Goodbye My Youth, Goodbye My Love (13)

"THUD!"

A loud, thundering sound emitted from the office. Lu Jinnian’s assistant stood at the side, not daring to make a single sound. 

Lu Jinnian's chest puffed up and down. He rose from his desk and pulled open the closet to look for his cigarette box. He removed a stick before tossing the entire box into the trash bin abruptly. Taking large strides to the window, he turned his back to his assistant, staring outside silently 

After a seemingly long while, he seemed to have calmed down and turned to face his assistant. He asked, "Have you found out about the Xu Enterprise board situation? How is it going?" 

"I'm almost done with it." 

Lu Jinnian nodded 

His assistant continued, "Mr. Lu, have you really decided to do that?" 

Lu Jinnian was silent, staring out the window. 

After a long minute, he murmured a muffled "Yea", his voice faint and emotionless. "Just do as I planned."
