Before Shen Zhinian could refute, his small body had already been forcibly taken away.
Behind them, Su Mang hurriedly gathered up the pieces and followed them, trying to stop them.
Lu Jingchuan glanced away with cold eyes and threatened cold-bloodedly: "If you don't want to be banned from the film and television industry, just stay here honestly."
Su Mang is an entertainment reporter. If he is really banned from the film and television industry, it will be equivalent to ruining his career.
Shen Zhinian immediately became nervous and answered for her without waiting for Su Mang to speak: "I'll go with you, don't embarrass her."
"Shen Zhinian, what do you mean, you look down on me? I can survive even if I don't work as a reporter, but if you follow him, your life or death will be unpredictable. You don't know this, right?" Su Mang was anxious and asked her loudly to stop. Consider it.
Her words echoed in the silent room.
Lu Jingchuan's eyes darkened and he looked down at Shen Zhinian.
But Shen Zhinian just smiled helplessly and persuaded Su Mang nicely: "Don't be too exaggerated. Go back first. Don't you still have to sort out the videos?"
Hearing what she said, Su Mang had no choice but to give up and walked through them angrily, not forgetting to remind Shen Zhinian: "Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, I understand." Shen Zhinian coaxed her best friend, feeling soft in her heart.
Fortunately, she still has Su Mang.
Lu Jingchuan saw Shen Zhinian's dependence on Su Mang and felt unhappy, but said nothing more and turned around and walked out.
Shen Zhinian consciously followed.
It seems that tonight will be unlucky. I'll send a message to Su Mang later and ask her to help him prepare miscarriage.
With this in mind, she consciously got into the passenger seat of Lu Jingchuan.
The man started without a word.
The night scene outside the car window passed quickly. Shen Zhinian stared at the car window in a daze. When she turned a corner, the familiar lighthouse appeared in front of her eyes. Her dull eyes lit up for a second, and she turned her head suddenly, with a face full of surprise: "Mr. Lu?"
This is clearly the way to Su Mang's house.
Is he sending her home?
Lu Jingchuan glanced at her lightly, without even moving his brows, and said calmly: "Your friend said that I am very evil. If I really take you away, I'm afraid she will come to your door with the police."
"Mr. Lu is still afraid of the police?" Shen Zhinian teased smoothly, and the corners of his raised lips dropped quietly before he finished speaking.
They are no longer in a relationship where they can joke around casually.
Sensing her emotional change, Lu Jingchuan's flash of smile was completely hidden in the darkness.
The car slowly stopped in front of Su Mang's apartment. Shen Zhinian didn't know how to say goodbye for a while. After thinking about it, he took the initiative and mentioned: "It was Su Mang and I's plan to meet Director Yang today. We recorded the evidence of his random actions. In addition, Su Mang is a reporter, and Director Yang does not dare to take risks."
She looked at Lu Jingchuan out of the corner of her eye, and saw his eyes looking at her calf, which was where the dress was torn, and then added: "I will buy a pair of clothes and give it to Secretary Gao as compensation, Mr. Lu doesn't have to worry."
"Mr. Lu, be careful when you go back."
Shen Zhinian lowered his head and unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and was about to get out, but Lu Jingchuan grabbed his left wrist.
Lu Jingchuan's eyes were dark and menacing in the dark, his Adam's apple rolled, and his low and hoarse voice revealed a bit of compromise: "I'll give you another chance. If you come with me tonight, I can forget about it."
There was a brief silence in the carriage.
Shen Zhinian slowly but firmly pulled out his wrist, lowered his eyes and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for sending me home. Please drive safely."
After that, he got off the car neatly.
Lu Jingchuan watched through the car window as she entered the community without looking back. His empty right hand tightened into a fist and he clenched his back teeth.
Why bother letting her go just now? She is not grateful at all! It’s so kind to treat me like a donkey liver and lungs!
Shen Zhinian stood by the window and watched the car turn around and leave. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot emptyer at the same time.
Is she too ungrateful? That was an olive branch thrown by Lu Jingchuan.
But it was useless to think about it now.
——
At the morning meeting the next day, the secretaries reported on their daily work routines. It was Shen Zhinian's turn. Just as she was about to stand up, Aileen took over her words and ignored her.
Shen Zhinian subconsciously looked at Lu Jingchuan, who didn't move his eyes and was not interested.
She bit her lower lip in humiliation and held back without making a sound.
After Irene finished her report, she naturally handed it over to Gao Qian.
Gao Qian smiled and nodded, and spoke calmly: "The Qichen project that was originally scheduled to be completed at the end of the month has been completed, saving about a week of construction time and reducing costs in all aspects."
What? !
Shen Zhinian's eyes widened. She was clearly the one who quickly begged her father and grandma to complete the Venucia project. How did it become Gao Qian's achievement?
Other colleagues applauded and praised.
Shen Zhinian looked at Lu Jingchuan helplessly.
The latter's expression was dull. He exchanged a look with Shen Zhinian and then pursed his lips steadily: "Well done. This month's performance will be doubled, and the year-end bonus will be doubled."
Gao Qian's face was full of joy: "Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
"Mr. Lu, you clearly know that I have followed up the whole process. Didn't you see everything yesterday!?" Shen Zhinian couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and stared into Lu Jingchuan's eyes.
The man raised his eyelids and looked back emotionlessly: "Whoever engages me will accomplish this."
Isn't this acquiescing to Gao Qian's behavior of grabbing credit?
For a moment, everyone else in the conference room was thinking. Irene's face was full of pride. Gao Qian was proud but was a little concerned about what Shen Zhinian had just said.
As expected, Lu Jingchuan went to see Shen Zhinian yesterday.
"Meeting dismissed."
These two words are more lethal than anything else.
Colleagues left one after another, only Shen Zhinian sat there, unable to recover.
She can be ridiculed and bullied, but she cannot bear to have her hard-earned achievements taken away from her.
Shen Zhinian thought about it again and again, and quickly followed him out, hoping to talk to Lu Jingchuan for a clear explanation.
Before taking two steps, Irene blocked the corridor and sneered: "Want to see Mr. Lu? Sorry, Mr. Lu just went to a cocktail party with Secretary Gao."
"Get out of the way." Shen Zhinian just sat in the CEO's office and waited until Lu Jingchuan came back.
"Snapped--"
Loud slaps echoed throughout the corridor, and passers-by hurriedly avoided in surprise.
Shen Zhinian covered the side of her face and stared at Irene in disbelief: "You do it?"
Eileen said proudly: "So what if I take action? With Secretary Gao speaking for me, you don't think Mr. Lu will still make the decision for you, right? You haven't suffered enough from the previous losses - ah!"
Her defiance turned to screaming.
Shen Zhinian made up for it with another slap with his backhand, his expression became more stern: "Irene, I don't have the time or the intention to deal with you. It's not that I'm afraid of you. You'd better have a longer memory!"
"You...just wait!" Irene was furious and made a threat.
In the next week, Shen Zhinian truly felt the consequences of "waiting".
It is common for workstations to be contaminated and documents to be full of errors and omissions. The reports that are prepared never reach Lu Jingchuan's hands intact.
For a moment, Shen Zhinian seemed to be a cancer in the secretary's office, and any mistakes were blamed on her.
"What are you doing!" Lu Jingchuan looked at the mess of documents and became angry in a rare way.
Everyone took a step back in unison, leaving Shen Zhinian standing alone opposite Lu Jingchuan, facing his low pressure alone.
