In Noah's office…

"If you need something, you can inform the receptionists outside," Xiao Min informed as they entered the office, "I hope you would be comfortable here."

Noah was not surprised to get good treatment. He looked around the office and could see everything was so luxurious and well planned. Though he would have gotten all the facilities and comfort in any company he had gone to, thanks to his qualifications, he felt he was getting extra care here.

"Is it because I am Lu Lijun's friend that I am eligible for such good treatment?" Noah asked.

"That's just an extra plus point. It's all because of what you deserve to get," Xiao Min replied.

"I would be happy if it's only based on my talent alone," Noah countered as he never liked to get the advantage of his friendship with his wealthy friend.

Xiao Min could see the person full of pride in front of him and spoke, "You should think it that way only and should not doubt yourself. The most important thing that we need here is loyalty, and I am sure you know what I mean next."

"Planning to prepare me to be with Lu Lijun always," Noah got it right.

Xiao Min had no doubt Noah is one smart man, and he felt his boss's decision to hire Noah was the right one.

"Wouldn't you like to work here and with your friend?" Xiao Min asked.

"I would, but I can't guarantee forever. I would be with him until he gets what he should and be happy," Noah countered.

One could see how much Noah cared for his friend.

"Glad to know it."

Xiao Min had no complaint as he knew how much these friends cared for each other, and having one by the side would help Lu Lijun a lot, especially when that friend was smart, understanding, and matured enough to understand the things.

Xiao Min and Noah talked about his work and responsibilities. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Yu Fan entered the office.

"Mr. Noah, these are the keys to your car and apartment," She kept the black box in her hand on the table.

"Thank you," Noah replied, and Yu Fan left.

"If you need anything, you can ask me too."

Instructing, Xiao Min left, and Noah sat in his chair behind the work table as he picked up the file on the table and turned on the laptop.

---------

Xiao Min was on leave, but as he was in the office and he was worried about his boss, he preferred to cancel his leave for a day.

Knocking on the door, he entered the president's office, only to get one surprise.

The man was sitting in the chair in front of Jiang Yuyan, and Xiao Min could guess from the back view who the person was.

Jiang Yuyan looked at Xiao Min, and then talked to the man, "My assistant is in the office today, so I would like Mr. Shen Li to discuss it with him."

The man was silent as he sensed Xiao Min was there when he thought he must be on leave. He could do nothing but nod to what President Lu said.

Jiang Yuyan looked at Xiao Min, who was in a surprising mode. As he was on leave, he didn't know Shen Li would come to the office that day.

"Xiao Min, I hope you are not planning to resume your leave," Jiang Yuyan asked, though she knew what he must have already decided.

"I will be in office today," Xiao Min confirmed.

"Mr. Shen Li, you can proceed with my assistant," Jiang Yuyan instructed.

Shen Li stood up and bowed to Jiang Yuyan as he turned to look at Xiao Min while Jiang Yuyan resumed her work.

Lu Corporation and Xi Businesses were working on few projects together in peace, unlike before, so visiting Lu Corporation was not a new thing for Shen Li as he was in charge of so many things in his company, handling the responsibilities of his ex-boss and childhood friend, Xi Cheng.

Xiao Min turned and led Shen Li's way to his office, and Shen Li followed him. Entering the office, Xiao Min sat in his chair and instructed, "Have a seat, Mr. Shen Li."

Shen Li was surprised as Xiao Min always called him senior whenever they were alone and addressed him like this only when they were with others during work.

Shen Li sat in the chair and looked at Xiao Min, who was busy going through his laptop and didn't spare another glance at him. He looked different from how he used to be with Shen Li, making him wondered if Xiao Min was fine.

Before Shen Li could ask anything, Xiao Min spoke as he picked up one file, marked something on the pages inside it, and passed it to Shen Li.

"This is what we have prepared. If your side wishes to make any changes, let me know. We will try what could be possible."

Shen Li held the file as his sight met with Xiao Min. Xiao looked cold as if he was talking to only the business acquaintances. Shen Li could sense something was not right but didn't wish to bring it up as he was there for work, and Xiao Min didn't look like in a mood to talk about anything other than the work.

Shen Li went through the file and finished it. He looked at Xiao Min, who was busy working on his laptop.

"Everything seems fine, but I need to discuss it with Mrs. Song. I will make sure to finalize it as soon as possible."

"Hmm, will do," Xiao Min replied, still busy in his work.

Shen Li stood up, "I will take a leave then."

Xiao Min stood up to shake hands with him, "See you."

Shen Li left, and Xiao Min sat back. The cold stance he maintained till now disappeared the next moment, and he leaned back in his chair as he closed his eyes.

'How can he give up on me so easily just listening to someone? That means he doesn't need me. I should let him go now. No need to hold on to him... I can do it… I can do it…' He kept repeating it in his mind again and again.
