At the Lu Firm building.
At six in the evening.
Most of the employees had already gotten off work.
Lu Manman sat in her office as she browsed through the plans on her computer. The setting sun shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing her in a warm glow as if she was in a dream. Her stern expression and pursed lips made it hard for anyone to get close to her.
After Zhang Cui finished reporting her work for the day, she was ready to go home.
When she left, she thought for a while, then suddenly returned to knock on Director Lu’s office door.
"Director Lu."
"Mm?" Lu Manman did not even look up as her slender fingers typed on the keyboard.
"Get off work early. You’ve been sleeping in the office for the past few nights," Zhang Cui said with concern.
Lu Manman furrowed her brows and looked up at Zhang Cui.
Under the setting sun, Zhang Cui seemed to soften after work.
"Aren’t you still newlyweds?" Zhang Cui blushed slightly.
"Okay." Lu Manman smiled. "Thank you for your concern. You can get off work first."
"Yes." Zhang Cui left respectfully.
Zhang Cui’s departure made Lu Manman pause for a moment.
She moved her aching shoulders, got up from her chair, and walked to the full-length window.
It was rush hour now, and there were lots of cars and people downstairs.
She sighed.
She remembered Mo Yuanxiu’s rejection this afternoon.
She could not put a finger to what she was feeling, but she felt something lodged in her throat, and she was even a little distracted today.
She attributed it to the fact that she did not know how to take over the land from Mo Yuanxiu or to have him go against the government for her sake.
