CHAPTER 10: L&B INVESTMENT HOLDINGS

The next few days was uneventful for Ru Lan because she didn't really have anything to do, all she did was sleep, engage in a movie marathon to make up for all the episodes she had missed from her TV series, and more sleep. She went to the gym and the gun range to polish her skills; even though she was not a part of that world anymore, she enjoyed been fit and having fun. She made her mental note to contact racing partner/friend once she went back to her apartment later that day, her Uncle K's wedding was in two weeks and she had not finished the final touches on her big sis shu's wedding dress but she was itching for some action. She knew Li Jaesun was going to check up on her and she was expecting him to but she had not received a call from Jason yet and she didn't even collect his contact information. So she decided to head to her company L&B investment holdings.

L&B investment holding was a multimillion dollar investment company in city E, no one actually knows who their CEO really is, but what makes them stand out is that, they are one of the few companies that are private limited in the country. Ru lan invested in this company and later bought it with the money her father left for her.

Ru Lan entered the building and headed straight to the private elevator that led to the top floor where the Vice president and CEO's office is, she didn't need to show her pass because the receptionist and some employees knows her as the best friend of their vice president and his girlfriend's sister so most of them were nice to her, some were jealous of her closeness to the Vice president though. She waved at the receptionist and entered the elevator amidst all the jealous looks some people were giving her, but who was Ru Lan, she has a carefree attitude and loved attention, she is never one to be bullied by anyone. As the elevator reached the top floor she strolled into the VPs office like the badass that she is, she opened the door without knocking and said hey! Han i'm hungry give me food.

Ke Bohan is a force to be reckoned with in the business world and the Vice president of L&B investments, other business men fear him and dreads scheming against him, he is fair to his workers and those who are loyal to him but is emotionless and ruthless in the eyes of outsiders, but only Ru Lan can treat him like her playmate. They grew up together abroad when her father was still alive and went to school together and they have been close ever since. He raised his head to look at the girl who had just entered his office and smiled. Well if it isn't our great CEO who is capable of turning an investment company into her personal kitchen, he said and walked up to hug her. Ke Bohan she screamed, seriously! I'm really hungry, its already 11am and i haven't had anything to eat.

Really Lannie, you haven't eaten anything? He asked, he knew better than anyone how much of a foodie Ru Lan is. Okay! I did eat something but it was just tea and French toast plus i didn't even use the elevator, i ran up here from the first floor so now i'm hungry.

Ke Bohan was shocked, you ran? Why would you run? Seriously they label you as a genius but sometimes i think you are the most stupid and dense person i know, there are elevators down there which normal people use to come up but you decided to run? Whatever i don't care about you anymore, do as you wish.

She started pouting, Han, have you forgotten that i have a weak stomach? She asked him

Look here miss Ru Lan, you bought a restaurant and hired Michelin chefs because you always want to eat anything you want whenever you feel like it, and you make millions from that restaurant, i'm here doing your work and my work for you and you still want to turn me into a chef? No way, go downstairs and eat or get my secretary to buy you food, i'm not cooking. Ke Bohan said with utmost seriousness

She got up and hugged his arm, Bohan, if you don't help me, i don't know what I'll do, i really want to eat food made by you but if you really don't want to, it's okay i can just call lei to tell her i'm craving for noodles made by her, who knows if she can come and make it for me, i'm sure she'll feel bad if she can't especially now that she has to do her best to earn her new boss's respect, I'll just call her, as she said this she whipped out her phone from her pocket in an attempt to call Ru Lei but it was quickly snatched by Ke Bohan.

Fine you win, only the CEO of L&B can turn her VP to a personal chef during work hours. I bow to your shamelessness Lan, you really are a rare breed. He said all this with such a serious expression that anyone who saw him will think he was been bullied by his mom.

Thank you for the compliments but i already know all that she said. Now pass me the proposal i need to take a look at so i can go through them while you go make me noodles Mr Vice president. She bowed her head in as a form of respect while stifling a laugh.

Ke Bohan passed her the documents and left to make the noodles, only he knew that all these are just Ru Lan's way of making the people around her not worry about her.

You've been through so much Lannie, don't worry your ray of sunshine is just a breath away he said as he walked away. Ru Lan smiled slightly as she watched him close the door to the office. He went to the kitchen designated to the CEO amidst the inquisitive eye of his secretaries and started making the noodles.
