Walking Solo Network Development Company is a relatively large enterprise based in Beijing, primarily engaged in online game development. Naturally, its position as an industry leader would not have been possible without Liu Hua’s leadership…
Even Xiao Yufan couldn’t deny that Liu Hua possessed strength and charm that many other women lacked. She single-handedly shouldered the heavy burden of the entire Liu family, and the efforts she had made were beyond what most people could imagine.
Yet, Walking Solo was now facing an unprecedented crisis. Within just a single day, 50% of its external funding had been withdrawn, and several partners had chosen to terminate their cooperative relationships with the company…
“President, the company’s liquid funds have suffered significant losses, and with the terminated contracts, a large portion of our revenue has been cut off. I’m afraid the current situation is quite grim.”
Listening to the man’s report, Liu Hua furrowed her brows tightly. She didn’t even need to think to know who was behind this…
“Recall all the outflowing funds, cancel all advertising and promotional expenses, and halt all order processes. We must plug the financial gap with our utmost effort!”
After a moment’s hesitation, Liu Hua quickly issued orders. Although this could only address the immediate crisis, it was currently the only feasible solution.
“This will certainly ease the company’s passive situation temporarily, but it’s not a long-term strategy. Walking Solo has come this far step by step, and you, President, have poured in so much effort!”
Pushing his gold-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose, the man looked at Liu Hua with a gaze filled with fervor. In his eyes, she was dazzlingly radiant, but he knew that a woman like her was far beyond his reach. Quietly standing by her side was perhaps the best he could hope for…
“Do you have a better idea? Although the Cheng family’s influence doesn’t extend to Beijing, Cheng Jingran still managed to sway the Capital Club!”
Her voice sounded extremely weary. She was truly exhausted. After all, she was still a woman—she couldn’t be invulnerable all the time. How she longed for a place to rest her weary heart…
“If possible, my father’s company could provide some…”
“You should know that I won’t rely on anyone. I don’t want others to think I’m just a useless ornament. I appreciate your kind intentions!”
Before the man could finish speaking, Liu Hua already knew what he was going to suggest. She understood his feelings, but emotions couldn’t be forced. Moreover, she was in no position to offer anything in return, and she didn’t want to give him any false hope.
“I was just suggesting it offhandedly. I believe the company will overcome this crisis. Remember when Walking Solo was first founded—no one could have imagined its current glory. No matter what, in everyone’s eyes, you, President, are the winner!”
Rubbing his nose bridge, the man said no more. After several years of working together, he understood Liu Hua better than anyone else. Once she made a decision, she never changed her mind, and he didn’t consider himself capable enough…
“A winner? Even if I succeed, what difference does it make? To some people, I’m still just a woman, inferior to those with prestigious backgrounds. If possible, I’d rather live a simple, ordinary life!”
Her eyes glistened faintly with tears, and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of her lips. She didn’t crave admiration or flattery from others. All she desired was a peaceful, uneventful life—but even such a simple wish seemed unattainable.
“When you meet the one who truly wants to cherish you for a lifetime, maybe you won’t have to suffer so much anymore. I believe heaven won’t bear to see you walk this path alone forever…”
Perhaps he was a failure in love, but he could still remain a friend close to Liu Hua’s heart. If he couldn’t possess her, then seeing her happy was enough.
“I hope so too. Thank you. Now, please go ahead and handle the matters I mentioned earlier. We’ll take it one step at a time…”
Liu Hua’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her gaze. Unexpectedly, her thoughts drifted to Xiao Yufan—the man she had come to loathe. Would he actually appear now?
The man nodded slightly and left. The large office was now empty except for Liu Hua alone, and a melancholic atmosphere slowly filled the space. After all this time, she was finally tired…
“What a touching bond between employee and president. I must say, our Miss Liu is truly enchanting. I almost feel a bit reluctant to do this!”
Shortly after the man left, a voice abruptly echoed into the room. Liu Hua furrowed her brows, her expression revealing deep disgust.
“This is a private space. I don’t welcome your presence here. Please leave immediately…”
Looking up to meet the man’s devilish profile, Liu Hua’s eyes burned with anger. How shameless this man was, daring to show up at a time like this! If it weren’t for the fear that he might act recklessly, she would have already called security to drag him out.
“Oh my, our beauty is angry. Are you feeling helpless? Why hasn’t your pretty boy come to rescue the company? You’ll always belong to me, Cheng Jingran. Every woman I claim is never beyond my grasp—including you…”
The one who had appeared in the office was none other than Cheng Jingran, who had been waiting outside. Looking at Liu Hua’s delicate, fair face, a lewd smile curled his lips. A woman like her deserved to be played with. The Liu family had dared to mock the Cheng family, so how could he not seek some retribution?
“Don’t be so silent. You weren’t like this at the financial summit, were you? Perhaps you need a real man to discipline you. I’d be more than happy to take on that role…”
Seeing Liu Hua’s face darken with anger, Cheng Jingran showed no intention of letting her off easily. His words were extremely disrespectful. In his eyes, Liu Hua was now like a fish out of water, completely at his mercy.
“The Liu and Cheng families have no connection anymore. The previous agreement is null and void. I have nothing to do with you, Cheng Jingran. Please show some respect, or I will call security…”
“Calling security won’t help, not even if you called the heavens themselves. Don’t you want the Liu family to regain its former glory? Don’t you want Walking Solo to rise from the ashes? If you agree to be my woman, I can make all of this happen for you!”
Cheng Jingran took a step closer to Liu Hua, his smile sending a chill down her spine. To her, this man was like a demon. Her lips trembled slightly…
“I will achieve all of this through my own strength. As for you, you’ll never have me. A man who only knows how to scheme against women is worse than a scoundrel!”
Liu Hua’s voice was firm and unwavering. She met Cheng Jingran’s gaze without flinching. After her words, Cheng Jingran’s eyes turned completely cold…
