He knew that everything was going smoothly at the moment. It was only because of his influence in Federal City that the early application for the listing was especially smooth. The challenge that he really needed to overcome had yet to come.

Once the application plan reached the last step, the hidden mastermind would gradually surface. The Yang family would definitely not sit back and watch him successfully go public.

Suddenly, the door to Zhou Xuan’s office was pushed open. However, he was not affected by the sudden change. There was not even the slightest change on his face. Instead, he continued to wave his slender fingers and keep typing on the keyboard.

Finally, Zhou Xuan raised his sharp eyes slightly and stared at the person at the door. To his surprise, the person who did this was He Sheng.

“What’s wrong with you today? What happened to make you so anxious? Only when you first followed me did you enter without knocking. After so many years, you’ve never been so impatient.”

Although Zhou Xuan was talking to He Sheng, his gaze returned to the computer. “I should have told you more than once that even if you encounter something huge, you have to maintain a calm att.i.tude. Once your heart is in a mess, it’s really over.”

Although He Sheng was extremely anxious, he was in the wrong after all. Furthermore, he had to accept Zhou Xuan’s words. After closing the door, He Sheng composed himself before reaching out to knock on the office door.

“Enter.” Zhou Xuan responded from inside the house. “That’s right. A true expert won’t let external factors interfere with his heart. Only those with no distractions can achieve great things.”

“President Zhou, there’s a reason why I did that just now.” He Sheng had already restrained his emotions very much, but there were still small changes on his face. “Something big has really happened. You have to be mentally prepared.”

At this point, Zhou Xuan still looked calm and did not stop working. “Did the company encounter any difficulties overseas? Or did the negotiations for this project that we’re in contact with recently collapse?”

“None of that.”

There was a hint of confusion in Zhou Xuan’s words. “If this isn’t even a big deal, what else is?”

“Someone sent a bouquet of flowers to Miss Shan Yue. I followed the source of the flower shop and realized that it was sent in Yang Shuo’s name.” He Sheng’s lips trembled slightly. “It’s said that there’s a greeting card attached to the flower. It says: For the eternally young Miss Shan Yue.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Xuan’s face darkened. He frowned, and his long eyes were as cold as ice, filling the entire office with coldness and an invisible pressure.

Zhou Xuan, who had always been known for his calmness, could not suppress his surging emotions. His slender fingers stopped typing on the keyboard and slowly stood up from the stool.

“Are you telling the truth or not?” Zhou Xuan’s voice was filled with disbelief. “Are you sure it was sent under Yang Shuo’s name?”

“It’s absolutely true. That’s why I was so anxious to say that something big was about to happen.”

At this moment, Zhou Xuan felt an unprecedented sense of threat. It was as if Shan Yue would be s.n.a.t.c.hed away if he was not careful. It was because of his hesitation that he delayed and did not express his feelings to Shan Yue for a long time.

Now, before he could settle the matter at hand, Yang Shuo had joined in. He had another compet.i.tor.

The entire matter was gradually developing in a direction that was not beneficial to him. However, this also made Zhou Xuan understand that he had to start taking the initiative to attack like Yang Shuo.

If he continued to sit around and wait for death, he would lose Shan Yue sooner or later.

With Shan Yue’s personality, she might not accept Yang Shuo’s feelings. However, Zhou Xuan was not a worm in Shan Yue’s stomach, so he could not take the risk.

Love itself was very strange. No one would always wait for anyone. There was no place in the world to buy medicine for regret. Once you missed it, you would never have another chance.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
