Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 293: The Last Collaboration

But in this world, things often don’t go as we wish. In less than ten minutes, Gu Ningyue was already leaning tightly against Ling Tianyou.

Although her expression was calm, her tense body betrayed her.

Ling Tianyou smiled without a word, simply allowing Gu Ningyue to lean tightly on him.

He liked the feeling of being relied upon by Gu Ningyue, just as he hoped she would think of him first when encountering any trouble.

As time passed, the movie soon reached the most thrilling part. Ling Tianyou turned his head to look at the trembling Gu Ningyue: "Scared?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head fiercely, "I’m not."

Ling Tianyou’s face remained calm, as if the screen wasn’t showing a horror movie, but a boring documentary.

"Then pretend I’m the one scared!"

The moment the female ghost appeared, Ling Tianyou suddenly pulled her into his arms. Her eyes instinctively shut tight, and she didn’t even hear a single scream. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

About a minute later, Ling Tianyou let her out of his embrace again: "This movie does have a bit of novelty."

He spoke entirely with the attitude of a businessman assessing value.

Gu Ningyue’s face turned slightly red, perhaps because her fear had been seen through, or because Ling Tianyou’s calmness made her nervous.

In any case, it wasn’t until the movie ended that the blush on her face slowly faded away.

Perhaps because of Ling Tianyou’s thoughtfulness, she didn’t find the latter half of the movie as terrifying.

"I need to go back and change clothes. Do you want to come with me?" Ling Tianyou stood up, stretched lazily, and with a smile, extended an invitation to her.

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No."

What would she do, accompanying Ling Tianyou back to change clothes, observe from the side?

Although Ling Tianyou’s figure was indeed good, doing so would be quite rogue!

Gu Ningyue thought about how she had nestled in Ling Tianyou’s embrace the whole night before, and her heart inexplicably felt a little hot.

How could he do this! Taking advantage of her while she was asleep!

Ling Tianyou seemed to already know she would refuse, he just said, "Then I’ll go first. I’ll come to see you tonight."

Gu Ningyue paused, her heart suddenly racing again: "Come see me tonight?"

Ling Tianyou raised an eyebrow: "What, is that not okay?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "No, just thought it might be inconvenient for you, and besides, your parents there might need company too?"

Ling Tianyou smiled faintly: "I appreciate your concern, but my parents have Liu Liu with them. They don’t need me much. More importantly, my parents are soft-hearted. If I go back, they might try to persuade me to change my mind, to figure out a way to bring Tianze home. So, I better not go back too often!"

Gu Ningyue suddenly understood: "Then you should go back first, otherwise, being late for the afternoon meeting would be bad."

Although Ling Tianyou currently holds power in the Ling Family, those old board members, even if she hadn’t met them, she could guess they aren’t easy to deal with.

After all, a new reign brings new officials, as it has been since ancient times.

Ling Tianyou reached out and touched her face with a reluctant tone: "Be good and rest at home. It’s very hot today, don’t run around. If you need anything, just call Xiao Li. Don’t be afraid to trouble him."

Gu Ningyue nodded and turned her face to avoid his hand: "Alright, alright, I know, I’m not a child!"

What’s with Ling Tianyou, why is he so excessively gentle?

Seeing Gu Ningyue’s shy demeanor, Ling Tianyou pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, then I’m off."

Because Gu Ningyue was injured, he didn’t let her come downstairs to see him off.

As the car started, Ling Tianyou made a phone call: "Xiao Li, is everything arranged?"

"President Ling, everything is arranged. I’ve set up personnel around the Young Madam’s villa. As soon as they appear, they’ll be captured immediately."

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Be careful not to let the Young Madam find out."

That girl is clever. The people he sent to protect her before had all been dismissed by her.

This time, there mustn’t be a repeat.

"Don’t worry, President Ling, I’ll be careful."

Hanging up the phone, Ling Tianyou drove towards his own home.

After changing clothes and arriving at the company, the assistant was already waiting at the door.

As soon as his car stopped, the assistant quickly ran over to open the car door for him: "President Ling, the meeting is starting in five minutes, and the board members are all inside waiting!"

Ling Tianyou nodded faintly, "Hmm, did you prepare all the materials I asked for?"

His demeanor was still as cold as ice, but the aura around him seemed somewhat different from before.

Assistant couldn’t help but wonder, what’s going on with President Ling? Is there some good news?

At this moment, he couldn’t think too much. His mouth replied mechanically: "Everything is ready, including the cooperation plans with the Chen Family, and the PPT is all set. Just waiting for you, President Ling."

The two walked into the conference room, and as soon as Ling Tianyou appeared, everyone’s gaze fixated on him.

An elder who had been with Ling Chengyang for over a dozen years glanced at his watch and looked at Ling Tianyou: "President Ling, your timing is very precise."

Ling Tianyou looked at the clock, the second hand pointing exactly at three, and a faintly provocative smile appeared on his lips: "It’s good that President Yue values time. I trust your employees are as punctual as President Zhang."

Yue Jian Country’s recent project malfunctioned because his employees failed to deliver on time, resulting in a hefty penalty for breach of contract.

The loss of this money was naturally also a loss for the Ling Group.

However, having been in the Ling Group for a long time, Yue Jian Country didn’t take this loss seriously.

At this point, hearing Ling Tianyou’s words, Yue Jian Country’s face darkened momentarily, but with so many watching, he couldn’t react.

He could only coldly snort in his heart and let it go!

"Since everyone is here, let’s officially start the board meeting." Ling Tianyou turned to his assistant, signaling him to take notes.

The assistant nodded, looking at the people below without any expression.

Having been with Ling Tianyou for a long time, he somehow caught that demeanor.

Seeing board members, he couldn’t help but also put on a cold face, unable to squeeze out a smile.

But today, Ling Tianyou seemed in a good mood, able to discuss calmly with a few provocative old hands, which surprised everyone.

Normally, he would have immediately fired or demoted them as before.

The rationale would certainly be provided, just not at the location he was at.

"I’ll say this one last time, this is the last time we cooperate with the Chen Family. No one can afford any slip-ups. Any issues, whoever is responsible will bear all consequences!"
