A ray of sunshine shone on Liu Ruyan's face as she lazily opened her eyes.
However, lying in front of her was a strange man.
A scream erupted from the room.
"Who, who are you?" Liu Ruyan pulled the sheet over to cover her body.
Lin Chen stretched and said, "Last night you drank too much at the bar, and then some punks were harassing you. I saved you. I intended to take you home, but I didn't know where you lived, so I just found a nearby hotel."
Liu Ruyan glared at Lin Chen with a furious face, clearly waiting for him to get to the point.
"Then you vomited all over yourself, and I helped you clean up. Unexpectedly, you, you pulled me onto the bed and did this to me."
As he spoke, Lin Chen even seemed a bit agitated and yanked the sheet back.
"I kindly saved you, and you ended up forcing yourself on me!" Lin Chen said, his face displaying a wronged expression.
"What? I forced myself on you," Liu Ruyan suddenly got so angry that she pounced on Lin Chen.
"You jerk, you took advantage of me and now claim that I forced myself on you?"
Thick hatred flashed across Liu Ruyan's pretty face, her nails scratching as she lunged, which scared Lin Chen into hurriedly rolling off the bed. The thought of his face getting scratched up was terrifying.
"Beauty, you can't play . You can see on my body, these are all the proofs of your assault. Look at my shirt and underwear; you tore them to shreds."
"You!" Looking at Lin Chen's shredded clothes, Liu Ruyan suddenly froze, and the events of the previous night flashed through her mind like a movie.
Liu Ruyan bit her teeth and finally said hatefully, "Leave, I don't want to see you again."
Lin Chen was about to say something but then suddenly noticed the red plum blossom on the bed.
Silenced by the sight, Lin Chen realized it was the girl's first night, no wonder she was so furious.
Without further argument, Lin Chen got dressed and left.
Watching Lin Chen leave, Liu Ruyan immediately broke down and cried on the bed.
Yesterday, she received the terrible news that her mentor had died, and they hadn't even found his remains.
In her heart, her mentor was like her father. Heartbroken, she had intended to drown her sorrows in alcohol. She never expected to wake up having lost her virginity.
"Forget it, giving it to that boy is better than to those thugs." Liu Ruyan dried her tears, went to the bathroom, and started to wash up and put on makeup.
Today she had an important job interview to attend. Since an incident a few years ago, she had led a secluded life, and now her savings were almost spent. She must find a new job and start a fresh life.
After applying makeup, a beautiful and lively girl appeared in the mirror once again.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Ruyan opened her wallet and was instantly dumbfounded.
Her only savings, the two thousand yuan meant for rent, had vanished.
"That bastard, not only did he sleep with me, but he also took my money," Liu Ruyan angrily stomped her foot, wishing she could tear Lin Chen to pieces.
The job interview now became a must-pass. Otherwise, she would face a situation with no food to eat and no place to live.
Leaving the hotel, Liu Ruyan rushed to the company where the interview was scheduled.
By this time, Lin Chen had already arrived at the company. As he reached the building, he heard a few security guards whispering.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
Seeing Lin Chen, the skinny security guards immediately lit up and rushed over, "Minister Lin, you're finally here. There's a big crisis at our company."
"What happened?" Lin Chen asked, his gaze intensifying and quickly.
The skinny guard said, "I heard that Old Master Xia of the Xia family has died, and his two daughters have gone missing. The Xia family's assets were acquired by a mysterious group, so our collaboration with the Xia family has also been terminated."
Lin Chen frowned, "Who acquired the Xia company's assets?"
The skinny guard shook his head, "I'm not sure but it's a company from the Island Nation. What's crucial is this company is on good terms with Curry. That guy came early this morning to negotiate with the president. I heard they want her to be his girlfriend as a condition; otherwise, they will force our company to close down."
"What?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.
This guy actually dared to steal his woman, something completely intolerable.
Lin Chen rushed hurriedly to the president's office.
Just as he arrived at the office door, he heard a brash voice inside.
"Sophina, now the Eastern Sun Group has given us the agency rights in T-country. Whether or not the project cooperates depends merely on my word. You should know what losing this project means."
With fury in her eyes, Sophina knew the project in collaboration with the Xia family was a major focus of Sophina Group's recent operations, involving substantial human and material resources. She did not expect such a disaster to occur.
"Curry, even though the Xia family is gone, I believe we will win this bid on our own merit. Therefore, I will not agree to be your girlfriend," Sophina said coldly.
"Sophina, don't be so naive, okay? You should know the so-called bidding is just a formality. We decide who gets the project. As long as I persuade my father to speak well of us in front of Miss Oda, then this project will definitely remain with Sophina Group. However, if you refuse, no matter how strong your capabilities are, don't dream about getting this project."
Upon hearing Curry's words, Sophina's face turned pale. Losing this project could deal a severe blow to Sophina Group, and it might even never recover from it.
Just then, the office door was kicked open with a bang, and Lin Chen strode in furiously.
Curry, who was feeling smug, saw Lin Chen and his expression shifted slightly.
"Lin Chen, what are you doing?" Recalling his last miserable experience, Curry couldn't help but step back.
Lin Chen snorted coldly, "Damn it, daring to steal my woman. It seems you haven't learned your lesson from last time!"
As he spoke, Lin Chen grabbed Curry by the collar and lifted him up.
"Lin Chen, stop it!" Sophina's expression changed.
But before Sophina could finish her sentence, Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Honey, don't worry, I'll get rid of this pest for you."
Saying this, Lin Chen dragged Curry out.
"Lin Chen, we are now collaborating with the Eastern Sun Group. Think about the consequences if you touch me," Curry said.
"Consequences? Right now, I just want you to understand what the consequences are when someone touches my woman." As he finished speaking, Lin Chen's slaps landed back and forth on Curry's face.
Sophina watched the scene, her brows furrowing slightly. However, she knew it was too late to intervene.
Is it really fate wanting to destroy our Sophina Group?
Watching Curry, who had been beaten to a pulp by Lin Chen, Sophina sighed coldly.
