Yan Xiu was holding a thick report in his hand. His mouth was like a machine gun as he reported the company’s important matters non-stop. Ji Han’s eyes were fixed on the game characters on the television, but he was able to respond to Yan Xiu’s words. “It’s not enough. We have to lower the price further.”
Yan Xiu frowned. “But…”
“There’s no ‘but’. The lower the price, the better the rebound.”
Ji Han did not even shift his gaze. He talked about the livelihood of the shareholders in the same tone one would use to talk about dinner plans.
Yan Xiu sighed and closed the document. “But I’m afraid they won’t know whether to buy or sell.”
The president’s every decision was hard to see through. He really pitied those shareholders who were victims of Ji Han’s methods.
“Am I in the charity business? Do I have to care about their lives?”
Ji Han laughed coldly. He did not pity those shareholders at all.
Yan Xiu did not dare to say anything more. He replied and opened the document before reporting, “Oh right, about Li Zhong’s job-hopping to Shenghua…”
Li Zhong was Ji Han’s previous secretary.
“Hah! I let him enjoy all the superior resources and gave him the opportunity to climb to his current position. Did I let him use all of this to create value for others in other people’s businesses? You’ve followed me for so long. It’s impossible that you don’t know my attitude toward this kind of trash.”
“Yes.”
It seemed that Li Zhong was about to be ostracized by the industry.
Hearing the sound of movement near the stairs of the villa, Ji Han subconsciously turned his head and saw Jiang Boyan, who was wearing a light pink knee-length skirt, being slowly led down the stairs by Madam Lin.
The dress was casual and loose with a belt on top. The color of the dress complemented her jade-like white and tender arms, making her look even more gentle. Her entire person was pure and tantalizing.
However, her obsidian-like eyes were still as lifeless as before.
“Come here.” Ji Han’s gaze lingered on her body for a moment before he waved at her. One could vaguely see the cuff on her wrist.
As she was acting like a mentally ill person, Jiang Boyan did not react at all. In the end, Madam Lin led her to Ji Han’s side and then left on her own. Jiang Boyan stood in front of Ji Han in a daze.
Ji Han stretched out his long arm and held onto Jiang Boyan’s waist. With a strong force, he made her sit in his arms. Ji Han held onto Jiang Boyan. After making sure that she would thrash about, he adjusted his posture and continued playing the game.
Jiang Boyan’s hair almost stood on end.
Was Ji Han just using her as a pillow?
‘Forget it.’
Ji Han was such a big CEO. He would definitely go to the company in a while. When that time came, she would be able to run away. She did not care about this moment.
Jiang Boyan suppressed her desire to struggle, but Ji Han had no intention of letting her go. He pressed his hand against Jiang Boyan’s and made her hold the game controller. Then, he held onto Jiang Boyan’s hand, he smiled gently by her ear and said, “You should eat more. You’re like a child.”
Jiang Boyan looked down and saw that her small hands were completely enveloped in the man’s hands.
The man’s deep voice was like the low hum of a cello, flowing all the way into Jiang Boyan’s heart. Her heart suddenly thumped heavily, and she did not come back to her senses for a moment.
Seeing that there was no longer time for Ji Han to listen to his report on the company, Yan Xiu closed the document and retreated.
Ji Han held Jiang Boyan in an uncomfortable position. He also held her hands in an overbearing manner. It seemed like he was seriously teaching her how to operate the controller, but in fact, he was very dishonest as he rubbed and pinched her fingers.
The man’s body temperature was extremely high. She felt as if she was about to be set on fire.
“Bang!”
Ji Han suddenly got closer. His hot breath was by Jiang Boyan’s ear as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
It was extremely ambiguous.
Jiang Boyan’s breathing stopped, and she almost subconsciously elbowed him. After forcefully restraining herself, she realized that the game on TV had ended. Ji Han’s character had blown up the enemy’s lair, he was only imitating the final explosion sound effect.
This pervert.
Jiang Boyan gritted her teeth.
Ji Han was in an extremely good mood as he used Jiang Boyan’s hand to click on “One more round.” Madam Chen clutched a few roses that she had cut from the backyard as she walked from the villa’s entrance to the sofa.
Ji Han turned to take a look and said in an indifferent voice, “These few roses are blooming well. Why did you cut them?”
Madam Chen’s expression was a little flustered. She did not expect Ji Han to be concerned about such trivial matters, she quickly bowed her head and said respectfully, “Young Master Ji, these few roses have blossomed outside the garden. They are crooked and not very good-looking. I have cut them and I plan to place them in the vase in Miss Chen’s room.”
Ji Han had instructed that the roses only belonged to the garden. They could not appear anywhere other than the garden.
After saying this, Jiang Boyan, who was sitting in Ji Han’s arms, felt his mood shift.
“Hah!”
The man let go of the controller and Jiang Boyan’s hands. His voice was so cold that it seemed as if it could freeze things. “Every year, people don’t know their place. Roses, or those b*stards from the company…”
‘Don’t know their place? A few roses just did not grow where they were supposed to. Is there a need to react like that that?’
Madam Chen’s hand that was holding the roses was trembling slightly.
“Do you think these things are worthy of being left for others to see?” Ji Han’s voice was so cold that it made everyone tremble. “All of them are to be cut and thrown out of the Ji family. They are to be destroyed now.”
“Okay, Young Master Ji.”
Madam Chen did not dare to say anything. She quickly took out the small scissors that she had used to cut the flowers. She took out a garbage bag from somewhere and cut the delicate roses into pieces with scissors.
Snip, snip, snip.
With every snip, Jiang Boyan felt that the scissor blades had landed on her neck.
This Ji Han was really unreasonable. Weren’t they just roses that grew outside the garden? How did that lead to this? It was so ruthless to the roses.
But her plan…
The man’s big and powerful hand had drifted to the back of her neck.
Ji Han laughed lightly as his hot palm gently rubbed the back of Jiang Boyan’s fragile neck. The coldness in his eyes became even more pronounced. “Little Thing, did you see the end of those few roses? If you also feel that the garden isn’t good and want to escape, the end will be…”
Ji Han stopped at the most crucial point.
Jiang Boyan’s body was completely frozen in Ji Han’s embrace. What would the end be?
Ji Han pinched the back of Jiang Boyan’s neck and moved closer to her. His dangerous eyes stared at the young girl’s dark, clear eyes. “The end would mean lying with the roses in the garden. Your body will be a good source of nourishment for them”
The hair on Jiang Boyan’s body stood on end.
“Perhaps you think you can escape from my grasp. Unfortunately, as long as you are in Z Country, you can not escape my eyes.”
Ji Han’s eyes were full of seriousness, as if he was speaking honestly without exaggerating.
Jiang Boyan’s scalp tingled. She froze in Ji Han’s arms, completely losing control of her body. If it were not for Ji Han’s tight grip, she would have already slid to the ground.
Jiang Boyan felt that Ji Han knew everything about her.
Perhaps Ji Han even knew about her plan to escape.
However, Ji Han only threatened her. Why was that?
Jiang Boyan was extremely close to Ji Han. She could even see that the man’s pupils were a rare but beautiful color. She could not help but tremble slightly.
“What are you afraid of? Little Thing, did you understand what I just said? It seems that your illness is not that serious.” Ji Han stared at Jiang Boyan without moving. Even their auras were slowly blending together.
Jiang Boyan’s mind buzzed. She did not know how to compete with this man.
He was much stronger than those people from the Jiang family.
After Ji Han finished what he wanted to say, he started a new game with Jiang Boyan. It was as if nothing had happened. The meaning behind his words seemed to be obvious, but at the same time, it was as if he did not know anything.
Jiang Boyan sat stiffly in Ji Han’s arms. How could she still have the mood to see what the game character was doing? The only sound in her ears was the sound of Madam Chen tearing the roses apart.
Crack, crack.
The sound was almost negligible in comparison to the noisy sounds of the game, but each time she heard it, it hurt her heart.
Jiang Boyan felt that she was the rose in Madam Chen’s hands. She would soon be turned into mush as well.
In the end, Ji Han still went to the company, but Jiang Boyan stopped thinking about running away.
No matter how much Ji Han knew about her, she had to be wary of him. If Ji Han knew everything and was just teasing her, it meant that her life was not in danger yet.
If she ran away now, it might endanger her life.
After all, Jiang Boyan temporarily did not have the ability to deal with a man like Ji Han, who had almost no flaws.. Plus, the Jiang family was also eyeing her covetously.
