Be Gentle, My Master

In the eighth floor conference room, the heads of various departments of Shengyi Group were all present, including the chairman, Qi Shu.

Mu Xiaojiu sat at the head of the conference table.

From his arrival till now, his face had been void of emotions.

The General Manager of the Marketing Department, Dong Yifei, had been explaining the details of the project to him, but Mr.

Xiaojiu seemed utterly indifferent.

Dong Yifei wasn’t sure if he was even paying attention to his words.

Regardless, he was forced to soldier on with his presentation.

But Mr.

Xiaojiu’s lack of response, his cold demeanor, made it increasingly difficult for the general manager to breathe.

The pressure was enormous!

Mr.

Xiaojiu didn’t even hum in acknowledgment, showing no reaction at all.

Not just Dong Yifei, but everyone from Shengyi, including the chairman, were on the edge of their seats, sweating profusely.

If Mr.

Xiaojiu didn’t approve, the project they’d been preparing for so long would become utterly futile and their bonuses for the next three years would be in jeopardy.

The recent internal strife in Shengyi turned the winning of this project into a matter of survival.

If they failed, bankruptcy was imminent.

Everyone was holding their breath and stealing glances at Mr.

Xiaojiu, trying to gauge his reaction.

But Mr.

Xiaojiu didn’t betray any hint of a reaction, leaving them in a state of panic.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door followed by Ye Hua pushing the door open.

A girl, her face pale, walked in, with Ye Hua and Manager Su behind her.

It was obvious the girl was reluctant and had half been pushed into coming in.

Anyone could see that.

More so when she saw the man at the head of the conference table.

It was already quite remarkable that she didn’t back away, let alone march forward.

This young girl was wearing the uniform of the Shengyi welcome team.

However, none of the present managers of Shengyi recognized her.

Baili Xia was considering escaping.

After actually seeing Mu Xiaojiu, she not only halted in her steps, but she also wanted to turn and flee.

She thought she could pretend to be calm in front of him, but she realized she couldn’t.

She couldn’t forget his powerful force when he was on top of her, his sweat falling on her, and the pain he inflicted on her that night.

Even now, seeing this devilish man, she seemed to be able to still feel the dull pain between her legs.

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze fell on her delicate figure.

Seeing her wanting to run away, his thin lips curved up slowly.

Mr.

Xiaojiu was smiling!

All the senior executives of Shengyi were startled and turned their gazes towards Baili Xia.

The arrival of this girl made Mr.

Xiaojiu, who usually wore an expressionless face that inspired fear, smile!

As the chairman, Qi Shu was the first to react, promptly instructing his assistant, “Quickly arrange a seat for this…

“Mr.

Qi, she is Miss Baili,” Manager Su, who had escorted Baili Xia, promptly introduced her.

Qi Shu flashed a smile, “Quickly find a seat for Miss Baili.”

“Yes, Mr.

Qi,” the assistant stood up.

Before the assistant could move a chair, the man at the head of the table, prestigious as a king, moved his rose-colored lips and calmly uttered his command in a chilling voice, “No need, Xiaxia will sit with me.”

When Mr.

Xiaojiu spoke, who dared to object?

Perhaps only the girl who was so flustered that she was barely standing.

Sit with him…

No, she didn’t want to sit with this devil!

She quickly turned to escape, but evidently, she didn’t have that chance.

Ye Hua simply reached out and grabbed her, and before Baili Xia knew it, she found herself sitting down.

Sitting…

on Mr.

Xiaojiu’s lap…

He lowered his gaze, with his eyes fixed on her face.

As their gazes met, she felt as if her breath had completely stopped at that moment.
