Chapter 185 - She was attractive like fire to moths.

Li Xue could not contain herself when she heard Chen Yujian bringing the same topic again. She was already all accommodated with such thoughts and now he was making it worse with his assumptions.

If not still holding her last string of patience, she would have not hesitated to hit him on the same foot she had did last night. But she has just switched his legs this time so that he could still have his previous leg saved. Warning him, she was about to send him back to his work when suddenly a mature aged voice snapped her back.

"Chef Li, I have a request for you!"

Li Xue turned to find the aged Director standing behind them looking at them with a smile. His hands were at his sides and just by his look, the woman can say that the request he has come to her with is not a simple one.

"Director Huo!" She greeted politely and then gave a side glance to the man at the side to do the same. Chen Yujian looked at her and simply put an expression of arrogance on his face which was clearing putting a challenge in front of her, 'want me to follow your orders then make me'.

Li Xue pinched her brows when caught the sight of his arrogant challenge on his face and in the next second before the man could even realize her fingers swiftly moved to pinch him hard on his arm, making him give out another scream of pain and surprise.

Even Executive Director Chief, Huo Rong was taken aback with such a daring move of hers. But then again, he also knew that it was really not easy for anyone to take control of Chen Yujian. If her getting fierce can make a change, then he was more than happy with that.

"You … You are fierce with me all time. Can you not be a little gentler at times?" he asked, still holding the pain in his expressions.

"Only if you behave well. Now fast, greet the Director properly or this time I can get fiercer", she said deepening her gaze at him. Her words were not something easy to ignore by Chen Yujian's ears anymore.

Quickly bowing a little at his front, he gave a quick greeting to the old man at the front. Though it was still not a proper way to greet a senior, it was a nice change, to begin with. Presenting an awkward smile, Li Xue said in a little apologizing tone. "Ahh! I am sorry Director Chief. This intern under me is still lacking manners, I will teach him better afterwards"

"With you around, I can rest assured", The aged senior official said with a smile as his eyes turned to look at the young man, who has always been a tough nut to crack, even for his parents. Seeing him being so polite was enough honour for him. Reverting his eyes at the woman, he presented the request he was here for.

"Sorry to ask you Chef Li but now we only have you," he said pausing between his words to build an air of dependence and urgency around. Li Xue also tilted her face slightly to her side in confusion. She was already getting a mysterious vibe in her heart. Nodding politely, she asked Huo Rong to proceed his words further.

"We have to send someone from our team to Feng Internationals to present this month details to the higher-ups. And we have chosen you from us. So I am here to request you to manage everything there for us. We are not dependent on you", He said, still maintaining the smile with which he has begun his words.

But the expression on Li Xue's face got frozen at an instant. What exact plans was the fate having for her now? She has been avoiding Mr Beelzebub since morning, putting up so many efforts and here again she was going to …

Clearing her throat, a little, she tried her best to bring a polite smile on her lips but failed giving an awkward one. "Ah haha … Director Chief, how can you entrust such a big responsibility to me. I have just joined here and still have a lot to learn. How can I even explain things to them when I, myself, have no great information?? Why don't you send Chef Ning? She is quite experienced and will be tenfold better than someone like me who has no knowledge about it"

Seeing her getting so conscious suddenly, Chen Yujian wasn't able to control his lips from curling. Shifting a little to her side, he whispered lightly near her ears, so that it was only her to hear. "Didn't someone just say that she does not fear my Uncle? Then what happened now?"

Pulling her lips tight, Li Xue lowered her head a little, turning it a little in his direction to glare at him. Her eyes warned him 'you better not begin it now'. The young man laughed looking at her like this. No doubt she has high charms to hold people gazes at her. Even seeing her warning his destruction, he could not bring himself to pause. Same like the story of moths and fire!

"Yes, we have earlier planned that but Chef Ning has got her ankle sprained earlier and now she is taking a day off. Even in such pain, she was forcing herself to go but we can't be too inhumane. Furthermore, Feng Internationals has always put their employees well – being as their priority. It would not be good to send her there when she is in such state", Huo Rong defended his decision and then looking expectantly at the woman, waited for her to agree.

There was no other way left for Li Xue. She wasn't given a choice, rather was conspired by her destiny to visit Mr Beelzebub on her own will. How unlucky one she was in this case! Finally nodding her head in agreement she asked one last question from the conversation. "So to whom would I report?"

Since it was just a general report of a quarter, she was sure that she would not have to report someone from extreme higher-ups there, more exactly she was counting on the chances where she won't have to meet Mr Beelzebub there. So sensing it as her last hope, she asked for her inner satisfaction.

"Its Ms Lin! I will call and tell her that you will be going there with the report!" the middle-aged man said as he quickly used his feet to walk back. calm and write something...
