The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 965 - 47: The Push-Pull Strategy

When Li Siru arrived at the YT Hotel, the manager said President Lu wanted her to go to the office.

She stood there torn for a long time before she composed herself, knocked on the door, and walked in.

Lu Beiyao was sitting at the desk, his head down, carefully going through the documents in his hand. A few strands of hair covered his forehead, obscuring his expression. He was wearing a white shirt, sleeves half-rolled up to the forearms, looking neat and handsome.

Li Siru swallowed, slowly sat down, and her hands clenched together out of nervousness. "President Lu, why did you want to see me?"

She feigned calmness, addressing him as President Lu, as was appropriate for an employee.

Finally, Lu Beiyao looked up at her, seemingly contemplating something but saying nothing.

Li Siru grew increasingly nervous. Just as she closed her eyes and was about to speak, Lu Beiyao said, "Your car has been repaired and brought over. It’s now in the underground parking lot. Here are the keys."

He pulled out the car keys and placed them on the table. Li Siru took a deep breath and went over to take them, but as she reached out, he suddenly held her hand down. Li Siru quickly retracted her hand; Lu Beiyao stood up, grabbing her shoulders, "About what happened yesterday, I apologize."

Apologize?!

Li Siru was momentarily stunned and stopped struggling.

"I was indeed too presumptuous. We’ve only known each other for a few days, yet I was so eager... Did I scare you?" Lu Beiyao stood in front of her, backlit, completely blocking her just like when she first saw him in the sunset.

To her, he seemed so tall, and just standing in front of her, he could completely envelop her!

Was he too presumptuous? So... what does that mean?

"Now that your car is fixed, I don’t have to worry about you having trouble driving back at night. You don’t need to resign either. There are many employees at YT Hotel; I can’t interfere with you there."

As Lu Beiyao spoke slowly, Li Siru’s heart sank bit by bit. Her hand, grabbed by him, which was so warm before, slowly grew numb, until it was cold.

It took her a long while to finally respond, "I understand!" She forced a smile, "I wasn’t planning on resigning! I finally have a decent job, how could I give up before I even start doing well?"

She withdrew at the right time, took a step back, and bowed to him, "Thank you, President Lu. I’ll get back to work now!"

She quickly turned around, closed the door, and left.

Lu Beiyao stood still, frowning slightly. What kind of reaction was that?

Was she happy or disappointed?

Didn’t seem clear at all, what to do?

Lu Beiyao sat down, taking out the "Love Strategy" from the drawer, and almost wanted to throw it away, but finally held back and opened the book.

"The Tactic of Feigned Retreat," the first move, stay cool, endure!

Now that it’s already cool, it’s time to endure!

Does this book even work at all?! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Why is a man his age doing this?!

Lu Beiyao sat back down very frustrated, crumpling the discarded documents on the table into a ball and throwing it into the garbage can.

The elevator opened for the third time before Li Siru came back to her senses, got in, and pressed a button to go down one floor.

She looked down at the keys in her hand, relieved that she didn’t really have to see Lu Beiyao again, and could work properly. It was such a joy.

But, why couldn’t she feel happy?

She glanced at herself in the elevator’s mirrored surface. With a troubled expression, she looked too defeated. Li Siru patted her face and exhaled!

From now on, Li Siru, work hard and don’t overthink!
