Erin was known throughout the office as someone who hated getting married. There were three fiancés who dumped her at the last minute. Anyone who mentioned marriage would get a look from her.
At this time, her cheeks were red with anger, her chest was heaving violently, and she wished she could just throw herself on Shen Zhinian.
Shen Zhinian walked past her as if nothing had happened, turned around and left after explaining everything in an orderly manner, not forgetting to smile at Gao Qian at the end: "Secretary Gao, prepare the dress for the business banquet the day after tomorrow. Mr. Lu and I have sent you the sizes."
A few days ago, he was the master, but today he was reduced to being the one being ordered around. Gao Qian looked ugly, embarrassed and had to force a smile to respond: "Okay."
"Thanks for your hard work."
As soon as Shen Zhinian left, Irene came over and whispered: "Secretary Shen is too arrogant. I don't even look at your background. I guess she bought all her academic qualifications. I don't know." What are you proud of?"
Gao Qian listened and tried to persuade her: "Secretary Shen is Mr. Lu's most trusted secretary after all. It would be more secure to let her arrange it."
"Tsk, you are too kind. It's weird that you don't get bullied to death by Shen Zhinian." Irene shook her head and returned to her work station with a sigh of relief.
On the day of the business banquet, Gao Qian sent a matching black and white dress. The men had a black suit and black and white leather shoes. The women had a black and white chest-length dress and a pair of black suede stiletto heels. They were all new products of the season. True to size.
Shen Zhinian went to the lounge to change into a dress first, which just revealed her straight and slender calves and well-defined Achilles tendons, which were quite sexy and alluring.
Lu Jingchuan looked up and glanced from top to bottom. He was visibly satisfied and nodded directly: "Not bad."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Gao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, smiled brightly, and reminded Shen Zhinian: "Do you need to try on the shoes?"
"Need not."
Gao Qian nodded: "Okay."
When it was time to set off for the business banquet, Shen Zhinian had changed into his dress early and was waiting for Lu Jingchuan. Just as he walked out of the door, he suddenly heard a "crack" sound and the waist and hips of the dress were completely ripped open.
Shen Zhinian's mind went blank for a moment and he looked at Lu Jingchuan helplessly.
The latter frowned displeased and looked down at the time: "There's still half an hour, are you in time?"
"I have a spare set of dresses, but they may not be so expensive." She always had the habit of keeping multiple sets. Without waiting for Lu Jingchuan's reply, she picked up her skirt and trotted back to the president's office.
I don’t know if I ran too fast, but my heels hurt a little.
Shen Zhinian didn't care about this and dug out an old silver halterneck dress. It was from a few years ago, but it was only the first one that Lu Jingchuan gave her, so she cherished it until now.
She hurriedly changed and tied on a black bag with silver and white decorations to match it, so that the whole thing would be less strange.
When Lu Jingchuan got in the car, he glanced at her dress, surprise and inquiry flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, in the secretary room, Gao Qian was handling official business. Irene walked in hurriedly, full of joy: "Guess who I just saw? Shen Zhinian actually went to the business banquet wearing an old style from a few years ago. It's really It’s embarrassing for Mr. Lu.”
"Really? Isn't Mr. Lu very unhappy?"
"Hmph, Shen Zhinian will be pulled down sooner or later, just wait and see her good show."
…
Their discussion fell into Gao Qian's ears word by word. Gao Qian hid her sneer and glanced out the window in the direction the car was leaving. It was worth her effort to remove the hidden thread of the dress, but the highlight was yet to come!
Shen Zhinian and Lu Jingchuan rushed to the business banquet in time. Everyone was angry at Lu Jingchuan but dared not say anything. They all greeted him with fake smiles. Their eyes fell on Shen Zhinian's dress intentionally or unintentionally, with sarcasm hidden in their eyes.
After meeting your partners, you know what they are thinking without having to guess.
"Mr. Lu is so depressed now? He can't even give me a nice dress. I really let down such a beauty."
Who dares to tell the truth?
Shen Zhinian looked at the source of the sound in surprise, and was even more surprised when he saw the other person's face: "Mr. Yan?"
Why is he here?
Lu Jingchuan frowned for a moment when he heard her address, and looked at Lu Yan questioningly: "Why didn't I know when you changed your surname to Yan?"
Lu Yan's smile did not change, his eyes focused on Shen Zhinian: "Whatever the beauty says my last name will be, I will."
They seem to know each other?
Shen Zhinian keenly sensed something was wrong and tried hard to weaken his presence.
But Lu Yan seemed to be on a collision course with her, as his words and eyes followed her: "Miss Shen, meeting each other means we are destined. We have met each other for the second time. This is not an ordinary fate."
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Shen Zhinian simply met Lu Yan's gaze openly: "It seems there was some misunderstanding last time. Although I don't know who you are, I want to apologize first."
Lu Yan took a step closer and ignored Lu Jingchuan: "In that case, let me introduce myself seriously. I am Lu Yan, and I am also Lu Jingchuan's brother. You can call me Mr. Lu. After all, as an elder brother, I have to leave him. .”
Before Shen Zhinian could answer, an arm separated the two of them, and Lu Jingchuan warned with an ugly face: "Lu Yan, take care of yourself, this is my person."
Shen Zhinian's heart skipped a beat, and her body felt hot because of his words.
Lu Yan's eyes darkened, then brightened up again: "We are all brothers, why are you so stingy? You can't even afford decent clothes, so you might as well follow me, huh?"
The second half of the sentence was obviously asking Shen Zhinian.
Shen Zhinian's face turned red. Is this Lu Yan such a libertine?
She caught a glimpse of Lu Jingchuan's gloomy face, calmed her mind in time, and smiled politely: "This dress is the first one Mr. Lu gave me. It is very important to me, just like this business banquet is to me." It’s very important, that’s why I chose this piece, after all, classics will last forever.”
The implication is that they were specially selected for this banquet, which also showed the importance Lu Jingchuan attached to this business banquet.
After all, Lu Jingchuan was not someone who couldn't afford a dress, so everyone naturally chose to believe Shen Zhinian's explanation.
Lu Yan's smile paused for a moment, his eyes finally shifted from Shen Zhinian to Lu Jingchuan, and he said meaningfully, "This secretary of yours is indeed extraordinary."
"Are you done?" Lu Jingchuan didn't have a good expression. He directly put his arms around Shen Zhinian's waist and took her away forcefully.
As if to declare sovereignty.
Shen Zhinian's mind was in a mess. When he got to a quiet place, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a brother?"
It's strange that she has never heard of it after following him for so many years.
"It's very dirty, you don't need to know." Lu Jingchuan obviously didn't think highly of Lu Yan's ability and sneered.
Shen Zhinian didn't care, because there was something even more distracting at this time - the pain in her feet became increasingly difficult to ignore, and it seemed like something had penetrated her heels.
Is it because I haven’t worn high heels for a long time and I’m not used to it?
She was distracted and looking for an excuse to take a look.
Seeing her absent-minded look, Lu Jingchuan frowned and sarcastically said angrily: "You really want to hook up with Lu Yan?"
