Han Zihao looked at the girl who was sitting on the chair opposite of him lazily. Today she was dressed in semi-formal clothes which make her look more beautiful and charming.

He cleared his throat as he remembered that it's not the time to stare at her like this.

" Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at your office right now?"

" Well," she crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, " I am here for some work and not to meet you. So, you can be at ease." She said solemnly.

"-_-"

His lips twitched seeing her acting indifferently. Since when did she become so devoted to her work? He wanted to scoff but controlled himself to hear her words first before laughing.

" Work? What work? Other than the revenue problems, nothing can be done at Han Corporations in terms of shining bright."

" That is why I came here. I need your permission for something." Xu Nuan said.

He knitted his brows and tapped his fingers on the desk and asked, " Permission? For what?"

" To start a new girl group." She said without mending her words.

" Aren't we starting a new girl group? Weren't you hired to manage the new girl group?" he asked in confusion.

" Not that. I want to start another girl group apart from that."

Han Zihao raised his brows as he couldn't understand what she was trying to say. Another girl group? However, her serious expressions were making him uncomfortable.

'Now what trouble is brewing in her mind?'

-

After Xu Nuan explained everything to him that happened at the evaluation process, Han Zihao leaned back on his chair, with eyes closed. He couldn't believe that she took trouble with the head manager and the CEO on the very first day of her work.

Even though the others weren't doing anything good either but if this was somewhere else, she would have been fired on the very first day.

Xu Nuan looked at the bowl filled with various kinds of candies and picked up some and started unwrapping them to put them in her mouth.

Han Zihao who had his eyes closed frowned hearing the noise she was creating while unwrapping the candies. He opened his eyes and commented, " Even after making such an announcement, you have the nerve to eat the candies? Can't you be a bit serious?" He commented seeing her gobbling all the candies.

"-_-"

Xu Nuan swallowed the candies in her mouth and unwrapped another chocolate candy and said, "This situation is serious indeed. So what? Should I go on a hunger strike? Or cry until my tears dry? Mr. Han, I am not the kind of person to cry when I am in problem."

" Rather than crying, finding a solution to that problem is more productive. And why are you so worried? I just came here to get your permission. It's not that I am asking you for money. Also, if I have to pay all the salary later if something goes wrong, then I should at least do what I want. How can I make profits after listening to what others say? Then why would I take responsibility if anything went wrong?" She reasoned with him which made him raise his brows in surprise.

" You don't want money? Then how are you going to launch them? Do you think you can do that for free?" He mocked.

She shook her head and said, " Don't worry. I have my ways to get money. And if I can't do anything, I can just go to Yuhan to ask for some. I am sure he won't reject me." She stated while chortling.

"-_-"

Her words made his lips twitch. " What? Yuhan? That pretty boy? And why do you think so?" He remembered that guy whom he met the other day. He was the one who was carrying Xu Nuan when she fainted at the banquet. The way he looked at him the other day made him somewhat annoyed.

However, hearing her nonchalant words, he wanted to smack her on her head.

This brat was keeping him on his toes these days. She keeps provoking him with her words.

Her lips curled up in a sly smile seeing his reaction but she didn't show it to him. " Well, today he asked me to go to his company if I can't work here. I am sure he will give me a better position in his company than you. And even if I don't go to his company, he will agree to sponsor those girls if I say so. "

" Why do you think that he would do that so? And why did you meet him today?" He scowled seeing her being so nonchalant.

" When I was on my way to the office, he spotted me at the bus stop and gave me a ride to the office. And for your other question, Hmm...I don't know. Maybe we are a family? Or because he likes me?" She looked at him meaningfully after saying her words.

"-_-"

Han Zihao scoffed and avoided her eye contact when he heard her words. This girl takes everything so casually.

How can she say that he likes her so easily?

" He likes you? Did he say that to you? And you still hang out with him?" He asked her while trying to not snap at her.

" Well, he didn't say that exactly. But you know, his eyes are very different when he looks at me. It's very... charming and warm, you know. Unlike you, he looks at me warmly which makes my heart flutter." She explained while exaggerating a bit with her gestures.

" Waah! You're so shameless. Are you even listening to your words? You know that he likes you and yet you're chasing me?" He stood up from his chair and walked towards the window. For some reason, he was feeling extremely annoyed whenever she praised that pretty boy.

She pursed her lips and tried to control her urge to laugh. It's so fun to tease him. How can he be so cute?

" Aiya, Mr. Han, you're forgetting the point here. He hasn't told me that he likes me, moreover, even if he likes me, so what? Isn't it more important that I like you? You know my feelings yet you continue to take care of me without clearing our relationship. Just imagine, how difficult it must be for me to control my urge to pounce on you?" she stood up and walked towards him.

" You live next door to me but I can't enter your house whenever I want, I can't kiss you whenever I want and…."

" And what?" He turned around when he heard her words. His earlobes turned red when she started talking about her feelings for him.

Sometimes this girl doesn't know when to stop..

Xu Nuan paused and stared at him. Her lips curled into a cunning smile, " You're right. What should be it? Huh?" She asked as she walked closer to him.

He blinked when she placed her hand on his shoulder and leaned closer to him, " Something that…couples do? Something...dirty." she whispers near his ears in a low voice.

"-_-"

His eyes widened upon hearing her meaningful words. His lips parted in shock as he was still trying to sort out his thoughts.

" Xu Nuan! Stop acting like a punk. You're so young and talking like this." After a long silence, he burst out.

Xu Nuan chuckled seeing his red face and the way he was trying to lecture her.

" From where did you learn to talk like this? Huh?"

" Mr. Han, don't act like you're my father. I am not young. Why are you acting as if I am still a minor? " She questioned.

.

Even though her body is 21 years old, her mind is mature enough to think about such stuff. She is a 25 years old virgin for god's sake. Due to her work and her crazy fans, she never got the time to think about anything else other than music and shows. Though she was in a relationship with Qin Ju all these years, she never got much time to spend with him.

Moreover, 21 is not that young either. He was treating her like a minor. The people these days go to a club and cause trouble. Even young fellows have a happening life these days but he wants her to be pure minded at the age of 21.

' This man has aged quite a lot.'

His expressions turned dark upon hearing her words. He pursed his lips and shook his head. He walked to his desk and gulped down a glass of water.

-

After calming down, Han Zihao sat on his chair and said, " If you want to launch those girls, you can do so. After all, we have signed the contract. If it works, it will help the company, and if not, you will return all the money to the company as promised. At that time, don't expect me to have mercy on you"

She swallowed her saliva and wondered if she was doing right by putting everything on the stake or not. She took a deep breath and nodded.

' Let's just take this risk, Jiang Yue. Believe in yourself. You can do this '

He was surprised by seeing her determination and confidence.

" You don't need to ask anyone to sponsor them. I will assign you some funds from the company, use them for now. However, it will be way less than what will be invested in the main group which is going to be launched. However, it's your headache about how to use them. Don't expect us to invest more in it." He said straightforwardly.

Even though she wanted to launch another girl group, it is too risky to launch two groups at the same time, from the same company. He can't give her too much free advantage otherwise, she will soon be trapped in the web of rumors and misunderstanding.

Moreover, for some reason, he felt that she could do well. She might look stupid but she is not that stupid after all.
