Chapter 1145 - Fine As Hell
Orchidia Beauty.
Compared to the last few weeks, things were more relaxed at the company now that Jin Chonglin’s Prinz men’s line finally launched. Nevertheless, it was still quite busy because the company wanted to end the year with a bang just like most businesses during this period. As the Chief Financial Officer, Long Jinjing had to be very focused so that there wouldn’t be any mistakes when crunching the numbers.
It was no problem for her especially right now that she was in an excellent mood. For the entire workday, Long Jinjing felt motivated and productive. Many of the employees and her other colleagues, including her best friend Chen Fei, complimented that she looked blooming.
Chen Fei knew the reason why Long Jinjing was looking positively radiant today. Fortunately, Chen Fei didn’t have the time to continue grumbling about Long Jinjing getting back together with Lu Zihao. Chen Fei only had the time to say hello to Amanpio Kileksky and the other geniuses from Cross Academy before she needed to leave to attend another publicity event with Jin Chonglin for his Prinz men’s line.
With Chen Fei gone, it was up to Long Jinjing to show the Cross Academy ladies around. Amanpio already headed straight to the Product Development Department by himself to meet up with Alric Bauer.
The most eye-catching out of all of them was definitely Ashandra Knightson. She was so beautiful that even the females couldn’t help but form a crush on her. Although her charisma wasn’t as strong as Iris Long who had an extraordinary natural stage presence, Ashandra Knightson made up for it with her beauty, and of course, her genius talent and impressive reputation in the art world.
If Long Jinjing hadn’t met Ashandra and the other Cross Academy ladies before this, she would’ve definitely felt intimidated by all these amazing geniuses. Fortunately, she already befriended all of them through her younger sister.
Later that afternoon, she received a call from Lu Zihao. She excused herself from the Cross Academy ladies to answer her phone.
"Hello, Nikolai?"
"I’m coming to pick you up right now," he told her.
She explained to him that she would be delayed today because she was showing Iris’ friends from Cross Academy around the company.
"No problem. I’ll come up and join you. I’m familiar with them anyway. Do you mind?"
Her heart skipped a beat while a foolish smile spread across her face. She tried to hide it but her assistant and the other employees had already seen her. A knowing look passed between all of them when they stole glances at her.
"Of course, it’s okay with me. I would love to show you around my workplace. But, uhm, is it okay with you? You’ve never shown yourself here whenever you come to pick me up before."
"I said I’m coming so of course I’m okay with it. I’ll be there in about ten minutes. Inform someone of my arrival. I don’t want to fucking waste my time checking in at the reception desk."
"Uhm, I’ll meet you at the lobby myself."
"Okay, good. See you."
When Long Jinjing returned, the ladies immediately noticed her blushing face.
"Your boyfriend called?" AJ Zheneres asked in a teasing tone.
Long Jinjing blushed even more but she still nodded.
"Your boyfriend is Hunter Lu, am I right?" Florence O’Sevan asked. "Sir Lu’s grandson? I remember that the two of you couldn’t keep your hands off each other during Xiulan and Liam’s wedding."
The other ladies giggled. Long Jinjing covered her face in her shyness. Still, she nodded. The ladies giggled even more.
"Let’s go to the lobby and wait for your boyfriend, then," Theresa Blipsburg suggested.
"Is it okay for you to go down all the way to the lobby with me?" Long Jinjing asked.
"Girl, although I’m married and gave birth to a baby, I wouldn’t want to miss admiring a fine man like your Hunter up close," AJ said, winking at her.
Long Jinjing smiled and felt proud of her man. "Okay. Let’s go."
She led the group of geniuses down to the lobby where they continued chatting at the waiting area. They didn’t wait long before a tall man entered the building. All eyes fell on him.
It wasn’t just his huge size or his muscles that drew their attention. His handsome appearance despite the large, scary scar on his face and his oozing masculinity were undeniable. He was wearing a simple black windbreaker which was definitely not enough to shield him from the cold weather outside. Despite this, he didn’t look cold at all. His mirrored shades concealed his eyes but that only added to his appeal.
AJ whistled. "The man is fine as hell."
Long Jinjing’s heart was racing inside her chest. She had the strongest urge to run to her man and throw her arms around him. However, she restrained herself because she still needed to maintain a certain level of dignity as one of the executives in the company.
Lu Zihao scanned the area and soon found them. He gestured for her to stay put and walked towards them. The other ladies greeted him. He nodded at them while wrapping his arm around Long Jinjing’s waist.
Audible gasps were heard in the lobby as the employees watched their CFO showing such blatant PDA with a man.
"Oh my! Is that CFO Long’s boyfriend? He’s hot!"
"Look at all those muscles!"
"This is the first time I’ve seen CFO Long’s boyfriend! My gosh! I didn’t expect that CFO Long’s type is that kind of macho man. I thought that with her good girl personality, her boyfriend is going to be the scholarly kind like CPO Bauer."
As these employees present in the lobby were mostly entry-level, they didn’t recognize Lu Zihao at all.
Long Jinjing’s phone rang. It was a business call. She excused herself again to answer it. Meanwhile, Lu Zihao chatted with his younger sister’s friends. These were geniuses like Evelinka and it was always a good thing to form connections with this kind of people who might develop into powerful figures in the future.
None of them knew that there was a paparazzo taking shots of Ashandra Knightson inside Orchidia Beauty from a neighbouring building using ultra-long zoom lensed camera.
