Shen Zhinian didn't waste any more time, packed up and left.
After the crisp sound of the door closing, Lu Jingchuan raised his eyebrows, watched Shen Zhinian enter the elevator, and made a phone call: "Follow Shen Zhinian."
Crescent Bay Restaurant in the city center is a famous restaurant for couples. The dim lights and swaying wind chimes all reveal romance.
Shen Zhinian had no intention of enjoying the romance and beautiful scenery, and nervously waited for Lu Yan to show up.
"Ms. Shen, I really didn't expect you to contact me. I'm really flattered."
Before the person arrived, his romantic and hoarse voice came out, so seductive that the men and women sitting next to him couldn't help but chase after his back.
Shen Zhinian didn't notice it at all and put on a polite smile. When he saw Lu Yan sitting down, his throat was a little tight and he was thinking about his words.
Lu Yan was quite relaxed and had already ordered wine and desserts while she was thinking about it. He looked at Shen Zhinian with a smile, his eyes were calm and not oppressive.
The silence lasted for a long time.
Lu Yan's patience ran out and he took the initiative to start the topic: "Did Miss Shen ask me out just because she missed my face?"
"No," Shen Zhinian retorted subconsciously, but later realized that such a rebuttal was not a good idea, so he added: "Mr. Xiao Lu is indeed charming, but when I see you this time, I have something to ask Mr. Lu for help."
"Miss Shen, just tell me."
"I would like to ask Mr. Xiao Lu to help me deal with a person." As long as Shen Zhiguo is dealt with, there will be no worries.
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, quite surprised, and asked with interest: "I didn't expect Miss Shen to have such a request?"
Shen Zhinian didn't want to say more, rubbed his fingers together, and replied in a low voice: "I really have no choice. I think Xiao Lu is always well-informed, and he must have more ideas than me."
"Why don't you find Lu Jingchuan? He has more tricks than me." Lu Yan didn't seem to have any interest in the person she wanted to deal with, and asked Shen Zhinian from an angle that he had never expected.
"Mr. Lu... is very busy."
Today Liu Chang was acting rogue at the gate of the Lu family, while Lu Jingchuan just sat quietly in the CEO's office and ignored him, as if a stranger was making trouble downstairs.
Although he didn't say it, he was probably tired of all the bad things going on in her family.
Lu Yan looked at Shen Zhinian's expression playfully, and after a while he slowly asked: "Then what good does it do for me? After all, it takes a lot of my energy to deal with a person."
Shen Zhinian's face froze slightly. She had thought that Lu Yan would make a request, and she had always been lucky, but she didn't expect that she couldn't escape.
But what could she give him?
Seeing her hesitation, Lu Yan smiled lightly: "Miss Shen, don't be nervous. I won't take advantage of you. I just have a small request. If Miss Shen can agree, then it won't be a problem for me."
Shen Zhinian took a deep breath, did a lot of mental preparation, and then said: "Mr. Xiao Lu, please speak."
"How about you go out with me on a sunny weekend? Turn off your phone and ignore any incoming calls." Lu Yan's smile did not change and he issued an invitation lightly.
It sounds like just a small invitation to go along for the weekend.
"Just going out with you?" Shen Zhinian confirmed hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I'm not a beast like Lu Jingchuan." Lu Yan's fox eyes curled up, and he gave Lu Jingchuan a bite.
Shen Zhinian felt relieved and agreed: "Okay, as long as Xiao Lu can keep Shen Zhiguo away from my mother and me."
"Deal." Lu Yan raised his wine glass to signal.
The two clinked glasses.
After settling Shen Zhiguo's matter for the time being, Shen Zhinian could not completely relax. His mind was filled with the person who wrote the draft. He was absent-minded even while eating, thinking that it would be over as soon as possible and that he could catch up with the media director.
Lu Yan swung his wine glass, his eyes sliding from Shen Zhinian's small and tall nose to her bulging cheeks, and then stopped for a while to move to her slender and white neck.
It's strange. As Lu Jingchuan's general secretary, she is surprisingly simple. She doesn't even have a necklace on such a beautiful neck.
"Mr. Lu?" Shen Zhinian couldn't eat anymore. After a few bites, he pretended to find an excuse to say goodbye. When he raised his head, he noticed Lu Yan's wandering eyes and called out in confusion.
Lu Yan returned his gaze to her full eyes and responded with a smile: "Huh?"
"I still have……"
"Ding"
The cell phone rings.
Lu Yan's mobile phone screen lit up.
"Oh, here we come."
"Huh? What's coming?" Shen Zhinian was confused.
While talking, Lu Yan pushed the phone in front of her and said casually: "I've done a little research for you, so you don't have to go there yourself. You can also have a meal with me for a while."
Shen Zhinian looked at his screen blankly and stopped.
This was the media director she wanted to meet right away.
"He is an unpopular person. He probably listened to a few gossips from a talkative woman in the Lu family, and then published the article with added embarrassment." Lu Yan introduced briefly.
Shen Zhinian frowned and didn't quite understand: "If it's just him, why doesn't he delete the manuscript when there is such a big fuss now? Does he dare to go against the Lu family?"
Lu Yan answered leisurely: "Because no one put pressure on him."
"What's the meaning?"
"Miss Shen, you understand what this means better than I do." Lu Yan's fox eyes became more serious.
Shen Zhinian closed his eyes and remained silent.
She had handled thousands of public relations emergencies, and of course she understood what he meant - Mr. Lu had never put pressure on him and allowed the incident to fester.
Has Lu Jingchuan not seen this news yet?
But it’s been on the top trending searches, so why can’t I see it?
The public relations department should have responded immediately, but there has been no report or feedback so far. Shen Zhinian almost thought that the people in the report had the same name.
Has Lu Jingchuan really thought about protecting her?
Shen Zhinian's hands and feet were cold, so she took the wine glass and took a sip. She choked and coughed, her throat was spicy, and her eyes were red.
"Mr. Xiao Lu, thank you." She thanked her sincerely.
Seeing her forbearing look, Lu Yan only felt thirsty, and even though he was thirsty, he felt a little soft-hearted. He took the initiative to ask: "Removing the manuscript is just a matter of one sentence, Miss Shen..."
Shen Zhinian forced a smile: "Don't bother Mr. Lu, after all, this is an internal matter of the Lu family. The Lu family will solve it. Mr. Lu can help me deal with Shen Zhiguo. I can't thank you enough."
She didn't have any hopes before coming. After all, she only met Lu Yan a few times, but she didn't expect that Lu Yan actually agreed.
After solving the main incident, the two of them concentrated on eating. Lu Yan's humor made Shen Zhinian laugh frequently, briefly forgetting the recent unhappiness.
Outside the restaurant, in the dark carriage, Lu Jingchuan stared at the two people chatting and laughing behind the glass window from afar, his face was sullen, and his back molars clenched unconsciously.
Gao Qian on the other end of the phone was asking: "Mr. Lu, the topic related to Secretary Shen has become the top trending topic. Do you need to remove it?"
Lu Jingchuan opened his lips and said in a cold and ruthless voice: "Don't withdraw yet, use this topic to release a new product preview tomorrow."
