Chapter 317 - Found a place.

" Hmm...delicious." Xu Nuan mȯȧnėd at the delicious taste of the cheesecake. She took another bite of it which melted in her mouth instantly. 

It's been days since she ate anything delicious like this. The medicines given by Xie Ming are bitter and smell horrible, yet she has to take them three times a day, without fail. Along with that, she was told to follow a strict diet for a few days to replenish her energy. 

She is not even that sick that they're overreacting like this but Han Zihao has taken the words of the pretty doctor too seriously and has banned her from eating any junk food. 

_

Today she finally came out after a long time and was having her favorite strawberry cheesecake and coffee. She was tired of having tea and plain milk all the time. Erghh!!

Hu Jun frowned seeing Xu Nuan gobbling the cheesecake as if she hadn't eaten it in years. It's been more than 15 minutes since they met and she was just eating and eating. 

" Were you starving all this time? Do you remember that this is your third piece already? And didn't you tell me that you won't eat with me since you don't like to eat with strangers, then why are you suddenly eating with me?" He asked in confusion. 

She looked up while savoring her cake and said, "Because I have no choice. Seems like I am getting better at eating with others now." 

Even she was surprised at this. These days she doesn't feel much discomfort eating with strangers or at a restaurant just like before. If this would have been the case, she couldn't have shared meals with Han Zihao either when they met as strangers. 

Is she getting better at it because she is Xu Nuan now and not Jiang Yue? However, she did feel uncomfortable with many people around and especially when they ate anything soupy or mushrooms. This triggers the dark memories of the past, reminding her of the day when she lost her family. 

Hu Jun scoffed, " Why did you call me here? What is so urgent that you wanted to meet me today?" 

Xu Nuan wiped her mouth with a tissue and casually adjusted her posture and looked at him, " Have you wrapped up all of your work? You aren't doing anything shady, are you?" She asked coldly. 

Hu Jun pursed his lips, " What do you think? Don't you know about it already? I mean...How can you invade my computer and monitor my activities like this?"

A few days while he was playing on his computer, he realized something strange. There was an unknown file that he never downloaded and after investigating it, he found out that Xu Nuan was keeping an eye on his activities. 

Shit!! Can't she trust him? How can she invade his privacy like this? 

Does that mean...she has watched everything he does on the computer? 

Xu Nuan smirks upon seeing his embarrassed face and chuckles, " I was just making sure if you're following the contract well or not. By the way, you seemed to be quite lonely these days, it was full of-

" Stop it. Don't say anything else, Please." He begs her to not mention anything about it in front of him again. He is already embarrassed to the point that he wants to dash out of the cafe. 

'It's so embarrassing.' 

After she finished her cake and was sipping on her hot latte, she heard him say, " Until when are we going to be like this? It's more than a month and you haven't given me a single project yet. Are you even planning to pay me or not? Don't tell me you're planning to scam me to work for you and not gonna pay me?"

Xu Nuan scoffed seeing him worrying about his pay and said, " What pay? Didn't we decide to share the profits according to the contract? Just be patient and focus on sorting out your personal life first. Don't you dare fool me and do your illegal work while working for me. Otherwise, I will be the first one to put you in jail, got it?"

" I don't want to face any legal complications with my company later." She commented. 

Seeing his speechless expressions, she put down her cup and sighed, " Also, we will start working soon. By the way, did you do the work I told you to do?"

He nodded, " I did. But why do you want to register another company? Didn't you register your cyber security company recently? Why a new company this time?"

" For the cyber security company, I will not be managing it." 

He raised his brows in confusion, " If not you, then who will…"

" You!!" 

" Ah?" He stared at her in confusion, not knowing what's going on in her tine, bird-like head. 

Xu Nuan smiled seeing his frozen expressions and said, " You will be the one managing it. That's my side company and the new company will be my main. That's why I need you to manage the cyber security company. If you do well, I will also increase your profit share, So..you better do well. I am counting on you."

He was surprised upon hearing her words. She trust him? Even his parents never trusted him for anything big like this, how can she ask him to handle her company? 

He was silent for a moment and didn't know how to react. Why does she-

He thought that she would treat him like shit and will make him work like a dog. However, she is more shockingly naive than he had thought. 

Is she that naive and innocent or is she playing with him? He wasn't sure. 

" You...why are you being so generous with me all of a sudden? You're creeping me out." He said in shock while rubbing his arms to warm them up. She is giving him goosebumps. 

Xu Nuan chuckled seeing his reaction and was pleased by it. " I have found a place to set up the company. The repair work will be done in a few days and you can start working from there." 

While working for the award ceremony, she was looking for a place to set up their new company as well. Cyber security is not just an online company but she wants to give it a full office-like setup on a low budget to make her company a legit one. 

It will be her source of investment for now. She used the money that she received from Gu Zhang to solve the issue of the company and it was enough for her to buy a small place for rent and buy the systems that they require for the work. 

" Are you serious? You already found a place?" Hu Jun asked in shock. 

Xu Nuan nodded and picked up her sling bag, ready to leave, " If we're done here, I am leaving. It will be 7 pm soon, I can't be late. Otherwise, I will get an earful of nagging." 

"From whom?"

She pursed her lips and shook her head, " Nothing. I am leaving."

"Ah, Wait...I...have something to say to you." He said hesitantly. " I saw you at the award ceremony. You're the manager of The Knights. Right?"

"You know them?" She was surprised that a great hacker like him knows The Knights. That's quite a twist. 

He pursed his lips and smiled shyly, " Well, I am their fan you see. I even have their album."

"Since you're their manager, can you get their signs on it? I really like them. If you do that, I promise I will work hard for you." he said excitedly. 

Xu Nuan was surprised to see his eyes sparkling in excitement. She couldn't help but chuckle how a man like him who has threatened the business of many large conglomerates is asking her to get the signs of The Knights on it. 

" Waah, I didn't know that other than scamming people, you're into chasing after girl groups too. I am surprised." She said with a smirk and took the album from him and looked at it. 

"Please…." He pleaded with her again. He might dislike her, but he loves The Knights. Only she can get him their signatures. 

Xu Nuan nodded and smiled at him before leaving the cafe, " I am leaving, See ya." 

His eyes widened in shock seeing that she had left the album on the table and growled, " Yah. take the album with you. Why are you leaving it behind like this? Hey!!" However. Xu Nuan didn't turn around and left him alone in the cafe. 

'This stingy girl. I don't understand why people like her, she doesn't deserve to be with the girls. Humph.' He murmured under his breath. 

How mean can she become?
