Chapter 1137: Ruthless CEO 27

Originally, Li Shuangtong was a little worried that Tang Wan might not adapt to LS Group’s high-intensity and fast-paced work environment. However, very quickly he discovered that her work ability was far beyond expectations. Not only could she fully keep up with his decision-making rhythm, she could even extend his ideas and propose more practical and innovative solutions.

This discovery made his appreciation for her rise rapidly.

He didn’t care if she was inexperienced or newly transferred—what mattered was that she was a rare gem. A pearl that could shine with its own light once polished. And now, that pearl was in his hands.

Every time he thought of Fu Yunshan “discarding” such a person, Li Shuangtong felt a faint displeasure. That man had clearly wasted a treasure without knowing it.

But now it didn’t matter. The pearl had already landed in his hands.

He would make sure she stood on the brightest stage possible—and let Fu Yunshan regret his blindness.

Only someone like him was worthy of protecting her brilliance.

Meanwhile, the senior executives of LS Group, who had initially been skeptical of Tang Wan, quickly changed their attitude after witnessing her capabilities. Their prejudice faded, replaced with genuine admiration.

In fact, many of them privately concluded that Tang Wan was the only person in the company who could truly keep up with President Li’s thinking.

Even they sometimes struggled to fully understand Li Shuangtong’s strategic direction. Yet Tang Wan could always grasp the core intent immediately and respond accurately.

No wonder she had been directly placed in the president’s office area and given a residence in Blue Whale Bay upon joining.

Everyone knew Blue Whale Bay wasn’t just expensive—it was a symbol of status. Even among S City’s elite, not everyone was qualified to live there.

A week passed quickly since Tang Wan joined LS Group.

Although both she and Li Shuangtong lived in Blue Whale Bay, their schedules rarely overlapped, and at work they maintained a strictly professional distance.

Until this evening.

Heavy rain poured outside the city, drumming against the glass windows.

Tang Wan glanced at Li Shuangtong, who was still reviewing documents at his desk, her eyes turning slightly.

Rainy weather… perfect excuse to stay.

The company was almost empty. The lounge inside the president’s office could easily be used for rest.

Rounding it off, it was just the two of them alone now.

A perfect opportunity.

She quietly closed the folder in her hand and placed it back into the cabinet. “Mr. Li, it looks like the rain outside is quite heavy.”

Li Shuangtong looked up at the window. “Mm, it is.”

Then he added naturally, “It’s inconvenient to drive in this weather. Why don’t you come back with me?”

Although he didn’t explicitly say “stay,” the implication was obvious.

Tang Wan paused briefly, then nodded. “Alright, thank you, Mr. Li. I actually still have a proposal I wanted to discuss with you anyway.”

Li Shuangtong’s expression relaxed slightly. “Let’s go. The rain won’t stop anytime soon. We might as well leave work early.”

“Okay, President Li.”

She shut down her computer, removed her anti-blue light glasses, and smiled faintly before following him.

As they walked closer together toward the exit, Tang Wan’s eyes flickered.

She subtly shifted her step—and deliberately slipped.
