The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 211 - Don't Reject Me So Quickly 4

In the General Manager’s office of Chu International Company, the vast floor-to-ceiling windows revealed the brightly lit nightscape of C City. The quiet office was shrouded in darkness, the scent of night heavy in the air.

Chu Shixiu sat at his desk, slightly lowering his head as he stared at the disconnected call on his phone, his silhouette sharp as a silhouette.

A chance meeting, a phone call…

Together, they had exchanged only a few words.

Each time, it was as fleeting as the blink of an eye.

Every time, he had so much he wanted to ask her, but he never had the chance before she hurriedly disappeared.

He wanted to ask if she was doing well; he wanted to ask how she managed after the Gu family incident; he wanted to ask if she needed his help…

She had always been a princess, cherished and protected, and he worried she couldn’t bear the blow of losing her family.

Over these nine years, he had countless nightmares, always dreaming of her alone, clutching a doll and crying in a corner. He wanted to reach out and hold her hand…

But the path in his dreams was always so long, so long that he could never reach her…

When he finally struggled to her side, the dream would end.

Upon waking, he was always alone, with no little girl in a princess dress standing before him, smiling and saying, “Ah Xiu, I found you again.”

“Knock, knock.”

The door to the General Manager’s office was knocked.

“Come in.” His thoughts interrupted, Chu Shixiu tiredly rubbed his temples and spoke.

The secretary pushed the door open, turning on the lights as she entered. The vast office was immediately illuminated, “Why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

Chu Shixiu didn’t answer, merely gazing at the phone in his hand.

Though Chu Shixiu was gentle with others, he often preferred solitude, ignoring anyone who spoke, almost like he had autism.

As his secretary, she naturally understood this, so she didn’t press further. She placed the documents she was holding on the desk and reported, “We just stabilized Chu’s stock price at thirty-seven. The trader said there’s an expert secretly suppressing Chu’s stock price.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Shixiu looked up, picking up the documents and examining the cold strings of data.

There was no need to think much; Chu Shixiu understood it was the work of E.S in the shadows.

Li Juefeng.

The media called him the most mysterious CEO of E.S, now targeting Chu…

“General Manager, the stock price is temporarily stable. You should go home and rest. Staying overnight in the office will wear you down,” the secretary couldn’t help but say, seeing Chu Shixiu’s furrowed brow.

Suddenly, Chopin’s piano music began to play from the phone.
