19 A Stubborn Woman

Her steps halted as she reached the door. Su Ruan hesitated for a brief second before she knocked on the door.

The moment she heard Gao Leng's voice, Su Ruan pushed the door and entered. The man stared at her face for a few seconds before a smile gradually appeared on his face.

His smile was lecherous and disgusting.

Looking at Gao Leng's face made her want to lurch forward and scratch his face. However, she took a deep breath to calm down.

"Su Ruan." Gao Leng leaned over and chuckled. "I heard that you were uncooperative. I already let Yan Xi interview, President Long. As her colleague, how can you not help her and pass over the materials that you have gathered?"

His words only added oil into the fire. Su Raun's anger reached another point as she faced this man.

"Then, what should I do? The moment you said that Yan Xi will handle the interview, I have thought that she would do her homework and had her materials ready. After all, you always complimented Yan Xi as someone very capable. Why would she need the materials I gathered?"

Gao Leng let heaved a sigh. "Alright. I know you're angry. But Su Ruan, I have already assigned Yan Xi to do this interview. How about this? I'll compensate you with something else. All you need to do is to hand over the materials."

Slowly, the corner of her lips stretched up into a mocking smile. "That's too bad, Director Gao. Just as I have told Yan Xi, I have deleted those materials from my computer and formatted my pen drive the moment you let Yan Xi take over the task."

Gao Leng narrowed his eyes and shot her a dangerous look. "I don't believe that you did not keep the materials somewhere else."

Su Ruan pursed her lips into a thin line. It took her a few seconds before she spoke again. "Director Gao is not wrong. I do keep the materials somewhere else."

His expression changed. It could be seen that Gao Leng was delighted upon hearing Su Ruan's words. Even though he could sense that there was something wrong with Su Ruan's attitude, Gao Leng did not ponder about it for too long.

The most important thing at this moment was the information that Su Ruan had gathered.

"Then, quickly and hand it over to me. Don't delay time. Let Yan Xi prepare before the interview tomorrow. When this issue is sold well, naturally, everyone would get their bonus."

Bonus?

At this time, Su Ruan did not care much about money.

When she thought about Yan Xi, gloating to everyone that she was the reason that their magazine was sold well because of her, Su Ruan felt as if she wanted to vomit.

Again and again, Yan Xi had taken the credits of someone else's works due to Gao Leng's favoritism. Everyone in the department was merely Yan Xi's underlings who were tasked to collect materials for her to write good articles.

This time, Su Ruan could no longer be patient.

"All the materials I gathered are stored here." Su Ruan pointed at her head. "Director Gao, if you wanted it, you can only let someone drill my head."

Su Ruan has been preparing for this interview for a long time.

She had suspected that something like this would happen and had memorized everything she could about Long Fei. The information that Yan Xi wanted so much was stored in her head.

If the company still thinks that this interview is important, then they should know what to do.

Gao Leng's face turned red with anger. However, he realized that there was nothing he could do. He could not possibly let someone drill Su Ruan's head, could he?

From the very beginning, Gao Leng had always known that Su Ruan was a stubborn woman.

When Yan Xi came to complain to him about Su Ruan's uncooperativeness, Gao Leng had long prepared that it would be difficult to get what Yan Xi wanted. However, he did not think that this time, Su Ruan would be very unreasonable.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Leng finally calmed down. He moved his shoulder to relax his tensed muscle and smiled.

Su Ruan narrowed her eyes when she saw that disgusting smile again.

"Actually... It is not impossible if you want this assignment," Gao Leng said. "Su Ruan, you should know that I look up to you more than Yan Xi. You are a capable woman."

Her heart pounded wildly. Su Ruan felt a little uneasy with Gao Leng's speech.

"Just tell me what you want." Su Ruan gritted her teeth.

Gao Leng leaned on his swiveling chair. After a while, he stood up and walked over to Su Ruan with the same lecherous smile on his face. Heat build up in his body as he raked his eyes all over her curves. As he got closer to Su Ruan, Gao Leng could smell her sweet womanly scent on her. He grew excited.

Su Ruan took a step back as the man approached her. Her body was warning her that this man had a bad intention. However, this was the office. They were still at the company. Gao Leng would not dare to do anything to her, right?

After a while, Gao Leng looked up again to meet her gaze. "I can return this interview to you and promise that Yan Xi would not make trouble with you. But of course, nothing in this world is free. I have only one condition."

"What?"

"Sleep with me."

His voice was a whisper, but Su Ruan could hear him loud and clear.

Her eyes widened as the words echoed in her head.

Gao Leng seemed to enjoy the look on Su Ruan's face. Seeing her dumbfounded face, Gao Leng took this advantage to lean over and spoke, "If you sleep with me, then I will give everything to you. Su Ruan, what do you say? Hmm?" His hand stretched up to touch her arms.

His move snapped her out of her trance. Su Ruan stepped back and glared at Gao Leng. Then, a loud sound reverberated in the room.

SMACK!

Gao Leng poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue. The taste of blood in his mouth made him unhappy.
