to make enemies with them. You'd better give it up."

Even though he was unwilling to give up, he had to temporarily give up. Moreover, there was a voice in his heart to comfort himself. Darren was not omnipotent. He didn't have an experienced designer in this field, and he hadn't got the latest information on this field for many years. Even if he took it, it would ruin his brand.

So, all the time, he had been holding the posture of watching the bustle from the other side of the river, and looking at this piece of meat, waiting for him to take over and ridicule him.

However.

Selina received the fax today. The whole Lu Company, led by Darren Lu, was in high spirits. The government's market had been silent for many years because of no deft and smart design. They thought the S City had run out of talents, so they should ask people from abroad or other places to help. However, they did not realize that there was such a hidden talent among the group of the mass.

They faxed the Lu Company that they would hand over all the important projects of the next year to them, only to one designer, Joan.

In other words, if Joan had left, she would have been able to take those orders with her. They wanted her to design, not the Lu Company.

Of course, Darren knew that, and he was so happy for their praise for Joan.

The highest building in S City was standing by the river. The revolving restaurant on the top floor was able to catch the beautiful scenery. It was not so expensive, so many people were attracted.

If it weren't for Joan, he wouldn't have come here. But he promised to Joan to go wherever she wanted.

Joan was still threatening him when she saw a roadside stand. She drooled over the car window and suggested, "Mr. Lu, let's go to that stall. It's about the same age as mine. The food there is really delicious."

With a firm tone, she didn't seem to be joking. His eyes lit up. After a long pause, he snapped, "Joan, you're dead!"

"Humph!" She pursed her lips, wondering why he couldn't eat on the street when he wore those expensive clothes. She would find an opportunity to correct him. Working class was the greatest. How could he be so stupid? Without these people, how could the hundreds and thousands of food grow? People had to plant them.
