I am a top commercial spy, codenamed "Undercurrent".
The target of this mission is Lu Shichen, the young master of the Lu Group who is known for his innocence and simplicity. He is twenty-two years old, studying painting, and is ignorant of worldly affairs. His eyes turn into crescents when he smiles, and he will stay in the art gallery for a whole afternoon looking at a painting.
What perfect prey.
It took me three months to get close to him and half a year to make him fall in love with me. I took him to eat at roadside stalls, went to art exhibitions with him, and stayed up all night when he had a fever. When he grabbed the corner of my clothes and said, "Brother, don't leave me," I felt for the first time that the task progress bar didn't seem that important anymore.
On the day of closing, Lu's stock price collapsed, the chairman was hospitalized, and the building was about to collapse.
Lu Shichen stood in the messy office, wiped away his tears, and dialed the phone.
His voice was terrifyingly calm: "Dad, as planned, buy his company."
I stood there and suddenly remembered the day we first met - the afternoon sun fell on the side of his face, he turned his head and smiled at me and asked: "Do you like this painting too?"
It turns out that from beginning to end, I was the one drawn on the paper.
