s if she had passed the crisis. However, her face was still very pale."Miss Qi, how are you feeling" Fu Xiaoyao asked standing by the bedside.Qi Ya didn't answer, lifting her head and fixing her gaze...Lu Hanchuan glanced at her, reaching out to shake her hand. "Ms. Shi."

"Lu Zong, this is..." A high-level executive who didn't recognize Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask.

Lu Hanchuan lowered his hand. “This is Ms. Shi Yao, the general manager of Shijia Energy Company.”

Upon hearing that Fu Xiaoyao was actually the director of the energy company, the senior executives present all stared at her in surprise. It was hard to believe that such a young woman could be in charge of such an important company.

"Hello everyone, I'm Shih Yao." Facing dozens of pairs of eyes, Fu Xiao Yao remained calm and composed, greeting them confidently.

Her bearing, and the aura of confident energy she exuded, had already led everyone to believe her claim.

"Director, you're so young and accomplished! Unlike us, who only reached our current positions at this age. We can't compare to you, not at all." Someone flattered him.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled, "Everyone is welcome. The fact that you are all here shows that you are all outstanding talents. There's no need to underestimate yourselves."

Her words brought a wave of relief to everyone present, who praised her eloquence.

Lu Hanchuan sat in the main seat without speaking, only silently watching everything. His understanding of Fu Xiaoyao deepened a lot.

This woman is indeed not a simple character. With just a few words, she successfully broke into the inner circle of these high-level officials and was accepted by them.

It has to be said, this woman is indeed very smart.

"Lu Zong!" Fu Xiaoyao suddenly called out to Lu Hanchuan.

陸寒川斂下思緒，抬眸看著她，“What's wrong”

"But shouldn't we be starting the meeting" Fu Xiaoyao smiled at her.

Lu Hanchuan glanced at his watch, time was up, he nodded slightly, "Alright."

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. No one spoke another word.

Seeing this scene, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flashed quickly with a hint of darkness, and she was amazed by Lu Hanchuan's majesty in the Lu Group.

This majesty is even greater than it was six years ago.

Indeed, she's growing. How could he possibly stand still

Fu Xiaoyao wryly tugged at the corner of her mouth.

The meeting began.

This meeting was of great importance, one could even say it marked the beginning of a technological revolution. The production of new energy vehicles signifies that traditional automobiles have begun to be phased out. Therefore, everyone in the conference room looked serious and listened attentively.

And the meeting was also very long, it took almost three hours to finish.

It had been a long time since a meeting lasted this long, but everyone's faces showed no fatigue whatsoever. Instead, there was a slow build of excitement and anticipation, anticipation for the arrival of new energy vehicles.

Everyone knows that as soon as the new energy vehicle is released, the value of Land Group will double, and its ranking in the world's top 500 will rise by more than a hundred places. At that time, they will make a fortune, so naturally no one feels tired about this meeting.

"Ms. Shi, do you know the results of yesterday's test" Lu Hanchuan suddenly walked up to Fu Xiaoyao when most of the people in the conference room had left.

Fu Xiaoyao was organizing the materials in front of her, and upon hearing his question, she nodded. "I know, the test results are very successful."

"Well then, I had a production line work overtime especially for this. They worked all night to manufacture the shell of an electric car, Miss Shi. Would you like to take a look" Lu Hanchuan looked at her.

Fu Xiaoyao was surprised, "The shell is out so quickly Of course I have to take a look. This concerns the interests of both our companies. I need to see if the shell meets my standards first."

"It will surely satisfy you, Miss Shi. Please." Lu Hanchuan made a gesture of invitation.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't hesitate either, smiled at him, then walked towards the conference room door.

As soon as they walked out of the meeting room, Lu Hanchuan caught up to her and walked side by side with her.

As they reached the elevator, Lu Hanchuan sized up the bag on Shi Xia's back while waiting. A flicker of disappointment, one he didn't even realize himself, crossed his eyes. "Ms. Shi, you're not carrying the bag I gave you"

Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly focused on her bag. However, she didn't think much of it and replied with a smile, "That bag doesn't match the color of my clothes today. It clashes, so I had to change bags. Otherwise, if I didn't highlight my outfit, it would look cheap."

陸寒川 thoughtfully nodded. “Miss Shi, do you understand fashion”

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes and said softly, "I learned fashion design for a while before, but something happened later. When I was thinking about revenge, I gave it up."

"I see." Lu Hanchuan replied, but said nothing more.

At that moment, the elevator arrived. With a ding, the elevator doors opened.

Lu Hanchuan motioned for Fu Xiaoyao to go in first.

Fu Xiaoyao had no objection and stepped into the elevator.

Lu Hanchuan followed her in, and Qiao Mu went in last.

After Qiao Mu went in, he walked to the corner and stood there, continuing to act as an invisible person, leaving space for Lu Hannan and the other.

I thought they would keep talking, but as soon as we got in the elevator, everyone went silent. It was so quiet in the big elevator shaft that it felt eerie.

Suddenly, the lights in the elevator flickered as if they were about to go out, and there was a buzzing sound of electricity.

"Is the elevator broken" Fu Xiaoyao frowned.

Lu Hanchuan looked up and was about to answer when suddenly the elevator shook violently.

Fu Xiaoyao let out a shriek of fright. She was wearing high heels, and with the sudden shaking, she couldn't stand steady at all. Her body lurched forward.

Just as her forehead was about to collide with the elevator door, an arm suddenly reached out, encircling her delicate waist and pulling her back.

Bang!

A dull thud.

Fu Xiaoyao's back slammed against a searing hot chest.

It's Lu Hanchuan!

He saved her, pulling her out of the way just as she was about to be hit.

Realizing this, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened, and it took her a long time to recover. Her brows furrowed, as if she couldn't accept that she had been saved by Lu Hanchuan. Her expression was rather unpleasant, "Lu總, you..."

"Don't move!" Sensing the woman in his arms trying to struggle, Lu Hanchuan warned in a low voice, "The elevator isn't fixed yet!"

As if in response to his words, the elevator lurched again.

Fu Xiaoyao instinctively lunged forward again.

However, with Lu Hanchuan's hand still hooked around her waist, she didn't lunge as dramatically as before.

But this wouldn't work for long. Lu Hanchuan supported himself on the elevator wall with one hand and held her with the other. She couldn't stand steady, and every time the elevator shook, she would wobble. Every time she wobbled, he had to use more force to hold her tighter. This way, his arm couldn't possibly last long.

And now his arm, already ached faintly.

Lu Hanchuan's handsome face darkened slightly, then he thought for a moment before decisively putting down the hand that was propping up the elevator wall. He grabbed Fu Xiaoyao's waist with both hands and, under her stunned gaze, spun her around, bringing her to the corner of the elevator.

This way, Fu Xiaoyao was backed against the elevator wall, with Lu Hanchuan in front of her.

Lu Hanchuan supported Fu Xiaoyao on both shoulders, trapping her between himself and the elevator wall to protect her from being knocked out by the swaying.

"Mr. Lu..."

"Don't worry!" Lu Hanchuan lowered his head and looked at the woman in front of him whose face was slightly pale. A picture suddenly flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously said, "I will protect you!"

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's pupils trembled, and she lowered her head without responding.

Protect her

Can he do it them to become killers." Shao Si Nian continued to taunt.Lu Hchuan's breath became rapid, his heart aching as if it were about to burst.Especially the sentence 'If someone hadn't stopped him in time,...
