Chapter 6 How Dare She Challenge Him

Almost reflexively, Joan made a defensive posture and blurted out, "Don't approach me!"

A dash of disappointment flashed through Darren's eyes as soon as he saw the woman's face. But
soon, his face became expressionless again.

He cast a cold glance at Joan. The latter then realized that she was being impolite. Thinking of her
mission to come here, she forced a smile. "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. I was too concentrated just now. Please
forgive me."

"So you mean it was my fault?"

Joan didn't expect such a question, so she was a little embarrassed and went straight to the point. "Mr.
Lu, the interview will begin in half an hour. Let's get started."

To her surprise, Darren slowly sat back on his boss chair and said, "No hurry."

Earlier today, this woman ran away quietly without leaving any information. He sent people to
investigate her, but there was no result. He did not expect that she would take the initiative to come to
his door.

"What's your name?"

Joan was stunned, but she soon told him her name was Linda.

With an evil smile on his face, Darren raised his dashing eyebrows and looked at her. "Yesterday, Miss
Ji still had short hair. After a night, not only did her hair change, but also her appearance changed?"

He was well-prepared! The interview hadn't even started yet, but Joan's lie had already been spotted.



The atmosphere suddenly became depressing. When she knew that the person in the interview was
Darren, she felt very uncomfortable and didn't know how to continue.

Joan fell into silence. However, Darren broke the silence. "The first time I met you was an accident, and
the second time is still an accident? I can't think it through. Tell me, why are you trying so hard to get
close to me? "

The man took a cigarette out of the cigarette box, lit it, took a deep drag, and then smoke rose from his
thin lips. His deep eyebrows and eyes were filled with haze.

It had to be said that this man really had the ability to make women crazy.

It was a dark blue, handmade suit, with a limited RM watch worth millions on his wrist. The watch was
partly hidden and partly visible under his cuff, showing his great dignity.

However, after going through the experience with Scott, Joan was not confident in these so-called top-
grade men. In her eyes, these men were just in a higher status than ordinary people, and behind the
top-grade appearance, who knew what bad characters they had.

"I don't understand what you said. Mr. Lu, I came here for an interview today. I know that you are busy
with your business, so it's better for us to start early, in case of disturbing your business. "

Darren lifted his eyebrows. Apparently, this woman didn't like him. But why did she make the interview
at his place? She didn't come here on purpose to attract his attention? Over the years, he had met all
kinds of women who tried every means to approach him. He wouldn't fall into this little trick.

"I, Darren Lu, won't accept any interview casually. Since you pretend to be Miss Ji, I think my priority
now is to ask the security guard to kick you out."



Joan bit her lower lip and kept reminding herself to calm down. She didn't want to mess up this
opportunity, which Linda had worked so hard to get to interview Darren.

"Mr. Lu, if you want to see my identification, I can give it to you. If my memory serves me right, you
have an important appointment at four o'clock." Before she entered the office, his secretary
emphasized that his time was limited.

Now, they had been delayed for ten minutes.

"What's your name?"

Left with no choice, Joan told him her name honestly.

"Joan." Darren repeated the name to himself, but he didn't remember who it was.

"Mr. Lu." Just then, the secretary opened the door and saw Joan standing there, looking surprised. But
soon, she regained her composure and respectfully handed the folder in her hand to Darren. "Miss Su
is here. What do you think?"

On the other hand, Darren frowned slightly by accident, and thought, 'Zoey Su is the daughter of the Su
family which held a good relationship with Lu family for generations. My grandfather, in particular, loves
her very much and hopes that she could marry to the Lu family and become their granddaughter in law.

Yesterday at the Imperial Palace, had Zoey even planned to drug him, have sex with him and marry
him? 'Oh, she really underestimated me. ' If he could easily fall into such a trap, then there must have
been a Mrs. Lu already. However, yesterday, he didn't directly expose her plan during the party. He
secretly changed his glass and let Zoey eat her own bitter fruit while he left the party.

But unexpectedly, he met the woman named Joan.



Joan looked down at her watch. It was almost four o'clock. She must have been so immersed in
drawing the design that she had forgotten the time. Frowning, Joan blamed herself. She had to get the
interview done. When she thought that she had to help Linda, she made up her mind and went straight
to Darren.

"Mr. Lu, within just three years, the Lu Company has reached this level. How do you feel about this?
The Lu Company hadn't engaged in real estate and other industries before. How did Mr. Lu think that
you could expand your business in this field? As the youngest CEO in S City, Mr. Lu was a popular

and famous man that anyone was eager to get close to. But what would such a state affect Mr. Lu
yourself and the Lu Company? Did you have any successful experience to share with us? ……"

Standing next to Joan, Secretary Zhang was stunned by how fast she was speaking. No one had ever
been so bold as to speak to Darren like that before.

A dash of astonishment flashed through his eyes, but he soon returned to normal. With slightly rising
brows, he seemed interested. After straightening his wrinkled clothes, he slowly stood up and walked
up to Joan. His tall figure towered over her like a giant mountain.

"If that's all you want to ask me, I don't think I will waste my time on these boring questions."

Joan was stunned. Darren went on, "As a businessman, do you think I'll teach others how to make
money and let them defeat the Lu Company?"

Raising her head, Joan met with the man's scornful and teasing eyes. Instantly, she blushed with
shyness and felt tight in the chest. Linda had told her that today's interviewee was very difficult to deal
with, but she didn't expect that Darren was beyond difficult to deal with!



Although the turmoil was going on in Joan's heart, she maintained a calm look on her face. She said
calmly, "I think only if you keep your position when everyone knows how to succeed can you really
succeed. What do you think, Mr. Lu? Or are you afraid that one day there will be another company to
replace the Lu Company? "

Joan's response aroused his great astonishment. He had intended to see how speechless she would
be. However, to his surprise, he wasn't flustered by her words.

"I always thought that Mr. Lu was a person who distinguish public from private interests. I didn't expect
that when I saw him in person today, I knew that it was not the case. It was just because I left Mr. Lu
this morning, that Mr. Lu was so vindictive. Mr. Lu was just so so."

When he heard Joan mentioned what had happened in the hotel today in such a sarcastic tone, he
squinted and his face had a thin layer of anger. He knew that she did it on purpose.

How dare she challenge him openly.

Joan was actually making a bet. She bet that a man like Darren who had self-esteem wouldn't allow
anyone to challenge his authority.
