The study door was ajar. He pushed it open, and a voice came from inside. “Just wait for a while. I’ll go out and eat when I’m hungry.”

Luo Yun sat in front of the desk with her hands on the keyboard, typing non-stop. She did not even look up. She thought that it was the servant that had come up again until she heard a male voice. “How long do I have to wait?”

Luo Yun looked up and realized that it was Bai Qihan. When she looked at the time again, she realized that it was already past nine o’clock. She had been in the study since noon. Other than going to the bathroom, she had not stopped working at all. She had almost forgotten to eat and sleep as she wrote her business plan. Unexpectedly, it was already so late. “But I haven’t finished writing.”

“Just continue writing tomorrow.” Bai Qihan’s tone inadvertently revealed a sense of dominance, “It’s already nine.”

“Alright then.” Luo Yun had always been one to give in to him right away. However, her eyes shifted. “Were you waiting to eat together with me?”

“If I had not come back, would you not have eaten?” Bai Qihan asked.

“I was too focused and forgot about the time,” Luo Yun said with a smile. She looked at the fatigue on his face and felt some heartache. “I know that you were very busy today. I saw the news report about the group’s strategic reorganization.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qihan’s eyes darkened.

Luo Yun pushed him down the stairs and said, “Although the hotel business is a branch of the real estate industry, it isn’t easy to manage. It is especially so when the industry is so saturated. It will be a real test of your abilities.” She secretly observed him and saw that his expression did not change much.

If that was the case, then it was as if she had not said anything at all. She had clearly failed to comfort Bai Qihan with just that, so she added, “The popularity of themed hotels and homestays is already fading. Now that smart hotels are on the rise, if we can seize this opportunity, the hotel business under the group might be able to get ahead of others.”

Bai Qihan could not help but look at her. This did not sound like something an inexperienced girl would say. Even during today’s meeting, no one had realized that problem. The company’s losses were due to the existence of the trash that managed it! He had held back during the meeting and was already thinking about layoffs on the way back.

“I’m just speaking casually.” Luo Yun saw that he still had no reaction and could not help but add.

“What you said is actually very good. Do you have any specific ideas?” Bai Qihan asked.

The two of them went to the dining room and sat down. Luo Yun thought for a moment and said, “I can’t tell you anything too specific. I just think that the problem you really need to focus on at the moment is not the direction of hotels’ future development, but whether you are able to make use of the experienced people from the foundation that is the financial business that you have experience in to implement and execute change. If not, then all the plans are for nothing.”

Luo Yun pointed out the problem.

Bai Qihan pursed his lips. “If I want to improve the business, but don’t have anyone around me that I can use, then the only thing I can do is…”

“Merger and acquisition.”

The two of them said in unison.

Bai Qihan’s furrowed brows finally relaxed. He looked at her deeply and said, “You’re very knowledgeable about strategic investments.”

He spoke affirmatively.

This was the affirmation from a big boss.

Although Luo Yun was a doctor in medicine, she also minored in finance during her undergraduate years. She had also made some investments in private.

“Ah, I’ve been doing some research recently.”

“Is that so?” Bai Qihan raised his eyebrows.

Luo Yun nodded. “I also bought a lot of books to read. Let’s eat. I’m hungry.”

Bai Qihan did not ask further.

After dinner, the two of them said goodnight to each other at the door of their respective rooms.

Before they went back into their rooms, Luo Yun squatted down and smiled at Bai Qihan.

Bai Qihan asked, “What’s wrong?” Is there something on my face?

“Actually, I’m already writing what I just said. If you’re satisfied after reading it, what are you going to give me as a reward?” Luo Yun smiled.

Bai Qihan also smiled. So she wanted a reward. “I’ll pay you twice the market price.”

Why is he so generous? However, by then, she would not be short of money. She squinted her eyes and smiled. When she saw Bai Qihan’s gaze, she seemed to have other intentions. “I don’t want that. But I definitely won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll tell you what I want when the time comes.”

Bai Qihan’s confused and complicated expression made Luo Yun’s mood improve. During this period of time, Bai Qihan had become more and more relaxed in front of her, and his expression had become increasingly varied. Looking at the handsome face in front of her, she had a thought and went to kiss his cheek. After that, she immediately ran into her room and closed the door.

Bai Qihan was speechless.
