Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 312: It’s better not to see each other again?

Guan Lili thought that her life would be peaceful after wearing the ring. After all, she was used to this kind of peaceful "adventure". But she didn't expect that the ring was a "trouble summoner", which not only made her see through some superficial phenomena, but also involved her in an unexpected storm.

As soon as she arrived at the company in the morning, Lily noticed that her colleagues were looking at her strangely, and some were even talking about her. She sat down at her seat with a puzzled look on her face, and Xiao Zhao immediately came over and said mysteriously, "Lily, did you know that you had dinner with Mr. Zhou last night?!"

"What?!" Lily almost spit out her coffee. "Don't talk nonsense. I was watching TV at home last night. When did I have dinner with him?"

Xiao Zhao spread his hands innocently: "But everyone said they saw it. Mr. Zhou went to pick you up in person and even brought flowers. Are you two having an underground relationship?"

"What underground?! Don't talk nonsense!" Lily waved her hands in pain, wondering how this was possible. She was clearly busy studying the mysterious ring yesterday and also received a threatening text message. How could there be a romantic date?

But having said that, a thought suddenly occurred to Lily: Could it be that someone deliberately pretended to be her? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder. Just as she was trying to sort out her thoughts, her boss called her to the office again.

"Lily, I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Zhou?" The boss smiled ambiguously, as if hinting at something.

"A good relationship?" Lily rolled her eyes in her heart. Wasn't this rumor spreading too fast? She quickly explained: "No, Mr. Zhou and I are just ordinary colleagues."

The boss nodded and suddenly changed the subject: "That's good, but Mr. Zhou invited several of our senior executives to discuss new projects this afternoon, so you can come too."

Lily secretly felt bad, but she could only nod and agree in front of her boss.

The afternoon meeting was very formal, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Mr. Zhou smiled as usual, but his eyes kept glancing at Lily, as if observing every detail of her. Lily's inner alarm bells were ringing, fearing that she would be exposed.

During the discussion, Mr. Zhou suddenly said, "Ms. Guan, I would like to hear your opinion on this project expansion." His words seemed ordinary, but Lily immediately realized that he was testing her.

"Well, I think we can consider doing more market research and developing more targeted strategies based on user needs." Lily deliberately responded with a "professional attitude", but in her heart she was already thinking about how to get out of this "Asura field" unscathed.

"Ms. Guan's point of view is very unique." Mr. Zhou smiled and nodded, then changed to a relaxed tone, "However, what did you think of last night's dinner?"

Lily was confused. Wasn't the topic changed too quickly? She quickly regained her composure: "Oh, I think you misunderstood. I was busy working overtime at home last night and didn't go out."

Mr. Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not completely convinced by her answer. Lily secretly groaned in her heart, knowing that her situation was becoming more complicated. Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the door of the conference room, and a new figure wearing a pink suit and sunglasses swaggered in.

"Sorry, everyone, I'm late." The newcomer took off his sunglasses as he entered the room, revealing an overly delicate face. He looked to be in his early twenties, with an inexplicable confidence and mysterious aura. He strode to the conference table and said directly to Mr. Zhou: "I have heard of you for a long time, Mr. Zhou, but you have to be careful about this project."

Everyone was stunned, and the scene was terribly cold. Mr. Zhou's eyes turned cold: "Who are you?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is He Shaoyan. I have just been transferred here from the headquarters to be responsible for the legal review of this cooperation." He Shaoyan spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Lily thought to herself, this guy came too suddenly, didn't he? But judging from his posture, he didn't seem to be afraid of Mr. Zhou.

The following meeting became particularly "lively". He Shaoyan interrupted from time to time, using various legal terms to disrupt Mr. Zhou's plan, making Mr. Zhou look even uglier. Lily watched the show from the side and felt that this newcomer He Shaoyan was really a character who did not play by the rules.

After the meeting, He Shaoyan actually took the initiative to approach Lily and said with a smile: "Miss Guan, you performed well today."

"How do you know my name?" Lily asked warily.

"Your information is on the company list, so of course I'll familiarize myself with it." He shrugged, as if it was a matter of course.

Lily felt helpless, but couldn't say anything. This guy seemed to be a difficult person, so she'd better stay away from him.

But what Lily didn't expect was that after get off work that night, He Shaoyan was actually waiting for her downstairs in the company.

"Ms. Guan, are you free to chat?" He Shaoyan smiled brightly, but Lily always felt that there was some conspiracy behind it.

In desperation, Lily had to go to a nearby cafe with him. As soon as they sat down, He Shaoyan said bluntly: "I know you've been in trouble recently."

Lily was shocked, but she remained calm: "What do you mean?"

"You should have noticed that Mr. Zhou is not an ordinary person, right? Don't say you didn't notice his abnormality." He Shaoyan looked serious.

Lily couldn't help but start to wonder if this man was a friend or an enemy, after all, he seemed to know too much.

"Who are you? Why are you so interested in me?" Lily decided to get straight to the point and see what this person was up to.

"As for me, I was sent by the headquarters to keep an eye on Mr. Zhou. I heard that you were also involved, so I have to remind you to be careful." He Shaoyan showed a playful smile, "Also, the 'you' last night was not you."

Lily was stunned, and finally determined that she was indeed disguised! But the question was, who was that person?

This conversation made Lily have more and more questions. She felt like she was involved in a complicated chess game, and she didn't even understand the boundaries of the chessboard.

As the night deepened, Lily's uneasiness grew. She knew that the real storm was still brewing, and she had only seen the tip of the iceberg.
