4 I Asked For A Peaceful Life!

" No way...right?!?! I asked for a simple and peaceful life!!! What the freak is with this kind of sh*tty luck?! I can't believe the god really dumped me in this novel!!! ಥ_ಥ" Zhi Ruo cursed in her head as she thought about her situation again but still kept a stoic face on the outside.

Coming back to reality, Zhi Ruo frowned as she saw the executives going back and forth about a single detail in the contract, " Did the real owner really had to face this every day? "

She sighed in her heart and slammed the project's document on the table, dragging everyone's attention on her.

Using a freezing voice, Zhi Ruo said, " Am I here to hear you bicker or to talk about important stuff?"

" ... "Hearing this, the executives awkwardly sat back down and remembered how scary their boss is, cold sweat dripping off their back.

After receiving everyone's attention, Zhi Ruo projected a document on the white screen behind her, " This is the next project I want to work on. "

She lightly waved her hand to Li Xia to pass out the documents that the old host had prepared and continued on with a confident tone, " I want to acquire this land and make it into a giant tourist attraction place. Afterwards, we can establish our next hotel chain at that place and develop from there. "

" I want you guys to look further into the land and determine every default you might find in it including the solution to it. The good points can be worked on and developed if we can push it to the maximum of its quality. Contact the seller and make sure to establish a good connection. I want results one week from now and we'll take a vote. During this time, don't forget to continue working on other projects. " Zhi Ruo fluently instructed.

" As for the contract you were talking about, bicker all you want outside of the meeting room but for the next meeting, it has to be settled. " Zhi Ruo's face turned colder.

" For further details, we'll talk about it next week. " Zhi Ruo stood up and walked towards the door that Li Xia opened for her, knowing Zhi Ruo very well.

" Dismissed, " she said before heading back to her office.

Everyone was left dumbstruck, they all knew the president didn't need to search for new projects to work on as she was already busy enough with other things but they never thought that their mighty president would do extra work just to propel the company even more.

They now looked at her with even more admiration in their eyes. It hasn't even been 2 years since she took the company and their president was already on top of everything. Z Empire was fated to prosper.

Reaching her office, Zhi Ruo immediately slumped down on her chair and buried her face into her palms, " I am never going to survive this job nor this workload of stuff! Please kill me now! "

" Didn't I say I wanted a life where I don't need to work?! " Zhi Ruo grumbled but she knew she had to work either way. As they say, " Nothing worth having comes easy. "

Zhi Ruo exasperatedly turned to the pile of paperwork Li Xia put on her desk and resigned herself to look at it.

She gritted her teeth and started reading them.

Fortunately, with the old host' skills she read very fast and was able to understand easily what the document talked about. Whether she approved it or not also became an easier task after a few documents of long deliberation.

After long hours, Zhi Ruo finally went through half of the pile and exasperatedly looked up at the clock that indicated 12:30.

" That's my break right? Thank god! " Zhi Ruo was over the moon but she was obviously not thanking the god who dumped her here.

Zhi Ruo grabbed her purse and walked out of her grandiose office, " Li Xia, you are not going to eat? "

Zhi Ruo saw that Li Xia still had her head buried in documents.

" Well...I was not sure if you wanted to eat so... I just waited in case..." Li Xia answered.

Hearing this, Zhi Ruo's eyes softened and said, " Let's go eat then. "

Li Xia's whole face illuminated as it was extremely rare that her boss took the initiative to eat or else she would have to nag her boss for half an hour before Zhi Ruo would take a 15 minutes break to eat a cold sandwich...

Using the previous host's memories, Zhi Ruo drove to a fancy restaurant where the service and the food were good. She wouldn't necessarily qualify herself as a foodie but who says no to good food? (─‿‿─)

Arrived there, Zhi Ruo was immediately directed to the fifth floor where only a few tables were elegantly arranged, separated with Chinese folding screens. It was a floor reserved for celebrities or public figures that wanted privacy despite the already extreme privacy in the three other floors, the first one serving as the lobby.

Seeing the price of the dishes, Zhi Ruo's eyes were about to pop out of her head but she maintained her composure and ordered a few dishes for her and Li Xia, " Fortunately, I am rich in this life or my heart would be bleeding each time I want to eat here! (づ￣ ³￣)づ "

The dishes were quickly served and just as she was about to dig in, a happy voice called out to her, " Zhi Ruo? "

Zhi Ruo frustratingly put down her chopsticks and put on a polite smile while turning to the woman who was addressing her.

Sigh...can't even eat a meal peacefully after all this work... the old host must have had it very hard...

" Zhi Ruo! It's really you! My future daughter-in-law! I'm so happy to see you here! " Fang Jia li exclaimed with a very pleasing voice.

Zhi Ruo's entire body froze and her eyes seemed to flew wide open in surprise, " What? What did this lady say I was?! "

" Zhi Ruo, you should really come and visit us more often! Me and my husband miss your dearly! If only you weren't as busy...but don't worry after you get married to our son, you won't have to work as much! " Fang Jia li was smiling from ear to ear.

Realization dawned on her and Zhi Ruo felt the previously restrained panic rush to her.

She is the male lead's mom...? Wait...What?! WHAT?! Are you kidding me?!
